    Strange....

    That this is posted the same day as the news that Bletchley Park is to receive a Government grant. Is El Reg counting on the news to help sales ( and yes I just added this to my Xmas List)

    I thought geeks were

    those geese on sentry duty during Roman Empire times, they would act as surveillance systems, squawking at any intruders.

    Point is any technology can be used as a weapon, all weapons are tools, so I suppose the German 'Geeks' were outsmarted by the British 'Geeks', but then again the victor gets to the write the history books don't they.

    Which is why French history books are blank.

    eBook version plz?

    Looks very interesting. I'll buy it when there's a DRM-free ebook version. Sony format preferred.

    Infamous?

    How is cracking the Enigma Code using an early programmable computer a bad thing?

    I think someone needs to add a dictionary to their list also!
