The Reith Lectures are considered to be one of the pinnacles of British broadcasting achievement, an annual event with a long history [www.bbc.co.uk] of erudite presentation from big names in academia (and real life too).

Dropsafe is being aggregated by an aggregator whose aggregate is fed to www.feedster.com that feeds the feed to feedreaders and which has nominated the same to be “feed of the day“. Spiffing! Well done DME of [www.planetsun.org] – or as we know him, “Dave”.

Fascinating article at [www.securityfocus.com] – I can’t help wonder if UUCP-like E-mail networks implemented over secure P2P infrastructures will arise to bypass such, my line of thinking being prompted by [www.crypticide.com] – leading to them promptly being banned, or somesuch idiocy.
