Fwd: cyberspace, congressional hearings
by fen＠genmagic.genmagic.com 09 Mar '93

09 Mar '93

> Date: Mon, 8 Mar 1993 17:51:38 -0800 > From: Bruce Smith <bruce(a)wri.com> > Subject: cyberspace, congressional hearings The following is quoted/paraphrased from a column by Brian Robinson on page 26 of the 1 March 93 Electronic Engineering Times. By passing it on I imply no specific attitude of my own. I don't know the date of the hearings, but if someone finds out if/when it will be viewable on C-Span, I'd like to know. Feel free to pass the following info to individuals, mailing lists, or newsgroups. --- The House Telecommunications Subcommittee, chaired by Edward Markey (D-Mass), will soon be holding hearings on the relationship of future communications technologies to modern culture. In particular, it will be looking at the not-so-far-off universe of cyberspace. Some of the issues the panel will be considering are (in Markey's own words): + Are the fundamental values of our society so universal and enduring that they will not be threatened by the advent of new technologies or any new subcultures such technologies produce? + Will cyberspace instead become some lawless place, where the Constitution is cracked open by fiber fissures created when trying to convert a 200-year-old parchment document into a binary world of 0s and 1s? Can it continue to be a "living, breathing document"? + Will cyberspace develop its own distinct laws? Will it develop "digital vigilantes" to patrol and police the electronic bulletin boards and electronic highways?

zip version for pgp2.2?
by pfarrell＠gmuvax2.gmu.edu 09 Mar '93

09 Mar '93

I just downloaded pgp22.zip from soda, and pkunzip complains about every file having a bad checksum. I'm still using pkunzip 1.1, and I know that pgp20 had problems with some versions of pkunzip. Do I need to get pkunzip 2.04g? Thanks Pat

PGP: MacPGP v2.2 is GO!
by deltorto＠aol.com 09 Mar '93

09 Mar '93

Gang, Thanks to the efforts of Phil Zimmerman, Zbigniew "Zig" Fiedorowicz and the pgp.dev group, there is a new Macintosh PGP v2.2 (MacPGP) available to the public FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. The version number is v2.2 b91. This is the nicest version I have seen yet, replete with sexy interface features (well, sorta, anyway), well-organized menus and stable operation FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. I will demo it to anyone who wants to see it at the CFP 93 conference. Contact me about getting it for your Mac FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. The best way to do this is mail me at <deltorto(a)aol.com> and give me your CompuServe, AppleLink or America Online address so I can send it to you intact (& compressed) FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. Please indicate: -1- Your favorite compression scheme. Compactor Pro StuffIt DiskDoubler (my fave) I can also send it as a self-expanding archive. -2- If this is a _new_ installation, in which case I'll include some docs and the randseed.bin and config.txt files along with the app. -3- Clearly that you intend to use it FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. d2t

Need telnet access
by ronin＠pinetree.org 09 Mar '93

09 Mar '93

Hi there. This is Doug - I'm subscribed to the list as dsinclai(a)acs.ucalgary.ca. Unfortuantely, though my account is in Calgary, I'm flesh in Ottawa. I also just lost my telnet access as a local switch upped its security. Is anyone out there in a position to lend a fellow cypherpunk a hand and get me a telnet account in Ottawa? It would be much appreciated. Please reply to this account. Thanks. --- "In the instant of putting Gunhead through the Schonbrunn's locked-and-armed Benedict Canyon gate, Rydell had experienced a fleeting awareness of something very high, very pure, and quite clinically _empty_;" -- William Gibson, _Virtual Light_, yet to be released.

LISTBIZ: metaprefixes update
by internaut＠aol.com 08 Mar '93

08 Mar '93

Hi everybody! A REMINDER: In the interest of making the LARGE volume of Cypherpunks list mail a bit easier to parse visually, we have taken to adding metaprefixes to our subject fields. Although this is optional, you may find that many of us ignore your postings if you don't use some sort of mechanism to help us know what you're posting about. Several people are automating their mail readers to put your postings in "boxes" that they want to follow, so please pick up on this habit - thanks! :) Some sample metaprefixes: ANON: Anoymity/Pseudonymity CENSOR: Cryptography & Censorship DCASH: Digital Money, Digital Banking DCNET: Dining Cryptographer Nets FWEE!: Whistleblower Project LISTBIZ: General Cypherpunk list business MTGS: Physical Meetings/Conferences (e.g. CFP, etc.) OPIN: Personal Opinions PGP: PGP App/Current Availability on FTP, etc. RANDOM: Random Generators REMAIL: Remailer technology, Problem reports (this is probably not a complete listing, but it's MOST of 'em) Collect 'em all! Trade 'em with your friends! Feel free to create your own if the topic of your mail does not fall into one of these logical cubbyholes. d2t
