This is an article from today's edition of The New York Times. I am
usually not at a loss for words, but the system described here is
really incomprehensible given China's recent espionage history. At one
time, advocating these things was called treason.
PART 1 of 2 PARTS
"Eased Rules on Tech Sales to China Questioned
By Steven R. Weisman
WASHINGTON - Six months ago, the Bush administration quietly eased
some restrictions on the export of politically delicate technologies
to China. The new approach was intended to help American companies
increase sales of high-tech equipment to China despite tight curbs on
sharing technology that might have military applications.
But today the administration is facing questions from weapons experts
about whether some equipment - newly authorized for export to Chinese
companies deemed trustworthy by Washington - could instead end up
helping China moderize its military. Equally worrisome, the weapons
experts say, is the possibility that China could share the technology
with Iran or Syria.
The technologies include advanced aircraft engine parts, navigation
systems, telecommunications equipment and sophisticated composite
materials.
The questions raised about the new policy are in a report to be
released this week by the Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control,
an independent reseach foundation that opposes the spread of arms
technologies.
The administration's new approach is part of an overall drive to
require licenses for the export of an expanded list of technologies in
aircraft engines, lasers, telecommunications, aircraft materials and
other fields of interest to China's military.
But while imposing lisence requirements for the transfer of those
technologies, the administration is also validating certain Chinese
companies that may import these technologies without licenses.
Five such companies were designated in October, but as many as dozens
others are in the pipeline for possible future designation.
Mario Mancuso, under secretary of Commerce for industry and security,
said the new system of broadening the list of technologies that
require licenses, but exempting some trustworthy companies from the
license requirement, results in more effective protections.
'We believe that the system we have set up ensures that we are
protecting our national security consistent with our goal of promoting
legitimate exports for civilian use,' he said in an interview. 'We
have adopted a consistent, broad-based approach to hedging against
helping China's military moderization.'
But the Wisconsin Project report, made available to The New York
Times, asserts that two nonmilitary Chinese companies designated as
trustworthy are in fact high risk because of links to the Chinese
government, the People's Liberation Army and other Chinese entities
accused in the past of ties to Syria and Iran.
One of the Chinese companies, the BHA Aero Composites Company, is
partly owned by two American companies - 40 percent by the American
aircraft manufacturer Boeing and 40 percent by the aerospace materials
maker Hexcel. The remaining 20 percent is owned by a Chinese
government-owned company, AVIC I, or the China Aviation Industry
Corporation I.
'In principle, you could find companies that would be above suspicion,
but in this case they haven't done it,' said Gary Milhollin, director
of the Wisconsin Project. 'If you just look at the relations these
companies have, rather than be above suspicion, they are highly
suspicious.'
The Wisconsin Project report also charges that both Boeing and Hexcel
have been cited for past lapses in obtaining proper licenses for
exports.
Spokesmen for Boeing and Hexcel said in interviews that they are fully
confident that BHA has no ties to the Chinese military and that its
use of aircraft parts and materials was strictly for commercial and
civilian ends.
'Boeing is not involved in any defense activities in China,' said
Douglas Kennett, a company spokesman. 'All our activities in China are
in compliance with U.S. export laws and regulations.'
Both companies also say that the past failure to get proper licenses
has led to tighter controls and, in any case, was the result of
improper paperwork affecting products that continue to be exported as
licensed."

Subject: MacPro Heat Issues
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Because of the design of the new MacPro, and the fact that there seems
to be a massive design flaw in relationship to filtering the air inputs
and both bringing in air and exhausting air, I have designed a prototype
"booster system" which encloses a MacPro mini-tower at it base
ventilation space and feeds it highly filtered air (metal mesh filter,
covered with donut of filter paper), and then a "top hat" that sucks air
out of the top of the machine and directed it away from the user (so
that you do not get the heat blown into your face). I can increase the
airflow by at least 300 cubic feet like this per system, and can ensure
the heat sinks inside do not get coated with dust. I also desinged the
system to "sneeze" in order to dislodge dust my reversing the airflow if
there is a suspected dust issue.
The prototype looks cooler then the Mac itself (I used aircraft aluminum
billets on a CNC machine, being anodized this weekend).
I have filed a PPA (Pending Patent Applicaton) with the USPTO for a free
standing single unit version, a desktop four system version, and then a
16 system version designed to be rack mounted (8 of these "trays" will
fix into an 84 inch high EIA rack(128 MacPros into a footprint of only 4
square feet of floor space, including one-pentabyte of SSD mass storage
per rack). My design of the rack units uses cryogenic nitrogen for
coiling (though the filters) and the heat is partially cycled back in
the air intake to keep the freezing under control. This is a simialr
dsign for hat I did back in 1994 for the NMR cooling systems where I
used some of the cryogenic Nitrogen and Helium used in the NMR vessel to
cool the computer and FFT Engine through the use of a chilled steel mesh
filter.
If any of you have access to VC funds, and are willing to sign a
non-disclosure agreement, I am happy to talk (U.S. Citizens, U.S.
COmpanies, and U.S. Funds Only) to you about your use of these three
designs.
The three prototypes are fully functional, and look pretty cool.
One of my clients has expressed an interest in the rack mount 16 unit
systems, once Apple starts shipping openly.
Because of the power of these MacPro, I will not provide any goods or
services for them unless you are a U.S. Citizen, and this is done on
U.S. soil, and there is an agreement in place that you will not export
these monsters or provide them to any person or entity that it not a
biological U.S. Citizen.
There is a major TSCM application for this system, as well and a "NSA is
going to crap themselves" application for this as well, as four of these
systems can decipher a TACLANE KG-175 DS-3 broadband feed in real time,
but 16 of these on a shelf can decrypt four DS-3's from a KG-175 in real
time. Consider it to be tit-for-tat (ie: fuck-the-pigs). One MacPro per
fiber, 16 fibers per tray, parallel processing by way of the Thunderbolt
interface to create one virtual machine per tray, 8 trays per rack.
I have access to several of the new MacPro, and to KG-175's (and other
DS-3 systems), and have experience in designing cryptographic siege
engines (code breakers) and have experience in DS and OC decryption design.
I have demonstrable "golden stage of development" prototypes, that are
capable of goign into production, once the MacPros start shipping.
Pushing to have 8 more prototypes of each of the three configuration
completed by the end of the month, and may move to a non aircraft alloy
of aluminum.
The source code is also mature, and fully functional.
