Re: Who's next? Mormons and Jews?
It's my understanding that Koresh didn't want to come
out alive, rather to fulfill his own interpretations
of some prophecies.
More interesting was discussions on the news about subterannean
tunnels under the complex. Wonder if he was planning on hiding
out a few days, then re-emerging "resurrected"? Sounds a bit
like the book "Passover Plot" to me. Hmmmmm...

When you say, "By definition", what exactly is being defined;
certainly not omnipotence. You seem to be saying that the "rules of
nature" are pre-existant somehow, that they not only define nature but
actually cause it. If that's what you mean I'd like to hear your

In a cell church, the fundamental building block is the "cell group" -- a
small group of no more than 15 believers. The small groups are responsible
for the ministry of the church: evangelism and discipleship. The emphasis
is on relationships, not on programs, and both the evangelism and the
discipling are relationship-based.
This will probably raise more questions than it answered, but that's it in
a nutshell.

Take a look at WinQVT/net -- the latest version is QVT/net 3.4
It comes in versions that are direct to packet driver, as well as a PC NFS
version.
It is priced quite low; registration = $40, student registration = $20, and is
a nice package -- comes complete with VT220 terminal emulation, FTP, POP3
client, LPR, and NNTP client.
You can FTP it from "biochemistry.bioc.cwru.edu" /pub/qvtnet/qvtnet34.zip
It was also uploaded to ftp.cica.indiana.edu recently.

I've had, and still have a few aluminum sticks. I got my first when I was 15
(a Christian), and broke the shaft halfway through the season, two years
later. I bought another (a Canadian) at the beginning of the next season,
and I still have it. I also have an Easton, that a friend was getting rid
off, after giving up the game. I find that Easton blades are easier to get,
but all brands of blades are pretty well interchangeable. Watch out for
dried up bits of firewood, that some stores pass off as blades. In my
experiences, the blades of an aluminum break more often than regular sticks,
but I've only ever broken one aluminum shaft.
I like aluminum sticks. The blades are quickly changed, even on the bench
if you have to. On the downside, the shaft won't break if you decide to
impale yourself on it :-)

You didn't mention whether or not cost is an issue. Where
exactly are you running 100MHz?? THe digital side? TTL?
ECL? We run 200MHz and 100MHz all over our IC test equipment
all day long in the ECL domain, and we use DIP's along
with PLCC's, 25mil and 20mil pitch 256pin QFP's to name
a few. I don't see a problem in packaging as long
as you adhere to sound engineering practices.
A good source of information is Motorola's MECL System Design
Handbook. The latest ed. is dated 2/88. That is considered
to be one of the *bibles* in high-speed design.
The very fact that you need to build a test fixture means
you're most likely going to need a socket. It in itself
has far more inductance per pin than the package you are
testing, not to mention any impedance discontinuities. I
don't see the big concern over the packaging because it
probably isn't going to make that much difference
If you're trying to get TTL to run at 100MHz, have fun...
TTL was never designed to run in a 100MHz environment.

SUMMARY: DES: init vector as additional key?
At the risk of getting lost in the clipper chip discussion I give a

Unfortunately the answer is no - concealing the initialisation vector
essentially doesn't give any additional security. I got 3 answers (from
grady@netcom.com, Mark.Lomas@cl.cam.ac.uk, smb@research.att.com) that
opened my eyes. It's pretty simple:
Say E is encryption (and D decryption) with key K on 64-bit blocks.
Let c[0] be the initialisation vector,
m[1], m[2], ... the message blocks,
c[1], c[2], ... the cipher text blocks.
Then encryption in cipher block chaining (CBC) mode works by the formula
c[i] = E(m[i] XOR c[i-1]),
and decryption by
m[i] = c[i-1] XOR D(c[i]).
So if the attacker doesn't have c[0] this only affects the first message
block m[1]. But she can do her key search attack on m[2], m[3], ...
The situation in cipher feedback (CFB) mode is a bit more complicated but
similar and left as an exercise for the reader :-)
Finally there is the modified output feedback mode (OFB) where DES (or
whatever block cipher you use) simply acts as random generator by
s[i] = E(s[i-1]) with initialisation vector (= seed) s[0],
and encryption is given by
c[i] = m[i] XOR s[i].
Here the usual `known plaintext' attack against XOR-bitstream ciphers
reduces the cracking to key search for K.

The dogma of the Assumption does not state whether or not Mary died a
physical death before being taken into Heaven. Catholics are free to
believe what they wish, whether it be that she was taken still alive, or
after having died. I lean somewhat toward the latter myself.

I don't think they can do that without changing the law. The chip itself
isn't classified, and reverse engineering is allowed by law (possibly)
unless prohibited by a valid contract. The algorithm may be classified,
but there are many court cases ruling that information identical to
classfied information, but obtained from unclassified sources, is freely
publishable (with the possible exception of nuclear weapon information.)

Not so, Arnie. You forget repeating arms (which include machine

Sorry Len, this is exactly how he suffered from being rushed to the bigs.
Being overweight and having no work ethic, leading to being injury prone with
nothing to loose, might have been corrected in Richmond. (Did you intend a
smiley after your comment?)
This brings back the long suffering memories of pre-chop Braves fans who
kept being promised the Bob Horner - Dale Murphy back to back power slam. Who
could stop that? Guess we'll never know.
P.S. - Rocky fans (are there any yet?) Is Dale getting any playing time out
there? I plan to be at the game on June 28th, they'll have to play him then.

No wonder in the light of that you are a probably a theist who tries

service indicator of a BMW
Does anyone know how to reset the service indicator of a BMW after changing
the oil yourself?
Also, I have about 3,000 miles on my 525i and so far only one of the five
yellow service indicators went out. That means I don't need oil service until
it reach approximatly 15,000 miles which doesn't make sense to me. Any idea?
PS of cause I did my first oil change at 1,200 miles

ATM
I've been reading, with much confusion, about whether or not to use
ATManager. Lately, all the packages I've been buying have all
included ATManager as a "bonus"
I do some desktop publishing using PageMaker and Coreldraw.
Coreldraw comes with a nifty laser disk that contains over 200 diff
types. Add that to the TTfonts that come with win31 and you have a
decent amount of fonts. I print my creations out on an HP4
Postcript, at 600 dpi resolution with the "Resolution Enhancement
Technology" and .. well ... I get some darn good copies.
So good that there isn't any diff whether or not ATManager is turned
on or not. Is it worth it to run ATM at all? Especially with these
better printer technologies ... and TT?

Software Development Libs for Old TARGA-16 Boards
I am revamping some computer-aided visual inspection systems which
use the old AT&T Targa-16 Board Set (2 cards) to display images from
a color CCD camera to a color monitor, providing the option to overlay
text or a crosshair. No image capture or manipulation is performed,
just display. I would like to know if there is still a source for
development libraries which would allow me to embed commands in my
own software to enable the camera, draw crosshairs, print text, etc.
I'll be glad to pay if they are commercially available. E-Mail if
possible.

If you take them on rough trails, you'll see the difference. The Cruiser

Re: Choice of gauges
If I'm going to drive on a public road then I need a
speedometer, and an odometer helps for navigation.
My 1965 Chevy has a bare minimum: Engine-temp and
Oil-press warning lights and a fuel gauge.
My 1983 VW has tach, water-temp, voltmeter
and oil-temp gauges.
If I had a turbo car, I'd want a vacuum manifold/boost
gauge. An oil pressure gauge is a nice, reassuring
gauge to look at. If my car was air cooled, then I
would substitute a cyl-head-temp gauge for the water-temp
gauge.
A few years ago, I looked at the Audi Quattro Si Coupe
that Bobby Unser used to win the 1986 Pikes Peak Hill Climb.
The gauge layout, from left to right, top to bottom was:
----------------------------------
speedometer
----------------------------------
fuel tranny
press temp
----------------------------------
differential water
temp temp
----------------------------------
big orange tach
oil-press
warning light
----------------------------------

Well, I thought that highmem.sys would do that too. I just took out emm386
of my config.sys, and I'm still loading my other drivers high (mouse, vga
shadow bios, dos-key etc.) I haven't checked mem/c, but I believe I have
managed to load them high (ie between 640KB and 1024KB).
Also, ever since I took out emm386, windows loads slightly faster, I get
about 3 extra meg of freemem in windows (I'm running 386 enhanced with 4
Meg RAM, 7 Meg swap) and I got rid of my ctrl-alt del reboot problem
(before, the computer would not reboot using ctrl-alt-del after exiting
windows).
I would really like to keep emm386 out of my config.sys. Anybody else have
info on this???

Information needed...
Hi! This is my first time to post on this news group. Now a days , I have stucked at a certain problem. I have '88 mazda mx-6, non turbo fuel injection.
There is a engine warning signal on the dash board. While driving, this signal turns on, but not always. What does this mean? In the manual, they say "Go to authorized mazda dealer.". It is really good idea. Don't you think so?
I wanna know how the engine warning signal comes. Is anybody out there who can give me same advice as "authorized mazda dealer" can give ?

This, simply stated, is a result of the bankrupt ethics in
the healthcare and scientific medicine industries.
America is fed up with the massive waste and fraud that is costing
us 15% of our GNP to support these industries, while delivering
marginal health care to the community.
Unfortunately, the "Clinton Plan", in whatever form it
takes, will probably cost us an even greater sum. Bleah.

To repeat what I said in an earlier post: Evolution is theory and fact. If you
accept the facts, then that is a display of reason and intelligence and much
different from anachronistic religion. If you assess the theories of evolution
objectively, then there can be 0% religion involved and evolution remains
useful in the realm of science.
Simply put, evolution/creation when each is looked at properly - theory/fact
vs. assertion/fiction - is a specific example of exactly what separates reason
and science from nonsense.

The VW "Thing" Kubelwagen lookalike is still manufactured in Mexico and
possibly South America. Good luck importing one-- They probably don't meet
US safety and pollution requirements. There are mechanics and junkyards
which specialize in VW; they might be helpful for finding a "Thing" unless
the WWII re-enacters have grabbed them all.
The WWII Kubelwagen was the German equivalent of the Jeep, but was not 4-
wheel drive. One is on display at the Patton Museum at Fort Knox, Kentucky,
also the rare "Schwimwagen" (sp?) amphibious version, in full-scale dioramas.
Highly recommended!

$1bil space race ideas/moon base on the cheap.
That is an idea.. The most efficient moon habitat..
also the idea of how to get the people off the moon once the prize was won..
Also the idea of how to rescue someone who is "dying" on the moon.
Maybe have a area where they can all "see" each other, and can help each other
if something happens..
I liek the idea of one prize for the first moon landing and return, by a
non-governmental body..
Also the idea of then having a moon habitat race..
I know we need to do somthing to get people involved..
Eccentric millionaire/billionaire would be nice.. We see how old Ross feels
about it.. After all it would be a great promotional thing and a way to show he
does care about commericalization and the people.. Will try to broach the
subject to him..
Moonbase on the cheap is a good idea.. NASA and friends seem to take to much
time and give us to expensive stuff that of late does not work (hubble and
such). Basically what is the difference between a $1mil peice of junk and a
multi $1mil piece of junk.. I know junk..

For Sale: 386/25MHz motherboard (or system) with 8 megabytes
I recently upgraded to a 486 and have found out I don't really have a need
for my old 386. I'd prefer to sell just the motherboard and keep the case
etc, so I'll offer the motherboard and case separately and let you decide.
I'm asking $325 for the motherboard, which has:
25Mhz 386 DX (not SX)
8 megabytes of 32-bit, 70ns memory
AMI BIOS
based on C&T NEAT chipset
(this means the motherboard and bus circuitry timings are
programmable - the BIOS' advanced configuration menus let you
select system, DMA, bus clock, wait states, command delays, etc.)
"baby AT" sized - fits in mini-tower, full-sized or most any other case
(Includes User's Guide and a copy of the BIOS reference manual)
For $150 more you could have the rest of the system too:
full-size AT case with 200(?) watt power supply
2 serial, 1 parallel, 1 game ports
20Mb hard disk
1.2Mb floppy disk
keyboard
video card (choice of VGA or ???)
If you're interested, please give me a call. The system is set up at my house
in Aloha, and you're welcome to come test drive it.

Upgrade from 286 to 486 help needed!!!
Greetings,
Please forgive me if this is FAQ. If there is source on this kind of info,
please let me know. I just got a 286 station (around 21*16.5*7 in dimension),
and I am thinking about upgrade it to a 486 or 386.
The station has a power supply, two floppy disk drives, and the big
case. I have SONY 1304 monitor, SyQuest drive (Mac), and maybe a cd-rom
reader (Mac) for it. Here are the questions I have so far:
1) Is there a 486 motherboard at this dimension that I could use the case?
2) The original owener has the controller for floppy drive and hard disk
removed. Can I use them to control these devices under 486? How much do I
have to pay for a new controllers if the old ones won't work?
3) How can I make SyQuest (SCSI) and cd-rom (SCSI) work on this station?
I heard that there is a cheap sound board that has SCSI controller built-in?
What's quality of this board? How much usually does a SCSI control cost?
Is there any ftp sites that has SyQuest driver or cd-rom driver for the PC if
I can have everything hooked up OK?4) What I want is a 486 motherboard, a sound board to make it a MPC-
quality station. How much would it cost to do that? Is it worth the hussle
than just buy a new 486 station? BTW, I need to buy a keyboard for it too.
Any input is welcome.
Thank you.

Re: TechWorks -- What You Say?
Well, although this may be an uncommon occurrence (or not) I had a "bad"
experience with TechWorks. This past summer I upgraded (increased) the memory in
a powerbook and a ci. When I called to place the order for the PB RAM, I was
told by the sales person that they would give me a $50 rebate if I would return
the original RAM (which was also TechWorks RAM.) I followed the instructions for
returning the old RAM, expecting to see a credit on my VISA within a few weeks.
Well, months went by, and no credit. After many calls (almost none of which were
ever returned - arghhh) I finally found someone who told me "Why we never
received your old chips." I then explained I the procedure that I had
followed to return them, to which the person replied "You mean you sent them
US Mail?" (which I had, per the original sales person's instructions.) I was
told that they their loss of US mail shipments is not uncommon (come on) and that
I should have sent the stuff via FedEx, etc. I reasoned that I had done exactly
what I had been told to, but they would not budge, the people I spoke with were
absolutely no help. I sent letters, copies of the original receipts, attempted
to trace the package through the US mail, made *many* more phone calls to
TechWorks, all to no avail (I wouldn't give-up because I was so disgusted.)
Sales/support people, supervisors, there was nothing I could do to pursuade them
to "make it right."
I finally (in total disgust) wrote a letter to my credit card company, asking
them to investigate the problem. Three weeks later, the credit miraculously
appeared on my statement. I have not (in recent memory) been so disgusted with
the service that I received from a company. In all fairness, they had no way of
knowing that was not trying to rip them off, but I went to *such* great lengths
to prove to them that this really happened. Oh well, c'est la vie. I will never
buy another product from them again.

Don't remember the spectra, but have seen some autocorrelation functions

time.

I believe there were claims from an earlier satellite (Ginga?) of
detection of cyclotron absorption lines. These lines were taken as
strong evidence for neutron stars being the objects responsible for
GRBs since the magnetic field indicated was 1.0E12, fairly typical
for a neutron star. However, Compton GRO has not seen any of these
lines and I get the impression that many are beginning to doubt whether
these lines were ever real.

*If* the bursts are in the halo, they most certainly are saying something
about dark matter there. However, if they are in the halo, in order
that they appear isotropic, the "core radius" of the halo (i.e. the
innermost region of the halo) has to be greater than about 50 kpc.
The halo itself would stretch much further than this. Since the
Andromeda Galaxy is only 700 kpc away, we should be seeing bursts
from that galaxy's halo, which we aren't.
js> If the bursts are something like the cosmic black body radiation from

Remember to get a redshift, one needs some type of emission or
absorption line so one can compare the observed line frequency
to the rest line frequency. Since no lines are seen in GRB spectra,
that comparison cannot be made.

Things could be worse. A lot worse! In the mid-eighties the
teen/adult sci-fi comic 2000AD (Fleetway) produced a short story
featuring the award winning character "Judge Dredd". The story
focussed on an advertising agency of the future who use high powered
multi-coloured lasers/search lights pointed at the moon to paint
images on the moon. Needless to say, this use hacked off a load of lovers,
romantics and werewolfs/crazies. The ad guys got chopped, the service
discontinued. A cautionary tale indeed!

I don't think that the universe would look like a black hole from

I am personally convinced that what we call our "universe" is only a
small part of a larger system. Further, I think that it is logically
necessary for the laws of our universe be confined to this universe
itself.
Why do I believe this? It is simple; I believe that the odds against
there being only one universe and that universe having the right conditions
to support us are infinate. I believe that to explain our existance in
this universe it is necessary to either consider multiple universes
(an infinate number of them) or intelligent design. Since the only
intelligence that we know of is of a higher order than simple matter
(the brain is made of matter) by Ockham's razor I go for the first
choice.
What's more, there are a couple of books out dealing with popular
science that use parallel universes and holographic universes (which
is another way of saying parallel) to explain the behavior of particals
at the quantum level. One is called Parallel Universes, and I think it
is by Wolf, the other The Holographic Universe.
BTW, the parallel universe approach implys an element of mind in the
very physical reality of the universe.

I can wait 'cos I've already got an accelerated card. It does 1280x1024 but

I only wait when the difference between my current system and the new stuff
is big enough to warrant changing. For instance, I'll be upgrading my 486 33
to a 486DX-2 66 EISA, VLB board RSN. The performance difference (under Linux)
is great enough to be worthwhile. At the same time I'll be buying a new
graphic card and new SCSI controller. I'll be buying an S3 card 'cos they're
fast enough, I have X11 drivers for them and it'll have 2MB VRAM just like
a Weitek 9000 card. It will also be MUCH cheaper. When affordable 4MB cards
arrive, I'll buy one.

Over the last year I've done much the same. But now I need a 19" monitor, more
memory (20MB just ain't enough), a GB disk (1.2GB and no space left...). Oh
well, stay single, don't smoke and you may afford it this year ;-)

dont have harddisk type 47 ....
Hello,
a friend a mine has a commodore 386sx and we've put in that machine
a second harddisk, he now has 100+200 MB. But the problem is that
the 200MB harddisk isn't supported in the bios. Alas there's no user type
47 in the setup. At the moment we use it as a 193MB type but there are
getting bad blocks on the harddisk :-<. Question: who knows a solution to this?
I've seen a small program for this once in the BYTE, but I haven't been able
to find this. Would speedstor or diskmanager work for this, I used these
programs quite a lot in the XT-days, but I don't have these anymore, Seagate
used to ship diskmanager with each drive they sold.
Help will be greatly appreciated.

I prefer a manual to an automatic as it should be. I believe that automatics
should only be manufactured for people with physical disabilities who otherwise
would not be able to drive. Automatic transmissions allow drivers to be lazy.
More time is available to fiddle with the radio or to look at the scenery
instead of concentrating on the road. The manual transmission keeps the drive
always doing something, granted it isn't a large movement. Plus, driving should
be FUN! Driving a manual is fun, driving an automatic is a chore.
In the case of shift speed, automatics can be made to shift far faster
that any human could move a stick. If I was racing, I'd want and automatic. For
normal driving go with the manual.

SIMMs prices
I'm looking for the best source for SIMMs in the USA. I'm not looking for
the lowest prices, but rather for the best quality SIMMs and the one with
the lowest rate of defective SIMMs. I know the chip Merchant has good
prices but they seems to have a high rate of returned SIMMs.
Does anyone know how many SIMMs you have to purchase to obtain quantity
discount ?.
Thank you.

No. That these drugs happen to be useful as antidepressants is neither

To use the grayscale features, I believe you need a Mac equipped
with colour quickdraw. I was told this somewhere or other, but it's
not mentioned in "Apple Facts" (guide for apple sellers), in the

Hmmm, give everyone a gun, free. What a thought. Let's see where it would

Funding abortion for those women who can't afford it would save the
government money, not cost it. The cost of delivery is much higher,
and those women can't afford that either. Funding guns, as you suggest
as an "analogy" would *cost* the government money and would lead to
effective anarchy. See the difference? Somehow I doubt you can.

HELP: FDHD failure in IIcx
REPOST - DUE TO NET PROBLEMS
Hi,
I have problems with the FDHD on a IICX that EKG reports is ROM
revision 376. I had reports that this Mac was having trouble
formatting disks and by the time I got to it, the FDHD just would
not respond although all other functions were fine.
I checked the voltages on the DB19 external drive connector and pin
6 showed no volts with 7 and 8 giving 25volts unloaded. The power
supply is an Astec and I sent it away for repair.
With the power supply reinstalled, I now get the following error:
With the internal FDHD connected, the Mac boots fine but on completion
of boot cycle an alert displays "The disk is unreadable - do you
want to eject it?". For every combination of response, the alert
reappears within approx 2 seconds and this error is continuous. The
FDHD does spin but there is no head seeking and the FDHD is incapable
of ejecting the disk. This error sequence occurs regardless of whether
there is a floppy in the drive or not. Pin 6 on the DB19 external
connector shows 1.2V, pins 7 and 8 show 10.75V.
With the internal FDHD disconnected, the Mac boots fine and works great
(MacEKG reports no errors). The DB19 external connector now shows
no voltage on pin 6 but pins 7 and 8 show 10.75V.
Now, the internal FDHD may be fubar, but I have an apple 800K external
drive that gives exactly the same symptoms as the internal drive when
connected to either the external DB19 or the internal connector at J16
(after suitable surgery to the external drive). The voltages at J16
(with the internal FDHD disconnected) are as follows:
PIN Volts PIN Volts
1 - 2 5
3 - 4 5
5 - 6 5
7 - 8 -
9 - 10 5
11 - 12 -
13 10.75 14 5
15 10.75 16 5
17 10.75 18 -
19 10.75 20 5
This machine has a SWIM which I don't think EKG tests. I have tested all
diodes and pica fuses and can find no problems. Does anybody have any
ideas ?
Best wishes,
Woody.

You forgot the part about encasing it in a small shaped charge so that

No...Quinn had far less...Murray took over Detroit at a time to

The tax protesters are legally correct, but they are put in jail anyway.
The weakness of the governments legal position is shown by the fact that when
someone protesting tax or gun laws on legal grounds gets a federal jury trial
(very rare) the feds blatantly stack the jury, with the same old faces turning
up time after time.
However Teel should have mentioned that though his advice is legally sound, if
you follow it you will probably wind up in jail.

HELP! Need JPEG / MPEG encod-decode
I am involve in a Distant Learning project and am in need
of Jpeg and Mpeg encode/decode source and object code.
This is a NOT-FOR PROFIT project that once completed I
hope to release to other educational and institutional
learning centers.
This project requires that TRUE photographic images be sent
over plain telephone lines. In addition if there is a REAL Good
GUI lib with 3D objects and all types of menu classes that can
be use at both end of the transaction (Server and Terminal End)
I would like to hear about it.
We recently posted an RFD announcing the OTG (Open Telematic Group)
that will concern itself with the developement of such application
and that it would incorporate NAPLPS, JPEG, MPEG, Voice, IVR, FAX
Sprites, Animation(fli, flc, etc...).
At present only DOS and UNIX environment is being worked on and it
our hope that we can generate enough interest where all the major
platform can be accomodated via a plaform independent API/TOOLKIT/SDK
We are of the mind that it is about time that such project and group
be form to deal with these issues.
We want to setup a repository where these files may be access such as
Simte20 and start putting together a OTG FAQ.
If you have some or any information that in your opinion would be
of interest to the OTG community and you like to see included in our
first FAQ please send it email to the address below.

I just had my rotors on my '92 Taurus GL changed less than 500 miles
ago and...you guessed it, I'm noticing slight warpage in the left rotor.
:-( I had a mechanic friend of mine look at it and he said that there is a
high spot on the rotor that is causing the problem. This is a brand new
rotor bought from a Ford Dealership. Can't they even produce a brand new
rotor that is not warped? I'm currently negotiating with them to swap it
out for a new rotor.
This is my first American build car and I'm not overly impressed.

Drug Use and Policy in Japan
Is anyone out there knowledgeable on drug issues in Japan? I'm interested

dealt with it. I've heard, undocumented, that Japan years ago used heavy
legal penalties to end a serious heroin problem. I'd like to know both
sides of the story. Does anyone recall such a problem? What were laws
at the time relating to drug use, drug dealing, and drug trafficking? What
are the laws now? What other anti-drug measures, like education and treatment
has Japan used? How are drugs regarded by the Japanese people? How effective
have anti-drug measures been in Japan? Thanks for your help.

1. Please take this out of sci.space.
2. Ayn Rand was not only born in Russia, but educated there. A lot
of her philosophy reflects not only a European education but a
reaction against certian events in Russia while she lived there.
I've heard that to the extent there is a division of modern philosophy
between the "Continental" and British/American schools, Rand belongs in
the former in terms of methodology et al, even though she was trying to
say things that would belong in the latter school.
I.e. she was trapped in the language of Kant and Hegel, even though
she was trying to say (at times) much different things.

A lot of us out here in the hinderland will trust the Japanese
before we'll trust the NSA, the President, or those stupid
Fortune 50 companies you're so proud of.

And since the Japanese corps aren't part of our "government/governors"
they may be more trusted out htere than you are.
People are getting tired of this "be patriotic, do whatever we say
without question, and pay more taxes" attitude that comes from
America's political party...
or should that be caste?

My apologies. Your right. I wasn't following the thread. But I think
most women are tougher than that. I am suprised that someone would
insinuate that women are in some way so vunerable.

Re: BATF/FBI Murders Almost Everyone in Waco Today! 4/19

It's also what you say when you're waiting for the end to come in a
"fiery apocalypse"...just a thought.
Personally, if the fire was set (by either side), I wonder about the
timing. If Koresh & Co. set the fires, why wait through six hours of
wall-bashing and tear-gassing before starting; was there anything "new"
that happened just around that point? Similarly, if the FBI were going
to torch the place (and fake it, of course), why wait so long, wouldn't
it be more "reasonable" to believe the BD's would set the fire early
after the assault began?
The most plausible (to me) explaination is that of an accidental starting
of the fire by the tanks. Among other things, I say that because I
was listening to the radio when the fire started and the reporter
(watching from a distance, of course) said that it looked like at least
one of the tanks had penetrated farther into the building than previously.
Specifically, he said that one tank apparently was halfway (half of
the tank's lenght) into the building where it previously had only been
penetrating a few feet.

I aint talking the large or even the "mining companies" I am talking the small
miners, the people who have themselves and a few employees (if at all).The
people who go out every year and set up thier sluice box, and such and do
mining the semi-old fashion way.. (okay they use modern methods toa point).
I am talking the guy who coem to Nome evry year, sets up his tent on the beach
(the beach was washed away last year) and sets up his/her sluice box and goes
at it "mining".
I know the large corps, such as Alaska Gold Company, might complain to..
My opinions are what I learn at the local BS table..
My original thing/idea was that the way to get space mining was to allow the
eco-freaks thier way.. As they have done with other mineral development.
You can't in many places can't go to the bathroom in the woods without some
form of regulation covering it..

Peter, I think you are ridiculous here. Stupidity is not a measure of how

I know there were some other people ripped off by this guy. Has there been

No. I see many of the same groups protesting both. I also know people
who feel exactly the opposite (i.e., treat citizens better than Saddam).

KS, I see you're wanting Malcolm's response. Allow me one last inter-
jection then please:
Distinguishing among the religious Jews, you've excepted the Messianic
for obvious reasons. Specifically, are you saying it's these religious
Jews, who trace their lineage back to Abraham by blood and orthodoxy,
rather than by faith, who won't agree? Orthodox Jews?
As to the a/a (if I understand your direction), the issue remains
unproven I suspect, considering how atheists and agnostics so often
look to reason. Atheist, it is reasonable to conclude will not agree.
For agnostics, a poll seems in order. Who knows? Myself, I'm not so
sure the atheists can be counted out.
For the orthodox, I wonder how many would follow Moses, or Abraham,
or David in accepting God's Word? Is the particular covenant to which
one adheres, more important than God promisimg? I reckon for many it
depends on the ongoing dialogue. Under these considerations, you might
understand why I think it's premature to assert who will and won't agree.

This is a very good point. I have already made the clear claim that
Khomeini advocates views which are in contradition with the Qur'an
and have given my arguments for this. This is something that can be
checked by anyone sufficiently interested. Khomeini, being dead,
really can't respond, but another poster who supports Khomeini has
responded with what is clearly obfuscationist sophistry. This should
be quite clear to atheists as they are less susceptible to religionist
modes of obfuscationism.
So, to answer your question, the only way you can judge is by learning
more about Islam, that is by reading the Qur'an and understanding it's
basic principles. Once one has done this it is relatively easy to see
who is following the principles of Islam and who is acting in a way at
odds with Islam. Khomeini by attributing a superhuman status to twelve
muslim historical leaders is at variance with one of basic principles
of Islam, which is that no human being is metaphysically different than
any other human being and in no sense any closer to God in metaphysical
nature.
