Thanks Mike

I've just been reading the reams of paper I've downloaded and printed - very

News about Monsanto's sterile seeds policy

1999-10-08 Thread hondinia

For all those following the GMO debate:
http://www.wired.com/news/news/technology/story/22131.html

"Monsanto would never have abandoned the profit-generating potential of
sterile seeds just because it was an immoral technology," said RAFI's
research director, Hope Shand. "The company finally realized that Terminator
will never win public acceptance. Terminator has became synonymous with
corporate greed, and it was met with intense opposition all over the world."

Then again, a laptop is /always/ an expensive compromise. Mainly I'd 
like to avoid the hassles I've had with my Latitude - the screen 
connector cable is approx .25 inch too long for the mounting and the 
small fold that is necessitated seems to go once every 6 months. The 
solution seems to be to replace the whole screen assembly. This is not

Martin:

Recently I've used the following...

1. Dell Latitude CPi 366
Very tidy machine, good looking, but v. v. pricey.

2. HP OmniBook 4150
Similar in look, performance and price to the Latitude.

3. Dell Inspiron 7000
All the bells and whistles, but big and ugly.

4. Toshiba Libretto 110
Underpowered, but so small it fits in a pocket. Sexy, but a typist's
nightmare.

I guess the thing about laptops is, it really depends on what you want to do
with them.  The Inspiron 7000 is a good desktop replacement, but no good for
lugging around.  The Libretto wouldn't be much good for even moderate use,
while the two pricey ones are expensive compromises.

Notebook users (especially Dellies)

What's the best notebook - did the Dell Inspirons turn out
to be 
really reliable compared to the old Latitude notebooks?

Any comments appreciated (I may have to buy one shortly)

I can highly recommend the new Toshiba Portege's, or its larger sibling the
Tecra.

That's a pretty good photo story.

I tried to adopt my MP - she never responded though - I got some vague 
email from her assistant saying that my concerns were important...

Thanks to Karen (hondinia) for this link. The full text of
the page
follows, for reasons that will become apparent if you read
it.

http://www.attrition.org/attrition/keywords.html

I started collecting 'spook words' this after reading about
a rumor that
the
major intelligence agencies would scan all messages floating
around on
the
Internet looking for something interesting, This is why some
paranoid
folks
say the Internet is so slow, The NSA says that they don't,
but that's
what
the NSA would say. Another rumor to the story is that the
NSA and all
those
other three lettered agencies just don't have the bandwidth
to look at
all
those messages, and that its all those people farting around
watching
Bugs
Bunny on Real Audio from work sucking down all that
bandwidth.

There may be some truth to the rumors, digital wiretaps have
been done
on
the Internet looking for particular words used by criminal
hackers and
only
a few messages that weren't related to the case were
captured and
dissseminated.

The idea here is that if lots of people add suspicious words
to their
messages, the world's intel agencies will be too busy with
spurious
input
that they will have to give up reading it all.

Anyone who has read the source code of my homepage or
Prayers Pay will
see
the list below with some additions here and there, You might
want to
sprinkle some of these words into your X-headers for a
little fun. Most
to
nearly all of these words have been collected using open
sources,
(books,
online, seminars, conventions, broadcasts, movies,
etc...)But I am
always
looking for more. Mail me if you have any.
