Timothy May the self-admitted child molester possesses a rudimentary dick less than one inch long, half the size of his mother's clitoris, that barely makes a fistful. Thereby hangs the root of this Jew-hating sissy's sick fixation on little boys and Usenet forgeries. ____ \ _/__ Timothy May \\ / \/

ONE MILLION CHILDREN.....
by gary＠safetydisk.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

...and pets are lost or turn up missing every year! Protect your loved ones today! Think about all the things you do to protect your loved ones. Isn't there one more thing you should do? Child and Pet ID Kits have been around for years, but most of them haven't changed with the years. Traditional ID Kits allow you to compile valuable information about your child or pet that you can use in the event your child or pet is missing. We are responding to the rapid changes in technology. We know that any ID Kit just isn't good enough. Our ID Kit is quite different! You supply us with up to three photos and pertinent information about your child or pet and we create a SAFETYDISK. In PC or MAC format, SAFETYDISK is a 3 1/2" disk that contains photos and valuable information that could help law enforcement agencies in the search for a missing child or pet. What makes our kit so unique is that each SAFETYDISK is actually pre-formatted for the World Wide Web. SAFETYDISK can be put on any Internet server within seconds and displayed to millions and millions of people who might spot your child or pet!

Personal use exception to ITAR/EAR
by Greg Broiles 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Someone wrote to the list in the last day or so (I seem to have mislaid the message) asking what happened to the ITAR's personal use exemption. The introductory comments to the new 12/30/96 regs indicate that: "License Exceptions TMP and BAG effectively replace the Department of State's personal use exemption." (Federal Register, p. 68575) License exception TMP is described at 15 CFR 740.4, and BAG is described at 15 CFR 740.9, both of which are available via John Young's helpful hypertext version of the EARs at <http://jya.com/740.htm>. -- Greg Broiles | US crypto export control policy in a nutshell: gbroiles(a)netbox.com | http://www.io.com/~gbroiles | Export jobs, not crypto. |

Modified Token Posting Scheme
by ph＠netcom.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The proposal to limit "noise" posts by using re-usable tokens is interesting because it has the effect of filtering and at the same time remains responsive because the "moderator" passes judgement after posting has occurred. In essence, the poster is betting that the moderator will approve the post retroactively. The purpose of limiting the tokens available is to give them value so that there is a cost associated with losing the bet. However, distribution of the tokens has the same problems that centrally planned economies have distributing bread. Should people wait in line, receive bread at random, or get their bread through connections? None of these solutions is attractive. The right way to implement the scheme is to use dollars for tokens because the USG has already solved the problem of giving the tokens value. The "moderator" returns the money to people when posts are worthwhile and keeps it otherwise. This means that the "bet" can be quite a bit larger than a dollar because responsible posters will get their money back. Starving graduate students will not be discouraged from posting. Abusive posters, anonymous posters, or spam artists will have to pay a substantial fee for the privilege. Of course, there's no reason to have just one moderator on the list. A moderator could just be an e-mail account that forwards mail to the list if valid payment is received. (Moderators should PGP sign their messages so mail forging won't work.) Readers could filter on which moderators have approved the kinds of posts they want to read. The effect of this scheme is to allow newcomers, infrequent posters, or anonymous posters to get through killfiles without taking the time and effort to develop a reputation.

Yes, as long as the message can never be more than 160 bits this would be fine, the co-efficients must be true random for the security to be perfect. Indeed using the same prime is an advantage as you suggest because it does not alter the security but increases the ease of implementing the system.

In the message tell your name, phone number & the best time/day to call you. You also need to leave MY name Rita Marendic & MY Distributor number: which is 1853400. This process will work the same way for YOU when you get into this one with me! If you prefer you may hang up and e-mail me with your phone number and time to call you. It would be worth your time to call the number again and listen to this TWICE! 416-763-9045. I did! I just could not believe what I was hearing the first time!

Sincerely, Rita Marendic
