Friday 7/31/98 8:23 AM John Young I am reading parts of http://www.jya.com/cracking-des.htm#foreword. Bill Goldrick and I talked on the phone several days ago. Goldrick had been reading about Cracking DES at jya.com. Goldrick reminded me that in the late 1980s that NSA employee Mark Unkenholtz told me and others at Sandia that NSA had broken DES. Unkenholtz is the Mark mentioned at http://jya.com/da/whpda.htm Appendix S. Amy Johnston, cc, was Mark Unkenholtzs fiancee. I faxed the Hern DRAFT letter to her for reason that NSA did not have an unclassified fax machine readily available. For those who might want to get Sandia crypto history right "The First Ten Years of Public Key Cryptography," Proceedings of the IEEE, 76(5), May 1988. referenced at http://www.aci.net/kalliste/nukearse.htm, Goldrick 1 was supervisor of Mark Schaefer who build the second CTBT seismic data authenticator http://jya.com/da/whpda.htm I used Schaefers TEMPEST design schematics. 2 supervised deployment of the seismic stations in Hamar Norway. This is detailed in William Burrows book Deep Black. 3 supervised Jim Walkup who was responsible for placing the CTBT data authenticator described at http://jya.com/da/whpda.htm in the field. date: September 11, 1991 to: Bill Payne, 9236 [Signature] from: James Walkup, 9233 subject: DSVS authenticator records 4 handled recall of some CLASSIFIED algorithm eprom chips that somehow made their way into the field in 3. NSA believes that the STEP size and non-linear feedback function are CLASSIFIED SECRET/NSI. http://jya.com/da/whpda.htm The NSA R register feedback function is classified. For each data bit processed, both the F and R registers are stepped multiple times. The number of steps is classified. But we ALL now know the CLASSIFIED SECRET/NSI value is 31. http://jya.com/nsasuit.txt 5 rejected NSA employee Donald Simards http://jya.com/nsasuit.txt order to deploy the classified algorithm. Simard told Goldrick that NSA would DECLASSIFY Benincasa's algorithm LATER. Lets all hope for settlement of the unfortunate matter before it gets WORSE. I want to revise my book http://www.apcatalog.com/cgi-bin/AP?ISBN=0125475705&LOCATION=US&FORM=FORM2 It has been over about 27 years since I directed any Ph.D. students http://www-hto.usc.edu/software/seqaln/doc/html/gfsr.3.html http://www.friction-free-economy.com/ http://www.mhpcc.edu/general/john.html Perhaps I should get back into the business of directing and participating in Ph.D thesis work? I have some GREAT Ph.D. thesis topic ideas in the area of FORTH is applicable to hardware intensive projects implemented by one, two, or three workers. Robots, computer numerical controlled machines, weapons programmers, cryptographic processors, engine controllers, unmanned observatories, computer hardware debuggers, laser printer graphics controllers, video games, work station device drivers, writing BASICs are all candidates for FORTH software technology. FORTH is a one of the top choices for embedded controller applications. Later bill

The 'Secret Service With A Smile' chapter of SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS!!! was sent to the CypherPunks Disturbed Male LISP as secret.as1 --> secret.as7 earlier today. It is a DOS .prn file, which is the only type of copy I could save with the FAX software I am using. I was forced to delete the original text file from the computer I was using, but the Secret Service has copies of it, so anyone who wishes the original text file can contact: United States Secret Service Jeremy A.C.

Top Ten Things You Don't Want To Tell The Secret Service When They Visit _____________________________ SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS!!! 10. You're here about the VOICES, aren't you? They *told* me you were coming... 9. Look, pal, I don't even know who the President *was*... I mean...*is*... Uuhhh...is it 10:15 in DC yet? 8. Do either of you guys know where the 'yellow' wire goes? 7. The First Lady's butt looks pretty good through a 'scope', eh? 6. You must have me confused with my brother, MadDog...the *good* son... 5. Could you put this around my forearm, give it a twist, and then pull it really tight? Hey, don't bump the spoon! 4. *Which* death threat? Unless you're going to be more specific, you're just wasting my time and yours. 3. 'One Bullet, One Vote' bumperstickers are meant as *humor*? You're schitting me, right? 2.

Friday 7/31/98 11:40 AM John Young I am looking at http://www.jya.com/raid98.htm Dacier asked me why NSA/Sandia was concerned about what each bit in an executable image did when I was in his office in Zurich in April 1997. Spiking, of course. A SECRET OTHER FUNCTION to a device. http://caq.com/cryptogate http://www.aci.net/kalliste/speccoll.htm NSA/Sandia doesnt trust its own employees! On the other hand, NSA/Sandia employees dont trust NSA/Sandia either. The REAL WORLD again. IBM Zurich was BIG into Java. Network World, July 20, 1998 page 6 The incredible shrinking Java alliance By Chris Nerney and Andy Eddy A year ago there were four of them, members of a new alliance touting a potent new weapon designed to end Microsoft Corp.'s growing dominance in the computing industry. Now the Java Gang of Four is the Gang of Two and a Half. Java creator Sun Microsystems, Inc., of course, is still fully committed to the programming language, as is IBM. ... Not looking good for Java future. Java is similar to FORTH. FORTH executes super-slow on high-level in most machines. About 10% of the speed of a compiled-language program - such as Visual Basic. Specialized Forth and Java machine can be made to run fast. http://groucho.gsfc.nasa.gov/forth/ and http://www.ptsc.com/ But I am not confident Java or Forth machines are going anywhere. May be hard to get parts in the future. But I'm confident about the 80C32 supply! http://www.apcatalog.com/cgi-bin/AP?ISBN=0125475705&LOCATION=US&FORM=FORM2 Let's hope this UNFORTUNATE matter http://jya.com/whpfiles.htm gets settled soon so that we can move on to constructive projects. Later bill /\/\/\ Marc Since I was working the OTHER SIDE of Recent Advances in Intrusion Detection for the FBI, I might be able to give a nice talk about what the US government is REALLY UP TO on defeating intrusion detection! I am not reading e-mail. best bill Hi Matthias! Counterfeiting Wiegand Wire Access Credentials Bill Payne October 16,1996 Abstract Wiegand wire access credentials are easy and inexpensive to counterfeit. Access Control & Security Systems Integration magazine, October 1996 [http://www/securitysolutions.com] published the article, Wiegand technology stands the test of time by PAUL J. BODELL, page 12 Many card and reader manufacturers offer Wiegand (pronounced wee-gand) output. However, only three companies in the world make Wiegand readers. Sensor Engineering of Hamden Conn., holds the patent for Wiegand, and Sensor has licensed Cardkey of Simi Valley, Calif., and Doduco of Pforzheim, Germany, to manufacture Wiegand cards and readers. ... A Wiegand output reader is not the same thing as a Wiegand reader, and it is important to understand the differences. In brief, Wiegand reader use the Wiegand effect to translate card information around the patented Wiegand effect in which a segment of a specially treated wire generates an electronic pulse when subjected to a specific magnetic field. If the pulse is generated when the wire is near a pick-up coil, the pulse can be detected by a circuit. Lining up several rows of wires and passing them by a cold would generate a series of pulses. Lining up two rows of wires - calling on row "zero bits" and the other "one bits" - and passing them by two different coils would generate two series of pulses, or data bits. These data bits can then be interpreted as binary data and used to control other devices. If you seal the coils in a rugged housing with properly placed magnets, and LED and some simple circuitry, you have a Wiegand reader. Carefully laminate the special wires in vinyl, and artwork, and hot-stamp a number on the vinyl, and you have a Wiegand card. IN THE BEGINNING Wiegand was first to introduce to the access control market in the late 1970s. It was immediately successful because it filled the need for durable, secure card and reader technology. Embedded in the cards, Wiegand wires cannot be altered or duplicated. ... Bodell's Last statement is incorrect. Tasks for EASILY counterfeiting Wiegand wire cards are 1 Locate the wires inside the card to read the 0s and 1s. 2 Build an ACCEPTABLE copy of the card. Bodell's clear explanation of the working of a Wiegand card can be visualized zero row | | | one row | | binary 0 1 0 0 1 representation Solutions to Task 1 A X-ray the card B MAGNI VIEW FILM, Mylar film reads magnetic fields ... Edmunds Scientific Company, catalog 16N1, page 205, C33,447 $11.75 is placed over the top of the Wiegand card. COW MAGNET, Cow magnetics allow farmers to trap metal in the stomachs of their cows. Edmunds, page 204, C31,101 $10.75 is placed under the card. Location of the wires is easily seen on the green film. Mark the position of the wires with a pen. Next chop the card vertically using a shear into about 80/1000s paper-match-sized strips. Don't worry about cutting a wire or two. Note that a 0 has the pen mark to the top. A 1 has the pen mark at the bottom. Take a business card and layout the "paper match"-like strips to counterfeit the card number desired. Don't worry about spacing. Wiegand output is self-clocking! Tape the "paper-match - like" strips to the business card. Only the FUNCTION of the card needs to be reproduced! History Breaking electronic locks was done as "work for others" at Sandia National Laboratories beginning in 1992 funded by the Federal Bureau of Investigation/Engineering Research Facility, Quantico, VA. The FBI opined that this work was SECRET/NATIONAL SECURITY INFORMATION. Details of the consequences of this work are covered in Fired Worker File Lawsuit Against Sandia Specialist Says He Balked When Lab Sought Electronic Picklock Software, Albuquer Journal, Sunday April 25, 1993 State-sanctioned paranoia, EE Times, January 22, 1996 One man's battle, EE Times, March 22, 1994 Damn the torpedoes, EE Times, June 6, 1994 Protecting properly classified info, EE Times, April 11, 1994 DOE to scrutinize fairness in old whistle-blower cases, Albuquerque Tribune, Nov 7 1995 DOE boss accelerates whistle-blower protection, Albuquerque Tribune, March 27, 1996 DOE doesn't plan to compensate 'old' whistle-blowers with money, Albuquerque Tribune September 27, 199

It strikes me as alarming at times, when considering the condition of civil liberties in this country and just how close government tries to shave off freedoms that are not *explicit* in the bill of rights, how poorer our liberties would be defended without those ten, basic amendments; and further, that they were added as an after thought, ridiculed by many, demanded by some, but they have proven to be one of the last lines of defence between our liberties and this centralised, law making den in Washington. These ten are not nearly enough. Richard Storey

Refining entropy
by David Honig 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

This essay addresses the question, How can we improve the output of a bad true RNG? By "true RNG" I mean a source of unpredictability, which necessarily derives from an analog measurement. By "bad" RNG I mean that its output does not carry one bit of information per binary symbol. This means that not all output symbols are equiprobable. Methods to improve various properties of RNGs are called conditioning algorithms. I had begun by thinking that, since the output of a block cipher in feedback mode (ie, a stream cipher) is uniformly distributed ("white") that it would be sufficient conditioning to feed a bad RNG into a block cipher with feedback. Here, the bad RNG would kick the cipher out of the fixed, but key-dependant, sequence it would otherwise generate. But it bothered me that I was producing more apparently-random bits than I actually had negentropy. On cypherpunks, Bill Stewart mentioned using hashes instead of ciphers. A hash is like a cipher in that changing any input or key bit changes the output unpredictably, but a hash is irreversible because there are fewer output bits than input bits. The simplest hash is a one-bit parity; MD5 is a more expensive keyed hashing function used for message authentication. Thinking about a hash instead of a cipher was interesting because now we reduce the number of output bits, which if done right, could improve the information carried by each binary digit. We take the MAC of an imperfect random number and toss the original random, retaining the MAC as our better random value. Can we get an analytic handle on this? Let's take Mr. Shannon's measure of information over a discrete alphabet. The average amount of information per symbol is the (negation of the) sum of the probabilities of each symbol times the log base 2 of that probability. If we have two symbols, A and B, and each occurs half the time, we have 1/2 * log (1/2) + 1/2 * log(1/2) = -1 = 1 bit, which is what we expect. If symbol A occurs, say, 3 times more often than B, we get: 3/4* log(3/4) + 1/4*log(1/4) = 3/4(log 3 - 2) + -2/4 = 3/4 log 3 - 6/4 - 2/4 = 3/4 log 3 - 2 = 2- 3/4*log 3 bits/symbol after handling the minus sign. This is less than the optimum 1 bit/symbol, achieved when the symbols are equiprobable as above. So now we have demonstrated how to use Shannon to measure the actual entropy carried by each imperfectly random symbol. We now use this to measure the result of XORing two such imperfect values. We continue to use the imperfect RNG source where A occurs 3/4 time, B occurs 1/4 time. We take two of these badbits and XOR them: A.A=A, A.B=B, B.A=B, B.B=A. We now compute the liklihood of each output symbol: A.A 3/4 * 3/4 = 9/16 (A) A.B 3/4 * 1/4 = 3/16 (B) B.A 1/4 * 3/4 = 3/16 (B) B.B 1/4 * 1/4 =1/16 (A) So the output has symbol A 10/16 of the time, and B 6/16 of the time. The difference in frequency has decreased; the distribution becomes more uniform, which means that the information content of the output has increased. The information content of the whole system can only decrease; but if you destroy the inputs the output carries their entropy. The exact amount of information per symbol in the 10:6 distribution is 10/16 * log(10/16) + 6/16 * log(6/16) = 10/16 * (log10 - 4) + 6/16*(log6 -4) = 10/16 log 10 - 40/16 + 6/16 log 6 - 24/16 = 10/16 log 10 + 6/16 log 6 - 4 the negative of which is 4 - (10log 10 + 6 log 6) / 16 Which is less than 1 but more than the content of each of the 2 bits we started with. Intuitively, we have gone from this distribution: ---- ------------ crossed with itself, yields this distribution of states: - --- --- --------- which when collapsed yields this: ------ ---------- So: we can use Shannon's analytic measure to look at entropy collection through a combination of imperfect input bits. It shows us that we'll never get perfectly uniformly distributed symbols by combining arbitrary quantities of nonuniformly distributed symbols, but we can get arbitrarily close. All we need is more input. Quantity vs. quality. A video ADC acquires say 8 bits resolution at 4 msamples/sec. This might condense down to 4 Mbits/sec true negentropy, which is about half the rate of regular Ethernet. honig(a)alum.mit.edu "Speech is not protected simply because it is written in a language" Federal Misjudge Gwin on the Bernstein Case

How to earn yourself $50,000 in 90 days!!
by Anne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Our research indicates the following material may be of interest to you. If you prefer NOT to learn the easy way to make some much needed income, please, simply delete this letter. To further insure you do not get email of this nature, there are several universal "remove" lists you can subscribe to on the internet. I filter all email addresses that I send to against such a "remove" list of over 2,000,000 subscribers. Please accept my apology if this was sent to you in error! *************************************************************** You are about to make up to $50,000-In less than 90 days Read the enclosed program...THEN READ IT AGAIN! *************************************************************** This is the letter that got my attention. Read on and I'm sure you will agree that this is a great plan! Dear Friend, The enclosed information is something I almost let slip through my Fingers. Fortunately, sometime later I re-read everything and gave some thought and study to it. Please do the same. It's so simple to do. And you won't be left out in the cold to figure it all out yourself. Look further down in this letter for the information you will receive from Abot Marketing. They give you 10,000 fresh email addresses and give you the locations of the best software (FREE SOFTWARE) to send out large quantities of email. (normally this kind of software is several hundred dollars) They even give you easy to understand, proven, step by step instructions for success with this program. In fact, they helped me get started and I'm so thankful. It's hard to belive that this as simple as it is, but it really is SIMPLE. You will even get support from them via email anytime you need it. You won't get this kind of help from other programs of this nature. It makes all the difference in the world. My name is Anne Bowman. I am 31-year-old graduate student desperately trying to finish my degree and begin working in my chosen field that is, if I am lucky enough to find a job in the crowded market. Like most people in this day and age, it is hard to make ends meet, and being a student does not help the situation at all (If I ever have to buy one more box of macaroni and cheese I think I would have to scream). I returned to school after having worked for several years with little potential for achieving what I had expected out of life. I figured if I returned to school and received my Ph.D there would be several pportunities for me out there to achieve my goals. After seeing my fellow graduate students receive their degrees and, depressingly, not find respectable positions in their chosen field I began to think, "Oh no not again!" Four extra years in school and an extra $20,000 in student loans on top of the first $18,000, what will I do if the same happens to me?" I began to doubt my patience for the long term investment in schooling, and decided enough was enough, "Why can't I make real money now instead of waiting to graduate with no guarantee of a lucrative return for all of my efforts!" I am writing to share my experience with other hopeful students out there, as well as ANYONE looking for an pportunity to take their financial situation into their own hands. I hope you will consider this opportunity seriously and that this will change your life FOREVER! ., FINANCIALLY!!! And once you get started it takes so little of your time. In mid October 97 I received this program. I didn't send for it,or ask for it, they just got my name off a mailing list. I TOOK THIS AS A SIGN!!! After reading it several times, to make sure I was reading it correctly, it made perfect sense. Here was a MONEY-MAKING PHENOMENON. I could invest as much as I wanted to start (about as much as it costs for a pizza!), without putting me further in debt. After I got a pencil and paper and figured it out, I would at least get my money back. After determining that the program is LEGAL and NOT A CHAIN LETTER, I decided "I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE". Initially I sent 15,000 emails, (without any costs to me) only a couple of hours of my time on-line. The great thing about email is that I didn't need any money for printing to send out the program, only the time to fulfill my orders. There is a vast on-line market available to everyone who owns a computer. Following the advice of the person from whom I received this letter, I am telling you like it is, and I hope it doesn't turn you off, but I promised myself I would not "rip-off" anyone, no matter how much money it cost me! After you receive the reports they should explain everything to you. You may have some general questions, however, and after I send you REPORT #1 , please feel free to contact me and I will give you any advice you need. In one week, I was starting to receive orders for REPORT #1. By mid November, I had received 40 orders for REPORT #1. When you read the GUARANTEE in the program you will see that "YOU MUST RECEIVE 15 TO 20 ORDERS FOR REPORT #1 WITHIN 2 WEEKS IF YOU DON'T SEND OUT MORE PROGRAMS UNTIL YOU DO!" My first step in making $50,000 in 20 to 90 days was done. By the beginning of December, I had received 174 orders for REPORT #2. If you go back to the GUARANTEE. "YOU MUST RECEIVE 100 OR MORE ORDERS FOR REPORT #2 WITHIN TWO WEEKS. IF NOT SEND OUT MORE PROGRAMS UNTIL YOU DO. ONCE YOU HAVE 100 ORDERS, THE REST IS EASY, RELAX, YOU WILL MAKE YOUR $50,000 GOAL". Well, I had 174 orders for REPORT #2, 74 more than I needed. So I sat back and relaxed. By January 20th, of my emailing of 15,000, I received $54,000 with more coming in ever day. The great thing about this program is you can begin the process over and over again without any limit on potential income! I paid off ALL my student loans, and together with everything I have learned in school, I am now saving in order to open up my own business related to my field as soon as I graduate. Please take time to read the attached program. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER! Remember, it won't work if you don't try it. This program does work, but you must follow it EXACTLY! Especially the rules of not trying to place your name in a different place on the list. It doesn't work, you'll lose out on a lot of money! REPORT #2 explains this. ALWAYS follow the guarantee, 15 to 20 orders of REPORT #1 and 100 or more orders for REPORT #2 and you will make $50,000 or more in 20 to 90 days. I AM LIVING PROOF THAT IT WORKS!! If you choose not to participate in this program, I'm sorry, It really is a great opportunity with little cost or risk to you. If you choose to participate, follow the program and you will be on your way to financial security. To my fellow graduate students out there, good luck to you and I sympathize. And to all other persons in financial trouble consider this letter a sign and please take advantage of this opportunity. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED! Sincerely, Anne Bowman The following testimonial was at the bottom of this letter but it was too good to leave down there so I moved it up here. It is exactly how I felt at first and and feel now. "The first week after I started this program was torture. I couldnt wait to see if it was really going to work after I mailed out my first batch of letters. I chuckle every day now when I walk out of the post office with my envelopes. This is so easy, I still can't belive it's happenning!" Don Masterson, Troy,NY $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ >From here down is the instruction portion of this letter... This is a LEGAL, MONEY-MAKING PHENOMENON. PRINT this letter, read the directions, THEN READ IT AGAIN !!! You are about to embark on the most profitable and unique program you may ever see. Many times over, it has demonstrated and proven its ability to generate large amounts of cash. This program is showing fantastic appeal with a huge and ever-growing on-line population desirous of additional income. This is a legitimate, LEGAL, money-making opportunity. It does not require you to come in contact with people, do any hard work, and best of all, you never have to leave the house, except to get the mail and go to the bank! This truly is that lucky break you've been waiting for! Simply follow the easy instructions in this letter, and your financial dreams will come true! When followed correctly, this electronic, multi-level marketing program works perfectly...100% EVERY TIME! Thousands of people have used this program to: - Raise capital to start their own business - Pay off debts - Buy homes, cars, etc., - Even retire! This is your chance, so don't pass it up! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OVERVIEW OF THIS EXTRAORDINARY ELECTRONIC MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING PROGRAM ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basically, this is what we do: We send thousands of people a product for $5.00 that costs next to nothing to produce and e-mail. As with all multi-level businesses, we build our business by recruiting new partners and selling our products. Every state in the U.S. allows you to recruit new multi- level business online (via your computer). The products in this program are a series of four business and financial reports costing $5.00 each. Each order you receive via "snail mail" will include: * $5.00 cash * The name and number of the report they are ordering * The e-mail address where you will e-mail them the report they ordered. To fill each order, you simply e-mail the product to the buyer. The $5.00 is yours! This is the most EASIEST electronic multi-level marketing business anywhere! FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER AND BE PREPARED TO REAP THE STAGGERING BENEFITS! ******* I N S T R U C T I O N S ******* This is what you MUST do: 1. Order all 4 reports shown on the list below (you can't sell them if you don't order them). * For each report, send $5.00 CASH, the NAME & NUMBER OF THE REPORT YOU ARE ORDERING, YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS, and YOUR RETURN POSTAL ADDRESS (in case of a problem) to the person whose name appears on the list next to the report. * When you place your order, make sure you order each of the four reports. You will need all four reports so that you can save them on your computer and resell them. * Within a few days you will receive, via e-mail, each of the four reports. Save them on your computer so they will be accessible for you to send to the 1,000's of people who will order them from you. 2. IMPORTANT-- DO NOT alter the names of the people who are listed next to each report, or their sequence on the list, in any way other than is instructed below in steps "a" through "d" or you will lose out on the majority of your profits. ONCE YOU UNDERSTAND THE WAY THIS WORKS, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHY IT DOESN'T WORK IF YOU CHANGE IT. Remember, this method has been tested, and if you alter it, it will not work. a. Look below for the listing of available reports. b. After you've ordered the four reports, replace the name and address under REPORT #1 with your name and address, moving the one that was there down to REPORT #2. c. Move the name and address that was under REPORT #2 down to REPORT #3. d. Move the name and address that was under REPORT #3 down to REPORT #4. e. The name and address that was under REPORT #4 is removed from the list and has NO DOUBT collected their 50 grand. Please make sure you copy everyone's name and address ACCURATELY!!! 3. Take this entire letter, including the modified list of names, and save it to your computer. Make NO changes to the INSTRUCTION portion of this letter. 4. Now you're ready to start an advertising campaign on the Internet! Advertising on the Internet is very, very inexpensive, and there are HUNDREDS of FREE places to advertise, but email has, by far, proven itself to be the best medium for this program. And the emailers best friend is e-mail lists. You can buy these lists for under $20/20,000 addresses or you can pay someone a minimal charge to take care of the mailing for you. BE SURE TO START YOUR AD CAMPAIGN IMMEDIATELY! Each day that passes while you think about it is a day without profit. 5. For every $5.00 you receive, all you must do is e-mail them the report they ordered. THAT'S IT! ALWAYS PROVIDE SAME-DAY SERVICE ON ALL ORDERS! This will guarantee that the e-mail THEY send out, with YOUR name and address on it, will be prompt because they can't advertise until they receive the report! ------------------------------------------ AVAILABLE REPORTS ------------------------------------------ ***Order Each REPORT by NUMBER and NAME*** Notes: - ALWAYS SEND $5 CASH FOR EACH REPORT - ALWAYS SEND YOUR ORDER VIA FIRST CLASS MAIL - Make sure the cash is concealed by wrapping it in at least two sheets of paper - On one of those sheets of paper, include: (a) the number & name of the report you are ordering, (b) your e-mail address, and (c) your postal address. (using your printer is the best way to do this) _________________________________________________________________ REPORT #1 "HOW TO MAKE $250,000 THROUGH MULTILEVEL SALES" ORDER REPORT #1 FROM: ALBERT N YISHUN CENTRAL POST OFFICE PO BOX 307 SINGAPORE 917611 *****IMPORTANT NOTE***** - US Dollar currency only please - Once again, make sure the cash is concealed by wrapping it in at least "two" sheets of paper _________________________________________________________________ REPORT #2 "MAJOR CORPORATIONS AND MULTILEVEL SALES" ORDER REPORT #2 FROM: J.F.J P.O. Box 342 McCormick, SC 29835-0342 USA _________________________________________________________________ REPORT #3 "SOURCES FOR THE BEST MAILING LISTS" ORDER REPORT #3 FROM: Matt G 3801 Brooklyn Ave. NE #A102-1 Seattle, WA 98105 USA _________________________________________________________________ REPORT #4 "EVALUATING MULTILEVEL SALES PLANS" ORDER REPORT #4 FROM: Abot Marketing PO BOX 2523 Chapel Hill, NC 27515-2523 USA *****IMPORTANT NOTE***** My personal success is due to sending out emails to prospective participants, I am happy to help you get started by giving you 10,000 free current email addresses and giving you the location of several free programs that will allow you to send out large quantities of e-mail easily. I will email the fresh addresses and software information to you the same day I receive your report request. Just jot down "free help please" on the report request that you send with your $5. In many cases I can take care of your mailing for you at NO CHARGE. You will receive my real email address when I send you this report and you can contact me for any questions you may have. (program participants, you may leave this offer with my name as I am moved down the list. I will honor it for the duration of the program. Just move it down, with my name, to the next position when you send out your first mailings.) _________________________________________________________________ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- HERE'S HOW THIS AMAZING PLAN WILL MAKE YOU $MONEY$ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's say you decide to start small just to see how well it works. Assume your goal is to get 10 people to participate on your first level. (Placing a lot of FREE ads on the Internet will EASILY get a larger response.) Also assume that everyone else in YOUR ORGANIZATION gets ONLY 10 down line members. Follow this example to achieve the STAGGERING results below. 1st level--your 10 members with$5...................................$50 2nd level--10 members from those 10 ($5 x 100)..................$500 3rd level--10 members from those 100 ($5 x 1,000)..........$5,000 4th level--10 members from those 1,000 ($5 x 10,000)...$50,000 THIS TOTALS----------->$55,550 Remember friends, this assumes that the people who participate only recruit 10 people each. Think for a moment what would happen if they got 20 people to participate! Most people get 100's of participants! THINK ABOUT IT! Your cost to participate in this is practically nothing (surely you can afford $20 for a chance to make $ 55,000). You obviously already have an Internet connection and e-mail is FREE!!! REPORT# 3 shows you the most productive methods for bulk e-mailing and purchasing e-mail lists. Some list & bulk e-mail vendors even work on trade! About 50,000 new people get online every month! *******TIPS FOR SUCCESS******* * TREAT THIS AS YOUR BUSINESS! Be prompt, professional, and follow the directions accurately. * Send for the four reports IMMEDIATELY so you will have them when the orders start coming in because: When you receive a $5 order, you MUST send out the requested product/report to comply with the U.S. Postal & Lottery Laws, Title 18,Sections 1302 and 1341 or Title 18, Section 3005 in the U.S. Code, also Code of Federal Regs. Vol.. 16, Sections 255 and 436, which state that "a product or service must be exchanged for money received." * ALWAYS PROVIDE SAME-DAY SERVICE ON THE ORDERS YOU RECEIVE. * Be patient and persistent with this program. If you follow the instructions exactly, the results WILL undoubtedly be SUCCESSFUL! * ABOVE ALL, HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF AND KNOW YOU WILL SUCCEED! *******YOUR SUCCESS GUIDELINE******* Follow these guidelines to guarantee your success: I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH HOW IMPORTANT THIS NEXT SECTION IS!!!! If you don't receive 10 to 20 orders for REPORT #1 within two weeks, continue advertising until you do. Then, a couple of weeks later you should receive at least 100 orders for REPORT #2. If you don't, continue advertising until you do. Once you have received 100 or more orders for REPORT #2, YOU CAN RELAX, because the system is already working for you, and the cash will continue to roll in! THIS IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER: Every time your name is moved down on the list, you are placed in front of a DIFFERENT report. You can KEEP TRACK of your PROGRESS by watching which report people are ordering from you. If you want to generate more income, send another batch of e-mails and start the whole process again! There is no limit to the income you will generate from this business! NOTE: If you need help with starting a business, registering a business name, how income tax is handled, etc., contact your local office of the Small Business Administration (a Federal agency) for free help and answers to questions. Also, the Internal Revenue Service offers free help via telephone and free seminars about business taxes. *******T E S T I M O N I A L S******* The first week after I started this program was torture. I couldnt wait to see if it was really going to work after I mailed out my first batch of letters. I chuckle every day now when I walk out of the post office with my envelopes. This is so easy, I still can't belive it's happenning! Don Masterson, Troy,NY This program does work, but you must follow it EXACTLY! Especially the rule of not trying to place your name in a different position, it won't work and you'll lose a lot of potential income. I'm living proof that it works. It really is a great opportunity to make relatively easy money, with little cost to you. If you do choose to participate, follow the program exactly, and you'll be on your way to financial security. Sean McLaughlin, Jackson, MS My name is Frank. My wife, Doris, and I live in Bel-Air, MD. I am a cost accountant with a major U.S. Corporation and I make pretty good money. When I received the program I grumbled to Doris about receiving "junk mail." I made fun of the whole thing, spouting my knowledge of the population and percentages involved. I "knew" it wouldn't work. Doris totally ignored my supposed intelligence and jumped in with both feet. I made merciless fun of her, and was ready to lay the old "I told you so" on her when the thing didn't work... Well, the laugh was on me! Within two weeks she had received over 50 responses. Within 45 days she had received over $147,200 in $5 bills! I was shocked! I was sure that I had it all figured and that it wouldn't work. I AM a believer now. I have joined Doris in her "hobby." I did have seven more years until retirement, but I think of the "rat race" and it's not for me. We owe it all to MLM. Frank T., Bel-Air, MD I just want to pass along my best wishes and encouragement to you. Any doubts you have will vanish when your first orders come in. I even checked with the U.S. Post Office to verify that the plan was legal. It definitely is! IT WORKS!!! Paul Johnson, Raleigh, NC The main reason for this letter is to convince you that this system is honest, lawful, extremely profitable, and is a way to get a large amount of money in a short time. I was approached several times before I checked this out. I joined just to see what one could expect in return for the minimal effort and money required. To my astonishment, I received $36,470.00 in the first 14 weeks, with money still coming in. Sincerely yours, Phillip A. Brown, Esq. Not being the gambling type, it took me several weeks to make up my mind to participate in this plan. But conservative that I am, I decided that the initial investment was so little that there was just no way that I wouldn't get enough orders to at least get my money back. Boy, was I surprised when I found my medium-size post office box crammed with orders! For awhile, it got so overloaded that I had to start picking up my mail at the window. I'll make more money this year than any 10 years of my life before. The nice thing about this deal is that it doesn't matter where in the U.S. the people live. There simply isn't a better investment with a faster return. Mary Rockland, Lansing, MI I had received this program before. I deleted it, but later I wondered if I shouldn't have given it a try. Of course, I had no idea who to contact to get another copy, so I had to wait until I was e-mailed another program. 11 months passed then it came...I didn't delete this one!...I made more than $41,000 on the first try!! Wilburn, Muncie, IN This is my third time to participate in this plan. We have quit our jobs, and will soon buy a home on the beach and live off the interest on our money. The only way on earth that this plan will work for you is if you do it. For your sake, and for your family's sake don't pass up this golden opportunity. Good luck and happy spending!

The problem with XORing is that you might have a generator where bits are interdependent in a way that causes entropy to be lost in the XOR. You generally don't have this problem with the more involved mixing functions. If the construction you use for distilling the RNG's output to a random number works as a collision-free hash function, you can place a lower bound on the amount of entropy in the output based on how long it takes to simulate the biases in the RNG (I posted a somewhat confuberated description of the reasoning to coderpunks -- basically, if the hash of the simulation's output has little enough entropy, it means you can break the hash; since you can't break the hash, the output can't have that little entropy). Normally, though, you can get away with using pretty much any nonlinear mixing function, even if it's not a good hash function. An "entropy pool" setup where you can put entropy in and pull keys out at will gets slightly more hairy...if you want to do that, I suggest you try to contact someone who knows what he/she's doing. :) Should that prove infeasible, key a stream cipher with the mixed entropy, and, when you want to pull a key out, grab some stream cipher output; when you want to drop entropy in, mix some stream cipher output with your new entropy and rekey the stream cipher with the result (to save time, I'd only do the rekeying right before I want a key containing the new entropy). Probably a lot more complicated and slow than it needs to be, but I think it lets you add any amount of entropy you want without fear of an attacker somehow interfering with the generation. ...

CypherPunks Are Stupid DickWads!!!

Cuthmarks=*** Ha! Ha! Ha! I can say anything I want about you guys and you won't know who I am, because I am using an AnonymousRemailer (TM). How does it feel to have your own CypherPunksTechnology turned against you, eh? And there's nothing you can do about it, because you don't know who I am... Hell, I can even badmouth the remailer operators, while using their own systems to send out my email badmouthing them, eh? I mean, these RemailerOperators are really stupid lamers, eh? I mean, they can't even get their messages to come out in the same order that they came in by... Dumb, eh? Some of the test messages I sent to myself came back in a different order from that what I sent them in. I guess these guys don't know much about computers, eh?

Did you *really* write PGP?

PRZ, Some guys from the Secret Service came to see me about the Death Threats I've been sending you. It's pretty funny that after all those years of persecuting you, the GuberMint is now paying these guys to protect you, eh? They sure looked at me funny when I told them that it was all in good humor, and that I wouldn't dream of doing anything bad to the guy who wrote PGP. Are you *sure* you wrote it? They don't seem to think so... Do you play the saxaphone? They said you play the saxaphone. Anyway, say "Hi!" to Buddy for me...

They require all citizens to obtain a driver's licence containing a social security number. The law makes mention of «biometric identifiers »by which is meant such high-tech delights as digitized thumb or fingerprints on magnetic strips. An unrelated, for the moment, announcement by the Immigration Service on June 23 revealed a new identification system called INSPASS. The latter is a system which verifies such things as retinal and hand scans in order to let frequent travelers pass through customs more quickly. All very efficient. In this land of the free, whose praises are sung ad nauseam, these kinds of regulations are being introduced frequently and surreptitiously so that the average man, or woman, in the street will not realize what is happening until it is far too late to protest. Requirements such as social security numbers on driving licences are leading inevitably towards their becoming national identity cards. A card which the citizen will soon need to secure government services, apply for a job, conduct banking transactions or even to buy something as simple as an airline ticket. An old topic with a new twist Of course this topic is not new to the US, various groups have been proposing tamper-proof ID cards for many years. Often this was connected to discussions on gun control or immigration, it being believed that illegal immigration could be deterred by the use of such cards. The fact that they would be no more reliable than the documents produced originally to obtain them, plus the estimated $2.5 billions required to implement them, does not deter those who would mandate their use. A great deal of the impetus for ID cards is coming from California where a serious illegal immigration problem does indeed exist. As usual, politicians possessed of little or no imagination propose simplistic solutions to complex social and economic problems. Their idea being that such a card would become a kind of employment passport, which illegal immigrants would not possess. Unless, that is, their friendly local forger could supply one. There can be little doubt that the appearance of such a card would be welcomed by the police, they could then stop people at will and ask for some identification. The potential for the harassment of strange, different looking or foreign sounding individuals will increase exponentially. Minorities such as Asians, Latinos and African Americans will become even more perfect targets for such identity checks. Other groups too, such as banks, health insurers, landlords, merchants and others, salivate at the prospect of employing ID cards in their daily activities. Information, once gathered, can be stored at almost no cost, and retrieved in any imaginable sequence. It is this which is providing the incentive to collect the sort of information that has hitherto been maintained about only a very small portion of the population. The United States already has in its education system a national electronic network of student records. The purpose of this system being to allow the exchange of information between various public and private agencies, and the tracking of individuals through school and university, through their military service, through the criminal justice system, through their civilian careers, and through their use of the medical services. Toward a womb to tomb database At the moment, these databases are provided only with an electronic portfolio for every student, an assessment of each student's work and behavior by his teacher and the student's social security number. It is proposed also to include: data about prenatal care; birth weight; number of years in a pre-school program; poverty status; physical, emotional and other development at various ages; date of last routine health and dental care; plus many other items such as the employer's name and whether the person is registered to vote. A womb to tomb, all seeing, all knowing database. In a book published jointly by the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, there is ominous talk of «overcoming the confidentiality barrier. »The purpose of the new databases being stated as giving all agencies «ready access to each other's data. » There is a group in the US known as the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) which is actively involved with the Transportation Secretary in proposing or actually changing the various state driving licences to include digitally encoded fingerprints, retinal scans, digital computer readable photographs and other biometric forms of identification. So far, some 28 States have actually begun to make or proposed the changes to their driver's licences. Last December, the AAMVA announced that fingerprints are their currently favored form of biometric identification. It may interest readers to learn that many Canadian provinces are also members of the AAMVA. It would be naive to think that these ideas will not cross the world's longest undefended border before long. All the State assemblies which have introduced the necessary legislation to implement this new form of national ID have done so under cover, usually at the end of a legislative session in the middle of the night. These politicians know a thing or two about journalists. The mainstream media having been remarkably silent on the subject and frequently supportive of the federal government. On a positive note, at least a few States are now actively involved in trying to repeal the fingerprinting requirement. Alabama and New Jersey have done it, and Georgia is considering a piece of draft legislation which will forbid the use of biometric identifiers of any kind. «Live Free or Die »the motto of our neighboring US State of New Hampshire, may well become somewhat more than a motto if its citizens do not resist these latest proposals emanating from their Federal Government. Perhaps, instead of providing their fingerprints, they should show their politicians a collective upraised finger. <index.htm> <index.htm>sommaire page suivante <980801-7.htm> <980801-7.htm> Jean-Francois Avon, B.Sc.

CRTC asks if it should regulate the internet

Date: Sat, 1 Aug 1998 10:37:34 -0400 (EDT) From: Jeffrey Shallit To: efc-talk(a)efc.ca Subject: CRTC asks if it should regulate the internet X-EFC-Web-Site: http://www.efc.ca The front page of today's Globe & Mail has a story about the CRTC asking if it should regulate the Internet. The front page story directs you to page A4 for the remainder, which is actually on page A3. On page A3 an incorrect URL for the CRTC releases. The correct ones are: http://www.crtc.gc.ca/ENG/NEWS/RELEASES/1998/R980731e.htm (press release) http://www.crtc.gc.ca/ENG/bcasting/notice/1998/p9882_0.txt (public notice in English) All EFC members should write and say they are opposed to CRTC regulation. Unfortunately, I am scheduled to leave for vacation tomorrow, but David Jones will post this and perhaps suggest some sample letters to write to the CRTC. EFC will plan to attend the public hearings on the issue on November 23 in Hull, Quebec. Jeffrey Shallit

MAKE ENTROPY CHEAP!!!
by David Honig 17 Dec '03

Producing True Random Numbers at 44Kbits/sec on a common PC I found that FM radio hiss can be digitized and processed to yield true, quality random numbers which pass the Diehard randomness tests. A cheap FM radio was tuned to hiss at the high end of the FM band. The radio's earphone-out signal was fed into ordinary computer soundcard and digitized at 16bits/sample at 22Ksamples/sec. Various spectral-analysis programs showed that the FM hiss was fairly white analog noise, however the raw data did not pass Diehard tests. I then processed the raw data: The parity of each raw byte was shifted into a register until a byte accumulated, which was then output. The resulting data, 1/8 the size of the raw data, passes Diehard randomness tests with no additional processing. Diehard output: BIRTHDAY SPACINGS TEST, M= 512 N=2**24 LAMBDA= 2.0000 bigsimple.bin using bits 1 to 24 p-value= .215128 bigsimple.bin using bits 2 to 25 p-value= .749499 bigsimple.bin using bits 3 to

Dear Friend: If you have already responded to the following announcement a few days ago, that means your package is already on its way and it should be arriving soon!

Before you know about this 'Important Announcement', you must first read the following 'Editorial Excerpts' from some important publications in the United States: NBC NIGHTLY NEWS: "Members of 'World Currency Cartel', who always keep a low profile, are considered to be some of the most wealthiest people in North America". "In concluding our review of Financial organizations to effect change in the 90's, special attention should be called to a California based organization, 'WORLD CURRENCY CARTEL'. Members of this organization are amassing hundred of millions of dollars in the currency market using a very LEGAL method which has NEVER been divulged to the general public. While their purpose is not yet known, their presence has most certainly been felt". More excerpts later, but first let us give you this very 'IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT": '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' We are glad to announce that for the first time and for a very short period of time, WORLD CURRENCY CARTEL will instruct a LIMITED number of people worldwide on 'HOW TO CONVERT $25 INTO ONE HUNDRED OF LEGAL CURRENCY'. We will transact the first conversion for you, after that you can easily and quickly do this on your own hundreds or even thousands of times every month. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS "SECRET FLAW" ! ****************************************************************** ****************************************************************** It is even more explosive than we have yet disclosed. While currency does fluctuate daily, we can show you 'HOW TO CONVERT $99 INTO $588 AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT'. That means, you will be able to EXCHANGE $99, AMERICAN LEGAL CURRENCY DOLLARS, FOR $580 OF THE SAME. You can do this as many times as you wish, every day, every week, every month. All very LEGAL and effortlessly! It takes only 5 to 10 minutes each time you do this. You can do this from home, office or even while traveling. All you need is an access to a phone line and an address. Best of all, you can do this from ANY CITY ON THIS EARTH!!! Again, we must reiterate, anyone can do this and the source is NEVER-ENDING. For as long as the global financial community continues to use different currencies with varying exchange rates, the "SECRET FLAW" will exist. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> As we said earlier , we will do the first transaction for you and will show you exactly how to do this on your own, over and over again! The amount of exchange you would do each time is entirely up to you. Working just 2 to 10 hours a week, you can soon join the list of Millionaires who do this on a daily basis many times a day. The transaction is so simple that even a high school kid can do it! We at the World Currency Cartel would like to see a uniform global currency backed by Gold. But, until then, we will allow a LIMITED number of individuals worldwide to share in the UNLIMITED PROFITS provided for by the world currency differentials. We will espouse no more political views nor will we ask you to do so. We can say however, that our parent organization, NDML, benefits greatly by the knowledge being shared, as we ourselves, along with YOU, benefit likewise. Your main concern surely will be, how you will benefit. As soon as you become a member, you will make transactions from your home, office, by telephone or through the mail. You can conduct these transactions even while traveling. Don't believe us? Experience it for yourself! ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; Unlike anyone else, we will assure you great financial freedom and you will add to our quickly growing base of supporters and join the list of MILLIONAIRES being created using this very "SECRET FLAW" in the world currency market. ****************************************************************** ****************************************************************** DON'T ENVY US, JOIN US TODAY!!!

Please review this information, you won't regret ! !

X-Info: X-Info:Sent using Zenith Bulk Emailer (FREE) Please accept my apology if this was sent to you in error! The main reason for this letter is to convince you that this system is honest, lawful, extremely profitable, and is a way to get a considerable amount of money in a short time. I was approached several times before I checked this out. I joined just to see what one could expect in return for the minimal effort and money required. *************************************************************** You are about to make up to $50,000-In less than 90 days Read the enclosed program...THEN READ IT AGAIN! *************************************************************** This is the letter that got my attention. Read on and I'm sure you will agree that this is a great plan! Dear Friend, The enclosed information is something I almost let slip through my Fingers. Fortunately, sometime later I re-read everything and gave some thought and study to it. Please do the same. It's so simple to do. And you won't be left out in the cold to figure it all out yourself. Look further down in this letter for the information you will receive from * Abot Marketing. They give you 10,000 fresh email addresses and give you the locations of the best software (FREE SOFTWARE) to send out large quantities of email. (normally this kind of software is several hundred dollars) They even give you easy to understand, proven, step by step instructions for success with this program. In fact, they helped me get started and I'm so thankful. It's hard to belive that this as simple as it is, but it really is SIMPLE. You will even get support from them via email anytime you need it. You won't get this kind of help from other programs of this nature. It makes all the difference in the world. My name is Anne Bowman. I am 31-year-old graduate student desperately trying to finish my degree and begin working in my chosen field--that is, if I am lucky enough to find a job in the crowded market. Like most people in this day and age, it is hard to make ends meet, and being a student does not help the situation at all ( If I ever have to buy one more box of macaroni and cheese I think I would have to scream). I returned to school after having worked for several years with little potential for achieving what I had expected out of life. I figured if I returned to school and received my Ph.D there would be several pportunities for me out there to achieve my goals. After seeing my fellow graduate students receive their degrees and, depressingly, not find respectable positions in their chosen field I began to think, "Oh no not again!" Four extra years in school and an extra $20,000 in student loans on top of the first $18,000, what will I do if the same happens to me?" I began to doubt my patience for the long term investment in schooling, and decided enough was enough, "Why can't I make real money now instead of waiting to graduate with no guarantee of a lucrative return for all of my efforts!" I am writing to share my experience with other hopeful students out there, as well as ANYONE looking for an pportunity to take their financial situation into their own hands. I hope you will consider this opportunity seriously and that this will change your life FOREVER!.., FINANCIALLY!!! And once you get started it takes so little of your time. In mid October 97 I received this program. I didn't send for it,or ask for it, they just got my name off a mailing list. I TOOK THIS AS A SIGN!!! After reading it several times, to make sure I was reading it correctly, it made perfect sense. Here was a MONEY-MAKING PHENOMENON. I could invest as much as I wanted to start (about as much as it costs for a pizza!), without putting me further in debt. After I got a pencil and paper and figured it out, I would at least get my money back. After determining that the program is LEGAL and NOT A CHAIN LETTER, I decided "I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE". Initially I sent 15,000 emails, (without any costs to me) only a couple of hours of my time on-line. The great thing about email is that I didn't need any money for printing to send out the program, only the time to fulfill my orders. There is a vast on-line market available to everyone who owns a computer. Following the advice of the person from whom I received this letter, I am telling you like it is, and I hope it doesn't turn you off, but I promised myself I would not "rip-off" anyone, no matter how much money it cost me! After you receive the reports they should explain everything to you. You may have some general questions, however, and after I send you REPORT #1 , please feel free to contact me and I will give you any advice you need. In one week, I was starting to receive orders for REPORT #1. By mid November, I had received 40 orders for REPORT #1. When you read the GUARANTEE in the program you will see that "YOU MUST RECEIVE 15 TO 20 ORDERS FOR REPORT #1 WITHIN 2 WEEKS IF YOU DON'T SEND OUT MORE PROGRAMS UNTIL YOU DO!" My first step in making $50,000 in 20 to 90 days was done. By the beginning of December, I had received 174 orders for REPORT #2. If you go back to the GUARANTEE. "YOU MUST RECEIVE 100 OR MORE ORDERS FOR REPORT #2 WITHIN TWO WEEKS. IF NOT SEND OUT MORE PROGRAMS UNTIL YOU DO. ONCE YOU HAVE 100 ORDERS, THE REST IS EASY, RELAX, YOU WILL MAKE YOUR $50,000 GOAL". Well, I had 174 orders for REPORT #2, 74 more than I needed. So I sat back and relaxed. By January 20th, of my emailing of 15,000, I received $54,000 with more coming in ever day. The great thing about this program is you can begin the process over and over again without any limit on potential income! I paid off ALL my student loans, and together with everything I have learned in school, I am now saving in order to open up my own business related to my field as soon as I graduate. Please take time to read the attached program. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER! Remember, it won't work if you don't try it. This program does work, but you must follow it EXACTLY! Especially the rules of not trying to place your name in a different place on the list. It doesn't work, you'll lose out on a lot of money! REPORT #2 explains this. ALWAYS follow the guarantee, 15 to 20 orders of REPORT #1 and 100 or more orders for REPORT #2 and you will make $50,000 or more in 20 to 90 days. I AM LIVING PROOF THAT IT WORKS!! If you choose not to participate in this program, I'm sorry, It really is a great opportunity with little cost or risk to you. If you choose to participate, follow the program and you will be on your way to financial security. To my fellow graduate students out there, good luck to you and I sympathize. And to all other persons in financial trouble consider this letter a sign and please take advantage of this opportunity. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED! Sincerely, Anne Bowman The following testimonial was at the bottom of this letter but it was too good to leave down there so I moved it up here. It is exactly how I felt at first and and feel now. "The first week after I started this program was torture. I couldnt wait to see if it was really going to work after I mailed out my first batch of letters. I chuckle every day now when I walk out of the post office with my envelopes. This is so easy, I still can't belive it's happenning!" Don Masterson, Troy,NY $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ >From here down is the instruction portion of this letter... This is a LEGAL, MONEY-MAKING PHENOMENON. PRINT this letter, read the directions, THEN READ IT AGAIN !!! You are about to embark on the most profitable and unique program you may ever see. Many times over, it has demonstrated and proven its ability to generate large amounts of cash. This program is showing fantastic appeal with a huge and ever-growing on-line population desirous of additional income. This is a legitimate, LEGAL, money-making opportunity. It does not require you to come in contact with people, do any hard work, and best of all, you never have to leave the house, except to get the mail and go to the bank! This truly is that lucky break you've been waiting for! Simply follow the easy instructions in this letter, and your financial dreams will come true! When followed correctly, this electronic, multi-level marketing program works perfectly...100% EVERY TIME! Thousands of people have used this program to: - Raise capital to start their own business - Pay off debts - Buy homes, cars, etc., - Even retire! This is your chance, so don't pass it up! ---------------------------------------------------------------- OVERVIEW OF THIS EXTRAORDINARY ELECTRONIC MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING PROGRAM ---------------------------------------------------------------- Basically, this is what we do: We send thousands of people a product for $5.00 that costs next to nothing to produce and e-mail. As with all multi-level businesses, we build our business by recruiting new partners and selling our products. Every state in the U.S. allows you to recruit new multi- level business online (via your computer). The products in this program are a series of four business and financial reports costing $5.00 each. Each order you receive via "snail mail" will include: * $5.00 cash * The name and number of the report they are ordering * The e-mail address where you will e-mail them the report they ordered. To fill each order, you simply e-mail the product to the buyer. The $5.00 is yours! This is the most EASIEST electronic multi-level marketing business anywhere! FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER AND BE PREPARED TO REAP THE STAGGERING BENEFITS! ******* I N S T R U C T I O N S ******* This is what you MUST do: 1. Order all 4 reports shown on the list below (you can't sell them if you don't order them). * For each report, send $5.00 CASH, the NAME & NUMBER OF THE REPORT YOU ARE ORDERING, YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS, and YOUR RETURN POSTAL ADDRESS (in case of a problem) to the person whose name appears on the list next to the report. * When you place your order, make sure you order each of the four reports. You will need all four reports so that you can save them on your computer and resell them. * Within a few days you will receive, via e-mail, each of the four reports. Save them on your computer so they will be accessible for you to send to the 1,000's of people who will order them from you. 2. IMPORTANT-- DO NOT alter the names of the people who are listed next to each report, or their sequence on the list, in any way other than is instructed below in steps "a" through "d" or you will lose out on the majority of your profits. ONCE YOU UNDERSTAND THE WAY THIS WORKS, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHY IT DOESN'T WORK IF YOU CHANGE IT. Remember, this method has been tested, and if you alter it, it will not work. a. Look below for the listing of available reports. b. After you've ordered the four reports, replace the name and address under REPORT #1 with your name and address, moving the one that was there down to REPORT #2. c. Move the name and address that was under REPORT #2 down to REPORT #3. d. Move the name and address that was under REPORT #3 down to REPORT #4. e. The name and address that was under REPORT #4 is removed from the list and has NO DOUBT collected their 50 grand. Please make sure you copy everyone's name and address ACCURATELY!!! 3. Take this entire letter, including the modified list of names, and save it to your computer. Make NO changes to the INSTRUCTION portion of this letter. 4. Now you're ready to start an advertising campaign on the Internet! Advertising on the Internet is very, very inexpensive, and there are HUNDREDS of FREE places to advertise, but email has, by far, proven itself to be the best medium for this program. And the emailers best friend is e-mail lists. You can buy these lists for under $20/20,000 addresses or you can pay someone a minimal charge to take care of the mailing for you. BE SURE TO START YOUR AD CAMPAIGN IMMEDIATELY! Each day that passes while you think about it is a day without profit. 5. For every $5.00 you receive, all you must do is e-mail them the report they ordered. THAT'S IT! ALWAYS PROVIDE SAME-DAY SERVICE ON ALL ORDERS! This will guarantee that the e-mail THEY send out, with YOUR name and address on it, will be prompt because they can't advertise until they receive the report! ------------------------------------------ AVAILABLE REPORTS ------------------------------------------ ***Order Each REPORT by NUMBER and NAME*** Notes: - ALWAYS SEND $5 CASH FOR EACH REPORT - ALWAYS SEND YOUR ORDER VIA FIRST CLASS MAIL - Make sure the cash is concealed by wrapping it in at least two sheets of paper!!! - On one of those sheets of paper, include: (a) the number & name of the report you are ordering, (b) your e-mail address, and (c) your postal address. (using your printer is the best way to do this) _________________________________________________________________ REPORT #1 "HOW TO MAKE $250,000 THROUGH MULTILEVEL SALES" ORDER REPORT #1 FROM: Sony Effraim PO BOX 9323 JATDK JKT 13550 INDONESIA _________________________________________________________________ REPORT #2 "MAJOR CORPORATIONS AND MULTILEVEL SALES" ORDER REPORT #2 FROM: Christian S PO BOX 1092, JKB 11010 INDONESIA *****IMPORTANT NOTE***** - US Dollar currency only please - Once again, make sure the cash is concealed by wrapping it in at least "two" sheets of paper! _________________________________________________________________ REPORT #3 "SOURCES FOR THE BEST MAILING LISTS" ORDER REPORT #3 FROM: J.F.J P.O. Box 342 McCormick, SC 29835-0342 USA _________________________________________________________________ REPORT #4 "EVALUATING MULTILEVEL SALES PLANS" ORDER REPORT #4 FROM: Matt G 3801 Brooklyn Ave. NE #A102-1 Seattle, WA 98105 USA _________________________________________________________________ * Abot Marketing PO BOX 2523 Chapel Hill, NC 27515-2523 USA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- HERE'S HOW THIS AMAZING PLAN WILL MAKE YOU $MONEY$ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Let's say you decide to start small just to see how well it works. Assume your goal is to get 10 people to participate on your first level. (Placing a lot of FREE ads on the Internet will EASILY get a larger response.) Also assume that everyone else in YOUR ORGANIZATION gets ONLY 10 down line members. Follow this example to achieve the STAGGERING results below. 1st level--your 10 members with$5...................................$50 2nd level--10 members from those 10 ($5 x 100)..................$500 3rd level--10 members from those 100 ($5 x 1,000)..........$5,000 4th level--10 members from those 1,000 ($5 x 10,000)...$50,000 THIS TOTALS----------->$55,550 Remember friends, this assumes that the people who participate only recruit 10 people each. Think for a moment what would happen if they got 20 people to participate! Most people get 100's of participants! THINK ABOUT IT! Your cost to participate in this is practically nothing (surely you can afford $20 for a chance to make $ 55,000). You obviously already have an Internet connection and e-mail is FREE!!! REPORT# 3 shows you the most productive methods for bulk e-mailing and purchasing e-mail lists. Some list & bulk e-mail vendors even work on trade! About 50,000 new people get online every month! *******TIPS FOR SUCCESS******* * TREAT THIS AS YOUR BUSINESS! Be prompt, professional, and follow the directions accurately. * Send for the four reports IMMEDIATELY so you will have them when the orders start coming in because: When you receive a $5 order, you MUST send out the requested product/report to comply with the U.S. Postal & Lottery Laws, Title 18,Sections 1302 and 1341 or Title 18, Section 3005 in the U.S. Code, also Code of Federal Regs. Vol.. 16, Sections 255 and 436, which state that "a product or service must be exchanged for money received." * ALWAYS PROVIDE SAME-DAY SERVICE ON THE ORDERS YOU RECEIVE. * Be patient and persistent with this program. If you follow the instructions exactly, the results WILL undoubtedly be SUCCESSFUL! * ABOVE ALL, HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF AND KNOW YOU WILL SUCCEED! *******YOUR SUCCESS GUIDELINE******* Follow these guidelines to guarantee your success: I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH HOW IMPORTANT THIS NEXT SECTION IS!!!! If you don't receive 10 to 20 orders for REPORT #1 within two weeks, continue advertising until you do. Then, a couple of weeks later you should receive at least 100 orders for REPORT #2. If you don't, continue advertising until you do. Once you have received 100 or more orders for REPORT #2, YOU CAN RELAX, because the system is already working for you, and the cash will continue to roll in! THIS IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER: Every time your name is moved down on the list, you are placed in front of a DIFFERENT report. You can KEEP TRACK of your PROGRESS by watching which report people are ordering from you. If you want to generate more income, send another batch of e-mails and start the whole process again! There is no limit to the income you will generate from this business!

Enough to make you puke: gore on privacy
by Count of Monte Carlo 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

`one of the worst things to happen to privacy since Alan Funt' Friday July 31 12:24 PM EDT Gore Seeks New Web Privacy Laws TED BRIDIS Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Calling privacy a ``basic American value,'' Vice President Al Gore pressed today for new federal laws to prevent companies from collecting personal information from children who use Internet Web sites, chat rooms and e-mail. Among its first steps toward crafting an ``Electronic Bill of Rights,'' the Clinton administration also wants to suspend plans to assign every American a health-care ID number and proposed a new role for the Office of Management and Budget in writing privacy rules. Gore said citizens' rights to decide whether to allow companies to collect personal information, dictate what type of data is collected and review it for accuracy ``do not have sufficient protections by a long shot.'' Gore, who first described such a bill of rights in May, pressed for new laws against identity fraud and for new protections of consumer credit reports. ``Privacy is a basic American value, in the information age and in every age,'' Gore said. ``It must be protected. We need an electronic bill of rights for this electronic age.'' Gore said the announcements ``will make technology consistent with America's oldest values.'' Privacy has become a politically popular issue, amid growing concern among Americans about high-tech intrusions into their personal lives. ``We're beginning to see the flesh put on the bones,'' said Deirdre Mulligan, a privacy specialist at the Center for Democracy and Technology in Washington. ``These are very specific proposals that respond to issues that advocates and the public have raised.'' Critics have complained about a 1996 law that would assign everyone a computer number to track health care from birth to death, noting that it allows insurance companies, doctors, drug stores and others to release medical records for broadly defined ``health care operations.'' Gore today called it ``one of the worst things to happen to privacy since Alan Funt,'' who created the ``Candid Camera'' television series. ``It appears the White House is at least beginning to take privacy seriously,'' said Barry Steinhardt, president of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a civil liberties group. He called it ``a very important step that significantly improves the outlook for medical privacy.'' Children on the Internet would find new protections under Gore's plans. Federal regulators said this summer that many companies collect personal information from children online, sometimes asking for their names and e-mail addresses - even questions about their personal finances - using animated characters or as an incentive to join a contest or play a game. ``You don't do business with an 11-year-old without parental consent,'' said Robert Pitofsky, chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, which already has asked Congress for new laws limiting how Web sites collect information from kids. ``The information that is requested on these Web sites appears to be so innocent, very harmless,'' said Sen. Richard Bryan, D-Nev., who introduced a bill that would require companies to obtain a parent's permission before they collect information from children under 12. ``But they do invade a family's privacy and raise safety concerns.'' The White House is not calling for relaxed restrictions on powerful data-scrambling technology, called encryption, which helps keep e-mail and other messages confidential but also can be used by criminals. ``On the main privacy issues, the ones that confront the country today, the administration is still reluctant to make the hard decisions,'' said Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, which has lobbied for broader use of encryption. The administration also is pledging its support for the online industry to find ways to better protect the privacy of adults on the Web, such as recent efforts by the Online Privacy Alliance, a newly formed group of 50 companies and trade groups that include Microsoft, America Online and IBM. Gore recently warned computer industry executives that if self-regulation does not work, ``we will be obliged to take action ourselves.'' The FTC told Congress it should pass tough new privacy laws for adults if the industry's own efforts do not improve by year's end. Advocates generally praised plans for the new federal privacy office, but noted that OMB - the new office's parent agency - has itself been criticized for failing to enforce existing federal privacy laws. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

RFC re simple anti-censorship strategy
by Jim Cook 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

(copy posted to alt.cypherpunks) Motivated by Chiquita's recent censorship of the Cincinnati Inquirer -- and more generally by the challenge of making suppressed documents available on the web without exposing webmasters or their ISPs to legal liability -- I've developed a simple strategy. The approach is similar to Adam Back's Eternity Service in that it combines anonymous posts to Usenet with a news-to-web interface. Unlike Adam's approach, posts are not encrypted -- and are therefore easier to find and cancel. OTOH, this approach is easier, and does not require root privileges, to implement Please see <http://www.panix.com/~jimcook/ntw-test.html> for the demonstration. I welcome comments.

Yea, well that's been a problem for years now, which makes it no less relevant today, but it's hardly news. The author calls this condition at state of war. He's quite right. If the tyrant has any opposition it's from the criminal class, with the liberty squad standing mainly on the side lines giving an occassional muffled cheer and sometimes looking on to see what kind of tactics are being used by the crooks with hopes that they might learn some tactics they were not brave enough to employ themselves. I do not, however, know of any war waged successfully where the opposition is as scattered as the liberty crowd is, therefore, it is being waged on an individual basis with technology, stealth, and the occassional government that has yet to bend its knee to Uncle Sammy (which, by the way, are becoming fewer, not more).

Data Fellows introduces F-Secure NameSurfer version 2.0
by Nina Huupponen 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

For immediate release 3 August 1998 DATA FELLOWS INTRODUCES F-SECURE NAMESURFER VERSION 2.0 Helsinki, Finland, August 3rd, 1998 -- Data Fellows, the global leader in Internet security solutions, has today announced F-Secure Namesurfer 2.0, a new version of its DNS (Domain Name System) management tool. DNS translates host names to IP addresses, which makes it a critical component of IP-based networks. F-Secure NameSurfer provides network managers with an easy-to-use Web interface for DNS administration, saving time and maintenance resources. Its intuitive graphical user interface and automatic error checking prevent network managers from generating faulty DNS data. Faulty DNS data can bring down an entire IP network, so accurate DNS data is essential for reliable and secure intranets and Internet. F-Secure NameSurfer 2.0 has been extensively restructured to achieve peerless performance, especially in large DNS installations. The new version can prevent a network manager from creating records with IP addresses that fall outside his own network. Thus, ISPs can grant their customers permission to change addresses, with the assurance that customers will stay within their own network zone. F-Secure NameSurfer provides significant savings in network management. The intuitive interface reduces the time needed to create DNS configurations. The configurations can be done remotely and by several network managers with personal administration rights. Routine tasks can be delegated to clerical staff. Ultimately, even end-users and ISP customers can manage their own DNS data, using a Web browser. Prime target customers for F-Secure Name Surfer are telecommunication operators, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), and other organizations that need the best tool in the market to manage Internet or intranet security. NameSurfer users include ISPs (such as US WEST !NTERACT, Concentric Network Corp., and FUNET - the Finnish University and Research Network), and international corporations (such as Barclays Bank PLC, Motorola, and UPM-Kymmene). F-Secure NameSurfer 2.0 will be available from Data Fellows' resellers around the world in September 1998. The product will be available for all popular UNIX platforms. Pricing will start at $990. About Data Fellows Data Fellows is one of the worlds leading developers of data security software. The companys ground-breaking F-Secure products provide a unique combination of globally available strong encryption and revolutionary anti-virus software. The integrated F-Secure software family provides complete security solutions for enterprises of any size.

Mitchell 8/3/98 14:18 phone conversation
by bill payne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Monday 8/3/98 3:41 PM FAX Jan Elizabeth Mitchell Assistant U.S. Attorney U.S. Department of Justice United States Attorney District of New Mexico Post Office Box 607 Albuquerque, NM 87103 505/346-7274 505/766-2868 FAX 505/346-7205 Dear Ms Mitchell: Purpose of the fax is to 1 review points covered in our 8/3/98 14:18 phone conversation 2 suggest settlement. You phoned me today. You told me that you planned to file a motion or response to the Tenth circuits request Morales and my response to the jurisdictional issue on the 21st of August. I told you that this was premature on your part since we had moved for a second time for an extension of time. I told you also that this matter was now before congress. You appeared to indicate to me that you were in the process of adding both Morales and Minihan as named parties in this appeal. You asked me if it would be agreeable to us if you filed a response to the Tenth circuit 21 days AFTER Morales and I filed our response to the Tenth circuit on the jurisdictional issue. I AGREED. I spoke to Morales on the phone shortly after our phone conversation. Arguing points of law before court clerks and judges who have outstanding criminal complaint affidavits for crimes COMMITTED IN WRITING againtst them would be unproductive on Morales and my part. Therefore, we will proceed to resolve the criminal conduct on the part of judges and court clerks before we proceed further in this matter. We will do this at the Congressional level. Senate Judiciary Committe chairman Orrin Hatch, unfortunately, failed to properly process a valid complaint on New Mexico district court chief judge John Conway in 1995. http://www.jya.com/whp071598.htm Hatchs failure to properly respond in 1995, in large part, caused our current legal conflict with DIR NSA Minihan. We foresee an unfortunate escalation of hostilities if this matter proceeds as it is. We do not wish this. We seek settlement of the UNFORTUNATE matter at the earliest time. We ask your and Congressional help to settle this UNFORTUNATE matter before it gets WORSE. If I have made any essential material errors in reporting my impression of the contents of our conversation, then I would appreciate you giving your impression of possible errors. You can do this in the letter you said you would write to us. Sincerely, bill payne 13015 Calle de Sandias NE Albuquerque, NM 87111 Distribution Senate Judiciary Committee e-mail Arthur R Morales e-mail

A couple excerpts from jya's transcript: On the EFF DES cracker: Now, I need to explain first of all, that the government is currently permitting the export of 56 bit encryption algorithms. Now, I know that there's some huffing and puffing about whether that's strong encryption or not. But again, I say let's put this in context. There was a flap here the other day when, ta-da, somebody invented a computer that could break 56 bit encryption in 30 hours or 40 hours or whatever the time was, right. You took 40 hours to decrypt a two-second message. And it was good only for that one message. You've got to start all over again on the next two-second message. Tell me that that isn't strong encryption. [Secretary Hamre, that isn't strong encryption. Weak enough that cracking DES keys for two grand each -- reasonable price considering some of the applications using DES -- can be a viable business for the shady hacker type, in fact. Pays for your parts in ten months, pocket most everything else until the machine breaks.] On export controls: "...I'd also ask American business not to make a campaign out of just trying to bust through export controls as though somehow there was a God-given, inherent right to send the strongest encryption to anybody in the world, no matter who they are. I don't agree with that. I will never agree with that."

Do you really have this much time on your hands? Man yer gonna attract the wrong attention by saying that shit, your not a very convincing 12 year old, I can see the monster glow in your eyes, the same one my sister met that day in the park. If you are 12, and are really as stupid as I think you are, and want to meet the 38 year old monster in the park, Then I say go for it, hell its not like i or anyone else really give a shit about you anyway. And if you think this is cool, then you are way the fuck off base.

What characteristics make a jurisdiction (sovereign power) a good "safe-haven?"

Whom they will destroy they first make mad.

Tuesday 8/4/98 7:45 AM J Orlin Grabbe I liked your article. http://www.aci.net/kalliste/apocalyp.htm Reminds me of one of my favorite books. The Great Crash by John Kenneth Galbraith. Since you are a Harvard grad, mathematician Garrett Birkhoff bought me lunch at the Harvard faculty club in about 1976. We were making plans to get a machine combinatoric and stochastic algorithm subprogram library written. Like LINPACK, etc. But NSA killed that project and my NSF grant DCR75-08822. See Bruce Barns, the Puzzle Palace by James Bamford. We returned from Durango on Monday afternoon. I have some INSIDE news from the wife of a former AF base commander in Turkey about 1 Ron Brown's flight 2 Khobar towers 1 The AF warned the White House not to fly Brown's flight because of bad weather. Advice issued from Ramstein. Advice ignored. White House removed Ramstein AF base commander. 2 AF base commander was removed for the Khobar incident although base commander had nothing to do with lack of security. Former Kirland AFB and new base commander are buddies with our friends in Durango. I think that we have made the government MAD. http://jya.com/whpfiles.htm Wayland told me yesterday that the Texas A&M profs went over the reasons for rejection of their SBIR grant. One of the MAIN reasons, Wayland told me, was the grant did not spell-out the WAY the profs were going to IMPLEMENT their idea. My attached method for ACCOMPLISHING the goal was included with the prof's REQUESTED revision of their SBIR grant, Wayland told me. I am getting enmeshed in techie stuff. I need and WANT to finish the digital FX PRONTO. Let's all hope for settlement of the UNFORTUNATE mess before it gets WORSE. bill Tuesday 8/4/98 7:06 AM tech(a)cyberpowersystems.com www.cyberpowersystems.com 512/238-9905 Yesterday I was trying to send a e-mail QUICK. I did not close the PowerPanel Window before invoking IE and the external ZOOM Flex modem software. Dial-Up Networking window in Windows 95B reads ! The modem is being used by another Dial-Up Networking connection or another program. Disconnect the other connection or close the program, and then try again OK I disabled the decode on the Superhigh Speed Serial Card by NOT JUMPERing any addresses. Guys, it appears to me AT THE MOMENT that the problem is that the CyberPower code is interfering with the Dial-Up Networking software within Windows 95. It would be nice to be able to use BOTH the CyberPower auto shutdown feature and Internet at the same time. I realize that the software problem is likely in Windows 95 but I am NOT OPTIMISTIC that Microsoft will fix the problem. Therefore. Got any fixes? I will phone tech support later today. I am not reading e-mail. Thanks in advance. bill WEED KILLER computer interface proposal section 7/27/98 10:11 AM Solution to controlling and collecting data from the WEED KILLER involves interfacing a personal computer running a version of the Windows operating system to the WEED KILLER analog/digital hardware. Windows is not a real-time operating system, therefore microcontroller controller/collector hardware interface must be installed between a Wintel PC and the WEED KILLER hardware. Essence of the Wintel data collector problem is that Windows 3.x or 9x responds to a hardware interrupt usually between 70 to 150 microseconds. In rare occasions the interrupt latency may extend to 1.5 milliseconds or even longer. A microcontroller responds to an interrupt in several microseconds. Wintel hardware controller interface is even more difficult than collection for the reason that the Windows operating system only gives control to an application when Windows decides. In the collection, mode at least a hardware interrupt signals Windows that the application wants control. However, the microcontroller can send the Wintel an interrupt asking the applications code whether there is any message it needs to send the microcontroller. Microcontrollers have specialized timers, serial expansion ports and are, therefore, designed to be interfaced to analog and digital hardware. An 80C32 family microcontroller is proposed for the WEED KILLER application for reasons. 1 The 80C32 will do the job. 2 Multiple vendors of 80C32 guarantee future supply at a competitive price. Current suppliers include Intel, AMD, Winbond, Dallas, Philips, Siemens, OKI, ATMEL, ... 3 High-speed parallel port bi-directional IEEE 1284 enhanced capability port 9 (ecp) communications hardware between an 80C32 and PC is in the final stage of development. 4 IEEE 1284 hardware drivers are supplied with Windows NT. Custom assembler dll drivers are available for 9x and 3.x. 5 A public-domain Forth 8051 operating system hosting a high-level language and interactive assembler with complete source code documentation is available on Internet. http://jya.com/f86/whpf86.htm Hardcover book further documenting 5 is available from Academic Press. http://www.apcatalog.com/cgi-bin/AP?ISBN=0125475705&LOCATION=US&FORM=FORM2 Only a Wintel machine is required for both hardware and software for the WEED KILLER project. Usually a Forth hardware/software development probject on requres a voltmeter, logic probe, and, infrequently, an oscilloscope. Reason is the INTERACTIVE control of the hardware and software from a PC keyboard and diagnostic information easily printed to a PC monitor. Justification for assertion made in the above paragraph comes from Internet. NASA uses Forth extensively for its space programs. http://groucho.gsfc.nasa.gov/forth/ Ballard used polyForth http://av.yahoo.com/bin/query?p=polyforth&z=2&hc=0&hs=0 to locate wrecks of the Titanic, Bismarck, and Yorktown. http://www.nationalgeographic.com/features/98/midway Sun Microsystems workstation boot into Forth then invokes Solaris. http://playground.sun.com/pub/1275/ Adobe Postscript is a version of Forth. http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/language/forth-postscript.html Video game software are written mostly in Forth. The Wintel side of the WEED KILLER project will be most-likely written in a small amount of assembler interface code and Visual Basic. While Forth threaded code software technology is extremely valuable in some settings, it is not in others. Java is a variation of Forth. http://www.mrl.nyu.edu/meyer/jvmref/ Future of Java on Wintel machines is unclear at this time. For example, The hottest items among techies is a browser called Opera. This is a $40 shareware program that in speed and compact size buts both IE and Communicator to shame. It has a slightly different interface from either of the majors - an interface some find refreshing while other find less than useful. As it's shareware, you can try and then buy if you like it. One reason for its speed is that it ignores Java - the Internet's Bandwidth Pig (IBP). The Rumor Mill by Paul Cassel ComputerScene Magazine July 1998 Forth executes code High-level at about 10% the speed of a compiled high-level language. Speed of execution of small applications is not effected by Forths slow execution. Reason is that initial code is written in high-level Forth. Inner loops are then translated into Forth assembler. Speed is maintained with the advantage that data structures are created an maintained in high-level language while the interactive operating system is retained for trouble shooting both hardware and software problem. Hardware cost of building the 80C32 the WEED KILLER boards is estimated at $10k. Hardware design is estimated at 1 month labor at $50/hr for a total of $8k. Software development on the 80C32 side in Forth and Forth assembler, software on the Wintel side in Visual Basic and assembler, documentation, and training is estimated to be 4 months for a total of $32k /\/\/\ end

Frederick Burroughs <riburr(a)shentel.net> responded: Economically? In the view of former ARVN (south-vietnamese army) officer I used to work with, government stability was a big requirement (anarchists take note). Stability measured as the system of government, not holders of offices. Of course it's easy to understand his position in light of his country's recent history. Despite his foreign attributes, he was the source of some amusement and interesting tidbits. Government stability depends on many variables, but history can and is used by those with holdings as a simple measure. Then again, a good "safe haven" doesn't necessarily offer the biggest return (or loss) on your investment. [...end original...] (I left the subject in the body of this message as these remailers sometimes clip the subject field.) Good comments. History is useful for measuring not only stability, but many facets. Cases: 1. Anguilla & Cate coming under pressure from Argentina. Would you say that Cate's customer might have thought that a Carribean island might be a safe haven? 2. Recent law suits over what people say about other people or companies. There doesn't appear to be much security there for data between the u.s., canada and g.b. Therefore, where can you find safety from intrusion by your host government, whether they don't like what is on your server or another government or person doesn't like what is on your computer? Has anyone tackled this question in a studied way? (Yes, I know that a number of good law firms would offer me an opinion for $350/hr.) The only answer I can find, so far (and hence the question), is moving the data, which gets expensive. It would seem that putting the data in a known safe haven in the first place would be a better method of protecting it and then move it if assaulted.
