More Big Brother

2 more stories highlighting the control-freakery going on in the world at the moment...

The first from those friendlies in Canada... A new law which proposes that internet communication can be intercepted without a warrant:
"law enforcement will be able to compel ISPs to disclose subscriber information, including name, address, IP address, telephone number, and cellphone number. It would appear that such information can be compelled without judicial oversight".... amongst other things...

And secondly, the US has won over maintaing control over the Internet, the one item which should remain and become independent:
"U.S. officials said early Wednesday that instead of transferring management of the system to an international body such as the United Nations, an international forum would be created to address concerns. The forum, however, would have no binding authority...."...

But on the brighter side, sort of, is that again that friendly lot in Canada have got some of their Truckers to use an add on to inject hydrogen-made-on-the-go into their engines:
"HFI is a bolt-on, aftermath part that injects small amounts of hydrogen into the engine air intake, said Canadian Hydrogen energies Steve Gilchrist. Fuel efficiency and horsepower are improved because hydrogen burns faster and hotter than diesel, dramatically boosting combustion efficiency... ...But the HFI system uses electricity from an engine's alternator to power the electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen as needed from small amounts of distilled water"...

Take Care out There, They are watching You....
