Spooky Post Office
by Nomen Nescio 04 Jan '01

04 Jan '01

I've recently moved, many, many miles from my old home, but within the same state. I did not however inform the post office of my new address, hoping to ditch the 2-3 lbs a week of junk mail and crap. I did inform most of the important services/places of the address change (credit card co's, bills, etc.) One magazine, I did forget to inform. The mag in question is the NRA's America's First Freedom, which spooks me even more... Among several other mails bearing my NEW address, last night, this magazine arrived at my NEW address, however it bore the OLD address. So somehow the post office was able to redirect the mail to my new address without the label on this magazine stating the new address! Again, if you move and inform the post office, your old-addressed mail arrives at your door with a yellow sticker with the new address. THIS WAS NOT the case here!!! I must say, I'm quite spooked by this! I have also seen this happen before with snail-mail spam where the address was mangled (wrong street, or wrong number, but same zip code) so I figured that the post office figured it out and got it to me since it was the same particular branch (same zip). But this is in a totally different zip code, about 50 miles away from my old residence. How the fuck did they do this? It's certainly means that addresses are snarfed and kept in a database, but further more, how is the post office delivery guy able to figure out which house to send it to without the explicit address on it? It's enough to make one very paranoid. [This was not an old issue of the 1st Freedom. It was the January 2001 issue and I hadn't received it, so it's not a question of it falling off the moving truck and having some kind soul put it in my mail box. It was recently mailed just after I moved!] I've had another (possibly unrelated) strange incident occur at this location. Shortly after moving in, I drove out to meet a friend for dinner. As I left the house, I noticed a rental van pull in and make a u-turn so he was parked exactly outside my house. Around this area, there are ample garages and driveways, so it's very unlikely to see anyone parked on the street. As soon as I pulled out of the drive way, the van followed for a while. Noticing this, I pulled off to the right, as if I was going to visit another house. The van was behind me and hesitated for about 10 seconds behind me, then drove off. He pulled over about a block infront of me. As I took off and passed him, I saw in my rear view mirror that he was shining a flashlight out of the right side - aiming it at the house which he now pulled infront of. As I passed him again, he followed again for a bit, and then made a turn. This guy was being way too obvious, so it's not a Fed or a spook (unless they want to be obvious.) I took this as a possible theif and beefed up house security... but this along with the mail incident is just bizzarre... Any ideas? (No, I'm not smoking crack or wearing tin foil hats.)

RE: Anglo-American communications studies

Central heating did not develop until well after the US and Britain split. There was little technology transfer, so it's not too suprising that the terminology is different. When I moved to Britain in the late 60's, central heating was still rare enough that it was noted in real estate listings. The Brits and other Europeans developed some rather odd devices to retrofit older houses.... 1. The Geyser (alt pro: geezer). A box attached to the wall in or near a shower, which provided instant hot water. Some were gas powered (in which case a balanced flue was fitted through a hole in the wall to the outside). Some were electric. Having several hundred watts of electricity in intimate contact with the water and metal piping of the shower was rather nervous making (saw many still in use in Scotland this summer). 2. The 'storage heater'. The CEGB (central electricity generating board) rates were far lower at night than during the day or evening. A storage heater was a metal box, typically 4' wide, 2.5 ft high, and about a foot deep, filled with electric elements and firebrick. During the night, the bricks would be heated electrically. By morning the box was a serious burn hazard, and radiating heat for the rest of the day as it slowly cooled. At my boarding school, we used to toss matches on the top of one and make bets as to which would be the first to light. Peter Trei

That is mildly encouraging but what about the 4th and 5th? Is he going to take the position that in effect we have a right to encrypt all we want but when so directed by a court or LE Agency we must surrender plaintext? I know this crap will be sneaking into multiple crime bills over the next few years. If it hasn't already. Mike

US Attorney General nominee is pro-privacy

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/15795.html US Attorney General nominee is pro-privacy By: Kevin Poulsen Posted: 04/01/2001 at 01:35 GMT To civil liberty groups, President-elect George W. Bush's pick for US attorney general is an ultra-right wing Christian conservative who fought abortion and gun control, and blocked the appointment of a black Missouri judge to the federal bench. But veteran cyber libertarians know John Ashcroft as something else: a once-fierce ally in the successful battle to unshackle encryption technology. As a US senator, Ashcroft was one of a handful of lawmakers who fought to tear down encryption export regulations -- the federal rules that kept strong security and privacy-protecting technology out of mainstream commercial products. Ashcroft's views put him in direct opposition to FBI director Louis Freeh, who argued for years that unrestricted encryption would allow criminals to thwart lawful government surveillance. <SNIP> -- ----------------------Kaos-Keraunos-Kybernetos--------------------------- + ^ + :Surveillance cameras|Passwords are like underwear.

Get Paid Just to Get E-Mail!
by Fenton420＠hotmail.com 04 Jan '01

04 Jan '01

Dear cypherpunks , Get Paid To GET E-mail! http://www.skybusiness.com/mer/paidemail.html Hello, fellow opportunist! I have found a wonderful, easy, FREE way to make money using the Internet. I'm sure you're used to receiving SPAM, those annoying advertisements that you didn't want for items that you would never want. Well, how would you like to be PAID for simply receiving e-mail advertisements? Sound to good to be true? Trust me, this is an opportunity you don't want to miss. There are several companies on the Internet that are paying users like you to receive targeted e-mails. Advertisers pay them to send the ads and they pay you to read them. This is completely FREE, you don't spend any money at any time. Most of these programs simply send the e-mail, you click on a link included in the message and your account is credited. You don't even need to read the ad if you don't want to. As an added benefit, most of these companies will ask you what you're interested in, so you receive ads of interest to you. You can use your existing e-mail account or make a new one specifically for this purpose, so you don't clutter your existing account. It only takes a few minutes a day to get through all the ads sent to you. The payout rates may seem small for these companies, but to really make money out of this opportunity, there is one more step. These companies will not only pay you to receive e-mail, they also pay you when someone you refer receives their advertisements. The key is referring as many people as possible. This may seem difficult, but most of the work has already been done for you. Every time you sign up for one of these programs, you will receive a unique referral address of a web site to send potential referrals to. When anyone signs up using your site address, your account is credited every time they receive an advertisement. Simply copy this e- mail, then either include a section with all your referral addresses or, if you know how to, build a small website with the addresses on it, like I did. Then send this e-mail out to those you think will appreciate a good money making opportunity. How ever you choose to do it, generate as many referrals as possible. This is the key to making real money. You get out of these programs what you put into them. Below you'll find the address to my website. There is a small description of what to do, then a table that has the program names, the amount of money you get per e-mail, the amount of money you get when a referral gets e-mail, the minimum balance that your account must be at before you receive a check and how often checks are sent. Simply click on each program name to go to the site to sign-up, sign-up for the programs and you will receive your unique referring address in your e-mail, then start referring. Don't forget to keep clicking on the links to credit your account in each advertisement. This is not a scam or a get-rich-quick scheme. This is a real opportunity that only takes a little effort and WILL put some extra cash in your pocket. You've got absolutely nothing to lose, so just give it a try. Best of luck referring!

Bush asks Freeh to stay at FBI, USA Today says January 4, 2001 Web posted at: 3:21 AM EST (0821 GMT) WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The incoming Bush administration has asked FBI Director Louis Freeh to remain on the job, USA Today reported Thursday, citing officials close to the situation. Freeh has told Federal Bureau of Investigation employees in an internal memo last month that he intends to complete his 10-year term that expires in 2003 and cannot be extended, USA Today said. Freeh declined to comment Wednesday, as did Bush transition officials, the newspaper said. Although he is an appointee of President Clinton, Freeh clashed with the president over questions about the transfer of FBI files to the White House. He also has differed with Attorney General Janet Reno's decision against launching an independent investigation of campaign finance irregularities involving Clinton and Vice President Al Gore.
