Improved sexual desire
by Greta Dubois 11 Mar '06

11 Mar '06

A recent survey showed that 68% of women are unsatisfied with their sexual partners. Of course most of these women would never tell their partner that they are unhappy. Not being able to fully satisfy a woman can result in depression and feelings of inadequacy. Thankfully, men of all ages can now safely and naturally enhance their body and penis anatomy and renew sexual vitality without resorting to dangerous surgery. The all natural proprietary blend of unique herbs found in Maxaman is designed to restore blood flow to your penis, unleash stored testosterone, and heighten sensation by activating the body's natural hormone production and supplying vital nutrients necessary for peak sexual performance. http://cekldibfhjm.iqratingss.com/?agbfhjmxwqowyceklzmmdi

NO-QUESTIONS WIRETAPPING - "liberty theater"
by coderman 11 Mar '06

11 Mar '06

let's call this particular form of freedom lip service: "liberty theater" it's been quite a show and only promises to get even more entertaining... :) ---cut--- http://www.oregonlive.com/commentary/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/editorial/11… NO-QUESTIONS WIRETAPPING Friday, March 10, 2006 David Sarasohn R emember that fundamental principle -- the one that got everybody so upset when they first heard about the National Security Agency's freelance wiretapping -- that says that if the U.S. government wants to listen to your phone calls, it needs to get a court's permission? George W. Bush used to talk about it when he was running for re-election. Some people call it the Fourth Amendment. Remember it? The U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence has a message for you about that principle: Forget it. After months of huffing and puffing and declaring its determination to stand up for the Constitution against the White House, the committee -- or at least its eight-member GOP majority -- has decided resolutely to get out of the way. As a result, the majority is now supporting a proposal that would allow the Justice Department, for the first time ever, to listen in on phone calls without telling anybody -- courts or Congress. But only for 45 days. The 45-day limit is the committee Republicans' idea of a constitutional limit on executive power. Not that the eavesdropping would have to stop after 45 days -- although if it did, nobody outside the executive branch would ever know that the wiretapping had happened -- or that after 45 days a court would have to give its approval. The most the Intelligence Committee dares to suggest is that after listening to someone's phone calls for a month and a half, the government would have to tell a congressional subcommittee that it wants to keep doing it. This is not your father's Fourth Amendment. It's not even George Bush's father's Fourth Amendment. "Aside from the civil liberties dimension," William C. Banks, a law professor at Syracuse University, told The New York Times, "there's an invitation here to the president to go on indefinitely with warrantless surveillance." It's not like there's any principle involved. "The Constitution has always been a teeter-totter between collective security and individual privacy," says Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., a minority member of the committee. "This new proposal moves the teeter-totter very significantly in one direction. "I think this is a significant skewing of the balance. We're on the brink of some approaches the committee will regret, and the country will regret." Remarkably, Republican committee members are preening themselves on resisting White House pressure. The committee did turn down the proposal of Sen. Mike DeWine to simply declare whatever the administration had done to be legal -- without delving very deeply into what the administration has done. The majority's reluctance to bother the White House by pursuing the facts needed to conduct oversight is likely to limit any efforts the committee might make in the future; as Wyden notes, "Congress can't possibly legislate in a bipartisan manner with the level of information we've got now." There are other interesting things for Congress to examine. The administration claims its judge-free wiretap power comes from the congressional authorization of force following Sept. 11, 2001. Thursday, the Washington Post quoted David S. Kris, associate deputy attorney general in charge of national security issues from 2000 to 2003, that "In sum, I do not believe the statutory law will bear the government's weight. . . . I do not think Congress can be said to have authorized the NSA surveillance." You might think that point would interest the congressional majority, although nobody wants to be so impolite as to bring it up. It hasn't been a heartening stretch for congressional GOP leaders concerned about constitutional rights. Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Arlen Specter just floor-managed the reauthorization of the Patriot Act while insisting that he had many concerns about it, and promising to produce separate legislation to deal with them -- although by renewing the bill, he's abandoned any leverage on the issue. Maybe he can bring it up again under the new Bill of Rights 45-day exception rule. Of course, if Specter later remembers his constitutional concern, it's not hard to imagine the Senate majority and White House response: Forget it.

mmm, virtual machines... """ Some time before Christmas, a project was started. The task was to enhance an existing LiveCD solution with User-mode Linux. A number of requirements was stated, where the greatest challenge was to fit 10 virtual routers within an old no-name PC with only 256MB Ram. ... With this solution, students taking CCNA/CCNP level studies can have their own router lab on a bootable CD...

""" POLL: how many of you cypherpunks have a padlock enabled core at your disposal (C5P, C5J or +)? anyone who will have one within the next two months (if not now)? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: James Morris <jmorris(a)redhat.com> Date: Mar 6, 2006 8:52 AM Subject: [Xen-devel] Announce of our Xen project; Routing simulation with Einar (fwd) To: netdev(a)vger.kernel.org This looks potentially useful for network development. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 06 Mar 2006 17:06:11 +0100 From: Rickard Borgmdster <doktorn(a)sub.nu> To: xen-devel(a)lists.xensource.com Subject: [Xen-devel] Announce of our Xen project; Routing simulation with Einar Hello all, Some time before Christmas, a project was started. The task was to enhance an existing LiveCD solution with User-mode Linux. A number of requirements was stated, where the greatest challenge was to fit 10 virtual routers within an old no-name PC with only 256MB Ram. And the solution must still be run from a LiveCD. Thanks to Xen, the task was possible to complete. -But, what does it do? With this solution, students taking CCNA/CCNP level studies can have their own router lab on a bootable CD. No need for expensive equipment. The student can set up a virtual network of 10 routers or hosts, and exercise BGP, OSPF, ISIS and RIP routing. The routing software is Quagga, whose interface is very similar to Ciscos native CLI. Feel free to download our first Release Candidate at the project website; http://www.isk.kth.se/proj/qroutix/ Please note that the name "Qroutix" isn't ment for the final product. We're currently phasing over to the new name, which will impact the URL eventually.

Telling the 'approved' story
by coderman 10 Mar '06

10 Mar '06

i'd be laughing a lot harder were this not so disturbing; though still the funniest thing i've read this month: ---cut--- http://www.capitolhillblue.com/blog/2006/03/telling_the_approved_story.html Telling the 'approved' story March 7, 2006 01:12 AM / The Rant . By DOUG THOMPSON On an unspecified day last week an employee of a federal agency that cannot be revealed delivered a document that cannot be identified to a company that cannot be named seeking information that cannot be discussed. The aforementioned federal agent left the unidentified document with an employee of the unnamed company. That employee then called the owner, who must remain anonymous, to inform him that the document that could not be identified sought information that could not be discussed. The owner who must remain anonymous instructed the employee to deliver the unidentified document to a lawyer whose name is protected by attorney-client privilege. The lawyer whose name is protected by attorney-client privilege examined the unidentified document and then reviewed the information that could not be discussed with the owner who must remain anonymous. With the approval of the owner who must remain anonymous, the lawyer whose name is protected by attorney-client privilege contacted a U.S. attorney who demanded that his identity be concealed. The U.S. attorney who demanded that his identity be concealed then claimed the owner who must remain anonymous violated a law that could not be disclosed and faced arrest for charges that could not be specified because he had referred to the document that cannot be identified in an article for a certain, but unnamed, web site. The lawyer whose name is protected by attorney-client privilege argued that his client could not be charged under the undisclosed law because he had been acting as a journalist at the time of the alleged publication and not as the owner of the company that cannot be named. He had, in fact, learned of the existence of the document that cannot be identified from a third-party, who was not named, and was not aware of its exact contents because he had not seen or read the document and, therefore, was not aware of the exact contents that cannot be discussed. The U.S. attorney who demanded his identity be concealed consulted with others who names are classified and concluded that the owner who must remain anonymous walked a fine line between legal and illegal and would not face arrest for violating a law that could not be disclosed on charges that could not be specified. So walking this fine line of justice allowed the owner who must remain anonymous to avoid confinement at an institution at an unknown location for an unspecified length of time. In exchange for his freedom, the owner who must remain anonymous agreed to write a "clarification" of what happened, following the guidelines for publication laid down by the Bush administration. Which is what you just read. ---end-cut--- the piece which cannot be mentioned because it named the letter which must remain secret is here: http://www.capitolhillblue.com/blog/2006/03/bush_declares_war_on_freedom_o.…
