A voice, purported to be that of the al-Qaeda leader, was heard commending recent attacks in Bali, Kuwait, Yemen and the takeover of a Moscow theatre by Chechen rebels.

Krötenschlecken und ähnliche Naturdrogen derzeit "in"

Hier einige Beispiele aus den Erfahrungen der Exekutive: Pilze werden zu psychedelischem Gulasch verarbeitet, Tollkirschen ins Müsli gemischt.

Hollywood Studios Unveil Web Movie Site
Five top Hollywood studios opened online box office Movielink on Monday in their first, tentative step to sell blockbuster films like "Ocean's Eleven" on the Web after years of fretting over the copyright piracy now threatening the music business. The movies are downloaded onto a computer hard drive, where they reside for 30 days, without being played, before being deleted. Movielink users must have high-speed Web connections, otherwise the time to download is prohibitive, Ramo said.

At $35,000, Big Truffle Is Nothing to Trifle With
L.A. restaurateur pays a record price for one very large specimen of the exotic white fungus. Joe Pytka, a 64-year-old director of television commercials, paid $35,000 Sunday for a mushroom.
Well, OK, it wasn't the kind of mushroom you'd buy in your local supermarket. It was an enormous, 2.2-pound white truffle, the rare and exotically perfumed tuber magnatum Pico hunted by specially trained dogs in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy and prized by gourmets throughout the world.

HOWTO Encourage Women in Linux
This article explains some of the difficulties and biases women face in the Linux community and examines various strategies for addressing those difficulties in order to encourage more participation by women. At the 2002 Ottawa Linux Symposium, I hosted a LinuxChix Birds Of a Feather session. During the BOF and throughout the conference, I heard the same set of questions: "My girlfriend hates Windows, how can I encourage her to use Linux?" "Almost no women attend my local LUG. How can I fix this?" "Why aren't there more women in open source?"
