Saudi Arabia says it is a full partner in President Bush's "war on terror," and a victim of terrorism, according to a document that Patton Boggs has distributed to staffers on Capitol Hill.
The Embassy's "Background FAQ" deals with "hot button" issues such as "Saudi Support for Osama bin Laden," "Alleged Saudi Funding for Terrorism," "Saudi Freezing of Assets," "Saudi Education System and Anti-Americanism," "Saudi Arabia and Suicide Bombers," and "Stability in Saudi Arabia."
Here are highlights:
Re: bin Laden. "Osama bin Laden is a dissenter who has taken the side of evil. His citizenship was revoked in the early 1990s on account of his irresponsible acts and he remains unpopular among our citizens. As a nation, we are horrified by his actions and we reject what he and his followers stand for. They are deviants and criminals whose actions we strongly reject. People must understand that we are also victims of Osama bin Laden's terrorist acts."
Re: terror funding. "The Crown Prince has said unequivocallyâ"âNo honorable man would accept terrorism.' Saudi Arabia does not support or contribute to terrorism. We never have, and we never will. Terrorism is against our religion and culture, and we have been victims of it for the past four decades. We monitor all financial transactions to ensure that no money goes to evildoers."

London - An opposition group confirmed yesterday that fifteen prisoners were executed on August 10, 2001 by placing them inside a specially designed gas chamber, Nazi-style, and then releasing a poisonous gas through vents, inside the presidential diwan.
The Centre for Human Rights in the Iraqi Communist Party said in a statement sent to Kuna the horrific crime was committed under direct supervision of Qusay, the younger son of the Iraqi ruler Saddam Hussein.
The victims were packed inside the room, before releasing the gas. They were dead within 27 seconds. Their bodies were left there for one hour until the gas was extracted through a special vent, it added.
This barbaric crime was filmed on video and the film was shown to Qusay Saddam Hussein.
The Iraqi regime is continuing its notorious "prison clean-up" campaign which has so far claimed more than 3,000 prisoners and detainees, the opposition group concluded.
On another front, 10 leading members of Congress have urged President George W. Bush to make Iraq the next target in the US war on terrorism, saying it has reinvigorated its weapons programmes in the three years since UN inspectors left.
"As we work to clean up Afghanistan, it is imperative that we plan to eliminate the threat from Iraq," said the letter, dated yesterday.
"This December will mark three years since United Nations inspectors last visited Iraq. There is no doubt that since that time, Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programmes." Among those signing the letter were Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott, House International Relations Committee Chairman Henry Hyde, the ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Jesse Helms, former presidential candidate Sen. John McCain and former Democratic vice presidential candidate Sen. Joseph Lieberman.
The letter is the latest in a string of calls for a renewed offensive against Iraq and President Saddam Hussein once the Afghanistan campaign ends.
The US launched its war on Afghanistan after its ruling Taleban refused to give up Osama bin Laden and his Al Qaeda network, blamed for the Sept. 11 attack on the United States that killed nearly 4,000 people.
Sen. Helms acknowledged in a speech on Wednesday that the United States does not know if Saddam was directly involved with the Sept. 11 attacks. Still, he said, "there is a mountain of evidence linking him to international terrorism generally and to bin Laden's terrorist network specifically." In their letter, the lawmakers said international sanctions levied against Iraq are riddled with loopholes and illegal oil sales could not be contained by the administration.
"Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programmes continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status," the letter said, adding: "We believe we must directly confront Saddam, sooner rather than later.
"The threat from Iraq is real, and it cannot be permanently contained," the letter said.
UN inspectors, who had been working since the 1991 Gulf War to ensure Baghdad did not develop weapons of mass destruction, left Iraq in December 1998.
The lawmakers also urged support for the Iraqi National Congress (INC), saying the United States had learned from Afghanistan the importance of working effectively with local opposition on the ground.
A leader of the INC, Ahmed Chalabi, met on Thursday with the Republican policy conference on Capitol Hill.
Bush recently demanded that Saddam allow weapons inspections to resume and said he would "find out" the consequences if he refused.
But Secretary of State Colin Powell told Nato ally Turkey on Wednesday that the United States had no immediate plans to extend its war on terrorism to Iraq. -- Agencies

This seems more like a FAQ on SlashCode or a give away item at shows then an actual book.
There's been a series of stories about oil wells refilling themselves lately. One of the ideas is that our current source of oil is from methane that was trapped beneath the Earth's surface at the big bang, and from fosilized animals. This story could actually be further evidence of that idea.
An alternate theory is that their is a biomass layer bacteria below the surface of the Earth that is producing methane. That methane is then changed into oil by heat, preasure, and the filtration to the surface of the. Haven't you noticed that most oil well are dug where there is a large amount of sandstone and other porous rock?
When you get a printer just get a PostScript 3 compatable printer. As long as you pipe the the postscript right out to the printer you will never have to worry.
You made have to tweak the PPD file some, but thats half the fun:)

Why did it take him 4 years since he first got the patent to do something about? He got his first patent in 1998, and in 2000 eBay came to the guy and tried buy access to his patent.
eBay didn't get what they wanted so they went out, improved on the concept[not the patent] and made money.
Sounds like this is more about sour grapes then patent infringement.
I need the check out the picture Star Trek of the new show 'Next Generation'. My friend said it on FidoNet and I need to fetch this week's package. This will be sweet, the pic is sippose to be in 256 colors!
By the way has anyone seen WarGames yet? My aunt's C64 was done and I couldn't go.
This was a drama, that must likely did happen in the 80's. God help us all!
PortWineBoy asked 'It seems interesting to me but does it have any implications or applications? Any thoughts on how something like this could be used elsewhere?'
A couple of ideas: Biomechinic's would be a great field. Imagine the bionic actually placed inside the body and powered and controled by the radio emmisions of the human body. Tempature wouldn't be an issue because we all regulate to around 98oF.
How about police radar guns? Every car has a EM signature. You could and trace. Radar detector would be useless because the guns would be using the background radiation instead of broadcasting a laser or microwave signal.
Remember when you had to use Copy ][ plus to copy 5 1/4" floppies on an Apple ][?
Remember when you brought copyrighted software that had purposeful holes punched into a diskette? Those holes emulated bad sectors and if you copied that data of the disk to another disk the sectors when be reordered. The new disk didn't have any bad sectors so it just tried to save space and compact the sectors. The pirated software would read the reordered sectors and go into a nasty recursive loop.
It took about 1-2 months for hackers on BBS's and FidoNet to find ways to create programs that locked out corisponding sectors and created new security sectors on the floppies.
How long do you think it will take for the internet community to find a similar loop hole on CD's?

BSD runs on PC.
Take a week, Kill Microsoft, port OSX to PC.
If your trying to make a logical argument, why do have you have to result to name calling?
No absolute statement is true.
If thats true then your irrelevant?
