Which is why HAL is such a bad example. HAL wasn't behaving unpredictably, or even crazy
HAL was behaving exactly how the script writer wrote him to behave.. perhaps THAT is why HAL is a bad example.... Lets forget about HAL, until we have 'HALS' around to work with...

Well.. according to the original site: Farmers in Ban Phon Kam and nearby villages are now able to grow surpluses of rice and other crops-thanks in part to organic farming techniques that Jhai helped introduce. To profit on their surplus, however, they need accurate and timely information about pricing in the market town of Phon Hong and the capital, Vientiane. from http://www.jhai.org/jhai_remoteIT.html
and
What Good Will It Do? The network will immediately enhance business and trade opportunities for organic rice and produce in market towns and the capital, Vientiane, and the establishment of a local market for sales of textiles and other products among the villages. Farmers in Ban Phon Kham and nearby villages are now able to grow surpluses of rice and other crops-thanks in part to organic farming techniques that Jhai Foundation helped introduce. To profit on their surplus, however, they need accurate and timely information about pricing in the market town of Phon Hong and the capital, Vientiane. The expert women weavers in the villages have begun the use of natural dyes- again with assistance from Jhai Foundation-and would like to weave textiles for export. They hope to find partners among expatriate Lao who will help them market their weavings and receive reasonable returns.
Villagers will also connect by voice and email with family members and others in the Lao diaspora who now live overseas. The Jhai Communications Centers will provide villagers with the opportunity to perform simple business functions, such as typing documents and creating spreadsheets, giving them access to tools to increase the viability of their family businesses and of the rural lifestyle that is at the heart of traditional Lao culture. from http://www.jhai.org/jhai_remote_launch_faq.htm

I wasted WAY too much time trying to explore the deeps of the Dungeons of Doom....
and Speaking of 'Doom'... Don't get into the habit of playing LAN games... Go outside and see the world... Take a bus/train somewhere and enjoy this time of your life... Its going to be good... be there for it.
