Politicians themselves proved there is no need for backdoors. Cryptography information is published in cleartext, yet is still not understood by them. They have the legal language, and to keep outsiders at bay, require a license to use it! Encrypt pornography? Its too slow already to un-uuencode and un-jpeg the stuff! Wider spread use of encryption would be good for Intel. The 85% of PC users needing faster and faster computers just so games run better can better justify the expense with needing fast decryption. The FBI doesn't want porn files, they want the customer lists of those doing business: pornographers, bookies, drug dealers, pimps. I wish customer lists of the real scumbags, like Cyberpromo were available!

If I lock my porn in a 40 ft thick steel safe, does that mean I have to give uncle sam a key if they ask? US Government restrictions (and a few other anal countries out there), are getting silly. When the law is being made by people who don't understand the problem, people who don't understand the benefits, and people who have no clue what they are making the laws for, then we have a serious issue on our hands and it's time we start thinking about getting some knowledgable people into office.

Outage of the year
by Bill McCauley 03 Sep '97

03 Sep '97

Hi, The following post has more actual operational content than some recent posts, but mostly this is for general amusement. We had a T1 tail circuit to a customer fail on Tuesday afternoon. The circuit seemed OK, and we were unable to reach the customer by phone. After a 45 minute outage or so, the circuit came back up. Today, the customer called us to explain what had happened. Seems that a homeless person set fire to themselves under overhead wiring. The flames shot up high enough to ignite the overhead wiring, taking power out to a three square block area including our customer. The fire department had to extinguish both the flaming homeless person and the overhead wiring. The customer has been up steadily since. Status of the homeless individual is unknown. Fortunately, the customer called and explained this to our NOC and not the reverse. If we'd had to explain this to them, I'd have told the NOC to make something up. This is my nominee for most unusual outage cause of 1997. Regards, Bill McCauley GeoNet Communications
