CDR: online copy of Vinge's True Names
by Wei Dai 30 Nov '00

30 Nov '00

There is an online copy of Vernor Vinge's novel True Names at http://www.neoisp.org/macroscope/vinge/vernor/true_names/truename.htm. I don't know who put it up, but I found it by a doing a Google search for '"true names" "just barely possible"'.

True Names, well formatted (i.e. not HTML)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Perhaps as a combination of my anal-retentive nature and boredom, or just because I hate reading HTML-formatted text, I have gone through a LaTeX formatting of True Names.

Everything is available from either of http://positron.mit.edu/pub/truename ftp://positron.mit.edu/pub/truename LaTeX source and dvi output is available in the files tru_aftw.tar.gz and truename.tar.gz. - -- Riad Wahby rsw(a)mit.edu MIT VI-2/A 2002 5105 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6JrXBiHor6RkxxqYRArbBAKCoPRLiu5xH4DRkkc904vIIXUdBDwCfW1xx jaPhCL3mOiOJAWTjORJRraY= =lFln -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

re: Imagine
by Bill Stewart 30 Nov '00

30 Nov '00

At 11:04 AM 11/29/00 -0800, Steve Schear wrote a message that was in some HTML format that Eudora badly choked over when trying to reply. It was possible to save it with all the random font change garbage and funny characters, but not to just send a text reply. >> 1. Imagine that we read of an election occurring anywhere in the >> third world in which the self-declared winner was the son of the former >> prime minister and that former prime minister was himself the former >> head of that nation's secret police (CIA). Steve, or whoever The Blue Writer is, says "Correction. He was declared the winner by the fact that he has received 271 of the needed 270 electoral votes." Bush hasn't received them. Not only have the Electors not voted yet, but Florida hasn't selected their electors yet. They're still haggling about whether the votes should all be counted, and the Republicans have done a good job of preventing any recounts from being finished (or used), to the extent of organizing riots outside the Miami/Dade election office. They're also trying to decide what to do about the 19000 double-punch ballots (probably unfixable), and the 15000 absentee ballot applications that were allegedly criminally altered by the Republicans (10000 were voted for Bush, 5000 for Gore). Then there were the 12000 mainly black voters whose registrations were disqualified incorrectly because they were allegedly felons, based on a database provided by a company whose parent company gave a six-figure contribution to the Republican Party - about 8000 of those people got back on the voter rolls, and probably not all of the other 4000 would have voted, but they were much more likely to have voted Democrat. I'm not saying the double-punched ballots were Republican fraud; it looks a lot more like Democrat incompetence in the ballot design, though it's been suggested that they could also have been from Democrat attempts at fraud (punch a spike through the Gore hole, and it won't invalidate any ballots already marked for Gore, but will invalidate any ballots voting for other candidates.) The "bunch of elementary school kids had no trouble" press release is fun, but bogus. If the teacher had told the kids "Vote for Gore and Lieberman" instead of "Vote for Gore", they'd have been much more likely to make a mistake. Thanks!

No thank you. I think you can answer that for yourself. After all, another Freedom beta test nym has been posting to cypherpunks without the tagline for a couple of days. Oblivious.

If the latter, my loathing of Freedom has just increased substantially -- pay $50 for some crummy nyms and then be forced to carry ZKS advertising to boot? No thank you.
