CFP 2002 Wrapup

← Back to Stories (view on slashdot.org)

Roger Clarke is an computer scientist who attends many of the CFP conferences, and more importantly for our purposes, takes notes. His notes for this year's conference make good reading and cover a wide variety of issues that Slashdot touches upon. Privacy, biometrics, domain names, the digital divide, intellectual property, it's all here. NTK this week has a nice quip on the conference: "And the more the CFPers confer, the more they seemed to realise that Hollywood is going for the hat-trick: taking away freedom, privacy *and* computers. Pretty impressive. But only if they manage it."

"Hollywood is going for the hat-trick: taking away freedom, privacy *and* computers"

They are so right. Like, Brad Pitt was just at my house, and he took my computer, installed video camaras, and enslaved my children!

He's so cute though...

Aren't you the least bit concerned that you've given Mr. Malda the grounds for filing a libel lawsuit against you? I believe this clearly falls outside the realm of protected speech.
