(Noted by several others, too) Sorry about this! The Windows NT client asked "how many keys" I wanted to check, not how many key segments. 50,000 sounded like a few seconds' work on my P120. I've attempted to return the keys using the "reject" button (again on the Win32 client), but I don't think it took. If anyone can tell me what the quickest way to return these keys is, I'd really appreciate it. Sorry, all, Joe Thomas

Info on House members

WASHINGTON (AP) - Civic-minded Web surfers can review reams of information about the House - from members' financial disclosure statements to historical information and archives - courtesy of a new resource center that launched a site Wednesday on the Internet. ``This creates a whole new world,'' said House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., who helped dedicate the Legislative Resource Center in a converted storage room beneath the rotunda of the Cannon House Office Building. It combines the functions of several previously separate offices, including the House Library, the Office of the House Historian and the House Document Room, to provide one-stop shopping for information about the House of Representatives. Visitors can also conduct research in person at the office. The Internet address is http://clerkweb.house.gov. -------------- "Sometimes you're the bug, sometimes you're the windshield."

Piete's server is more reslient than that! What happens is that when it reaches FFFF, it'll start doling out yet unacked keys on the assumption that they were mistakes, or that they were slow machines, or WWW doled ones which the user forgot to ack. This is better for speed reasons also, as it means everybody gets something to do right up to the end, there'll be a mad scrabble at the end where multiple people are working on the same keyspace, as it wraps around the remaining unacked bits of key, but the 1st person to ack gets credited for it, and that way it gets done as quickly as possible.

OK. I give up. I think DreamMonger's last comment about at least sort of believing in my intentions is about the best it will get for me here. Tim, you're in my killfile now too so I'm not going to respond directly to your comments. Now at least when I am going through the meatgrinder, I won't know if it is a cypherpunk or a Japanese fascist who's sending me through.

Suggested book
by Jim Choate 17 Dec '03

Hi, Somebody (I'm too lazy to check the archives) mentioned "The Soveriegn Individual" by Davisdson & Rees-Mogg. I happened to stumble across it in the bookstore so I bought it. While I am only about a 3rd through it and clearly disagree with several points the main thesis is worth examining. Strongly suggested for any cpunk. The Sovereign Individual: How to survive and thrive during the collapse of the welfare state J.D. Davidson & Lord W. Rees-Mogg ISBN 0-684-81007-7 $25.00 ____________________________________________________________________ | | | Participation requires more than just bitching! | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.

In addition to his battles with the cypherpunks list over anonymity, he has also argued with pretty much the entire net community that without a central authority it is meaningless to attempt to distinguish between good conduct and bad conduct, and has attempted to prove his thesis by actual demonstration. His accounts have been repeatedly yanked, he has found himself under endless savage attack by a large part of the entire internet, and has repeatedly gone completely insane, possible because of the emotional stress resulting from massive hostility, denigration, and contempt from huge numbers of people. Of late his attacks have become more cautious and less likely to provoke massive retaliation. He appears to have recovered his sanity temporarily.

It would probably be considered Politically Incorrect for me to mention that eye-shape might be a good indication, so I won't. Another indication might be whether your torturers are shouting, "Confess! You all an Ameliclan SPY!" or, "We kicked your ass in 'The Big One', pal." If you haven't figured it out by the time you've been put completely through the meatgrinder, you can still figure it out by noting whether your remains are being mixed with rice and put in cabbage leaves, or being coated with barbeque sauce and thrown on a grill. > At 05:46 97/08/04 +0200, Anonymous wrote: > > I hope Joichi Ito paid enough attention to the OKC bombing to realize > > that some surgeons are less skilled than others, and that there is a > > risk in remaining too long in close proximity with cancerous tissue. > > Some Japanese conservatives probably think *I* am the cancerous tissue that > their people shouldn't hang out with... "Everybody needs somebody that they can look down on. That they can feel better than, at any time they please. Someone doing something dirty, decent folks can frown on. And if you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me." - Kris Krisofferson It has been my experience that it is more fulfilling to be tortured by CypherPunks than by Conservatives. <ymmv> (And the physical meetings are more fun, too.)
