The Norwegian authorities do not seem to be in a great hurry to bring Jan Johansen to trial. If Norway declines to prosecute Jan, or if he is acquited, can links to his site from the 2600 site be illegal?
Are links to Frank Stevenson's cryptanlysis of CSS still legal?
You might want to read "Engineering a Compiler" by Patty Anklam, Dave Cutler, Roger Heinen, and Doug MacLaren, from Digital (as in DEC) Press, ISBN 0-932376-19-3. (Dave Cutler was one of the architects of VMS and, eventually, Windows/NT.) This is the team that wrote the Dec VMS compilers (PL/1 and Vax-C). If I remember correctly, their back-end code generator was used for several (most? all?) other Dec VMS compilers. Dave's thesis was that a good compiler could outperform all but the best assembler programmers (and Dave was an awesome assembler programmer on the PDP-11 and Vax architectures). If I remember the book correctly (it's at home), their idea was to generate straight-forward assembler code and pipeline-optimize everything by detecting and rewriting assembler code sequences.

Information about the date change was distributed by the EFF's lawyer. Since the new date is right in the middle of the RSA conference being held within walking distance of the court, you can expect a substantial turnout.
I've been trying to get my code speed up from the barely functional 5 WPM and, in the true "cypherpunks write code" style, wrote my own teaching applet/application. If you want to try it for yourself, look at Morse Practice. It runs as an applet or application, and the source is also available. Note, however, that it is not 100% Pure Java (it uses the sun.audio classes) and has only been tested on a Mac. Bugfixes are always welcome.
I would suggest that Dr. Strangelove used a number of Cold War figures, including Teller, Herman Kahn (the author of Mutual Assured Destruction, aka "MAD"), and a few of the other "nuke 'em back to the stone age" folk). Remember, it was made shortly after the Cuban missile crisis and in the very initial stages of the Viet Nam war. Another "ancestor" of Dr. Strangelove is the scientist in the 1926 film, Metropolis

In addition to the Palm OS, Grafitti was available for the Apple Newton and the HandSprint Palm "clone."

Get there early for a good seat.

Apple posted a patch to the Open Transport Stack on its web page at
Open Transport Tuner 1.0. You may also find more information on the Mac Attack FAQ.
