Not just for the fear and distress it causes them but because the fire might spread to their houses. Which is why we have fire brigades. And why they are nearly always paid for out of tax. Almost the last thing in the world anyone does privately. Of course, that applies to cities, not to the country - but cities are where it's at. Ken Brown.

I just picked up a Moniker Crypto Card, made by Litronic, Fortezza Compliant, PCMCIA v2.1 type 2 card. Seems all the software went behind a $600month, 6mo min, ftp site as of oct 1, 1998. I don't want to seem like a warez d00d, I am looking for software to use this card, or further info, but may be up the river. Its a risc processor in a card to do fast crypto and store info on it. Thanks Bryan

Your Computer Makes Money While You Sleep
by rbssales＠hotmail.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

"YOUR COMPUTER CAN MAKE MONEY WHILE YOU SLEEP" Respected 10 Year Old Company Shows You How I know that's an incredible statement, but bear with me while I explain. Chances are you have already sifted through dozens of "Get Rich Quick" schemes, chain letter offers, and LOTS of other absurd scams that promise to make you rich overnight with no investment and no work. I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize for all of that. Some Internet marketers think nothing of cheapening an otherwise promising medium, which has the effect of casting a shadow over the credibility of the rest of us. Don't get me started. Anyway, my offer isn't one of those. What I'm offering is a straightforward computer-based service that you can run full-or part-time like a regular business. This service runs auto- matically while you sleep, vacation, or work a "regular" job. It provides a valuable new service for businesses in your area. I'm offering a high-tech, low-maintenance, work-from-anywhere business that can bring in a nice comfortable additional income for your family. I did it for eight years. Since I started inviting others to join me, I've helped over 4000 do the same. 901-751-8800 http://www.alice.net I invented it, and it's called a "Remote Backup Service." You may have read about it in Entrepreneur Magazine, Inc, Home Office Computing, HomePC, or any of dozens of city newspapers. I've been written up many times in books, magazines, and news- papers. I've even spawned a few competitors who's ads you may have seen on the Internet, and especially on the Web. Don't be fooled by them. Mine is the first, the one that kicked off the industry - the REAL DEAL. It works like this: At night, while you sleep and your clients' businesses are closed, your computer accepts backup data sent automatically by the clients' computers. You store this data for your clients on your computer. Your clients pay you a monthly service charge plus a per-minute charge for every minute they are connected to your service and a fee per- megabyte. This business might not sound very exciting, but believe me, it is growing VERY rapidly. It can generate a steadily increasing, permanent source of reliable, recurring monthly income for your family that will improve your standard of living, and WON'T cost a fortune to start or run, ESPECIALLY if you already have a computer and modem; and I assume you do, since you received this EMail. It won't take up all your time - in fact, the service almost runs itself. I've packaged everything I know about Remote Backup Services - years of experience, tips and techniques. I've interviewed many Remote Backup Service providers around the world and included their advice and methods. I've included advertising and marketing materials that you can use in your own business, reviews of pricing structures, and tutorials on technical subjects. Phone: 901-751-8800 http://www.alice.net (No, you DON'T have to be a computer guru to run an RBS!) I've included the amazing software I wrote especially to run an RBS, RBackup. That's just a small sample of what's included in the "RBS Business Kit." The RBS Business Kit contains everything you need to start and operate this revolutionary new work-from-anywhere business, INCLUDING SOFTWARE, ongoing business and technical support, and much more. You can start out small, with say, five clients (average billing about $50 to $100 per month) and move up as you grow. Our RBS Business Kits contain everything you need to know to get started. * RBackup Remote Backup Software * Complete Business Operation Manual * Camera-ready ads and brochures * Data Loss Risk Evaluation Form * FREE National Client Referrals * Marketing Manual * Ad Kit (electronic version) * Full-time consulting support * Subscription to The EchoNet * Subscription to The RBS News * A dedicated team of RBS experts * Presentation-On-A-Disk How much can you make? Here are some figures: An average client spends $50 to $100 a month for a Remote Backup Service. Twenty average clients (a small number) bring in $1000 to $2000 a month. Many RBS Providers have 60, 100, 300, and more clients. Some have 600 and more. Phone: 901-751-8800 http://www.alice.net What Current RBS Providers Say "Your energy and drive are truly an inspiration to me and I'm sure to others also. Thanks for sharing your creation with us so we can all become successful... Keep up the good work!" C.G., Palos Hills, Il "I restored my first client today. His PC had crashed due to a power spike. I reformatted his hard drive and restored his data from my RBS system. He was up and running in two hours. The guy was wrapped. Made me feel good too!" - T.V., New Zealand "Very few software providers freely disseminate information regarding future inclusions and upgrades like you do. Even fewer accept much input regarding potential changes and up- grades. you listen!" M.K., Tampa, Fl "I'll be able to quit a 17-year job at the Post Office! Thanks, Rob!" - R.W., Detroit, Mi. *** The Dallas Morning News - Aug, 1994 - "This home business idea is new.. it can be a profitable income producer. Since it's 'remote,' it doesn't matter where you do it." *** Phone: 901-751-8800 http://www.alice.net The RBS BizKit comes with a 3 month subscription to our Member's Area, and a subscription to "The RBS Dispatch," the monthly Electronic newsletter of the Remote Backup Service industry. Best of all, you'll have direct contact with your fellow RBS Providers worldwide through our extensive internet- linked EchoNet. Ask questions 24 hours a day. Join in on-line conferences. Get answers on weekends and holidays. Bounce new ideas around. Learn from the old timers. Exchange software, brochures, and other RBS marketing material. It's GREAT! You have taken the first step by being kind enough to read this too-long note. If you are ready to begin your own Remote Backup Service, place your order now by calling 901-751-8800. Phones are answered from 9:00AM to 5:00PM Central Time Monday through Friday. You can also check out our 1800 page interactive web site at http://www.alice.net My staff and I are committed to making YOU successful in our industry. We KNOW how to do it, because we've done it ourselves. Many of our RBS Providers have 50, 60, 100, 200 and 300 clients after only a few months in business. You can, too. Let us show YOU how to make YOUR computer earn money while YOU sleep! Call us now - 901-751-8800 http://www.alice.net *******************************************************************

Where? Speech is a right not an immunity or privilige and the 14th doesn't extend a single right only federaly mandated immunities and priviliges. That is unless you're willing to let your rights become priviliges or immunities given by the federal government. Not exactly what a right started out to be. The 14th is great spin-doctor bull-shit. > Some freedom of choice - if you don't like what the government forces > on you, move.

True, but this is confusing a particular implimentation (however flawed) with the principles behind it. Not the most accurate representation. ____________________________________________________________________ Lawyers ask the wrong questions when they don't want the right answers.

Nonsense, in this country the people chose to give the federal government specific duties in regards violence and when it could be used and how. It's nowhere near as one-sided as you would have anyone believe. > Free markets consider those things > to be bad, though in some free markets they're for sale anyway. I find NOTHING in free-market theory that says violence is bad let alone that it won't be prevelant. I hear a lot of folks claim this is the natural result but then again, that's what Trotsky and his ilk did back at the beginning of this century. Simply claiming something about a potential system is not the same as demonstrating that it actualy works that way. > Nonsense again. Social institutions aren't a market issue, They are if they impact what people do with their income. Simply saying that we're going to ignore the political and economic impact of a sector of human indeavour simply because it doesn't if within a nice little chart is a disservice. > though some services provided by them can also be provided by markets, > i.e. hiring people to do things.

Please demonstrate what about anarchy will coerce (there is no other term) individuals to do what is best for their neighbor.

Explain how it works, it's that simple (and repeated for about the umpteenth time). I find another aspect of anarchism pretty interesting, that is the level of cooperation and homogeneity it would require for people to work together. They have to give up various expressions of their religions and personal beliefs in order to participate, othewise they let the assholes house burn or whatever. Sounds suspicously like socialism where each person is expected to participate and produce according to the good of the many. ____________________________________________________________________ Lawyers ask the wrong questions when they don't want the right answers.
