America needs therapy
by Steve Schear 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

Its angering how much lip service though little progress has been made since 1973 on freeing America from her chemical dependence on petroleum in general and mid-east oil specifically. If the U.S. had no direct economic interests in the mid-east would it be propping up the governments of Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, or contending with Iran and Iraq, etc? More likely our response to problems in the area would be similar to our involvement in West Africa. This dependance has made us little more than oil junkies and you know that junkies will do whatever it takes to get their next fix. If America wants to break this cycle of state violence and co-dependency it needs to get energy therapy in a hurry. steve

The current Capability-based operating system project is EROS, the Extremely Reliable Operating System, www.eros-os.org (I think it's .org. You can't just look for www.eros.com for obvious reasons:-) I know it was active a year ago; not sure what they've done lately, but the last I heard, their ringleader was at a university professorship, so there may be grad students developing it some more, and they were looking at making it microkernel-based. One of the other well-known capability-based systems was KeyKOS; some of the main folks from that are at Agorics.com. >And let's put things in perspective.

There are three or four main kinds of attacks/failures for the domain system - - Failures/Attacks on the servers themselves - Attacks on the data transmission - various technical attacks such as spoofing DNS requests, adding extra records to responses, etc. DNSSEC and similar kinds of authentication are important for preventing these. - Attacks on the data, e.g. forged change requests - that's another very strong reason for authentication technology, whether it's PGP or dumb passwords. - Social engineering attacks on the system, such as UDRP abuse by trademark holders trying to reverse-cybersquat, as well as cybersquatting abuses, and delaying the extra TLDs. James Love <love(a)cptech.org> suggests: >Can we spell, mission creep? Depends on what you think their original mission was :-) If your initial goal is World Domination, mission creep's no problem...

Stupid Congress Tricks: anti-terror bills target cash
by Declan McCullagh 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

From one of the anti-terror bills said to be a sure bet to pass both chambers. Typos mine. --Declan --- If a financial institution... reports a suspicious transaction to a government agency the financial institution, director, officer, employee, or agent may not notify any person involved in that transaction that the transaction has been reported... Any financial institution that makes a voluntary disclosure of any possible violation of law or regulation to a government agency.... shall not be liable... for such disclosure or for any failure to provide notice of such disclosure to the person who is the subject of such disclosure... Whoever... knowingly conceals more than $10,000 in currency or other monetary instruments on his or her person... shall be guilty of a currency smuggling offense (and) shall be imprisoned for not more than 5 years. A person asserting an innocent owner defense under section 983(d) to the forfeiture of curency... must... be a bona fide purchaser... and... establish that such person took all reasonable steps to determine the source of the currency, monetary instruments, or funds; or to verify that the currency, monetary instruments, or funds were not derived from illegal activity Upon a showing by the property owner by a preponderence of the evidence that the currency or monetary instruments involved in the offense giving rise to the forfeiture were derived from a legitimate source and were intended for a lawful purpose, the court shall reduce the forfeiture to the maximum amount that is not grossly disproportional to the gravity of the offense...

business proposal

Dear Sir or Madam, As your company is an Internet provider and, accordingly, you have a large audience, we thought fit to offer you our patented solutions. They will allow you to get additional profit from your audience. Today the idea of renting software is very popular, but existing solutions in this field requires additional spending and conditions (broadband communication lines for clients, a growing traffic of servers, etc.). One of our inventions allows eliminating these problems. A METHOD FOR RENTING SOFTWARE AND OTHER ELECTRONIC DATA (audio, video, etc.) allows a user to use software and other electronic data in exchange for processing advertising information. A fee for use of software (or audio/video files) will be paid to its owner by the advertiser that provides advertisements to a user. This method does not require a permanent connection to a remote resource, which extends a range of software. The novelty of this invention consists in the method of providing advertising information to a user and the method of account settlements between advertisers and owners of software (or audio/video files). This method allows creating with minimal spending a center for distribution of software and other electronic data and attracting a great amount of software developers and users. This will increase the amount of advertising information provided for processing and ensure its targeted delivery. A METHOD FOR A DEFERRED INFORMATION RETRIEVAL AND DISPLAYING complements the above-described method. This method erases the distinction between information processing online and offline and allows a user not to interrupt his or her surfing on the Internet to view additional information using found links. Besides, this method optimizes the process of information retrieval from remote resources. This will increase the amount and the quality of processing advertising information. As you have a big audience of users, you can apply these two solutions to develop a new kind of business (rental). Respectfully, Andre Lubimov mailto: info(a)propnewidea.com
