Secret Crypto regs announcemnt
by Lucky Green 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I found this little gem in today's MSFT press release announcing the banks-only certs: "Dusche [MSFT's financial services industry manager. ed.] also said that when an announced relaxation of U.S. electronic-commerce export regulations occurs this summer, the Microsoft license will be updated to extend strong security to other financial institutions such as investment, brokerage and insurance firms, and to make available even more secure key lengths." http://www.microsoft.com/industry/bank/press/encryptnpr.htm When did Commerce announce that the regs would be relaxed this Summer? To whom did they announce this? Cetainly not to the public, since this is the first time I heard about it. -- Lucky Green <mailto:shamrock@netcom.com> PGP encrypted mail preferred

I'm talking about the > layout of Congress, the Executive branch, the Supreme Court, etc. Better you should concentrate on learning to read than on giving spelling lessons. I'll type slowly and SHOUT, shit-for-brains, so you have a slim chance of following me, here: "ANY (<--that's _ANY_) style (DESIGN, STRUCTURE, METHOD...) of government is "realatively decent" if you don't rock the boat." Screw the "layout of Congress, the Executive branch, the Supreme Court, etc." I seriously doubt that the slaves being whipped in the thirteen colonies ignored the pain by concentrating on the beauty of the layout of Congress. I doubt that Indians mourning the slaughter of their families appreciated the structure of the Executive Branch. "Style of government" doesn't much matter a rat's ass. All that really matters is the balance of power between those in society and how those who have power use it. If there are two of us and only one gun, we can draw toothpicks to see which of us has "governership" over the gun for the day to hunt for food, or if you are big and have an attitude you may just seize control of the gun. If you're using the gun only to hunt and share the food equally with me, either way is a "relatively decent" form of "government" of the gun. Of course, if you get off on the "power" of controlling the gun, you are going to get nervous when I start gathering sticks and stones to build a house and start passing "amendments" to our agreement or "style of government" that state I can only possess small sticks and stones, etc, etc. Pretty soon, I'm building a nuclear warhead in my straw hut... > This whole discussion has been, from my point of view at least, mostly > theoretical in a discussion of possible ways to alter the government to > stay away from the situations that we are in now. Simple. Design all future government buildings to match the remains of the Federal Building in OKC and replace the pictures of our beloved President with pictures of Timothy McVeigh. The problem with any government is not the style, but the maintaining of accountability. Putting the nuclear warheads in D.C. and giving the magic button to a barmaid in Denver would likely be as "relatively decent" a "style of government" as any other alternative. You want a "relatively decent style of government?" Make Stalin our dictator and arrange for Mother Teresa to control a mechanical vice that contains his nuts. Pick any "style of government" at random, as far as I'm concerned, but don't forget to put a note on the fridge to remind yourself to pick up some munitions for the coming revolution. McVeigh was just "voting early," as is allowed for by law for those in the military who may be busy serving their country at election time. Change the style of government to any form you please and the pigs at the public trough are going to fight (and kill) to stay there. A change in "style" is not needed as much as a change in "attitude." (e.g. "Hard weapons, soft targets, no compromise.") I don't need to buy a clue. I have a Ryder truck full of clues that I haven't even used yet. ClueMonger

It's not clear > to me that the bill will restrict such material on the net, unless they > implies criminal use. Has everyone in society lost their fucking mind? Explain to me please, the dire consequences of not having this law. Without this law, are people who teach others to make bombs for criminal purposes not going to go to jail? Bullshit! How much of our tax money is being fucked away to pass a law to establish that the legislation's sponsors aren't in favor of children in a daycare being bombed? People who currently teach bombmaking for criminal purposes are already going to jail. No doubt a new law will result in some poor schmuck who is not too good with the English language going to jail (at our expense) for twenty years for saying "you _should_ use a short fuse" instead of saying "you _could_ use a short fuse" (or somesuch nonsense). Nothing personal, pal, but to even speak about the proposed law without pointing out that Feinstein is an ignorant bitch who is fucking away our tax dollars on a useless law, meant to impress the dim-witted, is nothing less than conceding to the reign of knee-jerk stupidity. Someone please put up a website teaching people how to use bananas to commit a crime. I want some company in prison when I kill 168 people with a banana. BananaMonger

On Wednesday or Thursday of this week, the Supreme Court will issue a decision in the landmark case of ACLU vs. Reno. On the day the decision comes down, The Electronic Frontier Foundation, Wired Ventures, and the Citizens Internet Empowerment Coalition invite you to join us for a RALLY to show your support for free speech online.

Secure Public Networks Act of the U.S
by David Downey 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

This little gem is extremely scarey, most specifically Title II Sec 207 and Title III Sec 307 most of all!! I have been on the phone with Congressman Jack Quin of NY, Senator D'Almato of NY, my local Common Counselman, and the U.S Attorny's Office (They will be the ones tasked with prosecuting offenders under this Bill.). It seems that not one of them knows anything about it. And they are currently IN Washington!!! I was even told by Congressman Quin's Office that no such bills as the ProCODE, ProCODE II, or the McCain/ Kerrey Bills have been presented to Congress! Talk about your basic denial! I have provided a copy of the original HTML version of the SPNA as proposed by McCain and Kerrey. This was pulled directly from Senator Kerrey's website. --------------------------------------------------------- Get Your *Web-Based* Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------

More Supreme Court CDA predictions (fwd)
by Declan McCullagh 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 25 Jun 1997 21:04:10 -0700 (PDT) From: Declan McCullagh <declan(a)well.com> To: fight-censorship(a)vorlon.mit.edu Subject: More Supreme Court CDA predictions [Probably the Supreme Court's last free speech decision before the CDA came down today in Glickman v. Wileman Brothers. I'm still reading through the opinion, but as I understand the case, U.S. Agriculture Department regulations required nectarine and peach growers in California to contribute to generic pro-nectarine/peach advertising. The Ninth Circuit struck down the regs, saying the "First Amendment right of freedom of speech includes a right not to be compelled to render financial support for others' speech." But today the Supreme Court reversed, ruling that "Respondents are not required themselves to speak but are merely required to make contributions for advertising." Souter, Rhenquist, Scalia, and Thomas dissented. This is hardly a decision that bodes well for the First Amendment. --Declan] ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 25 Jun 97 19:15:00 DST From: "Halpert, James - DC" <jhalpert(a)pipermar.com> Declan, One never knows until the opinions are issued, but there is a good deal of objective evidence contradicting Prof. Volokh's hunch. At oral argument, Rhenquist, Scalia and Thomas all asked hostile questions of Bruce Ennis, and Rhenquist and Scalia stepped in to help out Seth Waxman, the Government's oralist, when he was having trouble answering tough questions. I'm not sure that Rhenquist and Thomas have ever voted to strike down an indecency restriction. Although Scalia has been taken somewhat more libertarian stands on speech restrictions than the other two, he said flat out at oral argument that he thought the government should win. As for the dissenting opinion they all joined Denver Consortium decision last term, it may have drawn a clearer line than did the plurality opinion, but would have upheld a requirement that cable subscribers OPT-IN IN WRITING thirty days in advance of being able to receive indecent programming. If you like that, you may well like the CDA .. . . We'll see soon enough.
