This is forwarded from the cyberia-l list; looks like the judge has done the right thing (or at least for this phase) by allowing the Rio MP3 player to be shipped.

Yet Another letter from Toto
by David E. Smith 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

This letter, pornmarked 23 October 1998 from Springfield Missouri, has some good requests and the usual style of Toto-esque humor that we've all grown accustomed to. I hope I got the drug names spelled right, or at least as close to it as he did, because I know about some of these drugs and it sounds serious. (begin letter) Dave, I need some medical info, and Attila has shared some excellent material in the past with me, so I was hoping he might be able to send me Information Sheets on a few medications. (e.g. # Uses/Side Effects/Precuations/Interactions/etc.) I'd like info on Zoloft, Zestril, Lithium, & Deprecote (?sp) - orange-ish liquid capsules - ... and Tegretol and Respiradahl (?sp) Also, if he could find any InterNet material on Dr. Ruth Braun's current Tourette/Rage work, or similar info, I would appreciate him sending it to me. If I get much more Government `Help,' I'm going to be Dead, soon... (I think if you tell the shrinks here that you feel suicidal they handcuff your hands behind your back, stand you on the toilet, and suspend you from the light fixture by a rope around your neck - so that you don't hurt yourself, eh?) I'm trying to produce as much CypherSpam as possible while in Prison, so that the CypherPunks computers don't get Dusty & Moldy from sitting around with nothing to do. (I figure my best chance at being released from Prison is if the Manufacturers of <Delete> Keys petition the GovernMint in order to restore falling sales. "If it saves the life of a single innocent KillFile...") I'm learning a Trade at #9... Cuckoo Clock! Later Dude, Toto (end letter) ...dave

Are there any discussions about this dichotomy and how it came to pass? Something that asks the question of why they chose such widely seperate approaches? I would personaly guess the British have gotten a little paranoid they're set for pay-back-time since their empire's been crumbling for 200 years. I'm much less familiar with Dannish history (post-WWII) and how they developed this respect for Big Brother and its potential. ____________________________________________________________________ To know what is right and not to do it is the worst cowardice.

Re: lotus notes id file
by Joel O'Connor 17 Dec '03

Sorry guy, no gettingout of dodge on this one. There are no utilities, no programs, no way out. The only way to do this is to copy the "mail file" which will be in the c:\notes\data directory and blow away the id and recreate it. Then after this, copy the mail file back into the data directory. This will recreate your desktop view with the original folders and messages that you had. Otherwise, you're screwed. ---John <needshelp(a)mindspring.net> wrote: > > Hello > I'm using lotus notes and I have a big problem. I have a id file with no > password.

Re: lotus notes id file
by Diederik Smets 17 Dec '03

IF the owner of the id also entered an internet password AND it is the same as the one for the id file, then you can use brute force (dictionairies) to try and crack it. Get the encrypted value in the properties>fields>HTTPPassword of the persons document in the PNAB and compare it to the results of the @password() function. Alternatively, do a search for old id files which might still be accessible with the 'default' password (if you know which one that is), but you won't be able to access servers that have the 'check password' option enabled. If you need to access a local DB that has 'enforce a consistant ACL across all replicas' enabled, just use another id and add that person's name with the necessary roles to the ACL via LotusScript. Diederik Hello I'm using lotus notes and I have a big problem. I have a id file with no password. How can I get a password for it or reset it. Is there some type of utility or something someone knows of?I have been told that I'm out of luck unless I have the original. John...

Speed records, and brute force state of the art.
by Harvey Rook (Exchange) 17 Dec '03

>From the New York Times... WASHINGTON-The Energy Department will take delivery on Wednesday of what the Government says is the world's fastest computer, capable of a peak performance of 3.88 trillion calculations, or teraflops, a second. Just to simplify things, let's assume that 1 flop == 1 decryption. I know that's not true, but it's very close, and it's certainly less than one order of magnitude off. So, with this assumption how long does it take to break various key sizes? 56 bits -- 2^56 / 3.88E12 = 5.2 hours 64 bits -- 2^64 / 3.88E12 = 55 days 80 bits -- 2^80 / 3.88E12 = 9873 years 128 bits -- 2^128 / 3.88E12 = 2.8E18 years. And now you know. Harv.
