We're back...

Hi, Well after a couple of days down time we're back. Seems my providers machine room got a tad wet from somebody dumping a water main into it (perhaps somebody wanted to go swimming?). Seems it's gonna run in the $5M range for repairs and such after they're all done. -- ____________________________________________________________________ Day by day the Penguins are making me lose my mind.

Have any of the shootingpunks on the list heard of constructing a firearm from something akin to a internal combustion chamber?

guns, encryption, ID, biometrics, document authentication, unswipable CA drivers licenses
by Alfred Qaeda 05 Dec '01

Learned the following today: starting soon --Jan 2002 IIRC-- you can't use an unswipable drivers license to buy a gun in CA. When asked, the <gunstore> employee said there was encrypted info on them that was harder to forge than the holograph-laminated front. When I said that the licenses could be read with a regular cardreader and that info could be forged, he suggested it was the newer license (with two pictures vs 1 and an optical bar code too). He suggested that the "encrypted info" was harder to forge than the laminated front. This would be possible if the front info was securely hashed with a secret key. Anyone have more info? Good citizens are curious if they did this right, and what all the bits on the strip mean. So monkeywrenching the magstrip will impair your constitutional rights. A replacement license is $12; perhaps a good citizen needs a spare. In any case Govn'or Slime Davis signed a law requiring fingerprints in a year or two. I bet they'll be taking hair samples or cheek scrapings in five years.

Fwd: Russian Manifesto, long and probably useless
by mattd 05 Dec '01

tim Quoted... "How we burned in the prison camps later thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive?" --Alexander Solzhenitzyn, Gulag Archipelago End. AS: excellent writer also christian,social conservative. Bakunin was deported to Siberia. He spent many years amid the horrors of penal servitude, but his spirit was unvanquished. He finally succeeded in escaping and walking eastward over a thousand miles, under extreme hardship, and at last reached the sea and obtained passage to Japan. From there he sailed to California, thence to New York, and in 1860 appeared in London. He had suffered innumerable hardships and adventures, had mixed with all sorts and conditions of men, from the rulers of Europe to the wild hairy Ainus, and had everywhere found that government was tyranny. If you'd like some quotes from an anarchist tim,Ill see what I can do. matts wild hairy anus.

"US Government advisor Richard Clarke says software companies should distribute patches that automatically update customers' computers." http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_466189.html?menu= Experts reject call for automated virus protection Anti-virus experts have rejected a US government call for automated software patches to combat computer viruses. Sophos says calls for software vendors to do more are out of touch with typical users' requirements. They point out that many customers would reject anything that undermines their sovereignty over their computer systems. US Government advisor Richard Clarke says software companies should distribute patches that automatically update customers' computers. But Sophos says the idea betrays a lack of understanding of how anti-virus software already operates. "Most anti-virus vendors give their customers the option of automating updates, but some businesses are reticent about outsourcing crucial security measures," explained senior technology consultant Graham Cluley. "For peace of mind they'd rather implement their own updates to ensure they work properly for their environment." Mr Clarke's comments came amidst a fresh virus outbreak. Goner is an email-disseminating worm that purports to be a screensaver. Story filed: 17:35 Wednesday 5th December 2001
