Greetings.

Jewish date:  11 Tishri 5771.

Today’s quasi-holiday:  International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Worthy causes of the day:  “Don't Build the Belo Monte Dam! - The Petition Site” and “Protect the Paradise Forests and the Orangutan - The Petition Site”.

Today’s news and commentary:

• Relevant to today’s quasi-holiday:  “Pirates Need Science, Too”
• “Password advice from the father of the firewall”
• “HDCP Master Key Confirmed; Blu-ray Content Vulnerable”:  It was only a matter of time.  Any content that can be read can be cracked.

Today’s weird thing is “Periodic table”, which describes a picnic table in the shape of a period table.  Enjoy and share the weirdness.
