New Free Educational Sites
by Kevin Keil 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Just a brief note to let you know about two new educational sites that are interactive and intended for non-technical audiences. I thought you might be interested in these new programs. Human Anatomy On-line covers the subject of the anatomy and Automotive Learning On-line covers the subject of automobiles. They include hundreds of graphics, educational information and animations. These two programs are free to the Internet community. This is a great resource that delivers educational material for schoolchildren to adults. I hope that you will find them to be of high quality and educational. Thank you for your time. Human Anatomy On-line is located at http://www.innerbody.com Automotive Learning On-line is located at http://www.innerauto.com Kevin Keil Webmaster Informative Graphics Corp Webmaster(a)innerbody.com NOTE: This address was located on a web page and used to notify you of this information. I will not be contacting you again unless requested.

unruly cult members
by nobody＠replay.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Would cult members kindly stop bickering and straying from the party line? All this argument questioning sacred dogma is anti-cypherpunk, and clearly bought on by failure to recite the daily mantra: "Krispin-hare-hare-krispin government is evil Krispin-hare-hare-krispin nuke washington DC Krispin-hare-hare-krispin gun down graffiti kids Krispin-hare-hare-krispin sterelize the proles" You're becoming so unpredictable, this is sacrilege, cult members are supposed to unquestioningly follow sacred dogma.

Informative web sites?
by OrangeJoe＠aol.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Do U have any good web sites that can give me information about people and companies that they would NOT like us to get? I do Private investigations. I can get most anything I need, but it cost too much money. I know that there are sites that I should be able to get to that I can get information for free and direct from the government. Thanks Joe OrangeJoe(a)aol.com

Onn Fri, 22 Aug 1997, John Young apparently forwarded from: "$treet Journal, August 22, 1997, p. A7A.": > On the bright side, cryptologists agree that the > decades-old encryption method that Crypto-Logic is claiming > to use -- called a "one-time pad" -- is theoretically > unbreakable.

(Well, not literally, but smiling.) The "How it works" link on their site is broken :-), so what they're basically saying is "here is some encrypted text, I bet you can't crack it." ----- UP -----??daU?????dr1wEFssYNOgvLDiCyZ296C51VPUo9Mi0BIHMnZTSveVPXb?02G 47ECGIA2UoZgy0Kl!?91zW9SqF05kDlR!fYDPbbP9hH8J0CDLDrFfO3N7CxVur?QJ o22aPgHyUmFpdbg7G!iQSZaHAOELipdS?m7KzGmxylN!kd2otaKISSRilW5HV00221 !jRTYbYOsb9fFpzbxRGeUjvozbviGE00rO?UdhzQ04aPV9ZoB0eJl0o6gA3YJuivVPPyr V6jF3dYhDEba9o4oO1oDaGxRoKEhNEPtGm4UxWxCriUcUEsJRfb7bIXhdwMcW5g CHd7ezbbXO4KD3IWPa67EgoMg42aiRiVtIuhu!So!dRW8lMVOhHx68Co?TPAm7dq dGiGcv1lVheiwX3fpxxy3rMIMpEV-q3s9OF----- End ----- Idiots.

CAST key size
by Unicorn 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hi Guys, Just a quick question on the keysize of the CAST algorithm. According to the bible of Bruce, CAST uses a 64 bit keysize, while in the manual of PGP 5.0 (page 89), Phill states that CAST uses a 128 bit keysize... Am I missing something?

Big thing with video >camers, motion sensors and plungomatic securaty gards. Uh, don't you mean "instead of paying a large amount of money to the government and a small amount of money for a security system, you now just pay a small amount of money for the security system"? Or do you live in a different reality to the rest of us, whose cops are so fuck-awful that we have to both pay their wages and the obscene costs of our corrupt legal system, then pay extra to actually protect ourselves? Guns and cameras are cheap compared to paying donut-hogs to examine rectums with plungers. CopPlunger
