Subject: Mobile Phone Virus Infects Helsinki Championships
Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2005 19:32:00 -0500


Visitors to the world athletics championships in Finland have had to
brave wind and rain, and officials say they now face the possibility
of catching the world's first mobile phone virus.

Officials in mobile-mad Finland, home to the world's largest cellphone
maker Nokia, said there had been outbreaks of the Cabir virus at
Helsinki's Olympic Stadium.

"At most we are speaking about dozens of infections, but during a
short period and in one spot this is a huge number," said Jarmo Koski,
a security official at telecoms firm TeliaSonera.

Cabir, first reported in June last year, uses Bluetooth short range
wireless signals to jump between cellphones.

That means it can spread over distances of up to 10 metres (30 feet),
which in a packed stadium could include dozens of phones.

The recipient needs to accept a download to be infected and, while
telecoms security officials say the risk of catching a mobile virus is
small, thousands of phones have already been hit around the world.

"There must be a lot of infected phones at the stadium and a lot of
Bluetooth traffic," said Antti Vihavainen, head of the mobile unit at
antivirus software firm F-Secure.

"It is the early version of Cabir, which can infect only one phone at
a time. Later versions of Cabir are much more fierce.

Since it was invented, the virus has so far spread to more than 20
countries, from the United States to Japan and from Finland to South
Africa.

F-Secure says there are 55 viruses or other malicious programmes
spreading between cellphones and other mobile devices.

Cabir drains the power of the infected phone as it tries to replicate
itself on nearby mobiles but the most damaging viruses could disable a
phone, requiring a factory reset.

Amazon.com Inc. on Thursday said it will pay $40 million in the third
quarter to settle a patent infringement lawsuit with Soverain Software
LLC.

The settlement of the lawsuit, which was originally filed in 2004 in
Texas, was announced in a filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

Amazon, the online retailer, said the settlement also includes the
dismissal of all claims and counterclaims, mutual releases, and a
nonexclusive license to Soverain's patent portfolio.

Soverain had filed the suit against Amazon on January 12, 2004 in the
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Amazon said in
the filing.

during the the society's Annual General Meeting in Paris.

The SOP provides a high-level framework outlining the society's
vision, mission and values, goals and objectives, and programs and
projects. The Plan will be used extensively to drive the definition
of future activities in line with ISOC's core values. The full text
of the ISOC SOP is available at: http://www.isoc.org/isoc/SOP.pdf

"I am excited about the launch of the society's Strategic Operating
Plan," said Lynn St. Amour, President and CEO of the Internet
Society. "ISOC has made significant progress in the last several years
and we are now well positioned to continue building on our past
success. This Plan heralds the start of a new era for ISOC as we move
forward to address the new challenges facing the Internet."

ISOC's Board of Trustees now includes those members that were selected
in a recent election process for terms 2005 to 2008. During these
elections two members of the new board were selected by the society's
organization members --- Glenn Ricart of PricewaterhouseCoopers was
re-elected, and Daniel Karrenberg of the RIPE NCC joined the
Board. Veni Markovski (President and Chairman of the Board of ISOC
Bulgaria) was re-elected by ISOC's chapters.

"We're delighted to welcome Daniel Karrenberg to the ISOC Board," said
Fred Baker, Chair of the ISOC Board of Trustees. "Daniel brings with
him a wealth of experience gained during his work with building up and
managing the processes behind the operations of the RIPE NCC, one of
the five Regional Internet Registries."

As part of ISOC's election process, one member of the Board is named
each year by the IETF, through selection by the Internet Architecture

Subject: 800 Number - Prepaid - Walmart
Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2005 13:15:02 -0500


AT&T developed the card (patent #:6694003) primarily as a PRIVACY
service.

Original intent was that if you needed to hear from someone, but did
not want them to know your name or location, you would purchase card,
activate service, and then callers could reach you.  Number they
dialed, would route to any number you programmed in.  They added a
"follow me" feature which if (for example) you didn't answer at first
location, call would re-route to your back-up number.

PLUS -- 800 service without big set-up hassles. AND near total
anonymity.  (I am sure AT&T would co-operate if card were used for
nefarious purposes.

Original thought was that card purchaser would only activate the card
for very limited, very short time, purposes (hence, the cost-per
minute was not really the primary issue).

PS: As far as I know (so far) ... the card and the service is
available ONLY thru Walmart.

How's he going to do that if they're watching us from the black
helicopters using silent mode all the time?

Besides, it's impossible to talk to them: don't you know that the black 
helicopters have special encrypted radios that not even tinfoil can stop?

The black helicopters have special mind rays that control us! They used

Well, despite what you say you believe anyone (evidently) who has an
axe to grind can have their say about anything.  And it also appears
that telecom doesn't have anything to do with CDT or Telecom Digest
any longer and is only a place where any lugnut can spew his opinion
never mind that it doesn't have any tangental relevance to telecom at
all.


[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: I think what I shall do is start an
adjunct digest; I shall call it SOCIETY Digest or SPAMMER Digest or
even maybe ADJUNCT Digest or as a last ditch thing, maybe TOWNSON
Digest. (All those words) Digest have _seven letters_ just like
'TELECOM', ergo I won't even have to re-write all the 1960-ish 
scripts I use to put it out each day, especially since the onset of
my beloved Deseased Brain I have lost the ability and patience to 
write shell scripts anyway other than changing a few print statements
to my liking. I'll add a few Google Adsense messages on the web
version just as I do with telecom and collect on the revenue from the
clicks there. That's all that really matters for most of us web
publishers on the net these days anyway is the Google Scorecard isn't
it?  

To answer your question bluntly and succintly (and with this benediction
I hope and pray this thread soon comes to a close without having to
rudely toss many of the messages on same) I _firmly_ and _strongly_
support the US Constitution the way it is written. I do wish that
those guys in the 18th century, Adams, Jefferson, et al had been able
to tell the future, or been as succinct at times in their writings as
I attempt to be with mine. (snore!). Especially, a wee bit more
laborious in writing numbers one and two. Break up one to be more
plain about religion and speech and in the case of two, to be more
precise about terms like 'well regulated militia' and re-ordered their
punctuation a bit differently, removing any and all doubt about each
of those two Amendments. Both of them (one and two) give us much grief
when there are court battles about them. 

My opinion: if number two means what many claim it means, that a 'well
regulated militia' refers to the National Guard or the military
service in general and this 'well regulated' National Guard or
military has a right to bear arms but the rest of us ordinary citizens
do _not_ have such a right, then I would have to say that is the one
item in the Bill of Rights which allows the _government_ (as opposed to
regular citizens a 'right'). The National Guard or the Army does not
have to get permission (in the form of a constitutional amendment) to
'bear arms'. Think about it that way; the entire Bill of Rights was
written to provide we the people with certain rights; does it make
sense that the second amendment is an exception to that, and it
(second amendment) is to give the government 'rights'? The government
does not need protection from the people; the people are the ones
needing protection. So why would the Bill of Rights grant the 'right
to bear arms' to its own agencies (National Guard and Army, etc).
A 'well regulated militia', IMO, refers to _law abiding_ citizens who
wish to arm themselves. 

Now if 'well regulated' equals 'law abiding' (instead of equalling 'a
government agency' as the government claims) then we have problems. 
Far too many of us are not 'well regulated' in that sense; we grow 
angry or we get drunk or we otherwise break the law and take our host-
ility out on police officers and other more 'well-regulated'
citizens. Does it seem a bit odd that the New York Times constantly
chatters about 'gun control' yet the late publisher of that journal
used to always get chauffered to work each day carrying a gun in his
suit pocket or briefcase?  Many people think that 'gun control' should
apply to everyone else _except for themselves_. I can trust me, but I
can't trust you, that sort of thing. And you never hear of the ACLU 
taking on a Second Amendment case; they seem to be happy with the
status quo also. 

I personally am frightened of guns. I do not want one in my house; I
grow ill when I have touched a gun in the past; but I certainly would
not restrict the right of _other folks_ to have them and use them as
needed, but the government does just that. The regulations on gun
ownership and use in the USA are so restrictive that about all I can
say to anyone who has a _legitimate, bonafide need_ to ever use a gun in
the protection of their property or life or family's lives, etc, do 
what you need to do but then _destroy the gun and ditch it totally_.
Do not let the gun stand in the way of detirmining who the true
villian was; the person who made the use of the gun necessary. And do
not ask me for support of some crackpot notion from John Birch and all
that rot. President Bush is strongly in favor of 'gun control', and
that should give you something to think about. PAT]

Actually Steve you are wrong on this one. Last night August 10, 2006,
ABC had a wonderful retrospective on Mr. Jennings. His title was
"Senior Editor, ABC World News Tonight". As such, he was given total
control over the content of "ABC World News Tonight - With Peter
Jennings". This included what stores to present and how they were to
be presented. One Reporter even told of how all, that were to report a
story for each show had to submit their script to him for
approval. This one gentlemen went so far as to say how proud he was
the one and only time he submitted a script and it came back with no
marks (Peter like his red pen I guess).  Now, yes the original
poster's attack was very sleazy but as is his right in our country he
can have his opinion and state it as his wishes.

I am a firm believer in the Second Amendment and am a very proud gun
owner. That said, Peter Jennings was one of the best of his profession
and I enjoyed his reporting, especially how well he understood the
Mid-east.


Chip Cryderman


[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: I am not a 'proud gun owner' and in
fact guns scare me a lot. But I support the people who own them and
use them _properly_ as needed. If you went around Independence here,
you are not going to find a bunch of raving lunatics driving in the
streets waving or displaying or shooting off their weapons. But if
you went to at least a few private homes, you would find some weapons
put away, out of children's reach, unloaded, etc to be used as the need
arose. Peter Jennings was a good reporter, and he _did_  control the 
stuff that went out on the air, but yes, he did have that one 'blind
spot' in his life; he did not 'believe in' the private ownership of
weapons, and he did not promote any positive publicity on private
gun ownership; many others in the media do not either.    PAT]

Germany was clearly interested in developing nuclear power for
military purposes.  However, as stated, the project didn't get very
far.  The Allies went to a lot of trouble to disrupt a source of heavy
water.

Before the war even ended, an American specialist team went into
Germany to get German scientists and their records.  See "Now it can
be told" by Gen. Leslie Groves.

Japan was also working on a nuclear weapon, although their project was
extremely limited in size and basically just lab research.

When nuclear fission was discovered and announced in January 1939,
scientists worldwide knew of the potential for extremely powerful
weapons and began to think about the issues involved.

We are fortunate that making a nuclear weapon is not easy at all.
This is why 60 years later so few nations have them.  Making the fuel
is very difficult as well is detonation.  Of course, one can't help
but wonder what would've happened if the U.S. had the bomb a year
later, say August 1944.  The Allies still face high losses slogging
through Europe to Germany at that point, and a great many losses in
the Pacific against Japan.  Thousands, perhaps millions of enemy
civilians and soldiers would also die.  The shock of a single bomb
doing the work of a huge fleet of conventional bombers would've been
the shock to end the war.
