Presumably after a suitable Reichstag Brand. But since they are unlikely to imprison you for not having them. And you will be able to be self employed and drive cars (with foreign or no licenses) and everything without them. What good are they? DCF "Note to commentators about little Jessica's tragic crash.

Applets (let alone javascript) should have no way to exist once you kill the Netscape that is running the Java interpreter. It is possible for applets to keep running in their own thread even after you've left the page they're loaded from, but once you kill the browser the VM should get shut down (the whole browser, not just a particular window). I can't think of any way that an applet could keep going once the VM stops. As for the original dialog thing, couldn't you C-A-Del it to get the task window up and then shutdown the offending NS task? --- Fletch __`'/| fletch(a)ain.bls.com "Lisa, in this house we obey the \ o.O' ______ 404 713-0414(w) Laws of Thermodynamics!"

KWTX (fwd)

17 Dec '03

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Subject: KWTX Vincent Miller / April 25, 1996 International Society for Individual Liberty (ISIL) Update Letter --------------------excerpt------------------------------------ The Onslaught Against American Liberties Escalates The US Justice Department is currently suing radio station KWTX in Texas over what they term "malicious disregard for the truth in reporting on Waco". If convicted the station will be both civilly and criminally liable for any alleged harm caused to property or government agents. This is of course ironic. In a sea of federal propaganda, and self-serving FBI-ATF press releases, the small radio and TV stations (and the Internet) were the Only source of real information about what actually happened at Waco. Even before this case has been heard the judge revealed his bias by stating that he thought the conduct of the station was "outrageous."

Any DLL's that handle Public Key Encryption or Key Exchange?

I'm in the process of writing a freeware IRC client in Visual Basic 3 and wanted to encorporate a secure variant of DCC chat. Trouble is I can't find a precompiled library that has either RSA or DH in it. This doesn't do me much good as I don't even own a Windows C compiler... (is that a crime in some countries? :) ) I'll appreciate any help you folks could give.. Greg Morgan Vice President: Crescent Moon Productions draven(a)infi.net PGP Public Key via E-Mail
