Photos of Bad Aibling RSOC posted
by pgut001＠cs.auckland.ac.nz 21 Jul '02

21 Jul '02

I've finally got around to posting the photos of Bad Aibling RSOC which I took two years ago. From the web page: There are very few photos of the Bad Aibling RSOC around, only one or two rather old, grainy illustrations which presumably came from newspaper articles. When I was in the area in the summer of 2000 I took the opportunity to wander round and take a few photos, which I've posted below as scanned. These were taken with a borrowed camera and a fixed 50mm lens, so don't expect too much (I'm a cryptographer, not a photographer). Note that this page can take awhile to load because of the number and size of the images. Available at http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/misc/badaibling.html. Peter.

Fundamentalist capitalists.
by Matthew X 21 Jul '02

21 Jul '02

Molly Ivins on you fakirs,you know who you are..."...We are being stolen blind by crooks pretending to be fundamentalist capitalists. Your fundamentalist capitalist is, mais oui (as we often say in Lubbock), the one who believes The Free Market Answers All. This is a theological position, beyond reach of persuasion by either fact or logic--not to mention history, experience, and time. The market fundamentalist doesn't understand that when capitalism is not regulated, it screws up with monotonous regularity, and reading the newspapers lately gives you a sense of how it works. Big scandal: Enron and other corporate players bilked California during the energy crisis! Do you realize how pathetic that was? A massive, hideous rip-off, and all these latter-day Joads in California (many with purple hair, rings in their navels, tattoos on their kidneys and toy poodles dyed-to-match--you have to allow for California) cried over the months of ruthless pillage, "Where the hell is the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission? Where's FERC?" Well, FERC was occupied by regulators who came from a list supplied by one Ken Lay, chairman of Enron. Then there's the gross conflict of interest of the stock analysts, who were recommending stocks they thought were "dogs" or "a piece of crap" so their firms could score investment banking fees from these same dogs. Or take Dick Cheney's old firm, Halliburton, which, while he was in charge, "altered its accounting policies so it could report as revenue more than $100 million in disputed costs on big construction projects," The New York Times reported. The company's auditor: Arthur Andersen. And who is supposed to be policing all this? An SEC led by Bush's man Harvey Pitt, a lawyer for financial institutions who once wrote a law review article that advocated shredding..."

Never pay eBay listing fees again!
by martenm＠aol.com 20 Jul '02

20 Jul '02

Hi, I'm a college dropout. I work about two hours a day. I'm ambitious, but extremely lazy, and I make over $250,000 a year. Are you curious yet? In a minute I'm going to tell you my secret, it's the dirty little secret of the Internet ... You've probably heard stories about people making whopping huge money online, but you thought they were the big corporate execs, famous programmers, or boy-geniuses. Well, grasshopper, think again ... It's people like you and me that are making the real money. Yep, people like YOU AND ME! Ever since the "dot com bubble" burst in 1999, small-time entrepreneurs are getting richer while the Fortune 500 companies look for bankruptcy lawyers. Today small business owners and ordinary folks like you and me can use the web to achieve complete financial freedom with NO INVESTMENT and very little work. How? By learning the most profitable marketing technique ever created - it's called BULK EMAIL. If you've ever recieved an email advertisement, then you know what bulk email is. I bet you can't click on DELETE fast enough for most of those ads, right? You might not want their product, but remember that thousands of other folks probably do. Bulk email is a percentage game - every bulker who contacts you makes a six figure income on the Internet. I guarantee it. Now let's go back to Math 101 and review some numbers ... If you sell on eBay, you pay anywhere from a few dollars to over a hundred dollars just to post one auction. How many people see your ad? Maybe a couple thousand or even ten or twenty thousand over a period of days. Using bulk email, YOU CAN SEND YOUR AD TO MORE THAN A MILLION PEOPLE A DAY at virtually no cost. Whether your send 100,000 emails or 100 million emails, the price is the same. ZERO! Stop paying those outrageous auction listing fees when hardly anyone sees your ad! Imagine that you have a decent product with a profit margin of $20.00 on each sale. If you send an email ad to 500,000 people, and only one person in a thousand actually places an order, then you just generated 500 orders and made $10,000 in a few hours of work. It's that simple ... All you have to do is convince ONE PERSON OUT OF A THOUSAND to buy your stuff and you're FILTHY RICH. The best thing is that anyone can do it. Doesn't matter if you're a nineteen-year-old college student using a dorm-room computer or a fifty-year-old executive working from an office building in New York City. Anyone, and I repeat ANYONE, can start bulk emailing with virtually no startup costs. All it takes is a few days of study, plenty of ambition, and some basic familiarity with the Internet. I quit college when I was 19 to capitalize on the "Dot Com" mania, and I've never looked back. I started with no money, no product to sell, and only the most rudimentary computer skills. I saw an opportunity and I seized it. A few years later, I bought my own home - with CASH. You don't need any money. You don't need a product. You don't need to be a computer nerd and no experience whatsoever is required. If you saw an employment ad in the newspaper like that you'd jump right on it. It would be a dream come true. So what are you waiting for?! I'm going to ask you four simple questions. If you answer YES to all of them, then I can almost promise that you will make at least $100,000 using bulk email this year. Here goes ... Do you have basic experience with the web? Do you have a computer and an Internet connection? Do you have a few hours each day of free time? Do you want to earn some extra money with an eye towards complete financial freedom? If you answer YES to these questions, you could be making $5,000 - $20,000 per week working from your home. Kiss your day job goodbye - this sure beats the 9-5 daily grind! All you need is ambition and commitment. This is no "get rich quick scheme". You have to work to make big bucks, but ANYONE - and I mean ANYONE - can do it. You're probably wondering if it's hard to get started. Don't worry, it's not! I will show you step-by-step how to start your first email campaign and how to build a booming online business. You'll be generating orders - AND MAKING MONEY - in less than seven days. Okay, so what if you don't have anything to sell? No problem!! I'll show you where to find hot products that sell like CRAAAAAAZY! Most people delay starting an Internet business because they have nothing to sell, but I'm removing that hurdle right now. After reading the Bulkbook, you can build your complete product line in less than two hours! There is NO EXCUSE not to get started! I will get you up-and-running within seven days. In fact ... I personally guarantee that you will start your own bulk email campaign less than a week after reading the Bulkbook! I'll give you a toll-free phone number to reach me 24 hours a day, seven days a week; where else will you find that level of service?! I will also include a step-by-step guide to starting your very first email campaign called "Seven Days to Bulk Email Success". This seperate guide contains a daily routine for you to follow with specific, exact instructions on how to get started. On day one, for example, I teach you where to find a product to sell. The next day you learn how to build a fresh mailing list. On the seventh day, you just click send! Your very first campaign is ready to go. As a special bonus, you'll recieve a FREE copy of our STEALTH MASS MAILER, a very powerful bulk email program which retails for $49.99! I'll even include 7 million email addresses absolutely FREE if you order NOW! Stop wasting your money on auction listing fees, classifieds, and banner ads - they don't work, and never will! If you are SERIOUS about making money on the Internet, bulk email is your only option. What are you waiting for? Few of us are willing to share this knowledge, but I promise to teach you everything I know about bulk emailing in this extraordinary bulk emailer's handbook ... The Bulkbook!

300 Per Cent Return on Campaign Slush
by John Young 20 Jul '02

20 Jul '02

Nice comment on Bill Moyer's NOW last night by John Bogle, "described by Fortune Magazine as one of the investment industrys four giants of the 20th century.": It's no surpise smart businesses invest in DC political contributions. You can get 300% return, compared to only 15-20% of the top corporate stocks. Mr. Bogle believes this is a scandal, and while he does not believe in governmental intervention against corporate corruption he does favor higher ethical standards. He thinks the giant mutal funds and governmental pension funds -- some 75 of them control 45% of all stocks -- should forego pursuit of maximum return on their investments and demand that corporations stop corrupt practices. He said it is amazing that the mutual funds are so quiet about their losses, except for the fact that they have been the greatest beneficiaries of corruption, rather 300% ROI.
