Twofish soruce code outside the U.S.
by Bruce Schneier 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

It's time to play the dumb export control game. I have to take steps to prevent non-US and non-Canadian persons from downloading the Twofish source. However, if someone outside the US manages to get their hands on the Twofish source from my website and puts it up on their website, please let me know. I would like very much to link to it, so others can get the Twofish code. Thanks, Bruce ********************************************************************** Bruce Schneier, President, Counterpane Systems Phone: 612-823-1098 101 E Minnehaha Parkway, Minneapolis, MN 55419 Fax: 612-823-1590 http://www.counterpane.com

Digital Frontiers Newsletter #2 - Correction
by info＠digfrontiers.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Digital Frontiers Newsletter #2 ------------------------------- Thank you for your interest in Digital Frontiers web optimization products. This email is to inform you of some recent changes to our product lineup. If you don't want to receive future mailings, our apologies -- please reply to info(a)digfrontiers.com. We apologize if you have received more than one copy of this newsletter - we're trying to improve our list management software, but are still working out the kinks. *** 10% Off on all HVS Products! *** ------------------------------------ In a blatant ploy to get you off the golf course/beach and back in front of your computer optimizing your web graphics (just kidding), we're offering a 10% discount across our entire product line until July 15. There's never been a better time to purchase the award-winning HVS series. *** HVS Animator Version 1.03 *** --------------------------------- Version 1.03 of HVS Animator has just been released for Macintosh. This new version includes the ability to set exact loop counts. We expect the Windows version to be available within a few days. For your free download please visit our website at http://www.digfrontiers.com. *** NEW! HVS ColorGIF 2.0/HVS Animator Pro Bundle *** ----------------------------------------------------- HVS Animator Pro, the GIF animation editor/optimizer that contains the same size-squeezing technology as HVS GIFCruncher, can now be purchased with HVS ColorGIF 2.0 for only $145. Also, The HVS Toolkit Pro, which includes HVS ColorGIF 2.0, HVS JPEG, and HVS Animator Pro, is available for only $208. If you already own HVS ColorGIF 2.0, if you register you can upgrade to HVS Animator Pro for $49. Both can be purchased via our secure commerce server at: http://www.digfrontiers.com/purchase.html *** Reviews *** --------------- In the June issue of PC Graphics & Video, HVS optimization stacks up quite favorably against higher-profile (and more expensive) offerings from Adobe, Macromedia, and others. Take a look. By the way - they misprinted the price at $599 for our Toolkit Pro - its actually $208! Andy King, a leading industry analyst and Managing Editor of Mecklermedia's webreference.com, looks at HVS ColorGIF 2.0 in a detailed article on color reduction. Go to http://www.webreference.com/dev/graphics/reduce.html. *** HVS GIFCruncher Update *** ------------------------------ The response to HVS GIFCruncher, our free GIF optimization service, has been overwhelming. The reports we're getting indicate that GIFCruncher users are thrilled with the results. We have had enough load that the current server is getting bogged down at times. So we're moving HVS GIFCruncher to a fast new server - we expect to be online by late June. If you haven't tried GIFCruncher yet, give it a spin - it can reduce the size of your GIFs by 50% or more - http://www.digfrontiers.com/gcrunch.html. Currently, all enabled HVS GIFCruncher features are free so everyone can get acquainted with the service and the excellent results it can produce. We will be transitioning to a fee basis for Custom and Batch operations in a few weeks, but basic operations will remain free. On a related note, we've had many requests for a desktop version of HVS GIFCruncher. We're working on it now, and expect it to be ready in a few weeks - if you would like to be included on an early release list, please let us know at info(a)digfrontiers.com. The HVS GIFCruncher Webmaster Version is available now, and can automatically process an entire local, FTP or HTTP directory -- or an entire site -- and optimize all the GIFs that it finds using award-winning HVS optimization algorithms. Details are at http://www.digfrontiers.com/gc_wv_faq.html. Thanks for your time and keep conserving bandwidth with HVS products! ----------------- Digital Frontiers 1019 Asbury Ave. Evanston, IL 60202 847-328-0880 voice 847-869-2053 fax info(a)digfrontiers.com http://www.digfrontiers.com

First Century Church
by jmessenger＠30337.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hello. Jim and I received your name from a list given to us by a friend who indicated that you may be interested in a unique Christian site in Jerusalem (the Holy Land): http://jcr.org The Jerusalem Christian Review is Jerusalem's leading Christian newspaper, and reports discoveries in the Holy Land which have direct implications on our understanding of the Bible. Their reports are well documented with pictures and the participation of world-famous Bible scholars in Jerusalem. Some of these discoveries include: - A First Century Jerusalem Tomb with an inscribed dedication to "Jesus, who Ascended", dating to before the New Testament was written! - A First Century Amulet found in the Holy Land which seem to depict come of the Miracles of Jesus! -- The recently found Palace of King David, including an exclusive interview with the Hebrew University archaeologist who discovered it. - A burial cave in Nazareth with the personal testimonials of the very first Christians of Galilee. - Answers to the Mystery of Calvary. Scholars Find Stunning Evidence of Jesus' Crucifixion at Golgotha! Although we are not personally connected to this ministry, we were so impressed with the impact of the information at this site that we felt it was our duty to help spread the word. It has helped us so much in our own walk with the Lord and with evangelism! We ask you to forward copies of this letter to all of your friends, so that they can be informed of the dynamic way God is reaching back through history and revealing Himself so dramatically to the world today! Take a look for yourself. Again, the WWW address in Jerusalem is: http://jcr.org Yours in His service, Jim and Barbara Randolph P. S.: We are attaching here part of a statement of mission taken from the web site of the Jerusalem Christian Review, which is exciting!! -------------------------------------------------------------- Special Request: PLEASE HELP SHARE THIS IMPORTANT EVIDENCE BY COPYING THIS MESSAGE AND SENDING IT TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. THANK YOU. _______________________________ *********************************************** >From the Editor: >From the Past to the Present... The Jerusalem Christian Review , a newspaper with a mission. The very first Christians in the world were those who witnessed first hand the Ministry, Words and deeds of Jesus of Nazareth. They had a very unique opportunity - the opportunity to personally ask Him questions, interact with Him and see for themselves the culmination of His life on earth. While these first witnesses can no longer testify to the events of the past, their inscribed testimonials, some of which were buried for two-thousand years, are only today being discovered and deciphered in the Holy Land. In recent years, unprecedented archaeological study and biblical research has literally brought to life the very pages of the Bible. Scholars in the Holy Land have unearthed startling discoveries which reveal, in more clarity than ever in history, the world of the very first followers of Jesus. Today, one can physically walk in the footsteps of His disciples and first apostles, sit in the very places where they were judged, witness the spectacular nature of the cities they lived in and read the inscriptions they left behind. A cave found years ago by the renown French archaeologist, Charles Clarmont-Ganneau, near ancient Bethany, exposed a first century tomb which included three ossuaries (stone coffins) inscribed with the symbol of the cross and the Hebrew names of Lazarus, Martha and Mary (John 11:1,2). In a nearby tomb, a monogrammed dedication written only a few years after Jesus' crucifixion, also accompanied by a cross mark, was deciphered by Prof. J. Finegan of the Pacific School of Religion, Berkeley, to read: "Jesus Christ, the Redeemer." At the southern edge of the Kidron Valley, the "Valley of Judgement" in Jerusalem, the Hebrew University archaeologist, Prof. Eleazar L. Sukenik, discovered a first century ossuary with cross marks and a testimonial reading: "[To] Jesus, the Lord." (For more information, please see the Jerusalem Christian Review, Internet Edition, at http://jcr.org. Indeed, one cannot escape the inevitable conclusion that God is, today, using the Holy Land and the accelerated study of archaeology to substantiate the biblical narrative and to present a very modern message to today's world. The Jerusalem Christian Review, Jerusalem's leading Christian newspaper, invites you to join with us in prayer that, through the information contained in these pages, many might come to the realization that the Lord's Word is true. We invite you to take this opportunity to use the evidence being presented in this edition, and in future editions, to be good stewards of this message from the Holy Land - to tell your family and friends of these testimonials, which carry from the past a very modern message to the present and for the future. *********************************************** You can access the Jerusalem Christian Review in Jerusalem at: http://jcr.org We ask you to help share the Word by passing this email message to your family and friends. Thank you.

RE: "Proprietary" internetworking protocols (was RE: The future will be easy to use )
by Pete Loshin 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Oops, sorry about the unfortunate juxtaposition of POTP with the SKIP thread. I didn't mean to imply anything more about POTP than that they were around in Boston in case anyone wanted to talk to them. My comments about "proprietary" internetworking protocols related to discussion of Sun's SKIP, not at all to POTP, whose protocol hasn't been published and won't be published if they don't get their patent. I was simply observing that Perry's comment: "...an internetworking protocol [e.g. SKIP] used by only one vendor gets nowhere." is not necessarily true, and pointed to SSL and NFS as counter-examples. -pl Phill wrote: >Both Netscape and Sun had a product that had a large number of seats.

CHRYSLER AWARD NOMINATION STATEMENT 9/15/98 12:30 PM

Tuesday 9/15/98 12:39 PM e-mail Ms Vikki Hardy Chrysler Award for Innovative Design c/o Bozell Advertising 1000 Town Center, 15th Floor Southfield, MI 48075-1241 248 262 8643 vhardy(a)detroit.bozell.com We are sending our submission by 1 e-mail 2 hardcopy 3 diskette with .htm and .txt files by priority certified mail. Best bill CHRYSLER AWARD NOMINATION STATEMENT 9/15/98 12:30 PM American forefathers drafted the Constitution and laws of our country shortly after having suffered injustice. Fresh in their minds were strategies used by their oppressors. Writers of the Constitution and laws anticipated ways to subvert our system. Therefore, our forefathers designed safeguards into our legal system to prevent future injustice. But these safeguards DONT appear to be working today. Morales and Payne designed a strategy using the National Security Agency [NSA], Sandia National Laboratories, the US Federal Court System, and publication on Internet to illustrate how the US government has deteriorated. Arthur Morales WAS a supervisor at Sandia Labs in 1991. Morales and Manuel Garcia organized a class action lawsuit on behalf of Hispanics against Sandia. Sandia settled Morales and Garcias lawsuit. Department of Energy acknowledged from Freedom of Information Act [FOIA] requests that as of December 31, 1995 Morales cost Sandia $567,137 in legal fees. Sandia retaliated against Morales. Morales sued Sandia in New Mexico District Court. Morales lost. William Payne wrote a technical report describing deficiencies NSAs cryptographic algorithms http://jya.com/da/whpda.htm. Sandia transferred Payne to break electronics locks for the Federal Bureau of Invesitgation [FBI]. Payne refused to do illegal work. http://www.jya.com/whp1.htm. Payne sued Sandia in Federal Court. Payne lost and court records were sealed. FBI agent Bernardo Perez led a class action lawsuit against the FBI for race discrimination against Hispanic FBI agents. http://www.usdoj.gov/osg/1995/w951482w.txt Perez won. Perez was assigned agent-in-charge of the FBI in Albuquerque for settlement. But Perez lost money. Morales and Payne learned that the FBI extorted an inexpensive from Perez by telling Perez that the FBI was GUARANTEED to win on appeal in Federal Circuit. With Perez and others knowledge of circuit courts, Morales and Payne appealed their respective cases pro se to the Tenth Circuit. In Paynes case Sandia failed to submit its Brief of the Appellees on time. Then falsified its certificate of service when Payne filed to remand. In Morales case Sandia submitted a deficient Brief of the Appellees which was returned but failed to serve Morales with its brief. Payne and Morales both won at the Tenth Circuit on technicalities. But judges awarded the wins to Sandia. All attempts by Morales and Payne to get copies of the docket for their respective Tenth Circuit cases failed. Therefore, Morales and Payne hatched a plan to get the dockets and expose government misconduct. Payne previously made FOIA requests to NSA for copies of messages and translations given to Iraq during the Iraq/Iran war, copies of Libyan messages intercepted by NSA, and NSA cryptographic algorithms Payne thought contained deficiencies. Morales and Payne sued NSA pro se for the documents. Lawsuit progress was broadcast on Internet through e-mail and http://www.aci.net/kalliste/speccoll.htm http://jya.com/whpfiles.htm And Payne wrote Black and White Test of Cryptographic Algorithms criticizing the US governments crypto contest. http://zolatimes.com. Morales and Payne FINALLY got copies of dockets from their respective cases from the Tenth Circuit using Internet as an innovative tool.
