  • I was with @DrMichaelBrooks of the @NewStatesman right up until he said the word ‘ban’

    …which was not very long then: Time to ban breast implants Michael Brooks […] Cosmetic surgery is nothing more than an industrial-scale scientific experiment. The augmentation of women’s breasts began as an application of chemical wizardry, ushered in on the gleaming wings of postwar science. The surgeon’s hypothesis has been that a problem of self-esteem

    I’m beginning to wonder if everyone else from that era is dead, or something… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zardoz_(computer_security) The Zardoz list, more formally known as the Security-Digest list, was a famous semi-private full disclosure mailing list run by Neil Gorsuch from 1989 through 1991, identifying weaknesses in systems and where to find them. Zardoz is most notable for
