Re: computer and privacy on all things considered (bay area, 1430, fri)
Fri/1430/Mountain View
just heard NPR/All Things Considered announcement that they're going to do a bit on data privacy. I dunno the freq, right above 88. (Damn analog jam box. :-)

As soon as I read this (and thankfully the toad.com machine was sending stuff through in a timely way), I flicked on KQED (San Francisco), where the NPR report was already underway. The hacker spokesman was, I think, a "Fred Davis." An unimpressive interview, in my opinion. Confusing stuff about how if your computer has "wires going into it, hackers can get in" (paraphrased from the hacker's comments, not the interviewers). Perhaps the time allotted was just too short to make any reasonable points. Those who didn't hear it, didn't miss much. -Tim May -- Timothy C.
