I have been interested in the LOCOG insistence that the 2012 games are the first "social media" games. (Apparently 2010 didn't count since the winter Olympics aren't "real" Olympic games: ancient Greece had no curling sheets, and there were problems using Mount Olympus for the downhill events.)

We use terms like `prevent.' What's wrong with `stop'? It's shorter and just as good. - Angus McIlwraith victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm http://www.infosecbc.org/links http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/author/p1/ http://twitter.com/rslade _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
