+  <short>
+    Between walled gardens, surveillance agencies, and political opponents,
+    no matter who's winning the war on general purpose computing you're
+    losing. The Computer Science Club will be hosting Cory Doctorow's talk
+    in the Theatre of the Arts on October 16.

+      No Matter Who's Winning the  War on General Purpose Computing, You're Losing
+    </p>

+      If cyberwar were a hockey game, it'd be the end of the first period and
+      the score would be tied 500-500. All offense, no defense.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Meanwhile, a horrible convergence has occurred as everyone from car
+      manufacturers to insulin pump makers have adopted the inkjet printer
+      business model, insisting that only their authorized partners can make
+      consumables, software and replacement parts -- with the side-effect of
+      making it a felony to report showstopper, potentially fatal bugs in
+      technology that we live and die by.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      And then there's the FBI and the UK's David Cameron, who've joined in
+      with the NSA and GCHQ in insisting that everyone must be vulnerable to
+      Chinese spies and identity thieves and pervert voyeurs so that the spy
+      agencies will always be able to spy on everyone and everything, everywhere.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      It's been fifteen years since the copyright wars kicked off, and we're
+      still treating the Internet as a glorified video-on-demand service --
+      when we're not treating it as a more perfect pornography distribution
+      system, or a jihadi recruitment tool.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      It's all of those -- and more. Because it's the nervous system of the
+      21st century. We've got to stop treating it like a political football.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      Cory Doctorow will be talking on Friday October 16, 7pm in
+      the Theatre of the Arts. Admission is free, and
+      the talk will be open to the public. Doors open
+      at 6:30pm. Headsets will be provided for the hard of hearing,
+      email Patrick at pj2melan@uwaterloo.ca . The theatre is wheelchair accessible.
+    </p>
