s/n problems on this list
by Vladimir Z. Nuri 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I've posted on this subject many times in the past, and its something I like to brainstorm on. signal to noise problems on this list. generally, the moderator-specific approaches I find less palatable than techniques that can be automated. here are some more ideas for automated moderation techniques. 1. software called "grouplens" I've talked about here (search yahoo) has been used to rate articles. they found that there was a very high correlation between how long people spent reading articles and the "interesting" rating that they gave that article. hence, a proposal: cpunks have long advocated and hacked mailer programs to stick in crypto. how about sticking in a hack that tracks how long mail messages are being read, and send that info back to an auxilliary mailing list address. the list software keeps track of time spent reading articles and can allow people to screen the list based on the "most interesting articles". "send me only those articles that go over a threshhold of 500 combined human attention minutes". of course this can be messed up by hackers who try to skew the ratings. I would suggest a limit on the max time per article per person. 2. I like the idea of a system that keeps track of complaints against given users. it could keep track of the complaint/per age of every subscriber. e.g. hypothetical: LD gets 10 complaints per week, and TCM gets 30 per week on average, and it could allow people to screen the mail based on these numbers, such as a command "send me mail of all users below a 20 complaint/per week value". you could, for either of these approaches, have an "official screening value" in which the owner of the list adjusts these parameters to his liking. just more ideas. I like cpunks generally favor a technological fix that doesn't involve bottlenecks of individual moderator opinions. (2) would be pretty easy to implement inside existing mailing list software, at the majordomo side.

Re: RSA challenge: is it legal to try?

"Pecularities"? If anything, the peculiarities would have been within _US_ law, and not international law. As I understand it, most people cite the requirement that an invention patent must be applied-for BEFORE disclosure as a requirement for most international patents, which explained by RSA wasn't patented outside of the US. Alone, that would have denied non-US patents to RSA. However, such an explanation grandly ignores the fact that computer software (let alone mathematics in general) was not considered patentable ANYWHERE (?) before public-key systems made their appearance in 1976. It also ignores the strong likelihood that the reason for the Patent-Office policy change (done, apparently, without benefit of a corresponding law change) was because with public-key/RSA there was finally an example of software the government wished to deny to the average citizen, and the only mechanism (short of secrecy, which was broken) to do so was to patent it. I'm still waiting for an "innocent" explanation for the US patent office beginning to issue software patents. I don't think there is one. Jim Bell jimbell(a)pacifier.com

Hi: I seen your post in the group and thought you could be interested in this info. This mgs was posted in the misc.forsale grp under info manual. ??? FREE SATELLITE TV ??? *************************************************************************** ****** The secrets out about the New 18" DIGITAL SATELLITE SYSTEMS ******* *************************************************************************** The technology underground is an amazing place. The huge multi-national corporations developed the world's most sophisticated satellite-delivered television programming system,called DSS it rolled out in september 1994 and by april of 1995 it had been hacked. By autumn of 1995, Test access cards were being sold all over North America. The cards turn on all programming including pay-per-view-movies,blacked-out sports events and all other available channels. These test cards are now being used in other countries to get FREE USA PROGRAMMING on the DSS system. United States companies will not allow other countries to purchase our programming. In short companies are popping up selling these cards at a blistering rate. The cards are being sold for as low as 150.00 dollars in some areas, other companies offer two year warranties on thier cards.

Tapping the wire part is what's hard; the radio part (for analog cell phones) isn't that tough. That makes the "legitimate needs of law enforcement" (blech!) at some disadvantage compared to people who just want to have fun listening in on the radio. # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, +1-415-442-2215 stewarts(a)ix.netcom.com # You can get PGP outside the US at ftp.ox.ac.uk/pub/crypto/pgp # (If this is a mailing list, please Cc: me on replies.

Since when does >anybody talking on a *radio* have an expectation of privacy? OK, more precisely, the justification for cellphone eavesdropping being illegal and cordless phone eavesdropping not being illegal was that there's an expectation of privacy from cellphones ("they're from the Phone Company") but not from cordless (everybody with early cordless phones knew they could receive their neighbor's calls if they used the same channel.) >Listening in on normal cordless phones is also now illegal, as a >result of the Communication Assistance to Law Enforcement Act >(Digital Telephony). Good point. The latest word from Louis Freeh is that he's all gung-ho to investigate the CRIMINAL grandma&grandpa who were EAVESDROPPING on Newt's phone calls. Of course, if _he'd_ been eavesdropping on Newt's phone calls, or yours, it would have been the "legitimate needs of law enforcement" at work. # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, +1-415-442-2215 stewarts(a)ix.netcom.com # You can get PGP outside the US at ftp.ox.ac.uk/pub/crypto/pgp # (If this is a mailing list, please Cc: me on replies.
