Don't use 'em. I never knew a real-life computer crime cop or investigator who paid any attention to deciphering encryption. I regard this as a 99% theoretical form of "security." Using big number-crunching high-tech to protect the brief transmission of Internet email gives people a false sense of security. If you get in trouble, it won't be because you were tapped and cracked by the NSA. It'll be because somebody you trusted ratted on you (or because you bragged). Trust me on this. If you're really worried about your privacy, stop using credit cards and shred your trash. __
say you're eating a genetically modified apple. The seeds drop into your flowerpot and starts growing, and voilà - you have to pay!
That's why Monsanto uses the Terminator gene. Descendants of a Terminator seed are sterile. At the same time, Monsanto makes the farmer dependant and reduces genetically engineered being in the wild. __
if for instance a Colorado bug gets to a Monsanto potato and starts eating, in a few minutes it falls dead on the ground.
And people are supposed to eat that food.
Actually every raw potato is poisonous. It was hard to convince European peasants that they are edible after cooking.
And a relative of potatoes is tobacco, whose leaves contains dangerous alcaloids, like nicotine. But nobody will tell to smokers. Er, wait... __

I understand that by quickly switching frequencies, your emissions can be harder to jam or intercept, but how can it be easy to be listened to by friends and hard to be listened to by foes, at the same time? __
I read an interview with a cosmonaut that spent more than 2 years there. He said that Mir's time was past. Some of the components were more expensive to repair than starting again. Though, he didn't understand why some of the equipment wasn't salvaged. It was very costly.
He also missed some of his personal things (books, a computer) that he had to leave in the station. So if you are in the Pacific and want a Russian laptop, one could fall onto your hands. __

conclusion: Natural ecosystems need not suffer substantial presence of intensive agriculture and global warming CO2 can be sequestered from the atmosphere in the process.
But that CO2 taken from the air is released at least partially when they are consumed. It's not as if CO2 is incorporated into jungle trees that are left in a standalone cycle or as if it's subducted under the Earth crust __

If you're going to show violence, then show it for what it *is*, and show it the way people would react to it.
That should make gore films all right.

That's why you fix your vulnerabilities as they are discovered.
We should try to fix our vulnerabilities before they are discovered.

Hint: The Earth is curved....
Why, because Encarta says so? It also says that the NASA landed on the Moon in 1969.
