`27.Nov.2003` The CAPS Team (ANF)	CAPS Update The CAPS team (who concern themselves with the archiving of old, copy-protected Amiga games, to include copy-protection written on the flags) has converted another bunch of games into CAPS format. This format may for example be read by new UAE versions. A list of the new games is available from the CAPS homepage. In the meantime more than 1200 games have been archived, among them some very scarce titles such as "Hacker" or a few of the first games from Electronic Arts. CAPS is now looking for people who own other original games and would like to help with the archiving. Additionally the Amiga version of CAPS Library, which makes possible the use mounting of diskette images that are then worked on by CAPS, is being overhauled.

`22.Nov.2003` CCC (email)	CCC: central saving of biometrical data endangers constitutional rights The approach of the "Bund Deutscher Kriminalbeamten" (BDK) to save biometrical characteristics of all European citizens in a central data base causes hardest reservations at the Chaos Computer Club (CCC); the constitutional rights of informational self-determination would then be abolished in a fundamental area - while the use for the combating of crime isn't even proofed. The CCC opposes especially against the idea of a central data saving as it has been last demanded by the speaker of the "Bund deutscher Kriminalbeamten", Holger Bernsee. In the view of the CCC the potential misuse and possible desires in the context of a central data tracking is out of all proportion to the possible gain in the combating of crime that (the possible gain) can be realized with a technically clearly less democracy endangering system.
