I just saw the best thing I've ever seen on computers.
This week's NOVA tells the true story of how a little astronomer
at Berkeley stumbled upon an act of computer spying that involved
the military, the CIA and the FBI. The whole thing began with
what appeared to be a 75-cent computer accounting error.
The narrative is straightforward and whimsical, and totally gripping.
It gets extremely emotional at the end. I AM SPEECHLESS, YOU WILL
WATCH THIS. OH MY GOD, YOU THOUGHT NOVA WAS BORING?
IF you have any interesting notes about this story, please send.
Note: it was on San Fran's channel 9 tonight (Tue 4/23) and will be
on again Wed midnight, does anyone know when else here?
