Meet us on Wine Alley

Hello! I found your address on a site about wine, food and good living. I thought that you will be interested by the services that our site offers. www.wine-alley.com is a virtual Club for all those interested in wine in both a professional and personal capacity. We now have more than 3900 members, both amateur and in the trade who use our site to discuss wine, buy and sell it and tell us about the best sources. Club members use the Newsgroup of www.wine-alley.com to exchange information and experiences. Only the other day someone asked how much a certain rare wine was worth, I asked for more information about the grape variety, which doesn't grow in France. Currently there have been more than 717 questions and replies. There is also the small ads. column. Among the 7 adverts placed this week there have been some really good deals including a magnum of 1945 Pichon Lalande and a 1947 Cheval blanc! Let me make it clear - www.wine-alley.com itself does not sell or buy wine: we simply offer our members the facilites for making their own arrangements. www.wine-alley.com is also a site supplying information in real time, particularly the latest news from winegrowers and makers via the French Press Agency (AFP). We also have a database of more than 21,000 wines with information supplied directly to the site by winegrowers co-operatives and specialist magazines. I should be delighted if you would come and join us. At www.wine-alley.com you will find similarly-minded people who just want to share their love of wine. Kind regards Frangois Xavier Bodin, Manager of the Online Club fx.bodin(a)winealley.com PS. Registering with the www.wine-alley.com club is absolutely free and commits you to nothing. If you are not interested in my offer, please excuse this letter; I am sorry to have bothered you. To prevent further unwanted intrusions please click on the following link, your email will be automatically removed from our list. http://www.wine-alley.com/wines/desmail.asp?id=307954&l=uk

Real howler from Wired News: Germany's Kampf Furor Renews by Steve Kettmann 2:00 a.m. Dec. 1, 2000 PST BERLIN -- News this week that a Munich state prosecutor was investigating allegations that Yahoo Deutschland had sold copies of Mein Kampf could help build momentum in Germany for more sweeping restrictions on such material.... http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,40430,00.html Attention Germans. It is trivially easy to buy a book that your keepers don't want you to buy. Click here to search the best used book met search engine to find copies of Mein Kampf: http://used.addall.com/SuperRare/submitRare.cgi?order=TITLE&ordering=ASC&au… You will currently find some 330 copies (minus dupes) for sale at various used book stores in the US. You are guaranteed to find one willing to ship you a copy. DCF Johnny had four truckloads of plutonium. Johnny used four truckloads of plutonium to light New York City for a year.

Oh, and the proposed KYC rules would have required banks to go further than requiring ID (other current rules, as you say, require that) and try to determine source of funds, etc. -Declan >You're thinking of something slightly different.

James Donald replied: > Payee traceability made it possible to close accounts related to > pornography. Ecash is not truly cash like if the issuer can prevent it > from being used by tax evaders, child pornographers, money launderers and > terrorists. Payee traceability had nothing to do with it. Every customer of MTB, whether an end user or a merchant, had to fully identify himself to the bank, including SSN and for merchants, type of business, etc. This is SOP for other payment systems like credit cards. It was on this basis that MTB was able to screen their merchants. No payee tracing was necessary. A fully untraceable cash system would have been equally amenable to merchant screening. Any vendor has the right to control whom it does business with, and MTB chose to exercise its discretion in this way. The Texas couple in the news recently made a different choice and decided to provide payment services for child pornographers, as James Donald recommends. Now MTB is still in business (after merging with MTL and then FSR) and the Texans are in jail. Which made a better choice?

There's also a Linux port, if you want to kid yourself that you're going to check the OS security yourself.

The device has extension ports that allow PCMCIA and Compact Flash. These adapters are in the $50 range. There are wireless modems available but they're fairly pricey : ~$350 for the modem, $50.month for the service. All in all it looks pretty good. Schematics/specs open, Linux/X already ported. The specs are reasonable ( unlike Palm ) it's a 206MHz ARM9, USB, Audio, 320x240x12bit display, 16Mb FLASH, 32Mb DRAM if I recall correctly. Throw in a 512Mb IBM microdrive, CFS, it's not bad. Looks like the most secure option to me. Gateway SW over USB ( even for M$ OS ) shouldn't be too tough. I guess you could trust an M$ machine to handle already encrypted packets.
