Subject: [ILUG] ASSISTANCE

FROM: COL. MICHAEL BUNDU.
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO.
Tel No: Your country Intl. access code +8821652098236
email : mikebundu@rediffmail.com
Dear Sir/Madam

SEEKING YOUR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE.

Please permit me to make your acquaintance in so informal a manner. This
is necessitated by my urgent need to reach a
dependable and trust worthy foreign partner. This request may seem strange
and unsolicited but I crave your indulgence
and pray that you view it seriously. My name is COL. MICHAEL BUNDU of the
Democratic Republic of Congo and one of
the close aides to the former President of the Democratic Republic of
Congo LAURENT KABILA of blessed memory, may
his soul rest in peace.

Due to the military campaign of LAURENT KABILA to force out the rebels in
my country, I and some of my colleagues were
instructed by Late President Kabila to go abroad to purchase arms and
ammunition worth of Twenty Million, Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars only (US$20,500,000.00) to fight the rebel
group. We were then given this money privately
by the then President, LAURENT KABILA, without the knowledge of other
Cabinet Members. But when President Kabila
was killed in a bloody shoot-out by one of his bodyguards a day before we
were schedule to travel out of Congo, We
immediately decided to put the funds into a private security company here
in Congo for safe keeping. The security of the
said amount is presently being threatened here following the arrest and
seizure of properties of Col. Rasheidi Karesava
(One of the aides to Laurent Kabila) a tribesman, and some other Military
Personnel from our same tribe, by the new
President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the son of late President
Laurent Kabila, Joseph Kabila.

In view of this, we need a reliable and trustworthy foreign partner who
can assist us to move this money out of my country
as the beneficiary.
WE have sufficient ''CONTACTS'' here to move the fund under Diplomatic
Cover to a security company in Europe in your
name. This is to ensure that the Diplomatic Baggage is marked
''CONFIDENTIAL'' and it
will not pass through normal custom/airport screening and clearance.

Our inability to move this money out of Congo all this while stems from
our lack of trust of our supposed good friends
(western countries) who suddenly became hostile to those of us who worked
with the late President Kabila, immediately
after his son took office. Though we have neither seen nor met each other,
the information We gathered from an associate
who has worked in your country has encouraged and convinced us that with
your sincere assistance, this transaction will
be properly handled with modesty and honesty to a huge success within two
weeks. The said money is a state fund and
therefore requires a total confidentiality.

We would please need you to stand on our behalf as the beneficiary of this
fund in Europe. This is because we are under
restricted movement and watch and hence we want to be very careful in
order not to lose this fund which we have worked
so hard for. Thus, if you are willing to assist us to move this fund out
of Congo, you can contact me through my email
addresses, Tel/Fax nos. above with your telephone, fax number and personal
information to enable us discuss the
modalities and what will be your share (percentage) for assisting us.

Please note that There are no RISKS involved in this Deal as everyone's
Security is Guaranteed if we follow the required
guidelines. I will hence furnish you with further details of this Deal as
soon as I am assured of your Sincere interest to assist
us.

I must use this opportunity and medium to implore you to exercise the
utmost indulgence to keep this matter extraordinarily
confidential, Whatever your decision, while I await your prompt response.
Thank you and God Bless.
Best Regards

COL. MICHAEL BUNDU(RTD). m_bundu@rediffmail.com

N\B. When you are calling my line, you dial your country Intl. access
code, then you dial directly, do not include my country
code i.e. (243). Just dial your country Intl. access code + 88216

Five Hundred Thosand United States Dollars($49.5m).This fund accrued to us
as commission for oil sales contracts handled under our supervision.

The fund is presently waiting in the Government Account named CBN/FGN
INDEPENDENT REVENUE account number 400-939134 with J.P.MORGAN CHASE
BANK,New York.You can do your independent verification of this. However,
by virtue of our position as civil servants and members of the NDDC, we
cannot acquire this funds in our name. This is because as top civil

AA Meetings the Hottest Place to Meet Women With Big Bucks

If you're looking to hook up with female millionaires you could try some of
the classier restaurants or clubs, but the best place of all is a certain
New York City Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

According to a Details magazine story cited in the New York Post, "the No.
1 location to score a megabucks babe is an Alcoholics Anonymous center on
[New York's] Upper East Side.

"It's the choicest meeting in town, right next to the Ralph Lauren store"
on Madison Avenue, which features "rich vulnerable women," the mag's
October issue says.

AA officials were not overjoyed by having the address of their meeting
place published, or being cited as the "in" place for finding loaded women
- or rather, women who are loaded.

"The purpose of our meetings is to let people share their experiences and
help others find sobriety. It is not a place to pick up women!" an AA
spokesman told The Post.

Seems Bill didn't know much about how Government really works. Either
that, or there's a smelly similarity between Buxton's global Big

Dear Sir,

this business to you in confidence for the mutual benefit
of both of us.

The sum of USD48M (Forty eight Million United States) was
lodged into a security company here in the Country by the
late Head of State (GEN.SANI ABACHA) for safe-keeping. This
money was lodged in security vaults / boxes and labelled as
personal belongings and as such the security company does
not know the true content of the boxes.This money was
originally meant to be used for his political campaign.
Because I was his family Attorney as such he confided in me
with the relevant document papers relating to this deposit
before he died of cardiac arrest.

As a matter of fact we have concluded all arrangement with
an offshore Security Company to move this money as a
consignment through diplomatic means to their offshore
affiliated office where you will be required to put claim
to the consignment as the bonafide beneficiary of the
consignment. You should know that this business is safety
and 100% risk-free as it does not involve drug money or
Terrorist fund.

If you are interested to carry out this transaction with
me, 20% will be for you for your assistance, 5% for general
expenses, and 75% for us.

You are required to send by e-mail immediately your Full
name and Address, which I will use to draft an agreement
that will guide and protect both of us in this transaction
also which will be used to effect the change of ownership
of the consignment to your name as the beneficiary of the
consignment.

Also send me your Telephone and Fax numbers for easy
communication

Once you notify me your willingness by sending the above
requirement.This transaction will be concluded within 7
(seven) working days.

I never used ConfigParser before, but I read that its read() method silently

 " Qualify for at least $25,000 in free
grants money - Guaranteed! "

 Each day over One Million Dollars in Free
Government
Grants  is given away to people just like you for a wide
variety of Business And Personal Needs

Dear Grant Seeker,
 In a moment, I'll tell you
exactly HOW & WHERE to get Grants. This MONEY has to
be given away, WHY not to YOU?

 You may be thinking, "How
can I get some of this Free Grants Money"

 Maybe you think it's impossible
to get free money?

 Let me tell you it's not
impossible! It's a fact, ordinary people and businesses all across the
United States are receiving millions of dollars from these Government and
Private Foundation's everyday.

 Who Can Apply?

 ANYONE can apply
for a Grant from 18 years old and up!

 Grants from $500.00 to $50,000.00
are possible! GRANTS don't have to be paid back,
 EVER! Claim
your slice of the FREE American Pie.

 This money is not a loan,
Trying to get money through a conventional bank can be very time consuming
and requires a lot of paperwork, only to find out that you've been denied.
These Government Agencies don't have to operate under the same stringent
requirements that banks do.

 You decide how much money
you need, as long as it's a lawful amount and meets with the Government
Agencies criteria, the money is yours to keep and never has to be repaid.
This money is non taxable & interest free.

 None of these programs require
a credit check, collateral, security deposits or co-signers, you can apply
even if you have a bankruptcy or bad credit, it doesn't matter, you as
a tax payer and U.S. citizen are entitled to this money.

 There are currently over
1,400 Federal Programs, 24,000 State Programs, 30,000 Private Foundations
and 20,000 Scholarship Programs available.

 This year over $30 Billion
Dollars In Free personal and business Government Grants Money will be given
away by Government Grants Agencies.

 Government Personal
and Business Grants Facts:
 Over 20 Million People Get Government
Money Every Year:
 1,000,000 entrepreneurs get money
to start or expand a business
 4,000,000 people get money to invest

 10,000,000 people get free help and

 Getting Business
Grants

 Anyone thinking about going
into business for themselves, or wanting to expand an existing business
should rush for the world's largest "one-stop-money-shop" where FREE business
grants to start or expand a business is being held for you by the Federal
Government.

 It
sounds absolutely incredible that people living right here in the United
States of America wouldn't know that each year the world's largest source
of free business help delivers:

 Over $30 billion dollars in free
business grants and low-interest loans;
 over one-half trillion dollars in
procurement contracts; and
 over $32 billion dollars in FREE
consulting and research grants.

 With an economy that remains
unpredictable, and a need for even greater economic development on all
fronts, the federal government is more willing than it ever has been before
to give you the money you need to own your own business and become your
own boss!

 In
spite of the perception that people should not look to the government for
help, the great government give-away programs have remained so incredibly
huge that if each of the approximately 8 million businesses applied for
an equal share, they would each receive over $70,000.

 Most
people never apply for FREE Business Grants because they somehow feel it
isn't for them, feel there's too much red-tape, or simply don't know who
to contact.The fact is, however, that people from all walks of life do
receive FREE GRANTS MONEY and other benefits from the government, and you
should also.

low income families, repair your home, rent, mortgage payments, utility

Subject: [zzzzteana] FWD (SK) Re: Quotation wanted [pseudoscience - a skeptic's view]

The material appended below comes from Martin Gardner's
book _Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science_ -- revised
and expanded edition published in 1957 by Dover Publications,
Inc. (New York City).

Bill Bennetta
_________________________________________________

"[M]ost pseudo-scientists have a number of characteristics in
common.

 "First and most important of these traits is that cranks work
in almost total isolation . . . in the sense of having no fruitful
contacts with fellow researchers. . . . The modern crank insists
that his isolation is not desired on his part. It is due, he claims,
to the prejudice of established scientific groups against new
ideas. . . .

 "The modern pseudo-scientist . . . stands entirely outside
the closely integrated channels through which new ideas are
introduced and evaluated. He works in isolation. He does not
send his findings to the recognized journals, or if he does, they
are rejected for reasons which in the vast majority of cases
are excellent. In most cases, the crank is not well enough
informed to write a paper with even a surface resemblance
to a significant study. As a consequence, he finds himself
excluded the journals and societies, and almost universally
ignored by the competent workers in his field. In fact, the
reputable scientist does not even know of the crank's
existence unless his work is given widespread publicity through
non-academic channels, or unless the scientist makes a hobby
of collecting crank literature. The eccentric is forced, therefore,
to tread a lonely way. He speaks before organizations he
himself has founded, contributes to journals he himself may
edit, and -- until recently -- publishes books only when he
or his followers can raise sufficient funds to have them printed
privately.

 "A second characteristic of the pseudo scientist, which
greatly strengthens his isolation, is a tendency toward
paranoia. . . .

 "There are five ways in which the sincere pseudo-
scientist's paranoid tendencies are likely to be exhibited.

 "(1) He considers himself a genius.

 "(2) He regards his colleagues, without exception, as
ignorant blockheads. Everyone is out of step except himself.
Frequently he insults his opponents by accusing them of
stupidity, dishonesty, or other base motives. If they ignore
him, he takes this to mean his arguments are unanswerable.
If they retaliate in kind, this strengthens his delusion that he
is battling scoundrels. . . .

 "(3) He believes himself unjustly persecuted and discriminated
against. . . .

 "(4) He has a strong compulsion to focus his attacks on the
greatest scientists and the best established theories. When
Newton was the outstanding name in physics, eccentric works
in that science were violently anti Newton. Today, with
Einstein the father symbol of authority, a crank theory of
physics is likely to attack Einstein in the name of Newton. . . .

 "(5) He often has a tendency to write in a complex
jargon, in many cases making use of terms and phrases he
himself has coined. . . ."

 Dear Readers,
 With all the corporate scandals--such as WorldCom and Enron--surrounding us, who can you trust nowadays? Well, for starters, you can trust the CNET Message Boards. The CNET Message Boards are as real as it gets. When it comes down to giving or receiving honest tech advice, there's no better place to be. In the Boards there are no reviews or tests by professionals, just real, true-life experiences and discussions from people like you and me who share one common interest: the love of today's challenging technology. There are no sneaky execs here or scandals to worry about, so if you have a specific problem or question
in mind, post it! You won't be disappointed.

 Why I don't use firewalls
 Do you need some honest opinions? Despite all the horror stories that you hear of hackers and Trojans intruding on one's personal computer, hear why one of our veteran moderators refuses to use a firewall. This discussion gets a bit heated, but her point was well taken. Take a look and see why she refuses, and if you have a cent or two to throw in, the donation jar is wide open.

 The scoop on USB 2.0
 The chances are that the next time you pick up an external computer peripheral, it will be utilizing USB 2.0 to connect to your computer. So what is USB 2.0? Is it that much faster than USB 1.1? Will your current USB port be compatible with peripherals with the new version? Well if you have similar questions, I gathered up some discussion on this topic in hopes that it will bring a better understanding of what's in store for USB 2.0. Take your pick.

 Windows XP not any faster than Windows 98SE?!

 Best type of backup system to use for someone that is indigent?
 Backing up your hard-drive system sounds like a task for veteran, but is it? In

If you're in that same boat and looking for the best ways to back up some of that important data of yours, this discussion is for you. Have a look. More Computer Newbies discussions

Not sure about MG, though I know pretty much everything he penned got into

Anyone have a copy of Bell Centennial I can borrow? I wonder if I'll ever have
$100 to spend on fonts. (Matthew Carter, I'd be happy to pay you the two cents
in royalties you probably get for selling $100 worth of fonts.)

*Update:* Kevin Marks[1], who is stupendously incredible for far more things
than I can list here points out that Gill Sans (which I was asking for earlier)
is _included with OS X_. I knew Mac OS X included a lot of great fonts[2], but
I don't know how I overlooked this. _Awesome!_

Anything equivalent will be spam, just not email spam. Dump entry IPs for
an anonymizing network onto a public bulletin board that's used for other

I'm not arguing against other solutions, I'm arguing that spam is speech.

Subject: Laura Bush's 419 letter

URL: http://boingboing.net/#85486499
Date: Not supplied

A new addition to the parodical genre of 419 ("Nigerian Money Laundry Scam")
letters from members of the Shrub establishment, following up on Cheney's
letter[1].

 I am the widow of the late President George W. Bush of the United States of
 America. I am writing you this letter in confidence regarding my current
 circumstances.

 I escaped the United States ahead of death squads with my husband and two
 children Jenna and Frank, moving first to England and then, when my
 husband's political enemies took power there, to Austria. All of our
 wealth, obtained legitimately through baseball, oil drilling and insider
 trading, was seized by the new government of the USA under the despotic
 regime of (Dr.) Noam Chomsky, except for the contents of a few Swiss bank
 accounts. These bank accounts, which contain social security lock-box funds
 and the bulk of the 2001 budget surplus, could not be accessed by me or my
 children, due to agreements made between the socialist government of the
 USA and Swiss bank regulators. They seized our ranch in Crawford, Texas and
 now use it to teach homosexualist propaganda to schoolchildren.

Jeremy Zawodny[1] who works at Yahoo Finance offers an RSS 0.91 feed for every
stock. It's a beta feature. Here's the feed for Microsoft[2] and one for
Marimba[3]. Thanks to Jon Udell[4] for the pointer. Nice. Jon also notes that
Microsoft doesn't show up too strong in the weblog world and describes[5] a
conversation with John Montgomery about this. What a small world. John and I
got to know each other when we did the work on SOAP in the late 90s, and weblog
software is one of the major reasons we were interested in SOAP. So close, but
so far. But it's never too late!

That was a guess. Bothering to get a clock out, it was more like 80 per
second. See? A 60% speedup without changing a thing <wink>.

Well, DUH!!!

It is perfectly obvious that (heterosexual) promiscuity is exactly,
precisely identical between males and females.

Of course the shapes of the distributions may differ.

Subject: Re: Digital radio playlists are prohibited?!

--] Anyone heard of this law before?

Back when I was running the WSMF shoutcast server these restrictions were
just being placed on netcasters. Most folks laughed it off. Now with the
license fees its not laughable anymore. If you pay the fee you are bound
to the restrictions, if you dont your running the criminal line.

I still run a stream up on live365. Its been playing the same 10 hour
block of Jean Shepard shows for the last year. I really should change them
up.

If I were going to do the old WSMF shoutcast now adays I would either
spend lots of time going over regulations to see what I can or cannot do
or I would just chuck the regs out and do what I want. Or I might write
some apps to stay in regs ..I dont know..one thing is for sure it
defiently takes the spontaneous edge off things:)-
