Wednesday 9/2/98 6:19 PM J Orlin Grabbe I HOPE to write one of the MOST DEVASTATING, and deserving, ARTICLES ABOUT CRYPTOGRAPHERS EVER WRITTEN. By introducing to the public: MACHINE COMIBINATORICS I stand on the shoulders on several GIANTS. I searched the web for Cardano. http://www.lib.virginia.edu/science/parshall/cardano.html And one SUPERB mathematician Ore, Oystein. Cardano: The Gambling Scholar. Princeton: University Press, 1956. I may need your help with Zola. YOU understand math, Zola MAY not. Best bill --- Wednesday 9/2/98 6:26 AM J Orlin Grabbe http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ I'm going to write an article for The Laissez Faire City Times http://zolatimes.com/ Black and White Test of Cryptographic Algorithms I have what I want to write CLEARLY in mind. THINKING before DOING works better than the CONVERSE. But this takes time, of course. How much $s would such an article be worth? We have to keep in mind WHY we are doing all of this. Like what Baranyi is doing at http://www.qainfo.se/~lb/crypto_ag.htm I will write when I take breaks from debugging and documenting digital FX hardware. $s, again. The digital FX was HOPEFULLY very well thought-out and will work reliably in the field.

The film is a thriller directed by David Fincher (Se7en). "The Game" is what begins when a high-powered businessman named Nicholas Van Orton (Douglas) receives the birthday gift of a lifetime from his brother he alienated years ago (Penn). What Nicholas gets is entry into a mysterious new form of entertainment provided by C.R.S. (Consumer Recreational Services) simply called "The Game." It proves to be an all-consuming contest with only one rule: there are no rules. By the time Van Orton realizes he is in, it is too late to get out. Laced with intrigue, action and danger beyond belief, The Game ultimately draws to a cataclysmic close, every step bringing Van Orton nearer to an explosive confrontation with what threatens him most. Howard Shore has written a tense and gripping score. The soundtrack features "White Rabbit" performed by the legendary Jefferson Airplane. http://www.movietunes.com/soundtracks/1997/game/ The contemplation of things as they are, without error or confusion, without substitution or imposture, is in itself a nobler thing than a whole harvest of invention.
