Making sophisticated decoys (down to the radar signature) must be kind of expensive in terms of material and production... is it really that much more economical than the real thing?
Mexico may have been turned into a lethal hellhole by the drug cartels, but you have to credit their government with more integrity than most of the developed world, as far as that treaty is concerned. I hope the EU makes good on its promise and follows suit.

Eh, January 11 of course - or maybe November 1, depending on preference.
Shouldn't we wait and celebrate on January 1, '00? That would be 11/01/00, or 42 in base thirteen! :P
(Too bad we just missed it this century.)
Is there a version of cat that doesn't read /dev/stdin by default?

Standards are not like software.
More than 150 years in coming. Beat that, 3D Reams.
Why not use Hotmail while you're at it.
John Young is alleged to be paranoid as hell; no idea how something like this can happen.
