Opinion: Rethinking legal privacy framework: a call to arms,
06/06/05

Opinion: The end of poetic license, 06/06/05

Gimmicks usually go away, however, and such is the case here
with the haiku. What's truly surprising, though, is that Habeas
hasn't gone away with it ... and doesn't appear headed anywhere
but up anytime soon.

Opinion: Defending the castle, 06/06/05

There's nothing like having a flaming pig hurled over the wall
to get your attention - medieval kings and lords quickly changed
their defensive plans and took the battle to the field. Today's
environment is more akin to a hand-to-hand battle, with the good
guys and bad guys intermixed, and you need new approaches to
adequately defend against that.
