Coding-Export Limits Opposed
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The New York Times, November 9, 1995, p. D4. Coding-Export Limits Opposed The political right has joined the opposition to the Clinton Administration's proposed restriction on the export of data-coding systems. A group of 12 conservative organizations -- including the National Rifle Association, Americans for Tax Reform and the Competitive Enterprise Institute -- sent a letter yesterday to House Speaker Newt Gingrich protesting Administration efforts to limit the export of cryptographic software and hardware. Calling the proposal anti-consumer, anti-business and anti-progress, the groups urged Mr. Gingrich to support the relaxation of export controls. "The Administration's approach is the wrong policy for today's marketplace," the letter stated. The letter to Mr. Gingrich followed one sent on Tuesday to Vice President Al Gore from 37 corporate and publicpolicy groups, including the Microsoft Corporation and America Online Inc. The letter to Mr. Gore opposed Administration efforts to strike a compromise that would limit the strength of encryption software exports and require an escrowed code-key system, which would contain trapdoor access for American law enforcement agencies.

Pegasus Mail 2.20
by Scott Staedeli 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The new beta release of Pegasus Mail (one of the better e-mail apps available) has a new feature: -------------------------------------------------------------- Runtime-loadable encryptor/decryptor modules for Pegasus Mail. Pegasus Mail System, Copyright (c) 1990-95, David Harris, All Rights Reserved -------------------------------------------------------------- The hot topic on everyone's lips is "privacy". And, as usual, the computer industry is in the process of confusing and disrupting the issue beyond recognition... We have factions all over the place each arguing passionately for its own most beloved encryption scheme, and some of the rhetoric is getting pretty heated. Add to the proliferation of interests the USA's ridiculous export laws on encryptors and the sum is trouble. As far as I can tell, encryption is going through what seems to be an industry-standard cycle of chaos: everyone suddenly realises there's a lack/opportunity/need and rushes to promote the idea they like best; a small war develops during which the users and peripheral developers are left bemused and bewildered amongst the welter of extravagant claims and counter-claims, then eventually (usually after two or three years of total pandemonium) the group with the most clout (although not necessarily the best product) will win out and become "the standard". I've been through this rat race several times and have no desire whatever to go through it again; on the other hand, my USERS have very legitimate concerns about privacy. So what do I do? Easy - I pass the buck. WinPMail v2.2 and later supports third-party, runtime loadable modules to handle encryption and decryption of mail. A special mechanism has been defined that allows Pegasus Mail to detect that a third party encryptor has been used and to determine whether the matching decryptor is available on the system. The built-in encryptor will remain available for those sites who only need moderate levels of message security. WinPMail will define an open interface for third-party encryptors and it is then up to other people to write the code. What I envisage actually happening is people writing "shell interfaces" for WinPMail - i.e., modules that take the calls I make and translate them into calls to other programs, such as PGP or whatever, returning the result. Let the games begin. --scottst@ionet.net------http://www.ionet.net/~scottst-- >~<^xXx | "The Internet is simply a means of xX # | communication.

by mike＠aol.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

INCREASE YOUR ENERGY LEVEL & FIRM UP WITHOUT GIVING UP THE FOOD YOU LOVE! All Natural Energizer Reduce Sugar Cravings Burn the Fat While You Keep the Muscle Eat the Foods You Love Preferred by Fitness Experts 100% Safe and Natural AN INCREDIBLE NUTRITIONAL BREAKTHROUGH! I know what you're thinking. I felt the same way at first.but I found that there is finally a way to trim down and shed unwanted fat without all the hassles of a diet and strenuous exercise. Yes, theres actually a way to firm up without giving up the food you love. And its so easy! I just take one Thermo-Lift capsule twice a dayand thats it! Sure, exercise and daily activity will contribute to your results, but theyre not required! And just thinkno messy powders or mixes. No starvation. No rationing your food by the ounce. Thermo-Lift improves your metabolism so your body burns the excess fat! I actually noticed my clothes fitting better before I noticed the pounds coming off! METABOLISM IS THE KEY Anyone who has struggled to lose weight can tell you diets alone don't work! Thats because your size, or your weight, has more to do with your metabolism than what you eat. Changes International has 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 body fat and less on stored proteins. STOP THE YO-YO CYCLE! On a typical diet, up to 30% of lost weight is muscle. Losing muscle lowers your metabolic rate and slows the burning of calories. This lower metabolic rate also makes it hard to keep lost pounds from creeping back. Result: the Yo-Yo syndrome! You know, up and downup and down. After each lose-gain cycle the proportion of fat actually increases! To break this vicious cycle, it is important to lose only fat while maintaining or even increasing muscle! Our unique formula is a specialized combination of herbs and botanicals coupled with the best source of chromium available. Patented Chromium Picolinate, a bio-active chromium with clinically proven benefits, is vital to good health and is essential for the effective functioning of insulin. Studies have shown chromium nutrition to be an effective part of LONG-TERM fat loss programs! NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED Three million readers of Cosmopolitan read a discussion of Chromium Picolinate's value for dieters under the headline, "A Miracle Mineral?". The cholesterol-reducing effect of Chromium Picolinate was highlighted in Ladies Home Journal. Longevity magazine has praised it as a safe alternative to anabolic steroids. A large number of publications for athletes and health food shoppers have also run feature articles on Chromium Picolinate, including: Prevention, Todays Living, Total Health and Muscular Development. HERES MORE 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 Thermo-Lift are effective. Without changing dietary or exercise habits over a 6-week period, subjects in separate studies lost an average of 23% body fat or approximately 4.4 pounds of fat, and increased lean body mass by 1.5 pounds. 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. WHATS IN THERMO-LIFT? Chromium Picolinate, Bee Pollen, Astralagus, Licorice Root, Ginger Root, Rehmannia Root, Siberian Ginseng, Ma Huang Extract, Gotu Kola, Bladderwrack, White Willow Bark, Guarana Extract and Reishi Mushroom. All ingredients are formulated and synergistically blended to be both 100% safe and effective. Thermo-Lift is manufactured and bottled by a 25 year-old, pharmaceutical company and all FDA standards have been met or exceeded. THE ENERGIZERS Siberian Ginseng: Good source of energy and endurance.

Rehmannia Root: Used to treat anemia, fatigue, and to promote the healing of bones. Astralagus: Acts as a tonic to protect the immune system and increases metabolism.

In just 18 months, I have been able to lose 212 pounds and over 52 inches over my entire body! I have a non-functioning thyroid and for years have fought a losing battle with a bad weight problem. Then I found Thermo-Lift This product has greatly enriched my life and my health. I wish everybody could feel as good as I feel. I'm a lot more active and able to play with my family.

At 180 pounds, I was very unhappy and depressed. I felt very insecure about myself and really didn't like to go outside the house. Then I found Thermo-Lift and what a difference it has made in my life! Thank you Thermo-Lift for changing my life and making me feel complete." Misty went from 180 pounds to 110 pounds in only 5 months. Before and after pictures available! "I have been examined by my doctor and my weight loss has blown his mind! People that I used to work with, and even some family members, have trouble recognizing me. I wish everyone that is overweight could be sent my way so that I could talk to them. Maybe I could be of help, since Ive lost 150 pounds so far." Kenny went from 350 pounds to 200 pounds. Before and after pictures available! "I started taking Thermo-Lift March 1st of this year. My sister just kept after me. I felt happy eating, and did not want to change my life, so I didn't. I just took Thermo-Lift and kept eating. I noticed my clothes getting looser on me, but I haven't kept a scale in my house for over ten years. The middle of May, I found a commercial scale and weighed myself. I had lost 50 pounds, in just 2 1/2 months! I celebrated by buying myself a new pair of jeans. I went from a size 48 waist to a size 42! The best part is I am a non insulin-dependent diabetic and was taking 10 mg of diabeta every day to control my blood sugar. I monitor my blood sugar myself, and with Thermo-Lift my sugar level went below 70 for the first time in years. My doctor has now taken me off my medication, and Thermo-Lift is keeping up very good. I still watch it closely, but I hate to be chemically dependent like that. I thank my sister every week for turning me on to Thermo-Lift." Bernie has lost 60 pounds so far and is still going!
