Here is an online questionnaire that asks about “nonordinary experiences
of time”.
From the EFFector List –
The PIRATE Act (S.2237) is yet another attempt to make taxpayers fund
the misguided war on file sharing, and it’s moving fast. The bill
would allow the government to file civil copyright lawsuits in
addition to criminal prosecutions, dramatically lowering the burden
of proof and adding to the thousands of suits already filed by
record companies. It would also force the American public to pay
the legal bills of foreign record companies like Bertelsmann,
Vivendi Universal, EMI, and Sony. Meanwhile, not a penny from
the lawsuits goes to the artists.
Don’t let the record industry use your hard-earned dollars to pursue
this fruitless war; tell Congress to sink the PIRATE Act!

Raindrops and proteins seem to have a lot in common. This has been shown in a new study by scientists at Ume? University in Sweden. The principle behind the formation of raindrops is very similar to how proteins fold. This knowledge is vital to our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases like ALS.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – A former deputy U.S. marshal and Marine Corps veteran who claims the CIA slipped LSD into his drink in 1957 as part of a mind-control project offered enough evidence to send his $12 million lawsuit to trial, a federal judge ruled Monday.
If you recall this sentence a few seconds from now, you can thank a simple network of neurons for the experience. That is the conclusions of researchers who have built a computer model that can reproduce an important aspect of short-term memory.
BOISE, Idaho (AP)—A bespectacled computer whiz sits at the center of what civil libertarians are calling a confrontation between the First Amendment and the war on
As more evidence comes out daily of the ties between the leaders of petroleum producing countries and terrorists (not to mention the human rights abuses in their own countries), the incentive for finding an alternative to petroleum rises higher and higher. The environmental problems of petroleum have finally been surpassed by the strategic weakness of being dependent on a fuel that can only be purchased from tyrants.
File swappers concerned about getting in trouble with record labels over illegal downloads may soon have a major new worry: the U.S. Department of Justice.
(CNN)—Several U.S. officials said Tuesday that intelligence indicates there is increasing concern about the possibility of a major terrorist attack on U.S. soil, perhaps as early as this summer.
This is some terrible news. Looks as though this little shitty tour will be the last Phish tour ever. Makes me pretty sad. Might have to save up $150 and make my way out to Vermont this August and catch their last show. Anyways, here’s what was posted on Phish.Com:
Last Friday night, I got together with Mike, Page and Fish to talk openly about the strong feelings I’ve been having that Phish has run its course and that we should end it now while it’s still on a high note. Once we started talking, it quickly became apparent that the other guys’ feelings, while not all the same as mine, were similar in many ways—most importantly, that we all love and respect Phish and the Phish audience far too much to stand by and allow it to drag on beyond the point of vibrancy and health. We don’t want to become caricatures of ourselves, or worse yet, a nostalgia act. By the end of the meeting, we realized that after almost twenty-one years together we were faced with the opportunity to graciously step away in unison, as a group, united in our friendship and our feelings of gratitude.
If you’ve ever wondered how big the universe is, you’re not alone. Astronomers have long pondered this, too, and they’ve had a hard time figuring it out. Now an estimate has been made, and it?s a whopper.
WASHINGTON (AP)—Police can search a parked car for drugs, guns or other evidence of a crime while arresting a driver or passengers nearby, the Supreme Court ruled Monday.
Here’s the second part of Chapter 10.
Here’s Chapter 10 from TIHKAL. A goon on SA had typed it up, thought I would mirror it here. Thanks to muffetpuckers for putting this together. Read on for part one of two…
