Newsweek Nerd 50

[Bill.Humphries@msn.fullfeed.com (Bill Humphries)]

Okay, while you other cypherpunks were grousing about how you weren't going
to give Newsweek your hard-earned currency, I bought a copy. My pain, your
gain (on a significantly smaller scale than that messiah figure some of us
celebrate next week.)

Cypherpunk Notables on the List: "Newsweek's Epithet"

Phil Zimmerman: "Crypto Creator"

Marc Rotenberg: "Privacy Advocate"

Sameer Parekh: "Protector of Privacy"

Johan Helsingius: "Crusader"

and Steven Levy, who sometimes posts here has the byline on the "Year of
the Net" feature.

PS to Newsweek -- Prof. Hoffman should be called a "Data Goddess" not a
"Geek" for exposing those bogus factors the marketdroids want to use to
control their survey data back up to the population level.

Happy Holidays
Piss off Ralph Reed, Defend the 1st Amendment.
