Cell phone cloning and economics...
by Jim Choate 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hi, Another point in regards the market behaviour regarding cell phones.... In a free-market there is no reason to believe that phone cloning would be reduced as it would still provide a distinct economic advantage over those who sell 1st line equipment. The only thing that keeps the 1st line companies in business is the regulation, without it they can't afford to do the basic research or infrastrucure construction since they can't sell enough phones in the first place because the clones have bought up their share. So without some sort of 3rd party regulation there is nothing inherent in a free-market that protects that initial intellectual and econimic investment so that it can grow and produce a market and a profit. Now it is clear that this regulation is *NOT* primarily the government but rather the social institution or society the governemt or regulatory body exists within. Remember, the profit goes to the one who occassionaly breaks the social taboo's. ____________________________________________________________________ To know what is right and not to do it is the worst cowardice.

UK police chase crooks on CCTV (fwd)

In the future, however, it Excuse me.... Since when does 'suspected of' equate to 'convicted criminal'? Also, in order to wath you (sic) they have to watch everyone - in effect guilty until proven innocent by the computer software. What sort of civil recovery are provided for the inevitable software errors? I bet nadda, and that's wrong too. This is Big Brother Spin Doctor BULLSHIT. We need a law or court ruling pretty quickly in the US that sets the standard that a group of people have no more or less rights than an individual. This will required LEA's to provide probable cause prior to any actions against groups of people (such as this). If they can't audio tape me, or seize my papers and correspondences without a warrant then they bloody well can't video me without a warrant either ,within the context of criminal proceedings. Does anyone know if *any* PAC/SIG/whatever has this as their main political agenda? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- On a similar note, here in Austin they are finishing up with putting hundreds of cameras around town. It isn't long before these sorts of social theory X'ers get their teeth in the shank of American society. We've got(!) to put a stop to this sort of stuff. The law should basicaly ok the use of cameras for vehicular traffic control (this does NOT include execution of speeding infractions and such), this means no police or other LEA's may be involved or view the tapes *without* a warrant. The operators and support personnel should be required to abide by a strict non-disclosure agreement as well. If they notice a wreck or whatever they should notify the relevant emergency personel and *IF* the police serve a warrent only then turn over the tape. This is a perfect example of why I, personaly, believe that a polycratic democracy is the only workable kind in the real world. The 'seperate but equal' doctrine should effect every aspect of a democratic society. ____________________________________________________________________ To know what is right and not to do it is the worst cowardice.

Since "Megan's law" where an effort has been made to warn residents of a convicted child molester living in their neighborhood, I can well imagine that many of them have resorted to using aliases. Another possibility is that since so many of them have multiple convictions on their rap sheets, and since the data entry operators cannot always read an officer's handwriting, multiple *POSSIBLE* birthdates for the same perp sometimes float around in the system.

could you help.....
by Bernardo B. Terrado 17 Dec '03

I found this example in a book It's about Homophonic substitution and I can't figure how they did it , I mean how the other letters where substituted Here's the example Suppose the alphabet is mapped into the numbers 1 to 99 then map E to 17,19,23,47,64 map A to 8,20,25,49 map R to 1,29,65 map T to 16,31,85 but otherwise the ith letter maps to the 3ith letter Then the cleartext MANY A SLIP TWIXT THE CUP AND THE LIP will become 08 20 16 3185 17 25 16 47 3608397220543324451666246931852117066045253909162147332445 My question is what/how did they represent the other letters like L (etc.) coz I've tried to map them and yet I still can't understand I even wrote A to Z then map them to 1 to 99, I still can't figure it out. Could you also give me an example for polygram substitution. Thank you very much.

That's the "otherwise" rule right after the four "maps". If the 2-digit number is divisible by 3 (like the first "36"), divide it by 3 and count that many letters through the alphabet starting with A. The 12th letter (0-origin) is M, so 36 corresponds to M and L corresponds to 33. That particular example doesn't use the ciphertext space very efficiently: only 41% of the available 2-digit numbers are used. If you must use a homophonic, I'd suggest a 100-letter pangram, which gives a reasonable distribution of letters, full coverage of the alphabet, and some chance of remembering the thing without carry incriminating documents. -- Jim Gillogly Sterday, 29 Winterfilth S.R. 1998, 17:38 12.19.5.11.2, 13 Ik 15 Yax, Sixth Lord of Night
