>unmonitored is rather like saying that Osama bin Laden is only running terrorism >training camps, producing snazzy recruitment videos, publishing terrorism So you agree, then, that tax-paying US subjects are bona fide targets because they shelter and support US-based men with guns ("government") that killed more (per capita) than any other gang ? And, agent Gordon, if you continue to use "we" someone could get irritated enough to snuff someone. You may use "we" only when in company of exclusively government-paid goons. There are few on this list left which are not.

Public Notice - PGP Key Repudiation: 447E12E7
by measl＠mfn.org 25 Nov '01

25 Nov '01

Greetings, While looking for an old revoked key id on pgpkeys.mit.edu I found a [1 month old] key with my email address and name falsely associated with it. THIS KEY WAS _NOT_ GENERATED BY ME, DOES NOT BELONG TO ME, IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH ME IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM, AND IS HEREBY FORMALLY AND COMPLETELY REPUDIATED. pub 1024/447E12E7 2001/10/23 Jerry A. Terranson <measl(a)mfn.org> Key fingerprint = 0D 37 8F F5 95 FD 02 DF B7 CB DE DD 25 0B 90 73 44 7E 12 E7 -- Yours, J.A. Terranson sysadmin(a)mfn.org If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they should give serious consideration towards setting a better example: Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate... This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers, associates, or others. Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the first place... --------------------------------------------------------------------

Try It BEFORE You Buy It!
by Aljosa Lavrinsek 25 Nov '01

Free Post Launch! There are a number important factors that increase the chances of any net worker becoming successful. The most important of which is the momentum and excitement of actively sponsoring new members. How would you like to know that you have an existing downline and team in place to continue to help you develop a network BEFORE you ever sign up or invest a penny? With our Post Launch program you can! A Post Launch is similar to a Pre Launch with two main differences. A Post Launch places a large group of excited individuals into an established Marketing program instead of a Marketing plan that may only be testing the waters (80% of new MLM's go defunct in the first year of business). Secondly, our program uses a new TEAM concept to help you to build a network. There is absolutely no risk to get involved and no cost to join Post Launch. For more information go to: http://www.geocities.com/perfect_step_h/ Aljosa Lavrinsek (this is global) You have nothing to lose and potentially a lot to gain! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------- If you are no longer interested in receiving email from me, please click the reply and type remove in the subject box and your wishes will be honored.

Thank you for posting these John. I am about 1/2 way through them, and I am struck by how crude the "computer forensic" examinations are (see part 2, around page 270). The government examiners seem to have very little understanding how a computer actually works, but instead, rely on "out box" and "in box" and O/S time stamps, etc. There seems to be no understanding by Leen either, and I would have thought Bell would be trying to make him understand while this persecution was progressing. Since when is an examination a thourough one without a sector by sector and bit by bit combing? And since when has an O/S time stamp become trustworthy? While it is obvious from the transcripts that Tanner was more than a little biased in favor of the prosecution, it sure looks like Bell did his fair share to insure a conviction.

Robert Morris, IBM Almaden Research * Autonomic Computing * W4:15 Gates B03

25 Nov '01

Computer Systems Laboratory Colloquium 4:15PM, Wednesday, November 28, 2001 NEC Auditorium, Gates Computer Science Building B03 For additional information consult http://www.stanford.edu/class/ee380 Title: Autonomic Computing Speaker: Robert Morris Director, IBM Almaden Research Center About the talk: The information technology boom can only explode for so long before it collapses on itself in a jumble of wires, buttons and knobs. IBM recently called on all researchers and industry members to attack the growing problem of complexity in IT by building more self-managing systems, and in creating a holistic approach to simplification of all aspects of these systems. The goal is to reduce maintenance, improve availability and ease-of-use, and lower costs. The human body's self-regulating nervous system presents an excellent model for creating the next generation of computing, autonomic computing. Robert Morris, Director of IBM's Almaden research Center in San Jose, will describe the motivation for this effort and some of the projects and results being undertaken at IBM. To succeed, this vision of an IT infrastructure will require the participation of IT researchers and developers throughout industry, government and academia. To read more about autonomic computing, see http://www.research.ibm.com/autonomic/manifesto/ About the speaker: Dr. Robert Morris is Director of IBM's Almaden Research Center, IBM's second largest research lab. The Almaden lab is focussed on a wide range of basic and applied research and was responsible for the development of the disk drive and the relational database. Today, research there spans from atoms to humans, i.e., from nanotechnology and individual atom manipulation, through hardware and system development and a large computer science lab, to human interface research. Robert has been the director there for two years, previously he was at IBM Watson Research center (responsible for advanced systems research, including personal systems, the Deep Blue chess project, etc). Before that he was a researcher in storage and data management at Almaden and, prior to 1991, at Bell Labs. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and a Member of IBM's Academy of Technology.

Re: Pricing Mojo, Integrating PGP, TAZ, and D.C. Cypherpunks

Greg Broiles writes: > And that problem seems to be at the center of Nomen Nescio's sotto voce > suggestion that some unnamed cypherpunks work up a currency which can be > used to "pay" people for providing information which is of value - It's not a matter of unnamed cypherpunks doing a favor, but rather a proposal offered to see if there is support. If a few people spoke up with agreement that such an effort were worth doing, the next step would be to put together a project, perhaps on sourceforge, and get some code into play. But if you run the flag up and no one salutes, then you should wait for a better idea. > I get > the impression that s/he is imagining some magic fairy would mint up piles > of the currency, and assign it equally to every subscriber, who would then > be empowered to pay it to the content providers they liked best. > > That's very warm and fuzzy and hippy-like, but if these tokens are handed > out for free, then what, exactly, is their value? This is the problem of initial distribution. Ideally there would be some way to give every person a fixed initial allocation, but in practice this will allow people to create new identities ("nyms") and get more than their share. It seemed that part of MojoNation's reason for backing away from mojo-as-money was the problem of fairly giving an initial allocation. Here's an idea which has been proposed before: use hashcash to purchase e-coins. Hashcash is a hash collision generated by a certain number of standard CPU hours of work. To enter into the ecash economy you could generate hashcash and send it to the server, getting ecash in exchange. Ecash is more suitable than hashcash as a form of currency as it can be transferred and exchanged at the bank with little effort or expense. But the problem is acquiring the initial ecash without the overwhelming inflation that Greg Broiles implicitly warns against. By basing ecash on hashcash which involves a significant expense to generate, you avoid inflation. In this system, the ecash "bank" would not be a bank at all. It would have two functions: give out some ecash given hashcash; and give out some (fresh) ecash given other ecash. The latter would use the double spending database and all that. If you received some ecash as payment you would immediately exchange it at the bank which will simultaneously verify that the cash is good and give you fresh coins for later spending. The ecash server is simply an exchanger. These are serious proposals. With Ben Laurie's lucre library and a berkeley db for the double spending database, a basic server could be put together in a few hours' work. Adam Back's hashcash software can be used as a client to generate the initial requests. The basic pieces are all here, no magic fairies required. The main question is again whether there exists an initial market which could be enticed into trying out this package on an experimental basis.

This is advertising, so we will keep it short. ---------------------------------- DOWNLOAD YOUR OWN CONCRETE eSLIDE RULE "How many Software engineers does it take to screw in a light bulb? - None, it is a hardware problem!" Being a former Civil Engineer, I was never too far from dirt, stone, concrete, and rebar. Somewhere along the line, I transitioned into the CLEAN environment of electrical engineering, and eventually the STERILE environment of computers. Now I've worked with some very good computer people, but I must say there is a certain "gulf" between the computer screen and my former occupation. Perhaps that gulf is where all those dot-coms got lost ;>) I find myself trying to fill that gulf, with something a little more... well... concrete. Well, at any rate, here is my offering. We have this really cool concrete SoftSlide at: http://www.softslide.com/volumes/v4/t5/p1/page.htm. Try it for free, and if you want a custom one for your company - let me know. We do them up on custom printed mini-CDs, or as a download from your site. We are the only ones who make these - we invented them. And you are one of about 200 people we mailed this message to.
