aminorex: Interesting questions abound: Where they really counterfeit? What are the known associations of the handlers of the shipment? Connections to intelligence agencies, banking officials...?

dav_: Testers needed for orgasm machine
MutinyWork: Meloy, of Piedmont Anesthesia and Pain Consultants in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is hoping to find eight more volunteers willing to have electrodes inserted in their spine and be connected to a pacemaker-size machine implanted under the skin to heighten their sexual pleasure.
MutinyWork: No wonder they don't have many takers.

simmo:
simmo: "maximum of 1 Mbps"
simmo: "costs around the same price as ADSL"
simmo: "IntelliCell technology which was developed by ArrayComm Inc. based in San Jose California USA."
simmo: "'pointing' a signal to the intended user"
simmo: phase array, i guess
seti: For comparison, ADSL2+ offerings with 24 Mbps downstream / 1 Mbps upstream are starting to appear in the Netherlands, at EUR 44.95/month (will be increased after the first year).
seti: so effectively 10 Mbps, more likely
simmo: seti means the ADSL2+

simmo: "nearly twenty per cent of children were exposed to pornography or had communicated with a stranger online"
simmo: that's a pretty big 'or' .. most strangers, believe it or not, aren't child molesters
simmo: even online
simmo: "nearly forty per cent of parents said that their children have had a negative experience when using the Internet at home"
simmo: if childhood is anything like the way I remember it, 40% is remarkably low
simmo: full report
simmo: this story breaks up the one-in-five .. one-in-six had accessed porn :\
simmo: only 3% had talked to a stranger ...
simmo: anyone have comparative figures for accessing of hardcopy porn? I seem to remember it was more than 1/6th of the kids I knew who'd seen their dad's dirty mags
simmo: I heard in some countries kids even sleep in the same room as thier parents ... who also have sex
simmo: QUICK! FIREWALL THE COUNTRY!
