I Lost 4 lbs. in 4 Days...Without Dieting!!!
by unknown＠example.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

************************************** EAT THE FOODS YOU LOVE NO WILL POWER REQUIRED ************************************** Anyone who has struggled to lose weight, like I did, can tell you DIETS ALONE DON'T WORK ! That's because the difference between thin and overweight individuals has more to do with metabolic rate than what they eat. It's believed most lean individuals have a metabolism designed to BURN FAT ! We have designed a product that works several ways to help you achieve maximum results from your weight-loss program. This unique blend of herbs, botanicals and Chromium Picolinate, improves your metabolism so your body relies more on stored fat and less on stored proteins. "LOSE THE FAT.... NOT THE MUSCLE" Typically, up to 30% of lost weight is muscle. This lowers your metabolic rate and slows calorie-burning. This lowered metabolic rate makes it hard to keep lost pounds from creeping back. Result: the "Yo-Yo" syndrome in which weight is repeatedly lost and then regained. After each lose-gain cycle the portion of fat increases. To break this vicious cycle, it is important to lose only fat while maintaining, or even increasing muscle. Studies show that optimal chromium nutrition is an effective part of long-term fat-loss programs. Our unique formula of specialized herbs and botanicals is coupled with the best source of chromium available, patented Chromium Picolinate. HERE'S EVIDENCE ! Several double-blind crossover studies conducted along with clinical and laboratory tests at a leading university and hospital have proven that the ingredients in this product are effective. Without changing dietary or exercise habits, over a six-week period, subjects in separate studies lost an average of 23% body fat or approximately 4.4 lbs. of fat, and increased lean body mass by 1.5 lbs. People over the age of 46 did even better, and women seemed to do the best. People with elevated cholesterol levels averaged a 10% drop in LDL cholesterol. WHAT EXACTLY IS CHROMIUM PICOLINATE? It's a bioactive chromium with clinically proven benefits. Chromium is vital to good health and is essential for the efficient functioning of insulin. Poor responsiveness to insulin is common and is linked with increased risk of being overweight, heart disease, elevated blood fat, high blood presure and diabetes. Over 90% of American diets provide much less than the minimal amount of chromium recommended by The National Academy of Science. Most forms of chromium are not easily absorbed by the body, but chromium picolinate, being bioactive, is easily absorbed. In fact, it has been shown to reduce body fat, lower cholesterol and even reduce elevated block-sugar in diabetics. THE DIET BREAKTHRU OF THE CENTURY !! "Over the last 10 years, I have tried a variety of weight loss methods, spent thousands of dollars and failed at all of them. By December 1995, I was the heaviest I had ever weighed-235 lbs. I had no energy. My self-esteem had hit rock bottom... I was introduced to Thermo Lift and have never looked back! My energy level has boosted and my weight loss increased... In total I have lost 70 lbs. and went from a size 22 to a size 12. The most amazing part - It's So Easy!" Becky "I began using Thermo-Lift the seventh week of gymnastics training to achieve a specific result: a washboard stomach. By the end of the eighth week all I could see were solid stomach muscles! I recommend Thermo-Lift to all my muscle therapy clientele for its superior fat burnng and muscle toning abilities." Chris "I had tried everything to lose weight but nothing worked. With Thermo-Lift I was amazed at how quickly I lost weight - 4 pounds in 4 days! My energy level has sky rocketed and it's helped me curb my chocolate binges. Thanks!!" Gloria 100% SAFE AND NATURAL! ! THE INGREDIENTS Chromium Picolinate: Helps your body use stored fat for energy while maintaining lean muscle mass. Bee Pollen: Effective for combating fatigue, depression, and colon disorders. Siberian Ginseng: Is a good source of energy and endurance, as well as mental and physical vigor. Gota Kola: Aids in the elimination of excess fluids, fights fatigue and depression. Guarana Extract: Increases mental alertness and fights fatigue. A very high energy source. Ma Huang Extract: Helps to increase energy; controls appetite. Also includes: White Willow Bark, Bladderwrack, Reishi Mushroom, Rehmannia Root, Ginger Root, Licorice Root, and Astralagus. NUTRITIONAL BREAKTHROUGH! Now You Can Safely Shed Unwanted Fat - Without Dieting Or Strenuous Exercise! It's The Way To Firm Up Without Giving Up The Food You Love! IT'S SO EASY !

"Toto" is actually an anonymous pseudonym of Adam Back, who resents Tim May's respected position on the list. "TruthMonger" posts are usually written by John Young and Robert Hettinga as a result of having the same drug connections and thus a common outlook on life when they are stoned out of their gourds. Lucky Green's recent posts are actually forgeries done by snow, and Kent Crispin has been sending posts purporting to be from Dr. Vulis. The fact is, forgeries have gotten so out of hand on the cypherpunks list that even the "can i join" and "subscribe me" posts of late are probably coming from John Gilmore, who is forging AOL return addresses in an attempt to bring calls for his return to hosting the list in order to save us from "The Night of the Living Newbies."

Re: Dr. Dobbs Cryptography and Security CD-ROM

You mean that it would be fine for foreigners to copy and sell the CD, but not to put it on the net? Well, copyright law being what it is, makes this a bit tricky. An ftp administrator have never been sentenced for copyright violation (please correct me if I'm wrong), but CD copiers are thrown in jail all the time. The distinction that the courts make is that of profit. Sure, they can buy the book, but the electronic version is obviously more useful to some people, or there wouldn't be any market for it. I know foreigners who would like to put a copy of Applied Cryptography in their PalmPilots, to carry around for reference. They can't do that legaly, and that makes crypto less accessible. Mike.

List of reliable remailers
by Raph Levien 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I operate a remailer pinging service which collects detailed information about remailer features and reliability. To use it, just finger remailer-list(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu There is also a Web version of the same information, plus lots of interesting links to remailer-related resources, at: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~raph/remailer-list.html This information is used by premail, a remailer chaining and PGP encrypting client for outgoing mail. For more information, see: http://www.c2.org/~raph/premail.html For the PGP public keys of the remailers, finger pgpkeys(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu This is the current info: REMAILER LIST This is an automatically generated listing of remailers. The first part of the listing shows the remailers along with configuration options and special features for each of the remailers. The second part shows the 12-day history, and average latency and uptime for each remailer. You can also get this list by fingering remailer-list(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu. $remailer{"extropia"} = "<remail(a)miron.vip.best.com> cpunk pgp special"; $remailer{"mix"} = "<mixmaster(a)remail.obscura.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek ksub reord ?"; $remailer{"replay"} = "<remailer(a)replay.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut post ek"; $remailer{"exon"} = "<remailer(a)remailer.nl.com> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"haystack"} = "<haystack(a)holy.cow.net> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"lucifer"} = "<lucifer(a)dhp.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"jam"} = "<remailer(a)cypherpunks.ca> cpunk mix pgp hash middle latent cut ek"; $remailer{"winsock"} = "<winsock(a)rigel.cyberpass.net> cpunk pgp pgponly hash cut ksub reord"; $remailer{'nym'} = '<config(a)nym.alias.net> newnym pgp'; $remailer{"balls"} = "<remailer(a)huge.cajones.com> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"squirrel"} = "<mix(a)squirrel.owl.de> cpunk mix pgp pgponly hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"middle"} = "<middleman(a)jpunix.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek reord"; $remailer{'cyber'} = '<alias(a)alias.cyberpass.net> alpha pgp'; $remailer{'weasel'} = '<config(a)weasel.owl.de> newnym pgp'; $remailer{"reno"} = "<middleman(a)cyberpass.net> cpunk mix pgp hash middle latent cut ek reord ?"; $remailer{"wazoo"} = "<remailer(a)wazoo.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"shaman"} = "<remailer(a)lycaeum.org> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"hidden"} = "<remailer(a)hidden.net> cpunk pgp hash latent cut"; catalyst(a)netcom.com is _not_ a remailer. lmccarth(a)ducie.cs.umass.edu is _not_ a remailer. usura(a)replay.com is _not_ a remailer. remailer(a)crynwr.com is _not_ a remailer. There is no remailer at relay.com. Groups of remailers sharing a machine or operator: (cyber mix) (weasel squirrel) The alpha and nymrod nymservers are down due to abuse. However, you can use the nym or weasel (newnym style) nymservers. The cyber nymserver is quite reliable for outgoing mail (which is what's measured here), but is exhibiting serious reliability problems for incoming mail. The squirrel and winsock remailers accept PGP encrypted mail only. 403 Permission denied errors have been caused by a flaky disk on the Berkeley WWW server. This seems to be fixed now.

A period after the keyword means that the short name, rather than the full email address, should be used as the encryption key ID. hash Supports ## pasting, so anything can be put into the headers of outgoing messages. ksub Remailer always kills subject header, even in non-pgp mode. nsub Remailer always preserves subject header, even in pgp mode. latent Supports Matt Ghio's Latent-Time: option. cut Supports Matt Ghio's Cutmarks: option. post Post to Usenet using Post-To: or Anon-Post-To: header. ek Encrypt responses in reply blocks using Encrypt-Key: header. special Accepts only pgp encrypted messages. mix Can accept messages in Mixmaster format. reord Attempts to foil traffic analysis by reordering messages. Note: I'm relying on the word of the remailer operator here, and haven't verified the reord info myself. mon Remailer has been known to monitor contents of private email. filter Remailer has been known to filter messages based on content. If not listed in conjunction with mon, then only messages destined for public forums are subject to filtering. Raph Levien

The National Security Agency has asked Sun Microsystems Inc. and Elvis+, the Russian networking company in which Sun has a 10 percent stake, to turn over the source code of its SunScreen SKIP E+. At press time, Sun and the NSA still were negotiating over which parts of the code Sun must turn over. Elvis+ President and Chief Executive Alexander Galitsky has refused to turn over all the source code on the grounds that the government does not need it. "We will offer the NSA a nondisclosure agreement and two to four code modules so they can compare our source code with Sun's source code," said Steven Hunzicker, chief operating officer of Russia Communications Research Inc., a technology broker for Elvis+ in Los Gatos, Calif. "We want to be reasonable and respectful, but not foolish. To ask for the entire source code is unreasonable in any type of environment, business or otherwise. Sun wouldn't give up their whole source code to the government." This is the latest development between the government, Elvis+ and Sun over encryption policy. In May, Mountain View, Calif.-based Sun hoped to sidestep U.S. encryption laws by selling the Elvis+ technology overseas and importing it into the United States (CRN, May 26). Sun has exclusive rights to the Elvis+ products on Windows 95 and 3.11. Moreover, the Elvis+ technology is built from Sun's SKIP encryption and key management protocol. A Sun spokeswoman said Sun was in communication with the U.S. Department of Commerce, but otherwise had no comment. The Commerce Department, meanwhile, either will escalate its inquiry into a full-scale investigation or resolve the issue, said a spokeswoman for the department. The NSA declined to comment on the matter. Sources familiar with the inquiry said the Commerce Department is leaning toward quiet resolution, despite the NSA's request. "This is not a fight worth fighting," one source said. "They're watching the situation, but right now no one wants to play." Sun also acknowledged this week that the U.S. State Department is investigating the diversion of a Sun server for unapproved use in China. A Sun spokesman said the company is cooperating with the government and is in touch with both the reseller and buyer of the server in an attempt to get it back. The spokesman refused to provide further details, citing national security concerns. --- end forwarded text Vinnie Moscaritolo That Crypto Guy at Apple... http://www.vmeng.com/vinnie/ PGP: 4FA3298150E404F2782501876EA2146A DSS/DH: B36343A790489C8D4E149147D57A7566C206F586 1 if by land, 2 if by sea.

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- The Digital Commerce Society of Boston Presents Mr. Duncan Frissell, Frissell Associates "Markets Rule! OK Bet on MarketEarth -- Bet Against Bureaucracy" Tuesday, August 5, 1997 12 - 2 PM The Downtown Harvard Club of Boston One Federal Street, Boston, MA Mr. Frissell, the Net's most enthusiastic Technoptimist will answer such questions as: Why did Central Planning, Deutsche Telecom, and X.25 lose and the Market, telecoms competition, and TCP/IP win? Can banks compete with nonbanks? Why controlling the Nets is as hard as controlling the thoughts of other people. Why popular measures like immigration control are doomed. What do such phenomenon as the Jewish Holiday Effect, the Sack Full of Cats in the River Effect, the Canadian Air Service Effect, the Saturday Morning Shopping Trip Effect, and the Taiwanese Privatization Effect tell us about the future of government and the individual? Why things are not the same and never will be again? Why the Market is "X-The Unknown," "The Blob," -- and why even Steve McQueen couldn't save us from it? "Duncan Frissell makes Kevin Kelly sound like Jimmy Carter." -- Anonymous Mr. Frissell, an Attorney, privacy consultant, and author, has worked in what he insists on calling the "Right Wing Nut Investment Community" for more than 20 years. This meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston will be held on Tuesday, August 5, 1997, from 12pm - 2pm at the Downtown Branch of the Harvard Club of Boston, on One Federal Street. The price for lunch is $30.00. This price includes lunch, room rental, various A/V hardware, and the speaker's lunch. ;-). The Harvard Club *does* have dress code: jackets and ties for men (and no sneakers or jeans), and "appropriate business attire" (whatever that means), for women. Fair warning: since we purchase these luncheons in advance, we will be unable to refund the price of your lunch if the Club finds you in violation of the dress code. We will attempt to record this meeting and put it on the web in RealAudio format at some future date We need to receive a company check, or money order, (or, if we *really* know you, a personal check) payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", by Saturday, August 2, or you won't be on the list for lunch. Checks payable to anyone else but The Harvard Club of Boston will have to be sent back. Checks should be sent to Robert Hettinga, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02131. Again, they *must* be made payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", in the amount of $30.00. If anyone has questions, or has a problem with these arrangements (We've had to work with glacial A/P departments more than once, for instance), please let us know via e-mail, and we'll see if we can work something out. Upcoming speakers for DCSB are: September Christof Paar Elliptic Curve Cryptography October Peter Cassidy Military Fiat and Digital Commerce November Carl Ellison Identity and Certification for Electronic Commerce We are actively searching for future speakers.
