Moller Air Passes A Test: This concept car has been around awhile. But it looks like it finally passed at least a minor flight test, while tethered to a crane. Folks at Boing Boing have their doubts. (ck comments section). The air compression car is a bigger deal because it just looks more realistic. Who wants to give Iraq their next airforce or terrorists a commuter vehicle? No way in this climate but the Moller Car sure looks cool. Just do that Mach 5 mod and you're ready to go...

Reviews of John Malloy's "Amnesia", Carla Speed McNeil's "Finder" and NBM Publishing's "Wake"
Essay Entitled "What the Unabomber Wants"

"When I think of this frightening piece by the Unabomber in Green Anarchy I'm reminded of the first appearance of Hannibal Lecter (played by Brian Cox in Manhunter), where his seemingly benign phone calls and newspaper ads would expand and unfold exponentially like a Hoberman Sphere of Darkness, Terror and Evil. One of his messages to the outside world gave a serial killer the home address of FBI investigator William Graham, played by actor William Peterson, now the lead for the television show CSI. That was, as the Unabomber might phrase it, "hitting them where it hurts". I fear that if one looks at the darkest possible meaning in Mr. Kaczynski’s newest prose efforts then one could conclude that his messages to the outside world are no less benign than the fictional Hannibal Lecter's...(More)"

Bechtel, who tried to privatize water in Bolivia--not unlike charging exorbitant fees for the air--got their butts deservedly kicked out of the country. So now they're trying to use world trade agreements to screw Bolivians anyhow. And of course the proceedings are in secret. Citizen groups are asking that the probable shame proceedings at least be open to the public, which right now they're not. By the way: this is related to the GE grain debate in Africa. If any of the grains seeds contaminate local African crops, your friendly neighborhood Monsanto will be happy to sue you (As they did in Mexico) under horrifically top down trade agreements...This is why they legitimately hate us...)

To spawn a new company, he fills out the paperwork and three of his tame companies each occupy a niche as company secretary, company treasurer, and company chair-thing. When it's time to sell the new company into bondage, the chair-being "resigns" and the other companies elect the purchaser to the chair and issue shares
