Have a look at this link Think Mars. Its a site advocating human exploration of Mars. There's a petition that you can sign to urge world leaders to commit themselves to the exploration of mars.
There's an article in my local newspaper, presumably taken from the NYT. To quote:
'And while hackers were the main suspects in most published reports, it was the federal government that raised eyebrows in the chat rooms. "Maybe it wil turn out to be a couple of 12-year olds somewhere and maybe it won't," said Mr Michael Sims, one of many at www.slashdot.org, suggesting that the media investigate possible government involvment. "The national security apparatus of the United States has the means, motive, and opportunity to have done this." That motive, several said, would be to bolster the Clinton administration's request for more money to counter illegal Internet activity.'
How boring. No lights going off or chaos breaking out. It's better this way, but it does seem like a very big anti-climax after all the hype. However, we'll have to wait till Europe and the America's rollover before we can say that everything's OK. If bombs start going off over the US or if some religious fanatic firebombs the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, then we're in big trouble.
Glad to hear that quite a few people turned up. I wish I could have been there. I'd like to have seen the look on the DVD CCA people's faces. I hope that there will be as least as strong a showing on Jan 14th.

What declassified NSA documents is the article talking about? I find it quite hard to belive that the NSA would declassify anything.
