AirSnort is a wireless LAN (WLAN) tool which recovers encryption keys. AirSnort operates by passively monitoring transmissions, computing the encryption key when enough packets have been gathered...802.11b, using the Wired Equivalent Protocol (WEP), is crippled with numerous security flaws...AirSnort requires approximately 5-10 million encrypted packets to be gathered. Once enough packets have been gathered, AirSnort can guess the encryption key used.

Clark has talked a lot about long-term care insurance, and when you
should or shouldnt buy it. Long- term care insurance pays for care in
your home or in a nursing home in the event that you are not able to
take care of yourself anymore. And a lot of people think social
security will pay for long-term care, which is not true. Clark often
gets calls from people in their 30s and 40s, asking if they should buy
LTC insurance at their age. And he has said that the right age to buy
is in your late 50s and early 60s. But Consumer Reports has taken it a
step further. The magazine is now telling people to buy LTC insurance
at age 65. The magazine disagrees with the insurance salespeople who
say you must buy young to qualify. They claim that the older you get
the less likely you are to qualify for it. But Consumer Reports found
that 84 percent of people will still be able to buy LTC insurance at
age 65. And remember that if you have $1.5 million plus in assets or
you are impoverished, you dont need long term care insurance. But
everyone in the middle class will need LTC insurance. For help on
usually cost you $300 to $400 a month, so you want to make sure you
sign up at the right time with the right company.
From Clarkhoward.com:
Over the years, Clark has heard tons of horror stories about fake Visa
and Master Cards. With these cards, the biggest problem usually
involves things of a clerical nature. With a credit card, if a
clerical error is made its corrected before your statement goes out
and there is nothing really to worry about. But with a debit card,
once someone makes a mistake, it takes a lot of work to get it
resolved. First of all, its unlikely that youll get any of the money
back once its been removed from your account. And under Visa and
MasterCard guidelines, the bank has no duty to pay you for any of the
insufficient funds charges you may incur. The shocking part is that
even though Clark talks about this repeatedly, one of the staffers
Kevin recently used his debit card to pay for a cruise. That in itself
was risky. But when he tried to use his credit card for other charges
on the cruise, the ship charged them to his debit card anyway. So, it
racked up about $600 in charges on his checking account that he didnt
have. Luckily, the people at the bank know Kevin and they are going to
waive all of the NSF charges. Kevin has learned his lesson and will
never give anyone his check card when services are supposed to be
rendered later.
From clarkhoward.com:
Clark recently published a poll on his site about identity theft. One
of the questions he asked was, How common do you think identity theft
is? About 75 percent of Clarks respondents said ID theft is either
extremely common or fairly common. Clark also asked how likely you
think it is that ID theft could happen to you. Almost half of you
think you definitely could be a victim, and another 40 percent think
you probably could be a victim. These numbers are much higher than the
typical public response, so Clark feels good that hes done a good job
of scaring you about ID theft. We need to be concerned. Only about 10
percent are not concerned at all. So, what should you do to avoid
being a victim? The first thing is to buy a paper shredder. Identity
thieves have no qualms about going through your trash and filling out
pre-approvals for credit cards in your name. Another thing you can do
is to call 1-888-5-OPT-OUT, which tells the Direct Marketing
Association that you dont want pre-approvals from credit cards in your
mailbox. Youll stop about 93 percent of credit card offers with this
option. And if you carry a checkbook, dont. If someone steals your
checks and writes checks as if they are you, you could wind up in
jail. It doesnt matter if you will be cleared later, you will suffer
massively if a thief gets a hold of your checkbook. So, keep your
checkbook at home, and pay cash or credit instead. Even though Clark
doesnt like fake Visa or Master Cards, they are much better than
checks.

/usr/local/bin/mysqldump --complete-insert --add-drop-table --lock-tables --user=USERNAME --password=PASSWORD DATABASE_NAME > FILENAME.sql
Replace USERNAME, PASSWORD, DATABASE_NAME, and FILENAME with the system specific values.
from http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/mysqldump.html:
shell> mysqldump [OPTIONS] database [tables]
OR mysqldump [OPTIONS] --databases [OPTIONS] DB1 [DB2 DB3...]
OR mysqldump [OPTIONS] --all-databases [OPTIONS]
... and ...
The most normal use of mysqldump is probably for making a backup of whole databases. See section 5.5.1 Database Backups.
mysqldump --opt database > backup-file.sql
You can read this back into MySQL with:
mysql database < backup-file.sql
or:
mysql -e "source /path-to-backup/backup-file.sql" database
However, it's also very useful to populate another MySQL server with information from a database:
mysqldump --opt database | mysql --host=remote-host -C database
It is possible to dump several databases with one command:
mysqldump --databases database1 [database2 ...] > my_databases.sql
If all the databases are wanted, one can use:
mysqldump --all-databases > all_databases.sql

Effects of an Ad Libitum Low-Fat, High-Carbohydrate Diet on Body Weight, Body Composition, and Fat Distribution in Older Men and Women
A Randomized Controlled Trial
Nicholas P. Hays, PhD; Raymond D. Starling, PhD; Xiaolan Liu, MD; Dennis H. Sullivan, MD; Todd A. Trappe, PhD; James D. Fluckey, PhD; William J. Evans, PhD
Arch Intern Med. 2004;164:210-217.
Background The efficacy of ad libitum low-fat diets in reducing body weight and fat in overweight and obese adults remains controversial.
Methods We examined the effect of a 12-week low-fat, high–complex carbohydrate diet alone (HI-CHO) and in combination with aerobic exercise training (HI-CHO + EX) on body weight and composition in 34 individuals with impaired glucose tolerance (20 women and 14 men; mean ± SEM age, 66 ± 1 years). Participants were randomly assigned to a control diet (41% fat, 14% protein, 45% carbohydrates, and 7 g of fiber per 1000 kcal), a HI-CHO diet (18% fat, 19% protein, 63% carbohydrates, and 26 g of fiber per 1000 kcal), or a HI-CHO diet plus endurance exercise 4 d/wk, 45 min/d, at 80% peak oxygen consumption (HI-CHO + EX). Participants were provided 150% of estimated energy needs and were instructed to consume food ad libitum. Total food intake, body composition, resting metabolic rate, and substrate oxidation were measured.
Results There was no significant difference in total food intake among the 3 groups and no change in energy intake over time. The HI-CHO + EX and HI-CHO groups lost more body weight (–4.8 ± 0.9 kg [P = .003] and –3.2 ± 1.2 kg [P = .02]) and a higher percentage of body fat (–3.5% ± 0.7% [P = .01] and –2.2% ± 1.2% [P = .049]) than controls (–0.1 ± 0.6 kg and 0.2% ± 0.6%). In addition, thigh fat area decreased in the HI-CHO (P = .003) and HI-CHO + EX (P<.001) groups compared with controls. High carbohydrate intake and weight loss did not result in a decreased resting metabolic rate or reduced fat oxidation.
Conclusion A high-carbohydrate diet consumed ad libitum, with no attempt at energy restriction or change in energy intake, results in losses of body weight and body fat in older men and women.
From the 5/13/01 NY Times Magazine. By Michael Pollan
Farms produce more than food; they also produce a kind of landscape, and if I buy my organic milk from halfway across the country, the farms I like to drive by every day will eventually grow nothing but raised ranch houses.
An interesting post on pomomusings.
Two interesting headlines from Simon Sarmiento. One is that there are not more Muslims actively attending services than there are Anglicans. That is astounding! There are at least ten times as many baptized Anglicans as there are Muslims in the UK.
The other is that former Archbishop Carey stated at the WEF in Davos that the "servants of God should be employed to keep watch on those of Mammon." I am not sure what I think about this. I will have to ruminate. The churched sure have made a mess of politics. Is it business' turn? ;-)
I just heard about one of the entrants at this years Sundance festival. It is called "Super Size Me." It is by Moragn Spurlock. Here is the description from his web site supersizeme.com
Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock hit the road and interviewed experts in 20 U.S. cities, including Houston, the "Fattest City" in America. From Surgeon Generals to gym teachers, cooks to kids, lawmakers to legislators, these authorities shared their research, opinions and "gut feelings" on our ever-expanding girth.
During the journey, Spurlock also put his own body on the line, living on nothing but McDonald's for an entire month with three simple rules:
1) No options: he could only eat what was available over the counter (water included!)
2) No supersizing unless offered
3) No excuses: he had to eat every item on the menu at least once
I have been following a scandal over troop preparedness in the UK. It started when the widow a soldier who had died in Gulf War 2 published his audio diaries. It seems the British Army was sent into to battle without a full compliment of things like NBC gear, flak jackets, etc. Mrs. Roberts and others have not let Minister Hoon rest. He appears to be on the way out.

Iran continues to pop up to number one on the Regime Change top 10. iranfilter.com has a post to an article that quotes a defector as saying Iran was involved in 9/11. My concern would be that we believed a multitude of lies from Iraqi defectors. I wonder if it was true, and which al Queda operatives are in Iran as we speak.
The Nytimes has an interesting article about misspellings as a positive view of spam fighting. Their view is that the messages are becoming so unintelligible as to be useless.
This got me thinking. I wonder if you could use the number of misspelled words as a filter? After X misspelled words the email is quarantined. It is an interesting thought. I don't know what the proper number would be, but it should work relatively well. I wonder how you could integrate a dictionary into a spam filter? The only problem would be a lot of jargon or abbreviations would trigger it. You could possibly add a custom dictionary. The other thought is to set up a phrase that would by pass the checks and give that to friends to include at the end of their emails. This secret phrase would be different for each person. It would have to be a non dictionary string so it couldn't be included by accident.
An interesting article on metafilter.com about a South African student who won the "Distinguished African-American Student" award in his Nebraska high school. The school then cracked down on the students that put up posters championing him for the award. Don't words mean anything? He is technically an African-American. If they wanted the award to go to black students then they should have specified that.
From the AJC
Excerpt:
It's no more than a mini-stampede now, but metro Atlantans are increasingly getting the chance to fork over food dollars for once-exotic meats -- bison and ostrich -- now marketed as healthier alternatives to traditional entrees. Both are showing up on restaurant menus and in meat departments of grocery stores.
And these tidbits:
NUTRITIONAL ANALYSIS
Some alternative meats show saturated fat levels much lower than those in beef, nutritionists say. "Saturated fat raises blood cholesterol levels more than any other form of fat," said independent nutritionist Betsy Mann. "Reducing saturated fat to less than 10 percent of calories will help you lower your blood cholesterol level. The fats from meat, milk and milk products are the main sources of saturated fat in most diets."
• Lean ground beef: Per 4-ounce serving: 299 calories (percent of calories from fat, 72), 20 grams protein, no carbohydrates, no fiber, 23 grams fat (9 grams saturated fat), 85 milligrams cholesterol, 78 milligrams sodium.
• Ground bison: Per 4-ounce serving: 118 calories (percent of calories from fat, 16), 25 grams protein, no carbohydrates, no fiber, 2 grams fat (1 gram saturated fat), 70 milligrams cholesterol, 61 milligrams sodium.
• Ostrich: Per 4-ounce serving: 144 calories (percent of calories from fat, 19), 30 grams protein, no carbohydrates, no fiber, 3 grams fat (trace saturated fat), 88 milligrams cholesterol, no sodium.
• Boneless, skinless chicken breast: Per 4-ounce serving: 113 calories (percent of calories from fat, 11), 26 grams protein, no carbohydrates, no fiber, 1 gram fat (trace saturated fat), 66 milligrams cholesterol, 74 milligrams sodium.
• Pork tenderloin: Per 4-ounce serving: 136 calories (percent of calories from fat, 27), 25 grams protein, no carbohydrates, no fiber, 4 grams fat (1 gram saturated fat), 59 milligrams cholesterol, 58 milligrams sodium.
• Lean beef tenderloin: Per 4-ounce serving: 168 calories (percent of calories from fat, 41), 24 grams protein, no carbohydrates, no fiber, 8 grams fat (3 grams saturated fat), 59 milligrams cholesterol, 54 milligrams sodium.
• Fish fillet: Per 4-ounce serving: 89 calories (percent of calories from fat, 8), 20 grams protein, no carbohydrates, no fiber, 1 gram fat (trace saturated fat), 49 milligrams cholesterol, 61 milligrams sodium.
I found precompiled binaries in rpm format for Eclipse. I am installing and testing them now. I run Fedora Core 1 these days.
Update: I had to install three packages to get Eclipse to install:
error: Failed dependencies:
ctags is needed by eclipse-2.1.0-12
libgcj-ssa is needed by eclipse-2.1.0-12
oprofile >= 0.5 is needed by eclipse-2.1.0-12
ctags and oprofile are easily installable from rpmfind.net. libgcj-ssa I found at http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/
Looks like the parrot story was too good to be true.
An interesting take on Bush's State of the Onion.
There is confirmation in the Telegraph of my supposition that Atkins just works by filling you up quicker than low fat diets. I can't wait until Atkins 15 minutes are up.
Update: More news from nytimes.com as well in "The Post-Atkins Low Carb Diet" and this from the washington post.
An interesting read from Christianity Today.
It appears that HP and Cisco are thinking that 2004 is starting to shape up as a decent year for IT spending. After several years of bad news it is nice to hear something different. Of course, one terrorist attack in the US and all is called into question. The sword of Damocles is still there.
It appears that the guardian councils token inclusion of 200 additional reform candidates didn't placate the reformers. Further resignations are being threatened. I just wonder if Khatami will have the guts to back all this or will he talk a good game and back down.
Is this the pretext we are going to use to move from Iraq to Iran? We are already having enough trouble with this Shia. I know most Iranians are longing for freedom, but would they welcome the US? I know there are fewer and fewer that remember the Shaws dungeons and secret police.
A great article by William Langewiesche about the future of US space exploration. In my estimation he is asking all the right questions. We are way too focused on short term goals that have no longer term strategy. Bush has changed that somewhat with his intention to go to the moon and mars but there doesn't seem to be much backing it up atthis point.
I don't know if it was the disappeared of the bun at Hardees, The appearance of low carb foods at subway, or this article about other low carb foods coming that made me realize I am sick of hearing about this. We have gone from one extreme (low fat) to the other (low carb). It is a FAD! Diets don't work. You have to change how you eat and live to make it stick. Losing 40 pounds and gaining it back over the course of a year is worse than not doing anything.
hmmmmm... So many comments come to mind. poor Janeane. How can you look so bad and yet be a fashion victim?
What is it about dog fights? The violence or the people who enjoy it?
Reminds me of the old saw:
It's not just drugs, but the people you have to hang out with when you do them.
An couple of interesting posts from metafilter.com First is a post that references a site that has audio interview with former slaves. I could not imagine how hard their lives had been.
There is also a post about "Healthy Dietary Life In Japanese Style." I have been evolving some rules for eating and health. One concept to define is "Vacant Foods". These are foods (or beverages) that provide only calories and no appreciable nutrients. For example, candy bars, cake, non-diet colas, etc.. The rules are still evolving, but here they are for now. I am sure they will change or be amended:
1. Exercise 3-5 times a week
2. Eat lean meats (especially chicken, fish, venison, bison)
3. Eat Vacant foods once a week as a treat. Avoid drinking vacant drinks.
4. Try to limit fruit juices. Eat fruit instead
5. Eat whole grains only. Avoid potatoes as much as possible.
6. Eat MORE THAN 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
7. Try to eat 30 or more different types of fruits and vegetables in a week.
8. Drink 1% milk.
9. Watch the cold cereals. They are full of calories.
10. It is all calories. Carbs., Protein, etc. don't matter beyond the fact that they are all calories. Protein rich diets just fill you up easier and keep you full longer (IMHO).
11. Don't eat anything other than fruit after dinner. It is too easy to just sit there and munch.
12. Try to go meat free one day a week. Watch the calories though. Meat free doesn't mean pasta-fest or cheese-fest. I know lots of fat vegetarians.
13. Eat fish at least once a week.
14. Try to contain cheese. It is very caloric dense.
15. Soups can be great for you. For the serving they are less nutrient dense.
16. When you look at labels divide the calories by the serving size in grams (or mL). This gives you an idea how dense the nutrients are. 200 calories of apples is a lot more food than 200 calories of cheese.
17. Try to eat nuts once a week. Not a lot though. The oils are heart healthy.
18. I tend to shy from nutritional supplements. I take a regular multi-vitamin, two cod liver oil capsules, and garlic pill. I know people that take a lot more. I am nervous to take a lot of things that I can get in food.
more to come I am sure
I have a constant ringing in my ears. I have had this for years. Someone just mentioned they have heard that Lipoflavonoids will help this. I am curious if this will work. I wonder if many people out there have tried this.
It seems that Paris Hilton is not low enough. Now they have to torment the Amish for fun. The Amish have a concept Rumspringa(which literally means "running around"). It was documented in the great movie Devil's Playground. When an Amish young person turns sixteen they are allowed to live free from the rules that govern most of Amish society. This allows them to get to know the outside world before making a commitment to be baptized into the Amish church and return to Amish society.
From the article:
At age 16, Amish youngsters are allowed to break free of the religions strict code of conduct to decide whether they want to be baptized as adults. During the period of "rumspringa," a Pennsylvania Dutch term that means "running around," they often date, drink, drive cars and move away from their homes.
The majority return to the faith.
For UPN, the series is vaguely reminiscent of corporate cousin CBS' ill-fated attempt to make a real-life version of "The Beverly Hillbillies." Both networks are owned by Viacom.
It appears that unlike it's master Churchill's parrot is alive and well. It also have the nasty habit of saying "F*** Hitler! F*** the Nazis!". I wonder where it learned that?
It looks like Germany has realized that we haven't completely devastated Iraq. Miracles never cease. The gist of the article is that there are aspects of life that have improved immensely since the regime change. I am sure there are many deprivations, but some things are better. Also check out the hilarious picture.
When it comes to issues of science I sometimes wonder what the Bush administration is smoking. How can they deny that junk food is a factor in obesity. I hope there is more to this story than the bbc is reporting.
I just don't get the logic of this:
The WHO is pushing for lower recommended daily levels of sugar, salt and fat.
But in a document leaked to the BBC, the US Government has questioned the science behind the plan.
It criticises the focus on good and bad food, saying it has not yet been established what acceptable levels should be.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/ is an interesting read.
Sean Penn has revisited Iraq. It is nice to see how his opinions have has evolved. I originally thought he was a Useful Idiot, but I might have to reconsider. This was actually a fairly balanced piece.

I have decided there are some aspects of the Food Network that I dislike as a concept. I love some of the informative shows (e.g., Good Eats, 30 Minute Meals), but some of them come off as ego trips for the hosts, or porn for fat people.
Lehman's is your source for old-fashioned, hard-to-find items such as pickle kegs, grain mills, wooden barrels, hand water pumps, wood cookstoves, heating stoves, canning supplies, and much, much more.
There is also a thread running on Kevin Kelly's blog on various catalogs that are people's favorites. I love catalogs. I don't know why. I just like browsing what trinkets are out there. It must appeal to my acquisative nature. I have to fight that urge constantly. At least with the web, blogging, etc I can collect things electronically. Saves space at home.
An interesting photoblog that has found photos as it's basis. There is something intimate and vulnerable about seeing these discarded moments.
I spoke to the Atlanta Unix Users Group last week. It went well. There was a good crowd, and lots of questions. My topic was Samba/CIFS installing, configuring, and troubleshooting. This is the same paper I gave at hpworld. I somehow lost the presentation and had to recreate it.

The world's funniest joke - official
Thursday October 3, 01:05 PM
By Corey Ullman
LONDON (Reuters) - After a year of painstaking scientific research, the world's funniest joke has been revealed!
In a project described as the largest-ever scientific study into humour the British Association for the advancement of Science asked Internet users around the world to submit their favourite jokes and rate the funniness of other people's offerings.
More than 40,000 jokes from 70 countries and two million critiques later, this is it:
"Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other man pulls out his phone and calls emergency services.
He gasps to the operator: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator. in a calm, soothing voice replies: "Take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead."
There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the hunter says, "Ok, now what?"
Researchers found significant differences between nations in the types of jokes they found funny.
People from the UK, the Republic of Ireland, Australia and New Zealand preferred gags involving word play, such as:
PATIENT: "Doctor, I've got a strawberry stuck up my bum."
DOCTOR: "I've got some cream for that."
Americans and Canadians favoured jokes where people were made to look stupid.
TEXAN: "Where are you from?"
HARVARD GRAD: "I come from a place where we do not end our sentences with prepositions."
TEXAN: "OK -- where are you from, jackass?"
Meanwhile, many Europeans liked gags that were surreal or made light of serious subjects such as illness, death and marriage:
A patient says, "Doctor, last night I made a Freudian slip, I was having dinner with my mother-in-law and wanted to say: 'Could you please pass the butter?'
"But instead I said: 'You silly cow, you have completely ruined my life.'"
Marriage-mocking also featured in the top American joke:
"A man and a friend are playing golf one day. One of the guys is about to chip onto the green when he sees a long funeral procession on the road next to the course.
"He stops in mid-swing, takes off his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer. His friend says: 'Wow that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You are truly a kind man.'
"The man then replies: 'Yeah, well, we were married 35 years.'"
Death earned big laughs in Scotland:
"I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather. Not screaming in terror like his passengers."
And animals figured prominently. Take the number one joke in England:
"Two weasels are sitting on a bar stool. One starts to insult the other one. He screams, 'I slept with your mother!'
"The bar gets quiet as everyone listens to see what the other weasel will do.
"The first again yells, 'I SLEPT WITH YOUR MOTHER!'
"The other says: 'Go home dad, you're drunk.'"
The survey revealed other fun facts:
-- Of the countries rating the highest number of jokes, Germans, perhaps surprisingly, laughed the most. Canadians laughed least.
-- If you want to tell a funny animal joke, make it a duck.
-- The most frequently submitted joke, at 300 times, was: "What's brown and sticky? A stick."
Researchers said no one ever found it funny.
The findings can be read at www.laughlab.co.uk
Here is the rockfarm weblog. This is the weblog for a u-pickem farm near here. I love fresh fruits and vegetables. Each thing in their own season.
Another good tidbit from the AJC. It shows an example of potting bulbs. I planted 50 or so bulbs over the winter. The tulips are already sprouting up. I am curious to see how they turn out.
A neat doc from the AJC on when to prune bushes. I'am always confused on this. Prune at the wrong time and the bush may not flower, or may be harmed.

Both index and pager allow you to perform common mail operations - delete, forward, reply, save - and use standard keys for navigation. Here's a quick list of the default navigation keys (you can change these if they don't work for you, keep reading for details):
Key What it does Where it does it
---------------------------------------------------------
j Move one line up Index
k Move one line down Index
z Move one page up Index

q Close message Pager
In addition to these navigation keys, Mutt also allows you to perform commonly-used functions just by tapping the appropriate key. Here's what you need to get started:
Key What it does Where it does it
---------------------------------------------------------
m Compose new message Index, pager
r Reply to current message Index, pager
f Forward current message Index, pager
d Delete current message Index, pager
b Bounce current message Index, pager
c View different mailbox Index, pager

q Quit Index, pager
You can obtain a complete list from the Mutt manual, or by tapping the
You already know that the
a
key is used to capture email addresses and create aliases for them. You can specify the location of the file which stores these aliases:
Note, however, that I can still view the complete headers of any message by hitting
h
in the pager.
You can customize the message display in the index with the "index_format" variable, which allows you to specify which elements to display in each message index line. The default setting is
set index_format="%4C %Z %{%b %d} %-15.15L (%4l) %s" # format index
which translates to
set index_format="number status date sender lines subject"
Want a no-frills version? This one only displays the date, sender and subject:

With a modest collection of quality hand tools, even an inexperienced person can make vital repairs. You can disassemble obsolete equipment, build things. Imagine trying to "double dig" a garden bed (see Jeavon's books) without a shovel, or taking any device apart without a screwdriver or pliers.
Stainless steel and cast iron cookware have a much longer and varied useable life than aluminum, teflon, and plastic ones.
There is useful information on technology for primitive situations at http://www.vita.org and http://www.attra.org You can print this web site and those, for future reference.
Books, or other printed means, are the simplest means of accessing knowledge in a crashed society.
Microfiche, once a popular means to store large volumes of information, has become "old fashioned". But in microfiche, a person or community can carry hundreds, indeed thousands of books. Microfiche can be adequately read using even a child's toy microscope. Electronic media, whether CD's, tapes, disks, etc., all require a functioning appropriate player which may become defective. The authors mentioned earlier, Jeavons for agriculture http://www.growbiointensive.org, and Reynolds http://www.earthship.org/nav/index.htm. for housing, are good examples of places to begin.
