- It must be a slow month for computer news, if all the EFF can find to do
- is republish Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience," close on the heels of the
- much-less-funny-than-its-author-thought "Bill o' Rights".
-
- I thought the EFF was supposed to be a pool of computer-ethics expertise,
- i.e., an organization of concerned people who have thought long and hard
- about the ethical and social aspects of computing, and who have the
- technical expertise to back up what they're saying.
-
- The last two EFFectors look more like nostalgia for 1960s radicals.
- Please, folks, let's get back on topic before we lose all credibility.
