Controversial Technology
Hi Jack,
I have removed your subscription to the Experimental Science Instrumentation
mailing list.
I would however like to point out that security through obscurity (ie
ignorance) is not security. It is self-delusion. One can not protect them
selves reliably from the many consequences of technology and society via
ignorance. That which you don't know not only can hurt you but can kill you.
