---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 5 Jun 1996 22:49:26 -0700 From: Tom Collins <tom(a)newts.com> To: declan(a)well.com Subject: Revisiting an old subject... ** ENCRYPTION TOOL NOW NEWTON 2.0 SAVVY ** Geert Jadoul <76271.2121(a)CompuServe.COM> reports that he has finally finished a Newton 2.0 savvy version of NDcrypt. NDcrypt 2.0 Light is an improved version of NDcrypt v1.6. It has become a US$15 shareware utility with a trial period of 4 weeks. After 4 weeks the "Encrypt" and "UnReadable" buttons will disappear until you fill in the registration code in the preferences window. You will still be able after 4 weeks to "Decrypt" notes or make them "Readable" again, so you will not lose any data. The name "NDcrypt 2.0 Light" also infers that Geert is working on a NDcrypt 2.0 Pro version. This version will have better incorporation of NDcrypt in the system; overview and search functions; and viewing Notes (decrypt a Note to view it but keep it encrypted in the Notes app). NDcrypt 2.0 Light is available at <ftp://newton.uiowa.edu/submissions> with the name "NDcry2Li.sit" and on Compuserve <GO NEWTON> under "NOS 2.0 ONLY".

Cypherpunks don't just write code, they engage in petty vote fraud! =-=-=-=-= From: mlegare(a)wetware.com (M. Legare, etc.) Newsgroups: alt.usenet.kooks,news.admin.net-abuse.misc Subject: KotM Winners for May 1996 - SOMEONE'S miffed!

KOOK OF THE MONTH MAY 1996 - DMITRI VULIS (dlv(a)bwalk.dm.com) In one of the most HOTLY contested KotM races in the history of the award under my watch, Dmitri Vilus NARROWLY edged out vote taker Dave C (tale) Lawrence in a race that was right down to the wire. Let's recap: Dmitri Vulis nominated tale for KotM because tale was involved in a "conspiracy of thousands" to send out "forged rmgroup" messages for a newsgroup that Dmitri wanted to create. Dmitri then posted evidence of somewhat dunious validity, and someone nominated Dmitri. And the votes started pouring in. Some from congress.gov, some from algebra.com, some from bwalk.dm.com... hundreds of votes. Well, after an initial surge ahead by the tale backers, a DELUGE of email backing Vulis for KotM poured in, and, since I had to assume that ALL votes were valid (as Dmitri kept forging posts to misc.test in my name to show his displeasure at my INSINUATING that he might have forged any votes), Dmitri won by a narrow 30 vote margin! Vote Count: Dmitri Vulis - 428 votes David C Lawrence (tale) - 398 votes Ed McClosky - 18 votes Yehuda Silver - 9 votes Bill Palmer - 4 votes ellisd(a)netcom.com - 4 votes Mr SAM - 2 votes None of the Above - 3 votes George Conklin - 1 vote Rachel Ewing-Pace - 0 votes smokindude(a)aol.com - 0 votes Clueless Newbie of the Month for May 1996 - MARGE KRICK Marge won in a less vopulumnous but just as hotly contested race. As you may know, Marge is offering a list of ALL USNET NEWSGROUPS for a very reasonable price - JUST the thing we need, unless you know how to look at your ..newsrc file. Oops. Vote Count: Marge Krick - 12 votes Bill Byers - 11 votes Brian Dear - 7 votes John Turco - 7 votes None of the Above - 5 votes Hook Line & Sinker for May 1996 - NONE OF THE ABOVE Apparently, Charles "Chuckie Monster" Newman didn't impress enough people. Sorry, Charlie.

Plan? Scheme? Deluded ravings? Well, several members of the USA PAR (who also post to alt.politics.greens) have voted to disband the USA PAR, to replace James Ogle as secretary, and a few dozen other self- destructive things, yet the ballots just keep rolling out... Vote Count: USA PAR - 19 votes Joly*s 4-Dimensional Speakers - 6 votes the Music Theory of Alber Silverman - 4 votes Church of Scientology (write-in) - 4 votes None of the Above - 15 Votes THE GOLDEN KILLFILE - DR.

Electronic Signatures

Some of the other info in the AP article seems to be coinciding with discussions on the list, so heres a less condensed version of the article. Are we still within the limits of the copyrights? God i hope so. :) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- TAMPA - Flroida now recognizes electronic signatures as legal and binding, however, working out the logistics to implement the new law may take some doing. Andrew Greenberg, an associate at a large Tampa law firm...says, the process saves time by using a computer to handle notary duties that used to be done by hand. he expects the mechanics of electronic certifaction to become simple enough for everybody to use. "It will be like the telephone - anybody can use it without thinking or knowing how it works," he said. Ted Barassi, chairman of the United States Council for International Business, is among a pool of experts Florida Secretary of State Sandra Mortham is expected to call on to set up the state's emerging electronic signature certifacation process. The law does not specify how an electronic document must be signed, but Barassi and others say it probably will mean coding the text and typed signature so they cannot be changed by anyone other than the writer. No on knows yet just how this will be done, but Mortham's own expert on the subject, Gene McGee, envisions a central database that tracks coded computer signatures for individuals and businesses. With Florida already a hub of Latin American trade, cybernotary lawyers could make the state a mecca for international trade, McGee predicts. _______________________________________________________________________ Its kind of scary when the best minds the state could find are so obviously without a clue. One of you politically involved folx could dig up addresses for some of our mis-representatives and forward them discussion from this list, maybe. :) Adios..

Brian B. Riley, who snuck into the WhiteHouse, put on a Bill Clinton halloween mask, and raped Mona Lewinski, wrote: I honestly don't know if I would be too paranoid to say that the government is behind all these happenings, I really don't like the territory that takes us to; but they most surely are quick to exploit them for the own agenda ... it seems now that every untoward incident that happens is hopped upon by some goverment official or goverment schill as an excuse to shorten the leash ... ~~~ Brian, The power of your posts resides in the fact that you do not beat the drum for a totally paranoid view of reality, yet you allow room for that view, just the same. To claim that the children who recently killed a number of their fellow students during a false fire-drill were encouraged by the government in order to draw attention away from the '48 Hours' show on government involvement in the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King would be a stretch. On the other hand, the issues being debated by the '48 Hours' special would have been considered a stretch at the time of the event, despite the fact that they are well supported by information that has been wrested from the grip of secrecy in the time since then. The bottom line is that we currently live in a society whose view of reality has been formed/programmed by the media/medium of TV. "Watch me and I'll bleed you, 'cause you eat the shit I feed you. ~ Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention The danger of the Sheeple being misled by false conspiracy theories propogated by the Fringe Media (TM) is small compared to the danger that they will continue to be misled by the Reality (TM) being spammed deep within the programming centers of thier minds by a mainstream media which feeds at the same trough as FBI snipers and Marine units whose motto seems to be "My country, wrong or wrong..." My career as a would-be shit-disturber and troublemaker pales in comparison with the inevitable leakage that occurs around the edges of the Official World View (TM) propagated by those who employ the gatekeepers of the Media Feeding Pen and the Dogs Of Whore whose teeth ensure that the Sheeple will not stray from their appointed destiny.

Playboy Channel Implicated In Arkansas School Massacre!
by Toto 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The governor of Arkans(redneck)as(sholes) has stepped forward to lay responsibility for the latest school massacre tragedy squarely on the shoulders of those elements of the entertainment media who have not thus far been implicated in the political shennanigans and illegal drug deals perpretrated by the former governor of Arkansas, who is currenly dipping his dick in those entering the Whitehouse through the 'Ladies Only' entrance. It seems that responibility for the massacre lies in the current social acceptance of the licentious violence being spammed upon the public by the immoral profitmongers of the entertainment industry. This is in marked contrast to the current social acceptance of the licentious violence being spammed upon the public by the moral profitmongers of the Biblically-based religion industry. It is obvious that new laws will have to be passed to protect the children exposed to the sex and violence contained in the Christian Bible from being further influenced by corresponding material in the secular sector of society.
