If you really believed all that pseudo-Libertarian crap you write you would understand that national government is no more legitimate than trans national.

Government's reply in Bernstein appeal; Dec 8 hearing coming
by John Gilmore 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The Government's 38-page reply argues that: * The EAR's Export Controls Are Not a Facially Unconstitutional Prior Restraint * The EAR's Export Controls Satisfy the First Amendment Standards Governing Content-Neutral Regulations * The District Court's Declaratory and Injunctive Relief is Too Broad The brief is available in graphical page images in: http://www.eff.org/pub/Legal/Cases/Bernstein_v_DoS/Legal/ (Reload the page in your browser if you have an older version cached.) Several amicus briefs, filed on November 10 along with Professor Bernstein's appeal brief, are also newly on the Web. The full set of filings for this appeal includes: Government's appeal brief Bernstein's appeal brief Amicus briefs from: Law professors EPIC & civil liberties organizations American Assoc. for the Advencement of Science (missing) Thomas Jefferson Center, re Founders' use of crypto RSA & NCSA & others, re reduced security from controls Government's reply brief The Court will now digest this large meal of cellulose, then hold a hearing in which the judges can question the lawyers from both sides, about anything they are unclear about. They will then deliberate, and write and issue their decision. The appeal hearing is on December 8, at 9AM at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, 95 Seventh Street, San Francisco. This is *not* the same location as earlier hearings in the case. We hope you can come, to witness the struggle for civil rights for cryptographers, to speak with the press who attend, to meet with other people concerned about cryptography policy, and to show the judges that the public cares how they decide this case.

* Several news organizations reported in March and April on Japanese men's increasing sexual fascination with high school and junior-high school girls. One expert interviewed by the New York Times, Hiroyuki Fukuda, 30, editor of a magazine whose title can be translated Anatomical Illustrations of Junior High School Girls, said, "The age at which the girls seem interesting is clearly dropping. But it's only the maniacs who go for girls below the third grade." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To read these News of the Weird newspaper columns from the past six months, go to http://www.nine.org/notw/notw.html (That site contains no graphics, no photos, no video clips, no audio.

Reuters New Media [Click here for MCA Home Video] [ Yahoo | Write Us | Search | Info ] [ Index | News | World | Biz | Tech | Politic | Sport | Scoreboard | Entertain | Health ] _________________________________________________________________ Previous Story: Crocodile attacks man, gets poked in the eyes Next Story: Mantle auction to proceed with lock of hair _________________________________________________________________ Friday November 21 4:56 PM EST Spy cameras -- latest motivational tool? SINGAPORE (Reuters) - A Singapore firm is selling what it says is the latest motivational tool to get the best from staff -- spy cameras. "Productivity really does go up with this system. You see a very quick return on your investment in any business," said Jeffrey Tan, whose company ABC Asia Pacific markets 'Spy Eyes'. "It is a deterrent for staff who are lazy or who might want to steal from the cash register," he said. Tan told Reuters Friday he became the Asian distribution agent for the U.S.-made Spy Eyes camera surveillance system after installing it at his own firm to halt sliding sales and cut staff turnover. The system can achieve the latter effect by showing bosses that their staff is indeed working -- or has few customers to sell to -- and thus reduce unjustified management complaints. Tan has already sold at least 10 systems, which can also be fitted at homes for those who want to make sure the thousands of domestic maids employed in Singapore work hard on household chores while their employers are at the office. Costing about Singapore $3,500 (US$2,200) for a single camera starter system, Tan said he was running a special introductory offer for a free second camera for people who wanted to be in more than two places at once. "It's a helpful tool for people who want to stay in control," Tan said. _________________________________________________________________ ________________________ Search News Help _________________________________________________________________ Previous Story: Crocodile attacks man, gets poked in the eyes Next Story: Mantle auction to proceed with lock of hair [Click here for MCA Home Video] _________________________________________________________________ [ Index | News | World | Biz | Tech | Politic | Sport | Scoreboard | Entertain | Health ] _________________________________________________________________ Reuters Limited Questions or Comments
