    @Dodecahedron, yes it would seem stupid, but again, given enough time even AES 256 bit encryption can be cracked and given his background in software engineering and cryptography, he knows this and had to have taken it into consideration. if the government cracks it and feels that the information isn't too sensitive to leak, then they have total control and he doesn't have any leverage.

    • But if its nothing then he just totally bullshitted everyone? Is it really giving him any leverage?
      ********
    • if nobody can crack it, and he can keep the government(s) from 'taking him out', yes, i'd call that leverage.SteveJobs
    • Well what I mean to ask is if having a 'doomsday file' at all really does anything if no one knows whats in it. He's releasing shit loads anyway
      ********
    • ... lots of info anyway, he's in trouble. If someone wants to kill him they won't not do it because of an unknown file contents
      ********
    • yes, i'm asking that question as well (below) :)SteveJobs
