And, yes, 'vznuri(a)netcom.com' is a nym for Dr. Dim: just check out his posts at DejaNews...Dr. Dim is a math phud, and "Vladimir" was "plonked" by Dr. Dim immediately after I said it was a nym. ---guy Dr. Dim had an infamous alias "Vladimir Fomin" too.

INCREASE YOUR ENERGY LEVEL & FIRM UP WITHOUT GIVING UP THE FOOD YOU LOVE! All Natural Energizer Reduce Sugar Cravings Burn the Fat While You Keep the Muscle Eat the Foods You Love Preferred by Fitness Experts 100% Safe and Natural AN INCREDIBLE NUTRITIONAL BREAKTHROUGH! I know what you're thinking. I felt the same way at first.but I found that there is finally a way to trim down and shed unwanted fat without all the hassles of a diet and strenuous exercise. Yes, theres actually a way to firm up without giving up the food you love. And its so easy! I just take one Thermo-Lift capsule twice a dayand thats it! Sure, exercise and daily activity will contribute to your results, but theyre not required! And just thinkno messy powders or mixes. No starvation. No rationing your food by the ounce. Thermo-Lift improves your metabolism so your body burns the excess fat! I actually noticed my clothes fitting better before I noticed the pounds coming off! METABOLISM IS THE KEY Anyone who has struggled to lose weight can tell you diets alone don't work! Thats because your size, or your weight, has more to do with your metabolism than what you eat. Changes International has designed a product that works several ways to help you achieve maximum results from your weight-loss program. This unique blend of herbs, botanicals and Chromium Picolinate improves your metabolism so your body relies more on stored body fat and less on stored proteins. STOP THE YO-YO CYCLE! On a typical diet, up to 30% of lost weight is muscle. Losing muscle lowers your metabolic rate and slows the burning of calories. This lower metabolic rate also makes it hard to keep lost pounds from creeping back. Result: the Yo-Yo syndrome! You know, up and downup and down. After each lose-gain cycle the proportion of fat actually increases! To break this vicious cycle, it is important to lose only fat while maintaining or even increasing muscle! Our unique formula is a specialized combination of herbs and botanicals coupled with the best source of chromium available. Patented Chromium Picolinate, a bio-active chromium with clinically proven benefits, is vital to good health and is essential for the effective functioning of insulin. Studies have shown chromium nutrition to be an effective part of LONG-TERM fat loss programs! NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED Three million readers of Cosmopolitan read a discussion of Chromium Picolinate's value for dieters under the headline, "A Miracle Mineral?". The cholesterol-reducing effect of Chromium Picolinate was highlighted in Ladies Home Journal. Longevity magazine has praised it as a safe alternative to anabolic steroids. A large number of publications for athletes and health food shoppers have also run feature articles on Chromium Picolinate, including: Prevention, Todays Living, Total Health and Muscular Development. HERES MORE EVIDENCE! Several double-blind crossover studies conducted along with clinical and laboratory tests at a leading university and hospital have proven that the ingredients in Thermo-Lift are effective. Without changing dietary or exercise habits over a 6-week period, subjects in separate studies lost an average of 23% body fat or approximately 4.4 pounds of fat, and increased lean body mass by 1.5 pounds. People over the age of 46 did even better, and women seemed to do the best! People with elevated cholesterol levels averaged a 10% drop in LDL cholesterol. WHATS IN THERMO-LIFT? Chromium Picolinate, Bee Pollen, Astralagus, Licorice Root, Ginger Root, Rehmannia Root, Siberian Ginseng, Ma Huang Extract, Gotu Kola, Bladderwrack, White Willow Bark, Guarana Extract and Reishi Mushroom. All ingredients are formulated and synergistically blended to be both 100% safe and effective. Thermo-Lift is manufactured and bottled by a 25 year-old, pharmaceutical company and all FDA standards have been met or exceeded. THE ENERGIZERS Siberian Ginseng: Good source of energy and endurance. Increases physical and mental vigor. Ma Huang extract: Helps to increase energy, improve circulation, control appetite and decongest. The Chinese use it for treatment of asthma and other respiratory disorders. Guarana extract: Increases mental alertness and fights fatiguea very high energy source. Rehmannia Root: Used to treat anemia, fatigue, and to promote the healing of bones. Astralagus: Acts as a tonic to protect the immune system and increases metabolism. Bee Pollen: Effective for combating fatigue, depression, and colon disorders. WHAT OTHERS HAVE FOUND "My name is Denita Kellet. In just 18 months, I have been able to lose 212 pounds and over 52 inches over my entire body! I have a non-functioning thyroid and for years have fought a losing battle with a bad weight problem. Then I found Thermo-Lift This product has greatly enriched my life and my health. I wish everybody could feel as good as I feel. I'm a lot more active and able to play with my family. All I can say is, thanks 110% Thermo-Lift for what you've done for me and my life." Denita went from 340 pounds to 128 pounds in 18 months. Before and after pictures available! "My name is Misty McDonald. I'm a twenty-two year old working mother of two children. In just five months I have lost an amazing seventy pounds. I dropped an incredible sixteen dress sizes! At 180 pounds, I was very unhappy and depressed. I felt very insecure about myself and really didn't like to go outside the house. Then I found Thermo-Lift and what a difference it has made in my life! Thank you Thermo-Lift for changing my life and making me feel complete." Misty went from 180 pounds to 110 pounds in only 5 months. Before and after pictures available! "I have been examined by my doctor and my weight loss has blown his mind! People that I used to work with, and even some family members, have trouble recognizing me. I wish everyone that is overweight could be sent my way so that I could talk to them. Maybe I could be of help, since Ive lost 150 pounds so far." Kenny went from 350 pounds to 200 pounds. Before and after pictures available! "I started taking Thermo-Lift March 1st of this year. My sister just kept after me. I felt happy eating, and did not want to change my life, so I didn't. I just took Thermo-Lift and kept eating. I noticed my clothes getting looser on me, but I haven't kept a scale in my house for over ten years. The middle of May, I found a commercial scale and weighed myself. I had lost 50 pounds, in just 2 1/2 months! I celebrated by buying myself a new pair of jeans. I went from a size 48 waist to a size 42! The best part is I am a non insulin-dependent diabetic and was taking 10 mg of diabeta every day to control my blood sugar. I monitor my blood sugar myself, and with Thermo-Lift my sugar level went below 70 for the first time in years. My doctor has now taken me off my medication, and Thermo-Lift is keeping up very good. I still watch it closely, but I hate to be chemically dependent like that. I thank my sister every week for turning me on to Thermo-Lift." Bernie has lost 60 pounds so far and is still going! "Over the last 10 years, I have tried a variety of weight loss methods, spent thousands of dollars and failed at all of them. By December 1995, I was the heaviest I had ever weighed235 pounds.

My energy level has boosted and my weight loss increased In total I have lost 70 pounds and went from a size 22 to a size 12. The amazing part it's so easy! Becky went from 235 pounds to 165 pounds.

EU considers letting police snoop on Internet [fwd infobeat]
by Vipul Ved Prakash 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

*** EU considers letting police snoop on Internet European Union justice ministers agreed Thursday to consider letting police snoop on Internet users as a measure to tackle organized crime. Police, who fear the Internet is being used by international criminals for money laundering and other crimes, are currently barred from tapping into the computer messages. The ministers, gathered for an informal meeting in Birmingham, England, agreed police should be given new powers but added they should be tightly restricted so as not to damage the rapidly growing computer industry.

If the person strapping those systems together writes them from scratch and the penultimate cipher gives a flat distribution, then I agree 100%. However, many (most?) standalone encryption programs will put a magic number or other identification at the beginning (e.g. encrypted PKZIP) or will do a sanity check that actually tells you whether you've decrypted with the right key, whether you see garbage or not (e.g. EAY's stand-alone 'idea', 'des', etc.). PGP also has distinctive headers, I think. In the world of existing cipher packages it's usually possible to tell what you've got. Assume Kerckhoff's principle, of course: the attacker knows which packages you're using and which order you're doing them in.
