Anybody feels like dampening the enthusiasm a bit? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2002 10:48:46 -0400 From: Bill Kearney <wkearney99(a)hotmail.com> Cc: fork(a)xent.com Subject: Re: Silver lining of the spam & virus epidemic... > "well tom your full of shit again because according to you... Well, that about answers it then, doesn't it? There is indeed an issue of it being possible that escalation will eventually lead to it's own series of problems. This has been true about almost every advance in history. And yet things continue to evolve. What's stopping digital signatures now? Purchasing impediments and UI integration. They're either too hard (or expensive) to purchase or impossible use with jumping through flaming UI hoops. And even when someone possess a usable key the process of managing it it even more of a pain in the ass. But the underlying concepts of reputation and trust have some validity and are worth considering. Just running about making silly Star Wars analogies, while entertaining, does little to advance the discussion. http://xent.com/mailman/listinfo/fork

Dear Friend, This letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have not yet met. The message could be strange but reel if you pay some attention to it. I could have notified you about it at least for the sake of your integrity. Please accept my sincere apologies. In bringing this message of goodwill to you, I have to say that I have no intentions of causing you any pains. I am Ms. Sandra savimbi, daughter of the late rebel leader Jonas savimbi of Angola who was killed on the 22nd of febuary 2002 . I managed to get your contact details through "The World Business Journal", a journal of the Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce in South Africa in the time I was desperately looking for a trustworthy person to assist me in this confidential business. my late father, Jonas savimbi was able to deposit a large sum of money in differnt banks in europe My father is presently death and the movement of his family members (including me) is restricted. We are forbidden to either travel abroad or out of our localities. Presently, the US$25,600,000.00 twentyfive, MILLION, six HUNDRED DOLLARS my father transfered to Netherlands is safe and is in a security firm. I am therefore soliciting your help tohave this money transfered into your account. before my government get wind of this fund .You know my father was a rebel leader in Angola before his death My reason for doing this is because it will be difficult for the Angolan government to trace my father's money to an individual's account, especially when such an individual has no relationship ,I decided to keep that money for my family use. At present the money is kept in a Security Company in nertherland. I am currently and temporarily living in Angola with my husband. Moreover the political climatein Angola at the moment being so sensitive and unstable. When you are ready i will give you the information needed before you can get access to the fund you will then proceed to Netherlands where the US$25,600,000.00 twentyfive, MILLION, six HUNDRED DOLLARS will be given to you as payment. Alternatively, you can have the fund transferred into any account that suits you. and for your co-operation and partnership, we have unanimously agreed that you will be entitled to 5.5% of the money when successfully receive it in your account. The nature of your business is not relevant to the successful execution of this transaction. kindly provide me with all your contacts addresses including your personal telephone and fax number.

Harry Potter released unprotected

>Harry Potter released unprotected > >13:40 13 June 02 NewScientist.com news service > >Warner Home Video has chosen not to copy-protect the home versions of its >blockbuster movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in major markets, >including the US and UK. This means people can go out and buy a DVD or >VHS, connect the analogue output of their player to a recorder - either >analogue or digital - and make free copies for friends. > >Usually, hot new movies are protected by Macrovision, which tinkers with >the analogue picture signal so that it can be viewed on a TV set but not >copied. > >http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99992404 So, is this just a test or has at least one industry giant decided, as the software industry learned long ago, that the cost of copy protection often exceeds its value. Time to short Macrovision (MVSN, NASDAQ NM)? In the past year the stock has dropped from about $72 to about $14. I wonder if their $1.00 drop in price on today's opening reflects this news? steve
