Dear Colleague,

On behalf of the 2009 USENIX Annual Technical Conference program
committee, we request your ideas, proposals, and papers for tutorials,
refereed papers, and posters.

Authors are invited to submit original and innovative papers to the
Refereed Papers Track of the 2009 USENIX Annual Technical Conference.
Papers can be either full papers of at most 14 pages or short
papers of at most 6 pages. Authors are required to submit papers by
11:59 p.m. PST, Friday, January 9, 2009. (Note new deadline.)

In full papers, we seek high-quality submissions that further the
knowledge and understanding of modern computing systems, with an
emphasis on implementations and experimental results. Short papers
should describe early ideas, advocate a controversial position, or
present interesting results that do not require a full-length paper. We
encourage papers that break new ground or present insightful results
based on practical experience.

The USENIX conference has a broad scope. Specific topics of interest
include but are not limited to:

Messenger Plus! Live is the one essential add-on for Windows Live
Messenger. Installed more than 350 million times since 2001, when it
started as a simple add-on for MSN Messenger 3, Messenger Plus! is
guaranteed to improve your Messenger experience by leaps and bounds.
You won't just get a couple of new options, what you'll get is a whole
new dimension for the Windows Live Messenger software.

because it contains the CipherPacket source-code/algorithm ]

Majestec is a security screen doors and window grilles. Majestec
products are difficult to cut and jemmy, superior than conventional
bars and grilles. Our doors and windows may look like ordinary
flyscreens. But, they are actually "Clear Vision Security" that allows
cool breezes through your home.

Majestec products are tested for impact resistance, knife shear, jemmy
and pull tests. Majestec products have met or exceeded these tests,
making it difficult for intruders to cut, break through or enter your
home.

Majestec products protect the glass/timber doors and windows from
breakage and damage that may be caused by wind-borne debris due to
storms, hurricanes or cyclones.

Have you ever been humiliated and embarrassed when your most private
files were discovered by a snoop? Would you like to protect your files
and folders from discovery by nosy family members, jealous co-workers,
rivals and thieves? Folder Castle 2.2 is everything you need to
protect your files and peace of mind at home and in the workplace.

MagneticSoft today announces Folder Castle 2.2, the newest upgrade of
the security software for protecting computer files from snoops and
thieves. Now, Folder Castle can hide files and folders automatically
when you log off, shut down the system, or switch to another user. The
latter capability is available on Windows XP and Vista. Another new
feature enables you to change the hot keys to personal preferences.

Folder Castle provides two methods to keep computer files away from
prying eyes. You can lock away files and folders, which literally gets
confidential materials off the screen in a moment. Or you can...
