Good luck trying to buy a beer, BTW. If they didn't own Utah, they would be firebombed faster than you can say Janet Reno. They only got to own Utah because they Judased their own religious beliefs (polygamy) to suck up to the rest of the (puritan-based) country. I have no beef with anyone practicing their mental illnesses privately, but when they use the violence of the State to coerce others, they need killing. --- Reminds me of when a sociologist was interviewing a southern farmer: Why do you think the murder rate is higher in the south? I guess more southerners need killin'. as told by Aaron Evans

I was gently implying that anyone that adhered to a religion where God is a human being on the planet Kolab can't be super-bright. But then again, the CEO of Corvis is a Mormon and he's not an idiot, though he is by every account a megalomaniac and rather sociopathic. "Good luck trying to buy a beer, BTW." Actually on Thursday night I found a good little brewpub just a few blocks from that Temple (and that's their world HQ, BTW). There were a couple of others even closer, but they were hidden in a backalley like a speakeasy...kind of amusing. But the Mormons themselves (like SLC) are strangely banal...I was wondering where 'Landrew' was. Also, absolutely no caffeine, either. When they told me true Mormons would never knock back a good cappucino I told them that was simply too much for any good NYC boy to bare. -TD >From: "Major Variola (ret)" <mv(a)cdc.gov> >To: "cypherpunks(a)lne.com" <cypherpunks(a)lne.com> >Subject: Is Hatch a Mormon or a crypto Satanist?

Re: Attacking networks using DHCP, DNS - probably kills DNSSEC

Given that their goal is zero-configuration networking, I can see that being required to provide a shared secret would mess things up a bit for them. It'd be a bit like PKIX being asked to make ease-of-use a consideration in their work, or OpenPGP to take X.509 compatibility into account.
