Shouldn't that chat be encrypted?

Damn! You beat me to it. I had the userpic all ready for it and everything! (And, I didn't have to Google this one, either - no offense mountdfw. I was referring to the truck stop posting from the other day.)

I had to google that.

I wonder where S and A were?

עדי שמיר is probably at at home working at the Weizmann Institute.

Adelman probably stayed home too at USC.

Ron was on a panel with the ACCURATE Electronic Voting Project. "Unnamed" person above did some PhD work with the same group.

Y'know, R & ש are both kinda hawt...

I wonder if there's any crypto-slash...
