We are living a fantasy when we expect the government (who ever/what ever it's supposed to be) not to dictate our lives when we live in fear of retaliation for not paying our big brother royalties by way of taxes; not to mention there are undisclosed means of taxation. But let's not worry so much of differences in power, for the poor and peace makers will inherit the world. -somewhere in the Bible- Jim Choate <ravage(a)ssz.com> wrote: > > > On Mon, 12 Feb 2001, Aimee Farr wrote: > > > First, I like to think the 1st Amendment includes the right to _receive_ > > anonymously, as well as send/publish -- which implicates anonymous digital > > cash. > > This seems to hinge on two points.

FC01 E-Voting Panel Description
by Paul Syverson 12 Feb '01

==================================================================== Panel: The Business of Electronic Voting Place: Financial Cryptography 2001, Grand Cayman, Feb 21st, 2001 10:40 AM. Panel Chair: Moti Yung, CertCo Panelists: Ed Gerck, safevote.com Andy Neff, VoteHere.net Ron Rivest, MIT Avi Rubin, AT&T research Abstract: This panel will concentrate on the emerging business of e-voting. The problems associated with traditional voting machines in a national election---their unreliability, inaccuracy and other potential hazards---were placed in an international limelight by the last US presidential election. At the same time, but less conspicuously, an industry centered around e-voting has started to emerge, offering various solutions for national, boardroom, company-wide, and other sorts of elections. Indeed, the cryptographic research community has dealt with issues related to security and robustness of e-voting as a fundamental protocol problem. In contrast, this panel will discuss issues regarding the real-life aspects of actual implementations of voting systems. We will discuss basic requirements and problems associated with the reality of election technology and the business built around it, covering issues of reliability, fairness, and scalability, and asking such questions as: Does one solution fit all situations? How much security is actually required? Is e-voting for real? How far are we from ``real'' voting? Is the Internet the right arena for voting? What is the interaction between the technology and its quality and the business? Is it a business at all? (Is there money to be made, and how? Alternatively: does e-voting really belong in ``financial cryptography''?) What are the social and legal implications of e-voting? We hope to learn about new angles to examine voting problems, to learn about related burning issues of all kinds (social, business, technology), and to learn about new questions for further basic, systems, market, legal or social research. ==================================================================== --- end forwarded text -- ----------------- R.

Let's just say that there's a little tale about a drug bust, some go-go boots and a piercing.... http://www.comedyontap.com/daily SPORTSHOLLYWOOD EXCLUSIVE: Kathryn Hancock is possibly the most beautiful woman ever interviewed by SportsHollywood, and definitely the first who could have knocked us on our behinds in a game of backyard football. Kathryn, who will be debuting in the soap opera PASSIONS in March, grew up in South Carolina as the only girl on her street who'd play football with the boys. With Kathryn to tackle you can understand why football is so popular in that area. See her at: http://www.sportshollywood.com/askkathryn.html BASKETBALL Calling the financial situation unfair to owner Michael Heisley, NBA commissioner David Stern gave the Vaqncouver Grizzlies permission to explore a move to another city. St. Louis, New Orleans and Nashville, Tenn., have been mentioned as possible destinations for the team... ... Those cities all want professional basketball teams... but they might take the Grizzlies, instead... BASEBALL Robert Person of the Philadelphia Phillies was hogtied by police, who said the enraged pitcher tried to kick out the windows of a police car after his arrest in city's nightclub district... ... He shouldn't have tried the high kick - he should have tried escaping out of the stretch... TENNIS Sunday's episode of "The Simpsons" featured tennis stars Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, Venus Williams and Serena Williams... ... My favorite character on the show was the bald one with the yellow complexion - not Homer, I mean Agassi... ANNA KOURNIKOVA'S BACK! http://www.comedyontap.com/dailyhump/annak1.htm XFL The XFL wasn't as big a turn-on in Week 2, as the football league drew only half as many viewers as it did for the debut broadcast on NBC... ... Pretty soon it'll be the ex-XFL... The XFL's Memphis Maniax aren't changing their name despite criticism that it is a slap at the mentally ill. The president of the National Mental Health Association says, "The name Maniax is demeaning to Americans who are affected by mental illness each year." The Maniax are one of eight teams in the XFL, the new football league owed by the World Wrestling Federation and NBC... ... They really should change the name to avoid offending the majority of their viewers... THIS WEEK IN SPORTS HISTORY In 1999, the San Diego Padres announced that country music star Garth Brooks would attend spring training as a non-roster player... ... Talk about a screwed up organization - they had Garth Brooks playing outfield while Roseanne sang the National Anthem... In 2000, Tom Landry, the stoic, expressionless Dallas Cowboys coach who wore a business suit and fedora and led America's Team to five Super Bowls, died... ... How could they tell...? PENALTY BOX In Florida, O.J. Simpson surrendered to authorities to face charges that he during a road-rage argument in December. Simpson is charged with burglary of a car and misdemeanor battery of motorist Jeffrey Pattinson... ... You'd think OJ would have learned by now not to cut in front of anybody... For the entire Offensive Line: http://www.sportshollywood.com/shnews.html Akili Smith, the Cincinnati Bengals' second-year quarterback, was arrested in San Diego Sunday for investigation of drunken driving. Smith was pulled over for driving the wrong way down a one-way street. He told officers he was looking for friends... ... You know, where everybody knows your name... YOU'RE OUT: "I'll be back." -Heavyweight boxer Peter McNeeley, five days after being pummeled in his fight with Mike Tyson.
