p2p and asymmetric bandwidth (Re: Fear and Futility at CodeCon)
I think the asymmetric up/down speed is not as much a problem for peer2peer as anonymous fears. Morpheus has demonstrated that the approach of having a single request served by multiple servers works well. A cable modem users download speed can be merrily supplied by dozens of even dialup, or other cable modem users thin pipe uploads speeds. Morpheus seems to be able to tunnell through even to corporate firewalls with the approach (I presume) that the firewalled / unreachable host maintains a connection to the super-node, and when someone wants to connect to it and can't they connect to the super-node and the super-node tells the unreachable node over the already open connection to connect back to the connecting machine. Of course this can't work (without moving data via the super-node) between two unreachable machines, but the balance seems to be sufficiently in favor of reacable machines that I don't see it currently presents a problem. Adam Anonymous writes: Few impressions after just closed CodeCon 2002 (http://codecon.org) - NATing is successfully choking P2P. All solutions require subpoenable and destroyable proxies. Address space is owned by whoever owns the network. If you have no address you can't publish. - It is to be expected that ISPs will further limit upload bandwidth. Even 50:1 download/upload max bandwidth ratio will not affect bona fide commercial apps and will fuck all P2P big time. This is trivial to do. Upload will become more and more expensive and in some juristictions subject to licensing (WHY DO YOU NEED 20 TEDDY BEARS?)

Fargo's Thought for the Day:* Mail Fargo Developers and Gamers Get Closer GameSpy's Mod Developer's Week has ended, but the contributions that mod-makers are making to gaming won't ever stop. Our feature ends today on a really positive note. Check out Sluggo's write-up of The Westwood Mod College. Here's the story in a nutshell: Westwood, a major AAA game developer, has invited modification coders from all around the world to their studios in Vegas to give them a hands-on with the Command & Conquer: Renegade engine. They want the community to take their game and run with it. Although id Software was the first company to really open up their first-person shooters to the community to tinker with, I credit Half-Life creators Valve Software with the current level of industry support we see for these amateur garage-game developers. Valve's "Mod Expos" showcased peoples' work, they've released documented code dumps to make it easy for people to modify their game, and they've reached out to the community in order to take Counter-Strike from a closet Internet phenomenon to a polished, mainstream product that you can even find on store shelves. It's great because we gamers get nearly unlimited ways to play our favorite games, and would-be game developers have a showcase for their talents on their way to becomming pro. I can't say enough good stuff about this movement ... so I'll stop. - Fargo FilePlanet Daily Download:* More Files Spruce Up Your Desktop, the GameSpy Way!

I think what anonymous is describing is the situation when each and every non-corporate customer is behind a firewall owned by an ISP, corporations shield their employees behind one of their own, where making a profit on non-firewalled connectivity and/or proxies opens one up to expensive lawsuits and where non-firewalled connectivity is too expensive to be widely bought just for non-profit use.

Re: NYTimes.com Article: U.S. Companies File in Bermuda to Slash Tax Bills
At 12:06 AM 02/18/2002 -0500, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This article from NYTimes.com has been sent to you by [EMAIL PROTECTED] I find it difficult to see why citizens should be treated any different then corporations whe it comes to their ability to shelter offshore income from the IRS. Some in fact engage in buy-back transactions but they must be very careful at tax time. [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's simple - corporations are fictitious persons. If you, as a real person, want to stop being a US citizen and move somewhere else that doesn't have an income tax, you can, but it's somewhat difficult and may be a bigger change in your lifestyle than you want. But if a US corporation wants to dissolve and sell its assets to a Bermuda corporation, and have the Bermuda corporation operate in the US as a foreign corporation, while its fictitious person is lying on the beach in the islands, it'll keep a bunch of lawyers and accountants busy for a little while they learn new tricks, but it's not too much more trouble than being a Delaware corporation instead of a California corporation. So what can _you_ do if you want to shelter _your_ income by having it emigrate? If you're a direct employee of a US corporation, like I am, you won't be able to do much about your wages, but if you're a contractor or consultant, you may already own a corporation you're using to bill your customers and pay your business expenses and pay you, so you could replace that with a tax-haven corporation, whether that's Anguillan, Bermudan, Caymans, etc. But you can also create a non-US corporation and use it for your investments. You can't simply put your money in a Caymans bank and have the interest be tax-exempt, because it's still income to you, so the Feds can tax it. But you if you invest your money in a corporation, chartered in some appropriate country, and that corporation put the money in a bank, and earns interest, there's no US connection even though you own the corporation, so until you tell it to pay you dividends, you're not getting taxed, and the interest can compound at full rate instead of after-taxes, which can be a big win if you're getting much interest. Similarly, if the corporation invests in things that make capital gains, those aren't taxable - only the dividends that you as a stockholder get paid are taxable. That doesn't help directly if you've got one winning investment - but if you're in the more typical situation where some of your investments win and some of them lose, and they don't conveniently do so in the same tax year, you're still able to balance them out instead of doing the US lame carryover-loss. All of this is perfectly legal tax avoidance, assuming you do it properly. It used to be more difficult than it is today - but there's now a decent communications infrastructure, and you can do things like get a Visa card on the tax-haven bank account so you don't have to wire money around when you want to spend it, and while it may be more expensive to set up some of these corporations than your typical $50 Delaware Corporation, it's not too expensive compared to the amount a typical Silicon Valley investor of 3-5 years ago could save on tax-sheltering. On the other hand, if all your money is invested in businesses that are losing their shirts, it's a bit less help :-) though it can still be useful for stretching your losses to cover future capital gains. Of course, there are other aspects of overseas corporations as an investment, such as illegal tax evasion, sheltering assets where they're hard to reach in lawsuits and other court judgements, laundering money for Bad People, running scams where the victims' money ends up in your hard-to-reach overseas corporation, ripping of your country's money when you're a politician, scamming people to pay the up-front money to collect the money your relatives allegedly ripped off when they were live politicians, and then the also-occasionally popular sports of running banks or investment corporations in tax-haven countries that fold up and disappear, ripping off their investors. It's much more difficult to get money back in those cases, since you're forced to deal with courts that are far away and may be corrupt, but most of the popular tax-haven countries are good at protecting investors because they want lots of repeat business (or if they're not, they cease being popular pretty fast...)

Anti-Censorship Peek-A-Booty goes public
Source: http://www.tomshardware.com/technews/index.html Peek-A-Booty, cDc's much vaunted anonymity app, is vaporware no more - it went public at the landmark CodeCon conference in San Francisco's DNA Lounge on Sunday. Peek-A-Booty is designed to let surfers access sites blocked by government restrictions, and is essentially, a distributed proxy network. It uses a peer-to-peer model, masking the identity of each node. This means the user can route around censorship that blocks citizens' access to specific IP addresses, because the censor doesn't know they're going there.

REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
Dear Sir/MADAM, REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction. This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. We are top officials of the Federal Government Contract Review Panel who are interested in importation of goods into our country with funds which are presently trapped in Nigeria. In order to commence this business we solicit your assistance to enable us transfer into your account the said trapped funds. The source of this fund is as follows: During the past Military Regimes here in Nigeria, government officials set up companies and awarded themselves contract which were grossly over-invoiced in various Ministries. As a result, the Democratic Government of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo deemed it neccessary to set up a Contract Review Panel to investigate and recommend accordingly. After a thorough investigation, we discovered a lot of inflated contract funds which are presently floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria. We (members) have unanimously agreed to transfer part of these funds to a foreign account However, by virtue of our position as civil servants and members of this Panel, we cannot acquire this money in our names. I have therefore, been delegated as a matter of trust by my colleagues in the Panel to look for an Overseas partner into whose account we would transfer the sum of US$26,400,000.00 (Twenty Six Million, Four Hundred Thousand US. Dollars). Adequate logistics and strategies had been worked out to ensure a successful transfer with your maximum co-operation. Hence we are writing you this letter. We have agreed to share the money thus: 1. 25% for the account owner (you) 2. 65% for us (the officials) 3. 10% to be used in settling taxation and all local and foreign expenses. We wish to commence the importation business with our own share, please note that this transaction is 100% safe and we hope to commence and conclude the transfer latest in ten (10) banking days from the date of receipt of the following information through the above e-mail: your current tel/fax number, your name/company name and address. The above information will enable us write letters of claim and job description respectively and these will be used to apply for payment and doing business with you and solicit your confidentiality in this transaction. Please acknowledge the receipt of this mail as soon possible. I will bring you into the complete picture of this project when I have heard from you. Yours Faithfully, DR.

RE: Slashdot | Americans And Chinese Internet Censorship
Choate: Continuing the.no wonder they hate us so much thread. http://slashdot.org/yro/02/02/19/0122238.shtml?tid=153 This is mostly off the top of my head, so I invite others to add insight/correct mistakes: Riding the opium and human trade, missionaries and Western influence gave China a culture shock, which caused the Taiping Rebellion of 1850 -- 40 million dead. Guerrilla activity lasting through 1864. A man named Hung Hsiu-ch'uan(?) had a religious vision where he was the son of God and the younger brother of Jesus Christ. They called themselves God Worshippers and raised a substantial army. It bled China so bad they had to go to the West for money, because they were fighting Moslem rebels in the North. (As they are today.) Colonial powers used the weakness and leverage to grab Burma (U.K.), Vietnam (French), Manchuria (Russia), etc. and so on, looting the rest of the country. From 1865 on, China was divided up among Western powers and exploited as a trinket-state. The cultural shock created multiple rebellions, anti-foreigner attitudes and internal unrest. In 1900, the Boxer Rebellion slaughtered missionaries. With the 1919 Peking University riots, China had rejected the West. Then came Kai-shek v. Mao and a war with Japan. A century of bloodshed caused by outside influence. I'm not 'making excuses' for China. ~Aimee

ALL NEW VERSION: How to Legally turn $25 into an unlimited CASH income. NOT the same as the old version, take a look! This is a great opportunity for those who want to get ahead, IF not interested please click delete and accept my apologies. Dear Entrepreneur, This is a legal, cash, realistic, no bells and whistles, no highly exaggerated testimonials, NO BALONEY, multi-level marketing program done completely via the internet in the comfort of your own home. Unlike traditional MLM, with this program you will NOT have to attend Any meetings. No experience necessary. No experience necessary. I can't guarantee that you'll get rich with this program, but I can promise you this: If you follow this program faithfully, and are willing to work at it, you will be able to greatly improve the quality of your life. This program is intended for those people who understand that nothing in life is free. This is not a SCAM, it is a BUSINESS, and like all businesses, you must work in order to make it successful. If you are honestly willing to put forth some effort, and have a little patience, you can earn enough money to improve your life considerably. Before we go any further, let's get to the most FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Q: The only thing I've ever heard about Multi LevelMarketing programs is that they don't work. Why is this one any different? A: First of all, many MLMs do work, (just not nearly as well as they claim to work). However, the average MLM has LOTS of problems. First off, they claim you can get rich in months by just working a few minutes a day. Obviously, that is totally false, and insults the intelligence of the reader. This program works because it's truthful and people are much more likely to respond to reality vs. outrageous promises. Q: I've heard about another MLM that's floating around and I think the subject title is the same, or at least, very similar to this one. Are these programs identical? A: No, they are not. There is, however, an older version of this program, still in circulation. That program is distinctly different from this one and is not affiliated with us. To be certain you have received the correct reports, be sure that the numbering on the reports is as follows: #1A, #2A, #3A, #4A and #5A. The letter A after each number assures you of the correct report. Q: Tell me exactly how this program works. A: This program is extremely simple. In essence, you purchase 5 reports from the 5 people listed in this letter. Each report costs $5.00. Upon receipt of your $5.00, each of the 5 people will send you a report. These reports give you detailed, explicit information on how to send this intro letter (the one you are reading right now) to millions of people FREE or at minimal expense via email. Let's assume you start out small and send out only 5000 emails. With a 0.001% response that means that you sell only 5 people reports:*** 1st level - You sell 5 reports for $5.00 each. You receive $25.00 cash. 2nd level - Each of the 5 people you recruited will recruit 5 new members. That's 25 people x 5 new recruits each = 125 people. Which is 125 people x $5.00 ea. = you receive $625.00. 3rd level - Those 125 people recruit 5 new members each. That's 125 people x 5 new recruits each = 625 people. Which is 625 people x $5.00 ea. = you receive $3,125. 4th level - Those 625 people recruit 5 new members each. That's 625 people x 5 new recruits each = 3,125 people. Which is 3,125 people x $5.00 ea. = you receive $15,625. 5th level - Those 3,125 people recruit 5 new members each. That's 3,125 people x 5 new recruits each = 15,625 people. Which is 15,625 x $5.00 ea. = you receive $78,125. ***Rather than exaggerate, our suggestion that you will only sell 5 reports is extremely low. You can expect significantly greater sales. Many people will send out hundreds of thousands of emails instead of just 5000. Q: Hold on, that's way too good to be true - it's not possible to make almost $80,000 based on a sale of only 5 reports. What's going on? A: You're right. It is too good to be true. In a perfect world, everyone you recruit would faithfully follow the program. No one would cheat. Everyone would send out their fair share of emails (and not rely on the others on your list to do all the work). But, it's not a perfect world, and you won't make $80,000 based on just a handful of sales. However, if everyone did as they were instructed, we COULD do extraordinarily well. However, in spite of the cheaters and the quitters, you WILL sell many, many reports, and some of the people you sell those reports to WILL work the program - and you will directly profit! Q: I don't know very much about computers, do you have to be very computer savvy to do this? A: No. You don't need to to be a computer expert, however if you are, this will be even easier. The reports are written in plain, easy to understand

This added to the general frustration and aggression and let demagogues kick off rebellions and revolutions.
