I was afraid something like this might happen. It is one of my Millennium predictions

Apocalypse Chow: Pollution will soon make raw oysters (“hepatitis on a half shell&#8221 or salads (“a coliform bacteria on a bed of greens&#8221 a distant memory. Everyone will genetically engineer their own food at home, with hilarious results. You will eat dinner, with an outside chance that dinner will eat you.

You see, none of this will be an issue in the future, as we will all download our minds into the internet and we will never need worry about getting food ever again, let alone getting food hygiene. The ISP wars are really going to get ugly though... (I can see it now: '15 hours of free internet time per month for your soul'-ach...)

Here in New Zealand, our biggest ISP provides unlimited access for $35 per week. About 10 British pounds, $18 US

Must've been one hell of an ISP war to get to that heavenly state of affairs.

The wars continue. It is a totally deregulated environment

Same here. Anyway, I must say goodnight now and turn in. Later...
