What a wonderful tool for all the Enrons and Worldcoms and all the PACs out there.
A public company sends it's SEC documents to SEC. Settings: Open next next day at 10:30 am.
An analyst got this mail with an other setting: Open once, then destroy mail.
This analyst can mail the CEO/CFO of this company that he will rate this company as "strong buy". The Settings are: Not printable, only visible for 24h - then delete There is no evidence of insider trading. "Evil managers" get a "secure" tool to do evil things. Without a proof the is no court case!
I blackmail a company for baby food. Settings: not printable, read only once, delete after 120 seconds
A big big company/lobby organisation mails a politican: "Hey make this law like we mailed you last year and we donate you 200k USD" Settings: not printable, read once and destroy mail
These are only some paranoid ideas, I think you got your own ideas.
With december I mean the time around x-mas and Sylvester. I think I will take "will-u-marry-me.org" this year.
Then I can use these subdomains:
ann.will-u-marry-me.org rhonda.will-u-marry-me.org marry.will-u-marry-me.org jane.will-u-marry-me.org debbie.will-u-marry-me.org [Name of future ex girlfriend].will-u-marry-me.org
I think my actual girlfriend will be verry happy when I show her, "her" website.:-)
Don't transfer domains in december! Everyone orders "new" domains, the registrars do their normal job (connecting the new domains) and later in their spare time do the transfer of "old" domains.
Transfer your domain in the last week of january or in the first week of februar.
No doubt, the Chinese have a lot of good software programmers.
Can we now expect some chinese viri or worms from some chinese programmers gone bad? Because they got inside knowledge of the windows sources and can see the weak points (read: vulnerabilities).
This is just a question. NoSuchGuy

In other news the RIAA accused of theft of 300,000,000 (three hundred million) MP3s (4MB each MP3). The lawyers of the RIAA demand a compensation of 150,000 USD per stolen song. This summs up to 45,000,000,000,000,000 USD or 45 trillion USD. That is 9 times the GNP of the USA in 1998. The shares of the RIAA members are going balistic.
Further more these lawyers argue there is no legimate use of 1200GB of disk space for a private person.
Ups sorry, AOL is definitly not geekish enough. Maybe MSN 8.0 on a Pentium 90 with 32MB of RAM and a Mediaplayer 9.0 Update. Is this geekish enough?:-)

Ask yourself do you life in an "real" democracy? Is this realy true?
You are always told you live in a demoracy.
The only time you have dircet influence or impact on a democracy is when you can vote. But what about your vote? Who counts your vote? You, the people or some private company? What technology is used? Who controlls this company this technology? Who does a check of the results the company gives to the public (TV stations, newspapers...)?
Almost exactly one year ago we had public elections in Germany.And you know what: ALL VOTES WERE COUNTED IN PUBLIC BY HAND!
My mother was the boss of such a polling station. There were about 400 ballot papers to count. They thought they were finisched with counting and did a check like (how many ballots cast == how many votes counted) and discovered an error. So they counted again. One hour later everything was okay.
Also in the US every vote should be equal. Is this alway true?
You give your right away to technical solutions that differ about +/-5% if the same ballots are counted again! If I were to vote in the US, I would demand a counting by hand. Fuck the TV stations that want an excact result 15 minutes past the closing of the last ballot station! You don't have to use a technology only because some company promotes it's use.
For the sake of your democracy step forward and demand a manual counting of your votes!
That is not possible? Why because there a companies lobbying for their ultimate "Vote-A-Matic"? These products only cost the money of all the taxpayers. A counting of the votes by the public costs nothing! Many people volunteer for counting the votes.
Is there vote fraud in Germany? Of course there is but you can uncover ist better, because there is a manual counting of the votes. The result of every ballot station is published in newspapers and the internet. If you doubt the rsults of a specific ballot station, you can demand a recount!
Demand a manual counting of your votes in the US!
These are my thoughts of your lost demoracy.

Both, Linus and Alan have named it "Linux" and not "GNU/Linux". So I belive I can call it "Linux" from now on and not "GNU/Linux" like Stallman want's me to call it.
Or did Linus and Alan both only called it "Linux" because they didn't want to confuse the MPs?
Is there a "Letter of Understanding" between the DoJ / DHS and Global Crossing? Can the DHS demand connection details from a specific (muslim/strange/terrorist) IP adress?
I am sure there is such thing. The "Deutsche Telekom" singed such a deal with the FBI because the FBI did not want to loose the ability to wiretap "bad guys" that used VoiceStream.
Every now and then Gates does something nice or friendly or inclusive. Maybe it's for humanitarian purposes such as through his foundation. Maybe it's motivated by a need for better PR. Maybe it's motivated by something else. Doesn't matter.

Why should it matter to me?
