Re:Holy shit!
(Sorry... I know you were probably just riffing on the recursive acronym)
AFAIK, Elm doesn't support S/MIME nor GPG/PGP (though you can pipe stuff out to gpg to view the plain text, obviously). I'm not even sure Elm is Y2K compliant (according to http://www.instinct.org/elm/, "Update 06th Jan 2000: elm 2.4 is not Y2K compliant."). There are other, and more modern, terminal based email clients that may be worth mentioning. And there are older mail clients that also don't support S/MIME ("mail" from mailutils). -
Re:Lynx
I'd like to see an average windows user try to use w3m. Mostly because it might just work.

Pine Problems and Alternatives
It's not that pine is not GPL, it's that pine is altogether Not Free Software. Specifically, the University of Washington will not allow anyone to distribute modified versions, they've even threatened to sue people who do this with older versions of Pine. This makes it hard to work the software into a distribution like Red Hat, and even harder to want to.
Personally, I use Mutt, and I love it. Other people seem equally pleased with elm. With both of these clients, "all you need is an xterm".
If you really prefer Pine, there are two projects to create an Free replacement for it: Hydrant and OSERP. I don't know how far along and usable either project is. If you just miss Pico, there's an excellent Free clone called Nano, which is very usable and included in most Linux distros already. -
No foolproof system, but some really foolish ones
And high-tech should be able to help an election
Keeping it low-tech has one advantage: a hand count is done by people who are in the presence of others. Automated vote-counting can be rigged by programmers and excused by businessmen. An excerpt from Bev Harris' book Black Box Voting details over 100 incidents where automated voting went wrong, and has an extensive list of sources. Read it!

www.windows2000test.com finally hacked? ;-)So, was www.windows2000test.com (website now offline, mirror here) finally hacked?
;-)The award for the "hackme" LinuxPPC contest was that you could get the hardware, but I didn't know that with the www.windows2000test.com you would get the whole Windows source code!

Re:Dorks
I wasn't saying this was something that I could do. I was simply saying I have seen far harder things accomplished with complete anonymity, by people who aren't so stuck on themselves. I could really care less about his little project in particular. Here are some essays and information from the "University of Reverse Engineering". They make cphack look like little kid stuff. They even have some Linux software cracking..

Re:Tesla doesn't get nearly enough credit
Well, you can read some about Edison on Project Gutenberg's "Edison, His Life and Inventions". Tesla is mentioned once.

Be anon, stay anonSnagged my IP, eh?
Set your proxy to nrl.onion-router.net:9200.
Read about AT&T Crowds, about TAZ-WWW, see the Proxy Mate, see the COTSE anonymizer or look what fravia has to say about anonymity.

RAR seems like a bad choice.
I can't find any description of what encryption algorithm RAR uses on their web pages or anywhere else. That usually means it's a home-grown piece of crap. Furthermore, the password is limited to 10 characters, so it's weak. See On Cryptosystems untrustworthiness or this page on Russian Password Crackers including a couple of RAR crackers to get the picture about how bad the situation is.
Use PGP, or ScramDisk, or SFS, or similar systems which at least tell you what algorithms they're using.

Re:Thanks cDcReading this article made me realise how much things have changed in the last 5 years. On the one hand I'm making money creating coroprate sites - on the other hand I miss the days when every time you turned your head, you found another FTP repository of bizarre text files ranging from Blue Box plans to ideas for wolrd domination.
Aye. In maah deh, y'cud phown t'gels on chatlahn, crack t'lettest version of 'pache and still 'av tahm for a kebab on way home.

Fravia's Pages of Reverse Engineering
Fravia's Pages of Reverse Engineering are perhaps the most comprehensive pages on the net that cover all sorts of different aspects of the subject. It's great - everything is written in a friendly way and there's absolutely loads of information there.

FreeBSD ISOsI've compiled a list of places you can download the FreeBSD CD images:
http://www.instinct.org/~pgl/freebsd-i sos.html
There are a few sites out there that carry the full set of CDs, and the official distribution site has the first and most important CD image (ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub
/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/).

Re:!FreeAs far as I am aware, reverse engineering cannot be prohibited in Europe (please correct me if I'm wrong: I found that reference just this minute & haven't checked it out thoroughly). This may explain the clause in the agreement:
You may not remove any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices from the Software or the media. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software, except to the extent Compaq cannot prohibit such acts by law.
That said, however, the Digital guys, and latterly Compaq, have been very supportive of Linux on Alpha, and I don't think they're trying to pull a fast one here. Weaseling out of this agreement would be a breach of faith, and they as a company have a lot to offer the Linux community. Don't piss through your own letterboxes, people.
