Suggestion for remailer operators.
by nelson＠crynwr.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

If you want to run a remailer fairly safely, insist that all outgoing mail be encrypted, and put an X bytes/day limit on destinations other than other remailers. Why? Because that way you can't use it to post to Usenet (other than to annoy people a little with unreadable postings), and you can't use it to mailbomb someone, and if the recipient doesn't decrypt the message, there will be no possible offending content. -- -russ <nelson(a)crynwr.com> http://www.crynwr.com/crynwr/nelson.html Crynwr Software | Crynwr Software sells packet driver support | ask4 PGP key 11 Grant St. | +1 315 268 1925 (9201 FAX) | What is thee doing about it?

Re: Why use plastic for remailers and DH?

Apart from what Russ Nelson observed, safety in numbers is potentially great. If, say, 15% of the net.populace does it, then it won't be terribly interesting to know that some particular person has done it. I suppose a transition period would be helpful, in which credit card-financed bandwidth is increased with a load of low security traffic. -L.

Microsoft TrueName(tm)
by strick -- henry strickland 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

brat(a)apple.com found this somewhere.... strick Microsoft Clarifies Trademark Policies REDMOND, Washington--January 4, 1995--In response to customer inquiries, Microsoft today clarified the naming policy for Bob(tm), its new software product designed for computer beginners. Contrary to rumors, Microsoft will not demand that all persons formerly named "Bob" immediately select new first names. "I don't know where these rumors come from," commented Steve Balmer, Microsoft Executive Vice President for Worldwide Sales and Support. "It's ridiculous to think Microsoft would force people outside the computer industry to change their names. We won't, and our licensing policies for people within the industry will be so reasonable that the Justice Department could never question them." Balmer said employees of other computer companies will be given the opportunity to select new names, and will also be offered a licensing option allowing them to continue using their former names at very low cost. The new licensing program, called Microsoft TrueName(tm), offers persons who want to continue being known by the name Bob the option of doing so, with the payment of a small monthly licensing fee and upon signing a release form promising never to use OpenDoc. As an added bonus, Bob name licensees will also be authorized to display the Windows 95 logo on their bodies. Persons choosing not to license the Bob name will be given a 60-day grace period during which they can select another related name. "We're being very lenient in our enforcement of the Bob trademark," said Bill Newkom, Microsoft's Senior Vice President of Law and Corporate Affairs. "People are still free to call themselves Robert, Robby, or even Rob. Bobby however is derivative of Microsoft's trademark and obviously can't be allowed." Microsoft also announced today that Bob(tm) Harbold, its Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, has become the first Microsoft TrueName licensee and will have the Windows 95 logo tattooed to his forehead.

I am extremely sympathetic to the anti-abortion cause but the kind of abuse described in this item is unnerving. Although illegal and reprehensible, it is one thing for a government official, because of some strong conviction, to violate the law. It is completely another to violate it for money. Men, if they were men, who did this should have their privacies cut off.

Re: TEMPEST Paper by Former Civilian (1/2)

Sigh. Some anonymous poster drags up "Christopher Seline"'s wildly inaccurate article about TEMPEST. Aside from having a reverse- engineered deacronymization of TEMPEST (which isn't an acronym and isn't about Transient Electromagnetic Pulses), misunderstanding TEMPEST certification, not getting its legalities right, it's in general just plain confused and sensationalist.
