Actually, it's less obvious than that :-) The only way to get a security rating of B2 or above (or even D or above) is to submit your operating system for rating by the NCSC, which is a long, expensive process even for C2. By the time you get to B2, you're dealing with products that may have real-world uses but are primarily designed specifically for the military market. One of the sensitivities, besides keeping Scary Foreigners from getting Real Operating Systems, is that it makes it easier for the Scary Foreigners to look for any bugs the NCSC may have missed and understand any other weaknesses that the products may have which would let them break into US Military or Intelligence Agency systems. # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, +1-415-442-2215 stewarts(a)ix.netcom.com # You can get PGP outside the US at ftp.ox.ac.uk/pub/crypto/pgp # (If this is a mailing list, please Cc: me on replies.

NY Tax Sale
by Duncan Frissell 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- For those who may doubt my oft repeated prediction that coercive institutions will slowly dissolve into market institutions please note that next week New York State is having a Sales Tax "sale." All clothing purchases under $500 will be free of sales tax next week. That's 8.25% in New York City. Since CT and NJ don't tax most clothing sales this is clearly an attempt to meet the competition. Also for those who might like to become international fugitive financiers some day (like Marc Rich) see the business section of today's New York Times: January 16, 1997 Fugitive Financiers Find Fewer Places to Hide By PETER TRUELL Currently at: http://www.nytimes.com/yr/mo/day/news/financial/fugitive-financiers.html "To improve the Justice Department's record for capturing big-time fugitives, Attorney General Janet Reno last month started an interagency fugitive alert service, in conjunction with the United States Information Agency and the Voice of America. The effort includes a site on the World Wide Web (http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/oiafug/fugitives.htm) showing pictures of the most wanted fugitives."

I originally had to make a request to the ISP to carry the newsgroup but after that, it was ok. I hope it's only coincidental that I lost contact only about one day after I placed a posting on the newsgroup. Barry J Hilchey, <bhilchey(a)sympatico.ca> PO Box 668, St Marys, Ontario, N4X 1B6, Canada: I donn't know exactly what happend to that group, but some time ago I had e-mail exchange with one of the moderators. He complained that they (5 persons or so) are sweating day and night moderating incoming postings. It might be, therefore, that this honorable job of censorship starved this people to death.

The number given sounds like a serial number, NOT a product number. Somehow, I think that it would have been covered around here by now if it were real. Jim Bell jimbell(a)pacifier.com
