Some times there are exceptions for costume balls, etc, but generally these laws are very selectively enforced. I seem to remember there were some prosecutions in the US in relation to the WTO protests and in London following the May Day protests. Unless there is a specific loophole for Muslim women's veils, I suppose they are technically in violation, but as I said, these laws are hardly ever invoked. If say, there were a rash of terrorist attacks involving veiled persons occured, there'd be crackdown. Peter Trei

Don't be fooled by the chirpy half-truths in the company press release, ... Utter rubbish. ... So Redmond owns the software you use and controls access to your data. It's for your benefit, after all; it's cheaper than owning it, and you do love a bargain, don't you? It's more secure too, we are told, because you communicate directly via a pre-encrypted client-to-client link in which you have no opportunity to stuff things up. Hell, you don't even know or have access to the key -- and what could be more secure than that? ... ... it's unfortunate that your data has to be stored on the M$ trusted network along with the software you use, but this could not be helped. Your PC no longer needs, or even has, a hard drive. It has, instead, a non-volatile ROM chip which identifies all the software you're eligible to be billed for using, the amount of time you've spent playing with it, and your credit details.

Microsofts new crypto patent
by Bo Elkjaer 28 Dec '00

28 Dec '00

United States Patent 6,163,841 Venkatesan , et al. December 19, 2000 Technique for producing privately authenticatable cryptographic signatures and for authenticating such signatures Abstract A technique for generating, for a given message to be signed, an authentic cryptographic signature that can be authenticated, by a recipient of the signed message, as having originated from a signor of the message; and appropriately authenticating such a signature. Specifically, this technique, given a message, such as, e.g., a numerical product copy identifier (83, 93), forms an authentic signature (87, 97), based on public-key cryptosystem, through use of generator value selected from points on an elliptic curve over a finite field. The authentic signature is generated using the generator value in conjunction with three keys; namely, a public key, a private key and a secret key, and thus substantially increases the security associated with cryptographic signatures generated through a conventional two-key public-key cryptosystem. A unique product copy indicia can be formed by concatenating the identifier, for a given product copy, with its corresponding authentic signature. During subsequent user installation of that copy to a computer, the user enters the indicia when prompted by execution of an installation program which, in turn, privately authenticates the signature contained in the indicia in order to continue or prematurely terminate the installation. Inventors: Venkatesan; Ramarathnam R. (Bellevue, WA); Montgomery; Peter L. (San Rafael, CA) Assignee: Microsoft Corporation (Redmond, WA) Appl. No.: 102851 Filed: June 23, 1998 Link: (May be wrapped into garbage.

New MLM Opportunity
by Todd 28 Dec '00

28 Dec '00

****************** Information about this email can be found at the bottom. ****************** Hi, my name is Todd Smith. Your email address was on a list of people that opted to receive emails about new MLM opportunities. I have one for you, and I hope it fits your needs. Let me first say that when I was deciding what email to send to talk about my MLM program, I decided against the standard email ad with a bunch of exclamation points and dollar signs. I thought that if I received one of those in my email, I would delete it as soon as I saw the title. So I thought you would appreciate a hand written intelligent email that has more facts than figures. The website is called Gold Club. If you are already signed up, you don't have to read any farther, and thanks for your time. Otherwise, I think you'll really like it. The idea of the site is that before you enter into an MLM, you should already have people in your downline. But you can't put people in your downline until you sign up, right? Well Gold Club isn't actually an MLM company. It's a free service that builds up a downline under you, so that when you decide to join one the 4 MLM companies that are registered with Gold Club, you will already have the people under you to begin making money. I'd also like to point out that I work as a computer programmer. This means that my mind is very logically oriented, and skeptical about anything without proof. After I joined, a bombarded the owners with every question and problem I could make up or find, but I was always given a good, satisfying answer. The point being I couldn't find anything wrong with the system and I really do think it will work. The best part of the program is, besides the fact that the whole thing is free, is Gold Club will automatically put people in your downline for you. That way you really do have to do nothing to build your downline, and therefore you do nothing to start making money in MLM's. I hope this short truthful email has done more to convince you than a long flashy one. If you want any more details, all will be explained at the site. Please, go there and look around, ask me anything you like, and have a nice day. http://www.gold-club.net/sponsor.asp?TS96321 ****************** Email Info: This email was sent to you because you chose to receive emails about MLM opportunities. If, in fact, you didn't want to receive emails about MLM opportunities, please accept our apologies and know that we'll never send you anything ever again. If you feel like reporting me for spamming, please realize that I got your email address from an opt-in list, which means that somehow your email was voluntarily put on the list. And although the return address is hotmail, I didn't use the hotmail mail server to send them. Thank you ******************

Single-file photons
by Secret Squirrel 28 Dec '00

28 Dec '00

Photons can now be emitted one at a time, an advance towards quantum computers and cryptography A tiny disc that emits light in an orderly procession of single photons, and with no background noise, has been created. The "photon turnstile" could ultimately transmit the keys to secret codes safely past prying eyes or help computer scientists exploit the strange laws of quantum mechanics. Researchers have long tried to develop devices that emit one photon at a time. In September, researchers reported that a single molecule could do the trick. But the material surrounding the molecule produced a lot of noise - an unwanted second photon popped out about 20% of the time. However, the new semiconductor disc, made by a team from the University of California, Santa Barbara, avoids this problem. "Our principle improvement is that we were able to remove this background," says applied physicist Atac Imamoglu. Quantum dot Imamoglu and colleagues embedded a "quantum dot" inside a 200-nanometer-thick disc of gallium arsenide. The dot is a dab of indium arsenide less than 50 nanometres across and 3 nanometres thick. They cooled the device to about 25 Kelvin and shone pulses of laser light on it. The light sent electrons cruising through the gallium arsenide. These left behind vacancies or "holes" that acted like positive charges floating through the disk. An electron-hole pair would quickly settle onto the quantum dot, where they would recombine to give off one photon of a particular wavelength. In the meantime, all the other electron-hole pairs would annihilate in ways that produce no light, or light of the wrong wavelength. In this way, the researchers obtained precisely one of the desired photons per laser pulse. Extraneous photons didn't crop up because the disk was so small, Imamoglu says. "The microdisc helps by reducing the volume of material that is excited and thereby reducing the background," he says. Keys and Q-bits A stream of single photons could safely transmit code keys because a spy would have to measure each photon. According to the laws of quantum mechanics, this would alter its state, says team member Christoph Milcher, now at the University of Bremen, in Germany. "You can send a key with single photons so that no-one else can detect it without you knowing," he says. Two photons might also be joined through a process called entanglement, Imamoglu says, to form a logic bit that can be 0, 1, or 0-and-1 at the same time. Such "q-bits" are essential for quantum computing. But currently, Imamoglu and colleagues capture only one in every 10,000 single-photon pulses. They hope to adjust the shape of their tiny device to quickly raise that to a more practical one in every 100.
