# Melissa takes down USMC e-mail. The fast-spreading e-mail virus "Melissa"
forced the Marine Corps to shut down its base-to-base e-mail communications.
The Marines are able to communicate internally within each base, but all
base-to-base e-mail connectivity has been shut down until network admini-
strators feel comfortable that they have taken the appropriate security
measures to protect against the virus. Tell it to the Marines by snailmail -

*** Serb hackers disrupt NATO e-mail. BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) NATO said that
Yugoslav computer hackers are inundating its Web site with viruses and fir-
ing off thousands of e-mails each day, overloading the site. "We have been
dealing with some hackers in Belgrade who have hacked into our Web site and
caused line saturation of the server." NATO officials said the disruption
was limited to the Web site and e-mail system and was not affecting military
computers. NATO began air assaults on Yugoslavia last Wednesday in response
to a deadly, widespread Serbian crackdown on ethnic Albanians in the south-
ern province of Kosovo. ###
# Few e-mails get through in new Net democracy. WASHINGTON. Online news org-
anizations have long encouraged readers to contact their elected representa-
tives by e-mail, typically using addresses provided by lawmakers. But many
if not most members of Congress are too swamped by e-mail to respond to or
even read messages. www.freedomforum.org/technology/1999/3/31email.asp
: Would you rather overload political, military, corporate or civilian email
system? Which email bombing has the most effect? If you were attempting to
control the world, which would you target? Can we bomb Reptilioid email?

@ CHRIST'S COSMIC WORMHOLE: Jesus' Lost Legacy and the Identity of the face
on the Shroud of Turin. I presented evidence that F.D.R. was seeking the
re-incarnated Jesus (or another Christ-like figure) in Mongolia in 1934. And
I pursued the Nazi quest to recover the Ark of the Covenant and other "power
tools" of the ancients. http://williamhenry.net/wormhole.htm
: What's your favorite "power tool of the ancients"?? Did they have rotary
saws, routers, lawn edgers? Did Jesus use a pneumatic stapler to do roofing?

# ELECTRIC BULLETS. Electromagnetic rail guns being developed for the U.S.
Army will replace cannon and tank guns, whose projectiles travel up to the
speed of sound. Electromagnetic rail guns will potentially reach speeds
closer to the speed of light, up to 6 km per second. Faster than a speeding
bullet - www.nextstep.com/stepback/cycle9/113/electromagneticguns.html
: Would you rather be hit by a chemical or magnetic projectile? Will EMRGs
await development of small, portable fusion reactors? Do you want one too?

*** India lovers stoned to death. NEW DELHI (AP) 15 villagers are charged
with stabbing and stoning to death a young couple who eloped and refused to
disavow their ties. The couple was killed and their bodies were dragged to a
cremation ground and set on fire outside the village of Shimla in the north-
ern Indian state of Haryana, about 120 miles west of New Delhi. See
http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2559008805-af7
: Does your belief systems promote slaughtering unauthorized lovers? Is your
faith's membership dwindling? Is there a connexion? What do your voices say?

# JAPAN JOINS SPACE STATION TEST. Gearing up for life aboard the Interna-
tional Space Station, the island nation signs on with Russia to conduct a
110-day simulated cohabitation living experience. Getting to know you -
see http://www.wired.com/news/news/email/tip/technology/story/18856.html
# IT MIGHT AS WELL BE WINTER. The Hubble Space Telescope beams back the 1st
pictures ever of springtime on Uranus. The weather is stormy and very, very
cold. http://www.wired.com/news/news/email/tip/technology/story/18854.html
: Would you rather spend several months in orbit around Earth with Russians
and Japanese, or a season on Uranus alone? Do you like cold storms? Why not?

*** DNA conducts electricity. (AP) Strands of DNA might someday be used as
wires in computer chips and transistors. Researchers found DNA conducts ele-
ctricity as well as a good semiconductor. A semiconductor carries electric-
ity better than an insulator but not as well as a conductor like copper. If
DNA strands could be made with a switch to turn the current flowing through
them on and off, they could be used to build extremely tiny electrical
devices. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2559010077-ab5
: Do you want to have your DNA set in microchips? Would you like to have
microchips implanted directly into your body? Do you already? Knowingly?

"'Damn the Saurian brandy! Warp speed astern!' yelled the chief engineer,
the flip of his kilt answering an age-old question as he leapt over the
body of his fallen captain." --Pauline M. Johnson
