Dear Cypherpunks: I write for the New York Times Magazine. My editor wants to profile, as he put it, "a group of hackers who've gone legit" and now do consulting for corporations. Paul Kocher of Cryptography Research thought you guys might have a couple suggestions. He mentioned a co-op in Boston, but couldn't recall their name. Also -- anyone know what Robert Morris Jr. is up to? Or how to contact him? Thanks very much. Mary Roach

On Thu, 9 Jul 1998, Declan McCullagh forwarded from TIME: >... > The revolution will not be televised -- at least not in Afghanistan. > The Taliban government today banned TV, and gave Afghans 15 days to > get rid of all sets and VCRs. After that, if the organization's > enforcers find one in your house, it will be destroyed and you will be > punished. >... sounds good to me; I've raised 5 children who know how to _read_. I've never owned a television, never saw the need to bring cancer into the home. TV could have been one of the greatest educational tools in the existence of mankind --and, what is it? nothing more than bread and circus for the mass, a tool for social reoganization and the destruction of the family. babysitter? momma's little helper? not really; a creator of a vast unthinking social wasteland --which, of course, fits the policy goals of Hillay's Global Village where everybody is just another butterscotch pudding to her recipe. __________________________________________________________________________ go not unto usenet for advice, for the inhabitants thereof will say: yes, and no, and maybe, and I don't know, and fuck-off. _________________________________________________________________ attila__

This does sound like a fun way to protest. I'd be willing to donate a little cash if people would send me copies of the papers that it gets put in. Heh.. it would be good for a laugh to visit an airport on that day just to see all the people taking news papers with them on international flights :) Anyone want to take a stab at a date? lithron at bellsouth dot net Jim Choate wrote: > > Forwarded message: > > > Date: Thu, 9 Jul 1998 00:47:18 -0500 (CDT) > > From: Xcott Craver <caj(a)math.niu.edu> > > Subject: "Classified" Ads (Was Re: RSA in perl illegal to export) [snip snip snip] > [text deleted] > > I like this idea a lot also.

So attila, Afghanistan will be a better place because they've banned television? I think you miss the point. Harv.

Bye Homeland Liberty
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Note the single mention of cyber warfare, hooked to chemical and biological dangers. http://www.defenselink.mil/news/ Remarks by Deputy Secretary of Defense John J. Hamre Commemorating the 200th Anniversary of the Recall of George Washington to Active Duty Mount Vernon, Virginia Saturday, July 4, 1998 [Snip] Two hundred years ago, Washington was called back to service to prepare America's defenses. Today, the American homeland faces a new and different danger. The threat is not from overt invasion, but from the sinister dangers of chemical, biological and cyber warfare. Chemical and biological weapons are a poor man's atomic bomb. They are easier to build, to hide, and to deliver to their targets. They are especially appealing to small terrorist cells and known individuals who can not challenge American military superiority on the battlefield. As in Washington's time, America is not yet fully prepared for this new challenge. We too must organize, plan, and act anew. We too must recognize that complacency and delay is dangerous. President Clinton and Secretary of Defense Cohen have made preparing the American homeland against chemical and biological weapons a top priority. The continental United States has not confronted a direct threat to its territory in this century precisely because we have confronted threats before they touched our shores. But this is a new era, where adversaries can bring their fight to our doorstep. National security now must assume a new dimension. The Department of Defense and the intelligence community must work hand in hand with law enforcement to deal with this far-reaching threat. We are taking steps to improve our knowledge of hostile elements and their plans. We are reorganizing the Defense Department to integrate our approach to counter-proliferation of these terrible new weapons, and we are launching new programs to help local emergency response forces to mitigate the effects of chemical and biological attack. [Snip] Shortly, we will commemorate this day by planting a new tree, adding to Washington's beloved "shades of Mount Vernon." We place it here as a mark of gratitude to a leader who accepted the burdens of public service to defend our young republic. We also place it here to mark our commitment to ensure future generations will live in peace and security. One hundred years from now we will not be here, but I hope Americans will gather under this tree to celebrate the 300th anniversary of Washington's act of patriotic sacrifice. And I hope they will also say, of us, that we too left a measure of our day and, by our deeds, we too preserved the safety of this sweet land of liberty. Thank you all for coming today. -END-
