The truth at any cost lowers all other costs — curated by former US spy Robert David Steele.
Here is a lovely story of a creative low tech and inexpensive solution to certain kinds of drought. It wouldn't work everywhere, but it will many places. It replicates a technology used by Egyptians 5,000 years ago.

UPDATE 5: Note from Winn with Link to Pilot Brief on Avionics Insecurity
EXTRACT
I am saying something very simple: I don't know, and I don't know anyone else who really does know, for absolutely sure, how secure the various networks and systems on airplanes are. I do know that when an IT person says they are secure because they use a firewall, I am skeptical. I am not a fan of security by obscurity, often favoring open source reporting by an independent security review on a periodic basis.

Image Search: Getting Better and Better [Not Really]
Image search means having software which can figure out from a digital photo that a cow is a cow. In more complex photos, the software identifies what it can. I recall one demonstration which recognized me as a 20 year old criminal. Close but no cigar.

As I have said over and over “Water is Destiny.” Very few people have paid any attention to their water company. It's regular bill, one of those things that just is, as a part of modern life. That is about to change, as the privatization movement gains momentum. In this report you can see the emerging corporate view of the Water Privatization Trend. To me this is very scary stuff. The essential substance of life owned by a few people. Think about that.
