Hackers Tell About Security Woes WASHINGTON (AP) - Computer hackers told Congress today that computer security is so lax, they could disable the entire Internet in a half-hour. Members of the hacker think-tank called ``The Loft,'' who were praised by senators for calling attention to the problems of computer security, also warned that they could transfer Federal Reserve funds by computer and disrupt electrical power. One hacker, identified by his online handle ``Mudge,'' told the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee ``if you're looking for computer security then the Internet is not the place to be.''

Click or type here : http://www.investorsedge.net www.investorsedge.net Here is a sample of a Market Alert. Power Technology, Inc. Years Ahead of it's competitors 5/18/98 Market Alert Power Technology PWTC (OTC: BB: PWTC) Time to start to accumulating. We have learned that the company is about to have a major event. Here is a brief description of the company. Power Technology's (OTC BB:PWTC), principal offices and laboratory are located at 1000 West Bonanza Rd. Las Vegas, Nevada 89106. The centrally located warehouse, laboratory, office structure, owned by Alvin Snaper, is a two-story 30,000 square foot building. The Company utilities 5,000 square feet for the development and testing battery technology for electric automobiles and other uses. Current technology in the automotive battery industry utilizes a 6 to12 volt battery system that employs standard electro-plates with lead-acid chemistries. Power Technology has developed with already proven technology, a batter that substantially lighter than the conventional battery and also have a quicker re-charge rate and will be more cost effective. Because this new technology does not use lead, this product will be environmentally friendly. The potential market for the new Power Technology battery could be any application that utilizes the conventional lead-acid technology. Also the current target market for Power Technology's battery will be the new environmentally friendly electric car. Until recent amendments postponed legislation, the California Air Resources Board decreed that 2% of vehicles sold in California by major automakers must meet a zero-emissions vehicle standard by the year 1998. By the year 2003, 10% of automakers sales mix in California must be electric. In addition clean-air-regulators in a dozen Northeastern states and Washington, DC are considering adopting the same air-quality standards as in California, which could result in an electric vehicle mandate covering roughly 40% of the US car and light-truck market. The electric cars produce to-date have battery packs that last between 25,000 and 30,000 miles and require a two to three hour recharge using a 220-volt outlet or six to 10 ten hour recharge using a 110-volt outlet and cost about $2000 to $2,500 to replace. Still, these operating and recharge statistics only apply to electric cars or batteries operating at room temperature. At higher temperatures, like those found on sun-soaked asphalt highways (approximately 50% of North America), battery life is drastically diminished. Currently electric cars will carry two people about 50 miles on a hot day. With this kind of performance the consumer will be very limited to where and how far they are able to drive. The Battery that Power Technology has developed will let a consumer drive approximately 250 miles one a normal charge. The recharge time on a 110-volt outlet is approximately 3 hours. The Power Tech battery also does not contain any harmful materials. Two weeks ago I saw a prototype of the Battery and spoke to the inventor, Mr. Alan Snaper. The company currently has about $500.000 in the bank and is in discussions with several major companies and governmental agencies regarding this product. Currently Power Technology (OTC.BB) trades around 5 dollars a share. The company just recently started to trade. In my opinion Power Technology is undervalued. I believe this company will do very well in 1998. This is one of those undiscovered, overlooked companies on Wall Street. I really can't even project the potential of this company. 10 to 15 a share by the end of 1998 is extremely conservative. Take a look at the management. The stock should be 10 just based on the management's resume. Management: Alvin A. Snaper, is the company's vice-president of development and the project coordinator for the new technology. He has been engaged in scientific research and development of products and processes for 30 years. His well known inventions include the IBM Selectic Ball, Tang (the Orange drink), the NASA Apollo Photo-pack and a line of industrial hard coatings currently used by companies such as Gillette, Boeing, TRW, Vermont-American, Gulf Western and many others. Mr. Snapper currently holds 600 U.S. and foreign patents, products and processes. Mr. Snaper is the only inventor to receive the Design News Magazine Best Patent of the Year award for three separate years. In fact he is the only individual to receive more than one such citation. Charles Warn is the Chief chemical engineer for the project. He has over 40 years experience in development and project engineering and design expertise in a variety of different disciplines. His past experience includes working with General Motors and Parker-Hannifin with high performance aircraft fuel systems. Chances are that one of the big three automakers will buy out Power Technology. Due to no exposure in the financial industry, Power is undiscovered and a screaming buy.

Suit with braindead tie

Netscape dubbed it a > welcome but only an "initial step." > > [...remainder snipped...] I wonder if anyone else has picked up on the "Braindead military action" of awarding Microsoft the dubiously coveted intelligence desktop? It may not be as braindead as you think. Yes, if standard kickbacks and BS occur as they have in the past (those who are not free to speak about the mistakes of the past may be doomed to see them repeated) then technical support for the poor troopies required to maintain the shitty, buggy NT ports may end up making "Blue Screen Of Death" have an entirely new and sad meaning. It's sad that the lack of the intelligence community's desire to police itself as much as it would like to police America's generic civilians results in the sort of kickbacking that yields inferior weaponry, but I guess if they don't address that it will end up biting them in the ass. And yes, that is indeed indicative of a braindead military, led by the supreme oxymoron of a braindead military intelligence community, where the dutiful are asked to turn their eyes away (for reasons of classification, of course) from the acts of the greedy. But assume for a moment that it might be the military and not M$oft that holds the leash on the contract. Imagine a Microsoft that has sold it's soul to the US Intel community. Couldn't happen to a nicer company, don't you think? Microsoft HAVING to port their NT stuff to the Unix boxes that hold the databases and the communications servers. Microsoft HAVING to provide a certain amount of "mission critical" tech support. Microsoft HAVING to deal with adapting to the real world, rather than forcing the world to adapt to it. This could be the beginning of a beautiful "friendship". >;-7 -- "Good evening, Mr. Burglar!

Re: Chaum's patent on traceable payment systems
by John Young 17 Dec '03

Chaum's "limited-traceability" patent includes other features which directly counterbalance those of the Abstract accurately posted by Anonymous. We've transcribed the initial sections of the 17-page patent which provide a fuller view of what his system offers: http://jya.com/chaum-lts.htm It's an interesting, nuanced proposal, from 1994, which helps explain some of the strategy he's been keeping close to his chest until patent approval, and which may portend more provocative designs in the pipeline for outfoxing the keepers of the chickens.
