Revising the Internet Email Infrastructure

Lauren Weinstein writes "People For Internet Responsibility (PFIR) today released a white paper aimed at starting discussion and work to fundamentally revamp Internet e-mail systems to control spam, forgeries, and a range of other problems, while empowering e-mail users rather than ISPs." Excellent start.

    Let's talk stools.

    The stool tells you a lot about your colon health. If it's dark brown in color, and it sinks, and it stinks, that's not good. And don't feel bad, that's the way most people are. What you want to see is light brown color, which means it's full of fresh bile from the liver, very mild odor, and a stool that floats. We're talking low-density here folks. The more compaction you have the darker the color and the faster it sinks. Compaction is not good. Also, moving bowels should be SIMPLE. If the veins are popping out of your neck and you feel like your doing the bench press, you NEED to cleanse your colon.

    When you do the cleanse, for the first few days....things are a little weird. But you know you're cleansed when you see the above good stuff happening, and you are eliminating at least 2-3 times per day.

    Cleansing your colon is a 30-day process. No need to change your current diet. Its also very economical at under $52. You may be very surprised at some of the benefits you will receive besides just losing 1-5 lbs of cr*p from your body and brightening your future health.

    People have reported more energy, less allergies, clearing of acne, cessation of migraines, and many other results, not to mention restored regularity. When your body is void of old, poisonous toxins that are constantly being reabsorbed through the colon walls, it can begin to heal again. And when the colon walls are clean, the good nutrients from your food and supplements can be absorbed again. You will be thrilled with the results.

    Anyhow, today was un-eventfull. I keep thinking that I'm going to do something profound in my life. Sometimes I wish I didn't have ambitions. I mean, I wish I could want to get a regular job, at some average company. I don't there to be suprises in my life. What I'm about to say, might be shocking for someone of my age to say, but here it goes...I want to have a wife, have about two or three kids, a dog, and live in the suburbs with a nice little white-picket fence. There could fourth of july barbques, and neighbors would show up with hot dogs and hamburgers. The kids could play touch football, and later we could all see the fireworks. It would be normal. The kids would be intelligent, but still have strong suits, and weak areas in school and life. They would grow up, and go to college. The would eventually have kids of their own, and I'd see my grandkids every couple of months. I would move away from suburbia, to a place with other seniors. We would complain about stuff, and get early bird dinner specials, and go to sleep at around eight thirty. I would die of natural causes, at around eighty or eighty five. I would be buried by the old cemetary, across town. My kids and their kids would show up. My wife would pass away soon after. That would be a nice life wouldn't it? I would like to get there, without all the hardwork. Working at a deadend job, hoping for a promotion, but sticking through it. Once I would get the promotion, this dream life would take place. For some odd reason, for as long as I can remember, I've wanted to be remembered. That's why I want to do something interesting and profound, so once I do that, then the dream life would happen. But, once I die, and old friend of mine would get a call on the phone, saying that I had died, or read about it somewhere. Then they would think "I remember that guy." If I could only see that happen, I would be in heaven right there, if that ever happens. Of course, If I am dead, I probably wouldn't see that moment. I'm not sure what I'd give to see that though...

    Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

    And I also get an excellent start when awaken in the morning and have to take a morning shit. First one pops right out. It's a little small, but a nominal start. It's all excellent until the second turd gets stuck halfway out my butt and doesn't want to go the rest of the way. I'm a patient man, so I wait a minute or so, but it's no-go. It's stuck. Then I have to pinch it off, and wind up smearing part of it all in my crack. Then I have to wipe for like fifteen hours, and I still never get rid of all of it until I take another shower and stand there with the water going full-stream and boiling hot right down the crack of my poop-chute.

    Players and Equipment

    Three in One is best for 4 to 7 players (and is possible for 2 to 9). It requires a standard deck of 52 cards, the cards ranking in each suit, from low to high: 2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-J-Q-K-A. You also need a supply of chips for betting, and a board or cloth marked out to receive the various stakes. The layout looks something like this:

    3 in 1 layout
    The Deal and Placing the Stakes

    Before the deal, each player must place nine chips on the board - one on each of the labelled spaces: ace of hearts, king of hearts, queen of hearts, jack of hearts, ten of hearts, king-queen of hearts, 8-9-10, kitty and pot. It may be that some of these spaces already contain unclaimed chips from previous deals; in this case the new chips are added to these.

    The dealer then deals out the cards one at a time, clockwise, to form one hand for each player plus a spare hand. The spare hand does not belong to anyone. Some players will have one more card than others.

    If as dealer you do not like your hand you can exchange it for the spare hand. You are not allowed to look at the spare hand before deciding whether to swap. If you do swap, your whole original hand is discarded face down and becomes the spare (you cannot combine cards from the two hands).

    Alternatively, the dealer can offer the spare hand unseen for sale to the highest bidder. The person (if any) who buys the spare hand discards their own original hand face down and pays the dealer in chips the amount bid for the spare hand; if you auction the spare hand and no one wants to buy, you still have the option to swap your hand for the unseen kitty. Another possibility is to exchange your hand for the spare and then auction your old hand to the highest bidder. What you cannot do is exchange your hand for the spare and then exchange back - once you look at the spare hand you have to keep it.
    First Stage - collecting stakes for pay cards

    Anyone who holds the ace, king, queen, jack or ten of hearts takes all the chips from that space.

    If a player has the king and queen of hearts, that player takes the chips from the king-queen space, in addition to the chips from the king and queen spaces.

    The chips in the 8-9-10 space can be taken by a player who has an 8-9-10 sequence in one suit (for example spade8-spade9-spade10). The 8, 9 and 10 must all be in the same suit, but the suit does not have to be hearts. If two or more players have 8-9-10 in different suits they share the chips in the 8-9-10 space equally, leaving any remainder on the layout for the next winner.

    Usually the chips in some of the spaces are unclaimed - these are left on the layout to be won in a future hand. Since more chips are added to each space at the start of each hand, the king-queen and 8-9-10 spaces, which are less often claimed, tend to produce higher winnings when someone does have the right cards.
    Second Stage - Poker

    Before the stops play begins, there is a round of poker. Everyone selects five cards from their hand that they wish to play poker with, separates them from the rest of their hand, and temporarily puts the other cards aside. You do not necessarily have to select the cards that form your best poker hand (you may have cards that you do not want to reveal until the stops part of the game, especially if you play the variation where stakes are collected from the layout in stage three rather than stage one). If you are not familiar with poker combinations, see the ranking of poker hands page for details.

    All poker bets are placed in the pot space of the layout. The player to dealer's left begins the betting, and can either bet (putting an additional chip or chips in the pot) or check. If the first player checks, the next player can bet or check, and so on clockwise around the table. If everyone checks, all the poker hands are exposed and the player with the highest hand takes the pot.

    If a player bets, it is no longer possible for subsequent players to check. After a

    "Free as in free" isn't necessarily better, especially where security is concerned. A good example of this is qmail -- djb offers a guarantee that it is secure, and he can do that because he wrote qmail entirely himself. If he was accepting code from around the world, it would be much harder for him to provide such a guarantee; and if qmail was changing as rapidly as many open source programs, it would be impossible.

    Open source means that lots of people can fix bugs; it also means that lots of people can introduce bugs. For security critical applications, I'd prefer to use code which was written carefully by a single person or small group of people whom I trust, rather than using code contributed by a large number of effectively anonymous people whom I don't know.
