Apologies for repeats, & please repost where appropriate. Well, now Ladbroke House is not even selling Clinton, and he has gone up from 1:8 to 1:10 at William Hill, while Dole fell a bit more, and just *look* at the William Hill Perot odds, doubling from last time! Whee! Wide disparity there, as Ladbroke's is still holding steady at 50:1 on the little guy, now that they're offering him again. Still no odds yet from Coral, and the nym's giving troubles, and still no offer -- or official explanation for the lack of odds -- on Harry Browne. I suppose folks can keep speculating, still seems like easy money for the house to the oddsman.

But given the counterintuitive nature of contributory infringement, it's also probably good to think carefully about what to say, when. I wasn't trying to tell Sameer what to do - just trying to make it clear that it's normal for him to take a few days or longer to say anything. I'm sure the SPA's press release was cleared by their legal people - it was probably prepared before the suits were even filed. -- Greg Broiles | "We pretend to be their friends, gbroiles(a)netbox.com | but they fuck with our heads." http://www.io.com/~gbroiles | |

PGP 3 will support both discrete log and RSA cryptography. It will interoperate with both, so that when you send a message to someone who has an RSA key, it will use RSA, and when you send to someone who has a discrete log (El Gamal/DSS) key, it will use discrete log algorithms. So there is full compatibility with existing keys, while allowing people to move to cryptography which will be patent free in the U.S. after next year. A free version will be available with this functionality, with source code. Existing users of PGP will hopefully find it easy to upgrade. I cannot say when it will be available, other than to say that the functionality exists for generating and using all these kinds of keys, and we have four programmers, including myself, working full time on getting this version out.

Fuck Cyberpromo
by Robert Hettinga 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

It seems to me that every time I send a message to cypherpunks, I get a 10k message entitled "RESPONSE FROM CYBERPROMO" from "abusebot(a)savetrees.com (Mail AutoResponder)" . It stands to reason that everyone who posts this list gets the same thing. I've certainly seen enough people here complain about it. So. The messages all say send complaints to wallace(a)cyberpromo.com . That's what I'm going to do. With every message I get from cyberpromo from now on. I would expect that if everyone on this list who gets one of these things -- which I suspect is everyone who posts here lately -- turned right around and sent it on to this wallace(a)cyberpromo.com address, those, er, caprophageous cretins, (thanks, DCF; don't sue me for copyright violations ;-)) would get the hint in a hurry. I'm starting with the one I have, and, of course, I'll also do it for the message I get from sending *this* posting.
