# Robots Eavesdrop On Cellular Discussions. Using robots to monitor the
goings-on of thousands of individual baker's yeast cells growing on a
small plastic grid, scientists have accomplished a biological milestone in
determining which molecules in a cell "talk" to others by making physical
contact. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/02/000210071438.htm
# World robot trade booming, UN reports. GENEVA (Reuters) -
World-wide orders for industrial robots surged by 20% last
year. http://news.excite.com/news/r/000207/11/trade-robots
: Do robots evesdrop on your personal/corporate/military/cellular communica-
tions? Does this worry you? Would you rather be spied on by robots, humans,
aliens, me? Have you been replaced by robots yet? Are they more efficient??

@ ANALYSIS OF STS-48 VIDEO. On 15 Sept 1991, live video of multiple objects
moving in unusual trajectories was filmed by cameras aboard Space Shuttle
Discovery (STS-48). NASA sez: ice crystals. Detailed computer analysis
shows a number of intelligently controlled craft & a weapon based on the
surface of Earth firing upon one of these craft. This & other video from
various NASA missions provide proof that non-man-made objects are in our
skies & space. Another piece in this huge jigsaw puzzle falls into place.
Our govt possesses many more pieces of this puzzle, maybe enough to solve
the mysteries & make the picture clear, but like a petulant child, it
keeps this info for itself. Why? CAUS!! http://www.psrw.com/~markc/sts48/
# Story Musgrave Heard 'Noble, Magnificent Music' In Space: not your typical
laconic US astronaut. www.smh.com.au:80/news/0002/08/text/national5.html
: Have you fired at any UFOs lately? Were you filmed? Which govts are hiding
the images? Are you in secret contact with ETs? Do they treat you well? How?

# Droughts Worse Than The 1930's Likely In 21st Century. Dramatic research
suggests that the world's supply of fresh water could plummet causing
drought-induced famine, political unrest & large-scale migration world-
wide. The research proves for the first time that extreme fluctuations in
the earth's water-resources during the last millennium occurred naturally
in Eastern Africa. Mounting scientific evidence now suggests that large
changes in climatic conditions have occurred across the globe over the
last millennium and could reoccur independent of human-induced global-
warming. Gulp. http://www.eurekalert.org/releases/quen-dwt020900.html
# Researchers Find Evidence Of 16th Century Epic Drought Over
North America: http://www.sightings.com/ufo6/drought.htm
: Are you ready for massive climate changes? Are the upcoming changes driven
by random factors, human heat-generation, alien intervention, deities/demons
or what? Do aliens/deities/spies manipulate weather on other planets too??

# Brain Activity Is Visibly Altered After Sleep Deprivation. The ability of
the brain to function following sleep deprivation varies with the task at
hand, and in some cases the brain attempts to compensate for the adverse
effects: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/02/000209215957.htm
# Turning Sound Into Touch To Aid The Blind. Blind people can be helped to
navigate with an invention based on echolocation of bats. The Spatial
Imager emits ultra sound in exactly the same way as bats do to maneuver
around obstacles in the dark. http://unisci.com/stories/20001/0210006.htm
: Does your brain work well at locating you in time/space? Does it adjust to
adverse conditions? Have you adapted to sleeplessness, blindness, infection,
conservatism, faith? Is your belief system a virus? Is it very infectious??

# FBI: Biggest cyberattack simple. WASHINGTON (AP) - This week's computer
attacks on Internet sites are the largest in memory but are not particu-
larly sophisticated and easily could have been launched by one 15-year-old
boy. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2564084173-ffb
: Were these DoS attacks promulgated by govt agencies looking for increased
budgets? Who has the most to gain from this cyberwar? Follow the money, eh?
# Update: Feds wage war against cyber-vandals, see
http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2564080936-086
# Also: Feds plan penalties for hackers, see
http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2564081396-d16
: Did you attack any sites lately? Have any sites attacked you? Is cyberwar
evolutionary? Do the stakes, penalties, techniques necessarily increase??
