He appeared serious. There are reports that his physicians have desperately pleaded with him to seek treatment for these delusions but he fears that if he does so, he may suffer reprecussions from facing reality. > The microsoft attitude to standards is annoying also -- what do they care > about rfc822? "The good thing about microsoft is that we set the standards, > and we can change them when we want to". quote from a microsoft > representative at a standards meeting. IBM had the same attitude for years, and were quite arrogant about it when they announced the computer of our future, the PS/2. "Napoleon was Emperor, "But still, he met his Waterloo. "IBM was King, but still, "No one bought their PS/2." "Now, stepping up to the plate... "A 'heavy hitter', named Billy Gates. "Who just can't hit the 'long ball', hence, "He has the umpires move the fence." "Billy G. is not a fool, "He's handsome, witty, smart, and rich. "His products may be weak, so what? "He owns the team, he gets to pitch." "Besides, someone, somewhere, sometime, "Will learn to make his products work. "While cussing out the big MS, "And calling Billy G. a jerk." "Then Billy G. will buy them out, "(Or steal a 'base', some would say) "One way or the other, though, "Billy G. will get his way." "MS does offer some support, "(Even though they have to bill you). "Then say, 'We could tell you how it works. "'But then, of course, we'd have to kill you.'" "So here I sit, broken hearted... "Bought Win95, the nightmare started. "Those who write on shithouse walls... "Know MS has them by the balls." "For a good time, call..." [ MODERATOR'S NOTE: ] The obvious degeneration of this slanderous poem into a babbling morass of shithouse wit comes as no surprise to those who righteously supported the attempt to protect the cypherpunks list from exactly this type of off-topic trash. I am certain that the other troublemakers on the list will be spreading rumors and lies concerning Toto's sudden disappearance, which I am sure will be noticed shortly. To set the record straight concerning the rumors that are bound to be surfacing, let me state that it is a known fact that the lunatic asylums in Saskatchewan often use vehicles bearing Washington State license plates. The witnesses who claim that the white-suited asylum employees had MicroSoft emblems on their uniforms were obviously confused by the similarities to the 'MindSoft' emblem of the Sanitarium (which was legally formed shortly after Toto's soon-to-be discovered mysterious disappearance). Rumors that Toto was subsequently murdered because he had actually gotten Win95 to work, and thus 'knew too much', are obviously tripe, since it is a well-known fact that nobody can get it to work properly. The lies that will be attempting to connect Toto's disappearance to tonight's MicroSoft/C2Net party are also false, since it has been in the planning for months. It's just that we (I mean...'they') forgot to send out the invitations earlier, so it only appears to be a hastily organized event. As to the hogwash spouted by Dale Thorn, and others, concerning some purported behind-the-scenes moderation/censorship of the cypherpunks list--this is patent nonsense. This 'Moderator's Note' that you are reading now is an obvious forgery--part of some sick, demented plan to continue to cast slander and libel upon MicroSoft and C2Net. It is a mere continuation of the shallow attempts of slimeballs and perverts to cast aspersions on saints like Bill Gates, John Gilmore, Sandy Sandfort, Greg Broiles, and my employer, Sammy, who only want what is best for everyone. [END OF 'ALLEGED' MODERATOR'S NOTE] "For a good time call...Toto" http://bureau42.base.org/public/xenix/xenbody.html

Re: Why Income Tax is Unconstitutional (fwd)

At 08:21 PM 3/9/97 -0500, Mark M. wrote: >http://www.iac.net/~solution/notax/ actually says that the tax law excludes >U.S. citizens who do not live in Washington D.C. or are not federal employees. Yes, the web page says that, but it is incorrect. >I'm not about to read all 7,000 pages of the tax code to see if they are >correct, but the definitions section of the code do indicate that their >interpretation is correct. It's not even necessary to look at the tax code (which is not 7,000 pages long, although it is complex) to see that their argument is wrong. Their argument is that 26 USC 7701(a)(9) defines "United States" to mean "States" and "the District of Columbia", and that 26 USC 7701(a)(10) defines "States" as "District of Columbia". Leaving aside their (incorrect) interpretation of "includes" as "is", their interpretation of 7701(a)(10) suggests that 7701(a)(9) really says "United States" means "District of Columbia and District of Columbia" which makes no sense at all. "States" cannot mean "District of Columbia" if, in the same subsection, another definition uses the phrase "the States and the District of Columbia". Clearly Congress did not intend "States" to mean "District of Columbia". (The web page points out this flaw in their construction of the statute but apparently fails to understand that it's fatal to their interpretation. Bzzt.) Their other arguments are similarly absurd. Their interpretation of the Supreme Court case they cite is ridiculous. The decision is on the web at <http://www.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=324&invol=652>, (paper cite is 324 US 652); given the discrepancy between their version and the actual text I can see why they haven't bothered to provide a cite. The real heart of their screwed-up-ness is that they interpret "includes" to mean "is", so that they think "employee includes government employees" reads "employee is government employees" and "states includes the District of Columbia" reads "states is the District of Columbia". That interpretation is wrong, and all of their arguments that rest upon it are fatally flawed. For example, according to Black's Law Dictionary (which isn't the law anywhere, but isn't an awful place to look for the definition of a word, other resources being unavailable), says that "include" .. "may, according to context, express an enlargement and have the meaning of *and* or *in addition to*, or merely specify a particular thing already included within general words theretofore used. 'Including' within statute is interpreted as a word of enlargement or of illustrative application as well as a word of limitation. Premier Products Co. v. Cameron, 240 Or 123, 400 P2d 227, 228." (emphasized words were italicized in original) >I suppose using this information as a defense >might work, but one would probably have to sue the IRS to get all forfeited >property returned for failure to pay income tax. >From time to time tax protestors and people with weird interpretations of the tax code manage to convince juries that they believed that their failure to pay tax was lawful, and hence they didn't have the required criminal intent to be guilty of criminal evasion/failure to file. But more frequently, juries (who pay income tax, too) aren't especially sympathetic to that story and send the goofballs to jail. (Misinterpretation of the tax code might - might - keep you out of jail. But it won't get your house back, or put the $ back in your bank account.) The people who publish this crap ought to be ashamed of themselves. As it happens, they usually don't follow their own advice, *go ahead and pay their taxes*, and get rich while their gullible customers get themselves in a lot of trouble. -- Greg Broiles | US crypto export control policy in a nutshell: gbroiles(a)netbox.com | http://www.io.com/~gbroiles | Export jobs, not crypto. |

The secrets to finding ANY JOB on the internet.
by adnet＠jobops.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO FIND A JOB USING THE INTERNET? - If you have been looking for a job, career change or upgrade find out how internet resources can lead to fifteen interviews a week or more! Get the job and salary you deserve. ===> Did you know that you can search dozens of newspaper classifieds online, and with keywords access the jobs you want 100 times faster than if you bought the local newspaper ? ===> Do you know how to effectively use e-mail and fax software to get your credentials and resume noticed immediately? ===> Do you know how to use search engines on the internet to find hidden job opportunities most people don't know how to look for? ===> Did you know the secrets recruiters use to find jobs for you, and how you can use them to benefit yourself? ===> Did you know that although there are literally thousands of job websites, only a scant few dozen actually produce results? Would you like to know which ones they are? Whether you are a PhD. in Mechanical Engineering or an Administrative Assistant with a high school degree, I can show you proven methods that will generate as many as fifteen interviews a week. My job hunting manual aptly named "GETTING EMPLOYED IN THE INFORMATION AGE" will guide you through all the proper steps to take to really push your career into high gear. Many of the techniques and search skills taught in my manual will work for anyone. From phone clerk all the way up to programming consultants, this guide will help you find and maintain your livelihood. Also included in this guide: >>> 25 tips on how to look, act, and dress success. >>> Learn what to say and what not to say during a job interview. >>> Learn job hunting strategies that pay off almost immediately. >>> Create quality resumes that get noticed !!! ( Sample resumes and techniques are provided in great detail. ) >>> Red flags that let you know an interview is bogus before you waste time going there. I give you the consumer my personal guarantee that what I have written will help you (if you use it)immeasurably in landing a job. I offer my text at a very fair and equitable price of $6.95. Don't be fooled by the low price. Many internet advertisers charge unfair prices for their merchandise and then take forever to mail it to you. My guide comes to you as an attached e-mail document in two different file formats so it will probably reach you three to four days after you have placed an order. -------------------------HOW TO ORDER-------------------------------- If you are interested in purchasing my text, GETTING EMPLOYED IN THE INFORMATION AGE, simply send a check or money order for $6.95 payable to Leon McCreary at the following address: Leon McCreary 5595 E. 7th. Street #360 Long Beach, CA 90804 (Make sure to include your current e-mail return address) --------------------------------------------------------------------- I will then e-mail you a copy of it in both a downloadable text format or in Microsoft Word 2.0 which should be upwardly compatible with whatever later version text editor you may have. Because there is no cost for shipping, I can keep the cost per copy to you very low. Sincerely and respectfully yours, Leon McCreary -If you wish to respond to this e-mail please do so to the P.O. Box listed above. There is no reply address available at this time due to possible ISP Server overload. P.S. I truly believe in the mass e-mail or bulk e-mail concept. Many people frown upon it. However, it is my belief that if the industry can become more reputable through better products and faster customer service, it may become more accepted. Mass e-mail is free to send, and it enables people like me to advertise until such time as we have the money to advertise through other media. We all have dreams. I am reaching for my own as I am sure you are striving for yours. My dream is to be the best employment recruiter I can be. If I can help you achieve your dreams and goals in the process, please allow me to do so. Buy my employment guide not because I am a slick advertiser, but because I know this works. I am anxious to share this knowledge with you. Good luck !
