Hi! It's useful to include a subject line in email so people can decide whether to read it and have more context for it, though calling yourself "fuck you" will probably deter a few people. There are lots of anarchists on the net; you can run into some good discussions on Usenet on several newsgroups with "anarchy" or "anarchism" in the titles. Rec.caves has good underground material...... As far as decryption tools goes, they're pretty closely related to encryption algorithms. There's been a discussion, probably on cryptography(a)c2.org (subscribe via cryptography-request(a)c2.org) though maybe it was on cypherpunks, about designing a screen-saver DES-cracker.

_________________________________________________________________ OVERVIEW OF HIV/AIDS _________________________________________________________________ Some important facts about the evidence that HIV causes AIDS are: * Tests for HIV antibody in persons with AIDS show that they are infected with the virus. * HIV has been isolated from persons with AIDS and grown in pure culture. * Studies of blood transfusion recipients before 1985 documented the transmission of HIV to previously uninfected persons who subsequently developed AIDS. Before the discovery of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS, epidemiologic studies of AIDS patients' sex partners and AIDS cases occurring in blood transfusion recipients before 1985 clearly showed that the underlying cause of AIDS was an infectious agent. Infection with HIV has been the only common factor shared by persons with AIDS throughout the world, including homosexual men, transfusion recipients, persons with hemophilia, sex partners of infected persons, children born to infected women, and health care workers who were infected with HIV while on the job, mainly by being stuck with a needle used on an HIV-infected patient. Although we know that HIV is the cause of AIDS, much remains to be known about exactly how HIV causes the immune system to break down. Scientists are constantly discovering more information about HIV and AIDS. These discoveries help people learn how to stop transmission of the virus and help people infected with HIV to live longer, healthier lives. One important question to answer is why some people exposed to HIV become infected and others do not. Scientists believe it is most likely because of how infectious the other person is and how they are exposed. For example, more than 90 percent of persons who were exposed through an HIV-infected unit of blood became infected. So we know that blood-to-blood contact is a very efficient way that HIV is spread. On the other hand, many health care workers are splashed with blood or bloody body fluids and this type of exposure has caused very few occurrences of HIV infection. Researchers know how HIV is spread and the ways that people can help protect themselves from being exposed to HIV. If you have questions about HIV infection and AIDS, please call the CDC National AIDS Hotline at the tollfree number, 1-800-342-2437. If you wish to write to CDC regarding this subject, please write to the CDC National AIDS Clearinghouse, Post Office Box 6003, Rockville, Maryland, 20849-6003. _________________________________________________________________ Back to HIV/AIDS Information Return to HIV/AIDS Information Back to DHAP home page GO BACK TO DHAP HOME PAGE (with graphics) (text only) _________________________________________________________________ Last Updated: June 13, 1996 Updated By: Technical Information Activity email: hivmail(a)cidhiv1.em.cdc.gov

I don`t think I read the article (even though I subscribe to the unmoderated list), can you forward me a copy. As I understand it though, from other comentaries, it was junked because it was in response to a message by Dimitri who, given that it is Sandy that is moderating the list, is no doubt filtered by different criteria than anyone else on the list, in my opinion a censorous and fascist restraint as Dimitri has recently been posting more crypto relevant material, besides which whatever the content of his posts they should be open to review before a decision is made on if they are to be junked or not. > Sandy also states rather plainly that crypto-relevance is not the > criterion by which he moderates this list. I question this policy. Yes Sandy, please enlighten us, what is the criterion you use to moderate the list if not crypto-relevancy. I suspect an element of self preservation and protection of the list fuhrer and diktat maker John Gilmore (who, until the disgraceful incident with Dimitri commanded some respect on this list). > I would like to hear your opinions as to whether such policies satisfy > the current readership. I don`t think this is the point, John Gilmore is free to appoint whoever he wants to moderate his list, he is free to censor all messages which criticise him and his censorship, however, subscribers to the list should be told they are being censored on these grounds and not on some facade of "crypto relevancy" or another thin veil drawn weakly over content based censorship to protect a certain class of list members.

One of my projects involves tracking language drift; i.e the relative change in word frequency on the internet as time goes by. This is useful for predicting concept movement, and the anglisization rates of non-English language countries. Now, one day while browsing the frequencies from the 10 billion word corpus, what do I see?

One of the points of the Ebonics program is to recognize that other people don't always speak the same way you do, and that if you want to communicate with them, you'll be more successful if you realize it, understand when they're talking in their dialect, and if you're going to talk back to them in yours, remember to translate on occasion. _Regardless_ of whose dialect is "right" (of course on technical issues, we technical people are right, but if you've got the hacker nature, treat it as a problem in social engineering.......)

I apologize for intruding, Cynthia, but I have a question about "doing as s/he sees fit". For example, what is the list? Is it the equipment, is it the software that runs on the equipment, or is it the contents of the list (my writings, your writings, etc.)? If I had to rank them, I would rank the contents as being more important than the equipment or the software. That said, how can those contents be considered the property of the list owner/manager to do with as they see fit? I do understand that they have the right to manage the list as they see fit, and to move the messages into whatever buckets seem appropriate, but your phrasing suggested more to me, and I'm puzzled by it.

An update on the SF airport kiosk email machines: Judging from the headers, there _is_ a Linux machine driving the laptops, and there's a Metricom ricochet modem providing the communications path - interesting alternative to wires, and I guess they don't mind having the extra radio waves in the airport. It does support anonymous email, in that you can type in any email address you want, and it doesn't seem to mind. In addition to limited web, telnet, and outgoing email, it lets you retrieve email with POP3.

Mailcrypt nym.alias.net support
by Jeremey Barrett 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- For those of you who use mailcrypt (Emacs-PGP interface) for email, I have hacked in support for pseudonyms ala nym.alias.net. In fact, the code has nym.alias.net hardcoded for now. I'm gonna add more stuff, but I'm just letting this out as is. This patch affects mailcrypt.el and mc-remail.el. I made these changes to mailcrypt 3.4, so your mileage may vary on other versions. I did this after the C2 party tonight, so typos and bugs are possible. Please email me if bugs are found. "This value is not configureable" does not qualify, I know it's not configureable yet. (BTW there are a couple functions not used, I was doing it one way, then changed my way of thinking, but the code is ok so I left it.) Installing it: o cd to your lisp directory o cat /path/to/the/patch | patch -p0, or something similar (You will need to pgp this message before extracting the patch to get rid of the leading "- " on some lines.) o recompile the .el files, ala: emacs -batch -f batch-byte-compile mc-remail.el emacs -batch -f batch-byte-compile mailcrypt.el Using it: o You _must_ have a remailer chain defined. This does not work with a single remailer (though a chain of length 1 might work). o Compose a message or reply as normal. Once you are done (the message would go out without nyms or remailers or anything if you hit C-c C-c), hit C-c / n. o The first question asks for a remailer chain, it will do completions. o The second question asks for the name of your nym. This is assumed to be @nym.alias.net, DO NOT include @nym.alias.net. If your nym is jimbob(a)nym.alias.net, just answer jimbob. This does not do completions at the moment. Putting your nym in your .emacs file is a bit weird anyway. o You will be asked for a signature for your nym's private key. o The message will be rewritten to send(a)nym.alias.net and then to the remailer chain you chose. o Send it. Hack the code at will, if you make significant enhancements, please email patches to me. Of course there is no warranty of any sort, if it blows up your machine you're out a machine. I will put this on my web page (http://www.veriweb.com/people/jeremey) for those that prefer that. Ok, here's the patch: - ---------------------------------cut here----------------------------------- *** mailcrypt.el Tue Oct 10 12:33:45 1995 - --- /usr/home/jeremey/PGP/mailcrypt-3.4/mailcrypt.el Sat Jan 25 02:45:27 1997 *************** *** 51,56 **** - --- 51,57 ---- (autoload 'mc-sign "mc-toplev" nil t) (autoload 'mc-insert-public-key "mc-toplev" nil t) (autoload 'mc-remailer-encrypt-for-chain "mc-remail" nil t) + (autoload 'mc-remailer-encrypt-for-nym "mc-remail" nil t) (autoload 'mc-remailer-insert-response-block "mc-remail" nil t) (autoload 'mc-remailer-insert-pseudonym "mc-remail" nil t) *************** *** 101,107 **** (define-key mc-write-mode-map "\C-c/b" 'mc-remailer-insert-response-block) (define-key mc-write-mode-map "\C-c/p" !
