We promised!

John Young We made it. http://jya.com/whpfiles.htm With some help of nmol, I got wsftp working this afternoon. I failed to click on a filename. Good stuff at webmasters.nmol.com. This site is under construction. New employee Randy is putting his software at this site. In particular, look for hypersnap which captures screen shots. This WILL NOT BE OUR WORKING SITE. Only testing so see if I sort-of understand html. Without your advice and ALOPress's html compiler putting-up a web site in one day wouldn't have been possible for me. We plan to post other people's pro se and other lawsuit progress at our site. And try to get some CROOKED JUDGES and clerks removed from the federal court system. Let's hope McKinney and Grassley can help get this settled before IT GETS EVEN WORSE! bill Title: Main(Page 1) Pro se [for yourself] Pro Se Litigation with the US Federal Government Purpose of The Real World is to help Movers, Shakers, and Do-ers

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 30 Dec 1998 20:35:34 -0500 X-Loop: openpgp.net From: Christopher Baker <chrisbaker(a)iname.com> Reply-To: isp-linux(a)isp-linux.com To: isp-linux(a)isp-linux.com Subject: Star Trek and Microsoft Star Trek and Microsoft... <Picard> "Mr. LaForge, have you had any success with your attempts at finding a weakness in the Borg? And Mr. Data, have you been able to access their command pathways?" <Geordi> "Yes, Captain. In fact, we found the answer by searching through our archives on late Twentieth-century computing technology." <Geordi presses a key, and a logo appears on the computer screen.> <Riker looks puzzled.> "What the hell is 'Microsoft'?" <Data turns to answer.> "Allow me to explain. We will send this program, for some reason called 'Windows', through the Borg command pathways. Once inside their root command unit, it will begin consuming system resources at an unstoppable rate." <Picard> "But the Borg have the ability to adapt. Won't they alter their processing systems to increase their storage capacity?" <Data> "Yes, Captain. But when 'Windows' detects this, it creates a new version of itself known as an 'upgrade'. The use of resources increases exponentially with each iteration. The Borg will not be able to adapt quickly enough. Eventually all of their processing ability will be taken over, and none will be available for their normal operational functions." <Picard> "Excellent work. This is even better than that 'unsolvable geometric shape' idea." .. . . 15 Minutes Later . . . <Data> "Captain, We have successfully installed the 'Windows' in the command unit and as expected it immediately consumed 85% of all resources. We however have not received any confirmation of the expected 'upgrade'" <Geordi> "Our scanners have picked up an increase in Borg storage and CPU capacity to compensate, but we still have no indication of an 'upgrade' to compensate for their increase." <Picard> "Data, scan the history banks again and determine if their is something we have missed." <Data> "Sir, I believe their is a reason for the failure in the ' upgrade'. Apparently the Borg have circumvented that part of the plan by not sending in their registration cards. <Riker> "Captain we have no choice. Requesting permission to begin emergency escape sequence 3F . . ." <Geordi, excited> "Wait, Captain I just detected their CPU capacity has suddenly dropped to 0%!" <Picard> "Data, what does your scanners show?" <Data> "Apparently the Borg have found the internal 'Windows' module named 'Solitaire' and it has used up all the CPU capacity." <Picard> "Lets wait and see how long this 'solitaire' can reduce their functionality." .. . . Two Hours Pass . . . <Riker> "Geordi what's the status on the Borg?" <Geordi> "As expected the Borg are attempting to re-engineer to compensate for increased CPU and storage demands, but each time they successfully increase resources I have setup our closest deep space monitor beacon to transmit more 'windows' modules from something called the 'Microsoft fun-pack'. <Picard> "How much time will that buy us ?" <Data> "Current Borg solution rates allow me to predicate an interest time span of 6 more hours." <Geordi> "Captain, another vessel has entered our sector." <Picard> "Identify." <Data> "It appears to have markings very similar to the 'Microsoft' logo." <Over the speakers> "THIS IS ADMIRAL BILL GATES OF THE MICROSOFT FLAGSHIP MONOPOLY. WE HAVE POSITIVE CONFIRMATION OF UNREGISTERED SOFTWARE IN THIS SECTOR. SURRENDER ALL ASSETS, AND WE CAN AVOID ANY TROUBLE. YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS." <Data> "The alien ship has just opened its forward hatches and released thousands of humanoid shaped objects." <Picard> "Magnify forward viewer on the alien craft." <Riker> "Good Grief, captain! Those are humans floating straight toward the Borg ship with no life support suits! How can they survive the tortures of deep space?!" <Data> "I don't believe that those are humans sir, if you will look closer I believe you will see that they are carrying something recognized by twenty-first century man as doe skin leather briefcases, and wearing Armani suits." <Riker and Picard together horrified> "Lawyers!!" <Geordi> "It can't be. All the Lawyers were rounded up and sent hurtling into the sun in 2017 during the Great Awakening." <Data> "True, but apparently some must have survived." <Riker> "They have surrounded the Borg ship and are covering it with all types of papers." <Data> "I believe that is known in ancient vernacular as 'red tape' it often proves fatal." <Riker> "They're tearing the Borg to pieces!" <Picard> "Turn off the monitors. I can't stand to watch, not even the Borg deserve that." ~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Ultimately, education is about our place in the universe, our place in it.

Stinger strike stagesetting
by Frederick Burroughs 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

There's a story in the Dec. 30, 1998 Washington Post about how US intelligence acquires foreign weapons technology. Specific mention is made about trading US Stinger missile know-how to China for whatever. My guess is the government's trying to set the stage to shift blame away from CIA for leaking antiaircraft missile technology, 1000 Stingers in the hands of Afghan rebels notwithstanding, and the aircraft disasters to come. Story at: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/campfin/stories/vecto… And, of course the esteemed Mr. Young is always on top of things: http://jya.com/vector.htm

True Random Numbers
by Kevlar 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Several months ago, someone was talking about "True random numbers" and how to obtain them, and I (rather ignorantly) suggested they run a recorded sound through a program to record a 1 for every peak of volume over a certian threshold , and a 0 for every thing quieter.(I think i suggested a russeling tree, or a waterfall) Just adjust the threshold according to the volume of your sampling. (it was clear in my mind, even if I can't explain it here) Little did I know... Read phrack 54.5. -Kevlar <Webmaster(a)max-web.com> Does God know Peano Algebra? Or does she not care if strong atheists couldnt reason their way out of a trap made of Boolean presumptions? A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing, but zero knowlege is absolutely subversive. Overspecialization breeds in weakness. It's a slow death. Beat your algorithms into swords, your dumb terminals into shields, and turn virtual machines into battlefields... Let the weak say, "I am strong" and question authority.

Speakers can be any *principal* in any field of digital commerce. That means anyone who is doing interesting research or development in, or who is making significant market innovation in, the technology, finance, economics, law, or policy of commerce on the global public internetwork. The Committee tends to consider the person giving the talk first, and then gives the speaker lots of discretion in the content of their talk -- as long as it pertains to DCSB's charter to promote innovation in internet commerce. The Society's meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month at the Downtown Branch of the Harvard Club of Boston, One Federal Street, Thirty-Eighth Floor, in Boston, from 12 to 2 in the afternoon. Unfortunately, the Society can not remunerate a speaker for any fees or expenses other than, obviously, the speaker's lunch, and basic overhead projection equipment. There is dial-up internet access for the meeting room. If you, or anyone you know, are interested in speaking to the society, please send, via email, a proposal, consisting of a single paragraph on the speaker, and a single paragraph on the proposed talk, to Robert Hettinga <mailto: rah(a)shipwright.com>, the chairman of the DCSB Program Committee, and the Society's Moderator. A list of previous speakers can be obtained with the following URL <mailto:majordomo@ai.mit.edu?body=info%20dcsb>, or, if your mailreader/browser doesn't support mailtos, send info dcsb in the *body* of a message to majordomo(a)ai.mit.edu .
