Faustine, you will not be billed for this, this time: A fair number of posters here attempt to speak for those who cannot communicate coherently, as well as for those who speak badly, wrongly, misguidely, stupidly, ungrammatically, and ebonically -- and more lilies than I got the brain to contain. I like those sheep doggie dogs and you will too if you learn that they know where the master whistling their behavior keeps the club to the head they bark earnestly to avoid. Remember the dogs can keep you from being served as dinner, and being regularly fleeced aint half bad compared to having to put up with the master's lonely proclivities. It's all about money and the crippling drug of it, forget the vain parables of reputation deployed to sneakthief your savings. Anybody tell you how to behave and speak and think got one thing only on its fevered mind. There, for free, one time only.

Redirection server (fwd)

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri Aug 24 15:22:59 PDT 2001 From: davidthompson(a)hushmail.com To: coderpunks(a)toad.com Subject: Redirection server -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- http://geocities.yahoo.com/cryptosw has code for my "redirection server". This is a simple stand-alone server proxy. It accepts requests from other servers that "hide behind" it. Each one gets assigned a port that the redirection server listens on. Then any connection requests to that port get transparently forwarded to the remote server that requested it. The result is that the client sees only the redirection server address and not the address of the remote server that is actually providing the service. It doesn't do any encryption but could still be useful for protocols that use crypto. You can even chain servers together if enough people start running them. Also at the address above is the Dining Cryptographers network chat program, if anyone would like to try it out post here and we can set up a time for people to connect.

CfP: Workshop on Privacy Enhancing Technologies 2002
by Roger Dingledine 25 Aug '01

25 Aug '01

Can you pass this on to your (dcsb/etc) lists? Thanks, --Roger ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS WORKSHOP ON PRIVACY ENHANCING TECHNOLOGIES 2002 Apr 14-15, 2002 San Francisco, CA, USA Workshop web site: http://www.pet2002.org/ Privacy and anonymity are increasingly important in the online world. Corporations and governments are starting to realize their power to track users and their behavior, and restrict the ability to publish or retrieve documents. Approaches to protecting individuals, groups, and even companies and governments from such profiling and censorship have included decentralization, encryption, and distributed trust. Building on the success of the first anonymity and unobservability workshop (LNCS 2009, held in Berkeley in July 2000), this second workshop addresses the design and realization of such anonymity and anti-censorship services for the Internet and other communication networks. We are holding this workshop adjacent to the Twelfth Conference on Computers, Freedom, and Privacy (CFP2002) for convenience, but we are not affiliated with that conference. The workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of privacy technologies, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems. We encourage submissions from other communities such as law and business that present these communities' perspectives on technological issues. We will publish accepted papers in proceedings in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Suggested topics include but are not restricted to: * Efficient realization of privacy services * Techniques for and against traffic analysis * Attacks on anonymity systems * New concepts for anonymity systems * Novel relations of payment mechanisms and anonymity * Models for anonymity and unobservability * Models for threats to privacy * Techniques for censorship resistance * Resource management in anonymous systems * Pseudonyms, linkability, and trust * Policy and human rights -- anonymous systems in practice * Fielded systems and privacy enhancement techniques for existing systems * Frameworks for new systems developers IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline December 10, 2001 Acceptance notification February 11, 2002 Camera-ready copy for preproceedings March 11, 2002 Camera-ready copy for proceedings May 15, 2002 GENERAL CHAIR Adam Shostack, Zero Knowledge Systems (adam(a)zeroknowledge.com) PROGRAM COMMITTEE John Borking, Dutch Data Protection Authority Lance Cottrell, Anonymizer.com Roger Dingledine, Reputation Technologies (co-chair, arma(a)mit.edu) Hannes Federrath, Freie Universitaet Berlin, Germany Markus Jakobsson, RSA Laboratories Marit Koehntopp, Independent Centre for Privacy Protection, SH, Germany Andreas Pfitzmann, Dresden University of Technology, Germany Avi Rubin, AT&T Labs - Research Paul Syverson, Naval Research Lab (co-chair, syverson(a)itd.nrl.navy.mil) Michael Waidner, IBM Zurich Research Lab PAPER SUBMISSIONS Submitted papers must not substantially overlap with papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Papers should be at most 15 pages excluding the bibliography and well-marked appendices (using 11-point font and reasonable margins), and at most 20 pages total. Authors are encouraged to follow Springer LNCS format in preparing their submissions. <http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html> Committee members are not required to read the appendices and the paper should be intelligible without them. The paper should start with the title, names of authors and an abstract. The introduction should give some background and summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. We will publish accepted papers in proceedings in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series after the workshop. During the workshop preproceedings will be made available. Final versions are not due until after the workshop, giving the authors the opportunity to revise their papers based on discussions during the meeting. Submissions can be made in Postscript or PDF format. To submit a paper, send a plain ASCII text email to the program chairs (emails: arma(a)mit.edu, syverson(a)itd.nrl.navy.mil) containing the title and abstract of the paper, the authors' names, email and postal addresses, phone and fax numbers, and identification of the contact author. To the same message, attach your submission (as a MIME attachment). Papers must be received by December 10, 2001. Notification of acceptance or rejection will be sent to authors no later than February 11, 2002, and authors will have the opportunity to revise for the preproceedings version by March 11, 2002. Submission implies that, if accepted, the author(s) agree to publish in the proceedings and to sign a standard Springer copyright release, and also that an author of the paper will present it at the workshop.

Everyone here is perfectly capable of reading my posts and deciding for themselves--why the need for the grand pronouncement? Now that you've told everyone how to think, why not use your filter file and get it over with. These elaborate, drawn-out "thinking man's" variations on the "you poopy head" theme are a complete waste of time. Who would have ever imagined that someone so intelligent and thoughtful could be so petty. ~Faustine.

I was in a canoe once on a very backwoods lake, nobody else within miles -- a fucking F16 came over so low he spun my canoe around almost swamped it. Another time, in another state, a helicopter came into my yard so low he went _around_ my house, not over it, did a power turn in the front yard, and came back around the side of the house again. He was extremely lucky, the only gun I could grab that quick was a .22 pistol. I put 6 rounds into his canopy. He was so close I could see his face clearly. If I'd had my .44 mag, he'd of been one dead asshole. I got a bit nervous afterwards, was wondering if the cops would show up, but then realized there was no way in hell he could report it, he would have lost his pilot's license for that cowboy bullshit. They are required by law to stay 500' minimum above private property.
