Calm down man. Quantum computers notwithstanding, it will always be easier to increase keyspace than it will be to brute force crack the same key. Distributed.net is working on RSA Labs 72-bit key right now, but the amount of time required to encrypt something with a massively larger key isn't a big deal - say, 512 bit or even 1024 bit.
