Prof. John Yudkin published research implicating sugar as long ago as the late 1950s and published a book "Pure White and Deadly" in 1972. Of course, the sugar industry went all out to destroy him. Now we should treat the sugar industry like we treated the tobacco industry, prosecute, regulate and class action.
Back in 75-77 the BBC produced 3 excellent series called Survivors, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivors, about a pandemic which eventually killed about 90% of the population. Series 1 looked at what might happen as a pandemic started to remove the people who run the infrastructure of modern civilisation.
There's a very good reason to close the lid. Several years ago Penguin Books published a book called "Bathroom", it seemed to be a Masters thesis. There was one part showing what happens when a toilet is flushed without closing the lid. The flushing generates an aerosol of the bowl contents and, with the lid open, some droplets travel as far as 2 metres(6 feet). They showed this by sterilising the walls of the room, marking them in a grid, coating the walls with agar jelly, using the toilet, flushing with the lid open and then closing the room for several days to allow the cultures to grow. Analysing the cultures showed what was the likely source. There were several photographs of the experiment.
if the powerlines companies were liable for even a small part of the losses caused by line failures, then the costs of going underground would probably be a lot less than going overground. in auckland, nz, we recently suffered a major power outage in the central business district due to the failure of a corroded shackle holding an overhead earth line at a switching sub-station. if only the cost to business of that outage were factored into the lines cost, it would definitely be cheaper to go underground. not only lines could go underground but also switching stations.
from what i've read, nicotine is the primary carcinogen in tobacco, no matter how you consume it. snuff causes nasal cancer, chewing causes mouth cancer, pipe smoking causes mouth, lips and osesophogeal cancer, cigarette smoking causes lung cancer. even tobacco-farm workers get cancer.

Human Gene Mutation CCR-5-delta-32
There is apparently a human gene mutation, "Mutation CCR-5-delta-32", which makes its holders nearly immune to AIDS, since this gene has no receptor for AIDS-similar viruses.
Whoever has inherited this gene from BOTH parents is fairly immune to AIDS. Whoever has inherited this gene from only ONE parent also has a good deal of immunity. (The immunity is not perfect in either case, since rare strains of AIDS can use the receptor CXCR 4).

i used www.google.co.nz and initially there were 98 photos for "abu ghraib", none for lyndie england. however search instead for "abu ghurayb prison" and you get 2 links to global security org and there you get all the prisoner abuse photographs.
America's favourite, guns - it is legal to make them, it is legal to own them, it is legal to use them. It is not legal to kill a person regardless of whether you use guns or anything else. In either case the device is not the problem rather it is how it is used. P2p software has many valuable uses. Piracy of software(music, video, etc) is already illegal as theft it and doesn't matter how you do it, whether by swapping disks or p2p or any other way.
i have several usb memory devices 128MB and 256MB, but the largest device i have is a 40GB 2.5inch drive(fujitsu i think) installed in a generic external 2.5inch case with a usb2 interface. this one is excellent and very fast.
i'm sure 20 years ago ibm's dos/vse, vm and mvs used to do this to allow an ordinary user to run one program which required the services of another so could invoke the other program to run with elevated priviledges. the priviledges were associated with the program not the user.
there is also evidence that leukemia incidence is higher for powerline workers, radio operators and people living near high power transmission systems. it may not be the power fields themselves but the effects of those fields on nuclear particles.

how about dasher, the prototype was in 1998.
then the demos don't work :-)

yes it is in geosynchronous orbit, it says so on the inmarsat site. i wonder how the latency will affect the link?

in addition to ad-aware and spybot we use spywareblaster by javacoolsoftware.com and a hosts file from blackviper.com.

two words "obstinate" and "obscure" and got the result that they are not in the archive. What has happened to the language?

reminds me very much of the day of the triffids, and isn't there a meteorite shower due soon?
it seems they run a flavour of bsd and apache. i guess they just don't like gnu/linux but other open source is ok.
