Likely what they are seeing is diabetics expel extra sugar in their urine. A lot of bacteria feed on sugars so we're probably seeing certain species taking advantage of the free lunch.

Heck, why don't we blame sprinkling iron sulphate on the pacific?
I see green people! EVERYWHERE!
Frankly, I think the Conservatives are the worst of the bunch. Secretive and arrogant. They also have a bad habit of leaving Canadians in trouble outside the country out to dry... There is very little I find appealing about the Conservatives. This has to be the hardest hearted bunch of politicians I have seen in government in the last 20 years... and this is from someone who has voted Liberal, NDP and Progress Conservative.
When I look at this issue, one thing that comes to mind is a lot of investment banks run part of their IT operations in India. With regulations as they are in North America, how long do you think the banks will keep their operations in India if they can't guarantee security with their communications?
I see nothing of proprietary value here... It's just a whole bunch of references to functions and type definitions
Keep an eye out for the Silver Surfer
Holly: Busy, Dave?
Lister: Well, yeah. I am, actually.
Holly: Oh, then you won't want to know about the two super-lightspeed
fighters that are tracking us.
Lister: What?!
Holly: I'll leave you to your bubble blowing, mate.
Lister: No, Hol, come on, come on.
Holly: They're from Earth.
Lister: Three million years away?
Holly: They're from the NorWEB federation.
Lister: What's that?
Holly: The North Western Electricity Board. They want you, Dave.
Lister: Me? Why? What for?
Holly: For your crimes against humanity.
Lister: You what!
Holly: It seems when you left Earth three million years ago, you
left two half-eaten German sausages on a plate in your
kitchen.
Lister: Did I?
Holly: You know what happens to sausages left unattended for
three million years?
Lister: Yeah. They go all mouldy.
Holly: Your sausages, Dave, now cover seven-eighths of the Earth's
surface. Also you left seventeen pounds, fifty pence in a
bank account. Thanks to compound interest you now own
ninety-eight percent of all the world's wealth, but since
you've hoarded it for three million years nobody's got any
money except for you and NorWEB.
Lister: Why NorWEB?
Holly: You left a light on in the bathroom. I've got a final demand
here for one hundred and eighty billion pounds.
Lister: A hundred and eighty billion pounds! You're kidding!
Holly: (wearing Groucho Marx disguise) April fool.
Lister: But it's not April.
Holly: Yeah, I know, but I could hardly wait six months with a red-hot
jape like that under my belt.
I hear that the Chinese navy is going to be deployed to fight the pirates... how ironic!
40 pounds at 100 MPH? Think speeding on the highway and hitting a dog.
You are in a maze of UUCP connections, all alike.
