    The organization that is serving the talk has a <a href="http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/office/webcam.html">wecbcam ( http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/office/webcam.html )</a> in there office. Despite serving an avi file linked directly from the slashdot page, there doesn't seem to be fire :P I think you meant to say: The organization that is serving the talk has a wecbcam ( http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/office/webcam.html ) in there office.

  2. Shared Secret FTW (no more finger print checking) on Protecting IM From Big Brother · · Score: 1
