My point is brief. The reason I am writing to you is that I am overwhelmed with Leads. I would like to find just a few quality people to work with who have the desire to make six-figure results so that I can help them get started. I will not sell to anyone, nor will I do any convincing, and neither will you. If you would like more information, just say the words (words=GPG in the subject line of your return email) and I'll email a free, helpful file that will give you more information. Sincerely, Dobbin PS - Yes, I do read all your responses and I'll handle each one personally. Note: To comply with all Federal and State Laws, the following information is included.

Well since it looks like its a valid converstation peace here, I might as well give ya my 2 bits worth. >>http://www.ourfirsttime.com >> >>aww... ain't 'dat sweet.... >> > >I'd appreciate it more if I hadn't been spammed twice already by >self-proclaimed born-again Christians attempting to mobilize people >against those two kids... Or by one of the weaselly marketers in a while. Think of it. You creat a site based on a recent headline making Internet first <the women who had a child online>. Then you spam the shit out of everyone faking like your the oposition. You don't get nailed for spamming you give your opisition a black eye you artificially create a media blitz, since the news runs to cover this confrontation between the relegious right and the new internet morality. You get about a billion hits you add one or two click through adds or some other such thing to the web page Here comes the big day Bingo, a quick 30,000$ in your bank account. You sell the rights to porn companies to include in their feeds since there is so much product recognition. ;) smart little bastard not that I am saying that is what is going on. not that im cynical or anything....

John Gilmore and the Great Internet Snake Drive
by Robert Hettinga 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Congrats to Mr. Gilmore, EFF, et. al. for a very impressive DES crack. It seems that Gilmore and Moore's Law have just turned the once-respected DES into cryptographic snake-oil. He keeps hurting snakes like that, he's gonna get himself canonized. ;-). Seriously. Many thanks to Mr. Gilmore for proving, once again, that lobbying is pointless, and that physics is not optional. Outstanding. Marvellous. Cheers, Bob Hettinga -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP for Personal Privacy 5.5.5 iQEVAwUBNa+x3cUCGwxmWcHhAQFZAQgArKCN418IA1MXwfpXeJ4IF93j9f3G3skH OotWP5dcoHOaUvbgTcOWP9YBAj77jzaazrtfK3wJD634ehLbf5N+gzmBHQVnXtXR Vf/JMe24EyI3xCqvRptSTtrik8d+oi3Wy7ZZEwBzLPd0A+XE4LdsClgE2C4ns3ZK Lq12mUmRQaZvc4++oakIAOT+Llx9TnnUHYqVMSjDT8QJoJ7vEFBEqcOea1Qzk1u9 leZlyrLs1ivbhcthXNBOyhN6RTwJgRyF3nFxpl/uY0tEvNvgFl+/aZZTJkwvvhmm 0MTSfzFfy9I+7BT5FD1iFC+i8JAVd4CDeI+9I6c6/LCAppfrKy5FBg== =Zeyp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----------------- Robert A.

Re: ZDTV and CNN coverage of DES Cracker

Hays" <@> >Subject: Re: ZDTV and CNN coverage of DES Cracker >In-Reply-To: <199807180011.RAA02044(a)toad.com> > >At 05:11 PM 7/17/98 -0700, you wrote: >>ZDTV will have me on the 8PM news tonight, and Barry Steinhardt on >>their "Silicon Spin" program today. >> >>CNN took pictures earlier today, I don't know when they'll use them. >> > > Congratulations to you and the EFF. I caught some of Silicon Spin. Everyone seemed to agree that DES was weak and the government is going about things all wrong. But CNN doesn't get it. > >To paraphrase: >"A popular method of scrambling data was dealt a blow today... by a specially built cracking machine... a BANKER was quoted as admonishing these efforts as reckless for it will only benefit _criminals_." > > I don't remember it verbatim but I remember the impression I got from CNN. Now, this was only a news brief, not a report or a panel, but it illustrates the ignorance (or bias) of big media. > > They never said "encryption". Instead referring to it as "method of scrambling data". Encryption is a geeky Big Word that CNN thinks normal people won't know. They completely ignored the social and political implications of cracking DES. Using encryption to secure your correspondence, for authentication, or to protect Freedom and Liberty are geeky Big Concepts that CNN thinks normal people won't understand. > > Now I don't expect an in-depth report on a complex issue in thirty seconds. But to completely ignore the real issues and give us a half assed uncited falsehood? Did anyone see any good coverage of the DES crack on CNN, ABC, NBC or any other big corporate news program? > >
