# 'Planet' loses starring role - The object is too hot to be a planet. (BBC)
What was hailed as the first image of a planet outside our solar system is
probably nothing more than a normal star. Just another NASA blunder?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_381000/381876.stm
# Also: 'Planet' spotted in deep space:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_102000/102093.stm
@ Space Telescope Science Institute: http://www.stsci.edu/top.html
: What was NASA's purpose in releasing this disinformation? Are Reptilioids
anxious to disguise the true nature of this object? What does it all mean?

@ Reverse-Engineering Roswell UFO Technology. Computer company chief Jack
Shulman argues that the transistor could never have been invented so
suddenly at AT&T in late 1947 without the input of alien technology.
People are too dumb: http://www.peg.apc.org/~nexus/ACCandRoswell.html
: If American military/industrial complex technicians reverse-engineered ET
electronics, why did they have to let Sony build all the transistor radios?

# LINUX FOR THE MASSES. Ebiz Ent's zeroes in on the computer newbie with a
new computer priced at just US$200. And: Linux gets a boost from Objective
Reality Computer, developing a 3D interface for the increasingly popular
OS. http://www.wired.com/news/news/email/tip/technology/story/20479.html
: Is *nix alien technology? Are cheap supercomputers an alien plot to take
over humanity? Do only Reptilioids yacc? Do you suffer from *nix envy? Why?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
# Heart bypass coup. Tens of thousands of heart bypass patients could soon
be implanted with world-first artificial arteries. Australian scientists
have developed hi-tech silicon tubes, growing them inside sheep, then
customising them for each patient. Made-to-order living arteries in lab
bottles: see http://theaustralian.com.au:80/state/4298570.htm
: What other siliconized tissues would you like to grow inside sheep? Would
you prefer to grow tissues inside goats, turkeys, sharks, cats, aliens, me?

: Where would you most like to be abducted/implanted? If you were abducted
in New York City, would anyone notice? Do you plan your vacations around
possible close-encounter sites? Are Rachel and Sedona overrun by ETs? Why?

* BACK IN HACK. Newsgroup: alt.2600 - Moderated: No - Description:
Discussion about computer hacking and cracking. Sanctimonious hackers
snip at wannabes and seldom speak of actual cracks, hacks, tips, or
tricks. There's plenty of griping about Microsoft OS upgrades, and
under the "I hacked the CIA" thread you'll find bad Irish jokes and
empty threats. A few people actually answer posted questions, and when
they do, their answers are right on track. You just have to sift through
the dirt to find the gold. news:alt.2600
: Have you hacked any US gov't agencies lately? Would you rather hack feds,
write a virus to disable military communications, or launch ICBMs? Where?

# YOUR PRIVATE EMAIL ON PARADE? For at least 2 weeks, personal mail on the
MailStart & MailStart Plus Web email services were wide open to crackers.

# New virus spills your beans - spreads documents all over the Internet:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_381000/381054.stm
# JAPAN RISKS DIGITAL PEARL HARBOR. Japan's leadership is ossified when
it comes to understanding technology, leaving the country vulnerable
to cyberterrorism and other forms of electronic attack. Tora tora tora:
http://www.wired.com/news/news/email/tip/politics/story/20484.html
# ONLINE ANONYMITY CRITICAL. A NSF-funded study says the Internet will not
thrive unless Net users are allowed to hide their identities. Peekaboo:
http://www.wired.com/news/news/email/tip/politics/story/20480.html
: What corporate or national entities do you want to penetrate anonymously?
Should you or they have any secrets? Do ETs know everything already? Do you
generate spurious email to mislead your alien monitors? Are they confused?

==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
