Just acquiring the raw materials would probably draw unwanted attention and give the fascists enough grist to prove intent. Intent for whatever they feel like charging you with, that is. I think they want a monopoly on research and technology even remotely related to warfare.

encrypting netcat 1.10
by Pawel Krawczyk 06 Jun '01

06 Jun '01

I've added a trivial RC4 encryption support for popular Netcat 1.10. It works like this: $ ./nc -l -k dupa-20 -p 12345 >received.txt & $ ./nc -vv -k dupa-20 localhost 12345 <README Where "-k" argument is the key. It's trivial and doesn't support *any* data integrity checking. But it's fast and suitable for bulk data transfers, when performance is the primary aim. -- Paweł Krawczyk *** home: <http://ceti.pl/~kravietz/> security: <http://ipsec.pl/> *** fidonet: 2:486/23

Voice encrytion is cursed. It's tabboo. There's a lot of demand for it, it shoud be cheap and easy to do it, and yet it never happens. When I have enough money, I'm going to make it happen by hiring someone to build and sell the Harmless Little Board project.

6/6/20001 http://www.nytimes.com/2001/06/06/technology/06WEB.html [snip] # # Donald Parker, the superintendent of the Chappaqua school # district, said school officials took the matter seriously. # # "It's just not appropriate to put information about other people # on a Web site," he said. "We all realize that since Columbine, # things have changed." # # Mr. Parker said that "appropriate disciplinary action" had been # taken against the boys, but would not elaborate further. Several # parents and students said the boys had been suspended for five # days, and had not yet returned for classes. # # The Web page at which Manhattan private-school students voted # for the most promiscuous girl or boy was created by someone who # identified herself (or perhaps himself) as Nicole Blair, on a # site owned by a University of Washington student and other people. # # Melissa Jackson, a deputy district attorney in Brooklyn who # investigated complaints about the page, said it did not list # telephone numbers and addresses, and identified many of the girls # only by first name. Her office decided not to pursue the case.

got front plates? (Big Bro needs them..)
by Timothy McVeigh 06 Jun '01

In the UK, do they enforced front-plate requirements a lot? How do they track them Irish otherwise? http://www.latimes.com/editions/orange/20010606/t000047110.html Police Catch Drivers Without Front Plate Traffic police caught 202 drivers without front license plates on their cars Tuesday at a San Fernando Valley intersection, authorities said. The Los Angeles Police Department conducted the three-hour check because too many people without front license plates were getting away with running red lights, said Sgt. Dale Turner of the LAPD's Valley Traffic Division. Cameras mounted at intersections to catch red-light violators are designed to take photographs of a car's front license plate and the driver's face, but up to 25% of violators caught on film are whizzing away unticketed because the front plate is missing, Turner said. "The fine is under $20," Turner said. "A lot of people I'm sure feel that they'd rather pay the fine than put a license plate on and get a $271 [red-light violation] ticket."
