    Not that any would admit, at least... And not that any of the "busy-bodies" would notice, anyway. ;P

The US does more for information control than "monetary" gain and this has been the case since they became a "Super Power". This is more often than not to protect its status and people. Granted, information can acheive monetary gain but that does not mean that is why the information is pursued (just as any other action gaining indirect monetary gain). Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

    Tomatoes were regarded as poisonous and potatoes as well. But i doubt that was because someone died of lead poisoning. It might more have to do with the fact that both plants are of the nightshade family, well known to be poisonous. A while ago he asked me what he should have printed on my business cards. I said 'Wizard'. I read books which nobody else understand. Then I do something which nobody understands. After that the computer does something which nobody understands. When asked, I say things about the results which nobody understand. But everybody expects miracles from me on a regular basis. Looks to me like the classical definition of a wizard.
