What is truely disturbing is that in this current litigious mentality of the US, doctors are more likely to address the symptoms rather than the source. Gives new meaning to 'take two asprin and call me in the morning'.

Logging protester killed by falling tree, activist group says
Published Aug. 26, 1998
Sacramento Bee
FORTUNA, Calif. (AP) -- An activist was struck in the head and killed by a falling tree Thursday afternoon while trying to block the logging of ancient redwoods on Pacific Lumber Co. land, Earth First! said.
The radical environmental group said David Chain, who uses the nom-de-guerre "Gypsy," was standing among redwoods marked for logging and trying to dissuade tree fellers when he was killed.
A fellow protester who fled the scene reported that the impact cracked open Chain's skull, said Earth First! co-founder Daryl Cherney, who said sheriff's deputies told the group he died at the scene.
"It's easy to get hit by a tree out there," said Cherney. "Even experienced activists or seasoned people -- it doesn't matter. One time I found myself in a hole and had to scramble out before the tree fell."
Pacific Lumber did not return telephone messages seeking comment. The Humboldt County Sheriff's department and the California Department of Forestry confirmed only that they were responding to a logging accident.
Earth First! had staged a 12-day protest against the logging of an ancient redwood stand along Grizzly Creek, in a ravine near the mill town of Fortuna, about 300 miles up the coast from San Francisco.
Eight of the group's activists had been arrested Wednesday on trespassing charges. Thursday was the first day the group engaged in the more aggressive tactic they call "cat and mouse," putting their bodies in harm's way.
The protesters say the logging, on land adjacent to a "lesser cathedral" of centuries-old redwoods purchased under the $495 million Headwaters Agreement, is destroying the protected habitat of the Marbled Murrelet, an endangered seabird that nests in the tops of the majestic trees.

Please note this is a thinly veiled attempt to increase offshore viewership. With the book "review" revenue, and subscriptions waning, the guidance for Roberto is to diversify viewership.

Remeber the hype of emachines? They were medicro PC's for a reasonable price. Reasonable until there was a technical challenge. Hopefully these won't see the same negative consumer backlash. The Linux community can not afford the humiliation. I fear the "not-us" technical pit.

"In its early days the net was as decentralised, as possible with multiple links between many of the nodes forming it. If one node disappeared, traffic could easily flow to other links and route traffic to all parts.
However, said the researchers, the increasing commercialisation of the net has seen the emergence of large hubs that act as key distribution points for some parts of the web."
As a result, the net has become much more vulnerable to attack.
