Grass is not good for you (apart from some exceptions) - you aren't a cow.

The idea is to drive out the grass with so called "weeds" like
(shouldn't be a problem in a temperate climate):

I have tried some but don't live on them. If you do, you might end up looking like some scrawny vegan or like some of those people who lived through the Irish famine, or if you focus too much on it, not live at all (this is just CYA for the nutcases).

This is actually interesting. Would the aforementioned plants allow you to survive better than plain old grasses?

Now I noticed, you have goats and live in mostly dry Mediterranean California, that is a different story all together.

Besides, you have to look after the goats while you could be programming. Ok, a goat herder with a laptop and the dog doing the work, this may be a plan.

For a couple of years, we ran a project completely off the grid, no electric, no gas, no water. Our power rig was a small wind turbine (about 1m diameter) a solar panel, and a bank of about 10 batteries. We also used 12 volt, low power equipment - specialised lighting 12 volt TV's etc. Heating was from wood, cooking from bottled gas. With this set-up our electricity use was small and I don't think we ever ran out of juice. Cost of the rig was small comparable with the £1000 it would have cost to get a mains hookup.

I'm not sure it matters for most sites that the CAPTCHAs is crackable. Consider that you have some low profile site. Think of a cost benefit analysis for a spammer to write the code to break a non standard captcha, the cost is an hour of time say, the benefit is very low, maybe a few spam message will get through, which are quickly deleated. So basically its just not worth the spammers effort to break your custom capture. This is fine for most small site, it would not work for the likes of microsoft where there is considerable higher benefit. I've done this on my site and no one has bothered to break it.

On my site pfaf.org I use a simple Q&A type CAPTCHA plus human moderation. A non-standard captcha means that the cost for a spammer goes up, they have to write a specific code to break the captcha. The human moderation means that they get 0 value for sucess. End result they don't bother. My work is vastly reduced by using the capture as no spam to deal with.

There are very different means of protest. Some choose violence, some choose non-violence or pasive resistance. I chose not to use violence of any sort, this included physical and verbal violence. Your post is actually more violent than my actions.

Protest against REAL injustice, you petty little powderpuff!

The malasian airways protest was protesting about malasians wholescale clearence of rain forrests and the desplacement of the tribes people there. The action was done in solidarity with 30 malasian tribes people who were being held by their govenment. Read the archive of raisethefist. Every item them is about an injustice.

This is why, from 1930-2003 not ONE problem has been solved by student activists.

But so much has been changed by law breaking protest.

Suffrigetts - Womans right to vote, Ganhdi - independence for india. Swords into ploughshare brought the whole East Timor situation too the public eye. Earth First protest in the UK caused the govenment to re think roads program (some roads were halted). GM activists - changed the publics perception of GM food.

Yes direct action is not the only tool for the job. That is why are now prefer to work by spreading information see Plants For A Future.
