Forensic biologists can trace those changes in bacterial DNA. If old stockpiles of Soviet-era anthrax were sold by rogue scientists to terrorists, genes could identify those as well. "

Register: RIAA secret meeting a hoax.
by Elyn Wollensky 10 Oct '01

looks like the RIAA thing was a hoax ... http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/31/22138.html The trouble with the Internet is that it's just too darn fast. Publish a story and it's all around the world before you've caught your breath. Or had a chance to change what you'd incautiously posted prematurely. Which is certainly the case with Monday's 'Music biz wants tougher DMCA, CPRM 2 to protect copyright' story. <snip>

Censorware Article In November Playboy
by Matthew Gaylor 10 Oct '01

10 Oct '01

The November 2001 print issue of Playboy Magazine <http://www.playboy.com> has an article by Chip Rowe "Access Denied: coming to a library near you: censorware. (Forum page 55). I just received my copy in the mail today. Rowe cites an example from Bennett Haselton <http://www.peacefire.org/>: Begin Playboy quote: "Haselton created four web pages with titles such as "The Homosexual Agenda Information Center." He posted the anti-gay snippets without attribution. He then reported the pages to various filtering companies. Four companies blocked every page; two others blocked at least two. Haselton shared the results with a reporter, who then phoned the companies to inform them of the ruse. Each refused to block the original sites. Today's lesson, kids: It's not the content of the message but the clout of the messenger that will determine what you see." End Playboy quote. Censorware refers to Internet filtering software that is federally mandated via The Children's Internet Protection Act. The Act requires public schools and libraries to install the Orwellian software or risk losing federal funds. In a recent show of moral courage the San Francisco City Library system refused to install the software and publicly stated that they'd forego the federal funds.
