Three years after the day that claimed 658 employees,
Cantor Fitzgerald thrives. Controversial CEO
Howard Lutnick went from tragic figure to villain in a matter of
days when he abruptly terminated the pay of deceased employees, but
Cantor has since paid $145 million
to families in tribute to
former
colleagues. Joining many others throughout the country in a
movement called
One Day's

Many thanks to our outgoing guestblogger, filmmaker Christopher
Coppola, for a fantastic job -- complete with audblog posts from the
road.
The BoingBoing gang is very proud to welcome our next guest, legendary
author John
Shirley.
His most
recent novels are Demons and Crawlers, both from Del
Rey books. He wrote the cyberpunk novels City Come A-Walkin'
and the Eclipse trilogy (now out from Babbage Press). His first
non-fiction book is Gurdjieff: An Introduction to his Life and
Ideas from Tarcher/Penguin. He was also co-screenwriter of THE
CROW. He won the Bram Stoker award for his story collection BLACK
BUTTERFLIES (Leisure Books). The authorized fan-created website is here. His blog is at johnshirley.net. John, it's an
honor to welcome you to the BoingBoing guestbar!

"Rance" unmasked as
cartoonist/filmmaker/screenwriter Keith
Thomson?
06/01/2004 04:56 PMDavid Emery, of
About.com's Urban Legends and Folklore department, tells BoingBoing,
"Wanted to let you know that Alex Boese of the Museum of Hoaxes may
well have solved the
Rance mystery with some
good, old-fashioned Net detective work, or at any rate is damn close
to solving it."
Here's a snip from the Museum of Hoaxes post, which -- true or not --
evidences some very thorough sleuthing indeed:
I think Rance is a cartoonist/filmmaker/screenwriter named Keith
Thomson. Here's my reasoning. What immediately struck me about Rance's
weblog was that it attracted a very high number of comments from very
early on. Within two hours after Rance posted his first entry on
December 29, 2003, four people had left comments on his site. Most
weblogs, by contrast, struggle to get anyone to read them, let alone
leave comments. So how was he attracting so many visitors to his site
straight off the bat? What I discovered was that immediately after
Rance posted his first entry on Dec. 29 at 4:49 EST, someone going by
the screen name 'InvaderFromPluto' began posting messages about his
weblog on various fan discussion groups. For instance, at 5:52, about
one hour after Rance had posted his first entry, a message from
InvaderFromPluto appears on Yahoo's thematthewperryplace message
board. It reads:
i read slate reported a famous tv actor keeping a weblog under
pseudonym "rance" at http://captainhoof.tripod.com/blog/ it's hard to
know if it is him, but it might be as it is funny and seems witty in
his sort of way
Obviously Slate hadn't written anything about Rance's weblog. Rance's
weblog, at that time, was only an hour old. So how did
InvaderFromPluto know about Rance's weblog so quickly, and why was he
so interested in promoting it? Perhaps InvaderFromPluto was Rance
himself. Makes sense to me.

Ending email forgery
Ending email forgery
04/21/2004 10:14 AM
In our July 18 feature, Canni
ng Spam we mentioned an Internet draft proposal from Hadmut
Danisch, called RMX (Reverse Mail eXchange). It was an elaboration of an
earlier proposal by Paul Vixie, architect of BIND (Berkeley Internet
Name Domain), who in turn attributes the idea to Jim Miller of JCM
Consulting. The idea is elegantly simple. In addition to
publishing the MX (Mail Exchange) DNS records that identify inbound
mail hosts, an organization also publishes reverse MX records that
identify outbound hosts. A receiving server queries the DNS to find
out if the sending host is so authorized. The name yahoo.com is easy
to forge, but the IP addresses of Yahoo's outbound servers are not.
The devil's always in the details, of course. It's remarkably
difficult to define exactly what "sender" means in today's complex
e-mail environment. Three current proposals -- pobox.com's SPF (originally Sender Permitted From,
now Sender Policy Framework), Microsoft's
Caller ID for E-Mail, and Yahoo's DomainKeys (unpublished) -- take
differing approaches. [Full story at InfoWorld.com]
As part of this week's cover story on
email's future, my piece explores the current crop of
sender authorization proposals. The boldfaced sentence didn't appear
in the printed article. I resurrect it here to help set the record
straight. In
this mailing list message, Paul Vixie, responding
to a posting that mentions the RMX/SPF idea, says: "Fine idea. Thank
Jim Miller for it when you see him." Jim and I have never met, but I
did track him down in order to establish that he's the sole proprietor
of JCM Consulting. So thanks, Jim! Even though your sentence wound up
on the cutting room floor, I've put it back where Google can find it.

Torture Papers
From The Never Ending Story - The
Torture Papers
03/14/2005 06:29 PM
While the proverbial road to hell is paved with
good intentions, the internal government memos collected in this
publication demonstrate that the path to the purgatory that is
Guantanamo Bay, or Abu Ghraib, has been paved with decidedly bad
intentions. The policies that resulted in rampant abuse of detainees
first in Afghanistan, then at Guantanamo Bay, and later in Iraq, were
product of three pernicious purposes designed to facilitate the
unilateral and unfettered detention, interrogation, abuse, judgment,
and punishment of prisoners: (1) the desire to place the detainees
beyond the reach of any court or law; (2) the desire to abrogate the
Geneva Convention with respect to the treatment of persons seized in
the context of armed hostilities; and (3) the desire to absolve those
implementing the policies of any liability for war crimes under U.S.
and international law.

Torture Papers, which
