Ive spent many years playing around with computer security (the last two years were spent at Counterpane Internet Security) and I never heard of a NDIS.
Network Detection Intruder System? Is this for intruding on Network Detection setups?:^P
The United States is against most of the rest of the world over a very significant issue, what's called the "precautionary principle." That means, is there a right for people to say, I don't want to be a subject in some experiment you're carrying out? At the personal level that is permissible. For example, if somebody comes into your office from the university biology department and says, "You're going to be a subject in an experiment I'm carrying out. I'm going to stick electrodes into your brain and measure this, that, and the other thing, then you're permitted to say, I'm sorry, I don't want to be a subject. They are not allowed to come back to you and say, You have to be, unless you can provide scientific evidencethat this is going to harm you.They're not allowed to do that, but the U.S. is insisting on exactly that internationally
In the negotiations at Montreal, the United States, which is the center of the big biotech industries and genetic engineering, was demanding that the issue be determined under WTO rules. According to those rules, the experimental subjects have to provide scientific evidence that it's going to harm them, or else the transcendant value of corporate rights prevails and they can do what they want. That's what Ed Herman calls "producer sovereignty."

So what you are saying is that you want to be an experimental subject? I for one don't want to volunteer to be an experimental subject, despite the fact that I don't have scientific proof that GM foods cause harm.
Do you realize that the "Flavr Savr" Tomato from Monsanto is created by combining the genes of a fish with that of a Tomato? Or did you know that RoundUp(tm) Ready Corn grows in Pesticide? Farmers are told right on the seed packages not to handle the seeds with their bare hands. On top of that they can't save their seeds either. What is most alarming is that the odious biotech companies like Monsanto are bringing lawsuits against organic farmers whose crops have been cross pollinated by the GM varieties, saying that the farmers owe them money for "patent infringement".
Of course you would know all of this if you bothered to do any research at all, instead of regurgitating what you heard on CNN, or the O'Reilly Factor.

Another Question: what is a NDIS?
