Edward Felten

has recounted a bad experience with SpamCop in his new weblog, Freedom To Tinker. Interesting story about the excesses among the erstwhile “good guys” in the fight against spam. [via boingboing]

PGP Home

PGP Home

PGP Home. ‘Nuff said? Maybe not. There’s a new company in town, and it has bought Pretty Good Privacy from NAI. So it seems that PGP itself remains a viable encryption system – though frankly, that was more or less true independent of this announcement via the GPG initiative among others.

Matt Haughey

Matt Haughey

has written a nice up-to-the-moment summary of wireless local network security issues. The basic conclusion: there are security issues all over the pace, but there is no simple way to give yourself a truly secure net at this time.

Via a long trail of sources

Via a long trail of sources

I came to a blog by Brian St. Pierre, who, in a piece called Hacking the Law, suggests that as many or most of us on the Internet are also copyright owners, the Berman Coble bill could be taken advantage of by all of us. Dave Winer picks up the thread in Scripting News today: “I wonder if anyone at the RIAA has a copy of Scripting News on their hard drive? Hmmm. If the law passes, I could write a virus to find out. Of course it would have to look at all their computers to be sure we didn’t miss any.”

, Elvis is everywhere! At least today, 25 years since his death, he’s everywhere. I did NOT grow out my sideburns in tribute (as a friend of mine actually did a few years ago), but I did pick up the hated bio by Albert Goldman a couple of weeks ago and have been glimpsing at that now and then.
