You didn't get it with your CD? - I heard you can get it on 3 x 1.44 MB disks from KwikMart (only $1.99). Now, I'm not too sure how all this 'internet' stuff works (all rather complicated), but don't you need one to send an e-mail? Boy have I been burned... ;) Iain, icollins(a)sol.co.uk PS: If you would like serious answer then feel free to send me a serious question and I'd be happy to help you out (I'd say the questions are off topic from this list :).

Learn two things at once! More seriously, code written in C, C++ and Perl is in demand. There's a better chance that more people can maintain or update your code than if it was written in a less mainstream language, and customers tend to appreciate that. Out of those three, Perl is probably the best introductory language. DSC

Unix O/S
by Gypsy Wanderer 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hi I'm new to posting on this list (I've been checking it out for a while, really interesting stuff). I'm a computer science student and therefore a newbie, but am interested in cryptography. I will be taking a UNIX course next year and plan to set up a UNIX drive on my PC. I'm interested in getting some advice on which UNIX O/S would be good to set up. I'm currently aware of FreeBSD, OpenBSD, SCO UNIX, and LINUX. Suggestions and the reasons why would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Gypsy ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

By selling them something they want? I just don't want to pay five dollars for a pack of cigarettes which is why I'm spamming this number.

I advise you learn Smalltalk before trying to understand Visual Basic. Also, version 5 is too advanced for a beginner. Start at version one and only upgrade for new features as you need them.

Clinton Backs Cyber-Terror Warnings
by John Young 17 Dec '03

May 22, 1998 Clinton Backs Cyber-Terror Warnings Filed at 1:31 p.m. EDT By The Associated Press ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- Nuclear warheads were the stuff of Cold War stockpiles and beachheads the battlefields of times gone by. To counter today's threats, President Clinton told a new class of Naval officers, the United States must amass germ-warfare vaccines and battle terrorists in cyberspace. ``If our children are to grow up safe and free, we must approach these new 21st century threats with the same rigor and determination we applied to the toughest security challenges of this century,'' the president said today in a commencement speech at the U.S. Naval Academy. For the 769 graduating midshipmen and 139 midshipwomen whose dress uniforms shone blindingly white in the sun, Clinton painted a near-apocalyptic picture of the enemies who threatened their mission beyond the academy. ``As we approach the 21st century, our foes have extended the fields of battle from physical space to cyberspace, from the world's vast bodies of water to the complex workings of our own human body. Rather than invading our beaches or launching bombers, these adversaries may attempt cyber attacks against our critical military systems and our economic base,'' Clinton said. Clinton also called for an interconnected ``cyber-system'' that would warn and minimize damage of attacks on computers that control the stock market, banking, utilities, air traffic and other so-called ``critical infrastructure.'' Private companies including IBM, Dell Computers, Bell South and GTE have already agreed to participate in the ``cyber-system,'' which Clinton wants to be fully operational by 2003, administration officials said. ``If we fail to take strong action, then terrorists, criminals and hostile regimes could invade and paralyze these vital systems, disrupting commerce, threatening health, weakening our capacity to function in a crisis,'' Clinton said. He appointed National Security Council adviser Richard Clarke, who specializes in such issues as drug trafficking and terrorism, to head a new office on infrastructure protection and counter-terrorism. Former Sen. Sam Nunn and Jamie Gorelick, formerly the Justice Department's No. 2 official and now Fannie Mae's vice chairwoman, will lead a private industry advisory group.
