A lot of history will need to be rewritten as stories like this and similar ones enter the mainstream. Right now evidence that doesn't confirm the status quo is mostly ignored.
Works by people like Michael Cremo prove that the human race goes back millions of years. One thing that is shown is that there was a civilization before ours and before our history and it is mostly gone now. Tools are found in million year old geological areas.
You must not be listening to the Art Bell radio show. The guests on that show mostly talk about the face being an artificial construct. They also say that one of the reasons for keeping the preseence of the aliens a secret is that it will wipe the grin off all the debunkers on slashdot. They will lose interest in life and stop programming.
The reason we have stopped human exploration of space is so that people who can't keep the secret won't see anything. That is why a 'tourist' going into space is such a danger to NASA. People will now see this as a viable and profitable business and lots of people will go into space and reveal what they see.
The face on Mars theory hasn't been debunked. Richard Hoagland's website at www.enterprisemission.com has a lot of information on why. The pictures taken recently have been at strange angles and NOT the best resolution the camera can take. The spacecraft needs to crank up it's best resolution and take a good picture of the whole face. The new picture of the eyeball in the socket is good. The area around the face needs some good pictures as well.
Skeptical Inquirer debunks everything and so has no useful scientific purpose. The fact is people don't mistake a saucer flying 15 feet over their car for the moon or Venus! Certainly not thousands of people.
Digital enhancements of pictures often show better detail than the original. A fuzzy picture can be brought into focus.

It might be easier to get Denmark, than Russia or China, because Denmark is an EU member. Membership ties countries to all sorts of rules made by the other member countries. If a country doesn't abide by the EU laws, there are all kinds of sanctions.
Even the US copyright laws have been extended because of agreements with other countries.
Why do the hippies want to legalize pot? They have and grow all they want.
The reason pot was made illegal in the first place was because the fibre was a lot better than the new synthetics coming on the market.
Having pot illegal is just another reason for the gestapo to read your email and search you before you fly from one state to another.
If rotting vegetables catch on as a fuel, the oil companies will lobby to have it banned. They can make up some reason. Laetrile was banned as a cancer cure because the doktors said it didn't do anything!
The idea is that the number of people stealing the movies is still low enough that paying customers cover the costs. Sort of like shoplifting where a few extra percentage points goes into the cost of items to cover the stealing.
In construction projects there is a certain amount of 'loss.' However in one country there was so much corruption that the resulting factory didn't even work. The pipes carrying the chemicals were made with a cheaper material and so corroded quickly and were worthless. At that point the system has cannibalized itself and not worth further investment.
I typed the url in netscape without the jpg and the generation of new navigator windows brought my system down. Don't try this at home. I was looking for other interesting pictures. Should crud have given it away?
I suspect that people trying to get free songs are a lot like shoplifters. For each measure a store makes to protect it's property, shoplifters try to figure a way around it. They want to try out the CDs at home before deciding to send in the payment.:)
I tried to install a $40 version of Mandrake to compare it to Debian. The PartitionMagic and BootMagic programs included were so crippled as to be useless. This shows how programs not under GPL don't work when included with such an OS. Spending an extra $100 for 2 pieces of installation software is a bit steep. Then the desktop will want $50, $10 for ppp, $10 for telnet, $10 for man pages, etc.

So you are the one I have seen hanging around my house.
As the cross indexing of data bases gets better, they will be able to pick out your real address. With little bits of information combined together a person can fiugre out you are at a funeral and rob your house.
With adults getting scammed, children are even easier. By limiting information given out and/or collected, this is a nice preventive measure. An adult with a child will let them talk to someone in a Mickey Mouse costume, but not let them walk off alone together.
I doubt the fine even covers the cost of the investigation.
It is interesting that this follows the Fifth Utility closed circuit cameras article. But, like the British were posting, if you aren't guilty why worry about being watched all the time?:(
This is why... The expansion of cameras goes to following individual people and seeing who their friends are and what they have been up to as well.
Recently a French criminal case was solved using detective work. They got dna from thousands of people who were in the area of the crime. If they weren't guilty, why should they worry?:( Maybe just hang onto that dna and see who is a poor risk for insurance... It turns out the dna wasn't what resulted in the arrest in the first place. Isn't there a way to see who is going to do criminal activity in the future by looking at their dna?
Coupons are typical of a few past class action lawsuits. One was a video game company. People got a $5 coupon off a future game. Another was with Apple Inc and people got discounts on a future computer purchase. The lawyers get a good payout.
The coupons don't seem much better than you might get at a discount store.
Most people I know got their zips replaced after the click of death anyway.
If the parody is completely unbelievable, then there isn't room for the company to win.
Years ago...
National Lampoon did an ad with a picture of a volkswagon floating in water. The caption said, "If Ted Kennedy had been driving a volkswagon, he would be president now."
Enough people believed it that National Lampoon got into trouble. Not sure how much trouble. The strange thing is that there were people who thought volkswagon was running the ad.

What is NASA really looking for on Mars?

Mars Odyssey begins
·
· Score: 1
If NASA was really looking for life or past life on Mars, they would have better and more pictures of the Cydonia region. The shots taken of the face are often at low resolution and bad angles. The rest of the region needs more photographing. It isn't like the rest of Mars is more interesting.
This official web page shows the left side of the face with an eye in the socket:
The radio and tv programs need to send out a mailing or email that contains the indecent and obscene material. Then during the show they can say see 1 or 2 or 3 where the dirty word or joke is located.
Some of the sitcoms on tv would be saying see 1, 2 and up to 88 through the whole show.
The trouble with the discussion is the definition of hacker. In the general community, hacker does mean criminal.
I was listening to a radio show where they were talking about criminal use of computers. The word hacker was always used by the host and guest to mean criminal. Someone called in to dispute the definition. The host badgered the caller saying he was out of step. Strangely: The host read the definition of hacker out of the dictionary and the first was about doing something well (a good hack) and the second was about criminal activity. The host then said this proved his point! BUT it didn't.
It would be an uphill battle to get definition one back.
The Star Trek shows had quite a few good hackers. Spock probably wasn't considered a hacker because he wasn't evil. Scotty did a good hack looping himself in the transporter.
Some aliens arrived on earth and studied our culture and science. Before leaving they put a mark on a measuring stick. That number stored all the information.
I noticed this ebook copying problem a few days ago. While in alt.binaries.clocks looking for a desktop picture, I came across lots of science fiction ebooks. They don't show up in my newsreader now, but the illegal copies must be sitting in permanent storage somewhere.
The people downloading the ebooks must be the people interested in reading them and so would be the ones to buy them instead of stealing them.
What about the spamming of the clocks newsgroup? That might get the slashdotters hot under the collar.
> Once we start paying for the information itself, and stop paying for the representation, information stops being free.
This is already happening. I have a couple calendars that say it is illegal to remove the pictures, put them in frames and sell them. Apparently I am paying for the information (original pictures) and not the representation (physical pictures).
Part of the trouble is that we went to the moon and quit. After that we have just gone round and round the Earth with unlimited weightlessness experiments. The trip to Mars is said to take so long that weightlessness will cause a problem. Maybe they should swing a can of water over their head and wonder why the water doesn't come out. Maybe this will answer how to get to Mars with weight.
I believe we went to the moon, but the fact that we stopped going kind of points to the fact that we never went. Kind of like if the only RAM we could make today was in 32K sizes!
