Well... one of the points of Freenet is to have anonymity (even if not cryptographically strong, just statistical anonimity). I don't know how well that can work with "introductions".

I found the FTU's recent report on concealable weapons (http://LB.wnd.com/FBI-weapons.pdf) interesting, but find that it omitted a few possibilities, viz: 1. The pop-top steel lid on a can e.g., of catfood forms a sharp edge when removed. (I have a permenant scar on a finger attesting to this.) If half the disc were grasped in a cloth it could be more effective than several of the items you list. 2. Similarly, the steel lid on e.g., a tuna can forms a sharp (and flatter, and slightly more rigid) edge when removed with a can opening tool. A can opening tool can be very small, e.g., the military-style can openers, which by itself is not dangerous. Again, any piece of cloth forms a graspable handle on the resulting sharp-edged disc. 3. Even a beverage can, e.g., from a beer purchased in flight, can be ripped into a sharp edge, although the thinness of the (typically soft aluminum) metal makes this less effective than the above. 4. The large knitting (crochet) needles which I believe the TSA admits could be filed into a sharp point, producing a spike as effective as some you list. As these are typically aluminum, abrading them into a point would not be difficult. 5. It is possible that a skilled knife maker could chip a glass bottle into a knife while in the restroom, producing something comparable to the obsidian knife you list. The production process might be noisy however, unlike the above. Comment, which you will no doubt ignore: Given the facility with which weapons are improvised or concealed, it might be a better idea to stop motivating the actors, as distasteful as that might be to some in power. Although some will enjoy the Israel-like police state that foreign entanglement will otherwise drag the US into, and some -perhaps your- careers might even advance faster under such conditions. Have a nice day A. Citizen

It is also the first NeuClear asset that will have some kind of value. While it in no way is a hard currency. For more details of the value see it's asset rules at: http://beta.veraxpay.com/rules.html VERAX is currently giving away $50 Beta Dollars to each account. So go try it out. >From a technical standpoint the VERAX Beta introduces integration with the NeuClear Directory at http://pkyp.org. When you go to the Transfer page you have the choice of entering an account url, account id or searching the directory for keywords. Try creating your own account page with the NeuClear Personal Trader and people can search for you directly from the transfer screen. Of course this is still completely optional. You can still receive payments to your 32 character account id for privacy reasons. Of course feedback is always welcome.

Processor VIPER
by FOX2000＠go2.pl 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

I am a student from Poland. I learn in Zielona Gora on Technical University of Zielona Gora. I study computing and electronics. My science on that university persist five years, now I am on fifth year. My education on that of university ends when I write and execute M.A. thesis, therefore I apply to You. Subject of my work is "Modelling and Synthesis safety processor VIPER in VHDL". VIPER takes its name from "Verifiable Integrated Processor for Enhanced Reliability" - it is the world's first microprocessor for safety-critical applications. VIPER is 32-bit microprocessor which invented at (RSRE) the UK Royal Signals and Radar Establishment for use in highly safety-critical military and civil systems. This processor is safety processor, which is used to steer systems, in which error, or mistake can't appear during work of system. These systems should characterize high precision of action. VIPER is used at nuclear plants, on board a missile, or at a chemical refinery, it's going to happen: a catastrophic computer- related disaster. My work, I execute in VHDL hardware description language. This language, I have known on studies. VHDL takes its name from "V - Very High Speed Integrated Circuit and HDL - Hardware Description Language". I apply to You; Do You know something about VIPER ?; perhaps Your friends know something about this processor. If You know something about VIPER, Could You make accessible me all materials, documentation, algorithm of programs in VHDL or another languages what You have. Thank You, I wait for answer Marek Salamaj My personal details: MAREK SALAMAJ e-mail: FOX2000(a)go2.pl
