MojoNation has great promise. It's a nuts and bolts attempt to put the
old cypherpunk ideas into action: micropayments for data transfers,

There seems to be a widespread misconception that "peer review" refers
to a process in which the material to be reviewed is thrown open to
the public. In fact the term is more restrictive and means a review by
a small number of selected experts in the field. Here is a description

It took some three years for the Echelon story to migrate from cpunks-like
forums (obscure & irrelevant due to low exposure) to mainstream media
[which probably means that Echelon itself has been abandoned and its
