    When they control what you can read and see, they controll your mind. Of course it wont be illegal to read any of these(probably) but how many people will check them out to read once they realize that this will automaticaly get a record started on them with the FBI. I odnt know about you, but i buy my copy of 2600 with cash. How much longer will that be possible?

  4. low tech?? Hydroponics is the way to go!! on Gardening for Geeks? · · Score: 2

    Just kidding. Sort of. I always wanted to grow hydroponic watermellons in the college dorm lounge. Didint quite work out.

    For some serious advice:
    Dont get hybrid seed. Get regualr seed, and reuse the most succesful ones for next year. THat way yore more likely to wind up with plants that are more adopted for your particular climate conditons.
    This is especially true for things like apple tress.

    ANd actually, hydroponics might be an intersting way for you to go. Im planning to try ot do the exact same thng in my backyard. I actually have a small indoor turtle pond, and i want to work the filtration system for that by using the plants. Ive done that before on limited basis, and the plants love it. Plus, im sure the turtle appreciates the filtration.

    And if thats not a geeky enough gardening idea for you, youre on your own.

    Since they just claimed ownership of anything passing throug there servers, then those songs i downloaded arent really mine, therefore the RIAA can just attack the isp. Hey, and someone e-mail someone in austraila some child pron, lets nail the isp for owning that too!!!

    FOllow this woman around with a camcorder for a week. DOnt go in her house(although, by her stance, why shouldnt a cop be able to film her in the shower), but post the videos of every burp, trip to the bathroom (with sound) and nosepick, along with her daily schedule, her routes to and from work, comments about her body etc. Go through her trash, and list everything.

    I think shes assuming that by privacy, everyone ELSE BUT HER can be investigated.

    1: All cds stored on the server must be phsically surrenederd and stored at the company so that only one copy can be used at once.

    This satisfies all the fair use clauses, i believe, and you will STILL have you asses sued off.

    summary

    Although completely suppressed by the U.S. media and government, the answer to the Iraq enigma is simple yet shocking -- it is an oil currency war. The real reason for this upcoming war is this administration's goal of preventing further Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) momentum towards the euro as an oil transaction currency standard. However, in order to pre-empt OPEC, they need to gain geo-strategic control of Iraq along with its 2nd largest proven oil reserves. This essay will discuss the macroeconomics of the `petro-dollar' and the unpublicized but real threat to U.S. economic hegemony from the euro as an alternative oil transaction currency. The author advocates reform of the global monetary system including a dollar/euro currency `trading band' with reserve status parity, and a dual OPEC oil transaction standard. These reforms could potentially reduce future oil currency warfare.
