Tyrants getting you down?

Is your world over run by and in the grips of tyrants?
Do the fleece you? Rip you off? tax you blind?
Do the force you to pay protection?
Run rough shod on all you own?
If so speak out against the Cor-pirational rip off thieves!!!!

there was a time long ago when power hungry bushites did not have total power. and control extort and steel all that they could possibly find.
no the world had it problems before the gestaponazi cor-pirations controlled and stole all that was good. fleest all the money from everyone. To line their war chests so they could steal and control more. they stole from friends and allies as often as from others. their morals were non existent. they were dreaded in there own quest for greed.

Cor-pirations and the need for greed. was their motto

The Microsoft Protection Racket (Cor-piration)

FYI...

- http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1869377,00.asp
"Does Microsoft think it is going to get away with charging real money for any sort of add-on, service, or new product that protects clients against flaws in its own operating system? Does the existence of this not constitute an incredible conflict of interest? Why improve the base code when you can sell "protection"? Is Frank Nitti the new CEO?...Now if all this new protection software is Microsoft's way of throwing in the towel and admitting that it has failed to secure the OS and cannot guarantee that it will ever secure the OS, then why isn't it simply included with the Windows XP package in the first place?...

Microsoft talks about how when it releases Vista, there will be various versions such as Home, Small Business, Enterprise, and so on. Why doesn't the company just bite the bullet and bring out various exploitable versions? Here are some suggestions:
Vista – Won't Boot Edition… $29.95
Vista – Preloaded with Viruses and Spyware Edition… $39.95
Vista – Initially Clean but Use at Your Own Risk Edition… $49.95
Vista – Clean with Firewall and Weekly Protection Update Edition… $200
You get the idea. How about this for a concept: One Version that Works Edition."

Godwin's law

Godwin's law (also Godwin's rule of Nazi analogies) is an adage in Internet culture that was originated by Mike Godwin in 1990. The law states that:

As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.

There is a tradition in many Usenet newsgroups that once such a comparison is made, the thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups. Many people understand Godwin's law to mean this, although (as is clear from the statement of the law above) this is not the original formulation.

It is considered poor form to arbitrarily raise such a comparison with the motive of ending the thread. There is a widely-recognized codicil that any such deliberate invocation of Godwin's law will be unsuccessful.

Chinese Dissident Writes To Yahoo

Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo has written an open letter to Yahoo regarding their collaboration with the government of China.
http://cicus.org/news/newsdetail.php?id=5421

http://www.spywareinfo.net/sept10,2005#lenin

An Open Letter to

Jerry Yang, Chairman of Yahoo! Inc.

Regarding the Arrest of Shi Tao

Mr. Yang,

My name is Liu Xiaobo. I was born in Changchun, China, in 1955, and am now a freelance writer in Beijing.

I can't address you as the "respectful Mr. Yang", because I write this letter for the sake of my friend Shi Tao, who is now in a Chinese prison.

In preparation for writing this letter, I read your resume for the first time and learned that you co-created the Yahoo! Internet navigational guide in April 1994, along with David Filo, and co-founded Yahoo! Inc. in April 1995, which has now developed into a world famous Internet enterprise. In terms of social status you are the rising star of the cyber economy, and in terms of wealth you rank as one of the top magnates of the world.

In China, where wealth has become more important than anything else, you are better known even than in the United States. Though you are an American rather than a Chinese, you have been listed among the entries of highly esteemed Chinese figures (http://www.1619.com.cn/guiren/) and your biography can be found on every major Internet portal in China. The websites that post your photo, some with a sunshiny smile, some of deep meditation and others with a look of overwhelming power, have become top destinations for members of the young generation who are mesmerized by your success, your wealth and your legendary adventures. Recently, the combination of Yahoo! China with China's second-largest Internet auctioneer, Alibaba, has become one of the hottest headlines in the Chinese media, and the audience has been amazed to hear that you spent a billion dollars to purchase a 40 percent stake in that

XSS vulnerabilities commonplace on the Web

Found in over 90 percent of Web sites, Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities are by far the most common security issue,' Jeremiah Grossman, cofounder and CTO of WhiteHat Security, told BetaNews. 'The incident with MySpace illustrates the dangers presented by XSS vulnerabilities and underscores the importance for organizations to fix these issues.' "

" 'Those who do not, especially the online financial institutions and community Web sites, are prime targets,' added Grossman. But Samy noted that MySpace isn't the only party to blame for the vulnerability, stating that browser makers also need to do a better job with security."

How To Reduce That Annoying Web Traffic

Do you have too many people visiting your Web site? Yeah, I had that problem too. All that traffic clogs the routers, and server hard disks are only so fast, y'know. It's an unfortunate side effect of the Web being "worldwide." Well, worry not, folks. I'm going to pass along some secrets that some of the Web's greatest geniuses have perfected--methods that will so thoroughly annoy your visitors that they'll never return. I've found that these techniques keep me from having to fill those annoying orders, which frees up more time so I can finally solve Freecell game number 26322.

Camera to take snapshot of reef water quality

Marine scientists are to drop a camera onto the Great Barrier Reef in a new experiment to monitor sea temperatures and water quality.

The Australian Institute of Marine Science's Reef Futures Group will position the camera after the wet season on Davies Reef, off Townsville.

Scientist Stuart Kininmonth says the computer technology has been available for some time, but it has finally become affordable.

He says new computer technology will let researchers monitor changes such as coral bleaching in real time.

Spyware Law Needs Civil Penalties a good rant!!

Spyware Law Needs Civil Penalties

Permalink | Top

Someone posted a very interesting response at the message board to a recent newsletter. In that newsletter, I called on Congress to outlaw the behavior of spyware, not the technology behind it.

The poster referred to the Computer Misuse Act, which recently came into force in the United Kingdom. It is very similar to the laws which I requested. He pointed out a problem with this law. The law will not be enforced unless a government computer is effected. If it is a small business or a home computer, the Crown Prosecution Service will not bring charges against whomever is responsible.
http://www.spywareinfo.com/newsletter/archives/2005/oct20.php

This led me to realize that I forgot to bring up an issue when I was talking about the spyware bills here in America. Every draft of every spyware bill that I have seen moving through the Congress makes it clear that citizens cannot bring action against a spyware peddler. Only the FTC, the US Attorney or the Attorney-General of a state may bring action against someone for violating the Federal antispyware law.

That is a significant failure of every one of those proposed bills and I can't believe that I forgot to mention it. What it means is that, if your computer becomes so infected by spyware that it must be reformatted to bring it back to a useable state, you cannot file a lawsuit against the people responsible, even if they clearly have violated the antispyware law. Instead, you must go to your state's Attorney-General, hat in hand, and humbly request that the law be enforced.

CAN-SPAM has had a few successes. I will, grudgingly, admit that. However, one of the reasons it is largely ineffective is that it doesn't allow people to sue spammers. An ISP can sue a spammer. The FTC or a state Attorney-General can sue a spammer. The poor shlobs who are forced to hammer the delete button every day cannot do that.

The best consumer protection laws, in my own humble opinion, are those that allow regular people to enforce them by providing for civil penalties. Imagine if you had to run to your Attorney-General every time someone broke a contract. Contracts work because individuals can sue those who violate them. That is why people tend to obey a contract. It is too risky not to do so.

The Desolation of Nuram

by Mara Jade, age 13

An Adventure in the desolated mines of Nuram

This is an RPG (and I mean the serious kind). No blonde cheerleader types, or I shall kill the character as brutally and as slowly as possible. That is prejudiced but there needs to be a balance among the storybooks.

This universe is a young universe, with the magic still in it. In one star system (known to the inhabitants as the First Realm) civilization flourishs like Atlantis of our own world. The First Realm's elfworld, Arda (for each world is inhabited by a different peoples, but I have to explain some history) is currently ruled by Queen Galadrien, the warrior queen of the lotus shield. All is at peace, for Galadrien's beloved daughter and son, fair Elendiriel and perilous Miaran, have sacrificed their lives to close the rift in the valley of Calarest. A rift is a door into other worlds, a sort of stargate, only less crude and machine. The rifts are always natural in this universe-- unless created by a master mage.

The Risk and Cost of Hoaxes and Chain Letters

Saturday, August 27, 2005
WHY I NEVER FORWARD THOSE CUTE E-MAILS YOU SEND ME
The Risk and Cost of Hoaxes and Chain Letters

The cost and risk associated with hoaxes and chain letters may not seem to be that high, and isn't when you consider the cost of handling one instance on one machine. However, if you consider everyone that receives a hoax or chain letter, that small cost gets multiplied into some pretty significant figures. For example, if everyone on the Internet were to receive one message and spend one minute reading and discarding it, the cost would be something like:

500,000,000 people X 1/60 hour X $50/hour = $417 million

Hussein Pleads Not Guilty to Charges

By Jackie Spinner, Omar Fekeiki and Ellen Knickmeyer
Washington Post Foreign Service
Wednesday, October 19, 2005; 10:30 AM

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Oct. 19 -- Defiantly and noisily, former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein appeared for the start of his mass murder trial Wednesday morning, refusing to identify himself except as "president of the Iraqi state" and ultimately pleading not guilty to the charges against him.

After several raucous hours, which included a brief shoving incident between Hussein and a guard, the proceeding was adjourned until Nov. 28.

"I'm not guilty," Hussein said. "Innocent" said each of his co-defendants.

The tribunal will use a mixture of international law and Iraqi criminal law in conducting the trial.

quite slanted to us favor.

When the trial resumes, the prosecution would begin outlining its case, calling witnesses and presenting evidence. That phase could last several months, the same sources said. But few expect it to drag out for years.

well sadams no angel.
the usa kick torcher squads are not so grate them selfs.

i like how they have dubbled the price of oil something opec never could. and why to bring the price inline with the oils being stolen from iraq to make the venture seem more profitible.

Your printer is spying on you!!

By Ed Oswald, BetaNews
October 18, 2005, 3:16 PM
Researchers with the Electronic Frontier Foundation claimed Monday they have broken a code that some color laser printers print with every page. According to the group, the Secret Service has admitted they encoded the data into the pages in order to track counterfeiters, however the data stored in the code was not known before the discovery.

In one line of printers, the date and time the print was made, as well as the serial number of the printer were encoded into the document. The dots appear on printers by Xerox, Canon, HP and others, of which the group provided a list.

List of Printers Which Do or Don't Print Tracking Dots

Last updated: October 13, 2005

This is a list in progress of color laser printer models that do or do not print yellow tracking dots on their output.

Remember that a "no" simply means that we couldn't see yellow dots; it does not prove that there is no forensic watermarking present. (For example, the HP Color LaserJET 8500 series does not include any yellow tracking dots that we can see, but it may still include some kind of forensic marking, since the majority of earlier CLJ models did.)

In the face of growing public concern about Ottawa's plans for legislation to grant law-enforcement authorities vast new surveillance powers, Prime Minister Paul Martin last week tried to assure Canadians that their privacy and civil rights would be respected. Responding to questions about the so-called "lawful access" initiative, Martin remarked that "when the government brings forth this kind of legislation obviously the question of civil rights is first and foremost in our minds and they will be protected."

Bread and fortunes rise at St. John's mission bakery

Bread and fortunes rise at St. John's mission bakery
Poor, ill, jobless find healing in baking

Business expanding, thanks to United Way
bread.
It's the staff of life that nourishes both body and soul at St. John's Bakery.

The fragrant aroma of fresh-baked loaves wafts from the basement of St. John the Compassionate Mission on Broadview Ave. There, in the tiny space with the low ceilings the homeless, the poor, those struggling with addictions or physical and mental illness, refugees, the jobless and those who'd lost hope have been rolling up their sleeves to bake bread.

A Chill Hits Feverish Biotech Stocks

A Chill Hits Feverish Biotech Stocks
Every fall, the biotechnology industry used to get a predictable lift from an annual conference on infectious diseases where biotech companies report their latest drug research. A hint of success in the lab or in patient testing for one or two new drugs would elevate the whole risky sector.

Spyware can constitute illegal trespass on home computers

Spyware can constitute illegal trespass on home computers
A federal trial court in Chicago has ruled recently that the ancient legal doctrine of trespass to chattels (meaning trespass to personal property) applies to the interference caused to home computers by spyware. Information technology has advanced at warp speed with the law struggling to keep up, and this is an example of a court needing to use historical legal theories to grapple with new and previously unforeseen contexts in Cyberspace.

Software developers should be held personally accountable for the security of the code they write

Software developers should be held personally accountable for the security of the code they write, said Howard Schmidt, a former White House cybersecurity adviser.

Speaking Tuesday at the SecureLondon 2005 conference, Schmidt, who is now CEO of R&H Security Consulting, also called for better training for software developers. He said he believes that many developers don't have the skills needed to write secure code.

"In software development, we need to have personal quality assurances from developers that the code they write is secure," said Schmidt, who cited the example of some developers he recently met who had created a Web application to talk to a back-end database using SSL.

Privatizing Social Security Would Drive Millions Below Poverty Line - Report

Haider Rizvi, OneWorld US Fri Oct 14, 2:39 PM ET

NEW YORK, Oct 14 (OneWorld) - While
President George W. Bush continues to assert that Americans would be better off with
Social Security in private hands,(BULL SH*T!!) a new study shows that privatization of the country's 70-year-old benefit program would drive millions of people into poverty.
Privatization would have dangerous implications for African Americans, Latinos, women, children, people with disabilities, and low income workers, according to the Leadership Council for Civil Rights (LCCR), one of the nation's oldest rights advocacy groups, which carried out the study.

Anti-RFID rally at Wal-Mart this Saturday in Dallas

Dear CASPIAN Members and supporters:

I'm flying into Dallas today for a showdown in the Lone Star State.

It's time to take a stand against spychipping companies and their RFID
tagging activities, and Wal-Mart is at the top of our list. They've
begun brazenly selling RFID-tagged items right under the noses of Texas
shoppers, and it needs to stop.

We're organizing this weekend to send Wal-Mart a clear message:

"Don't mess with Texas! No Spychips in the Store!"

My Spychips co-author, Liz McIntyre, and I will be on hand to help local
CASPIAN members alert the public and the media to Wal-Mart's use of RFID
in stores. We will lead a rally outside of a Dallas Wal-Mart Super
Center Saturday to raise awareness of RFID and demand that the company
immediately stop selling spychipped products.

For more details, see:
http://www.spychips.com/protest/walmart/walmart-protest-details.html

Wal-Mart is the 800-pound gorilla of the retail industry, and other
retailers follow its lead. (We've just learned that Best Buy is
considering item-level RFID tagging for 2006. We're betting they'll
rethink those plans once they get hit with a consumer backlash of their
own!) By taking a stand now, we can prevent the spread of these tags.

I have organized five protests since I founded CASPIAN in 1999, and
every one has been a completely positive experience. People bring their
families, their golden retrievers, and their shared love of freedom, and
they leave with the satisfaction that only comes from taking a stand for
what's right. That's a lot in this increasingly apathetic world. And it
feels great.

We now have over 10,000 CASPIAN members around the world and plan to
work with local communities to organize similar events elsewhere. We
know you will prove us right when we say that Americans and people
everywhere else across the globe will fight back against big corporate
plans to number and track us all.

Let's show them that it won't be as easy as they think.

In freedom and with high hopes,

Katherine Albrecht

Track Your Every Move with RFID"

=====================================================================
Background information about RFID Spychips

What are RFID spychips?

RFID stands for Radio Frequency IDentification. RFID uses tiny computer
chips, some smaller than a grain of sand, to track items from a
distance. Big business and big government want RFID chips to replace the
bar code. The chips can be embedded in ATM cards, sewn into the seams
of pants, or woven into shirt labels without their owners' knowledge.
The information on these chips can be read secretly, without your
permission, right through your purse, backpack or wallet.

Why Fight RFID?

Big business wants to use RFID to chip, number and track every item on
the planet -- every can of Coke, every car tire, every book, every
garment. They want to know where everything is at all times. By
association, they will be able to know very private details about the
people who buy, wear and interact with those products.

It's Already Started

Wal-Mart is already putting spychips on products. They've been caught
putting RFID tags in Lipfinity lipstick boxes, and just last week we
found an RFID tag on Hewlett-Packard printer/scanner packages in TEXAS!
You can see what we found by visiting our site at

Michipicoten Bay

AMPAIGN UPDATE

Your efforts helped get Michipicoten Bay on the EBR Registry!

On March 18th we sent an action alert about preserving Lake Superior's coastline at Michipicoten Bay from the threats of trap rock mining. Thanks to all of you who wrote a letter as we just learned that the Ontario Ministry of the Environment will be posting the proposal by Superior Aggregate on the EBR (Environmental Bill of Rights) Registry, which means there will be an official comment period on this proposed project. Getting this kind of posting is rare, and this, according to the ministry, is the first quarry that would be subjected to an environmental assessment in Ontario. Look forward to an action alert in the coming weeks to ensure we flood the Ministry with our support for protecting this area!

Heritage Coast needs your help

Regional disparities in environmental laws threaten Lake Superior's beautiful north shore at Michipicoten Bay near Wawa, Ont.

ONTARIO MINISTRY OF NATURAL RESOURCES
A U.S.-based company plans to turn private land that includes 2.5 kilometres of Superior shoreline into a aggregate mine for roadway construction.

Anyone who has travelled along the north shore of Lake Superior knows the beauty of this place of sparkling waters and mountains of rugged Canadian Shield rock, interrupted only by glorious sandy bays. It is one of those special places on this earth that reaches in and touches your soul.

Books And Thoughts

by Aldous Huxley

Old ghosts that death forgot to ferry
Across the Lethe of the years -
These are my friends, and at their tears
I weep and with their mirth am merry.
On a high tower, whose battlements

Give me all heaven at a glance,
I lie long summer nights in trance,
Drowsed by the murmurs and the scents
That rise from earth, while the sky above me
Merges its peace with my soul's peace,
Deep meeting deep. No stir can move me,
Nought break the quiet of my release:

In vain the windy sunlight raves
At the hush and gloom of polar caves.

RIAA total greedite cor-pirateion

Digital Music Market More than Triples
The International Federation of the Phornographic Industry (IFPI)
reported yesterday that the market for legally downloaded digital music
has tripled since last year.

During the first
half of 2005, overall recorded music sales fell a modest 1.9 percent
but still accounted for a whopping $13.2 billion. typical greedite corpiritical utruismical low demeaning outlook to think that this is too small a profit. the sue-ers of littl girls and cripples will do anything to reap a buck!!!

could have a chilling effect on online music sales.
Combined with record label pressure on Apple to raise its a la carte
pricing, it's clear now that the music industry still doesn't get
digital technologies or, for that matter, a competitive market.

greed is all cor-pirates understand and nothing else!!!

Free Speech Issues Still Problematic For Vietnam

U.S. Urging Release of 5 'Prisoners of Conscience'

By Ellen Nakashima
Washington Post Foreign Service
Thursday, September 29, 2005; Page A14

JAKARTA, Indonesia A business manager in Hanoi, Pham Hong Son, has spent 42 months in a Vietnamese prison. His crime: downloading an essay titled "What is Democracy?" from a U.S. State Department Web site, translating it and sending it to friends and senior Communist Party officials.

Root kits!!!! swi news letter a must read.

A rootkit-protected hijacker uses any of various methods to alter how Windows operates. Once the rootkit is operational, it is able to monitor system queries and filter out anything that mentions itself. For instance, let's say that file abcxyz.exe hijacks all browser home and search settings, keeps them from being changed back and pops up advertisements
http://www.spywareinfo.com/newsletter/archives/2005/oct1.php

every 90 seconds. If it is protected by a rootkit and you open the folder containing the file, the rootkit will prevent Windows Explorer from displaying the file. If you open the Task Manager, abcxyz.exe will not be shown as a memory process.

This is how it works today and it gives us plenty of trouble when trying to help someone fix it. However, the tools we use today allow us to spot the existence of abcxyz.exe. It has to load when the computer starts, so HijackThis will show us the registry entry that causes it to be loaded. We can find the infection. We just have a hard time explaining to someone how to find it and remove it.

I see trouble ahead. It is only a matter of time before some miscreant designs a better rootkit. I believe that rather than simply hiding a file from Windows Explorer and the Task Manager, future rootkits will be able to provide malware designers with true stealth mode.

Imagine this for a moment. A flaw is discovered in Internet Explorer which allows any piece of software to be executed. Exploiting this flaw, the installer for a truly clever malware is downloaded and executed. The first thing that happens is the installation of an advanced rootkit. This rootkit injects itself directly into the Windows kernel, bypassing all higher-level functions.

A registry entry is written which loads abcxyz.exe as a Windows Service. A service will load whether anyone is logged onto the computer or not and is more difficult to remove than a program installed normally. The abcxyz.exe file is loaded into memory. Every 90 seconds afterward, ads begin to pop up. Realizing that something is wrong, the user goes looking for the culprit. This is where he is going to run into trouble in the near future.

The first thing he does is to perform a

scan with his antispyware program. All antispyware programs look for spyware in the same manner. They search the hard drive looking for files known to belong to malware. They ask Windows for a list of processes running in memory, then look to see if any of those are bad guys. They look at the registry to see what is loading at start up and to check for toolbars or BHOs installed into Internet Explorer. This is where they are going to fail when confronted with an advanced rootkit and a stealthed malware.
