OT: OpenForge Re: new here (fwd)
Hi, One time notice... The name resolver issues are resolved. The domains should be updated and active by Thursday. We'll be moving SSZ over from it's current connection sometime this weekend. All the current SSZ mailing lists will move with the exeption of the Cypherpunks related ones and Club Inferno. These bring me entirely too many subpeonas and visits from 'shady characters' for me to want to share that privilige with others ;) The Austin Cypherpunks are expected to be active in projects however (I'm still wanting to build a radiation based diode RNG, versus a Geiger-Meuller tube). First I need to get 'igor' (Perl based anon remailer/mail list manager) working and that isn't really scheduled to even start until something like July (we've got to finish the initial server farm first). Stu is working on the physical meeting and we should have something worked out in the next week or two. We hope to have the first meets the last of Feb. or first week of March. We hope to have weekly meetings with topics in a variety of areas. However, we are NOT primarily a support organization, we are focused on projects and services. The Austin Cypherpunks will continue with their traditional monthly 'social' meeting. For more mundane project discussion one of the Open Groups meetings will be more workable. The 802.11b's are about 10 miles apart (~183@Target, & ~48th@Duval, we'll be adding one in Leander in the near term as well) and will be accessible only by Open Forge/Hangar 18 participants (to all those local users groups that declined our invitation - your loss - we tried to be more liberal and you said 'no'). The proposed site in Elgin was dropped when the sponsor decided it wasn't worth his time. We are looking for any potential participants in that area. I understand that OpenMosix is now available (see /. for more info). As soon as I can get some time I'll build up a box and make it available to participants.

What I discovered is that Plan 9 is a distributed OS, therefore to use it you need a distributed infrastructure. That implies several machines. I'd suggest loading a I/O-Auth server and learn the basic sys admin (the first thing you ALWAYS do with a OS after getting a good load). Then build a file server, followed by at least two (2) process boxes. Our current state is that we have the T1 in stalled and two 802.11b wireless AP's in Austin, Tx. We are currently fighting name resolver issues under SuSE 7.3, as soon as they are resolved in the next couple of days we'll link the two sites together (ie ssz.com w/ mansion.org & open-forge.org/com goes live). Once we have the firewall and routing issues taken care of we'll be replacing our primary DNS machine with a Plan 9 box (once we figure out how). The best target for a Plan 9 cluster of services (ie a I/O/Auth/DNS server, a 80G file server, and at least two process boxes is July). We stongly(!) invite others to put up resources sooner. Once the resources are up we've got to figure out a way to control access (probably a sign-up via webpage). Hangar 18 (and Open Forge) is not the usual 'user group'. We are a co-op. This means that if you want to play, you have to provide some sort of service to grow the co-op. Rule #2: No free loaders or lurkers. If you're not working on an active project you're in the wrong place. If you just want to munge system resources then you'll have to find a current co-op member who is willing to give away access gratis. The Open Forge group doesn't do that. This means that in order to get a reliable connection to Open Forge through ssz.com, mansion.org, or open-forge.org/com you'll need to have something to share with the community. It could be a machine with 24*365 access (part-time isn't acceptable for servers), program on projects, host a cluster of mail lists (we're currently at 200+ when we go live). Users will of course be able to access the 80G file server and a small (maybe 2-4) sub-set of our planned process cluster. This small set of resources will be available for a

The Axis fund.
Defense analysts say that most of this has nothing to do with streamlining the military for the light, super-mobile special ops needed to fight terrorists. But who cares? There's money to be made. Predictably, the Big Five are all doing well on Wall Street (except, oddly, Boeing, the only loser in the fund, down 5.9 percent since 9-11). But the real highfliers in the Axis of Evil are the security and biometrics companies that will help homeland defenders track your every move and keep out the jihadis. Viisage Technology, which makes digital ID systems, is up 317 percent; Visionics, which helps law enforcement manage fingerprint and voice and face recognition databases, is up 182 percent; Invision Technologies, which makes explosives-detection systems (useful at luggage check-ins), is up a rip-roaring 1,299 percent. Then there are bioterror detection experts like Cepheid and bullet manufacturers like Alliant Techsystems, both looking very healthy. Point is: Run down the line of companies that cater to a climate of impending doom, you'll find rising returns in every one. I called up Amy Domini, who manages Domini Social Equity for investors with a "conscience," to brag about how well the Axis of Evil is doing. Social funds like Domini make a point of shutting out tobacco, alcohol, gambling, big oil, defense, small arms, and agribusiness stocks -- wherever profit seems to come before people, the social funds say no. As for the Axis: "Well," says Domini with a sigh, "I've never come across such a fund. If it did exist, the manager would have to be the most cynical human being ever born. But this is definitely his time -- the heyday for such a thing. There's a man in the White House who appears to be absolutely obsessed with war." But if there's a war on, isn't it in fact far from cynical to invest in the big-budget defenders of the nation? I mean, get with the program, Domini! Come in for the Big Push. Come to think of it, it's the socially "responsible" funds that are un-American: They won't invest in oil or pistols or even Jack Daniels. Probably dangerous; definitely to be monitored. More importantly, look at their lousy returns. Since 9-11, Domini Social rose just .84 percent, beating out the Dow, sure, by a hundredth of a percentage point -- squat compared to the Axis' 185 percent. Other socials climbed in the 1 to 2 percent range. The Pax World Balanced Fund was down 1.1 percent. Pax just doesn't pay. praise Bush and pass the ammunition. Our fund is looking even better than when Turchansky ran the numbers back in October: The Axis of Evil returned 185 percent for the period from Sept. 10 to the close on Feb. 5. For the same period, the S&P 500 climbed a piddling .32 percent, the Dow Jones Industrial a mere .83 percent. Center stage in the fund, of course, are the Big Five defense contractors. Boeing is set to make billions on deals for its lethally dysfunctional V-22 Osprey helicopter-turboprop and its generously over-budget F-22 Raptor fighter jet. Raytheon makes the $750,000 Tomahawk missile, a favorite weapon of the military and used by the scores in Sudan, Iraq and now Afghanistan (the Navy, apparently, is running out of them). Lockheed Martin just sealed a $200 billion development contract for something called the Joint Strike Fighter. Northrop Grumman describes itself as "well-positioned in missile defense," meaning that it stands to win on the $9.2 billion Bush hopes to spend on the newly formed Missile Defense Agency (funding is expected to rise to over $11 billion annually by 2007). And shipbuilder General Dynamics is looking at some $7 billion in contracts for destroyers and attack submarines and aircraft carriers and lots of other costly toys.

I think the last (domestic) highjacking (before 11 September) was in the 1980s. An interesting note is that a bomb or a highjacking are not considered accidents so the September 11th deaths are not counted against US airline safety records and in spite of the AA crash in NYC on November 12th, last year was officially one of the safest years in the history of US commercial aviation.

I found the key to REAL weight loss 21789
Dear Friend, I have just lost 40 pounds and I wanted to share my secret with you because not only do I look a lot better, but I feel 20 years younger. If I can help you get to where you want to be with your weight I know you will find a whole new quality of life waiting for you too. I am sending you this because you indicated your interest in this subject on an opt in list. If you are no longer interested, please accept my apology for bothering you. I always maintained my ideal weight when I was a teenager but I must admit that I did not eat very healthy food. After I became a mother I started eating off my childrens plates. Slowly, the peanut butter started packing on the pounds. Recently, I found myself longing for the good old days when I could wear anything and look good. However, I am not exactly a paragon of willpower . I just knew that in this day and age of incredible scientific advances, there must be a new product out there that would make losing weight a piece of cake. I started ordering diet products from magazines, the newspaper and mail ads. The products sounded great but to my dismay none of them helped me lose even one pound. I would spent hundreds of dollars on a bunch of lies and useless products. I did not give up though, because I knew that there had to be a product out there that helped you lose weight easily. Finally I looked to the Internet for diet information and product recommendations. There I finally found what I was looking for. There was a write-up on a product called BerryTrim Plus. The article stated that BerryTrim Plus was a breakthrough for weight reduction. Boy! They were not kidding. Basically, it had everything you needed for weight loss packed into one tablet!!! The main ingredient, the Brindall Berry reduces your appetite and acts as a fat burning agent. It also contained many of the weight loss aids I had read about like chromium picolinate, vitamin B6, Green Tea Extract, and L-Phenylalanine. Well this was for me. I took the tablets as recommended for rapid weight loss. My appetite plunged and the fat started to drip off!!! Before long I had lost 10 pounds. Then 20, 30, and finally the last 10 hideous blobs of fat disappeared. All this without hours of sweating at the gym and using diets that you need a PhD to figure out. Now I am hot again, REALLY!!! I can wear boss clothes and do not have to be jealous of the tiny bodies flaunting themselves on the Silver Screen. But all this was secondary to the newfound energy, joy and zest for life I felt. Losing weight brought me out of the boring doldrums and I started having fun again. Life is good and it will be for you too. BerryTrim Plus is a product that will star in my medicine chest for the rest of my life. I hope you will do yourself a favor and give BerryTrim Plus a try. After all, what do you have to lose? And what you will gain will far exceed your expectations. Good luck. God Bless, Laura Rodgers CLICK HERE To be removed CLICK HERE

So we shouldn't even try. - - - - - - - - - - - - By Barak Jolish Feb. 4, 2002 | Here's a tip for Treasury Department agents tracking al-Qaida's finances: You might want to pay a visit to the volume discount department at Dell Computer. Al-Qaida, it seems, has been an avid consumer of computers over the last several years, and is especially fond of laptops. It isn't hard to understand why. With his hectic, on-the-go lifestyle, no self-respecting terrorist can function without a computer that fits comfortably on an airplane tray table. Alleged "20th hijacker" Zacarias Moussaoui, for instance, used his to research crop dusters, quite possibly in preparation for a biological attack on a densely populated American city. Ramsi Yousef used a laptop he accidentally left in a Manila apartment to plan his extensive itinerary, which included assassinating the pope in the Philippines, attacking an Israeli Embassy in Thailand, and bombing the World Trade Center in 1993. It's not surprising, then, that the seizure of computers has become a primary goal for U.S. soldiers scouring Afghan caves and ambushing Taliban and al-Qaida operatives. Ironically, though, winning possession of this equipment on the battlefield may be the easy part; terrorists today have the capacity to protect data with encryption schemes that not even America's high-tech big guns can crack. The number of possible keys in the new 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), for example, is 1 followed by 77 zeros -- a figure comparable to the total number of atoms in the universe. Luckily, not all encryption is hopelessly secure. Ramsi Yousef was careless in protecting the password to his encrypted files, giving the FBI relatively easy access to their contents. It took the Wall Street Journal only days to decrypt files on two Al-Qaida computers that used a weak version of the Windows 2000 AES cipher in Afghanistan. The U.S. cannot, however, count on such carelessness indefinitely. But recent changes in U.S. policy have actually reduced restrictions on the spread of sophisticated encryption. In January 2000, for instance, the Clinton administration ruled that "retail products" that undergo a one-time, 30-day government review can be exported to nearly all countries (with the exception of Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Sudan and Syria) without any government licensing requirement. Revisions published later that year relaxed even these limitations for products exported to the 15 nations of the European Union and several of their major trading partners. The practical effect of these reforms has been that the industrial-strength Windows 2000 128-bit High Encryption Pack is now freely available over the Internet to anyone, including Hamburg residents such as presumed Sept. 11 ringleader Mohammed Atta. Since Sept. 11, some commentators and lawmakers have suggested that the U.S. reverse itself once again, and redouble efforts to control encryption. On the surface, this sentiment is understandable -- it is difficult to argue against any moves that may prevent future terrorist attacks on the scale of the WTC disaster. This position is, however, dead wrong. Quite simply, the U.S. regime of strict encryption controls didn't make sense before Sept. 11, and it doesn't make sense now. The starkest illustration of this reasoning is the case study of Israel, which is simultaneously a leader in encryption product exports and a major focus of terrorist attacks. Before President Clinton's 2000 reforms, proponents of encryption export controls were besieged from all sides: on the left and right flanks privacy advocates argued that strong encryption is vital to protecting individual liberty against government intrusion. First Amendment devotees launched a frontal attack in the courts, claiming that encryption code was essentially speech. Most effective, however, was the carpet bombing of lobbyists and campaign contributions from the software industry -- the Microsofts, IBMs and Suns of the world -- who argued that export controls simply drove customers seeking secure products to companies in other countries -- such as Israel. These companies estimated their losses in billions of dollars, and noted the costs to workers as well; even domestic companies were hiring independent overseas software developers to create encryption products. Though their agendas differed, the above parties were united in their claims that the government's policy stood little chance of significantly controlling criminal use of encryption. First, they noted that producing encryption algorithm

Dear Aimee,you seem unusually verbose,would you like me to send you some of my zanax? "Historically, it has been essentially impossible to adequately motivate an assassin, ensuring his safety and anonymity as well, if only because it has been impossible to PAY him in a form that nobody can trace, and to ensure the silence of all potential witnesses. Even if a person was willing to die in the act, he would want to know that the people he chooses would get the reward, but if they themselves were identified they'd be targets of revenge. All that's changed with the advent of public-key encryption and digital cash. Now, it should be possible to announce a standing offer to all comers that a large sum of digital cash will be sent to him in an untraceable fashion should he meet certain "conditions," conditions which don't even have to include proving (or, for that matter, even claiming) that he was somehow responsible for a death."Saint Jim of Lompoc.

Trends in criminal acts against civil aviation 1992-2000
I came across some interesting reading. I'm working on a paper about information security and security through obscurity. Part of my thesis is that tightened airport security in the US largely misses the mark. My main goal is to identify where traditional "security through obscurity" is being brought into play in recent security changes. Whatever. I found a good Web site that I wasn't aware of, and wanted to share some findings: FAA Office of Civil Aviation Security Criminal Acts Against Civil Aviation http://cas.faa.gov/crimacts/ This is really great reading. Every year (in about July for the previous year - nothing on 2001 yet), the FAA produces a detailed analysis of trends in hijacking, explosives, etc. involving civil aviation. It's intended to be exhaustive, with data from around the world. As we've all probably noticed, no US-based civil aviation incident goes unreported in the popular press. Hijackings and airline bombings, when they occur, are big news. I was surprised to see that the number of US-registered air carriers involved in hijackings (and most other acts the FAA considers in these reports) from 1992 - 2000 is zero. This stuff happens to non-US airlines, and usually outside of the US. Hijacking count by year (all incidents; total for US is 0 in all years): 200020 199911 19989 199710 199614 19959 199423 199331 199212 Bombings and attempted bombings is steady at close to zero across 1992 - 2000, with either 1 or 0 in all years worldwide (except 3 in 1994). Incidents tend to occur in Asia, Latin America and the Middle East, with fewer in Europe than might be expected and across the board very few in North America. The FAA's categories are: - "Hijackings of Civil Aviation Aircraft," - "Commandeerings of Civil Aviation Aircraft," (when the plane is on the ground at the start of the incident) - "Bombings/Attempted Bombings/ Shootings on Civil Aviation Aircraft," - "Shootings at In-Flight Aircraft," - "Attacks at Airports," - "Off-Airport Facility Attacks," and - "Incidents Involving Charter and General Aviation Aircraft." They specifically do not include incidents involving military aircraft, and exclude most incidents that occur in wartorn areas. (A note to the alert: I don't think TWA 800's explosion in 1996 appears in these reports, as the cause was not determined as of July 1997 when the 1996 report came out. Reports are only available online 1996-2000, and cover a 5-year period -- that's why I don't go back further.) >From the evidence in these reports, you might form several different hypotheses: - The world suddenly turned much more dangerous in 2001 (at least the US part of the world). - Airport security in the US is truly exceptional, resulting in a disproportionally small number of reportable incidents. - For a variety of reasons, the US and US-based airlines have just not been as attractive to criminals as non-US. (This is at least partially true: a lot of incidents involve people seeking political asylum -- people don't get on a jet at JFK to seek asylum in the US [or on a jet headed towards JFK], as they're already there! The reports comment on this several times.) - The US media and government trend of refusing to acknowledge or even publicize the demands of hijackers has decreased the appeal (other countries have followed suit with this approach). Remember Tommy Lee Jones in "The Fugitive?" "I don't negotiate." Whatever angle you take, there seems to be pretty damned good airline security in the US and for US-based airlines. Here's a quote from the 2000 report, in which the number of incidents overall nearly doubled (to 42) from the prior 3 years: "During the past few years, the relatively low number of incidents that were recorded may have been interpreted as an indication that the threat to civil aviation was decreasing. The fact that the number of aviation-related incidents in 2000 increased by 75% proves such an interpretation to be premature. To be sure, the threat to civil aviation has not significantly decreased. In addition to the ever-present threat of a terrorist hijacking or bombing, an individual who hijacks a plane to seek asylum, a guerrilla group that attacks an airport, or a terrorist group that bombs an airline ticket office, constitutes a threat as well. The increase in the number of incidents in 2000 attests to the fact that civil aviation continues to be a target of terrorists and non-terrorists alike." (p. 47) -- Greg

Libraries Cull Collections to Make Feds Happy
Here's an interesting little story. The Feds are rethinking the idea of continuing to make documents which detail information about vulnerable infrastructure available to the public. Indeed, many such documents are no longer on government Web pages. But what to do about the documents already out there? No problemo. :) The Feds recently sent out a letter to 1300 libraries across the country, asking them to destroy a particular document about water supplies. The libraries cheerfully complied. One wonders if the libraries would have rolled over so easily had the government requested the destruction of "The Turner Diaries," "Why Buildings Fall Down," or "Heather Has Two Mommies." Maybe we need a program to certify people as "Trusted Citizens" in order to enable their access to forbidden technologies like chemistry and encryption. - CASTLETON, Vt. -- Under federal orders, two Vermont schools destroyed copies of a document about water supplies that had raised security concerns after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The University of Vermont and Castleton College got letters last fall from the U.S. Government Printing Office instructing them to destroy the little-known document, "Source Area Characteristics of Large Public Surface Water Supplies." "It's pretty unusual, really," said Ruth Parlin, Castleton's library director. "I've never really heard of the government asking libraries to destroy something that's already been made available." The letter was sent to all 1,300 libraries that serve as federal depositories across the country. In Vermont, only Castleton and the University of Vermont had the document. Both stored it on a CD-ROM. "We had someone fold it and it shattered," said Nancy Luzer, who is in charge of government documents at Castleton's library. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.

A pair of researchers has unearthed flaws in the CIA-funded product that contradict the company's claims of "complete privacy" and reveal the supposedly confidential information of customers. Founded in April 2000, SafeWeb marketed an advertising-supported service said to allow users to browse the Web anonymously. In interviews, SafeWeb CEO Jon Chun boasted that the technology had been "through the rigors of the CIA's stringent review process, which far exceeds those of the ordinary enterprise client." Citing the economic downturn, SafeWeb abandoned the free service in November 2001. It has licensed its anonymizing technology to another company, PrivaSec, which currently offers the service for free and plans to charge for it soon. In a paper (PDF) released on Tuesday, David Martin, a Boston University computer scientist, and Andrew Schulman of the Privacy Foundation say that SafeWeb's assertions were more hopeful than true. They say, and SafeWeb has acknowledged, that flaws in the company's architecture allow a website to use JavaScript to obtain the concealed Internet address of the visitor. Because of SafeWeb's centralized technology, that page can also download a browser's cookies and obtain copies of subsequent Web pages visited during that session.

Assassination has the effect of empowering that which you oppose, solidifying their position, hardening your target, undermining your moral position, identifying "something," and rendering "something" vulnerable to spirals of reprisal that you cannot withstand. Only in rare circumstances would you want to kill the "leader" of anything. The leader you know is better than one you don't. New enemies mean new plans. You should never let anybody kill your enemies, after you work so hard to make people hate them. The people will follow somebody they love, and you don't kill the enemy leader until that's you. Your choice of tactics mirrors your capability. Assassination is somebody flashing before they flesh. If you were an insurgent, in some far-off country, petitioning for my support against a mutual evil -- and I had to support somebody -- you just got crossed off my list of contenders. That's ESPECIALLY if my objective was destabilization and general havoc. Aside from being sickassassination is stupid on the tactical merits alone. Works in a narrow set of circumstances, and you don't have it. But it is dumb for the most ancient of reasons: "Deny your enemy power in the afterlife." There are a thousand ways to beat a live enemy, but zero ways to beat a dead one. In our human past, Tribe A would go kill a member of Tribe B. Tribe B when then attack and fight for a dead man, sometimes calling his name for generations. To our ancestors, that was puzzling. IMO, they concluded there was a enemy afterlife. From then on, many mutilated the bodies of their enemies. The most powerful enemies -- DEAD MEN. Men will fight in their names for centuries. They usually died in battle. For some cultures, immortality remains associated with death in battle, and we still want to "die whole" in body and soul. Our ancestors were buried with weapons. IMO, it wasn't a sentimental gesture. A warrior fought for his tribe -- even in death. There are still "ancestor insults" in many cultures. War was a contest between living wills, but also dead ones. In our exchange, you "called on the spirit" of Thomas Paine. I had to go get another dead guy to meet your dead guy. Somebody even pointed out that my General Paine dead guy was "spiritually polluted," and inferred that your dead guy was better than my dead guy. Things really haven't changed much. Part of the reason assassination is frowned upon, has it's roots here. You must meet the enemy in battle and beat him there. To kill him is not enough. You fight more than an enemy body, you fight the demon that is the soul of the man. (We let Stalin die whole. We will fight him again. He's not dead.) Old soldiers never die. Some men fight forever. Men that died "whole," perhaps even killed, but not beaten. Your ancestors knew this, so do you. In our current conflict, we should forget what we've learned, and do what we know. If I got to pick warriors, I would go to battle and throw men at a line. The ones that want to run away -- the ones that hang towards the back -- my guys. America is a dueling culture in a savage land. ~Aimee

Right, except that the co-pilot isn't just someone who could be the co-pilot, he's the person acting as the co-pilot. Just as there can only be one person flying pilot-in-command, there's only one person who can fly right seat, and the person actually doing so is the co-pilot. If that co-pilot died and someone else took over, that person would then be the co-pilot. Everyone else is just a passenger, despite the fact that some of them may have a pilot's license. -- Riad Wahby [EMAIL PROTECTED] MIT VI-2/A 2002

green activist calls self 'terrorist'
Wonder what kind of deal he got for calling himself a "terrorist" (tm, USG) Arsonist Who Tried to Stop Construction Near Protected Area in Phoenix Area Gets 18 Years By Foster KlugAssociated Press Writer Published: Feb 12, 2002 PHOENIX (AP) - Weeping and apologizing to his victims, a man was sentenced to 18 years in prison for torching seven luxury homes under construction as he tried to stop development near protected desert areas. Mark Sands, 50, also must pay $2.8 million in restitution, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton said during Monday's sentencing. Sands cried as he apologized to his family and victims who attended his sentencing hearing. "I believed then - and yes, it was arrogant - that the fires and threats would make a difference," he said. "There is no environmental or religious excuse for terrorism of any kind." Sands pleaded guilty in November to eight counts of extortion and one count of using fire to commit a federal felony. Arson charges that were part of an original indictment were dismissed. He also admitted writing letters to the media and property owners warning that the fires would continue as long as people continued to build next to the protected land in Phoenix and Scottsdale. One note, found April 29 said, "You build, we burn again." http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGAF7L9MLXC.html

Last week, at Manchester airport in the UK, some journalists walked onto a plane with replica guns and fake bombs. No-one noticed. Yesterday, at Heathrow Airport near London, a couple of enterprising young men drove off with 6.5 million dollars US in used notes that were on their way from Bahrain to New York. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/england/newsid_1815000/1815316.stm). It raises nagging questions like: - why would a portable cargo of that value ever be in the sole charge of one driver, completely out of sight of anyone ELSE (never mind the security guards) - why would anyone with enough state-licensed legitimacy to send the money, send it in that form? Why not just get the local bank to dispose of the notes (I'm sure the US embassy would send a man with a gun round to make sure they all got burned) and wire the money? Never mind the Internet - these guys haven't even caught up with Morse yet. - why would anyone sending 6 million dollars not employ their own security? Unless of course they did, and they were watching all the time, and the thieves are about to get a very nasty surprise when the original owners turn up to collect the cash to put on the mantlepiece next to their nice big insurance payouts. I imagine that the airport staff are going to get visits from some extremely inquisitive loss adjusters.

"Imagine for a moment that as ordinary citizens were watching the evening news, they see an act by a government employee or officeholder that they feel violates their rights, abuses the public's trust, or misuses the powers that they feel should be limited. A person whose actions are so abusive or improper that the citizenry shouldn't have to tolerate it. What if they could go to their computers, type in the miscreant's name, and select a dollar amount: The amount they, themselves, would be willing to pay to anyone who "predicts" that officeholder's death. That donation would be sent, encrypted and anonymously, to a central registry organization, and be totaled, with the total amount available within seconds to any interested individual. If only 0.1% of the population, or one person in a thousand, was willing to pay $1 to see some government slimeball dead, that would be, in effect, a $250,000 bounty on his head."

We all know USGovt. slime infest this site,PJ,Maurice+Faustine and Aimee,the CointelPRO hoes.There's probably others Will the Govt. encrypt the 2.5 mill reward for agent anthrax? And if not,why not? You want some big *threat* to justify all your lurks and perks? Be careful what you wish for. "Surrounded by Moslem maniacs on one side and Christian maniacs on the other, the wise Lord Hassan [al-Sabbah] preserved his people and his cult by bringing the art of assassination to aesthetic perfection. With just a few daggers strategically placed in exactly the right throats, he found Wisdom's alternative to war, and preserved the peoples by killing their leaders. Truly, his was a most exemplary life of grandmotherly kindness." Anarchy Al Ackbar!

Dearest Choate, The title you're looking for is "Minority Report". The trailer seems good, and indicates potential despite the fact that it's a Spielberg movie starring Tom Cruise. It's yet another movie based on a Phillip K. Dick story, which means it will have little resemblance to the story at all. -Drew At 03:02 AM Tuesday 2/12/2002, Marcel Popescu wrote: >From: "Jim Choate" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > Which makes a nice segue into a movie (I don't remember the name, sorry) > > that is due out this year.

New KaZaA downloads upgrade Kate Mackenzie FEBRUARY 12, 2002 THE Australian company that bought popular file-sharing software KaZaA has launched the first new version of the program since it made the purchase. Sharman Networks made the announcement via a Californian company today. It said KaZaA 1.5 allowed users to recommend media files to other users, had a faster search function and loaded quicker than earlier versions. Sharman Networks bought KaZaA from Dutch company Consumer Empowerment DV, which developed the FastTrack technology used in other file sharing programs Morpheus and Grokster. Consumer Empowerment and two US companies, which own Morpheus and Grokster, became the subject of a legal claim by the Recording Industry Association of America and the Motion Picture Association last October. Although little information about Sharman Networks has been made available, its chief executive Nikki Hemming also headed the failed Sega World theme park in Sydney's Darling Harbour. "The demand for the KaZaA Media Desktop continues to exceed our expectations with close to 1.5 million downloads a week," Ms Hemming said in the statement.

The idea of "experiments" is socialistic in nature; capitalism is based on principles. Speaking of which - has anyone here read Hoppe's "Theory of Socialism and Capitalism"? (Available online at http://www.mises.org/etexts/Soc&Cap.pdf) More to the point, does anyone know of any *counter-arguments* ? (I find it extraordinary compelling, and I believe that, since not everyone is capitalist, there might be some hidden flaw in it. Or maybe they just haven't read it. ) Mark

The movie is "Minority Report" (not sure if it's been released yet): http://us.imdb.com/Details?0181689 It's based on a short story by Philip K.

Hail to the Chimp!
Mr Bush has never seen the country's favourite comedy Sex and the City, and rates Cats as modern theatre at its finest. Although Mr Bush wasn't familiar with DiCaprio's role in Titanic, the world's highest-grossing film, he knew the Austin Powers movies inside out. Mr Bush often lifted his pinkie to the corner of his mouth to mimic the Dr Evil character in the Powers flicks, according to the author. The son of the 41st US President admitted to reporters that martial arts expert Chuck Norris was his favourite film actor.

http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,3756908%255E2703,00.html Chinese torture allegations From The Times February 12, 2002 A SENIOR official in China's National Security Ministry has smuggled documents to the West that disclose orders to police chiefs to torture women members of Christian churches as part of a crackdown on religious groups. Jubilee Campaign, a British human rights group, has obtained evidence of the women being abused with electric cattle prods, sexually assaulted and beaten into falsely confessing they were raped by their religious pastors. Death sentences have been passed on several leading Christians in recent months, including a woman who is a member of the South China Church tried in secret in December. The official who leaked the documents is in hiding, fearing for his life. The dossier has been passed to the White House before US President George W. Bush's visit to China this month. Mr Bush has asked to be briefed about the treatment of Christian groups, and human rights groups hope this evidence will persuade him to take tougher action against Beijing. The testimony of these victims, smuggled out of prison at the end of last year, will embarrass Chinese officials who claim they have stopped such brutal tactics after being included in the World Trade Organisation and securing the Olympic Games for Beijing. One woman prisoner, Yang Tongi, signed her testimony with a bloody fingerprint. She says she was seized from a bus and forced to kneel for hours in a prison cell before her interrogation began. She was handcuffed and her captors boasted as they beat her: "We can kill you without causing any problems." She described watching a friend so badly beaten that her fingers were bent out of position and she could not straighten her legs. Zhang Hongjuan, 20, said guards at the Zhong Xiang detention centre shackled her hand and foot and tortured her with an electric prod. "They forcefully unbuttoned my shirt and touched every spot on my chest with the electric club. I yelled at the top of my voice but they moved the club into my mouth to stop me from crying." Others were forced to endure medical examinations as police sought proof they had had sex with their pastor. Tongjin Li said in the same jail she was threatened with sexual assault and a guard jeered: "This is not considered as raping but just coping with people like you." The woman, who is scarred for life, said the attack on her continued for more than 15 hours and stopped only when she revealed a telephone number of a fellow Christian. The Jubilee Campaign has shown The Times some of the original leaked documents from the Ministry of Public Security. They order a ban on a variety of "cults" which they consider a "crawling danger to domestic security and defence". They identify "cults" as any group which has refused to register with the Government and include Catholic and Protestant missions. The documents include a speech by Sun Jianxian, a leading security official, telling his officers to intensify the crackdown which they must keep hidden from "hostile Western powers hastening to continue their strategies of 'westernising' our country". About 129 people have been killed for their religious activities and another 208 crippled by torture.
