Just a quick update from sixdegrees(tm). Unfortunately Nita Daniel (machita(a)gurlmail.com) asked not to be listed as your contact with sixdegrees. We also wanted to make sure you were aware that you currently have no other confirmed contacts, so it will be hard for you to have a productive sixdegrees experience. As you probably know, without any confirmed contacts, you won't get any results from our networking searches. So, we just wanted to recommend that you head over to http://www.sixdegrees.com , log-in, and go to MY CONTACTS to list additional relationships. ==================================================================== PLEASE NOTE: All replies to this address are processed by a computer.

The intention was simple; that there would never be an 'official' state religion. It didn't say religion had no place. They were escaping a regime with an established state religion that used the goverment to stamp out religious deviationism. That was the sole reason for that clause in the 1st amendment. Brian B.

It is excited via an inductive coupling from an interrogator. The PIT responds to the interrogator via the inductive coupling with a signal constituting a stream of data unique to the identified item. The signal is in the form of two different frequencies, a shift from one frequency to the second during a bit cell representing a data "one", and a shift from the second frequency to the first frequency representing a data "zero". The responsive signal is then detected and processed for utilization in a data storage or display device. Inventors: Milheiser; Thomas A. (Littleton, CO). Assignee: Destron/IDI Inc. (Boulder, CO).

IP: White House decision affects e-mail scrambling software

From: believer(a)telepath.com Subject: IP: White House decision affects e-mail scrambling software Date: Wed, 16 Sep 1998 18:17:36 -0500 To: believer(a)telepath.com Source: Fox News - AP White House decision affects e-mail scrambling software 6.56 p.m. ET (2256 GMT) September 16, 1998 By Ted Bridis, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) The Clinton administration relaxed some restrictions Wednesday on the export of powerful data-scrambling technology a decision that could help Americans who want to guarantee the privacy of their e-mail and other electronic information. The White House said U.S. companies can begin selling high-tech tools overseas that use the so-called 56-bit Data Encryption Standard or its equivalent, which has an unlocking key with 72 quadrillion possible combinations. The government imposes limits on exports of the most powerful scrambling technology now anything above 56-bit because it fears that authorities, even with a judge's permission, won't be able to read the messages of criminals or terrorists. The export limits do not directly affect Americans, who are legally free to use encryption technology of any strength. But U.S. companies are reluctant to develop one version of their technology for domestic use and a weaker overseas version, so they typically sell only the most powerful type that's legal for export, even to Americans. Vice President Al Gore called the new rule's balance between privacy and not helping criminals "probably one of the single-most difficult and complex issues that you can possibly imagine.'' "We must ensure that new technology does not mean new and sophisticated criminal and terrorist activity,'' Gore said. "And we must ensure that the sensitive financial and business transactions that now cruise along the information superhighway are 100 percent safe in cyberspace.'' Privacy advocates, though, derided Wednesday's announcement as a modest step, noting that a non-profit group of researchers demonstrated earlier this summer it can unscramble a 56-bit coded message in just days. Experts have suggested that scrambling sensitive e-mail or online credit-card transactions using less than 90 bits is vulnerable, while most experts consider 128-bit encryption practically unbreakable. Some companies that sell encryption products nonetheless praised the announcement. The president of the Business Software Alliance, Robert Holleyman, called it "a significant improvement over what we have today.'' The administration previously limited the export of 40-bit encryption technology, which has more than 1 trillion combinations. "It's a step but it's a small step,'' said Alan Davidson, an encryption expert for the Washington-based Center for Democracy and Technology. "We're worried that 56 bits is not enough.'' Barry Steinhardt, president of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a San Francisco-based civil liberties group, said: "We assume this is done to throw a bone to industry at a time when the administration needs all the friends it can get.'' "But it's half a step, and it continues to rely on dangerous technologies,'' he said. The White House also said Wednesday that it will allow U.S. companies to use unlimited-strength encryption to communicate with their subsidiaries in all countries except seven terrorist nations: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Sudan, North Korea and Cuba. It also agreed to allow U.S. encryption companies to sell the most powerful scrambling tools overseas to insurance companies and health and medical organizations in more than 40 countries. And the administration said it will establish a technical support center for federal, state and local authorities who might be confronted with criminals using encryption. In June, the Electronic Frontier Foundation used a custom-built computer worth less than $250,000 to crack a 56-bit encrypted message in less than three days to win an industry contest. The EFF published a book describing exactly how to build a replica of its code-breaking computer. © 1998 Associated Press.

From: Richard Sampson <rjsa(a)sprintmail.com> Subject: IP: ****British Police Attempt To Sidestep E-mail Protection Date: Wed, 16 Sep 1998 14:15:28 -0400 To: "ignition-point(a)majordomo.pobox.com" <ignition-point(a)majordomo.pobox.com> ****British Police Attempt To Sidestep E-mail Protection LONDON, ENGLAND, 1998 SEP 16 (Newsbytes) -- By Steve Gold, Newsbytes. Newsbytes' sources have revealed that the Metropolitan Police have been holding a series of low-key discussions with major Internet service providers (ISPs) in the UK, aiming to streamline police access to e-mail and ISP user logs. According to one reliable source, the aim of the discussions is to develop a ground-breaking agreement between the police and ISPs so that, where the police have reasonable suspicion that an individual is sending or receiving e-mail, or downloading images that involve paedophilia, then they can formally request full details of the Internet user's mailbox and system logs, for example, from the ISP in question. While the aim of the project is to avoid the need for police to obtain a formal court order to access the ISP's computer systems, Newsbytes expects there to be a massive outcry from civil libertarian groups, since the police order could well be implemented against anyone with an account with a British ISP. Newsbytes understands that an expose on the police plans will be broadcast on Channel 4 news at 19:00 hours on British television this evening. Newsbytes' sources suggest that British ISPs are under immense pressure to comply with the police system since, if they do not comply and request a court order, the police could theoretically impound their computer systems, effectively putting an ISP out of action, and perhaps business, for an unknown period of time. "While I can understand the police wanting to gain access to Internet users' files who are accessing the Net for paedophile images, this does seem something of a steamroller approach," said one industry source who spoke to Newsbytes after agreeing anonymity. Newsbytes notes that a major flaw exists in the British police's modus operandi for the proposed system, since the e-mail file servers for America Online (AOL) and CompuServe (AOL is the UK's largest ISP) are held in the US. Only the company's sales and support operations are located in the UK. "It will be interesting to see how the management of AOL and CompuServe in the US react to the news that they have to willingly hand over user logs and e-mail files to the British police," said the anonymous source. As has been proven by various cases in the US, the normal legal protection afforded postal and telephone communications by anti- wiretap legislation is not automatically extended to include e-mail. In the UK, it had been thought that the Interception of Communications Act might apply to e-mail, but the law relating to e-mail remains unproven, Newsbytes notes.

From: believer(a)telepath.com Subject: IP: Biometrics: SAC Tech: Complete Electronic Security Solution Date: Wed, 16 Sep 1998 12:02:58 -0500 To: believer(a)telepath.com Source: PR Newswire http://www.prnewswire.com SAC Technologies Showcases Complete Electronic Security Solution Company To Unveil Next Generation Biometrics Technology Prototype Product at Security 2001 Conference NEW YORK, Sept. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- SAC Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: SACM), a biometrics technology development company, today announced the Company will unveil a manufacturing prototype of its fully integrated solution for electronic security applications through biometrics identification technology at the September 16-17, 1998 Westergaard/Mallon Security 2001 Conference in New York. "A recent survey by the American Society for Industrial Security noted that losses due to intellectual theft have reached almost $300 billion," according to SAC CEO Mr. Barry Wendt. "Computer security is a major concern with electronic commerce, Internet transactions, on-line banking and security in general. Unlike other security measures such as PIN numbers, passwords or tokens which can easily be lost, stolen or forgotten, biometrics technology is based on an individual's physical characteristics, such as a fingerprint, so it requires the physical presence of an authorized user." SAC Technologies, Inc. plans to introduce the next evolution of its SACcat(TM) product at the two-day investment conference. Bundled with 'best of breed' biometrics technology consisting of fingerprint identification, voice verification and facial recognition, SACcat(TM) features software applications of computer log-on, screen-saver, and desktop security and configuration. Additional integrated software applications will include Bio-Key(TM) secured video teleconferencing and video e-mail and SAC_Secure(TM) for selectively encrypting program applications, data files and network communications using Certicom Corp.'s elliptic curve engine. At the heart of SAC's biometric identification technology is the Company's "Vector Line Type" Algorithm (VLTA) considered by some to be the most robust, reliable, scaleable and discriminating algorithm available today. VLTA represents a true paradigm shift from current industry minutiae-based methods of storing and analyzing fingerprints. VLTA processes the entire pattern of the fingerprint to derive a list of vector line types and their associated relationships. These unique characteristics of the fingerprint are subsequently transformed into a vector line type mathematical model or Bio-Key(TM), which is highly unique and easy to process for comparative purposes. Unlike biometric verification (one-to-one matching) processes produced by its competitors which require an additional identifier (pin number, token or password), SAC's technology provides for true, real-time identification (one-to-many) -- the process of comparing the biometric characteristics of an unknown individual against characteristics stored in a database to determine their identity. SAC's certified biometric identification technology can provide the necessary discrimination to determine the identity of a user and thereby insure the integrity of an application by eliminating the possibility of 'aliases' (multiple identities). SAC is the first, and currently remains the only, company in the world to earn the International Computer Security Association's (ICSA) biometric 'identification' certification. "This latest version of the SACcat(TM) product is a 'turn-key,' cost-effective hardware and software biometrics security and convenience solution for individual computer workstations and networks," said Mr. Wendt. "We believe that SACcat(TM) is an ideal complement to computer network security suites provided by such companies as Network Associates, Secure Computing, Check Point and Security Dynamics." "Within a year from now I am convinced that consumers will be asking whether biometrics security is included in their information systems and computer applications. Companies who do not add biometric security to their product offerings will lose market share. Compaq, one of the world's largest providers of PCs, will have a biometrics peripheral product available this fall. Other computer providers could gain competitive advantage by negotiating an exclusive license with the Company to manufacture, embed and distribute SACcat(TM) technology," added Mr. Wendt. Companies interested in SAC Technologies' SACcat(TM) biometric security solution should contact Mr. Barry Wendt at 708-798-9777 or for more information on the Company check out its website at http://www.sacman.com. Safe Harbor Statement Statements contained herein, other than historical data, may be forward-looking and are subject to risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to the Company's ability to successfully integrate its technology with other technologies, and its ability to achieve its sales and marketing plans while effectively managing costs and expenses, as well as those risks set forth in the Company's 10KSB, 10QSB, and other SEC filings.

From: believer(a)telepath.com Subject: IP: Redesigned $20 Bills Debut Sept. 24 Date: Wed, 16 Sep 1998 10:08:59 -0500 To: believer(a)telepath.com Source: Department of Defense http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Sep1998/n09151998_9809157.html [Note: Images at this site if you want to look at the new bill.] Redesigned $20 Bills Debut Sept. 24 By Rudi Williams American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON - The government rolls out its new redesigned high- tech, tough-to-copy $20 bill worldwide Sept. 24. Revamped $50 and $100 notes are already in circulation. The $20 bill, though, is key to thwarting counterfeiters, because it's the most widely circulated "big bill" and the most counterfeited, Secret Service spokeswoman Chaun Yount said. The Secret Service -- the organization that guards the president -- is the Treasury Department unit that oversees counterfeiting issues. Both sides of the redesigned $20 bills include numerous anti-counterfeiting measures, she said. Security features include embedded threads with micro-printing; a watermark; a large, off-center portrait of President Andrew Jackson with micro-printed words and hard-to-copy engraved details; the Federal Reserve seal; and color-shifting ink. Yount said people are the first line of defense against counterfeiting. People need to be familiar with the new twenties because they'll be seeing a lot of them, she said. According to U.S. Treasury figures, the mints print $20 notes in numbers second only to $1 notes. "We always have $20 bills in our pocket, if we're lucky," she noted. "The general public pays little attention to the $20 bill because it's the most commonly used note. Counterfeiters look at that as an opportunity. They like twenties because of their 'nice profit margin'" -- they have the highest face value that doesn't draw most people's attention, and passable fake twenties cost no more to make than fake fives and tens. "People who are passing counterfeit money are looking for a high volume of cash," she said. "They target people who are rushed and don't take time to authenticate the bills." She said military people are not typical targets of counterfeiters. However, the Treasury Department has been working with possible targets, such as the military exchange services, to train employees on the look and security features of the new $20 bill. In 1995, $231 million worth of counterfeit U.S. money was seized worldwide, Yount noted. That dropped to $64 million in 1996 and 1997 after the similarly redesigned $100 and $50 notes were introduced. She said the new notes will spread as fast as financial institutions order $20 bills and circulate them. "So for some time, the old and new $20 bills will circulate at the same time," she noted. "As the old $20 bills wear out, they'll be replaced with the new ones. The life of a $20 bill is about two years." Treasury officials are working on new, high-tech $1, $5 and $10 notes with anti-counterfeiting features. For more information about redesigned U.S. currency, visit the Treasury Department Web sites at www.treas.gov or www.moneyfactory.com/currency/20.cfm.

The unconstitutional takes a little longer." --Henry Kissinger TODAY's COMMUNIQUE ================== Satellite offers spy pictures by credit card ============================================ First a little on the handy... BIG BROTHER WATCHING Has anybody thought about the fact why Goverments are pushing the GSM-Handys so much. More and more people will change over to the "handy" Handy, not thinking that this system is utterly unsafe. There are various A5 chips build-in which supposed to encrypt the conversation between the Handy and the nearby station. This encryption - if there is any at all - can be switched off and is a 4 Bit Kode which can be cracked in Minutes. But the biggest danger was exposed by the (Swiss) Berner Sonntagszeitung which wrote that the Swisscom - which really belongs to AT&T or another US-company (a subsidiary of the CIA/MOSSAD) is collecting data from every GSM-User and the movement of the owner for at least 6 Months (Bewegungs-Profile). The owner of a GSM Handy can be located with the GPS (General Position System and Sattelites) within few Meters, no matter if he uses the Phones or not. The complete German Text (article) you will find on the Ostara-Website http://www.ostara.org/autor/gsm.txt The question is now what can we do, because the same "big brother" things are going on everywhere and nobody knows who is exchanging data with whom. Not only the owner of the GSM will be recorded, but also the telefon Nr. of the receiver. And this warning goes even more for people using ISDN which is no problem to hack into. The Story of the LOTUS-NOTES where the US-Goverment holds the decryption key is well known by now - hopefully. If you have to use a Handy, use a anonymous Credit-card Handy where you can buy the cards in any communication shop with cash (no bankcredit-card). 30.12.1997 fwd from: Satellite offers spy pictures by credit card By Robert Uhlig, Technology Correspondent Electronic Telegraph UK. THE first civilian spy satellite will soon allow anyone with a credit card to peek into a neighbour's garden or a highly secret military base for as little as engl. Pounds 200,- EarlyBird 1, the first commercial spacecraft to use recently declassified spy technology, was successfully launched from a military base in eastern Russia last week, ending the 40-year monopoly of the world's most advanced military and intelligence services on gathering high-resolution pictures from space. EarthWatch Inc, the satellite's owner, confirmed yesterday that, subject to a last calibration and alignment test, it was ready to start broadcasting clandestine pictures from its orbit 295 miles above Earth. With the exception of the governments of Cuba, North Korea, Libya, Iraq and Iran, anybody can order highly-detailed images from anywhere in the world, for as little as 31.80 per square foot, subject to a 3200 minimum order. The sharpest commercial satellite images available now capture features no smaller than 33ft across, good enough for media pictures of the Tiananmen Square massacre but not detailed enough for covert examinations of neighbours' activities. However, once EarlyBird 1 starts taking pictures, customers will be able to control it via the Internet and place orders for black-and-white pictures that will show features as small as 10ft across. EarthWatch promises that pictures will be taken and sent to customers within two days of receiving the target co-ordinates. "It's detailed enough to distinguish a car from a truck, or to measure the size of a neighbour's extension," said Bob Wientzen, an EarthWatch spokesman. Colour pictures will also be offered, but with a resolution of only within 45ft. Most of the time, the satellite is expected to focus on targets related to town planning, map-making, disaster relief or mining. It will also allow the media and the public to scrutinise environmental and military crises. Some industry experts expect the biggest customers to be foreign governments and intelligence agencies who do not have access to spy satellite networks of their own. Companies in India, Israel, Russia, China and America plan to launch a further generation of spy satellites capable of distinguishing objects with a diameter of about three feet. --=====================_883451814==_-- http://TeamInfinity.com/~ralph/dl.html Electric Eye in the Sky is a song by ?

Develop and expose I feed upon your every thought And so my power grows. Protected... Detective... Electric Eye... If you would like to hear this song, please ask. In our neck of the woods, We have a new system called "Aggressive Driving Imaging" but the state will not divulge details of this system to us. I thought we paid their salaries, etc, how can they "not disclose the details of the system to us". With the numerous "Red Light" cameras ($50,000 a piece $5000 to install) up that automagically mail tickets to the OWNER of the car that ran the light, you will have friends and family (who borrowed the car) being forced to testify against themselves to prevent the owner from being deprived of his property. Since same cannot be forced to bear witness against themself, where is the due process that must precede the taking of the owners property, however small it may start out to be ? Keep in mind that if there is no victim there is no crime, and that you should always be able to face your accuser, and that the state cannot sue or be sued, fair is fair right ? i.e. the plaintiff MUST be an individual of flesh and blood. Also the right to travel by the means available in your day, is a RIGHT, not a priviledge, and as such CANNOT be licensed or taxed or infringed in any manner whatsoever against your will if noncommercial.

I stop by the convenience store for coffee and newspapers. On the grainy screen of a boxy monitor behind the clerk, I catch a glimpse of a tiny figure that, after a moment, I realize represents me. Opening my wallet reminds me that I'm as short of cash as usual, so I stop at the ATM. Through a one-way mirror, a video camera is recording the transaction. I drive along New Jersey's Route 3 toward New York City, quite possibly under the video observation of the New Jersey State Police, my state being one of several that have tested remote stations that capture radar-gun readings and license-plate numbers and mail out speeding tickets.

Atop a huge billboard advertising the company's camcorders is the "Panasonic Traffic Cam," an absurdly tiny device that perches like an insect above a sign bearing the face of a white-knuckled driver. The driver looks a bit like the late John Candy - all exasperation as the kids behind him quibble and scream. I can tune the radio to 1010 WINS to hear what the camera sees: in a cunning marketing tie-in, I get "reports from the Panasonic Traffic Cam high above the helix - there's a 15 minute delay at the Lincoln...."

Just a quick update from sixdegrees(tm). Unfortunately Isaac Lee (zac(a)pulp-fiction.com) asked not to be listed as your contact with sixdegrees. We also wanted to make sure you were aware that you currently have no other confirmed contacts, so it will be hard for you to have a productive sixdegrees experience. As you probably know, without any confirmed contacts, you won't get any results from our networking searches. So, we just wanted to recommend that you head over to http://www.sixdegrees.com , log-in, and go to MY CONTACTS to list additional relationships. ==================================================================== PLEASE NOTE: All replies to this address are processed by a computer.

DARPA Hires NetAss/TIS TO Develop Secure DNS
by Bill Stewart 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

This is somewhat tacky. SecureDNS exists, and TIS got export approval a while back to publish a "bones" version, minus encryption routines. John Gilmore and his lawyer decided that, since it only does authentication, not message encryption, it should be ok to publish _with_ the crypto algorithms, and it's been quietly sitting on his web pages. Recently the Feds sent him a letter saying "Oh, no, we didn't mean it was OK to publish/export this encryption-based authentication system just because the law says you can, so stop it".... Now they're paying for another version. Are they going to try something DSS-based instead of RSA, just so you don't need encryption-capable crypto with it, or is this going to be another scam? Or is it just different parts of the Feds not talking to each other?

Predictions: Crime and Criminal Justice in the 21st Century
by User of DOOM 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Predictions: Crime and Criminal Justice in the 21st Century 1. The United States will experience a significant economic recession/crisis very close to the turn of the Century. 2. As the large pool of young people born in the early 1990s become teenagers and young adults, there will be a dramatic increase in violent crime around the year 2005-2010. 3. America will experience sporadic civil disorders/riots in many of its urban areas during the next 10-15 years -- much of it related to racial/ethnic problems. 4. Terrorist acts by "fringe"/special issue groups will increase at a significant rate -- becoming a major law enforcement and security problem. 5. As faith in the criminal justice system declines, there will be a rise in vigilante-based incidents where citizens take the enforcement of crime problems into their own hands. 6. Much of middle- and upper-class America will take a "retreatist" attitude and move into private high-security communities located in suburban or rural areas. Because of technological advances, many companies and corporations will also move out of the urban environments as well. 7. Due to many of the predictions listed above, much of law enforcement and security in the 21st Century will become privatized and contractual. Traditional law enforcement agencies will primarily serve urban and rural communities. 8. Law enforcement will evolve into two major and divergent roles: traditional law enforcement and a more specialized military tactical role to deal with the growing urban violance and terrorist incidents. 9. Significant violence and unrest will plague our nation's prisons. Major prison riots will become a regular occurrence. 10. With the decrease of the possibility of major global warfare, the United States military will take on an increased domestic "peace-keeping" role with America's law enforcement agencies.

looking around on various crypto sites I can't find any hashes ported to dos/win that are already compiled is anyone out there aware of a place with a copy o MD5 or SHA1 and my second question, I was also curious about PGP. In the latest version (cyberknights build) You can use 8kbits DH key or a 16Kbits RSA key, In my reasoning I would think that since DH was out before RSA and RSA was chosen for the first releases of PGP why switch to DH now, if it was better why not start out using that?

British Police Attempt To Sidestep E-mail Protection
by Marty Levy 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

British Police Attempt To Sidestep E-mail Protection http://www.newsbytes.com/pubNews/118135.html (09/16/98); 12:22 PM CST By Steve Gold, Newsbytes LONDON, ENGLAND, Steve Gold, Newsbytes. Newsbytes' sources have revealed that the Metropolitan Police have been holding a series of low-key discussions with major Internet service providers (ISPs) in the UK, aiming to streamline police access to e-mail and ISP user logs. According to one reliable source, the aim of the discussions is to develop a ground-breaking agreement between the police and ISPs so that, where the police have reasonable suspicion that an individual is sending or receiving e-mail, or downloading images that involve paedophilia, then they can formally request full details of the Internet user's mailbox and system logs, for example, from the ISP in question. While the aim of the project is to avoid the need for police to obtain a formal court order to access the ISP's computer systems, Newsbytes expects there to be a massive outcry from civil libertarian groups, since the police order could well be implemented against anyone with an account with a British ISP. Newsbytes understands that an expose on the police plans will be broadcast on Channel 4 news at 19:00 hours on British television this evening. Newsbytes' sources suggest that British ISPs are under immense pressure to comply with the police system since, if they do not comply and request a court order, the police could theoretically impound their computer systems, effectively putting an ISP out of action, and perhaps business, for an unknown period of time. "While I can understand the police wanting to gain access to Internet users' files who are accessing the Net for paedophile images, this does seem something of a steamroller approach," said one industry source who spoke to Newsbytes after agreeing anonymity. Newsbytes notes that a major flaw exists in the British police's modus operandi for the proposed system, since the e-mail file servers for America Online (AOL) and CompuServe (AOL is the UK's largest ISP) are held in the US. Only the company's sales and support operations are located in the UK. "It will be interesting to see how the management of AOL and CompuServe in the US react to the news that they have to willingly hand over user logs and e-mail files to the British police," said the anonymous source. As has been proven by various cases in the US, the normal legal protection afforded postal and telephone communications by anti- wiretap legislation is not automatically extended to include e-mail. In the UK, it had been thought that the Interception of Communications Act might apply to e-mail, but the law relating to e-mail remains unproven, Newsbytes notes.

SecDef on Crypto, Privacy
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Excerpt from DoD transcription of Secretary of Defense Cohen's remarks at the Council on Foreign Relations, New York City, September 14, 1998: [Begin] Let me say one other thing about terrorism. We in this country much recognize the tension which will exist as you ask us, and we will ask all successor administrations, to protect us. And you say, how do you protect someone against terrorists? It means increased intelligence. It means increased intelligence, having greater capability on the ground or from national technical sources to find out who is planning and plotting what at what place and what time. To do that is going to put us in somewhat of a direct conflict with rights to privacy, something that we hold very dear in this country. So the more intelligence-gathering responsibilities that any administration is going to have, there's going to come a point of tension and, indeed, friction between how much are you willing to give up in order to be secure. Those are the kind of unpleasant choices that are going to be manifesting themselves in the near future. We haven't really faced up to it yet. We're starting to see some of that conflict at least intellectually develop when you see the manufacturers of software who don't like the fact that the law enforcement, the FBI, the Justice Department wants to have some method of getting into encrypted technology. You say, "Wait a minute, that's my right of privacy. I'm a businessman or woman. I want to be able to send information out over those -- those airwaves and have them completely protected." Our Justice Department says, "Wait a minute, you want us to protect you. But you're allowing criminal elements, terrorists and others -- organized crime, drug cartels -- to encrypt their telecommunications to the point where don't know what's going on. And then something is going to happen, and you'll say, where were you?" So those are the kinds of tensions that are going to continue to exist. But we're going to have to have more intelligence to effectively deal with terrorism in the future. [End excerpt] Full transcript: http://jya.com/wsc091498.htm (49K)

Actualy this is a straw man. Very few Christians claim Buddhist, Muslim, etc. are satan worshipers, Satan is a Christian ephigy. What they *do* claim is that those folks are worshipping false idols and as a result won't gain access to heaven at death. Vasty different than your claim. > Forget about the > origination of the word, There's your first problem, your argument won't stand in the traditional architecture of society so you want to try to get me to throw it away. This causes all terms, ideas, etc. to become irrelevant in effect forcing me to play from a vacuum. Won't do it. Though it's a nice ploy on your part. > in today's reality most atheists simply forgo > religion completely. A personal philosophy is a religion, different words but same idea. If your thesis is that for something to be a religion it requires some sort of social approval you miss the whole point. Even Jesus recognized that a persons religion didn't rely on a 'church' and the implied infrastructure. This is the reason he told his listeners to pray in a closet alone. > There is no reason to think that a god does exist, so why would one even > need to think about or believe in the negative. There is no reason to believe one doesn't either. If we take your claim at face value you need to demonstrate your test that shows the irrelevancy of god. God is not a belief in a negative, another straw man, but rather a mechanism or expression of human psychology and the need for humans to find patterns (ie reason) in things. > > Ah, so there are personal beliefs that aren't religion and > > then there are personal beliefs that are? > > Yes, beliefs based on valid reason, Ah, another of your mistakes. Religion and by extension faith are not constrained by reason or logic. It's this realisation that puts some issues and aspect of human inquiry outside of the reach of science, logic, etc. > empiricism and science are not > religious, the generally follow the path from conjecture to theory to > fact. If you're a pantheist they're the only religion (aka personal philosophy) you've got. Shortcomings in your imagination are not a reflection upon the rest of the cosmos. > You may hold lots of personal conjecture that do qualify as > beliefs but are not religious in nature, they are not exempt from > empirical evidence and the laws of thermodynamics. Beliefs based on > faith and mysticism are religious. Religion is irrational. No, only some religions are irrational. The point you're missing is not one of rationality or irrationality but rather transcendance. ____________________________________________________________________ The seeker is a finder.

Mobile phone tracking, pagers, etc
by Matthew James Gering 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Regarding the tracking of mobile phones, are all current types of phones susceptible? There was a recent post here regarding tracking of GSM phones. TDMA/CDMA, analog/digital, PCS-band, etc, are they all equally capable of being tracked? However pagers are not, correct? They just broadcast an entire area to page instead of the pager keeping the network informed of their location. One thing I have long wondered: Why don't they make phones that "wake-up" by a paging signal and then accept the call? It might increase the connect time significantly, but it would also increase the potential stand-by time indefinitely, and the location of the user is only exposed when calls are in progress, not while the phone is on stand-by. Are there any paging services (particularly alpha paging) that work on a global scale? You would think daily pager rental service (esp. at airports) would be popular. You could have an email address, even a static phone number, that could re-route messages to any pager that you happen to have at the time (PSTN-IP-PSTN, or even easier if the pager service gives SMTP addresses, which most do these days). Similarly a PSTN-IP-PSTN interface for voice could give you a static phone number that you could dynamically forward anywhere untraceably. BTW, why are most businesses so hostile to pseudonyms? I go to rent a mailbox, paid 1 yr. in advance with cash, and they still want two pieces of photo ID to copy. Matt
