Two followups to my @giles_fraser / Richard Dawkins @rdfrs post – one newspaper, one funny
I posted: So when a Christian taunts a scientist about knowing his liturgy, I find it as sad as I suspect a believer might find an atheist like me demanding evidence before faith. But what I also believe is that the fact that people can self-identify (ie: “profess belief”) and thereby obtain influence and seniority

So @Giles_Fraser's test of Dawkins' belief in evolution is if he can recite the name of a book, not whether he believes in evidence.

Regarding @Giles_Fraser on @BBCR4Today and the Richard Dawkins interview…
This morning on the Today programme Giles Fraser clashed mildly with Richard Dawkins over the latter’s foundation’s press release, of an Ipsos MORI poll of census self-declared Christians, with findings that: One in six (15%) admits to having never read the Bible outside a church service, with a further one in three (36%) not having

“Learning about Cybersecurity from an Unnatural World” (http://goo.gl/iCqrS at Computerworld)
Learning about Cybersecurity from an Unnatural World Radio 4 on Security: Bio, Cyber or otherwise… I was listening to the rerun of File On 4[1] this evening, and a chap from the FBI said something very sensible about Cybersecurity.

Why are US economy stats being used to suggest an impending UK recovery, when there is a US election due soon? Duh?

Yes, it is possible to hack a Mac through the new DisplayPort/Thunderbolt interface, exactly the same way it is possible to hack Macs and PCs through FireWire interfaces. How?
