FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Backdoor Bonanza" published June 30, 2013 - Peter: Whatcha doing? Jason: Putting the finishing touches on my encryption/decryption software. With the recent revelations that our government likely has backdoor access to everyone's phone records and online activity, I figure people with what a way to restore a sense of privacy to their digital lives. So I'm writing code that will cloak a person's communications and data in such a way that even the NSA won't be able to monitor or crack it. I'll make it a free download via bittorrent sites. No one will be able to stop its spread! Soon the entire world will be using it! It's like a sure thing, Peter! I'm going to be rich! Peter: You just said it's free... Jason: Well, the backdoor access I'll sell to governments won't be.

This one's for me!

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Summer Dehydration" published May 26, 2013 - Peter: Looks like SOMEONE's thirsty! Jason: Yeah. Summer vacation always dehydrates me. The warm air outside dries me out...The air conditioning inside dries me out...And then there's the cruelest fluid thief of all... Peter: Which would be...? Paige: Hey, Jason! No math tests for three whole months! Peter: In that case you might want to drink faster. Jason: WAAAAAAA! Quick, grab me a refill! WAAAAAAA!

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Finals Simulator" published May 19, 2013 - Andy: Shouldn't you be studying?? It's finals week! Peter: Mom, relax. Jason's upstairs working on my simulator as we speak. Andy: Your what? Peter: I'm paying him to write me a computer app that will simulate taking the final exam in each one of my classes. It should be pretty sweet. He's using the 3-D engine from "Haloshock Tournament". Astronauts train with simulators, soldiers train with simulators, even some doctors now train with simulators...I figure it's gotta be an effective learning tool, right? Andy: Peter, your first two tests are tomorrow! Peter: Jason says if you'll waive his bedtime tonight he can deliver a working beta by 4:30 a.m. that'll give me a solid three hours for training. You're cool with that, right? I mean, my semester grades are at stake. Make sure the simulator accounts for my eardrums being destroyed. Jason: Was that mom screaming? She's getting louder, have you noticed?
