CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL
by SODINDO MALINGA 15 Feb '03

15 Feb '03

0031613777023 HAARLEM, THE NETHERLANDS. CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL. You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. I am Sodindo Malinga, the first son of Tawanda Malinga,the most popular black farmer in Zimbabwe who was murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you. Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US8.6 million (Eight million, Six Hundred thousand United States dollars), in one of the private security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this money was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from security company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was one of the victims. It is against this background that, I and my family fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives and are currently staying in the Netherlands where we are seeking political asylum and moreso have decided to transfer my fathers money to a more reliable foreign account. since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of Netherlands, As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future, both countries have similar political history. As a businessman,I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make an arrangements with the security company to clear the consignment(funds) from their afiliate office here in the Netherlands as i have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the Netherlands from South Africa.But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of ownership to the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investmentment. I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 10% of the money while the remaining 85% will be for my investment in your country. Contact me with the above telephone number or my E-mail address while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction. Thanks, GOD BLESS YOU Yours Faithfully, Sodindo Malinga.

[GEM] pix_video_ds: DirectShow video capture for Windows
by Daniel Heckenberg 11 Feb '03

11 Feb '03

Hi All, The first release of pix_video_ds, a DirectShow based live video capture object for Windows platforms can be found at: http://www.bogusfront.org Features: Flexible video capture from any DirectShow supported device, including DV cameras. Limitations: - Relatively untested - DirectShow is very complicated and I have only tested with a small number of devices. Try it and let me know how you go! - Requires DirectShow 8 or greater (perhaps 8.1 or greater?) - Binary only release. Links against GEM v0.87 I'll roll this object into GEM itself once it is stable and tested. A final note: I'll be travelling for the next week so I will not be able to provide any support/reply to any email until my return. Good luck, daniel ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/

URGENT & CONFIDENTIAL.
by DR. AUSTIN MAKEBA 11 Feb '03

11 Feb '03

Dr. Austin Makeba E-mail: austinmakeba26(a)netscape.net STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL & URGENT. Dear Sir, I am Dr. Austin Makeba, a native of Cape Town in South Africa and I am an Executive Accountant with the South Africa Department of Mining & Natural Resources. First and foremost, I apologized using this medium to reach you for a transaction/business of this magnitude, but this is due to Confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium. Be informed that a member of the South Africa Export Promotion Council (SEPC) who was at the Government delegation to your country during a trade exhibition gave your enviable credentials/particulars to me. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in the execution of the deal described Here under for the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it as a top secret because of the nature of this transaction. Within the Department of Mining & Natural Resources where I work as an Executive Accountant and with the cooperation of four other top officials, we have in our possession as overdue payment bills totaling Twenty - Six Million, Five Hundred Thousand U. S. Dollars ($26,500,000.) which we want to transfer abroad with the assistance and cooperation of a foreign company/individual to receive the said fund on our behalf or a reliable foreign non-company account to receive such funds. More so, we are handicapped in the circumstances, as the South Africa Civil Service Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate offshore account hence your importance in the whole transaction. This amount $26.5m represents the balance of the total contract value executed on behalf of my Department by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced deliberately. Though the actual contract cost have been paid to the original contractor, leaving the balance in the tune of the said amount which we have in principles gotten approval to remit by Telegraphic Transfer (T.T) to any foreign bank account you will provide by filing in an application through the Justice Ministry here in South Africa for the transfer of rights and privileges of the former contractor to you. I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be willing to assist us in the transaction, your share of the sum will be 25% of the $26,.5 million, 70% for us and 5% for taxation and miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100% safe, on your part provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. Also your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me. Endeavor to contact me immediately through my above e-mail address, whether or not you are interested in this deal. If you are not, it will enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out this deal I want to assure you that my partners and myself are in a position to make the payment of this claim possible provided you can give us a very strong Assurance and guarantee that our share will be secured and please remember to treat this matter as very confidential matter, because we will not comprehend with any form of exposure as we are still in active Government Service and remember once again that time is of the essence in this business. I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation. Yours faithfully, Dr. Austin Makeba.

PiDiP 0.8.2 [ EARLY STREAMING ]
by Yves Degoyon 10 Feb '03

10 Feb '03

hi, i've released a new version of PiDiP that includes the new pdp_ffmpeg~ object that lets you stream video and audio to an ffmpeg server. well, in fact, i do not recommend to stream the audio using this object because PDP is somewhat asynchronous and you cannot guarantee the audio will be streamed steadily. so, better stick to the former solution and use mp3cast~ to stream audio. 0.8.2 added pdp_ffmpeg~ : stream to a ffmpeg server with possibly several formats ( mpeg, asf, ... ) NOTE : although there is an experimental audio streaming possibility, there are BIG synchronization issues and it's recommended to use mp3cast~ for audio streaming. added a ratio action in pdp_ascii added a planes number action in pdp_quark and pdp_nervous ( plays on speed of switching ) fixed index bug in pdp_ctrack, pdp_cmap enjoy !! sevy/yves PS : the installation of PiDiP is now getting rather tricky, you need : imlib2 aalib ffmeg : the sources
