/me shakes her head at Andrew Farmer. Okay, now it's just ridiculous to suggest that you wouldn't be able to implement a time limitation on something encrypted simply because "clocks can be changed". What 'clocks' are talking about -- which are you basing it off of? What if you decided to code into the encryption the use of atomic clocks, and include more than one or two as a redundancy/security check? Someone's really going create a huge conspiracy to change a few of the world's atomic clocks drastically to be able to crack someone's encrypted data? :P -jax

No. Think about it for a moment.
