Do you believe that the "War on Drugs" is ONLY against Marijuana, and other "illegal" drugs?
How about Vitamin C? Calcium supplements? Herbal teas? ORANGES?! How about every NATURAL PRODUCT available today which has a CONFIRMED HEALTH BENEFIT WITHOUT SIDE EFFECTS...but which isn't patentable by drug companies to rape it's "customers" & reap astronomical profits for government(s) and corporations?
Perhaps a better question...
Do you deserve to die because they're not taking enough of your money already?

It's time for Canadians to step up and start DEFENDING THEIR OWN LIVES!
Do you deserve to have ALL NATURAL PRODUCTS removed from your access, to the specific aims of pharmaceutical companies & unknown government mandates?
Removing ALL beneficial, natural, HEALTHY options to pharmaceutical drugs is only the beginning of this "Health" Bill! History shows us that once ANY law is enacted, it is abused forever, and in progressively more insidious ways.
THIS LAW IS DESIGNED TO MAKE GOVERNMENT, HEALTH SYSTEMS & PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES MONEY, AT THE EXPENSE OF YOUR HEALTH AND FREEDOM!
Stand up and be counted NOW, before it's too late!

BBC Climate Prediction Project
Anyone who's followed the SETI@Home project the last few years has no need to read the rest of this post. Just hit this link to sign up to the latest effort underway:
The BBC Climate Prediction Project!
The BBC has decided to get people together to contribute their spare CPU cycles in the quest to produce a rather ambitious look at the future of this planet--a full simulation of climate change from 1920 to 2080--based on all the data we've got available to us today...and what may well happen in the future if we don't start pahying attention SOON!
Now why exactly would anyone need YOUR computer to help, when they've already got access to hundreds of "supercomputers" around the world? Simple...there are hundreds of supercomputers around the world...but there are BILLIONS of personal computers out there!
Those hundreds of "available" supercomputers are engaged in massive number-crunching for governments (trying to find new ways to hide what they're taking out of your pocket), military institutions (trying to find ways to kill more people more economically...and hiding how they're taking it out of your pocket), university scientific experiments (and MP3 and porn downloads, of course), pharmaceutical companies developing new drugs (to poison the public and create new diseases in new and ever-more-insidious ways...and to get ther governments to help them get the money out of your pocket without you realizing it), and whatever else they can be (and are) used for.
Plainly put, "der Übermachinen" are taxed almost to their full processing capacity at all times, must be scheduled long in advance in order to get "their custom software" into the processing rotation, and those machines run up some rather healthy bills for those who use them...well...unless they're governments or military, in which case "money is no object" since it's not their money they're spending, but yours.
Now look at YOUR computer...and the MILLIONS of other computers out there. 99% of people do NOT take full advantage of the computing power they have available to them...well...OK, gamers tax their systems to their absolute limits whenever they're playing just about any modern game, but that's another story...and mainly taxing the video processors, rather than the CPU itself...which still leaves "some" fre CPU cycles available. The plain fact is that the vast majority of usable computers sit idle at least 90% of the time. Yes...even those owned by someone named "Melvin" who lives in a room without windows, thinks pocket protectors are "the ultimate fashion accessory", and still plays Dungeons & Dragons on a regular basis...sometimes even in the presence of "real" people! (GASP!)
All that having been said, a supercomputer capable of performing a few trillion operations per second is a very nice idea...but as noted, is prohibitively expensive to run, and almost impossible to get the required time to process these immense calculations that are needed to do such a humongous modelling project.
As few as ten thousand personal computers on the other hand, each with the ability to process "only" a few billion operations--when not doing other things--adds up to the same equivalent processing power of one of those supercomputers...and potentially even more when the work is distributed amongst those thousands of "underutilized" personal computers.
Yeah, I know, it sounds crazy...but it works! SETI@Home and the LHC@Home projects have proven that mass-processing power is not only capable, but in many ways, much more appropriate as a method to accomplish such major undertakings. The people who benefit from the research actually take part in the process, rather than hearing about "some abstract concept" that they really have no information on. When your own machine is involved in the effort, you tend to take a bit more interest into WHY these massive processing operations NEED to be undertaken, as well.
For those who need a little more information about what SETI@Home is all about, please hit this link:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu
For those who have NO IDEA about what the (*#@ all this "BOINC stuff" is about, you'll want to go HERE for more information about the BOINC project as a whole, and CLICK HERE to download the latest BOINC client. (Note: LHC@Home is currently reccommending the 4.45 client, rather than the latest available client...please try to keep this in mind if you're planning on running multiple projects...now that you know they exist!)
Broad Generalizations:
The SETI@Home project is dedicated to searching the cosmos for signs of intelligent life. Gawd knows they haven't found a whole hell of a lot in this neck of the woods...
The LHC@Home project is currently engaged in designing, modelling and testing the largest superconducting supercollider ever built, to be used for the next 20 or 30-odd years of particle physics research. Maybe Feynman, Greene, Hawking (and many other notables) might get some confirmations--or corrections--on their previous mathematical and theoretical predictions?
Personally, I'm running the SETI@Home and LHC@Home, and now the BBC Climate Prediction projects myself...as I realize that when my computers are just sitting idly by, they CAN be making use of the power they consume for much better things than notifying me of the last SPAM that's filtered through the net into my inbox. Obviously a much better use of my computer time...especially when I'm already asleep. ;)
Why not have YOUR computers do something worthwhile when you're not actively using them too?!? Join one of the projects noted above today, or take a look at all of the projects currently available at http://boinc.berkeley.edu for something that might fit your ideals and interests a little better.

Gil Hibben's GOLD Warbirds for sale!
Gil Hibben's "Warbirds" for sale!
The following pair of INCREDIBLE knives is up for sale:
Gil Hibben's Gold Warbirds, matched set of both Bowie and Dagger, manufactured in 1994 as a limited-issue series of 1000 collector's sets.
This set is #69 of 1000 manufactured, and is in high demand, especially for those pairs numbered under 250...and this set is within the first 100 made!
You can't see it well in the pic, (click the pic for a better view!) but each blade is engraved with 0069/1000, as is the medallion on the genuine wood display plaque, which, has been hand-signed by Gil Hibben (the designer) himself!
These are NOT cheap, by any means, and are for the discerning collector who knows what he's getting! If you're looking for ultra-high-quality collector's pieces, THESE ARE DEFINITELY THE ONES!
Please keep in mind that these knives are GOLD! It's not an anodized aluminum coating, or even a golden-looking titanium-nitride finish, but REAL GOLD!
These knives will never be manufactured again! This may be your last chance to own a pair of these incredible collectible knives yourself!
SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY NEED APPLY.
Please feel free to shoot by my web site for more information, or just to kill some time. ;)

Web Site updates
Just updated some pages on my web site!
Added some links to cycle shops in the area...
Robinson Harley-Davidson in Wheatley (WELL worth the ride to get there!) and Bob's Motorsports in Chatham.
Sonic Cycle Salvage, which is a well-reknowned bike boneyard, for those who've cracked up their bikes, or just need a part and don't want to pay retail for it.
My personal site is located at http://BigScaryBiker.Owns.it for those who want to check it out!
Make sure you hit AshaFX, too! She's a rather talented graphic artist, and you're sure to find something interesting while you're there!

The Gizmo Project
Michael Robertson, best known for his work on MP3.COM, Linspire (nee: Lindows, prior to Bill Gates' deciding that he was going to crush another company) and SIP Phone, has recently gotten into Skype's face with the Gizmo Project.
The Gizmo Project is aimed directly at Skype on a feature-by-feature basis, but using standards-based design, rather than a proprietary locked-in system that ONLY Skype has a potential to benefit from. VOIP "should" be open to everyone, and Gizmo is designed towards that end. To be honest, that's the main feature that will push it over the top in the end, I'm sure.
It's beta at the moment, but well worth looking into. You'll be AMAZED at the call quality--even over a 56k dialup connection!
Now, you'll need a mic and speakers to be able to use it, but most folks have those on hand already. For those that don't, they've already tested some out, and offer links to recommended products at http://www.gizmoproject.com/accessories.html
First things first, of course...You've got to get a copy!
Check out their web site for more information at: http://www.gizmoproject.com/
Aside: Since "Gizmo" is merely a working title, they're accepting suggestions for a new name for the system once it's out of beta. I've submitted "IMaculate" myself and it's been accepted, but the final word isn't out on whose suggestion will eventually be made permanent. Feel free to think up and submit a new name yourself!
