L.A. May Be Shot Down in Bid to Tax Satellites
By Dan Whitcomb

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Los Angeles officials seeking to impose property
taxes on space satellites were brought back down to Earth on Tuesday when
a state board moved toward declaring satellites beyond the reach of even
the tax collector.

But Los Angeles County Assessor Rick Auerbach said he was not yet ready to
scrap the proposed tax and would consider a court challenge if he finds
that the California State Board of Equalization has circumvented state or
federal law.

It was Auerbach who determined that eight communications satellites owned
by Hughes Electronics Corp.(NYSE:GMH - news) and currently in
geostationary orbit 22,300 miles over Earth's equator were taxable as
movable property that was currently out of state, similar to construction
equipment.

That decision prompted county officials to consider an assessment on the
communications satellites, which are each worth up to $100 million new.

But State Board of Equalization members appeared to short circuit that
plan on Tuesday when they voted 5-0 to ``fast track'' a rule that
satellites cannot be taxed, even though Hughes, a unit of GM (NYSE:GM -
news), is based in Los Angeles.

The decision came after presentations by Hughes and Auerbach and directs
the board's staff to draft a rule declaring the satellites nontaxable.
Board members would vote on that proposed rule in the coming months.

George Jamison, a Hughes vice president, said the firm was relieved and
pleased by what he called the ``good common sense'' of the board and said
they considered the proposed tax a very bad idea from the start.

HUGHES: TAX IS 'LUDICROUS'

``It's ludicrous, absolutely,'' Jamison said. ``It's the type of issue,
quite frankly, that causes the company to consider relocating its base of
operations to a more business-friendly environment.''

The satellites are not launched from California, do not pass over
California while in orbit and will never return to the state, instead
becoming space junk, he said.

``We think the ruling is important,'' Jamison said. ``These spacecraft are
not be in the state of California, have never been in the state of
California during their useful lives and will never be in the state of
California in the future.''

Auerbach conceded that the board members ``have made up their mind already
that the property is not taxable,'' but said the issue was not necessarily
dead because he had researched the case and found legal opinions
supporting his position.

``I'll have to see what basis they have for the rule,'' Auerbach said.
``If I believe it's improper (under the) U.S. Constitution and and state
statutes my option is to go to Superior Court.''

``I have to keep an open mind,'' Auerbach said. ``Based on the opinions I
have I think it still looks taxable.''

Auerbach insisted that he was not pushing for a tax on the satellites but
was simply doing his job and trying to determine whether they should be
taxed.

``I'm neutral on the whole thing,'' he said. ``My job is to make sure all
property that's taxable gets assessed and I'm going to follow the law. If
the law says its not taxable it's not taxable. If it is taxable I will
assess it.''

   Mulling Reins on Net Campaigns
   By Declan McCullagh ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
   2:00 a.m. July 11, 2001 PDT
   
   WASHINGTON -- The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote
   Thursday on a campaign finance bill that would, for the first time,
   regulate Internet advertisements and e-mails targeted at voters.
   
   The new rules aimed at online political activity are part of a
   Republican effort to overhaul U.S. election law that has received
   little scrutiny -- which, if enacted, would roil the fast-growing
   online campaign industry and impose obstacles on candidates' use of
   the Internet.
   
   Jonah Seiger, co-founder of Mindshare, a 16-person Internet consulting
   firm in Washington, said he understands why the legislation was
   written to cover "any communications" directed at voters, and not just
   traditional methods.
   
   "But I hope Congress would understand what they're doing," Seiger
   said. "The unintended consequences of sloppy legislation could make it
   more difficult to use the Internet and make it less effective as a
   political communications medium."
   
   On Thursday, the House will consider a campaign finance plan patterned
   after a bill backed by Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) that the Senate
   has already approved. That proposal, H.R.2356, covers only political
   communications sent by broadcast, satellite, cable or the U.S. mail,
   and does not apply to the Internet.
   
   But the version that House Republicans will offer as an alternative is
   far broader in one important way: It regulates "any" paid
   communication -- including Internet communication -- that mentions a
   candidate for federal office. Anyone who makes such a communication,
   not just political parties or candidates, would be required to keep
   careful records and count online spending toward a $50,000 limit that
   would trigger a filing with the federal government.
   
   The bill's drafters say they intended to regulate the burgeoning world
   of Internet politics but predicted the legislation's impact would be
   limited.
   
   Roman Buhler, counsel to the House Administration Committee, said
   "when we thought about the Internet we doubted that the cost of
   Internet messages, such as bulk e-mails, would rise to that level
   It was our sense that bulk e-mails would not approach the $50,000
   threshold." (The bill does count e-mail spending toward the $50,000
   trigger point.)
   
   "A banner ad would be a form of mass communication, and they would
   have to disclose," Buhler said.
   
   Ken Nealy, a press secretary for bill sponsor Rep. Albert Wynn
   (D-Maryland), refused to speak on the record. When asked in person
   what effects the bill would have on the Internet, Nealy declared that
   the conversation was over and left the room.

  Umm, all the stuff being sold for counter surveillance are frequency

   Infinity transmitter? I guess you don't know much about bugs
if you don't know that -- try a web search on the term.

This begs the question: _which_ "Feds"? While it may be harder for 
America's Feds to tap phones in Russia (but don't count on this being 
true for long), the successors to the KGB and GRU are very active. 
Russia even has draconian laws against crypto use which America was 
unable to pass.

In any case, it's absurd to think one would move to Russia to escape 
the problems of the U.S.

Ames and Hanssen were textbook cases in "old school" thinking. They

Amusing...  And from what I can tell from the descriptions of the
two types I saw, if you are looking for it with a frequency meter, grid
dip oscilator, specturm analyzer, RF meters, or whatever, then you are
barking up the wrong tree.  Both of what I saw worked through the phone
lines (one using the existing phone line and one using an additional
phone line) and would not be emitting RF.  Are you think of a third type
that activates over the phone but transmitts on RF (Why?  If it transmitts
RF, why not activate it with RF and avoid the need for the telephone
call in, entirely?) or were you just not thinking?  I suppose that one
might be led to the false conclusion that because someone put the word
"transmitter" in the name that it must transmit RF.  The mouthpiece of
a telephone handset is also called a transmitter and doesn't emit a spec
of RF.

BTW...  A voltmeter across tip and ring should detect the one type
while the other type requires the installation of an additional phone line
and wouldn't ring your phone.  The former (single line) would also interfer
with normal operation of the phone.  Get a "call and hang-up", hang up,
count to twenty, pick up, draw down a dial tone (which could, in theory
be faked - classical modem callback trick) and call someone else,
preferably someone with calling line ID who can verify your phone number
(to avoid stupid loopthrough systems - another classic "man in the middle
trick).  The former also does not work well with ESS switches because
it depends on "calling party disconnect" to hold the line open, which
ESS will not do.  The later (the two line system) was specifically
advertised as working within ESS systems without requiring modification
to the ESS system (obviously to work around the "called party disconnect").

From the desciptions I have seen for the "classic" ring-up single
line infinity transmitter, it seems to be little more than the "classic"
diode-bridge to hold a line off-hook where the calling party can still
hear the called party phones after the called party hangs up.  Lame...
No transmitter, and you just have to install the bridge and controller
anywhere on the POTS pair between the SLC and any of the phones, even
outside the house on the drop line.  If you have a few thousand feet
of copper loop between you and the SLC, it doesn't even need to be in
your subdivision.  Nothing needs to be installed in the house at all to
make that work.  It's still lame and easy to detect (line voltage
siting at off-hook voltage) and even a "busy line" detector you can get at
Radio Shack (lits up to indicate when another extension is off hook)
should detect it.  But NOT with an RF detector.  :-)  Also wouldn't work
with ISDN phones.

As far as ring and hang up goes...  We average about 2 of those
per day, always from "out of area" and always tracks down to these moronic
auto telemarketing boxes that overdial the number of operators.  If you
answer the phone and say "hello" and the autodialer doesn't have a free
operator to had you off to, it hangs up the phone.  Been discussions to
make these illegal (since they don't give you an opportunity to tell them
to add you to their "do not call list" they already violate FCC rules in
theory) and to make the use of "out of area" CLID indicators by telemarketers
illegal for the same reasons.  I happen to know people who work for a
company that designs and manufactures those devices.  Some of these
clowns configure them for dialing as many as 10 times as many numbers
as people handling the calls.  That way if you only get 1 out of 10
answering the phone, all your operators stay pretty much busy.  If you
get more than one out of ten answering the phone, you generate a lot
of "call-and-hangup" calls.  But you (the telemarketer) don't care about
them because they can't identify you and they can't tell you to never
call back and the extra calls don't interrupt your dinner.

The point is that even in the most important case the FBI handled in a

Thanks a lot -- that's a great help. And no, we weren't looking for rf

looking for other bugs.
 And I'm also aware of the great number of telemarketer autodialers (used
to have one myself with a hardwired voice mailbox but didn't use it for 
telemarketing), but it was the timing of these cals that aroused our

Exactly: those weren't the groups that made the real impact when it 
actually came to getting down to business and changing policy. Blame 
MKULTRA or whatever you want, but the bottom line is that they fell apart 
(and had their members killed or put in jail) whereas groups who didn't 
espouse violence continue to this day.


And while

Not Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Susan B. Anthony, Bobby Kennedy and and the 
vast majority of the people who espoused the causes you mentioned above. 
The ones who made the real difference--the ones who immediately come to 
mind every time we think of their cause--didn't espouse violence. If you 
want to talk about Che and Mao and Chairman Gonzalo, that's another story.


> What came of it? 
>>The Indians are a free country. You and blacks can vote.

Not because of the anarchists decision to espouse violence, which the point 
of the above question.

If you want to talk about tactics of anarchists today, why not draw on 
examples from other groups who espoused violence, rather than comparing 
them to groups which largely used peaceful tactics. Apples and oranges.

Ghandi.

Not really, it's a complex set of issues. Why don't you say a little more

Digital Cash

2001-07-11 Thread Ray Dillinger



I've been attempting to design a decentralized auction/
exchange system that permits pseudonymous participants.  
By 'decentralized', I mean that NO central server, or 
subset of individual servers, controls access to any 
resource the system cannot work without; that there 
is no single point of failure. 

A consequence of this is that every ability that exists 
in any node, must exist in every node.  So the whole 
problem of currency issue gets the slightly weird 
solution of "everybody has to be able to print their 
own money."  

The sticking point is that this basically means the 
system will be without any single universal "currency".
A lot of E-cash techniques are usable, but what you wind 
up trading is certificates that represent goods or 
services offered by individuals in the system -- Alice 
the Farmer might issue certificates for bushels of 
wheat, while Bob the Carpenter might issue a bunch of 
certificates that say "collect a thousand of these and 
I'll redeem them for a new 10x10 meter deck on your house" 
and Carol the moneychanger might promise to redeem hers 
for one US dollar each, just for the amusement value of 
"redeeming" something in a system where hard currencies 
are the norm with a fiat currency. So these would be  
effectively a sort of digital merchants scrip, reducing 
back down to barter.

Exchange rates between the currencies issued by different 
participants would fluctuate according to trust and 
commodity values, and I'm okay with that.  Given the 
nature of the trust/reputation thing, I'd expect only 
a very small percentage of the participants to *actually* 
issue their own currency, as they wouldn't get good 
acceptance/exchange values until widely known, but 
everybody would have the ability.

The problem I'm running into is that while all kinds of 
e-cash protocols exist that protect the anonymity of 
the buyer and a lot protect the anonymity of the seller, 
there are none that protect the anonymity of the currency 
issuer, which would be ideal in this circumstance.  With 
the techniques I know of, the issuer can have only "Nym" 
protection. 

The basic problem with anonymizing the issuers (beyond 
technique alone) would be how the scrip gets redeemed 
when you don't necessarily know whom the issuer is.

Can anybody recommend appropriate reading?

Clearly Condit was declaiming against his own demons when he
co-sponsored legislation calling for displaying the Ten Commandments in
public buildings. How easy it is to forget the admonishment against
adultery
when it is not prominently posted at every turn in the Capitol. 

The argument typically advanced in support of the government's dabbling
in
religion is that the constitutional mandate of a separation of church
and state
erodes the power of religious truths and leads inevitably to a liberal,
secular
and amoral society. 

How then is one to explain Condit, who has been an evangelical Christian
all
his life? There's nothing liberal or secular about him. He's a strong
pro-life,
family values, Bible-quoting son of a Baptist minister who is rated
highly by
the Christian Coalition and flunks out with the ACLU.

Have you looked at Plan 9? It would allow you to run the 'mint' as a
independent distributed service for all users that actually runs as no
user. It would require a 'virtual filespace' so the requisite binaries and
such don't reside on any one machine, not native but that's doable as
well. Once started, as long as there were any Plan 9 process/file spaces
available the service would 'live'.

Hello Richard,
There are quite a few ways to set up for credit cards.
1. CCNow, they do everything for you and send any sales you
have on the 1st and 15th of the month. All this for 9% of the sale,
go to their site at http://www.ccnow.com/
I use them and
have been pretty happy with them so far.
2. PayPal is another option to be able to take credit card on your
website. Set up their shopping cart and for 2% and $.30 on each
transaction, don't think you can beat it,  if your going to be
doing
business on E-Bay or one of the other auctions you will need
something like this. http://www.paypal.com/
The above are for small business just starting out on the internet,
no monthly charges, no set up fees, just a percentage of each sale.
If you are actually doing a large volume business there are other
methods for monthly fees that are reasonable.
I have used both of the methods described above and been very
happy with both. The next update on my site will reflect the paypal
features I have just added.

Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of

THE MAIN EVENT:
SVASE Monthly Meeting

Privacy: Where's the Profit?

Microsoft Campus, Mountain View
Thursday, July 12, 2001, 6 pm

Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of startup business plans are based on 
exploiting privacy technologies. Technologies that protect privacy --- as 
well as business plans based on those that undermine it --- seem to come 
out nearly every week. Existing or proposed federal privacy laws will have 
a huge impact on whether those plans ever succeed.

This extraordinarily high-powered panel of experts will sort through the 
issues and tell you what they view as the key issues for entrepreneurs 
facing - or hoping to make money from - the rules and regulations of 
electronic privacy.

Our keynote speaker and moderator JIM HARPER, based in Washington, DC, is 
one of the world's preeminent experts in privacy policy. He is the founder 
and principal of PolicyCounsel.Com, a lobbying and consulting firm focused 
on e-commerce, technology, and telecommunications. He is the founder of 
Privacilla.org, the only online think-tank devoted to privacy as a public 
policy issue. Mr. Harper served as counsel to committees in both the United 
States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. He now works 
to help Congress and regulators understand the New Economy. In his 
presentation to SVASE, Jim will unpack the complex concept of privacy and 
discuss the thinking and plans of legislators, regulators, and advocates. 
Progress & Freedom Foundation (http://www.pff.org/) 
recently named Jim as an Adjunct Fellow.

MARK UNCAPHER is Vice President and Counsel of the Information Technology 
Association of America, responsible for ITAA s Internet Commerce & 
Communications Division. The more than 100 members of the division include: 
Amazon.com, AOLTime Warner, AT&T, Boeing, Cable & Wireless, Covad 
Communications, EDS, Exodus, Focal Communications, Fujitsu Limited, Global 
Crossings, IBM, MCI WorldCom, Metromedia Fiber Network, Microsoft, Nortel 
Networks, SunGard Data, Teligent, and Yahoo. Uncapher argues that the issue 
is not about whether to protect consumer privacy on the Internet -- that is 
what the public expects and what Internet companies are determined to 
provide -- the challenge is to identify the best and most profitable ways 
to do so.

DAVE KRAMER is a litigation partner with the reknowned law firm Wilson 
Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati.  On the privacy front, Kramer has worked 
extensively with technology pioneers such as Google and Netscape, 
developing startups such as Napster and Yodlee, and new online entrants 
like Orbitz, Cogit and Enviz. Mr. Kramer will discuss the biggest threats 
companies currently face in the privacy arena, including privacy regulation.

DECLAN McCULLAGH is Washington Bureau Chief for Wired News. He has been 
writing about the Internet since 1990. McCullagh moderates politech, a 
mailing list looking broadly at politics and technology that was founded in 
1994. He has appeared on CNN, CNN-fn, Court TV, NPR, ABC News, CNBC, CBC, 
CSPAN, Reuters TV, and Fox News. He is a member of the International 
Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences and has been a judge in the Webby 
awards, the Ars Electronica awards, the Internet Freedom journalism awards, 
and the Pacific Research Institute technology privatization awards.

RAY EVERETT-CHURCH, is a Principal at PrivacyClue LLC.  Called the "dean of 
corporate privacy officers" by Inter@ctive Week Magazine, Ray 
Everett-Church is an internationally recognized expert on privacy law and 
policy. In 1999, he became the world's first corporate Chief Privacy 
Officer, a ground-breaking position soon adopted by dozens of Fortune 500 
firms. Founder of PrivacyClue LLC, a privacy-oriented consultancy, he 
advises firms on developing privacy measures consistent with existing laws, 
prevailing consumer attitudes, and acceptable industry practices.  He was 
previously an attorney with the Washington, DC-area telecommunications law 
firm of Haley Bader & Potts, and has counseled America Online, Microsoft, 
and numerous start-up ventures.

Environmental concerns are once again at the forefront of the political landscape. Municipalities across North America are beginning to mandate what goes down the drains.

We have isolated Rhino Ecosystems, Inc. (OTC BB: RHNC) as the only player with a patented product in this niche market.

RHNC has signed a multi-year Master Dealer/Distribution Agreement with Watts Industries Canada, the Canadian subsidiary of the U.S. based Watts Industries Inc.
(NYSE:WTS)

Financial Facts:  In the fiscal year 1999 when the product was first launched, the company grossed $28,998. That number increased to $173,942 in 2000. The current market cap is approximately $1,650,000. Sales projections below validate our estimated price target.

Rhino currently has 34 dealers representing annualized unit sales commitments of 2.8 million dollars, which equates to an additional 1.6 million dollars in replacement filter sales for a total of 4 million dollars in revenue.

The estimate for 2001 is over 1 million USD and 2002 is anticipated to be over 10 million USD.

Sounds like a fertility researcher's work ON MICE has been sensationalized
into a lesbian-couple-cloning issue.

Babies: no men needed
By ANNA PATTY
12jul01

MEN may no longer be needed for human reproduction as a result of Australian
research.

Researchers from Monash University have developed a method of fertilising an
egg using cells from any part of a body  regardless of whether the body is
male or female.

Theoretically, it means that lesbian couples could reproduce without any
need for male sperm.
...

The technique has been used to fertilise a normal mouse egg by using a cell
taken from the body of another mouse.
...

A spokeswoman for Federal Attorney-General Daryl Williams said proposed
legislation to allow States to override sexual discrimination laws 
enabling them to prevent lesbian couples from participating in IVF
treatment  was before the Senate.

But Senator Brian Harradine said the Monash research was nothing short of
cloning. "The Monash researchers are engaging in asexual reproduction," he
said.

"These scientists are driven by the technological imperative  if it can be
done it should be done."
