Merry Christmas from <Somewhere>

Now, *this* is curious... Anyone, especially from C2NET, wanna take a shot at the following? I think I can tell him what CTO means ;-), but what about the rest? Cheers, RAH --- begin forwarded text From: Somebody To: <rah(a)philodox.com> Subject: Merry Christmas from <Somewhere> Date: <would actually tell you where they were...> Status: U Dear Rob Hettinga Merry Christmas and a happy new year! Hi, my name is <Somebody> I hope you remember me from FC98. I am trying to find out what is happening with C2net. I heard a rumor that C2net had corporate restructuring and Sameer quit CEO and became CTO. What is CTO anyway? Also, there was a rumor that someone who was in charge of the development of the SSL in Australia quit working for C2net. Does this have to do with Sameer's announcement of the OpenSSL project? I really need to know this. Please reply to my e-mail if you know anything about it. Thank you. <Somebody's .sig> --- end forwarded text ----------------- Robert A.

Is Sameer/C2net Attempting to subvert the OpenSSL and Mod-ssl projects
by Anonymous 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

To: cypherpunks(a)cyberpass.net cc: Subject: OpenSSL and C2Nets attempted subversion of same(Sameers track record -------- On the Subject of Sameers record with open source mod_ssl.c(this was the component that Sameer wishes wasnt available(and did his best to deny to his customers) and indeed was quite sucessful in preventing its availability until Ralf Engleschall's mod_ssl becam available... This is the REAL reason C2net took a nose dive...) and now it appears Sameer is trying to co-opt that project also. I trust Ben Laurie and Ralf... They developed the code . I DONT trust Sameer... he is simply a privateer, he takes sources and trys to restrict availability so he can make a profit from Intellectual Property NOT developed by him... I specifically suspect his announcement coming on the heels of Ben's. I dont think this person will ever get a clue about either Open Source or GPL. merry Xmas the baby ruth bar in the swimming pool :)

INTELLIGENT VIRUS INVADES NT SERVERS A new computer virus that attacked 10 MCI Worldcom networks last week is capable of spreading throughout computer networks and scrambling the documents on those networks as it goes. "We've never seen anything this sophisticated in 10 years of doing this," says Network Associates' general manager of network security. "This is a completely new strain of virus and the first we've seen that propagates itself with no user interaction." The "Remote Explorer" virus runs on Microsoft Windows NT servers and affects common programs like Microsoft Word. Users clicking on their Word icon might experience a slight delay, but otherwise would be unable to detect the presence of the virus; meanwhile, the virus is busy corrupting files and spreading to other programs. Microsoft officials say they're "aware of other viruses that have the same characteristics," and Network Associates says it has developed a Remote Explorer detector and is working on a solution to decode the affected files.

I want to spam the Jury Duty information
by Anonymous 17 Dec '03

I think about putting up about $200 or so (whetever a decent spamming will cost me) and spam the internet with the information about jurors rights and jury nullification. Anyone thinks that it is a good idea?
