Since no timely announcement from usual sources was detected, why not meet in San Francisco, Golden Gate Park, 9th and Lincoln, create an ad hoc agenda and beat it till dinner time.

Warning for German motorists FRANKFURT, Germany -- German motorists have been told to stop making rude gestures at traffic cameras or they could be charged with offending the police. A Bavarian court has ruled that a driver who held up his middle finger while passing a traffic camera was addressing police officers rather than the equipment itself, German auto association Automobil Club Europe said. The motorist in question had argued that he didnt think the camera was switched on. Germany is renowned for having no speed restrictions on many of its motorways but rigorously enforces limits on other roads, often with the help of speed monitoring equipment.

>Can anyone help me on encrypting the numbers i punch and messages i have in a cell phone that is NOT WAP ennabled . > and can anyone tell me how is cell phone encryption dependent on wap ? The Fedz can watch who you call and what DTMF tones you press without the same warrant they need to listen to voice. Your cellphone location (ergo, yours) is 0wn3d by them too. As is your cellphone-stored address book, in practice. WAP encrypts data between your phone and the basestation, at which point it is cleartext, and may continue on as a new ssl session, and you trust your cell service provider dont you? Oh, and dont think GSL, which stands for voice encryption for gullible europeans, is going to help :-) Clearly cellphones need more low-power MIPS to do the crypto they really should be doing. And the OEMs need a few uncoercable paranoids on their design staff. Otherwise theyre just deceiving customers, or even making them more exposed than before. Ann Fibian -------- "You have no privacy.

CDR: Letter from the President of Match.com
by president＠match.com 17 Oct '00

17 Oct '00

Dear Match Member, As we worked to launch a new Match.com, our number one goal was to deliver a site that met the high expectations set by members like you. Despite careful planning, we were forced to move to the new Match sooner than desired as a result of serious technical problems with the old system. This prevented the important testing and perfecting necessary in the roll out of anything new. During the transition to the new site, we encountered some unanticipated difficulties. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration these difficulties may have caused you. I would also like to thank you for your patience during the transition and express my sincerest gratitude to the many members that have provided invaluable feedback. Be assured that the entire Match Team is working around the clock to deliver the highest quality site possible. I think that it is equally important for me to address a collective sentiment felt by many members, which is Why fix something if it isnt broken? In fact, the main impetus for this latest change was driven by two key challenges. First, the previous technical platform for Match was not stable and close to broken. This ultimately created serious limitations that would hamper our ability to serve you and the growing Match membership in the future. Secondly, in order to add exciting new features and functionality to the site, we had to move to a new platform. On a closing note, I am pleased to announce at the time of this letter, everything on Match.com should be fully functional. What does this mean to you the user: 1) We have your photos and are posting them to the site as quickly as possible. However, due to a backlog of approximately 19,000 photos, it may be early next week before all photos are visible. 2) All Member email correspondence is being delivered. At one point, our email processor did experience an interruption in service, but weve resolved all email issues. 3) Your Customer Care questions should be answered promptly. As you can imagine when the site experienced difficulties, many users sent in email to the Customer Care Team causing a large backlog that took a while to work through. 4) Matching now functions as it did before, returning the types of Matches you have come to expect. Again I thank you for your patience and understanding and wish you the best of luck in finding your perfect match. Sincerely, Cindy Hennessy President, Match.com

CDR: GEMA / tax Lars

I just checked the Legal Status of the GEMA - http://www.gema.de/eng/ GEMA is a "eingetragener Verein" (registered Club) and has no direct association with the state. But there is the "Urheberrechtswahrnehmungsgesetz", sometimes called Lex GEMA. It basically says that you have to proof to GEMA (it doesn't spell out GEMA) that you haven't played music registered with GEMA. If you don't they can sue you for royalities in court. They don't have to proof anything. drt -- DC hat so einen cryptischen Syntax, den muß man einfach lieben. ---Ingo Schwitters http://koeln.ccc.de/~drt/
