As such, it provides very little information useful for statistical purposes. e.g. - whether people are using PGP 5.X mostly for management of their PGP 2.6.X keys.

I took a short 'course' on hate-crimes in downtown Toronto where this goof was the speaker. In very short order, I had decided that his agenda was merely to be in some small position of authority. He's a pro-censorship freak who wants to protect the chiiillldreeeen from views he doesn't like. It was quite amusing to pin him down a little -- he squirmed and stated that he _did_ want the government to protect him from things he didn't want to hear; in a rather shrill tone. It made me laugh in retrospect but at the time I was, I confess, shocked -- having encountered such idiocy only in print or on USENET. I wish that I had been better at articulating my thoughts during some of the discussions during the 'course'. It was difficult to portray the idea that well-supported arguements are the only _fair_ means to debunk someone else's ideas with which you disagree. I suppose that I should not have been suprised that the other participants in the course were sympathetic to Bernie's right-wing leanings, but there was a woman who owned or ran a feminist bookstore who admitted that many books ordered by her store had been held (or outright banned(?) by Canada Customs based on content; and yet, she was more-or-less in agreement with this proto-tyrant with respect to the issue of supressing the ideas of white supremists. It boggles the mind. -- Steve Thompson Misanthrope System Admin O.B.

Of course a conspiracy theorist might guess that this "new bug" is really a result of somebody hitting some "national security opcode" and we just happened to hit one of the more benign "bugs". I think you alluded to this.

Rape as Performance Art
by Anonymous 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I can sympathize with the demonstrators that the Humboldt Sheriff's Department sprayed with pepper spray during their sit-in/protest. The police have done the same thing to me during the closing scenes of my performance art, as I climb out of the performance victim's window and try to make a run for it. I have found that judges are seldom impressed with a plea of, "Everyone wants to be a critic!" Art Lover (aka 'SouthSide Slasher') "It's not art until *I* have slashed it with a razor."

After the government has finished arming park rangers, as well as all federal daycare workers and filing clerks, I suppose they will begin giving surplus military weapons to USENET censors, and the like, and deputizing them so that they can legally enforce their own narrow views. > It boggles the mind.

Please forward to this coward that have no balls to put his real email address on his emails (I using you guys as he put CC to you guys in his letter, but by no means does this reffer to you). Dear CRYPTO CZAR INTERNATIONAL Idiot, usually we ignore people at your level, but we'll try our best for you, as it might be just temorary insanity. 1) The million dollars challenge have ended at May 15,1997. The current challenge have NO monetary prize. 2) VME flowchart, algorithms and the VME application itself is already in the hands of the large 250 sotware corporations for evaluation. If any of them will prove otherwise, then you might be able to jump and make an idiot of yourself as you did now. 3) We beleive they might like what they saw, as we currently have them lined up to license the technology. 4) Try to keep your pathetic self away from the court room, as next time around you will face legal steps for alleging "fraud". Maybe you really should try and develop some future encryption algorithm instead of mumbling with envy showing your stupidity and ignorance, But on the other hand you're probably not capable of - you're too narrow minded and busy sticking your long nose where it does not belong. Do us and you a favour, keep yourself in your pathetic hole and shut your mouth up. Thanks and worst regards, (we won't bother putting our name on the same email with your name).

Obviously, no one has informed the night janitor at VME that regular list subscribers generally just put Toto's email address in replies to particularly cowardly and/or stupid anonymous posts, since we then have a 90% chance of having sent it to the right person. As an act of mercy toward Toto, I will personally correct the spelling and grammar in the night-janitor's post and forward it to the madman at 'Che(z) Sympatico.' > Dear CRYPTO CZAR INTERNATIONAL Idiot, > 1) The million dollars challenge have ended at May 15,1997. The current > challenge have NO monetary prize. ... > 4) Try to keep your pathetic self away from the court room, as next time > around you will face legal steps for alleging "fraud". According to a claim by TruthMonger, Dr. Vulis found the backdoor in VME's encryption program, and the test message contained a plea for donations from the Georgia Cracker remailer operators. I was originally skeptical about this claim, until sources at C2Nut confirmed it. Sincerely, Ura Fishpal, Flounder and Comptroller Electronic Fraud Foundation

Tim May wrote: >But in many ways, this is good news. The war is coming faster than I thought. WSJ reports today on the increasing conservatism of the military and disputes about the pretense of civilian control, with some officers calling for responsible action to compensate for societal breakdown. It cites several examples of military members preparing for war at home, as mentioned here earlier by Attila and others, with two Marine writers claiming that the next Somolia will be here. This, coupled with reports on LEA inheritance of military equipment and lavish civilian funding to fight terrorism, portends more than Jim Bell (Tim May?) -type sniper takeouts. Free fire zones may be in the offing, or surgical wasting of underground bunkers and germmakers (troublemakers). Wrathful Mars sees no innocents, so preaches the terrorist freedom warfighters pursuing a dream of winner take all, so sorry constitutional fundies, we're the warmonger biz.
