ECC-521 exceeds RSA4096 in terms of security strength, and it would only require approx 75 ascii chars to represent the key. It's still ridiculously long, but it's certainly much shorter than the 800 chars required by RSA4096!

Am I reading this right? Someone is implying Bill Gates is the Nice guy?! are you forgeting the bad old times during Bill Gates' reign, when every day we would curse and mock our computers because we were forced to use something so horrible? come on. Microsoft *is* what it is, it hasn't changed. Only difference is now we're getting used to it and might even have limited alternatives available to us.
