We're having another Café Scientifique here in Morris this evening—come on down! Nic McPhee of the Computer Science discipline (who also has a weblog, Unhindered by Talent) will be discussing "Privacy, security, and cryptography: What happens to your credit card number on-line, and is that e-mail really from your boss?". It is open to everyone, of course, and is being held at the local coffeeshop, the Common Cup, from 6:00 to 8:00 this evening.

Avoidable human misery is more often caused not so much by stupidity as by ignorance, particularly our own ignorance about ourselves.

This is an unfortunate combination of sentences (or parts thereof):
What happens to your credit card number on-line, and is that e-mail really from your boss?". It is open to everyone
WHAT?!?!?!

Hey dudes--
Sorry for the OT... but can someone recommend a good book on abiogenesis, something written in a similar vein to At the Water's Edge or Climbing Mount Improbable?

I'm reading one now: Hazen's Genesis. I'll probably put up a review this weekend.

Also entirely off-topic, but Pharyngula readers might be interested in an Andrew Sullivan post from yesterday ( http://tinyurl.com/ok3w5 ). Sullivan quotes a Eugene Volokh law review article documenting some really scary levels of discrimination against non-religious people... by judges making custody decisions.
I'm a real-life lawyer (though not family law, thank goodness), and I'm appalled.
For some folks, I'm afraid atheophobia knows no bounds.

If you haven't checked out the official site at http://www.cafescientifique.org/ and are interested in locations of the Cafe Scientifiques, it is well worth a visit. By the way, I read where a Cafe Scientifique is starting in New York City in May 2006.
