All you need is an ALPS dye-sub printer. Quality is photo. The 1300/2300 models can be had for about $100-150 on eBay. The paper tray folds down to allow a straight path past the print heads. ID card, laminate stock and CDs are easily accomodated. You can even produce watermark overlays (great for state seals) by peeling the barcode cassette ID from a consumed black cartridge and pasting it over the "color" (e.g., metallic silver, gold or transparent) cartridge you want for a water mark. The printer scans the cartridges when you close the cover and will think the color overlay cartridge is black.

Your china in OZ writes,(china plate=mate=bud,pal) Not content with selling huge amounts of american flags (made in chinese gulags)China recently tested dong feng missiles capable of dropping nuclear payload on US assets .They reversed engineered cruise missiles too so dont worry if one goes up your street and turns left.They have got a 'knock off'spy plane with pilot wangs brother watching.The balloons full of biowar agents and fresh avian flu strains will be floating over soon also.Watch the skies! ITs not gone unnoticed that tidal patterns also favour WMDs launched your way.The chinese govt's realised you wanted a wag the dog war with it all along and will ,sooner or later so 'first in best dressed' or 'operation king hit' is the order of the day.(You didnt hear this from me)Luv,mattd.

You are all missing the point. Google was being praised for its specific feature of acting as an internet-wide cache of old versions of web pages. Prior to 9/11 the page in question held inflammatory content praising bin Laden. Now it's been pulled. The google cache lets us see the previous version, thwarting the efforts of the page owner to hide his earlier sentiments. Google thus serves as an honesty mechanism, holding people responsible for what they have said and making it more difficult for them to conceal revisions to their published opinions. All this old-fogey talk about "I remember the days before Google" is nothing but hot air. Sure, things were harder before search engines; of course they were, but it's a trivial observation. The point is that this often-unappreciated cacheing feature of search engines can have a powerful influence on the nature of the Web. It's unfortunate that we have to rely on Google. Imagine an ongoing, distributed project to cache the web. Volunteers could keep tabs on a subset of corporate and personal web pages and cache old versions when changes are made. Rewriting history becomes that much harder. And it's certainly a better use of computers than seti@home.

Intelligent source?
by Donald J. Coones 21 Oct '01

21 Oct '01

Please point to a strictly natural process that creates infoormation. What evidence is there that infoormation, such as that in DNA, could ever assemble itself? What about the 4,000 books of coded infoormation that are in a tiny part of each of your 100 trillion cells? If astronomers received an intelligent signal from some distant galaxy, most people would conclude that it came from an intelligent source. Why then doesn't the vast infoormation sequence in the DNA molecule of just a bacteria also imply an intelligent source? >
