# Falun Gong reminds China of past. BEIJING (AP) As fast as they appeared in
China's political heart, those in the banned Falun Gong spiritual movement
went underground, on the run from cops, biding their time. In the struggle
between the sect & the Communist Party lies a tale of two groups: one, a
band of faithful held together by zeal, organization & the tools of the
InfoAge; the other, heirs to a revolutionary army grown ploddingly bureau-
cratic and less ideological in running a vast, changing nation. See
http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2561876860-6ab
: Have you overthrown any aging bureaucracies lately? Have you tried? Will
you win eventually? How many will die first? Have aliens ingested y'r brain?

# DID: Research & Pseudoscience. Some egregious abuses of science have come
from those attacking the validity of a diagnosis of dissociative identity
disorder (formally called multiple personality disorder or MPD). Here are
some examples of how bias and personal opinion can masquerade as serious
research. Read'em and weep: http://idealist.com/tat/98-07-02-did.shtml
: Have you published any pseudoscience lately? Were you well rewarded? Did
your inner voices fight over just what you'd present? Which prevailed? Why?

# Take A Ringside Seat For A Blast: Supercomputers are giving scientists a
ringside seat for one of the most violent events in nature, the heart of
a gamma ray burst. The "collapsar" model simulates a star that is too
heavy to go supernova, and thus turns itself inside out. Yuk.

: Are you a star? Are you supermassive, like Marlon Brando? Have you ripped
your guts out lately? Did aliens/mindcontrollers/deities/demons force you?

# OH MY DARWIN! Cambridge, Mass. is home to some of America's most prominent
evolutionary scientists. But that don't make'em friends & allies; far from
it. Harvard entomologist E.O.Wilson & MIT psychologist Steven Pinker think
we owe even language and morality to gene-based natural selection. They're
fiercely opposed by Harvard biologists Stephen J.Gould & Richard Lewontin,
who say mysteries of evolution can't be reduced to DNA. Is Cambridge big
enough for both points of view? http://linguafranca.com/9911/darwin.html
: Have your language and morality evolved? Does genetics determine culture?
Is evolution shaped by deities, demons, aliens, robots, me? What's your fave
evolutionary mystery? Who/what programmed your DNA? Do you program DNA? Why?

Why not? Is your god bigger than a mega-dino? Are you? Try Weight Watchers.

# RealJukebox raises privacy frets. WASHINGTON (AP) One of the most popular
software programs for listening to music on computers is secretly sending
details back to a Seattle company about customers' musical preferences,
including the CDs each listens to and how many songs he copies. Those scum
buckets! http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2561878422-fbe
# Electronic signatures bill rejected. WASHINGTON (AP) After a day of heated
opposition by Demos, the House rejected legislation to make it easier for
companies and consumers to conduct business online by affirming the
validity of electronic signatures. Consumer protections stripped away by
GOP - see http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2561879591-5e6
