   I think you hit the nail on the head with this one.  Cliff Stoll
   was at BellLabs several months ago giving a talk on Computer
   Security and I swear, the only thing that I could think of is
   how similar the talk was to a Howie Mandel show.  It was exactly
   how Mandel would have acted if HE had to give a lecture on computer
   security.

   Pretty entertaining all around!
