This is the official Request for Discussion (RFD) for the creation of two
new newsgroups for Microsoft Windows NT. This is a second RFD, replacing
the one originally posted in January '93 (and never taken to a vote). The
proposed groups are described below:
NAME: comp.os.ms-windows.nt.setup
STATUS: Unmoderated.
PURPOSE: Discussions about setting up and installing Windows NT, and about
system and peripheral compatability issues for Windows NT.
NAME: comp.os.ms-windows.nt.misc
STATUS: Unmoderated.
PURPOSE: Miscellaneous non-programming discussions about using Windows NT,
including issues such as security, networking features, console
mode and Windows 3.1 (Win16) compatability.
RATIONALE:
Microsoft NT is the newest member of the Microsoft Windows family
of operating systems (or operating environments for those who wish
to argue about the meaning of an "OS"). The family ranges from
Modular Windows through Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups to
Windows NT at the high end. To date, Microsoft has shipped over
50,000 beta copies and pre-release SDKs of Windows NT -- the
actual release is slated for May/June '93.
While Windows NT has an entirely new design internally, it shares
an application programming interface with the other members of the
Windows family; its Win32 API includes the Win16 API used in Win-
dows 3.1, and the Win32s API subset (Win32 less threads, networking
and security) can be used to create 32-bit applications for
Windows 3.1.
The user interface is also practically identical to that of Windows
3.1, with the addition of logins and a few other features. It uses
Program Manager, File Manager and other applets, and generally pre-
sents an identical appearance to the user. Many of the announced
Windows NT applications are ports of existing Windows 3.1 apps, and
NT also runs existing 3.1 applications.
Thus, it appears logical that Windows NT should share the following
groups with the other members of the Windows family:
comp.os.ms-windows.apps
comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.tools
comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.misc
comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32
The following groups are also clearly applicable to Windows NT as
well as Windows 3.1:
comp.os.ms-windows.announce
comp.os.ms-windows.advocacy
In conclusion, the only clear argument for the separation of the
Windows 3.1 and Windows NT hierarchies is different internal
structures of Windows 3.1 and Windows NT. And yet operating
systems such as OS/2, Macintosh OS, Xenix and Coherent all have
undergone major rewrites without having been split into separate
newsgroup hierarchies.
Further, Windows 3.1 is due for a major rewrite itself in 1994 --
when the fully 32-bit, protected-mode and with-DOS-built-in next-
generation Windows, "Chicago", debuts next year, surely it should
remain in the same hierarchy. And what, then, would be the jus-
tification for separating Windows NT from other Windows versions?
DISCUSSION PERIOD:
The discussion period will run from 27 April, 1992 to 18 May, 1993.
VOTING:
The CFV (Call for Votes) will be issued around 19 May, 1993, based on
the feedback received during the discussion period. No votes will
be accepted prior to the CFV.

We are doing a research about a passive dynamic vision guided
vehicle.
Completed the first theoric part, we have to make the effective
realization of this vehicle.
We need the necessary hardware for image acquisition from a videocamera
and for their subsequent elaboration (tipically: edge detection).
We ask for informations about available products in the market for
this purpose (in real time, 20-25 frames/second).
Hence we need frame-grabber cards and/or DSP cards for SUN or PC platform.
We are also very interested in receiving comments and suggestions from users
of these cards, especially about programming tools.
Furthermore we are looking for the same kind of informations about
digital controlled Pan&Tilt devices.
Thanks in advance
Best regards

RELEVANT SECTIONS OF THE DOCUMENT OF THE
COPENHAGEN MEETING REFERENCED ABOVE:
"(The participating States) recognize that pluralistic
democracy and the rule of law are essential for ensuring
respect for all human rights and fundamental freedoms. . .
They therefore welcome the commitment expressed by all
participating States to the ideals of democracy and political
pluralism. . . The participating States express their conviction
that full respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms
and the development of societies based on pluralistic
democracy. . . are prerequisites for progress in setting up the
lasting order of peace, security, justice, and co-operation. . .
They therefore reaffirm their commitment to implement fully
all provisions of the Final Act and of the other CSCE
documents relating to the human dimension. . . In order to
strengthen respect for, and enjoyment of, human rights and
fundamental freedoms, to develop human contacts and to
resolve issues of a related humanitarian character, the
participating States agree on the following. . .
"(2). . . They consider that the rule of law does not mean
merely a formal legality which assures regularity and
consistency in the achievement and enforcement of
democratic order, but justice based on the recognition and
full acceptance of the supreme value of the human
personality and guaranteed by institutions providing a
framework for its fullest expression."
"(3) They reaffirm that democracy is an inherent element of
the rule of law. They recognize the importance of pluralism
with regard to political organizations."
"(4) They confirm that they will respect each other's right
freely to choose and develop, in accordance with
international human rights standards, their political, social,
economic and cultural systems. In exercising this right, they
will ensure that their laws, regulations, practices, and policies
conform with their obligations under international law and
are brought into harmony with the provisions of the
Declaration on Principles and other CSCE commitments."
"(5) They solemnly declare that among those elements of
justice which are essential to the full expression of the
inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all
human beings are the following. . ."
". . . (5.4) -- a clear separation between the State and political
parties; in particular, political parties will not be merged with
the state. . ."
". . . (7) To ensure that the will of the people serves as
the basis of the authority of government, the participating
states will. . ."
"(7.4) -- ensure . . . that (votes) are counted and reported
honestly with the official results made public;"
"(7.5) -- respect the right of citizens to seek political or public

I think the main reason is that in the good old hacker days of the young(er)
Gates' and Jobs' of the world, the computer was not as widespread a
phenomenom as it is now. With the increased popularity of the PC
come a plethora of mundane business uses which required more practical
minded and narrower-focused programmers.
Why be a hacker when you can get a good job programming databases or
programs for accountants? Basically, the yuppies caught up and
disciplined the hackers, and molded them in their own image.

You're closer than you might imagine. I certainly despised living
under the Soviet regime when it purported to organize society according
to what they fondly imagined to be the "objective" conclusions of
Marxist dialectic.
But I don't hate Physics so long as some clown doesn't start trying
to control my life on the assumption that we are all interchangeable
atoms, rather than individual human beings.

As someone who reads Israeli newpapaers every day, I can state
with absolute certainty, that anybody who relies on western media
to get a picture of what is happening in Israel is not getting an
accurate picture. There is tremendous bias in those stories that
do get reported. And the stories that NEVER get mentioned create
a completely false picture of the mideast.

Ford tried that also, back in 1983. My 1983 Ranger Pickup had the horn at
the end of the turn-signal stalk, instead of in the center of the wheel where
God intended it to be. :-) I drove two different cars then (the other an
1984 Camry), and never did get used to pushing the turn-signal stalk to
blow the horn. The only time I got it right was when I was getting the
annual state-required safety inspection!
Not one of Ford's better ideas.

The green layer is a solder-mask, and is used to make a finished board
look neat, and to avoid solder bridges, especially when using wave
soldering (or any other mechanized approach). I've seen red mask,
but most that I've seen are green.
A bakelite board will look brown in colour, and, if the solder mask
is put on, looks like a brown board with green 'paint' on either side
(or just one side) of the board.
A fibreglass board will look green from the side, because the green
solder-mask makes the board appear that colour. If you got a fibreglass
board with no mask, it would be a whitish-grey colour.
Teflon boards do exist, as well... but I'm not sure about that one.
I'd guess the stuff they invented for solder mask was green, so they're
not about to change. Also, any change in any chemical probably requires
a better than normal cleaning of the machines that make boards. A lot
of companies do not make their own boards... they ship them to a real
boardhouse.

>Protestants love to play up Jerome for all he is worth.
Yes, but no more than he is worth. :-). Seriously: Jerome is merely
(and grandly) another Christian witness, to be taken for what he can
tell us. He is one in the community of saints. You seem to wish for
a greater polarization and dichotomy between Catholic and Protestant
thought than seems to me, from a historical perspective, to be valid.
To be sure, Rome rejects (some significant aspects of) Protestant
thought just as vehemently as Protestants reject (some significant
aspects of) Roman thought. Other than some peoplw who apparently try
to embody the greatest extreme of this rejection, on either side, there
is not quite so vast a gulf fixed as casual observers seem to assume.
Ecumenical consultations between Rome and the Lutherans, as well as
those between Rome and the Anglican communion (to which I belong) show
very nearly complete convergence on understanding the basic theological
issues -- the sticking points tend to be ecclesiology and church polity.
Thus, for example, as you go on to say:
> They should
>remeber that after the Decree of Pope St. Damsus I,
Many of us do not regard a papal decretal as having any necessary (as
opposed to political) significance. Sometimes it will, sometimes it
won't. You misread me if you think that my communion, at least, "throws
out" the deuterocanonical books. Nor do I think you should overstress
the sense in which the more Reformed may do so.
>Again, why must the Church of Jesus Christ adopt the canon of the
>unbelieving Jews, drawn up in Jamnia in 90 AD, in countering the
>Christian use of the Septuagint. ^^^^^
I seriously suggest you rethink what you are saying here. It verges on,
and could be taken as, anti-Semitic in the worst sense. The "unbelieving"
Jews were, according to what I understand as a Christian, the chosen
people of God, and the recipients of His pre-Incarnational revelation.
I think they have some say in the matter. The Javneh meeting should not
be over-interpreted. A recent magisterial study titled _Mikra_ (I don't
have more citation information on hand, sorry) produced primarily from
the background of Christian (rather than specifically Jewish) scholarship
suggests strongly that the Javneh meeting mostly resolved a lingering
question, where in practice the canon had long been fixed on the basis
of the scrolls that were kept in the Temple, and thereby "made the hands
unclean" when used. The list of "sacred books" that may be drawn up from
Josephus and other pre-Yavneh sources correspond (plus or minus one book,
if I rememeber the chapter correctly) to the current Jewish canon of Tanakh.
All of this is not to "throw out" the deuterocanonicals (what, by the way,
is YOUR position about the books the Greeks accept and Rome does not? :-))
-- just to observe that the issue is complex and simply binary judgment
does not do it justice.

SOmebody mentioned a re-boost of HST during this mission, meaning
that Weight is a very tight margin on this mission.
How will said re-boost be done?
Grapple, HST, stow it in Cargo bay, do OMS burn to high altitude,
unstow HST, repair gyros, costar install, fix solar arrays,
then return to earth?
My guess is why bother with usingthe shuttle to reboost?
why not grapple, do all said fixes, bolt a small liquid fueled
thruster module to HST, then let it make the re-boost. it has to be
cheaper on mass then usingthe shuttle as a tug. that way, now that
they are going to need at least 5 spacewalks, then they can carry
an EDO pallet, and sit on station and even maybe do the solar array
tilt motor fix.

Oh, probably.
Ms. Nichols has given the average game times (and average runs scored) for
1983 and 1992. (A very nice piece of information, Ms. Nichols. Who knows?
She may be listening, and not have me in her kill file after all.) Those
numbers indicate somewhere in the neighborhood of half-a-run *less* being
scored per game, and the games taking 15 minutes *longer*. Something is
being done now that wasn't done ten years ago, which is extending the games
by 15 minutes. Ms. Nichols thinks it's more pitches. Given the increasing
specialization of pitchers, it wouldn't surprise me.
If it's not simply more pitches, though, I don't think it's unreasonable
to think that something can be done to get ten of those minutes back. Then
I get a couple more from shortening the warmup time for a relief pitcher
after he comes in, and a couple more still from enforcing existing rules,
which have been stated in other posts in this thread (and other related ones).
The problem is, who decides whether that time is "wasted?" You don't seem
to think it is at all. Right now, I think it is, although I have heard one
case favoring giving the reliever all the warmups he thinks he needs (the
difference in mounds between the field and pen) -- but who knows? If the
rules get changed, maybe something I didn't foresee will happen to change my
mind. But you can bet a lot of minds would fail to foresee the same thing,
or else nothing will be changed.

The short answer seems to be: "I don't".
The particular package (wscrawl) seems to reset *all* its defaults
if *any* of them are missing from the .Xdefaults file. Once I added
the missing ones to the .Xdefaults file, the problem goes away.

I have a 386 clone, and an internal modem set to COM4.
It worked fine until I upgraded to DOS 6.0 and at the
same time reloaded Windows 3.1 Now the system can't
find COM4; MSD says COM4 is "N/A", and three of my
four comm programs say "hardware not present" or some
similar error message. Procomm, however, finds the modem
no problem and works fine! Curiouser and curiouser. Any
hints/help? Thanks.

Hi,
I have been told by a local sales that Asante has come out with this
LCIII PDS Ethernet adapter with an optional 68882 socket on the board.
My question is will the FPU performance degrade will I put the 68882
on the PDS card socket instead of on the motherboard itself? Intuitively,
the math co-processor should always be placed close to the CPU, but
I am not sure how good Apple's so-called processor-direct slot is when
it comes to throughout. Does anyone know the answer to this or have
any experience with the Asante LCIII Ethernet adapter? Thanks in advance.

That's right. Humans have gone somewhat beyond this though. Perhaps
our goal is one of self-actualization.

Now you are letting an omniscient being give information to me. This

Which type of morality are you talking about? In a natural sense, it
is not at all immoral to harm another species (as long as it doesn't
adversely affect your own, I guess).

Without any explanation about your opinions and believes,

Koresh?

Here is the story:
I have a network with 4 Macs on Localtalk. One of them has an
Ethernet Card, and is currently connected to a NeXT (don't laugh
I got it for the price of a Mac IIsi). The NeXT is connected
to the internet over SLIP running on a 9600 baud modem.
Currently, we can telnet from the Mac w/ Ethernet to the NeXT,
and then telnet out again to the rest of the world.
What we want to know is if there is some sort of hardware that
will route telnet sessions from the Localtalk Macs to the NeXT
via the Ethernet Mac. From what we have heard, AIR doesn't do
the trick.
Software solutions would be good too, but my impression is that
there aren't going to be any.
Our immediate interest is to be able to get to the NeXT and telnet
out again. The SLIP connection doesn't allow us to assign IP numbers
to machines, so everyone shares that 1 number...oh well...
thanks in advance.

The most recent reason given by the Clinton Administration for
calling for federally funded abortions is that many private
health insurance programs offer coverage for abortion.
The following are two form letters regarding this. Please send
them around to friends as well as other BBSs
dennis
dzkriz@ocf.berkeley.edu
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To private insurers:
RE: Abortion and my health insurance coverage
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I recently have become aware that my health insurance includes
coverage for abortion. I strongly oppose abortion for reasons of
conscience. It disturbs me deeply to know that my premiums may
be being used to pay for that which I sincerely believe is
murder. I would like to request that I be exempted from abortion
coverage with my health premiums reduced accordingly.
Sincerely,
My policy number is:
----------------------------------------------------------------
To your state and national representatives:
RE: Abortion and health coverage
Dear
It has recently come to my attention as a result of the current
abortion debate that my health insurance coverage provided by my
employer may include coverage paying for abortions.
I strongly oppose abortion for reasons of conscience and am
disturbed greatly that my coverage may be being used in this
manner. However, I depend on my employers' provided health
coverage, and fear that if I speak up about it, that I may lose
not only my coverage but even my job.
I would like to ask you to put into law the provision that health
insurance providers make abortion coverage non-compulsory in
their health insurance program, so that it can be declined, with
an appropriate reduction in premium.
In order that there be no difference in the dollar ammount in the
health benefit packages between those who would choose to have
abortion coverage and those who would not, I further ask that you
include a provision in which the reduction in premium resulting
from the declining of "abortion coverage" be paid-out to the
employee, rather than pocketed by the employer.
This second provision should serve to dissuade employers from
pressuring employees into taking one or the other stand with
regard to abortion services. Thank you very much. Your fellow
citizen.
Sincerely,

I don't accept atoms or gravity as fact either. They are extremely useful
mathematical models to describe physical observations we can make.
Other posters have aptly explained the atomic model. Gravity, too, is
very much a theory; no gravity waves have even been detected, but we
have a very useful model that describes much of the behavior on
objects by this thing we _call_ gravity. Gravity, however, is _not_
a fact. It is a theoretical model used to talk about how objects
behave in our physical environment. Newton thought gravity was a
simple vector force; Einstein a wave. Both are very useful models that
have no religious overtones or requirements of faith, unless of course you
want to demand that it is a factual physical entity described exactly
the way the theory now formulated talks about it. That takes a great
leap of faith, which, of course, is what religion takes. Evolution
is no different.

I have numerous 7000 series scopes which are surplus to requirements.
These devices range from fully functional to having a fault which
remained unrepaired since they weren't needed any longer.
My query is: is there anybody in Australia interested in buying them?
I think the shipping costs would make it impractical to send them O/S.
(Certainly the mainframes, but if you're willing to pay shipping, I'll
consider offers for individual plug-ins).
For those who are in the know (anywhere in the world), what are these
bits worth second hand in your area?
I have:
11 7603 Mainframes
4 7A15 Vertical Amp
18 7A15A Vertical Amp
1 7A16 Vertical Amp
10 7A22 Differential Amp (10uV / Div, 1 MHz, 100,000:1 CMRR)
6 7B50 Timebase
8 7B50A Timebase
1 7B51 Timebase
in addition, I have the following, which have been smoke damaged in a fire
and, although washed, are probably a little more prone to failure than
the others:
2 7603 Mainframes
5 7403N Mainframes
5 7A15 Vertical Amp
2 7A15A Vertical Amp
5 7B50 Timebase
Overall, I suspect that the 7A22's are worth as much as all the rest
put together. All bar one of these are operational - that one failed
and has never been repaired because it was no longer needed.
The 7A22 has an on-board voltage offset as well as switchable high-
and low- pass filters. There is _nothing_ on the market, to my
knowledge, that comes close to the specs of this plug-in.
All of the above have service manuals.

I've got the official word on the LaserWriter Pro 600 memory
upgrade.
I just got off of the phone with the quite friendly Donna Rossi
at Apple Customer Assistance. She tells me that those who
purchased the LaserWriter Pro 600 in a 4 megabyte (300dpi, no
greyscale) configuration should contact their original dealers
who are supposed provide the 4-meg memory upgrade. For those
who don't know, the extra 4-meg will allow printing at 600dpi
or greyscale (at 300dpi).
If the dealers have questions, they should be directed to their
hardware support numbers and/or Apple Customer Assistance
1-800-776-2333, 408-996-1010 (corporate number).
Regards,
Glenn
P.S. - personally, I'm annoyed at our school bookstore. They
really have an obligation to provide this information to all
of the customers who purchased the 600 in the original
configuration (they have the records...that's why they ask for
things like a phone number). When I get my upgrade completed,
I'm going to write Apple and complain.

Who gave you the authority to create and enforce this rather

For the last couple of years, the Braves have been fostering a program to reach to the Latin American audience. This has included licensing Spanish fan magazines, encouraging Spanish co-broadcasts, and marketing programs directed at the Latin American community. One of the biggest heros to the Latin American audience has been Francisco Cabrerra (a fact of which he was slightly embarrassed!).
One funny story is that during Spring Training, the Braves played a game in Mexico. This game was broadcast back to Atlanta in Spanish. It took the broadcasters a few innings to get a rythm going because they had to keep changing their location. Seems it took a while to find a place where they could get a clear signal on their cellular phones through which they were calling the game!

When the utility gave up on that Cinnci, OH plant (Zimmer?) and
announced they were going to convert it to a coal-fired scheme, the
turbines were already in place, and they were the low-temp type. So the
plan was: Install a SECOND set of high temp turbines, and feed the
low-temp ones with the output of the new ones.
Never saw anything more on this. Did they ever really build it?

Julie, it is a really trying situation that you have described. My
brother was living with someone like that and things were almost as bad
(although he left after a considerably shorter amount of time due to
other problems with the relationship). Anyway, the best thing to do
would be to get everyone in the same room together (optimally in a room
with nothing breakable), lock the door behind you, throw the key out
underneath the door (just as far as the longest hand can reach. You
would like to get out after the conclusion, I would imagine), and hash
things out. More than likely, there will be screaming, crying, and
possibly hitting (unless of course someone decided to bring some rope to
tie people down). Some of the best strategies in keeping things calmer
would include:
have each individual own their own statements (ie, I feel that this
relationship is hurting everyone involved because.... or I really don't
understand where you're coming from.)
reinforce statements by paraphrasing, etc. (ie, So you think that we
did this because of...? Well, let me just say that the reason for this
was ....)
don't accuse each other (It was your fault that ... happened!)
find a common ground about SOMETHING (Lampshades really are
decorational and functional at the same time.)
Guaranteed, in a situation like this, there is going to be some
gunnysacking (re-hashing topics which were assumed resolved, but were
truly not and someone feels someone else is to blame). However, this
should be kept to a minimum and simply ask for forgiveness or apologize
about each situation WITHOUT holding a smoldering grudge.
The relationship really can work. It's just a matter of keeping things
smooth and even. It's sort of like making a peace treaty between
warring factions: you can't give one side everything; there must be a
compromise. Breaks can be taken, but communication between everyone
involved must continue if the relationships here are to survive.

Sometimes. It depends on your monitor and your timing. If you don't
have enough vertical front porch and you use XOR composite sync you can
get even/odd tearing at the top of the screen, which is very sensitive
to the HHOLD control. It looks like what you would expect if you
scanned the even fields (say) onto a sheet of mylar and had pinched the
upper left corner with your fingers and started to tear it off the tube.
With proper composite sync (equalizing pulses) the interlace is rock
solid.

er, excuse me but since the escrow agencies aren't yet chosen, how can you
say they have a "history of untrustworthy behavoir[sic]"?
I'm sure each of us can think of agencies without such a history. Price
Waterhouse has kept the secret of the Academy Awards for many years, even in
the face of an aggressive press. The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee
has successfully kept decisions from leaking for the statutory period until
publication. Even the Department of Agriculture has successfully kept crop
forecasts from leaking prematurely.
Frankly, I'd trust the above (not the D of A, of course since they might be
subject to political pressure) far sooner than the ACLU, EFF, or CPSR which,
though not exactly government apologists, have no particular track record
for internal security that I know of.

Team Canada defeated Russia 3-1 to finish the priliminary
round unbeaten at 5-0. Scoring for the Canadians were Kevin Dineen of
the Flyers, Eric Lindros also of the Flyers and Paul Cariya of the
Maine Black Bears. Cariya has put on quite a show at the Worlds. He is
sure to be drafted in the top 3 this summer at the NHL entry draft.
Canada defeated Italy 11-2 and Austria 11-0 before meeting the
Russians on Sunday. The Canadians now face Finland in the Quarter -
finals on Tuesday.

Maybe I'm a little tired but I can't seem to follow the logic here. If
whatever is held true on earth is held true in heaven how is it that a priest
(RC only apparently) is required.
In fact if I read the next verse correctly (Matthew 18:19) I understand that
for a marriage to take place only two are required to agree on earth touching
one thing and it shall be done.

[Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any completely precise
statements about what is needed. (As usual, the current edition of
the Catholic Encyclopedia is frustratingly vague.) I do know that the
priest is viewed as a witness, and thus in some sense would not be
required. However part of the purpose of formal marriage is to avoid
any ambiguity about who has and has not taken on the commitment. The
community provides support to marriage, and in cases of problems are
involved in helping to make sure that the people carry out as much of
their commitment as possible. Thus marriage must be a public
commitment. The presence of a priest is required for a regular
marriage. Where I'm not clear is exactly where the boundaries are in
exceptional cases ("valid but irregular"). Ne Temere (1907) says that
no marriage involving a Catholic is valid without a priest (according
to the Oxford Dictionary of the Church), and they imply that the new
canon law retains this, but I'd rather see a more recent and
authoritative source. Note that while a Catholic priest is required
for Catholics, the Catholic church does recognize marriage between
baptized non-Catholics as valid without a priest. --clh]

Well, apparently once you get past about 6 inches, all the luggage shifts back in the panniers, the passenger slides back, and the dog ends up hanging onto the top rack,
and they go all the way over until it's flat on it's ass, with the front wheel

Yes, sadly, this is true. The primary reason, and the essence of the
details that you are seeking, is that the Grahm-Rudman budget controls
were working. In fact, they were working so well that unless the feds
did something, they were going to have to start cutting pork. So Bush
and the Democrats got together in a Budget Summit and replaced
Grahm-Rudman with the now historic Grand Compromise in which Bush
"consented" to raise taxes in exchange for certain caps on spending
increases.
As it turned out, the taxes killed the Reagan expansion and the caps
on spending increases were dispelled by Clinton in his first act as
President (so that he could create his own new plan with more tax
increases).
The result is that Clinton now HOPES to reduce the deficit to a level
ABOVE where it was when Reagan left office.
Chew on that awhile.

I'm writing an X server for some video-generation equipment. The
hardware is "truecolor" in YUV space; in X terms it has a 24-bit
static color visual. I would really like to have the server just
present this static visual, but I'm not sure if this will be
acceptable to "most" X clients. The three problems I see are:
1) The colormap, though huge, is static.
2) All pixels would be 3 bytes wide.
3) Because the hardware actually lives in YUV space, the
translation RGB->YUV will introduce some rounding error.
Being more of a server guy than a client guy, I ask: will these
limitations thwart many X clients? Or will most of the X stuff
floating around blithely accept what they're given? I could write
the server to also present a pseudocolor visual of, e.g., 8 bits,
but I'd rather avoid this if not necessary.
I know there are no absolutes, but I'd appreciate hearing people's
opinions and suggestions. Thanks!

I've been able to configure xterm so that I can type in accented characters.
I'm using X11R5, with iso8859 fonts, my shell is tcsh with the following
definitions :
setenv LC_CTYPE iso_8859_1
stty pass8
Then, I add the following in my .Xdefaults file:

This makes the Meta-{',`,^} keys behave as dead keys.
Of course, this only works for xterm. For emacs, my solution is to install the
Lucid version of GnuEmacs 19, and to load the x-compose library.
Hope this helps,

Hey,
collection. I am interested in buying any in good condition. I am
particularly interested in any of the older, exotic models (eg five ]
transformers into one etc... I am looking at paying around $20-$40 depending
upon the model, size and original cost etc. I will also pay airmail postage
and packing. I am also happy to buy any old sci-fi related toys eg robots,
rocketships, micronauts etc... There is only one catch. I live in New
Zealand so you have to be willing to post the items there. I hop that
someone can help me out.

Not only are they not objective, but they don't even stay constant
over time. A young farmer and an old farmer on the verge of
retirement have quite different ideas about the relative values of
a piece of land and a dollar bill.
Similarly, a person viewing an anonymous piece of land, and a
person viewing a piece of land that his family has lived on for
generations.
These values are essentially subjective, and that's why we have
markets: to allow people to match their valuations of land and
dollar bills.

[A] David --
[A] We can go throwing flames at each other -
[A] nothing is easier. Why do not you just try to
[A] see the situation from a different prospective?
Not taking sides leaves one in a state of perpetual indecision because both
sides in this issue have their own logic at any given time. As an Armenian I
am partisan -- by definition. However, this does give me the license to lie,
cover-up, or revise events under question as we have read on UseNet in postings
by agents of the Turkish government. I understand both sides of the issue, but
this does not mean I will advocate both sides when it suits me. Such a
position would make me a hypocrite. I am also not being paid by agents of
Turkey nor Azerbaijan as are many proponents of the Azeri side. I refer to
agents such as Captioline International Group, Ltd., being paid in excess of
$30,000/month by Azerbaijan. I state my case unencumbered by such advocacy or
prostitution.
[A] You do not have to change your mind for that -
[A] just (as if you are playing chess) ask yourself -
[A] what if?
[A] What if your tone is so offensive that one type of
[A] people loose control and start to erratically insult
[A] you, and others emotionally detach themselves from
[A] you writings and are not engaging in the discussion
[A] with you?
My tone is not offensive. If people are offended by what I say than I just
may be too bad. This conflict, as is human conflict in general, is rather
bleak and is surrounded by the most barbaric actions of man. Given such
conditions, dispassion is rather difficult, and artificial at best. This does
not mean that discussion is out of the question. No conflict is ever resolved
without discussion.
[A] I'll try first. Recently I received a message from
[A] a Russian guy who frequently visited Baku that
[A] approximately after 1986 the old situation when
[A] there were no anti-Armenian press had changed and
[A] the press became very anti-Armenian and average
[A] Azeri became an Armenian-hater. This is devastation
[A] news for me because one of my cornerstones was the fact
[A] that I MYSELF SAW ARMENIANS IN BAKU AMONG OTHER ETHNIC
[A] GROUPS AND SAW, OR HEARD, OR READ NOTHING THAT WOULD
[A] SEEM LIKE HATRED. You might say that an outsider never
[A] sees, but by that time I was myself victimized as a member
[A] of a minority by Russians and knew what to look for and
[A] what innocent sign or remark might signify.
I am sure. The Soviet Union effectively froze in time all ethnic problems it
created or was brewing just after WWI. During the Soviet reign, officials
tended to shape the frozen conflicts in such a way so when thawed, they
would serve the purposes of the internal policies of the Soviet Union or
successor states.
[A] Again - one of my cornerstones show cracks. I will investigate.
[A] Another cornerstone of my thought is that Armenia started
[A] hostilities against Azeris in Armenia before anything happened
[A] in Sumgait (not at all I am trying to justify violence in Sumgait
[A] or anywhere else - I bow my head with grief and respect and
[A] did demand and will laways demand that criminals be severely
[A] punished according to the law of the land.
[A] I would like you to supply me with the information about that.
[A] Does or does not the hostilities began in Armenia? Was thousands
[A] od Azeris thrown out of their homes and forced to leave Armeina
[A] before Sumgait or not?
Sumgait took place in February of 1988. The Azeris of Armenia were expelled
in the late fall of 1988. It took the entire summer of 1988 for the
situation to get so bad for Azeris in Armenian that the Russians had to
evacuate them. I refer specifically to _Human Rights Violations in Armenia
and Azerbaijan_, A report of Pax Christi Netherlands 12 September 1991. Also,
one need only read the newspaper to verify this.
You do realize, perhaps unknowingly -- perhaps not -- you are mirroring
Turkish propaganda and lies regarding what took place when and where first!
[A] Second - in your last message you used a very terrifying
[A] phrase - "Artificial borders" when you were talking about
[A] Armenian. Do you believe that Armenia have righteous territorial
[A] claims? Do you believe that Armenia has rights to the lands that
[A] currently belong to other countries?
[A] Do you believe that this is stricktly Armenian priviledge or
[A] everybody should start reclaiming what once was theirs?
I had addressed this issue several time before -- perhaps I was not clear. The
current borders of Armenia were not set as a result of the consolidation of
a high Armenian culture. Today's Armenia is about 1/10 the land mass that
sustained Armenians for nearly three millennia. It was the natural Armenian
boundaries that sustained Armenians -- not the current boundaries. The current
borders of Armenia would never support a society nor sustain its growth. Does
this mean that Armenia should expand? It might, if Armenia is not allowed to
integrate into the region. If this past winter is any indication of the future
status of Armenia, then Armenia must do what it will to survive.
Unfortunately, in my opinion, and you can quote me on this, as I am sure you
and others will, the combined forces of both Armenia and Karabakh should have
taken Karabakh and the land in between in a matter of weeks in late 1991. This
would avoided all the pain and suffering both sides endured and would remove a
tool of Russian influence in the Caucasus. You may call me a war-monger -- so
be it. If Armenians don't defend their right to live on the land they live on,
those rights will be taken away. The Azeris should not have the right to
remove these Armenians, but given the first chance to, they will, as was
proven throughout all of Azerbaijan. If the Soviet Union didn't break apart,
today Karabakh would be emptied of Armenians. Operation Ring, started in early
1991 emptied the northern 1/3 of Karabakh of Armenians, but the operation was
suspended by the disillusionment of the Soviet Union. Lucky for the Armenians!
If the Azeris feel as though they can expel all the Armenians of Karabakh, the
Armenians will resist, if the Armenians can't live under Azeri oppression,
then they will fight for the right to live their lives free from such
oppression. If this means these Armenian demand independence, I support such a
move. If you can't understand this, as an Azeri, that is truly unfortunate.
Until this is understood by the Gray Wolves in Baku, more young Azeri men will
die in the pursuit of the expulsion and ethnic cleansing of Karabakh
Armenians.
[A] Third thing - you keep saying about 3000 years of Armenian presence
[A] in Karabakh. What exactly you mean by that? That there were Armenians
[A] 3000 years ago in Karabah? Only Armenians? Or among other nations?
[A] I saw (SAW) a Russian tax map of Karabah with all the landowners and
[A] occupant names on it (the map was surveyed by Russian Army in 1810.
[A] Would you believe that there were almost exclusivly Achmeds and Hu-
[A] sseins? I also saw Armenian names, but the absolute majority of the
[A] population was Muslim. If I am wrong - give me your sources, but
[A] please, let us keep the rule that we only pay attention to third
[A] party sources.
[A] There are Russian diplomatic documents about the mission of the
[A] Russian famous writer and diplomat Griboedov whose mission in Iran
[A] was protection of Armenians that were persecuted by Persians and
[A] RELOCATION these Armenians inside Russian Empire. According to
[A] the Russian tax documents that was the time when the population of
[A] Karabakh became predominantly (in some places) Armenian.
Karabakh, or Artsakh as it is known in Armenian (and Urartian) is the only
piece of Armenia that has a continuous Armenian occupation, from the
transformation of the Urartians to Armenians, nearly 3,000 years ago. You
refer to Russian and Muslim rulers over Karabakh, not the population! You
surely must know the rules of Muslim landownership over non-Muslims.
[A] You write in your letter that "Azeris were shelling Stepanakert which
[A] now is almost completely destroyed" David - is it fair to say that
[A] Stepanakert was destroyed by Azeris? There is that fine line between
[A] propaganda and personal view, however bizzarre that view is - YOU KNOW
[A] AS WELL AS ANYBODY WHO SAW TV IN THE TIMES OF THE EARTHQUAKE - that
[A] Stepanakert was almost completely devastated by the quake.
[A] But may be you believe that the damage from Azeri shelling is greater
[A] than the damage from the quake? OK, no problem, AS LONG AS YOU MENTION
[A] THE QUAKE.
As I wrote in a short response to you regarding this earlier. You may be
confusing Spitak with Stepanakert. There were no effects of the earthquake
in Karabakh.
[A] I want dialog. I am not interested in mud-throwing. And in dialog I want
[A] honest opinions (one might be wrong, but one MUST be honest). Honest
[A] opinions may be based on emotions but in this case one should indicate
[A] that. But mostly we are looking for information based opinions.
[A] I always ask myself - why I think that? Is it because I was told so
[A] bt so many people that it became a truth? Or I read a book? Who wrote
[A] it? What was his/her intentions/interests/whatever?
Fine. I stated my opinions and the reasons for them. If you put into action
what you just stated above, you would understand my outrage at the posting of
Farid who just posted items from some Islamic conference, etc., and just left
it at that. He has done his numerous times. At least I responded to that
posting, and was outraged that Farid simply copies other people`s text, posts
it -- yet does not display the courage be responsible for what he posts. One
can always stand behind the facade of claiming what I write is polemic,
however, as a result such irresponsibility I am free to make a claim of
cowardice.
[A] Please, give me sources, facts, titles of the books of third party
[A] writers, etc.
I believe I have, and can support what I claim. I don't make up history, nor
do I have to! I have done enough research regarding Turkish Genocide Apology
to revisionism from good scholarship, and I will never fall victim to
bottomless pit of making claims without a solid basis.
[A] And please, answer my questions in the beginning of the letter.
[A] And for you Armenian friends who do not like what I write -
[A] sorry, but these are my thoughts and it is very disturbing
[A] that you like people when they say what you like and dislike
[A] them when they say something that you do not like.
Alex, I stated my friends and associates where rather surprised as the tone of
your posting considering the fact that I had categorized you as an open-minded
Azeri. Perhaps I was fooled by you? Perhaps I should believe that you are like
"all Azeris when it comes to Armenians". I chose not to accept such a
statement. They were not surprised at what you said so much as it was coming
from you, somebody from which they expected otherwise. You see, you didn't add
anything to the issue, which was the expectation, only conforming old
suspicions.
[A] For me
[A] it is most inportant that a guy makes a honest effort to find
[A] the truth. If so, he/she might have whatever opinion he/she
[A] wants. I believe that telling people the truth, seeking it - is
[A] far more noble than just support your race because it is yours.
[A] That is a way of animals, primitive tribes and criminal societies.
[A] Civilized people seek truth.
[A] Cheers,
[A] Alex
If you think I am intellectually dishonest, please demonstrate it. As I stated
above, I am partisan on this issue, thus expect me to take a stand in the
interest of the Armenians, not against Armenians. This stance should not seem
strange to you. I am not here to generate excuses for Armenians wanting to
live on the land they live on, and wanting to live in peace. If Armenians must
die for what they believe in, and make ultimate sacrifice, you had better
listen to them. No amount of rhetoric -- not from Yerevan, Baku, the CSCE, nor
paid prostitutes in Washington -- will convince Karabakh Armenians otherwise!

This figure would not simply be deaths by bombing, but also death later

NOW! The point that I'll try to make is that coincidences like this occur
with a very high frequency. How many of us have been thinking of someone
and had that person call? Much of the whole psychic phenomenon is easily
explicable by this - one forgets the misses. Consider your astrological
forcast in the newspaper. How many times have you said "That's me" vs
"That's not me"? You'll remember the hits, but the misses will be much more
frequent.

And what if, instead if being healed, your affliction got much worse and
you ended up paralyzed? Would you have attributed that to god as well?
Or would that have been the work of satan? If you believe that would have
been so, why ONLY good from god, and ONLY evil from satan? Couldn't the

I am writing this to find out the following:
1.) Any information on surgery to prevent reflux esophagitis.
2.) The name(s) of a doctor(s) who specialize in such surgery.
3.) Information on reflux esophagitis which leads to cancer.
My boyfriend, age 34 and otherwise in good health, was diagnosed with
reflux esophagitis and a hiatal hernia about 2 years ago. At that time he
saw a gastroenterologist and has tried acid controllers (Mylanta,
Tagamet), as well as a restricted diet and raising the head of his bed.
These treatments were not effective and because the damage was
worsening, he opted for a surgical repair 3 months ago. He was told
there were two repair techniques that could fix the problem; a Nissen
wrap and a "Hill Repair". He opted for the "Hill Repair". He recovered
very well from the surgery itself but the pain he had originally is worse
and in addition he now has trouble swallowing (including saliva).
The doctor now wants to do an endoscopy and has also informed him
that a biopsy might be necessary if he has a pre-cancerous condition
which he called "Barrett's Syndrome". If he can't avoid having reflux will
he necessarily get cancer?
Basically, if anyone has any information on what he should do now, I'd
appreciate it.
Thanks,

From _Myths and Facts_, by Leonard J. Davis, Near East Research Inc.,
1989:
[pp. 108-109]
"Unlike the PLO's almost exclusive focus on civilian targets, the
100 troups from the Irgun and Stern group that struck at Deir Yassin
on April 10, 1948, targeted the village for its military importance.
Deir Yassin was on the road to Jerusalem, which the Arabs had
blockaded, and it housed Iraqi troups and Palestinian irregulars.
Snipers based in Deir Yassin were a constant threat to Jewish citizens
in Jerusalem.
"Arab civilians were killed at Deir Yassin, but that attack does
not conform to the propaganda picture that the Arabs have tried to
paint. The number of Arabs killed was generally reported to be about
250. In 1983, however, Eric Silver of _The Guardian_ (Britain)
interviewed a survivor, Mophammed Sammour, who testified that 116 out
of a population of 800-1000 were killed. 'About three days after the
massacre,' Sammour explained, 'representatives of each of the five
clans in Deir Yassin met at the Moslem offices in Jerusalem and made a
list of the people who had not been found (alive). We went through the
names. Nothing has happend since 1948 to make me think this figure
was wrong.'
"Unlike the PLO's deliberate attacks on civilians, the killing of
civilians at Deir Yassin was not premeditated. The attackers left open
an escape corridor from the village and more than 200 residents left
unharmed. After the remaining Arabs feigned surrender and then fired
on the Jewish troops, some of the attackers killed Arab soldiers and
civilians indiscriminately. Independent observers told _The Guardian_
that among the bodies they found Arab men disguised as women."

Peter wrote a bit of the Bible. What Peter says about God is what
the Bible says.
Consider the Bible a court recording. Over the period of thousands of
years, various people come up and testify of their experience with the
living God. Up comes Abraham the wealthy rancher. Up comes Moses,
once the high official of Egypt. Up comes Elijah, a priest. Up comes
David, a mere shepherd who became King. Up comes the pagan King
Nebuchanezzar. Up comes the pagan King of Persia, Cyrus. Up comes
Nehemiah, cupbearer to the King of Persia. Then Matthew, an IRS agent
takes the stand. Up comes Luke, an M.D. Then Paul a Jew who use
to kill Christians for fun. Up comes John, a 17 year old boy. Up
comes Peter, a fishermen. Up comes James, the brother of Jesus himself.
Up comes hundreds of others. You hear testimony from fishermen, IRS
agents, priests, Kings. The court hearing lasts thousands of years
with people coming up and testifying about the God who calls himself
"I am."
While you are listening to all this stuff, you realize that
King David could have never known John, Solomon could have never known
Matthew, Nehemiah could have never known Peter. You realize that all these
people are independent witnesses, and so, you rule out collaboration. Yet
all of the witnesses tell of the same God. Each testifier tells
of his own experiences with the living God. Each experience is
different, but each experience has enough cross-over to unmistakenly
reveal that each one of these people is talking about the very same God.
What Daniel did not know about God, the 3rd Highest Official of
Babylon, God revealed to John 600 years later--but with a different
perspective. No two testimonies are identical. Each testimony
dares to venture off what is already known. Yet each witness's
testimony, even though different from those prior, consistently
describes harmoniously fitting facets of the character of the same God.
Now. As we stare gazing at the computer, you got this seeming fanatic
on the other end of the net, saying, I know this God "I am". He has
revealed himself to me too. He also calls himself Jesus (John 8:58).
Please believe me. I am telling the truth. It is wonderful to know him.
Are you going to just pass off all this testimony as fictiousness?
Are you going to call three thousand years worth of testimony from
shepherds to IRS agents to royal officials to kings to computer
programmers, fiction? With a scoff of your keyboard, with near
complete ignorance of the testimonies, are you going to say that
that is all complete hooey? Would that not be the most audacious
display of arrogance? Do you actually think you know better than
King Solomon, King David, or even Abraham Lincolnr?

The problem with your nihilistic approach, Roger, is that it takes all the
sense out of the game. By your line of reasoning, if a guy hits into a
double play with one out and the bases loaded, there's no point in saying
that that was a bad thing to do (if his team won anyway) or speculating
on what might have happened if things had gone otherwise, so the double
play is merely an event that happened in the course of a game that was
eventually won or lost for unknown reasons. After all, any speculation
involves constructing a fantasy about what would have happened but didn't.
Roger, do you ever worry that the next pencil you drop will fall to the
ceiling instead? Or are you willing to consider empirical evidence?
Teams go to the post-season when they win more games than anybody else
in their division. If they don't make the post-season, they don't win the
Series. Will you agree that winning a division is a useful intermediate
goal in ring-collecting?
If so, you must agree that winning games is a useful intermediate goal
towards winning the division, and our disagreements come when we consider
how to win games.
In your viewpoint as expressed, winning games happens for reasons that
cannot be analyzed. While many of us are thinking things like "Base-
runners are good, outs are bad, and therefore walks are better than
double plays with the bases loaded", you are thinking things like
"It's a team game, so perhaps the double play will cause some mysterious
team dynamics that will cause the team to win today".
The result is that it becomes impossible to say *anything* about individual
players. Perhaps Atlanta would have won the Series with me playing left
field. After all, perhaps in some way my knowledge and personality would
have helped the team more than my complete lack of skill would have hurt
it. Therefore, I could be an extremely valuable player. Did Dave Winfield
have anything to do with the Jays' victory? Probably, but how do you know?
If you replace him with Andres Galarraga, perhaps the Jays would have won,
perhaps they would have lost, perhaps they would have defected to Alpha
Centauri (bearing in mind that the flying saucers would not have landed
in mid-season had Winfield been DHing for Toronto).
Was Babe Ruth a good player? He played on some WS-winning teams, but did
he have anything to do with their success?
It is generally accepted that Ernie Banks was a good baseball player, and
Jarvis Brown and Dan Schatzeder weren't. It seems to me that anybody who
would deny this needs to provide the proof.
Now, we have observed things about baseball over the years, both empirically
and by looking at the rulebook. It is necessary to score more runs than
one's opponent to win the game, so it would seem important to score runs
and to prevent one's opponent from scoring. Runs are scored while a team
is batting, and an inning ends after the third out, so it would seem that
making outs is bad while hitting home runs is good. Players have tendencies
to hit or pitch at certain levels, and these are usually somewhat consistent
from year to year.
We do use these statistics to predict winners, and so do you. To make
some flat predictions: Barry Bonds will have a higher OBP+SLG than
Gene Larkin this year. The Braves will finish ahead of the Rockies
in the standings. The Tigers will score more runs than the Royals, but
will also give up more. I would be astonished if any of these turned
out to be false, and, I suspect, so would you. As a matter of fact, I
am pretty sure I can predict all the division winners this year, given
3-4 guesses per division, and this is certainly better than random
chance (and almost statistically significant).
If you will admit that the Rockies and Mariners are unlikely to meet in
the World Series, you must admit that there is some sort of way to measure
likelihoods, however fuzzy.

So how about "real life"? Person A robs a service station with two people
in it, using a .38 automatic pistol, gets $42, and is convicted and sentenced
for three years. Person B, with a similar criminal record, robs a service
station with two people in it, using a .38 revolver, gets $42, and is
convicted. Since they used two different types of handgun, are comparisons
totally meaningless?
Say you drop a pencil to see if the gravity still works (my cats are always
testing this - they don't trust me to pay the gravity bill on time). You
have never dropped a pencil at that exact time of the century before, so
all previous evidence is meaningless? Or would you be surprised if it flew
out the window instead of hitting the desk?

I would guess that you either mean that you don't have a problem

It doesn't come "quite naturally" to nonbelievers such as myself

Try to run Xsun under truss(1).
The best way to do this is by logging in over the network
and typing:
truss -t open Xsun
open("/opt/X11R5/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.dir", O_RDONLY, 0666) = 8
open("/opt/X11R5/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias", O_RDONLY, 0666) = 8

open("/opt/X11R5/lib/X11/fonts/misc/cursor.pcf", O_RDONLY, 0666) = 8
This will give you and idea of where Xsun things the fonts should be.
If you have defined a project root and done a make install, everything
should have gone right by default, even without symbolic links.

You seem to make two points. No one ultimately oversees the federal agencies
you mention, and since Koresh "apparently" has a different view point from your
Baptist upbringing, then he is not worthy of protection from religious
persecution. As to being the Messiah, is not Christ within us all?
Must be comforting to belong to a government approved religion.
Baptists are a cult, two, BTW, under most of the definitions in the dictionary
of "cult".

| 16talk.politics.guns |
Just thought I would add $0.02 to DeskJet thread. I got my
first one in college about 5 or so years ago.
I've been a happy HP user of the DeskWriter for Macintosh for
past 5 years. I got one just a few months after their release. And I
got software revision 1.0a (now I'm up to rev. 3.1. Our family (sister
and father) have each purchased their own DW's after seeing mine go
for one year unscathed (their stuck to their trusty ImageWriter II's).
The original DW has gone for 5 years at moderate personal use. I would
say that it has gone through at least 15,000 sheets, and around one
(small) ink cartridge every 3 months or so.
My brother might take this DW now (I'm probably gonna give it
to him), and I am looking to upgrade to a color DW. The chief
advantages/disadvantages I've found over the years are:
Advantages: Quick (2-3 ppm), Quiet (roomate can sleep while it's
printing), AppleTalk Networkable (unfortunately the original wasn't,
so look out if you buy used. I rewired our home with phonenet
AppleTalk connectors, and while home, we can all use my dad's one
DW!), and cheap (now run ~$300). BTW, you can upgrade older DW's to
color or for appletalk, I dunno if HP still does the upgrades, but I
received many offers (I just didn't ned it however). Also, crisp
laser-quality output is a wonder (used to really impress those
ImageWriter Dot-Matrix people so much so, that I had to charge $0.25
per sheet to stop my college dorm neighbors from bothering me at all
hours of the night....)
Disadvantages. Ink used to be hard to find, and wasn't cheap, and
wasn't originally water-proof. While HP has done wonders with the ink
(I dunno if it's still toxic), it is still subjet to smearing and
running (if you run around in the damp Boston rain, and get your
bookbag completely soaked). Ink now runs about $14-$15 for small carts
(I get mine from Elek-Tek in Chicago, I think they're now down to
$12). The ink carts used to say they're dated for only 6 months, but
I don't think they say so anymore. We stick to a 4 month supply (of
about 3 carts). We use cheap Hammerhill Laser Print paper (after
fooling for a long time. Laser/Xerox paper is also good). Smearing
doesn't happen, unless you have a brand new ink cart and you grab the
paper and smudge it all over as soon as it comes out of the machine.
Other disadvantages are : No Postscript (this can be an advantage in
speed, usually). Ways around this are Ghostscript or Freedom of Press
software solutions. I bet HP probably has a PS prototype inkjet, but
they won't release it for fear of hurting LJ sales.
In the end, the primary advantages of laser are true postscript
(unless you go for cheap lasers), and fused toner (no smearing, even
when soaking in water). Lasers are slightly sharper, but the only
instance where I needed precise layouts was Printed Circuit Board
Transparencies for PhotoEtching. I found a Textronix color Phaser
Postscript (Thermal Wax Transfer) to work the best to make PCB
negatives directly onto a transparency.
Well, hope my babbling has helped.

I just put replaced the motherboard in a system and had similar questions.
My 2 cents worth:
The speaker connector should have two wires going to the speaker.
A speaker being a coil, it's bidirectional and makes no difference
which way you attach.
Turbo switch. There are three wires to control how you want turbo
to become active- with the switch pushed in or the switch out. I think
the middle wire is common. Use an ohm meter to figure out which wire
connects with the common wire when the switch is pushed in, and which two
wires are connected when the switch is out. Place the appropriate
two wires on the turbo berg connector of the motherboard.
LED's: (Turbo and HD) LED's are uni directional. Depending which
way the wires are attached the LED will not light. On my AMI motherboard,
if the turbo switch wires are not attached to the berg connector on the
board, the board will power up in default in Turbo mode. If your motherboard
is like that... just attace the LED wires to the board. If the LED doesn't
light, power off, reverse the connectors and try again. It should work.
If it does, then attach the turbo switch to the board.
Hope this helps.

I don't know for sure if Winchester made any commemeratives. If I
recall correctly, the rifle itself was a .44-40 Model 92 with an
oversized loop lever. I don't think Winchester makes this rifle
any more. Rossi make a Model 92 look-alike in .38 Special and
.357 Magnum.

Chris, solid job at discussing the inherent Nazism in Mr. Davidsson's post.

Do you mean a prog. that doesn't jump to the DOS display and then back or
create a temp. DOS window?
If yes then I might recommend WinZip from ftp.cica.indiana.edu. I'm afraid
I don't have the file name or version but you should be able to find it.
It's fully compatible with ver. 2.04g and very functional.

The Civic does still come in a 4 door model. My wife and I looked
quite seriously at the 626, Prizm (Corolla), and Civic, as well as
some other cars. Our impressions: all three seemed well built and had
the features we wanted - these are similar to the features you want
except for cruise control, and we want a manual transmission and are
considering anti-lock brakes. I also hate automatic seatbelts and we
both think having an airbag is a plus. In general, comfort and
performance were both significant.
Some specific +'s and -'s are listed below.
Mazda 626
+ very comfortable and roomy
+ can theoretically get ABS on DX model, though in practice this is
hard to find
+ base price for base model includes numerous little things like:
tach, variable speed wipers, rear defroster, 60/40 split folding rear seat
- more expensive than many other cars listed below
Honda Civic
+ DX gets significantly better mileage than other cars listed here
+ comfortable front seat
+ adjustable seat belt mounting
- no ABS without EX model (includes $1000's of other things like a sunroof)
Geo Prizm/Toyota Corolla
- seats not very comfortable to us (your mileage may vary)
+ adjustable seat belt mounting
+ can get ABS without lots of other extras
Saturn
+ SL2 was quite comfortable, though SL1 less so
- motorized attack belts
Dodge Spirit
no real outstanding +'s, but seemed generally ok
- rear seat does not fold down
Chevy Corsica
+ comes with ABS standard
- lower "would you buy that car again" and safety ratings in
Consumer Reports (than first 3 cars above)
- suspension didn't feel as stiff as the others (this would be a +
for some)
The Honda Accord and Toyota Camry were both more expensive than the
626, and in our minds, not significantly better.
We probably gave disproportionately low consideration to the "big 3",
due (a) to my wife's family's general dislike of Chrysler products,
(b) some unimpressive GM products owned by my parents and a housemate
of mine (c) the Taurus comes with automatic transmission, I find the
seat of the Tempo very uncomfortable, and the escort has attack belts
and no air bag.
We'll probably end up with a 626 - I saw a 626 DX with A/C and
cassette advertised for just under $12800 (Washington Post, April 14,
I think), and my local dealer says they can match that price. I will
probably get the 626 (maybe tomorrow). The main question in my mind
is whether or not I will have to do a "factory order" or "preference
order" to get one with ABS, and whether or not the dealership will
run the price up a lot if I do so.

and early in the film, around the '10-'20's, a name, Lois Chevrolet,

But what if the geologists are wrong and these people are warning of a
non-existent danger? Analogies can only push an argument so far (on both
sides). Both Melinda's and yours assume the premises used to set up your
respective analogies are true and thus the correct conclusion will arise.
The important point to note is the different directions both sides come from.
Christians believe they know the TRUTH and thus believe they have the right
(and duty) to tell the TRUTH to all.
Christians can get offended if others do not believe (what is self-evidently
to them) the TRUTH. Non-christians do not believe this is the TRUTH and get
offended at them because they (christians) claim to know the TRUTH.
(BTW this argument goes for anyone, I am not just bagging christians)
Neither side can be really reconciled unless one of the parties changes their
mind. As Melinda pointed out, there is no point in arguing along these lines
because both approach from a different premise. A more useful line of
discussion is WHY people believe in particular faiths.
Personally, I don't mind what anyone believes as long as they allow me mine
and we can all live peacefully.
