It didn't mention Arafat You're confusing two reports. FG wrote about *private citizens* calling for a whack via newspaper ad, which pisses off Israel the Govt as much as the Arizonans sniping immigrants on their own. Or taking out an ad calling for the whacking of Vincente Fox, fer instance. Recently, both Israel and the Palestinians gave lists of people they want to whack/imprison to the CIA (who is playing fnord nanny). These latter are official "gummint" actions. That's what you read about most recently. ....... PS: Lets hope "Mr. Falun Gong" <balun_bong(a)cnnic.cn> amuses the folks at cnnic.cn....

Open 802.11b wireless access points and remailers
by gbroiles＠speakeasy.org 26 Jul '01

26 Jul '01

Several years ago, there was discussion on the list about creating headless or throwaway remailers (likely hidden in some institution where they could get power and net access for a long time until they were discovered)- I didn't spend a lot of time thinking about that, because I thought that the necessary Ethernet (or other network) connection which would be made between the hidden machine and the host network would make it easy enough to detect and disable that it wasn't a productive direction for exploration. (There are also any number of legal issues related to trespass, unauthorized network use, etc., which may apply.) However, that limitation may be withering away, with the spread of 802.11b (or similar) wireless networks - the attached email describes a Seattle-area system apparently set up by Microsoft in a shopping mall providing free network access to people within the reach of its radio units. An old laptop, a solar panel, some auxiliary batteries, and an 802.11 network card might be able to stay online for a long, long time in that sort of environment. This also sounds like a good way to get casual, anonymous network access to upload or download email - once upon a time, bad people who wanted to send forbidden emails or browse hidden sites did that by going to public terminals in libraries or web cafes or [...] - now perhaps they'll do that at Starbucks or the mall, either for free or having paid cash for short-term access via 802.11b wireless. And, if you're the sort that's worried about permission, etc., the nice thing is that these networks are explicitly intended for the use of guests on the premises, so at least the first level of concerns about trespass or unauthorized use are addressed. These days, remailers aren't as exciting as they once were - perhaps the next important tools are going to be Freenet or Mojo Nation nodes - but the combination of wireless access plus anonymous access provides an interesting opportunity for network participants which are physically within a jurisdiction yet unavailable for punishment. >To: seasigi-list(a)eskimo.com >Cc: decentralization(a)yahoogroups.com >From: Todd Boyle <tboyle(a)rosehill.net> >Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2001 15:24:14 +0200 >Subject: [decentralization] Free wireless access at Crossroads > >Somehow I view this with the same sense of foreboding as the >spread of two different species of africanized honeybees. > >In business school we were taught that the incumbent in a >market generally wants to wait for upstarts to expend their >capital to deploy in specific places then, go to those >places and compete.

Adobe, EFF Call for Dmitry Release
by John Young 26 Jul '01

26 Jul '01

>From a press release today: --- Adobe Systems Incorporated and the Electronic Frontier Foundation today jointly recommend the release of Russian programmer Dmitry Sklyarov from federal custody. Adobe is also withdrawing its support for the criminal complaint against Dmitry Sklyarov. "We strongly support the DMCA and the enforcement of copyright protection of digital content," said Colleen Pouliot, Senior Vice President and General Counsel for Adobe. "However, the prosecution of this individual in this particular case is not conducive to the best interests of any of the parties involved or the industry. ElcomSoft's Advanced eBook Processor software is no longer available in the United States, and from that perspective the DMCA worked. Adobe will continue to protect its copyright interests and those of its customers." --

Nevertheless, I'm getting tired of beating the crap out of Jimbo. There's no challenge any more; it's just too darned easy. So I think I'll back off for a while and just give him the occasional bloody nose along with Tim, Declan, Petro and a host of others. We return you to our regular programming, now in progress.
