Pre-class Discussion for Jan 10

There's an interesting episode of the "Cranky Geeks" (great name!) webcast, hosted by PC Magazine columnist John Dvorak, that features Whit Diffie of public key encryption fame. It's a half-hour long, but it covers a wide range of the topics considered today and in this class as a whole. It is also fairly entertaining. At the end of the interview Diffie said he's proposing a goal of strict product liability for software in 10 years. See ref [1] --Tseiver 20:35, 9 January 2008 (EST)
