Jury Duty
by Anonymous 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

In 22 years of being qualified, I am facing my first jury duty summons as a regular employee and see no way out except to report. The old self-employment, financial burden exemption no longer applies. Is there a good web site where I can find other legal means to recuse myself (I live in AZ), or if I do decide to report and get on a trial, a web site on my rights to vote my conscious, aka jury nullification? The other option is to just lie, it says the penalty is that of perjury and it seems we shall soon have case law that perjury is no longer a crime. Not a facetious post, I have seen posts here on this before, but never really paid attention because it didn't affect me. If no answers, I will resort to a search engine. But I thought this letter would get me better quality advice. Thanks

The old self-employment, financial burden exemption no longer applies. Your employer is not obligated to pay you during your arbitrarily-long court slavery, BTW. See: Fully Informed Jury Amendment www.fija.org Since snailmail is datagrams, how do they know you received their packet? Remember that you aren't obligated to explain your reasons any more than the barbarians are obligated to be reasonable. >If no answers, I will resort to a search engine.

Don't stand out and you can accomplish more subversion.

--- begin forwarded text Date: Wed, 23 Dec 1998 15:18:40 -0800 (PST) From: <Somebody (who founded a software company :-))> To: rah(a)shipwright.com Subject: Re: http://walkerdigital.com/html/patents.html Status: U IMHO, the patent office has no clue what the hell they're doing. Maybe it is time we do away with patents and let people who feel ripped off rely the courts for restitution. I have always thought that patents were to protect the inventor from being ripped off. However, i now find that: 1. patents are slowing down progress, since someone with a better idea can't use that idea since somehow, any incarnation of the patented idea, however different it may be, is covered by the broadness of the patent, thanks to some high paid lawyer. 2. patents are meant for "inventions", not ideas. Ideas are getting patented everyday. I know of many. Why do I consider them ideas and not inventions? Because the patented "thing" isn't available. There is a description of how it will work, what it will do and how someone could build it, in a million different ways, if they could figure out the tiny details themselves, since that is the part missing. But can you go anywhere and touch the invention, or see it operate or use it in some manner, however preliminary? No. I still have the folder that E*Data sent me four or more years ago, stating: We would rather license than litigate. Here is a list of companies we've sued. You'd look through the paperwork and everything was spelled out except what you would get from them if you licensed their patent, other than permission. You remember E-Data? Where are they now? Well they had a big blow a few months ago to their silly patent. All in all, I don't think patents help the small inventor any more. Those who can afford it, tell a lawyer what they are thinking and in 60-90 days, the attorney will have filed a patent with no more than a few follow-up phone calls or faxes. Those who can't afford it will continue to be robbed of their inventions. My rant. --- end forwarded text ----------------- Robert A.

Is Sameer/C2net Attempting to subvert the OpenSSL and Mod-ssl projects
by Anonymous 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

To: cypherpunks(a)cyberpass.net cc: Subject: OpenSSL and C2Nets attempted subversion of same(Sameers track record -------- On the Subject of Sameers record with open source mod_ssl.c(this was the component that Sameer wishes wasnt available(and did his best to deny to his customers) and indeed was quite sucessful in preventing its availability until Ralf Engleschall's mod_ssl becam available... This is the REAL reason C2net took a nose dive...) and now it appears Sameer is trying to co-opt that project also. I trust Ben Laurie and Ralf... They developed the code . I DONT trust Sameer... he is simply a privateer, he takes sources and trys to restrict availability so he can make a profit from Intellectual Property NOT developed by him... I specifically suspect his announcement coming on the heels of Ben's. I dont think this person will ever get a clue about either Open Source or GPL. merry Xmas the baby ruth bar in the swimming pool :)
