Re: Banned Research and Raids on "Secret Labs"

>this, but at least the point is arguable. The issue of whether human >cloning research is so intrinsically sensitive or dangerous that it >requires preemptive raids and fishing expeditions is a topic worth >discussing. For now, I'm pointing out some of the disturbing >constitutional issues. Cloning taboo, as all other taboos exist because of the influence they may have on the powers that be. Individual identity is a basis for so-called "legal system" and law enforcement in general. While corporations and governments (as in "powers that be") are allowed group/communal identities, mere citizen-units are not. I think that there is a generic fear that powerful individuals (cloning is off-limits to wage slaves) would somehow become more powerful if they can copy themselves. Also, lot of the System is based on the strict reproduction control, individuals coming out in unapproved manner would mess that up. Can you imagine Tim May *brought up* by Tim May ? Horrible. But I don't think that it can be stopped. There is a strong incentive for corporations to breed obedient workers and for the state to breed servile citizens. That is much more economical and less risky than having to brainwash each and every new generation. Soon you'll see middle-aged bald and impotent managers asking the meekest and lowest paid 10-hr/day workers if they will donate some stem cells for a day off. Same thing will happen in the voting booths. Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo! Mail http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/

I am organizing the march in Miami ...
by Markku Saarelainen 02 Jul '01

02 Jul '01

I am in the process of organizing THE MARCH in Miami during which we all sing the Internationale. I do it quite publicly here in Miami. A little similar to those marches on the 1st of May in many nations. This is the new Communist movement in Miami and I am leading it for success. http://www.funet.fi/pub/culture/russian/voices/realaudio/international.ra The proud owner of the Soviet flag ....

My bets are the Sandia folks will be there first, with their (whether SOS or plain silicon) MEMS microturbine generator. I think they mentioned they hoped to scale power density beyond 30 W in a cm^3 volume. Otoh, such technology is prime candidate for powering military hardware in the field, so maybe perhaps that's why they suddenly went mum on it. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://www.lrz.de/~ui22204/">leitl</a> ______________________________________________________________ ICBMTO : N48 10'07'' E011 33'53'' http://www.lrz.de/~ui22204 57F9CFD3: ED90 0433 EB74 E4A9 537F CFF5 86E7 629B 57F9 CFD3

Great, an micro Wankel engine. Did anyone else share my first thought, that this would be just right as the power source for a laptop version of Babbage's Analytical Engine? (My second thought was that an itty-bitty steam engine would be more appropriate). I wonder what the limiting factor would be? I suspect that the cube/squared law is involved - as the parts get smaller they cool down too quickly to operate as an engine.

Automated DB searches and the 1st
by Jim Choate 02 Jul '01

02 Jul '01

Amendment IV The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. I contend that to run an automated search on a face taken by a surveillance camera requires probable cause on each of the faces searched. That there might be a criminal in a crowd is not sufficient probable cause to run searches on all persons in the crowd. It violates their 'personal security'. -- ____________________________________________________________________ Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.
