Hi David, Forwarded message: > >Consequently, a contradiction emerges between the universality of intellectual labor (the search for > >universal truth and the good of all) and the particularity of the interests served. The intellectual > middle rival? devil rim lad? This is too weird. I believe the entire problem rests in that concept 'universal truth', again a veiled reference to a theism of some sort or another, a fundamental transcendance. > That reminds me.

I believe we have like 5 or 6 channels currently. I worked on a program for access television a few years ago doing post production, video processing, and audio sweetening. It was a soap opera that we filmed in a local retirement home and even won an award at some contest in England. It was called 'Silver Time'. The cool thing is that anyone can go down and by taking a couple of 4 hour classes put their own show on. Because I know the person who does their technical support via contract through one of my customers (CVS) they'll let me go in and play around for free. They have some quite professional equipment, Raptors and several non-linear editing decks as well as a bunch of Amiga Video Toasters and such. That experience is one of the reasons I ended getting my own Toaster. The hard drive of which failed and I have spend the last few evenings, between answering your traffic, rebuilding. It finaly came back online yesterday and I think I've just about got it all rebuilt software wise. One of the local Austin Cypherpunks works on a variety of shows down there and occassionaly puts on his own video game review production. We had hoped to do a 30 minute 'state of crypto today' show but we never could get the momentum going. Jim

Re: Misty???

One version of MISTY appeared a couple of years ago, and it was discussed on cpunks then. Mitsubishi has had brief descriptions of it since then as the algorithm used on its LSI chip. Here are two almost identical Melco blurbs which describe the features of MISTY1 and MYSTY2: http://www.melco.co.jp/rd_home/map/j_s/topics/new/misty_e.html http://www.mitsubishi.com/ghp_japan/TechShowcase/Text/tsText06.html Note that these undated sites promise to publicize the algorithm and state that public testing of algorithms is a means of assuring their strength. Matsui, one of its authors, is a highly respected cryptographer and he's a regular participant in international crypto conferences. His articles on the ciphers underlying MISTY are listed in the IETF draft for it: http://jya.com/misty1.htm For those who wish to see the 25 draft encryption algorithms submitted to IETF in 1997 (MISTY1 the last) see a list at: http://jya.com/ietf-dea-97.htm

Re: How to eliminate liability?
by John M 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Bill, Thanks for your response. Such a simple idea, I kinda figgered (was hoping) that it was already thought of, but I hadn't heard of it. I have been meaning to buy Schneier's book... One of my points, however, is that if the division of the encrypted information is done properly, even if the private key were deduced by whatever means, all they would find is (for instance) the high order bits and some ECC, but nothing that could be used to regenerate any meaningful information without the other parts. Because of this, I have been asking myself, how could any one datahaven operator be held responsible for holding classified, porn, or other information if they only have a meaningless slice of it? Perhaps this is more a legal question (even more out of my league) than anything... Any comments? >Secret Sharing is easy, and there are a number of implementations with >useful properties like being able to read the original from K of N parts.* >The problem is how to implement it in ways that protect the server >operators as well as the information providers.

Group works on way to make Net payments work.
by Robert Hettinga 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

--- begin forwarded text Date: Fri, 23 Jan 1998 13:28:39 -0800 (PST) From: William Knowles <erehwon(a)dis.org> To: DCSB <dcsb(a)ai.mit.edu> Subject: Group works on way to make Net payments work. Organization: Home for retired social engineers & unrepented cryptophreaks MIME-Version: 1.0 Sender: bounce-dcsb(a)ai.mit.edu Precedence: bulk Reply-To: William Knowles <erehwon(a)dis.org> SAN FRANCISCO (Wired) - Someone out there is actually worried that you might end up with a desktop littered with different digital wallets or that you might not get a receipt for your pay-per-view time visiting an X-rated site. In fact, a group of 30 electronic payment companies are working on a protocol that would ensure that all digital wallets and cybercash registers will know how to talk to each other and issue the proper digital "paper trails." Spearheaded by ecash pioneer, Mondex International, the group is working on an way to make a single digital wallet on the desktop to interact with the payment systems designed by everyone from CyberCash to AT&T to Wells Fargo Bank. By using XML (extended markup language), the protocol is designed to ensure interoperability among the software used by buyers, sellers, and financial institutions to carry out online transactions. The open trading protocol hasn't gotten half the attention that SET, the secure electronic transaction protocol, has. And, at first glance, its job may not seem as crucial since it's not about guaranteeing the security of transactions. But those aboard the new protocol-defining body say their system of compatible operations is key to getting consumers to really embrace e-commerce. "Imagine if you've got an IBM wallet, a Microsoft wallet, and a VeriFone wallet," suggested Mondex International development co-director, David Burdett. "Unless you have some standard way in which these wallets can communicate with each other and with merchants, you aren't going to end up with interoperability and the consumer's going to have to have lots of different wallets on the PC." The goal of the open trading protocol is to make transparent the traditional steps in a transaction: the offer for sale, agreement to purchase, generation of receipt, and attendant paper trail. And to make it all happen with no more than a click of the buyer's mouse. "(The open trading protocol) is trying to replicate in the virtual world what people have in the real world: things like invoices, making payments, getting receipts and delivery of goods," said Burdett. And to guarantee that you can have real-world accountability, even for virtual purchases. "If you're only getting delivery of virtual goods over the Net, such as software or entertainment content that you pay for, there's no physical delivery at all; but you still want a receipt and all the other normal aspects of a transaction," Burdett said. A preliminary version of the proposed common language was posted early this month to the OTP Web site, by the 30-member consortium, which includes CyberCash, DigiCash, IBM, MasterCard, Mondex, Netscape, Oracle, Sun Microsystems, VeriFone, and Wells Fargo Bank. Conspicuously absent from the coalition are Visa International, which reportedly declined to join the coalition when invited by Mondex, and Microsoft, which apparently opted out of the group's plan because it is busy developing an alternate standard called the Value Chain Initiative. Still, Microsoft's absence isn't expected to thwart widespread adoption of the protocol. "There's a lot of flexibility with these protocols," said Zona Research analyst Vernon Keenan, who pointed out that the group protocol and Microsoft's version are not necessarily mutually exclusive. "The key factor to determine adoption is whether ... the major commerce server players incorporate these protocols." And it seems at least several will, since they've already joined the ranks of open trading protocol proponents. -- The information standard is more draconian than the gold standard, because the government has lost control of the marketplace. -- Walter Wriston -- http://www.dis.org/erehwon/ For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "dcsb-request(a)ai.mit.edu" with one line of text: "help". --- end forwarded text ----------------- Robert Hettinga (rah(a)shipwright.com) Philodox e$, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston, MA 02131 USA "... however it may deserve respect for its usefulness and antiquity, [predicting the end of the world] has not been found agreeable to experience." -- Edward Gibbon, 'Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' The e$ Home Page: http://www.shipwright.com/ Ask me about FC98 in Anguilla!: <http://www.fc98.ai/>

Internal Affairs: Looking for Lewinsky, from Netly News (fwd)

If President Clinton just can't shake this week's accusation of peripatetic philandering, let's give the Net some credit. First, we must acknowledge Matt Drudge, the online rumormonger who finally exacted his revenge on Clinton for supporting Blumenthal v. Drudge, a lawsuit with a million-dollar price tag. When Newsweek spiked an expos of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, it was Drudge who spread the rumor across the Net and throughout the media on Saturday, January 17. [...] Of course, until yesterday, Clinton's impeachment seemed about as far-fetched a possibility as our unearthing one of Lewinsky's close friends on Usenet -- which is exactly what The Netly News was dispatched to do. Every time there's a major news event, our intrepid Internet team is called forth to scour DejaNews, troll IRC and mass-mail anyone who might possibly divulge information on the given subject. The Lewinsky search was less revealing than most. We found the former White House intern's annual salary; her home address in Portland, Ore.; the amount she and her mother donated to Democratic campaigns ($1,550 in 1996). Someone informed us, in all seriousness, that Lewinsky once gave him a goldfish. We also had people ask us if we'd pay them for information. (Fat chance.) [...]

IETF S/MIME to follow PGP in building in GAK?
by Adam Back 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

You may recall the furor generated by PGP Inc adding a GAK enabling feature thus making it easier for governments to impose GAK on the deployed PGP 5.x user base. PGP Inc called this feature CMR (Corporate Message Recovery) or ARR (Additional Recipient Request). Over on IETF S/MIME, right now there is a thread which looks set to add an almost identifical feature to S/MIME (spooky how similar the feature is even). Most of the regular contributors on S/MIME work for GAK sell out companies anyway, so I figure this is pretty much a done deal. (S/MIME already has another form of GAK also, in that the X.509 key directory specs allow the directory to optionally keep _private_ keys also). I think the ARR mechanism is actually more dangerous than keeping locally escrowed copies of keys in PGP because of the web of trust model. (See: http://www.dcs.ex.ac.uk/~aba/cdr/ for my thoughts on this). In the S/MIME world where there is a more hierarchical approach to Certification, you can expect government run CAs which demand a copy of your private key also. (eg. the UK DTI document on crypto licensing proposals was talking about this method). For S/MIME, S/MIME style ARR seems fairly balanced in lethality to CAs which keep private keys. I wonder if Phil Zimmermann feels proud of himself now that S/MIME looks like it will adopt his CAK/GAKware design. You might be amused at this introductory remark from the proposer on S/MIME IETF: : As a side note, this is not a radically new concept as something very : similar has already been proposed and implemented by PGP. : : Flames welcome. The guy's proposal below. It was well received too. Someone else proposed adding it in as a core MUST S/MIME requirement to handle these additional recipient requests. (You can follow the thread on the hypertext archive at www.imc.org (look for IETF S/MIME mailing list, or by subscribing to ietf-smime(a)imc.org) Adam ====================================================================== Date: Fri, 23 Jan 1998 13:07:01 -0700 From: "Steve Russell" <steve.russell(a)worldtalk.com> Subject: Corporate Key mechanism To: <ietf-smime(a)imc.org> A new and somewhat radical thread.... Because I believe the following to be true: - Requiring key recovery is a bad thing (complexity, cost, implementation, etc.) - Companies do have a need to access mail encrypted to or encrypted by their employees (lost keys, legal investigations, etc) - We are all working on methods of satisfying US export requirements so that we can export a cryptographically useful product - The is a middle step between full key recovery and no hope of recovery which involves encrypting messages to a 'corporate key' in addition to a individual public key when sending a message. Basically, what is involved is changing the user certificate format to designate a field for a second certificate which represents the corporate public key appropriate for that user. An application intending to encrypt mail to that user MUST then encrypt the message to both the user key and the corporate key. By no means am I implying that everyone that implements S/MIME leave a back door into all of their messages. However, since most companies that are implementing secure messaging are setting up their own CA (Entrust, OnSite, Netscape, etc.) and they have control over what fields are populated and with what information, they are able to choose whether or not they need visibility into their own data. As a side note, this is not a radically new concept as something very similar has already been proposed and implemented by PGP. Flames welcome. Steve

cryptix java AES effort

(AES is the Advanced Encryption Standard, a NIST standardisation process ongoing at present to select a replacement encryption algorithm for DES.

2 sides to the poll on DOJ v. M$
by Attila T. Hun 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- let's look at the tail of the Reuters newsclip on M$ settling the immediate contempt action --a settlement most of the outside experts say gives the government an advantage in the final determination. what I dont like is that M$ scored a huge PR victory by caving in to the government --it had no choice, but many of the fence sitters are now going to state that M$ is "reforming" --which is pure bullshit; they are playing the Lenin-Stalin game of dealmaking so they can regroup and work around it, then blatantly violate it after they have sufficient strength. I like the comment Maureen quoted the 21st from one attorney who liked M$ to smallpox --"...stamp it out, ...or it will come back." But a poll issued Friday cast doubt on how far the public backs the government's scrutiny of Microsoft. A Time/CNN survey of 1,020 adults Jan. 14-15 found 46 percent thought Microsoft's dominant role in the software industry was good for consumers against 30 percent who thought it was bad. I am surprised they determined only 46% thought it was good as it has made for cheap, almost good enough, and ubiquitous software --if you dont mind settling for mediocrity with most innovations products M$ has either preempted or stolen. what is really surprising is that there really were 30% who acknowledged the danger of M$ as a monopoly! people vote for government with their wallets --voting for "cheaper" commerce-- even more so. Americans are not known for their discriminating choice of products based on quality and function --they almost always settle for "almost good enough" and cheap. secondly, they are truly "sheeple" and must have what everybody else has which is a market driven by positive feedback --in analog amplifiers, that often causes smokeouts-- and controlled are commonly referred to as oscillators. The same poll found 51 percent thought the government should refrain from steps to reduce Microsoft's advantage over other software companies vs. 32 percent who thought the government should intervene. this one is also very telling. the 51% is peanuts against the fact that 30% actually believe the government should intervene! --that is even more impressive considering that most Americans want government to do less and trust federal agencies even less. for something as complicated as antitrust actions, I find the 32% proactive intervention percentage rather warm and fuzzy in that there is a real understanding that M$ is a malignant cancer, and needs to be treated as such. M$ made a serious mistake treating the judge, the DOJ, and the American people with the contempt they have always treated their competitors. gone are the home grown 'aw shucks' appreciation of the American success story --Gate$ and crew have been shown to be the selfish 4 year old brats we in the industry have all learned to "love".... the only danger of this recent poll is that M$ spin doctors will show it as a victory --it's not. 30+% that want to curtail your power is not a victory --the percentage changed from a few hundred or a thousand of in the industry who feel Gate$ has long since passed the acceptable level of control to greater than 30% of the population-- _that_ is significant. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: latin1 Comment: No safety this side of the grave.

Re: Executing Kaczynski
by Greg Broiles 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

>The more important silence is about the instant sentencing of the >Unabomber compared to Jim Bell's sentencing. What _is_ happening with >Jim? Kaczynski was not sentenced immediately - but the crimes he plead guilty to and the legal posture of the prosecution (e.g., the withdrawn notice of intent to seek the death penalty) make his sentence a foregone conclusion. He is still, however, subject to the same pre-sentencing rigamarole that Jim was; see, for example, this excerpt from the transcripts of the court proceeding on 1/22 - (at <http://cnn.com/SPECIALS/1997/unabomb/transcripts/9801/012298.txt>). 9THE COURT: Okay. There will be a special assessment of 10 $650 imposed for your guilty plea pursuant to federal law. 11Mr. Kaczynski, do you understand those possible 12 consequences of your plea? 13THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor. 14THE COURT: Under the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, the 15 United States Sentencing Commission has issued guidelines for 16 judges to follow in determining the sentence in a criminal 17 case. Have you and your attorneys talked about how the 18 Sentencing Commission guidelines might apply to your case? 19(Discussion off the record between the defendant, 20 Ms. Clarke and Mr. Denvir.) 21THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor. 22THE COURT: Do you understand that the Court will not be 23 able to determine the guideline sentence for your case until 24 after the pre-sentence report has been completed and your 25 attorney and the Government have had an opportunity to object SUSAN VAUGHAN, CSR No. 9673 -- (916) 446-1347 3810 1 to any of the findings in that report? 2THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor. 3THE COURT: Do you understand that after it has been 4 determined what guideline applies to a case, the judge has the 5 authority in some circumstances to impose a sentence that is 6 more severe or less severe than the sentence called for by the 7 guidelines? 8THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor. 9THE COURT: How about the question of appeal? Has that 10 been waived? 11MR. LAPHAM: Yes, Your Honor. It's contained at page 7, 12 beginning at line 16. 13THE COURT: Okay. Do you understand that by entering 14 into the plea agreement you have entered with the Government, 15 you will have waived or given up your right to appeal all or 16 any part of your plea of guilty and anything else that occurs 17 during this conviction hearing and anything that occurs during 18 your sentencing hearing? 19THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor. 20THE COURT: Do you understand that parole has been 21 abolished and that if you plead guilty, you will spend the 22 rest of your life in prison and you will never be released or 23 paroled? 24THE DEFENDANT: I understand that, Your Honor. 25THE COURT: Do you understand that if the sentence is SUSAN VAUGHAN, CSR No. 9673 -- (916) 446-1347 3811 1 more severe than you expected, you will still be bound by your 2 plea and will have no right to withdraw it? 3THE DEFENDANT: I understand it, Your Honor. 4THE COURT: Do you understand that if I do not accept 5 the sentencing recommendation in your plea agreement, you will 6 still be bound by your plea and will have no right to withdraw 7 it? 8THE DEFENDANT: I understand that, Your Honor.

Update on New Zealand crypto policy
by pgut001＠cs.auckland.ac.nz 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

As part of my recent effort to prepare a useful home page after 2 years of having instead a mini text adventure, I've finally got around to finishing off the web page containing the recent history of, and current state of, New Zealands crypto export policy as decided by several intelligence agencies and a supporting cast of bungling bureaucrats. This policy has resulted in New Zealand enjoying the dubious distinction of having the strictest export controls on earth, with everything ranging from crypto hardware down to software, library books, computer magazines, and journals being restricted from export. It's not even possible for a university to publish academic research without prior permission from a government agency, and the requirements for obtaining this permission are structured to ensure that they can never be fulfilled. You can find the information on: http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/policy/ The page also contains links to a sizeable collection of never-before- published documents including correspondence with relevant government agencies, and media reports on the situation. If you're going to send me mail about this, please note that I'll be at Usenix in San Antonio for the next week, so it'll take awhile for me to reply. My PGP key's at the bottom of my home page if you need it. Peter.

Re: cryptix java AES effort
by Ian Grigg 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Adam kindly forwarded the AES quest blurbs to interested and/or interesting groups. Some slight clarification is required in the detail of who and what. Adam said: > Systemics provides a BSD licensed (free for commercial and > non-commercial use) java crypto library called cryptix. A slight modification: Systemics provided, in the past tense. It was always the belief of those at Systemics at the time that selling crypto was extremely hard without contacts into big companies (in which case, you weren't selling crypto...). When Cryptix stabilised it was published as freeware with a BSD-style of license, with the hope that other people would pick it up and start to work with it. With the Java library this has happened. There is now a team of between 4 and 10 people, depending on how you count them, scattered across the globe, improving the core Cryptix code. Over the last year or so, we codified the notion of the independant group working around the library as the Cryptix Development Team. That is now spreading through the doco. ( There are a few issues such as copyright and the brand name, which are beyond the scope of this email. Whilst Systemics is not entirely passive in this area, it does not sell Cryptix code, although it might, and does, sell services such as improving Cryptix code. Also, those who work/have worked at Systemics are also part of the team. ) The AES quest is a Cryptix operation. I.e., Cryptix Development Team, and not Systemics. It is a completely unfunded (although sponsorship would be appreciated) and volunteer effort. Whilst the NIST people earn a salary, and most of the cryptographers are employed in this capacity as well, there is no especial interest in employing programmers here, as any rational company will simply wait until the winner is announced, sometime in the next millenium, and then employ an expert at $300 per hour to tell them all about it. Rationally or otherwise, we still need programmers to code up the algorithms and prepare them for submission to NIST. For many cryptographers, it is beyond their efficient capabilities to know much about the downstream discipline, so it makes sense for them to outsource the work to a team like Cryptix, especially as NIST has loaded up the submission requirements with 3 separate implementations. If you're thinking now's the time to branch into Java crypto, read the blurb and mail us. The rational part is that if you start now, you might be earning fat fees in a few years time. > http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/I.Brown/cryptix/aes/AES_crypt.html > http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/I.Brown/cryptix/aes/AES_prog.html -- iang systemics.com FP: 1189 4417 F202 5DBD 5DF3 4FCD 3685 FDDE on pgp.com

God save us from Al Bore. he needed to have a Spiro Agnew in his future, but Janet Reno saved his skin. he is a decent sort, but I just can not handle the left-leaning socialist son-of-a-bitch with his sanctimonious looks --he needs a circuit riding preacher's floppy hat and a mule-- even if he did go to Harvard. on the other hand, if Al Bore goes down, and they can not agree on a vice-president before Clinton either bales or is smoked out, we would have Newt --that might have been acceptable, except I think Newt either sold out or has been intimidated.    <a href="mailto:attila@hun.org"> attila out for the count.... </a></blockquote> January 25, 1998 NYTimes OpEd Columnist LIBERTIES / By MAUREEN DOWD Not Suitable for Children WASHINGTON -- There have been so many people rushing to TV studios in this giddy and cataclysmic week to talk about sex that networks are bringing makeup artists out of retirement. The palaver about whether a 21-year-old White House intern had a particular kind of sex with the President has gotten so graphic that CNN's "Inside Politics" Friday featured a warning that the segment might not be suitable for young viewers. Let's review what we've learned so far. The President a liar? Knew that. The President a philanderer? Knew that. The President reckless in the satisfaction of his appetites? Knew that. The President would say anything and hurt anybody to get out of a mess? Knew that. Married men cheat? Knew that. Married men cheat with young women? Knew that. Married men who cheat with young women lie about it? Knew that. Hillary isn't throwing Bill's stuff out on the White House lawn because she is as committed to their repugnant arrangement as he is? Knew that. The Clinton team -- those great feminists -- devising ways to discredit women who come forward with reports of Clinton peccadilloes? Knew that. The President and his minions dissembling and splitting hairs and playing semantic games and taking forever to find the documents until our attention wanders? Knew that. The President has the moxie to pick out a dress for a woman? Didn't know that. In the delirium of the scandal, something remarkable occurred. The President reportedly admitted, in a deposition to Paula Jones's lawyers, that, oh, yeah, by the way, he did have that affair with Gennifer Flowers, which he so adamantly denied during the '92 campaign. I still remember James Carville ranting at reporters for being low enough to pay any mind to her, calling it cash for trash. How can he go back on TV and defend Mr. Clinton in another sex scandal by once more trying to throw doubt on another damning tape? At least Mr. Carville looked sheepish. Mr. Clinton's famous rapid-response team seems to have bimbo-battle fatigue. The tapes of Monica Lewinsky, now 24, seem believable, not least because we heard it all before with Gennifer Flowers. Helping to get her a new job, telling her to say nothing went on if anyone asked. "Deny it," Mr. Clinton told Ms. Flowers on tape. "That's all. I mean, I expect them to come look into it and interview you and everything. But I just think if everybody's on record denying it, you've got no problem." The whole modus operandi is right there. Also, why did Vernon Jordan become a patron to a lowly Pentagon assistant if she was nothing special to the President? The reality that looms before the American people is not the impeachment of this President. It is the annulment of this President. He has finally determined his own place in history. He will be remembered as the priapic President. The Oval Office appears to be the bachelor pad of a married man who is the Commander in Chief. Like all addicts, this one is surrounded by enablers. Many Americans had accepted Mr. Clinton as a charming rogue. But the portrait that may be pieced together from the confessions of his willing and unwilling women now looks utterly uncharming. Ms. Lewinsky's nickname for him -- "the big creep" -- could stick. The Clinton doctrine may turn out to be nothing more than a view of the relationship of oral sex -- or Oval sex -- to adultery. CNN's Judy Woodruff reported that religious scholars could find no biblical basis for Mr. Clinton's purported claim to an Arkansas trooper that the Bible says oral sex is not cheating. Ted Koppel actually began "Nightline" Thursday with the following sentence: "It may . . . ultimately come down to the question of whether oral sex does or does not constitute adultery." Well, it sure isn't fidelity. When Mr. Clinton says now that he can't answer questions about sex, lies and tapes because he must hurry back to governance, people will want him to hurry back to self-governance instead. </td> <td bgcolor="f0f0a0" align=center valign=middle width=5>   </td> <td bgcolor="f0f0e0" align=center valign=middle width=10>   </td> </tr> <tr height=5> <td bgcolor="f0f0e0" align=center valign=middle width=10>   </td> <td bgcolor="f0f0a0" align=center valign=middle width=5>   </td> <td align=left valign=middle>   </td> <td bgcolor="f0f0a0" align=center valign=middle width=5>   </td> <td bgcolor="f0f0e0" align=center valign=middle width=10>   </td> </tr> </table></center></body></html>

If it's a plastic base then use finger nail polish remover or model cement thinner. How in the hell can you say with a straight face burning paper with alcohol is any more a fire hazard then burning paper? You don't burn the paper while it's in the alcohol bath, but remove it and then burn it. If you try to burn it in the bath what you get is just like gasoline. The fumes burn not the alcohol itself so the paper doesn't get nearly hot enough to do any good. You're making burning paper, additives or not, a lot more complicated than it is. If you're that worried about it go down to your hardware store and buy a hand-held torch. Additives or not that will burn it. Good luck. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | The most powerful passion in life is not love or hate, | | but the desire to edit somebody elses words. | | | | Sign in Ed Barsis' office | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.

Clinton needs a war with Iraq

There are increasing reports, from Washington and Baghdad, that Clinton wants a nice little war action in Iraq, which would have the side effect of boosting his support...or so he hopes. If this happens, it may be time for hackers to use technical means to disrupt the war effort. --Tim May The Feds have shown their hand: they want a ban on domestic cryptography ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.

Re: Sucking Sound...

No, it's the public and press, not the President, who are into denial about the nation's urgent succor. The President's radio address today was solely on Medicare fraud and abuse. http://www.whitehouse.gov/WH/html/1998-01-24.html Lucianne Goldberg's place is down the street and mobbed around the clock with global bloodsuckers. "There is a god," she says, noting fruitless years of the right trying its best to suckerpunch the toke-sucker. Which leads one to wonder who's squeeze gave what to Freeh's on Reno's, Starr's on Freeh's, Reno's on Starr's, that led them to gang up to divert attention to Bill's. Must have been Hillary's, aiming to succotash Al's.

Burning papers

Just for your information, I _WAS_ mistaken. The papers burned really well. My confusion about burnability of papers arose because in the past I tried to burn magazines, and not papers and letters. The whole big box is gone, after two burns. Burning is unquestionably better than shredding. - Igor.

Works fine on Unix and Linux systems if you're not a cookie fan: the remote sites think you've eaten their cookies, but you've merely frisbeed them into the bit bin. It's better than telling Netscape you want to be asked: some sites set a dozen cookies per hit, seems like, and saying "no" to each gets immediately tedious. If you tell Netscape to reject them, some sites won't serve you the content.
