First off Alan posted private mail to the list. In this case mail that was more than simply personal. Secondly unless Alan withdraws his allegations I will bring proceedings against him for libel. While I accept his right to free speech I do not accept that he has a right to attempt to restrict mine with his threats of deportation. Phill Hallam-Baker

Where can I obtain code similar to the Anonymizer?
by mixmaster＠remail.obscura.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I am looking to find code so I can set up a "re-webber" similar to www.anonymizer.com. I thank Sameer and c2.org for nicely putting a service like that up on the Net, and am willing to pay a fee if necessary for this code. If Sameer's code is not available, what is needed to do a "re-webber"? I apologize for my inexperience in this kind of stuff. Thanks very much in advance,

Censorship through proxy
by Joel McNamara 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

SingNet, one of Singapore's larger ISPs is telling all of their subscribers they must move to using SingNet's proxy server by September 14, 1996 if they want to have access to the Web. If you try to access one of the SBA's banned sites, you'll get a message that says, "The site you requested is not accessible." Check out: http://www.singnet.com.sg/cache/sbareg.html It's interesting that in the blurb about the proxy server, they're marketing it as offering "better and faster performance" than not using it.

Naughty naughty Tim. You're violating the Immigration Control and Nationality Act of 1986. You are supposed to check all employee's IDs even your own childrens' and fill out that I-9 form. You have to verify identity and right to work using a menu of documents ranging from passports and SS cards to Driver's licenses and "American Indian Tribal Documents" (I gotta get me some of them). And there are special provisions to punish discrimination against those who appear foreign. After all, there are loads of illegal Canadians and Irish here. People are always coming from the third world counties. <G> The law also required that a commission study whether or not the "foreign appearing" were suffering discrimination because of the law and it reported a few years later that sure enough, they were.

Re: e$: Watching the MacRubble Bounce

Cypherpunks as a spectator sport becomes interesting when a several intelligent, articulate, people start a productive rant. Emphasis on "productive." Unfortunately, this rant is rapidly degenerating into an emotional bickering between people who are capable of accomplishing much more. For the record, there are several Apple employees, some *very* high up in the food chain, who receive selected postings from Cypherpunks. For better or for worse, however, they are spared pipebomb-punks, Sternlight-punks, Ritalin-punks, and most of the other nonsense that permeates this mailing list. I, for one, would appreciate the chance to hear Tim May present "crypto-anarchy" and "crypto-privacy" -- in a much more coherent fashion than I would get at a physical cypherpunks meeting or from the mailing list. I'm not sure what Tim's consulting fee might be, but I'd be happy to contribute a six-pack of Anchor Steam if that would help. Vinnie is putting the "Mac Crypto" conference together in his spare time using "borrowed" facilities in a way that stays below Apple's "radar horizon". Think of it as a slightly more formal physical cypherpunks meeting. He may be able to scare up a budget for drinks and munchies, but don't expect a t-shirt. As for the "Mac is dead," I'll leave that to another time and place. Martin Minow minow(a)apple.com

I have IE3 configured to ask me for permission to accept a cookie. Yes, some sites send (n!)+1 cookies during a session. If they send too many, I personally move on to another site, after sending them email (!). > > 2.

Sorry for the confusion - the refuse-it policy I mentioned is a personal policy; there's no option (yet) to configure something like that in IE3. The only two things I've personally seen have been cookies with specific expiration dates (which I usually accept, if the date is reasonable [IMHO]), and cookies that don't display an expiration (which I refuse out-of-hand). It seems to be a compromise that suits _me_; YMMV. > > 3. If you can't automate, does this mean you have to refuse every > time? > (This is, I guess, the same as question 1.) Many, many thanks. I can 'automate' to the extent of automatically accepting all cookies; yes, by not accepting every cookie, I'm obliged to make a decision for each request.
