danisch(a)ira.uka.de (Hadmut Danisch): > Can anyone give me hints to books, articles, algorithms or software > for speech compression? Is CELP public available? CELP C code for SPARCs is ftp from: furmint.nectar.cmu.edu celp.audio.compression/ super.org /pub/celp_3.2a.tar.Z There is a lot of info, source etc available. Pick up part 1 of the compression faq. You can get it from news.answers, or the archive at rtfm. I think that's rtfm.mit.edu /pub/Usenet-by-heirarchy/comp/compression/* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rishab Aiyer Ghosh "What is civilisation rishab(a)doe.ernet.in, rishab(a)dxm.ernet.in but a ribonucleic Voicemail +91 11 3760335; Vox/Fax/Data 6853410 hangover?"

Someone asks: B >Do you know why Phil thinks the cypherpunks are a "nut group" (or B >something to that effect)? B > Phil was active in the Nuclear Freeze movement and is vauguely in the 'conventional' left. He doesn't like right-wing nuts or libertarian anarchists. He hopes strong crypto will just restrain the State rather than rendering it technologically obsolete. DCF Privacy 101 - You cannot be forced to either own a car or only drive cars you own.

Yes, there are some new versions out, but they're still not particularily secure. There are various programs to break them, you could look on ftp soda.berkeley.edu, but you seem to be on UUCP so I don't know if you can FTP or not...

RE: Safeway + Your Privacy

From: killbarny(a)aol.com> Hopefully, someone will have this awful thing happen to them and sue the Shit out of Safeway for being so negligent. Peter Mc Gowan, the asshole who owns Safeway, sized down his employees [so his shareholders could make more millions], . . . . . These databases are already collecting information every time we do not pay in cash. Those bar codes record everything. Safeway has taken this a bit higher, and I only wish I had someone steal my checkbook and take Safeway to the cleaners. .............................................. Now that you know how negligent Safeway is and how their database is being used, you can choose an alternate place to shop for groceries, thus preserving your privacy as well as preventing the support of their shareholders.

I am new to the list and learning rapidly. However I have a couple of questions: 1) How is it that I sign a message with PGP and still have the message be in plaintext? I know this is trivial to most, but new to me. 2) I know that there were programs out there that would break the protection scheme for ZIP and ARJ files (older versions of both), is there new ones out and what are their keys based on? Sorry for the inconvenience, but I am trying to learn.

My Job

Russell, Thanks for the info and encouragement. My job entails accrediting 5 VAX systems, two of which are running Ultrix, a Share system, and a Banyan LAN. I also am in charge of anti-virus software for the LAN. I am working on digital signatures, since we have a problem with forgery around here. Also I am working implementing PGP on a large around the compound. I want to get in depth with cryptology, and learn as much as I can as fast as I can. Please, if you have questions, ask them to me if I can help, as I know I will bother the list with mine. I learned about the list from the bugtraq discussion list. Thanks !

Leahy on Supreme Court?
by jimn8＠netcom.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

In an article on clari.news.gov.usa, Sen. Patrick Leahy was mentioned as a possible candidate for Supreme Court nomination. >From reading his comments, it would appear he's capable of thinking critically regarding privacy and commerce issues. Would it make sense to encourage his nomination, where we might have an ally on the Supreme Court, or to discourage it and leave him in charge of the committees? Who's likely to succeed Leahy in the telecommunications committee, and do we know their stance on Clipper? - Jim Nitchals (jimn8(a)netcom.com)

I figured it out the first damn time I saw it. I don't need a copy for every post to the c-punks list. The way they should work is send the notice the first time the rejection is activated. After that it should not send any kind of responce, I am being rejected after all....
