- i wasn't going to bring it up again, but tom did. i still think manufacturing scarcity - for the public, at least - is bad. i'd rather put up with spam than pay to send email, and i think the introduction of a "trusted email network" would practically force all email networks to be "trusted". to the extent that "trusted" means "paid", this is bad. free is not the problem. |

- Hardware question: Okay, I know a few of you out there are smarter than I am in the hardware department. I'm driving a stepper motor with an array of TIP120 transistors, each of which has a diode back to the driver voltage to handle the back current from the motor. When the motor is manually rotated, this drives the voltage up high enough that the overvoltage protection in the power supply kicks in. I'm in the process of testing right now, but I apparently screwed somethin... |

- At some point in my life, someone used the phrase "fuck a duck", I made quacking noises, and shortly thereafter the discovery of a duck with a 16" penis turned it into a recurring gag. That might stop. Over on jwz's journal, there was a link to abstract Deinsea 8-2001 C.W. Moeliker, "The first case of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard Anas platyrhynchos (Aves: |

Box wine (Oct 15 2003 02:58 GMT) - An article over at Cool Tools (Formerly "Recommendo") touted the benefits of boxed wine. I used to keep boxed wine around for cooking, for many of the reasons listed in that article, and I recently heard some winery shill say something like "well, everyone knows that wine in glass bottles tastes better...". Whenever I hear someone say something like "everyone knows", my bullshit detector pegs. Kinda like the whole "tearing lettuce bruises it less" and "mushrooms absorb wat... |

To the right there's Leo putting a hand down for stability while climbing the gully, and the revamped crosswalk sign across from the _Mountain Home Inn_ (http://www.mnthomeinn. |

- When I returned to Chile for the first time in 32 years to attend a weeklong seminar called "30 Years -- Allende Lives ! Popular Alternatives and the Socialist Perspective in Latin America," I found myself entering the chilling atmosphere of the world's first laboratory for militarily imposed economic neo-liberalism. This model had been introduced after the September 11, 1973 U.S.-assisted military coup d'état against President Salvador Allende, a democratically elected parliamentary socialist. |

- Put the Shampoo Down and Come Out With Your Hands Up: Anaphylaxis Reaction Some People Are So Allergic to Some Things That It Can Take Their Breath Away (Literally) In a case that sounds like it came from the annals of Sherlock Holmes , a couple went to court when a woman charged that her estranged husband had tried to hurt her by taking advantage of her extreme allergies. When the woman touched a door handle that was coated with a shampoo to which she was very allergic she began to react and needed medication to prevent an extreme allergic reaction. You can read the story about the allergic reaction to shampoo People who are allergic can exhibit degrees of allergic reaction all the way from from mild itchiness to throat swelling, trouble breathing and blood pressure dropping.

- ABC News/Washington Post Poll: Bush Slipping If the 2004 presidential election were today, 46 percent of Americans say they would vote to re-elect Bush, while 47 percent would favor the Democratic candidate — the president's weakest showing to date in this so-called generic horse race. ed: doesn't exactly look like a bounce back, as USA Today/CNN claimed in their poll Also, more than eight in 10 continue to see the alleged White House leak of a CIA operative's identity as a "serious matter," and the number who think the administration is fully cooperating in the investigation has declined to 39 percent. About two-thirds still favor appointment of an outside special counsel to look into the matter. |
