Thanks, Everybody,
It Was Barry Commoner, in a three article series in the NY-er beginning Feb

And it does have a long and loving account of entropy. I still haven't been
able to read it because the archive system is hostile to ordinary mortals,
but I will let y
A while back I mentioned Timothy Gowers and others had started a mathematics
collaboration project, the Polymath Project. Basically its "open source math".

I recall reading the NYer article by Commoner at the time,
as the subject matter was of keen interest to me then, and continues
to be.
FYI, a couple of other related seminal publications from those days:
The Entropy Law and the Economic Process, by Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen,
If so, where? Garcia Street Books?

Folks,
I decided to put my advice about securing home networks in this message,
along with password advice.
To secure your home network -
1. Use a firewall - either build one or buy one. Most broadband routers
include a firewall.
2. Configure the firewall to deny all incoming traffic and o
Yeah, OSX doesn't have enough market share to be interesting to bot herders.
Apple iOS and Android may change that but so far the RBN and such haven't
figured out how to make money off them. BTW, don't think OSX or iOS aren't

circumstances use this ladder for CLIMBING."
We ordinary mortals are screwed.
