The defense techniques employed by large software manufacturers are getting better. This is particularly true of Microsoft who have improved the security of the software they make tremendously since their Trustworthy Computing initiative.

On January 1st, 2002 I tried to use the website of the Dutch national railway (www.ns.nl) using Linux. The site refused me access, it was IE-only. This sparked a conversation with members of parliament about the need for open standards. Over a five year period I progressed from talking to opposition-MP's to meeting the economics minister directly and was able to significantly influence national po...

Following "Chaos und Kritische Theorie" from 23C3, another verbal battle: Oona Leganovic (aka Ijon Tichy) will promote the idea to sublate the capital relation and bring about communism first and only then to go to Space, because otherwise the earthly problems will be spread everywhere. Daniel Kulla (impersonating Captain Kathryn Janeway) will, on the other hand, defend the exploration humanism th...
