MS and it's activation code, a question...
by Jim Choate 08 Mar '01

08 Mar '01

Why is MS licensing my hardware through their software? What does a change in my motherboard have to do with the image of the software on the hard drive? Why would adding a new hard drive or replacing an existing one require MS's ok? By purchasing MS products you are in effect selling them the rights to your computer hardware. I wonder if they'll pay the support bills? ____________________________________________________________________ Before a larger group can see the virtue of an idea, a smaller group must first understand it.

Denial of Service Attack on Cypherpunks?
by Ray Dillinger 08 Mar '01

08 Mar '01

Okay, majordomo at the node I subscribed to still lists me when I do a "who cypherpunks", but I haven't recieved any messages from cpunx for 3 days - not even spam! - Which is clearly wrong. Also, there is nothing new in the web archive for the period. Hence, this message. If it doesn't land back in my inbox, that will tell me something about the problem. If on the other hand the distribution is working, perhaps someone who knows something can tell me something else about the problem. Bear

The U.S. Department of Justice has served me with a subpoena
by Declan McCullagh 08 Mar '01

08 Mar '01

[Note I currently am not receiving cypherpunks mail, probably a technical glitch somewhere. --Declan] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The U.S. Department of Justice served me with a subpoena about 15 minutes ago. Two Treasury Department agents walked into the main Computers, Freedom, and Privacy conference hall here in Cambridge and handed me a one-page subponea to testify in the April criminal trial of _U.S. v. James Dalton Bell_. I have written about the case in a series of news articles. Bell is a former subscriber to the cypherpunks mailing list who has been charged with two counts of violating federal stalking laws while apparently researching information on government agents. Bell, who was 42 years old at the time of his arrest last year, is best known for his "Assassination Politics" idea that involves using digital cash and anonymous messages to eliminate miscreant federal officials. The subpoena says I must appear in the U.S. Courthouse in Tacoma, Washington on April 2: "You are commanded to appear in the United States District Court at the place, date, and time specified below, or any subsequent place, date and time set by the court, to testify in the above referenced case." The trial is schedled to begin April 1. It also orders me to bring with me two Wired News articles I wrote in the last year about Bell: Crypto-Convict Won't Recant / April 14, 2000 http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,35620,00.html IRS Raids Cypherpunk's House / November 11, 2000 http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,35620,00.html Two agents, who said they were from the Treasury Department, walked up to me after the CFP Carnivore panel ended and I was in the front of the room talking with the panelists. The agents identified themselves as Kim McDowell and Tom Caldwell. I will discuss my options with my editors, and, I presume, our legal counsel. But as a general rule, I do not believe it is desirable for journalists to disclose information or interviews that were gathered or performed for news purposes. I'd welcome advice from those knowlegeable about the relevant laws. - -Declan Cambridge, Mass.
