11/8    Don't forget, there's talk on software  election security by one
        of the leaders in the field, Dr. David  Jefferson.  It's tonight
        at 6pm in 306 Soda,
        \_ How long is the talk supposed to run?
           \_ Probably about 1 hour.
        \_ Why is it not held before the election day?
           \_ Basically logistical reasons.  David Jefferson is a busy
              guy, and originally he was going to speak on something
              totally different. We didn't get it all figured out until
              last week, and the room is availible today. -jrleek

        "First you call Amazon and tell them you are the account holder, and
         want to add a credit card number to the account. All you need is the
         name on the account, an associated e-mail address, and the billing

4/19    My Firefox 3.6.28 pops up a Software Update box that reads "Your
        version of Firefox will soon be vulnerable to online attacks."  Are

        Firefox?
        \_ Not as such, no, but they're no longer developing this version,
           so if a 3.6.x-targeted hack shows up, you're not going to get
