dutch take strong stance on software-patents
by Tom 19 Feb '01

19 Feb '01

the dutch parliament members have made a decision today that software-patents in the netherlands shall either remain banned, and the law be cleared up in this respect, or subject to a scrutiny that shall be strict enough to eliminate most of the 30,000 "garbage patents" (as the meeting report calls it!) currently granted by the european patent office.

the punks mentioned in The Atlantic
by sparky 19 Feb '01

"In 1992, inspired by his example, a band of mathematicians, computer scientists, and software engineers based primarily in the San Francisco area began to discuss ways to defend personal privacy in the computer age. They were brought together by an intense ideological commitment to privacy and free speech, and by an anarchistic mistrust of government and big business. They dedicated themselves to creating and widely disseminating the best cryptography possible, for all to use. They called themselves the Cypherpunks." The article is mainly about the burgeoning privacy business, interviews with folks from Zero Knowledge and such.

PGP on Debian
by Strange Attractor 18 Feb '01

18 Feb '01

I currently use PGP 7.0 (w/Win2k) on my main system. At present I have some of my mails routed to a Debian server running SSH with no POPMail support. Hacktic.nl has command line linux PGP source, but the .tar appears to be corrupted. I've also noticed a number of differing PGP/Pine programs, but I'm unclear as to what the current version is (there are .tar files available for "PGP4PINE" up to 1.56, but then another file is listed as PGPPINE5 in the same directory. Any suggestions on what I can use given Debian/Pine parameters? Strange Attractor
