All CD pirates & drug users know this, since you didn't, you are therefore probably not a CD pirate or drug user. By telling you this, you now know that these systems contain flaws. The "suppress-information-to-protect-the-kiddies" line is always bound to trigger a debate. There are 2 problems. The 'bad guys' always get there first, and the knee-jerk solution is always broken. It's hard to explain that the solution usually leads to other hassles, such as some high end CD players won't play copy protected CDs. Blue lights at best merely shift, not stop the problem; a typical NIMBY attitude. Sure, they don't shoot up in YOUR toilets anymore. Besides, you can find a vein by touch, or once the needle is in, pull the plunger back to see if it fills with blood, meaning you haven't hit muscle. You can still inject into muscle, it just means the effect of the drug (any drug, btw) will be slower. And eventually, it ends up being a "what about bomb recipes on the internet then?" discussion. Google turns up interesting stuff, as usual. Tony -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
