For more info or to make a donation see http://www.gold-age/ldf/ldf.html Update 07/24/2001: Tuesday last week (07/17/2001) the SS returned most of the items they stole from us last March -- though we had to come pick them up ourselves, and there are still some items missing. Some items of note that they stole and have not returned are as follows. We added these items and other comments to the inventory receipt. Interestingly, they signed this revised sheet... thus acknowledging the absence of these items. (The revised "Certified Inventory of Personal Property" they signed, dated, and marked with the "received - U.S. Secret Service" stamp.) * Research notes & CD on HARP/Cannon Project. [These are notes/contacts/schematics/CAD drawings, etc, and releated CD with computer simulations involving a new launch system for low earth orbit. This research is based on previous work by the late Dr. Gerald Bull and his brilliant HARP program.] * New York State Truck Title for my 93 Ford Ranger. * Ayn Rand Anniverary Boxed set of Books [was to be a birthday gift for my sister] * Handful of quarters & misc. change. [We're SURE this will be returned, ha, ha] * Lug nuts from Joanna's car {An interesting little story there... for later disclosure.] * Set of inks for inkjet refill kit. There may be other items missing as well, but it will be difficult if not impossible to tell immediately, especially in regards to paperwork. An interesting side note. On one of the tower computers that was returned, I was locked out of the CMOS (apparently, they changed the password -- I'll have to remove the internal battery and clear the CMOS), and the system currently can't even boot because of hard disk failure. (The other tower they stole was a new machine that I was in the process of putting together, and didn't have much of significance on it). The laptop has also been tampered with, too... aside from the legs being broken off, I'm locked out of this machine as well; they changed the CMOS password, but being a laptop it's not as simple a matter, as with the tower, to reset the CMOS -- I'll have to get specs from HP before I go taking this baby apart. In short it's going to take quite a bit of time and effort to figure out if there is any data intact for me to recover on either of these machines. This kind of destructive data-mining was totally unecessary, since I gave them all the passwords to the various systems they took. http://www.gold-age/ldf/ldf.html ----- End forwarded message ----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
