IF YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT WIPING OUT YOUR PERSONAL DEBT USING BANKRUPTCY YOU BETTER ACT QUICKLY! The New Congress is quickly pushing through legislation that will make it drastically MORE DIFFICULT for the average, hardworking American to get a 'fresh start' in life by eliminating their debt using personal bankruptcy Click Below To Learn More: http://www.optinmail.cc/clickthrough/clickthrough.php?id=3 AOL USERS: <a href="http://www.optinmail.cc/clickthrough/clickthrough.php?id=3">Click Below To Learn More</a> A large portion of the people who now qualify to have their debt completely eliminated in a chapter 7 bankruptcy will be FORCED to pay back all or a portion of their debt over several years. This drastic change signifies what could be your last chance to get a FRESH START under the currently FAVORABLE bankruptcy laws. You still have time to file before the new law passes, but you should act quickly! This informative article will help you determine whether personal bankruptcy is the best decision for you and save you thousands of dollars in AVOIDING lawyer fees.

Bruce Ennis, Seth Finkelstein, and Stephanie Perrin win EFF Awards
by Matthew Gaylor 06 Mar '01

06 Mar '01

[Note from Matthew Gaylor: Seth Finkelstein is to be congratulated. I've probably traded thousands of messages with him over the years, sometimes pugnaciously, but Seth has worked doggedly and effectively against filtering [censorware] software blacklists that ban free access to information. Seth's an extremely bright fellow with degrees from MIT and was a finalist during his high school years for White-Westinghouse's National Science Fair. Again, let me publicly thank Seth for all of his hard work.- ]

pig latin for RIAA pigs
by Blank Frank 06 Mar '01

Why would I need the Aimster Pig Encoder? As of Sunday March 4, 2001, at midnight, Napster began monitoring the file names that its users put into the Napster database, for the purpose of blocking certain file names. This is a serious invasion of your privacy as a Napster user. The file names on your hard drive are your personal property and should not be monitored by anyone without your permission. The Aimster Pig Encoder makes it more difficult for anyone to monitor the file names on your computer. What does the Aimster Pig Encoder do? The Aimster Pig Encoder is very simple but effective. It takes each of the file names of the mp3 files in your Napster directory and encodes the file names so that the name cannot be easily monitored. What does it mean to "Encode" the file names? The Aimster Pig Encoder encodes the file names by simply changing the words in the file name very slightly. For example, "Music" becomes "usicM", "Hello" becomes "elloH", and you can guess what becomes "uckF ouY, ouY pyS astardsB". http://www.aimster.com/pigencoder.phtml

sssh, pig latin is a trade secret like CSS

Can I tell someone about how the Aimster Pig Encoder works? IMPORTANT WARNING: DO NOT TELL ANYONE how the Aimster Pig Encoder works. Disclosing how the Aimster Pig Encoder works may be a violation of a federal law called the DMCA and subject to up to a $500,000 fine and 5 years in prison! Seriously, we are not joking about this, although we would agree that the situation sounds quite funny (if it wasn't so sad). There is already a similar case in which someone has been found guilty simply for printing an encoder secret on a t-shirt! If anyone asks you how the Aimster Pig Encoder works, tell them to download it and find out for themselves! But won't spies and eavesdroppers just figure out how the Aimster Pig Encoder works and monitor my file names anyway!? Possibly yes, but it won't be nearly as easy. And if they do, they may be violating the same federal law called the DMCA and themselves be subject to up to a $500,000 fine and 5 years in prison! Now that really is funny (and not quite so sad). Peace out. And please check out Aimster at www.aimster.com, if you have a chance. Aimster is the first file and messaging service to give you full encryption over all your messages and files - we think it's one of the best protections for your privacy on the internet available today.

[references!] Why Not debate "network externality"-path dependence?
by Seth Finkelstein 06 Mar '01

It's already been much-debated. It's just hard to find the debate among the quasi-spam of the cult proselytizing: [EH == Economic History] EH.Res: FORUM: Path-dependence http://www.eh.net/lists/eh.res/forum3/ http://www.eh.net/lists/eh.res/forum3/nov/index.html EH.Res: Forum: More on QWERTY http://www.eh.net/lists/eh.res/forum6/index.shtml http://www.eh.net/lists/eh.res/forum6/mar/index.html http://www.eh.net/lists/eh.res/forum6/aug/index.html See particularly an article by one author debunking some L-M "debunking" "I have considerable sympathy with the criticism by L&M that some of the arguments for path dependency have been based "on poorly documented evidence that dissolves upon closer inspection." But their account in JLEO of this particular history is subject to the same critique." http://www.eh.net/lists/eh.res/forum3/nov/0049.html [Richard S. Rosenbloom, Harvard Business School, for credentials] Also: "Path dependence and the quest for historical economics: one more chorus of the ballad of QWERTY by Paul A.

As you appear to be an enthusiast and a wealth of information-it would be greatly appreciated if you could provide any assistance that would help me to do so. Please feel free to contact me at any time. I am also looking for 3 G21 (13 round) .45 magazines. Your time and consideration is greatly appreciated. Bradley J.
