CDR: Hushmail>>Email Portal (got Flustered...)
by Wilfred L. Guerin 04 Nov '00

04 Nov '00

Greetings All, I just got flustered with HushCom not being able to develop quality code or systems (HushMail.com/etc) and hacked up a simple applet that will Get all of your hushmail content (recursive on all folders and messages) and pipe them transparently to your preferred local mail server and account. (If local mail host, security is retained. -- as if there is any to begin with.) In short, its a merger of basic smtp and a hacked version of the most recent hush client. -- I simply got aggrivated with their persistant failures and inability to implement basic components. Only thing not covered is the getting of attachments and sub-messages, which is more effective by hand. All internal variables, data, etc, are otherwise included in header or content. (Incl keys) Only requirements are fixing browser security to allow multiple server contact (applet host, hushmail.com, mail server ) and if you use a local mail server, no compromise of data security. (localhost) Works fine for my accounts, should be ok for everything. Please email me directly for url or more info/code/etc... ("Wilfred(a)Cryogen.com")Only took a few minutes, and can be easily enhanced, however this is merely an informal project to get my personal email off of their damned servers. Wont even comment on their security issues now... :) Have to wait 10 years and see what type of bs comes out similar to the pgp stuff a few weeks ago... eh? So lets go rescue our hushmail :) -Wilfred Wilfred(a)Cryogen.com -=|[.]|=-

Hi Jim, When exploring ICANN's hegemony (aka domination) over the Internet, you can't help but explore how power and control is expressed in the real world.

CDR: N=NP - A correction...
by Jim Choate 04 Nov '00

Hi, I realize now I didn't state the scaling correctly in my example. Let's try it again... Let's say I use an algorithm of O(x^2). My initial problem set size is 10 and I use x resources in y amount of time. If I go to a problem set size of 20 then I use (2^2)x and (2^2)y. And not x^2 and y^2 as I originaly typed. So, to gauge the resource difference between two problem set sizes of x and y, with an O(f()) and z being run time for x, and w being the resource load for x, we get, y/x = dx And the new run time for y will be, f(dx)z And the new resource load for y will be, f(dx)w ____________________________________________________________________ He is able who thinks he is able.

CDR: Bush took ss# off his Texas license!!!
by George＠Orwellian.Org 04 Nov '00

04 Nov '00

Some misc first: Drudge says he's not waiting for the polls to close, he's posting exit-poll results as soon as they come in. I once worked for NES [News Election Service] the combined effort of CBS/NBC/ABC etc to receive exit-poll info from around the nation. Job title was "Error Editor". Anyone have any current info on them? ---- Clinton has vetoed the new secrets bill. ---- The Texas license uses your SS#. http://www.msnbc.com/news/466882.asp [snipped] CHANGED DRIVER'S LICENSE AT ISSUE Sources told MSNBC.com's Jeannette Walls that Bush associates had been worried for several years about his arrest record and had hoped that because it was in Maine, and not Texas, it wouldn't surface. The sources said Bush took one step to keep it under wraps in March 1995, when his driver's license number was changed. Walls first reported this in August 1999 in The Scoop, an MSNBC.com column. At the time, the sources told Walls that Bush got his license number changed because he was worried about an arrest record surfacing. "He has an arrest record that has to do with drinking," a source said then. "He's worried it will come out, but his handlers keep assuring him it won't." The allegation was not disclosed by MSNBC.com at the time because the arrest could not be confirmed. Also in August 1999, the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles told MSNBC.com that changing one's driver's license number was "highly unusual" and that it is done only when the holder of the license can prove that someone is using the license number for illegal activities. Repeated calls to Bush's camp back at the time were unanswered, until a spokeswoman for Bush said the motor vehicle agency would have an additional comment. An agency spokesman then called MSNBC and said Bush's license number was changed for "security measures." He declined to comment further. A spokesman for Bush left a phone message Friday saying license numbers are changed "as a matter of course and courtesy for statewide elected officials. It's offered to all statewide elected officials in Texas." A spokesman for the governor's office in Texas reiterated this and said other governors were also given the option of changing their license numbers.

A little girl wanting to sell nude digital snapshots of herself for milk(bar) money might. You never can tell what passes for "ordinary" these days. I think ZKS just needs to revamp its "little girl" ads. That should increase their subscri(b/v)er base.

In my view (I suspect this may be in agreement with Tim's comments above, though I naturally do not presume to speak for Tim) ZKS' inability to derive meaningful revenue of the Freedom (TM) product can be explained quite trivially: the product fails to meet market requirements. Those willing to pay cash to protect their Internet activities demand real privacy. Not the watered-down, Mickey Mouse "privacy" Freedom provided. Freedom does not offer the user untracable IP. Hence those seeking untracable IP didn't buy the product. Little surprise here. Freedom's current fate was predicted in detail on this list the moment ZKS' deviated from their initial anon IP promises. It appears that ZKS is yet another company that fell prey to the DigiCash "we know better than the market what the market wants" syndrome. What a shame, really. --Lucky Green <shamrock(a)cypherpunks.to> "Anytime you decrypt... its against the law".
