Retribution, however is an excludable good.

Not the General Election
by Shift Control 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

In this week's Not The Election Issue of Shift Control: "Now that the abattoir bosses have revealed that the real cause of the E. coli outbreak is because cows are covered in faeces, how can we waste time voting? We could save the life of a little old lady simply by hosing down a cow." - Nick Green on alternative ways to spend May Day "Nobody minds people's personal sexual foibles, but it'd be the decent thing if old Piers Merchant had campaigned for the rights of sex workers. Or if Sir Michael Hirst had voted for lowering the age of homosexual consent. Being too apathetic to register my vote even for Reader's Digest free prize draws, I have failed to grill my local party candidates on this particular hot sausage. In fact, my only political contact is the landlord of the pub next to my mother's house, who is the chairman of the Monster Raving Loony Party." - Kate Spicer tries to decide how - or if - she should vote "The Monarch will preferably be of the warrior mentality, with a smart, non-people-based army. Say, for example, 10 battalions of cloned and chip-implanted SAS geezers plus a lot of anti-personnel surveillance gear embedded in any interactive mass media - telephones, computers, televisions. This way the King can not only know and rule his people, he can direct market to them as well." - Robin Hunt assesses alternatives to the liberal democratic system Also this week: Our quiz asks how wild you are about sleaze, our consumer section explains how to eat a liberal, Leo Hickman provides his fantasy Cabinet, plus more antics from Freebee, the rock 'n' roll insect with ants in his pants.

URGENT
by cm＠subcellar.mwci.net 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hello; "My research indicates the following material is of interest to you. If you prefer not to be on this mailing list, please let us know, and you will be promptly removed." I am on a mission, no I'm on a CRUSADE to educate people that there are no "GET RICH QUICK" programs, only honest or dishonest opportunities. There are also, no "Miracle Products" or "Cure All Products". Remember, what you see isn't always what you get. Anything that has the potential to be a money-earner will take some work, and sometimes alot of work. I (Christopher Miller) started this Company with the belief that it shouldn't be necessary for you to spend a fortune to be healthy and feel good. Also, I believe that there are far too many companies that offer Business Opportunities only to end up draining the Distributors bank account instead of filling it. There are also many deceptive trade practices taking place everyday where Con-Artists take advantage of unsuspecting people. Our products are very competitively priced and Distributorships are very inexpensive to operate. Cosmic Enterprises, a world leader in manufacturing quality nutritional products. With its headquarters located in Iowa, La., Cosmic Enterprises has Independant Representatives in the U.S., Indonesia and the United Kingdom. President Christopher Miller who is the founder, started his Nutritional career working from home in his spare time, doing research on his own value packed Nutritional Energy Formula. This energy product is the result many months of research, shopping and testing. I was searching for a product that would satisfy the need for sustained energy levels, increased mental alertness, balanced blood pressure and blood sugar levels along with antioxidant prtection and improved hormone activity. Not finding one, I started on a quest to find a manufacturing company that would want to do things my way. After many months of searching and negotiations the result of my quest was born. I called the formula Renew because it does so many things. It literally enhances every one of the body processes and functions. If all this sounds too good to be true, it's because we have been programmed by large corporations all these years to beleive that the things we need to healthy are very very expensive. In fact, just the opposite is true. We at Cosmic Enterprises have gone to great lenghts to provide our customers with he most value-packed product that has ever been placed on the market. The pharmacalogical make up of Renew has been very well researched to ensure the synergistic properties of the ingredients were not sacrificed. The majority of products on the market are made up of a single ingredient and the rest of it is composed of fillers. Just to give you an idea of how much filler material weve consumed over the years, listen to this example. Renew is packed in a "00" {double ought} capsule which can hold from 850 milligrams up to well over 1000 milligrams of material depending upon the molecular weight of the individual ingredients, most single ingredient products that are available in capsule form use a "0" {single ought} capsule which can hold up to 550 milligrams of material or possibly much more depending on the weight. Now lets say that this product has 25 milligrams of active ingredient, then why is the pill so big? It doesnt take a mathematician to figure out that most of your money just went toward fillers instead of what you thought you were getting. Also, many of these products come in tablet form, which means that they are capable of holding much more because the pill press compresses the ingredients. So even though the tablet or caplet may be large, that doesnt mean theres alot of active ingredients. There are, however, many multible ingredient products out there, some of them are very good I might add. The truth is though, many products only use one or two main ingredients and trivial amounts (sometimes reffered to as window dressings) for the remainder of the ingredients. The purpose here is not to hold any particular company in judgement, but to demonstrate the difference between Renew and many of the products being bought by millions of unsuspecting people every day. Renew contains less than 100 milligrams (approximately) of fillers and each ingredient in Renew is, according to the most recent research studies, present in effective dosage levels . . . Not just window dressings. That means that in that "00" {double ought} capsule that is capable of holding up to 1000+ milligrams of material contains less than 100 milligrams of filler. There is over 1100 milligrams of active ingredients in Renew. Furthermore, if there are other products that can make this statement, I would like to see that people can still get a good deal. The kind of deal where you really get what you paid for. ########################################################## For More Information Contact: Chris Miller (318) 588 - 4473 cosmic(a)info.mwci.net ##########################################################

Useful utility?
by Black Unicorn 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I've been hearing a lot of complaints from sysadmins who I try to convince to run SSH lately. "Key management is too difficult." "I cant keep track of all that stuff." I think that an interesting answer might be a ssh key issuing "robot." or vending machine of sorts. It might works something like this. User wants access to the sshd running host. Sysadmin gives the user a one time key only good for connecting to the vending machine via SSH. Would be nice if the robot recycled the password every time a successful connection was made. Connecting to the vending machine, the user would fill out a form including the hostnames he was likely to connect from and etc. After filling out that form, the user would be issued a key for the system, which would be automatically entered into authorized_keys. Whatever other automation was needed to get a user up and running on SSH would be executed. Of course, the main problem is that the sysadmin could capture the secret key of the user and use it to create a false login trail or other mischief. This could be avoided by allowing a user generated key to be submitted, of course. Ideally both options would be presented with a "less secure" warning for the former. Might make a nice project for someone fluent in perl, or even a webpage. I'd do it my self if my programming talents were not so pathetic.

The Ethics of Electronic Information
by Les Pourciau at UMem 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

******WITH ALL APOLOGIES FOR POSTING TO MULTIPLE LISTS,****** ******PLEASE DISTRIBUTE WIDELY****** THE ETHICS OF ELECTRONIC INFORMATION IN THE 21st CENTURY September 26-28, 1997 Sponsored By: The University of Memphis Libraries The U of M Information systems The U of M Linder Center for Urban Journalism The U of M Division of Research and Graduate School The U of M Marcus Orr Center for the Humanities The U of M Cecil C.

Indeed, information and information technology raise a host of difficult issues: Who will be authorized to have access to the plethora of information that is generated by computers in the 21st century? Will privacy, that most revered of American values, be passe, given the power of computers and the invasiveness of information bureaucracy and technology? Will the possession of information mean riches for the possessors, and will those possessors of information inevitably be the rich nations and neighborhoods of the earth? Who will own information, and who will be barred from access to information? How will copyright be administered on the Internet? These are only a few of the myriad of questions and concerns that occur to practitioners in a variety of professional fields. *Neil Postman, 1992. TECHNOPOLY: THE SURRENDER OF CULTURE TO TECHNOLOGY, New York, Vintage Books, 1992.
