This discussion sounds similar to the "C vs. Assembler" thread that's been raging on comp.lang.c for the past couple of months. The general consensus seems to be that on an x86 processor, using C for most of your program and using assembler sparingly is the best way to go. Plus, most compilers will produce code that runs about 1.2 - 1.5 times slower than your average assembler code. You mileage, of course, will vary. ----------------------------------------------- John Poole, 2A AM/CS, University of Waterloo http://www.undergrad.math.uwaterloo.ca/~jfpoole "I've gone too far, for too little."

Looking for: "Electromagnetic Radiation from Video Display Units: An Eavesdropping Risk?" by Wim Van Eck, published in "Computers & Security," 1985, Vol 4 and "Protective Measures Against Compromising Electromagnetic Radiation Emitted by Video Display Terminals" by Professor Erhard Moller, Aachen University, 1990 (no source citation) Haven't found an electronic version of either of these yet, and will visit the good old "paper-based" library next week if no pointers show up. Thanks in advance... Joel

Dale, perhaps it's time for you to seek out a new career. Check that LA "Not a real paper" Times for things like "car wash assistant needed" and good luck.

Carto international money-laundering/embezzlement case

Carto of Liberty Lobby fame Apologies for replying to a crank whom most people are already ignoring, but I've got lots of material relating to the case of Legion v. Carto, which Dale summarizes quite wrongly, at http://www-leland.stanford.edu/~llurch/potw2/legion/ Cypherpunk relevance: HUGE. Money laundering, reputation control, data and tax havens, libertarian and Nazi fantasies, criminal cults, and a dog named Fido. Judge Maino: | I believe that I could appoint a platoon of lawyers and accountants | to look into this case and I would still not be much closer to answering | the following questions than I am today. The reason the truth will never | be fully known is because the parties, all highly intelligent and | capable, seem to have spent their lives forming organizations and then | transferring money between these organizations to avoid problems with | their opponents or the government. A good example of this is Ms. Farrel. | She gives up U.S. Citizenship, takes Columbian citizenship, and resides | in Switzerland to avoid taxes. She keeps her assets in the U.S., England, | Switzerland, Germany, Singapore and Japan. She sets up a Liberian | corporation, Neca, to take charge of her assets for the Legion which is a | Texas corporation doing business in California. Far from Dale's preoccupation with "international joo interests," it's a case of two neo-Nazi groups suing each other over the mismanagement of an inheritance. Stir in a little CoS interest (they want to cover up Marcellus's involvement with Holocaust denial and to associate recent legal actions against the cult in Germany with the Holocaust), and it's a veritable cornucopia of fruitcakes bashing each other, all over money for which no clear accounting can be made because it was always kept at least partly underground. Would that we could all do so well. The judge's letter on how he saw the witnesses is *very* entertaining. It's legion-vs-carto-letter.html in the above directory, but by all means, read it all. If you have soft copies of anything The Spotlight or any other pro-Carto rag has to say for itself, I'd be delighted to archive them, too. - -rich -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQBVAwUBMrT+85NcNyVVy0jxAQHhewIArARpR1DeaX+dKeyB+nAbL0otSEbtfO+I kRrfJMG6rR9TrMXPcRpj/ViWXvqEPOMNJoUXjv3xGfT6MoXcsuPFhQ== =f60U -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Aside from that, the traceroute of that IP address just happens to take it to nlights.net, which is apparently somehow affiliated with AOL, but in any case, the WWW pages the spam points to just HAPPEN to list down at the bottom an email address to contact the author which isn't a remailing service like geocities or hotmail. It's zerofaith(a)nlights.net. ^^^^^^^^^^^ Normally I don't like to call people liars in public, but I think that if Mr. Faith doesn't know who's responsible for the spam, then I'm the Queen of @#$%!
