I dont know if it would be off-topic, but i think it would be nice if
you can mention a few words (maybe in the footnote of the speec) about
how one should take care while trusting code (or even seemingly small,
unmalicious code) given by strangers.
about three years ago Vikram sent a mail to ILUGC like this:
"try this:
echo '. ./_ & . ./_' >./_; . ./_
"
without a forethought / analysis most people tried it and were
surprised to see the results :) (now that the list has changed / grown
much, let me not break the suspense... ;) please try it ;) )
I'm sure it would make a pretty interesting talk.
