Hi:

I’m thinking of a new type of public internet café. This internet café
is in hypothetical shopping mall similar to the Brea Mall in the Brea
city of Southern California of USA. The floors and walls are carpeted
with black carpet throughout the mall – excluding the restrooms and
food courts – where carpet would be obviously difficult to keep
clean.

There are as many PCs in this café as there are chairs. All chairs as
comfortable [and with the most luxurious, convenient and healthy
features as one can get – such as wheels and adjustable height]. This
of type of chair is commonly used in offices.

Each PC has a dial-up controller-based [i.e. purely-hardware] modem.

All PCs in this Café are *desktop* and the tables are mounted to the
wall. For anonymity, each PC has its own wearable monitor. This is a
plasma-based monitor which looks like virtual-reality goggles. To
maintain health of the eyes, this monitor has a reverse-telescope lens
[which makes the visual-entities on the monitor more distant from the
user’s eyes]. To make those visual-entities easier to see, a
microscope lens is used. One lens is place in front of this tiny
wearable monitor, while the other lens is placed in front of that
lens. Of course, both lenses are inside this monitor. This plasma
monitor has the following has anti-burn-in technology, is 1080p-
compatible, and has the fastest refresh rate possible.

The internet access is free dial-up only. This is to help maintain
anonymity and for the IP addresses to be dynamic. There are ISPs that
voluntarily provide dial-up for free and without the customer needing
to set up an account – simply dial the number and you’. This means, it
will be more difficult for the ISP to cut off service to the café due
to clients venting their anger and attacking chat rooms with socially-
unacceptable text.

Each PC, modem, and telephone line have the following characteristics:

1. The only ROM is mask-programmed ROM

2. The only RAM is a hypothetical form of volatile RAM chips in which
all info is completely lost in 100th-of-a-second-or-less after the
netbook is turned-off. Even theoretically there is no way to recover
this data unless one completely re-powers before 100th-of-a-second
after power-off.

3. The OS is installed on ROM chips

4. All IDs -- such as the MAC addresses [including that of the dial-up
modem], the CPUID, IP address etc. -- are totally dynamic. When the
netbook is powered-offed, these IDs disappear without leaving a trace.
When the netbook is switched on, new IDs are generated. In addition,
this netbook uses the least amount of IDs and timestamps required to
operate itself and access the internet.

5. There is no malware [e.g. rootkits] installed in any of the ROM
chips.

6. Chips of the hypothetical RAM listed in #3 substitute for the HDD

7. The clock skew of the PC varies such that clock-skew-fingerprinting
would be a totally-useless technique to those trying to identify the
computer.

8. Uses dumb terminals for dial-up internet access

9. Chips of the hypothetical RAM listed in #2 substitute for the HDD

10. There is absolutely no hint of:
A. ActiveX
B. Internet Explorer
C. Java
D. JavaScript
E. Audio software/hardware
F. Software/hardware for images, graphics, animation, or movies
G. Webcam capability
H. Flash
J. Shockwave
I. HTML
K. DHTML
L. Any type of scripting/scripts
M. Any type of mark-up/modeling language.

11. The chat software [which is built into a ROM chip] is fully
compatible with everything in #10. In addition, this chat protocol has
the following characteristics:

A. No download/installation of anything necessary

B. Does not require ActiveX or Internet Explorer

C. Does not use or require Java or JavaScript

D. Most difficult for other chatters to figure out my IP address, MAC
address, and other electronic IDs.

E. Is text-only [not able to transmit/receive files, images, or other
nonsense]

F. Does not allow uploading/downloading to/from other chatters

G. Does not allow one individual to message another individual.

H. Does not have any IM/PM capability [when I post my message, I want
everyone in the chat room to see it. In addition, I just hate it when
other chatters PM/IM me.]

I. Is real-time - i.e. I post my message and those in the room can
immediately reply to me.

J. Transmits/receives small amounts of text rapidly - unlike Usenet
which transmits/receives large amounts of
text slowly.

K. Allows me to be nameless and still access the chat rooms with a
blank screen name.

L. Does not give away my email address

M. Does not allow access to audio/video - e.g. no webcam capability

N. Does not require an email address for confirmation

O. Does not use or require HTML, DHMTL, or anything similar

P. Does not require any login or password

Q. Does not require registration

R. Uses the least amount of bandwidth, memory, and CPU power.

S. Generates random usernames for chat rooms and does not allow users
to choose their names – this measure
prevent impersonation of real people. These random usernames consist
of random characters.

12. The modem is for dial-up internet access and is an MPSK-based.
Most modems use QAM but the modems in this hypothetical café’s PCs use
MPSK with the most amounts of bits-per-symbol possible without the bit-
error-rate getting too high.

QAM = Quadrature-Amplitude-Modulaton

MPSK = Multiple-Phase-Shift- Keying.

13. Each PC has its own modem and each modem has its own telephone
line. Each phone line has its own phone number and ANI [Automatic
Number Identification]. The ANI, phone numbers, and other telephony
IDs are all dynamic – i.e. once the PC disconnects from the internet,
these IDs disappear without leaving a trace. Prior to re-connection,
new random IDs are generated. Once again, the least amount of IDs
necessary are used – for example, there is no caller ID.

14. All the electronics in the café are as eco-friendly as possible.
This means heavy reliance on hash, ROM, and look-up tables.

15. All electronics in the coffee shop are tempest-shielded to assist
in maintain anonymity.

Use of internet in this café is not free. Users must pay in quarters.
Each PC has its own coin slot, where customers insert coins prior to
using the PC. The PC does not accept credit cards, debit, or other
forms of electronic payment – due to security risks. In addition, the
PCs don’t accept dollar bills or checks – here is why. Bills and
checks are made of paper [which can burn at high-temperatures].

So what are these high-temperatures required for? To erase
fingerprints, DNA, hair, body-oils, and other forms of evidence that
would be on the coins from customers using them. As soon as the coins
are inserted, permission to use the computer is granted. Right after
the insertion, the coins are efficiently and safely heated until hot
enough to completely obliterate any biological or chemical evidence on
them.

After the coins are heated, they are then efficiently cooled to a
temperature safe for handling. After cooling, these coins then pass
through a device that collects coins from all PCs and shuffles them to
make it much more difficult to figure out which computer the coin came
from.

This hypothetical café does not monitor or log any internet activity.

Though the café’ patrons don’t have to pay for internet access, they
*do* have to pay the telephone company for providing the lines -- else
they won't have access to the telephone system to get the physical
access for a dial-up connection. To maintain anonymity for the coffee
shop, its patrons, and customers, the staff pay the phone company in
quarters only. From the PCs directly to the location of the phone
company, there is a device that will physically transport coins. Of
course this process is slow but it gets the job done. So in using the
PCs, the customers are providing the money for the shop’s internet
access.
