$145 turned to $1300: BEST investment for ANYBODY
by woostp＠ns.interred.co.cr 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Dear Friend: Earlier this week I sent you this very same letter and since I have not heard from you I imagined either it didn't get delivered or you accidentally hit "delete" on it. Or you simply just haven't gotten around it. I don't think you want to wait around much longer. Especially if like other friends of mine and business relationships, you are interested in MULTIPLYING SUBSTANTIALLY (and in a very short time) a very small investment. So here again, is a copy of my letter. Today I write you to share one of the most simple and beneficial investments I found in the last months. I waited effectively several months to verify the incidence of my decision and truly, I am so glad of this one, that I decided to share it with a selected handful of people. I was proposed to invest $145 minimum and $485 maximum to receive a basic $1300 in the first months with a program, by sharing it with a very few friends. (I took the $485 option). Conclusion: not only didn't I have to wait one year to see a 800% of return on my investment, but I had the surprise to receive this amount SEVERAL TIMES BY MONTH. It seems incredible, but it's true. The American Company offering this program is not only serious, but I could personally speak with the President and the CPA and they have been reliable for the few friends I shared the program with. So, if I awakened your interest just a little bit, this is the moment and opportunity to give a look to the complete information pulling the FAX ON DEMAND # 716-720-2106 or visiting the following WEBSITE: http://peopleschoice.com/STP/home.html And remember, do as I did by considering this opportunity as an investment, and, applying the program, it will give you the most secure and fantastic yield you can find. FOR ONLY $145 to $485. Just try it, contemplating that the risk is around zero and share it with two or three of your best friends just after you applied. To participate, you must indicate a sponsor number. I would be glad if you used mine, it is: # 983 registered under the name of my corporation, WOOSTER CORP. So don't hesitate on this opportunity my friend. You are getting today one of the most safe and simple ways to increase a very little capital SEVERAL TIMES. Just try it as I did. Friendly Jean Marc Gelot CEO / WOOSTER CORP.

There's an excellent but short interview with Cindy Cohn, the attorney on the Bernstein Snuffle case, on the San Jose Mercury site: http://www.sjmercury.com/business/center/cohnqa121597.htm She has a knack for getting to the crux in clear and logical steps.

M$: an about face for NYTimes editorial policy

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >>> an about face for the official policy at the NYTimes. prior to the decision, the NYT was acting almost like an apologist for M$; now they are placing the onus on M$: "It is in the public interest that Microsoft be required to show that its practices are not anticompetitive." should make life interesting; now that M$' momentum has been nicked, everybody will join in the great Muslim tradition of stoning Bill Gate$ to death. Gate$ predicted a year or so ago that M$ would suffer a near-death experience --well, BadBillyG, is the handwriting on your wall? you can fool all the people some of the time, you can fool some of the people all the time, you can not fool all the people all the time. who said that? http://www.nytimes.com/yr/mo/day/editorial/ December 15, 1997 NYTimes Editorial / editorial policy statement Saying No to Microsoft >>> NYTimes' policy change since the decision: A preliminary injunction ... ... is a smart step that preserves the competitive status quo while the court reviews the antitrust suit brought by the Justice Department in October. The injunction is needed, Judge Jackson pointedly wrote, because the probability that Microsoft will, through its licensing practices, reinforce its operating system monopoly and acquire yet another monopoly in the Internet browser market "is simply too great to tolerate indefinitely until the issue is finally resolved." ... ...Judge Jackson said Microsoft's idea of what is "integrated" would appear to render the consent decree provision meaningless. If Internet Explorer can be turned into a Windows component under the decree, so might other Microsoft products like Word and Excel. >>> the NYTimes real reversal of statement since the decision: ...It is in the public interest that Microsoft be required to show that its practices are not anticompetitive. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: latin1 Comment: No safety this side of the grave.

List of reliable remailers
by Raph Levien 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I operate a remailer pinging service which collects detailed information about remailer features and reliability. To use it, just finger remailer-list(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu There is also a Web version of the same information, plus lots of interesting links to remailer-related resources, at: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~raph/remailer-list.html This information is used by premail, a remailer chaining and PGP encrypting client for outgoing mail. For more information, see: http://www.c2.org/~raph/premail.html For the PGP public keys of the remailers, finger pgpkeys(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu This is the current info: REMAILER LIST This is an automatically generated listing of remailers. The first part of the listing shows the remailers along with configuration options and special features for each of the remailers. The second part shows the 12-day history, and average latency and uptime for each remailer. You can also get this list by fingering remailer-list(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu. $remailer{'cyber'} = '<alias(a)alias.cyberpass.net> alpha pgp'; $remailer{"mix"} = "<mixmaster(a)remail.obscura.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek ksub reord ?"; $remailer{"replay"} = "<remailer(a)replay.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut post ek"; $remailer{"jam"} = "<remailer(a)cypherpunks.ca> cpunk mix pgp hash middle latent cut ek"; $remailer{"winsock"} = "<winsock(a)rigel.cyberpass.net> cpunk pgp pgponly hash cut ksub reord ?"; $remailer{'nym'} = '<config(a)nym.alias.net> newnym pgp'; $remailer{"squirrel"} = "<mix(a)squirrel.owl.de> cpunk mix pgp pgponly hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{'weasel'} = '<config(a)weasel.owl.de> newnym pgp'; $remailer{"reno"} = "<middleman(a)cyberpass.net> cpunk mix pgp hash middle latent cut ek reord ?"; $remailer{"cracker"} = "<remailer(a)anon.efga.org> cpunk mix remix pgp hash ksub esub latent cut ek reord post"; $remailer{'redneck'} = '<config(a)anon.efga.org> newnym pgp'; $remailer{"bureau42"} = "<remailer(a)bureau42.ml.org> cpunk mix pgp ksub hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"neva"} = "<remailer(a)neva.org> cpunk pgp pgponly hash cut ksub ?"; $remailer{"lcs"} = "<mix(a)anon.lcs.mit.edu> mix"; $remailer{"medusa"} = "<medusa(a)weasel.owl.de> mix middle" $remailer{"McCain"} = "<mccain(a)notatla.demon.co.uk> mix middle"; $remailer{"valdeez"} = "<valdeez(a)juno.com> cpunk pgp pgponly hash ek"; $remailer{"arrid"} = "<arrid(a)juno.com> cpunk pgp pgponly hash ek"; $remailer{"hera"} = "<goddesshera(a)juno.com> cpunk pgp pgponly hash ek"; $remailer{"htuttle"} = "<h_tuttle(a)rigel.cyberpass.net> cpunk pgp hash latent cut post ek"; catalyst(a)netcom.com is _not_ a remailer. lmccarth(a)ducie.cs.umass.edu is _not_ a remailer. usura(a)replay.com is _not_ a remailer. remailer(a)crynwr.com is _not_ a remailer.

Supports Request-Remailing-To: field. eric A variant of the cpunk style. Uses Anon-Send-To: instead. penet The third class of remailers (at least for right now). Uses X-Anon-To: in the header. pgp Remailer supports encryption with PGP. A period after the keyword means that the short name, rather than the full email address, should be used as the encryption key ID. hash Supports ## pasting, so anything can be put into the headers of outgoing messages. ksub Remailer always kills subject header, even in non-pgp mode. nsub Remailer always preserves subject header, even in pgp mode. latent Supports Matt Ghio's Latent-Time: option. cut Supports Matt Ghio's Cutmarks: option. post Post to Usenet using Post-To: or Anon-Post-To: header. ek Encrypt responses in reply blocks using Encrypt-Key: header. special Accepts only pgp encrypted messages. mix Can accept messages in Mixmaster format. reord Attempts to foil traffic analysis by reordering messages. Note: I'm relying on the word of the remailer operator here, and haven't verified the reord info myself. mon Remailer has been known to monitor contents of private email. filter Remailer has been known to filter messages based on content. If not listed in conjunction with mon, then only messages destined for public forums are subject to filtering. Raph Levien

Re: Another of Gary Burnore's Lies Exposed

rashidk(a)mailexcite.com (Rashid Kaman) > X-No-Archive: yes > >Shades of McCarthyism.... > > Such big words, my my! :-) Sorry, I forgot you were from DataBasix, where most words are four letters in length. (Hint: I wasn't talking about CHARLIE McCarthy...) > >Strangely enough, a search of the public database of listed telephone numbers > >turns up nothing for you. > > Why did you look for it? To be a champion of privacy you first have > to respect privacy. Of course I respect privacy. Your phone number would only have been there if you'd CHOSEN to have it listed by the phone company, right? And if you'd chosen to have it listed, then it would be logical to assume that you WANTED people to have it. It's not like I went to your phone company and demanded that they turn over a listing of their unlisted numbers. (Your buddy Burnore, OTOH, did demand a list of all the users of the Huge Cajones Remailer from their logs. In case you're unclear on the concept, people use remailers so that people like Gary and Belinda WON'T have access to their e-mail addresses.) It was Gary Burnore and Belinda Bryan who've been denouncing "hiding behind" anything, so I found it sort of ironic that all of them have unlisted phone numbers while whining about my unlisted e-mail address. (Should I adopt Burnore's tactics and start calling the denizens of DataBasix "Unlisted Assholes"? Nah!) > >> >If remailers were shut down, I'd lose my ability to post. > >> > >> Why is that? > > > >For the same reason you'd no longer be able to post from mailexcite.com if > >someone decided to shut it down! > > That's not an answer, it's a cope out. "Cope out"? Sorry, I don't have a DataBasix-speak dictionary, and am not familiar with your in-house (or outhouse) jargon. Regardless of whether it is a "cope out" or not, it is an answer. Sorry if you don't approve. If the remailer I use for posting were to shut down, I obviously would no longer be able to utilize that resource, just as you'd no longer be able to use mailexcite.com if that were to be shut down. Something about that too difficult for you to understand? You might feel differently if Billy "Wotan" McClatchie had gone after Mailexcite rather than Mailmasher.

The closed Nym list

Hint: it wasn't I. > > Anyway, I suppose that by mid-morning tomorrow Declan is going to have to > decide how to deal with subscriptions by Vulis, Human Gus-Peter, Toto, and > all the others. The Nym list appears to be closed. (The web page says so -- so I didn't try.) This state of affairs may even be my fault. The history, for those who care, is appended. It's a shame -- if David Brin really is posting there as one of Tim's recent messages suggested I'd be very interested in seeing his posts. (Thanks, Tim, for reposting yours here.) I still don't think it makes much sense to have a conversation about the use of nyms and then try to protect the posters' words from public view. If posters are concerned about public scrutiny, why not use a nym? Not to mention the fact that one would have to keep the list closed to have a prayer of enforcing the no-repost rule. --Daniel Boone History: Robert Hettinga was briefly forwarding "nym" posts to e$pam, where I saw them. Declan publically requested that posts not be forwarded. I sent Robert a message asking if he was going to comply -- and expressed (to Robert) my lack of respect for a no-forwarding policy. Robert (that notorious cross-pollinizer that he is) forwarded my message to Declan, which was unfortunate -- as Declan no doubt considered my message insulting. (Addressed to Declan, it would have been.) I got a very chilly "response" from Declan about how he had no duty to entertain me with his list traffic. I took the opportunity to ask him how his no-repost rule would fare when someone using a nym started reposting the traffic publicly. He responded with "the list is now closed" or words to that effect. I realized too late he may have thought _I_ was threating to do the evil reposting deed.

If I live in the US and put the perl RSA code in my sig, then post in an international newsgroup, have I illegally exported encryption? If I put that same code on my web site, then post requests to view my site in an international newsgroup, have I exported it? What is the penalty for exporting powerful encryption?
