Every dancer examined in Canada's National Ballet has arthritis from dancing on pointe. Ouch. Suffering for art: http://nationalpost.com/artslife.asp?f=991202/141388 # HERE WE GO AGAIN: Two US senators claim violence on television is actually up 30% since Congress raised concerns in 1997.“This is an industry that’s stiffing us” - http://www.variety.com/article.asp?articleID=1117758513 : Would you rather suffer for your art, or make someone else suffer? Is pain required for art, humor, politics, faith? Do you believe in inflicting pain? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ # Assembling Molecules an Atom at a Time. Researchers used a specially designed scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to pick up single molecules of carbon monoxide and graft them onto an iron atom to form molecules of iron carbonyl. Customization: http://jimfl.yi.org:88/links/99872/goURL : Did you know that a STM can be built REAL cheap? See Ed Regis' book NANO for an account of a kid who made one, with RadioShack parts. Do you want to manipulate matter at the atomic level? What molecules d'ya wanna assemble? # Or is Time Merely an Illusion? Speculation on the nature of time has long been the domain of philosophers: Physicists dared not approach. Physicist Julian Barber suggests that time is an artifact of the arrangement of matter. Rearrange space/time: http://jimfl.yi.org:88/links/99875/goURL _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ # NEW VERSION OF EXPLOREZIP DEFIES ANTI-VIRUS SYSTEMS. ExploreZip, the worm that devastated systems in June, is now back in a compressed version that slips through anti-virus security systems. The worm infected several major firms on Tuesday. Dubbed MiniZip by some security vendors - a reference to how the worm has been compressed - the latest outbreak uses exactly the same technology as ExploreZip, except that it has been compressed in a format that masks it from security systems which scan incoming messages for attacks. http://cnn.com/1999/TECH/computing/12/01/explorezip.again.idg : Does the cybervirus world abide by Murphy's Law Of Cybernetic Etymology - "There's always another bug"?? What's your favorite virus payload? Do you like to scramble target systems with chaotic randomization? How d'ya sneak your payloads past the gatekeepers? Will ever-changing compression systems render a computer virus impervious to detection? Is computation doomed??? # Recodable Locking Device [RLD]. The RLD, which uses microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technology so small that it takes a microscope to see it, is a series of tiny notched gears that move to the unlocked position only when the right code is entered. It's the first known mechanical hardware designed to keep unwanted guests from breaking codes & illegally entering computer & other secure systems. http://jimfl.yi.org:88/links/99881/goURL _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ # Paralyzed by a Beam from a UFO. I noticed a deep black globe about 3 feet in diameter, hovering in place about 80' away & 18" or so off the ground. The sphere was a pure black, almost as if it were a hole in space; yet I could tell it was fully 3-D and very real. The sphere started drifting smoothly towards my right at about half a mile an hour. A low humming noise became evident at this point. The object then emitted an intense, fan-shaped orange beam of some kind, directed towards my right & sweeping slowly from right to left. As the beam swept past, objects in its path (tires, pop cans, etc.) glowed a kind of phosphorescent orange color; while the general background was darker. The beam hit me, paralyzing me where I stood. That's the last I remember: http://caus.org/mu120299.htm : Have you been paralyzed by aliens lately? Have you paralyzed any humans or aliens lately? Which are easier to deal with? What technology do you use??? # Space Vehicles Arrive -- But Whose? http://www.caus.org/pn120299.htm @ Alien Abductions.-- The most startling aspect of the UFO Phenomena.
