Cool Names, Lost in Flames

Some time ago Human Gus-Peter wrote something that went like this: > I still think that you should just let your kids run your machine or > just pick the guy with the coolest name, like Attila the Hun or > Genocide or OttOmatic. Thanks, Human Gus-peter. I think my name is cool also. I am only suscribeed to the flames list, because my uncle (a secret guy) reads the CENSORED list. This way we can see what the other secret guys are up to, and what kind of KewL StUfF they throw into the Flames Trashcan. Human Gus-peter, I think you should be very careful. They throw everything you write into the trash. That could mean they are watching you. That could be VERY bad for you. We will see where this message goes. otto =-=-=-=-=- Otto Matic "Fuckin' A, Miller!"

I saw your listing for accessing senior citizens newsgroups through compuserve. Do you think, by chance, that the same would be possible through america online? I'm a senior citizen of 59 but find myself liking middle age to older and find the only source on line (that i can locate as am anateur) is netpics.com and you have to pay for this service. But I do enjoy looking at older GUYS and find mostly girls--even on netpics. Thanks. Dave

That's why we call it a test. I have no software. Everything I'm doing is manual. Whatever John has done is probably jerry rigged just for the test. If list members opt for moderation, more effort will be put into the moderation infrastructure. The idea right now is to see how well a first aproximation of moderation works.

Any more like www.anonymizer.com ??
by Edgar W Swank 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Does anyone have a list of web proxies for anonymous surfing? I already know about www.anonymizer.com, and there was a "canadianizer" that would alter text to make it more "Canadian", but that is now apparently defunct. Reason I need to know, a friend in a foreign country has to deal with a web proxy that blocks "objectionable" sites including www.anonymizer, so some alternates that might not be blocked would be welcome.

Re: DES and RSA crypto hardware from the free world

These chips look *very* promising. Who needs Clipper, or HP's Clipper-under-another-name, when you can get triple DES from the free world at prices like this? The critical thing is to get the horse out of the barn before the door is barred. Each and every one of these sorts of vendors has to establish use and distribution on a wide basis before governments of any stripe start locking down on domestic use. There is little time and, yes, I am a paranoid who hopes thereby to survive. --dan

To some (perhaps many, certainly not all) distant servers, provided all the news servers in the path run appropriate software (designed for low latency propagation) and have reasonably high bandwidth Internet links. Disk to disk delays smaller than 1 second have been measured between news servers that use software such as nntplink or innfeed to send outgoing articles immediately. > The Usenet is thousands of news servers, maybe tens of thousands, and > news feeds take a while...small articles are mixed in with hundreds of > megabytes a day of binaries.

If two sites happen to be connected by fast news links, it's quite possible for news between those sites to be faster than mail. --apb (Alan Barrett)

Sorry, I misunderstood the earlier message. I thought that it referred to news propagation between a small set of hosts versus mail propagation between the same small set of mail/news hosts, and I did not see why it was obvious that mail would be faster than news. But actually the earlier message refered to news propagation over the whole planet versus mail propagation between a small set of hosts, in which case of course news will be slower. --apb (Alan Barrett)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Igor, A friend, who, in the CP tradition requested to remain anonymous, and I were doing an informal analysis of those subjects/topics which over the past year generated the most discussion and, by implication, interest on the CP list. Since the list at that time was reportedly unmoderated, we felt some weight should be given to members' interests/desires as measured by their posts, regardless of the applicability to the list topic. With the exceptions of AP (oh so clearly way off-topic), list censorship (too tedious), and remarks either questioning or affirming the sexuality/virility/femininity (or lack thereof ) of almost every CP subscriber, the topic which claimed the most bandwidth was Ebonics. It seemed to touch on several layers of CP interest: freedom of speech, obfuscation, tolerance, intolerance, phonetics, linguistics, race warfare, etc. You name it; just about every well-known c'punk jumped in to make some urbane statement on this, sadly, now dead and ignored issue. Nevertheless, the bandwidth was there! Note; any messages followed by Punctuation Art were excluded if they seemed to lack "dignity," for want of a better word. Based on the above stats (available from my friend on request), my anonymous friend and I request that you add Ebonics as an area of interest to Cypherpunks in your List Intro. Please judge this request on its merit and not on what you may think of me or my anonymous (asexual) friend personally, thereby, by that very action, initiating a New Order of Cypherpunks! Thanks for you consideration. More importantly, thank you for helping to keep this vibrant list alive.

Long story short, they worked on a web page for a particular political campaign and, during the process of doing the web consulting, they briefly set up an e-mail account for them on their server. Since then, they have been treated to a regular supply of spam from various persons who think that is still the Senator's address. They've received threatening spam (about 200 hundred copies of it) which was bounced from them back to senders who in this case weren't even the senders, etc. etc. etc. The headers reflect that they've been forged. Understandably, College Hill is concerned that, those people who might not understand the headers that well, will conclude College Hill as being the spammers - which could damage their reputation.

Interesting question: how to safely keep passwords online
by Ed.Falk＠Eng.Sun.COM 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Here's a question that's been on my mind lately: Often, you like to keep external passwords stored on your personal computer. As a quick example, Eudora will remember your POP password for you so you don't have to enter it every time. Obviously, Eudora keeps this on disk somewhere. The question is: is there any (relatively) safe way to do this? Obviously, Eudora encrypt the saved password with some secret key, but this key could probably be found by examining the code. A slight improvement would be for Eudora to generate an encryption key on the fly based on some external system state, but this is also susceptible to reverse-engineering. -ed falk

Why Digital Video Disks are late to market
by Martin Minow 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

http://techweb.cmp.com/eet/news/97/942news/encryp.html To summarize, the Digital Video Disk standard contains an encryption standard for copyright and anti-piracy protection. however, "some U.S. PC and silicon vendors have just about abandoned hope of keeping to their revised launch schedules for DVD-enabled systems." ... as far as anybody knows, "none of the U.S. PC vendors today has a license to use the DVD-decryption algorithm" in software. "We all know the situation; we don't have a license," said Michael Moradzadeh, program manager of Intel's copy-protection task force. A solution may be in the offing within days. Some sources said late last week that Matsushita [who owns license rights] and key U.S. computer companies may resolve the software-licensing issues by the end of this week. The PC industry seeks amendments to the licensing-agreement language that would result in equivalent treatment of software- and hardware-based CSS decryption. ... there apparently has been some speculation among the U.S. PC community that Matsushita may be stonewalling on the software-licensing issue so that it can establish its hardware-based decryption solution in the marketplace. --- Nothing in the article suggests that "national interests" are involved.
