The text of the .sig, in either this or the 'classic' version, doesn't bother me. However, it's too long: The copyright notice is redundant since the Berne Convention, and ascii graphics in sig files ceased to be cool about the time disco died. Not many people use fixed width fonts to read mail, so I'll let the rest of you know that it's a crude representation of an armadillo. Why Jim would choose this creature as a personal totem is an interesting question. The armadillo is best known for it's stupidity, often demonstrated on Texas roads: ("hmm... a very big thing is bearing down on me at 60 mph. I'll deal with it by rolling into a ball...... SPLUUUP!" They are also the only known non-human carriers of leprosy. BTW Jim, you ought to read PJ O'Rourke's "Parliment of Whores". (this suggestion is not made in satire or irony; I honestly think you'd enjoy it :-) Peter Trei (who does not need a .sig but often #includes std-disclaimer.h) > ____________________________________________________________________ > > Legislators and Judges are the pimps of modern American society. > Police, lawyers, and reporters are their whores. > The people are their 'John's'.

DCSB: (One more time!) Steven Levy; How the Crypto Rebels Won
by R. A. Hettinga 13 Mar '01

13 Mar '01

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- [The Harvard Club is now "business casual". No more jackets and ties - -- while it lasts, anyway... --RAH] The Digital Commerce Society of Boston Presents (Again, as we were snowed out in March...) Steven Levy, Author, Senior Editor, _Newsweek_ Magazine "How the Crypto Rebels Won" Tuesday, April 3rd, 2000 12 - 2 PM The Downtown Harvard Club of Boston One Federal Street, Boston, MA How a group of outsiders envisioned a need for wide-spread cryptography and then took on two daunting missions: providing unprecedented tools to make this happen, and fighting the government for the right to distribute the tools. Steven Levy is a senior editor at Newsweek and author of CRYPTO: HOW THE CODE REBELS BEAT THE GOVERNMENT, SAVING PRIVACY IN THE DIGITAL AGE. He is also author of four other books including HACKERS, ARTIFICIAL LIFE, INSANELY GREAT, and THE UNICORN'S SECRET, and have contributed to many other publications. [NOTE: Because of the cancellation of this presentation in March due to a blizzard, we have rescheduled it to April 3rd. The newly revised schedule for future DCSB talks is included below, and all reservations for the snowed-out March meeting will be honored. The last time a meeting was cancelled for snow was for former NSA Counsel Stewart Baker's April Fool's day talk a few years ago on roughly same topic. Of course, as the old John Birch pamphlet used to howl, "None Dare Call It Conspiracy"... ;-) --RAH] This meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston will be held on Tuesday, April 3rd, 2000, from 12pm - 2pm at the Downtown Branch of the Harvard Club of Boston, on One Federal Street. The price for lunch is $35.00. This price includes lunch, room rental, A/V hardware if necessary, and the speakers' lunch. The Harvard Club has relaxed its dress code, which is now "business casual", meaning no sneakers or jeans. Fair warning: since we purchase these luncheons in advance, we will be unable to refund the price of your meal if the Club finds you in violation of what's left of its dress code. We need to receive a company check, or money order, (or, if we *really* know you, a personal check) payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", by Saturday, March 31st, or you won't be on the list for lunch. Checks payable to anyone else but The Harvard Club of Boston will have to be sent back. If you sent us a check for the cancelled March meeting, we still have it, and you were bcc'd with an asterisk (*) next to your name. If you were bcc'd *without* an asterisk, we have your reservation, but no check. You have time to do that, now... Checks should be sent to Robert Hettinga, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02131. Again, they *must* be made payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", in the amount of $35.00. Please include your e-mail address so that we can send you a confirmation If anyone has questions, or has a problem with these arrangements (we've had to work with glacial A/P departments more than once, for instance), please let us know via e-mail, and we'll see if we can work something out. Upcoming speakers for DCSB are: May 1st Scott Moskowitz Watermarking and Bluespike TBA Jean Camp Trust and Digital Commerce As you can see, :-), we are actively searching for future speakers. If you are in Boston on the first Tuesday of the month, are a principal in digital commerce, and would like to make a presentation to the Society, please send e-mail to the DCSB Program Committee, care of Robert Hettinga, <mailto: rah(a)shipwright.com>. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 7.0 iQEVAwUBOq4wDMUCGwxmWcHhAQHjjwf/WjEa8vo0jaAFlCtxfZiJD5tb6WqsPrfO C964I/bWg/qhBRxVQVDgYFrrBya89WDVX+Wf1jmgiVXa4GUL5jgRQe+/ahPIwvb7 4dB8RZ4KELek04pD6N1jto1EF6YdIs7XBmN2IPFRtL82FrayKTuFvfEINseJYZDh r71fhx+a8tDbC4pFH0JMtSdqDFCDnjmQlRo+b/Bkglg1l8KMVGbObzg1jxSJ1hua tajyFnLDoGKFVvrS8dgIYcdAfar7J6uKht1UZtzMHYV5S0IKldK4jwxNpBwjK5kN IAWWyE78rpylM/kG2puiIDje52CW7Uc3fADCXcZHkCJ+Wshb7KRvkQ== =dA0Z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ----------------- R.

Find Passive Candidates with AIRS
by seminars＠recruitcenter.net 13 Mar '01

13 Mar '01

Hello, Job posting on the Internet is an important part of recruiting - but by focusing on job seekers and career sites you only reach a fraction of the people on the Net. In fact, less than 10 percent of the Internet audience ever reads job ads and an even smaller percentage will ever post their resume on a job board. And competition for this small basket of job seekers is fierce. AIRS (Advanced Internet Recruitment Strategies) takes you past the career sites to find millions of passive candidates hidden inside directories, databases and the Web servers of competitors and source companies on the Net. ***************************** ABOUT AIRS AIRS is the global leader in Internet recruitment training and information services, specializing in competitive intelligence and powerful cost-reducing information solutions for the recruitment industry. AIRS Training, Media, Publications and Tools have helped over 20,000 clients in high-growth companies define their active sourcing strategies via the Web and over half of the companies in the Fortune 100 have attended AIRS training. Now AIRS is leading the next generation of e-recruitment with a new approach and a new process that produces startling results in a fraction of the time recruiters and researchers are spending today. ***************************** AIRS SEMINARS AND TOOLS AIRS SEARCH LAB is devoted to searching the Web for passive candidates and the majority of class time is focused on hands-on candidate searching. No other training course focuses on actual results - participants learn how to find candidates on the Net and leave the training with scores of contacts that can be immediately used on the job. If you've been reading The Wall Street Journal, Fast Company magazine or following the posts in the Electronic Recruitment Exchange, you've heard the buzz about AIRS Search Lab AIRS CERTIFICATION is a Web-based certification program. You can sign up and be certified in hours from your own desktop - even if you haven't been to an AIRS seminar in a year or two. AIRS e-Certification includes eight, easy-to-use interactive study modules that navigate you through new materials only found in AIRS Search Lab - and prepare you to take the exam. AIRS SEARCHSTATION is a state-of-the-art passive candidate finder, built on the methodologies developed and refined through research and real-market testing by AIRS. SearchStation automates the manual search processes taught in AIRS seminars to help you find candidate information - resumes, homepages, contact information - in hidden directories and archives all over the Net. ***************************** FOR MORE INFORMATION If you have any questions or would like further information, please call me at 888-999-8844 or e-mail us at info(a)recruitcenter.net Lisa Mazzilli Director of Sales 888-999-8844 lmazzilli(a)recruitcenter.net AIRS respects your online time and Internet privacy.
