    Left on a military computer, i'd say that message could be quite significant.

    Yep, it's in here, all right. OK, i've only just glanced at it, but it says some stuff about environment, path (jeez, maybe those buddhists are right...), and something about cats. And to think that i believed all of that stuff about apes. Cats - who woulda thunk?!

    Agreed. i mentioned the sarin attack first as it had just come to mind. You're both correct - it's chemical in nature. i was going to mention the anthrax letters, as well. Thanks - i forgot. Oh, and Aum was workig on an anthrax angle for awhile (they tried to buy a helicopter in Russia; they wanted to dust Tokyo).

    Yes, the salmonella story is true. It was in Oregon, btw.

    Yes, i was mixing chem with bio; though i assure you that im well aware of the difference. Please don't let that slip-up keep you from learning more about this. Knee-jerk reactions get you nowhere.

    We've come a long way from having diseased corpses flung over the city walls at us. It's going to get much nastier.

    Only if it's effective

    Who cares for effective. Individuals and groups have been hijacking aircraft for decades. Sometimes they get away, sometimes they're intercepted, and sometimes they do massive amounts of damage. Sometimes, it 'works'. Think of it as 'faster, better, cheaper' (and, certainly, to some degree, 'out of control'). Point is, they'll get some hits.

    'Bio-terror', in this sense, has already occured. The Aum Shinrikyo sarin attack in Tokyo, for example. Read The Cult at the End of the World , for information about some other things they considered.

    Some peolple involved with the Bagwaan Rajneesh (sp?) group were charged with spiking local salad bars with salmonella in a bid to tilt a council vote in there favor some years ago. i believe this was in Utah.

    Some people have wondered if the recent foot & mouth flare-up in England might have been a hostile attack. Or, at least, that it could be, in the very near future.

  17. Re:Some Thoughts on Joe Clark's Answers -- In Valid XHTML · · Score: 1

    how difficult is it to create websites with text to speech software in mind?
    No, not at all. This is the point of seperating the content from presentation. Doing so allows a user-agent to do its job. When Joe was going on about empty alt attributes, he's refering to text-to-speech browsers.

    Creating accessible sites is really not that difficult, despite what many here are moaning about. Check out some of these links:
