Gargoyling, harassment, free speech in Little 'Nam
by Blank Frank 25 Jan '01

25 Jan '01

Thursday, January 25, 2001 | Print this story Free Speech Limits Tested in Little Saigon A judge will decide whether videotaping of clients at 'communist' doctor's office is harassment or political protest. By MAI TRAN, Times Staff Writer For the last two months, an anti-Communist demonstrator has been videotaping patients as they enter the offices of a prominent Little Saigon doctor whom he considers a communist for supporting normalized trade with Vietnam. The protest has sparked a legal battle over where to draw the line between free speech and privacy rights at a time when anti-Communist protesters are increasingly turning to these tactics. An Orange County judge last week temporarily barred the demonstrator, Duc Tran, from standing within 100 yards of the medical clinic. He is expected to rule Feb. 3 whether Tran's protest, which also includes shouting insults at patients and holding signs, amounts to harassment. "He'd follow them around with his video camera, screaming and cursing," said Edward Susolik, an attorney for doctor Co Pham. "He was highly intimidating." This is not the first time protesters have used cameras as part of their campaigns. Westminster City Councilman Tony Lam's restaurant was the target of anti-Communist protesters with video equipment two years ago over what they considered his lack of support for the their cause. <snip> http://www.latimes.com/editions/orange/20010125/t000007231.html

Some other math/crypto sci-fi
by Jim Choate 25 Jan '01

25 Jan '01

9 Billion Names of God Schismatrix (I liked the killer butterflies and vagina doors myself) Damian (movie) Pi (movie) The Code (movie) Stigmata (movie) Sherlock Homes (remember the dancing men?) And probably the best crypto/code/conspiricy fiction ever written, Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco. After thinking about this I realize there is much more crypto/code/conspiracy in horror/evil/demon/kabala than sci-fi... ____________________________________________________________________ Before a larger group can see the virtue of an idea, a smaller group must first understand it.

Closing in on Lori Banks' son
by Blank Frank 25 Jan '01

25 Jan '01

Ms Banks has confessed that her son: * manufactures and distributes criminal DOS tools * uses them against commercial establishments, probably across state lines * has broken into other computers, probably inserted and deleted information * has used crypto in the commission of these crimes We are sure Ms. Banks will let our officers examine her son's computer without the warrant she has supported. When are you home, Ms. Banks? Are there any firearms in the house?

Hi.
by Lori Banks 25 Jan '01

25 Jan '01

I just read an interesting email that you sent concerning cracking .pwl files. I have a need to crack a .pwl file, but I don't know how to make that program work. I'm really not computer literate (if you can't tell). I am a concerned parent that has stumbled upon information that is not good regarding my teen and the Internet. Could you help me find out what these passwords are or how to work that program? I downloaded some sort of password pwl program and it showed 17 passwords, but they are encrypted. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mrs. Banks

Spam attempting Paypal scam
by Bill Stewart 25 Jan '01

25 Jan '01

The cypherpunks and coderpunks lists just received spam from "Betty Hill" saying you've just been sent $200. Simply click <a href=http://paypalregistration.cjb.net/>http://www.PayPal.com/links/uni</a> and complete the one-page registration form to claim your money. CJB.net is a free URL redirection service - it would have pointed off to somewhere (presumably a moving target) to snarf up some Paypal account information and any other data it could. The anonymizer couldn't display it, either because it's closed down or just one of those things that the Anonymizer can't grok, but it is an interesting scam. Thanks!
