Hi All,
This is the first time I've posted to the net, so I hope this is
going to the right people.
I'm looking for software packages that run on an IBM PC clone that
allows me to display Openlook and motif windows on the PC.
The idea is to use the PC as a cheap X windows terminal for use by
process Engineers at work.
If anyone can E-Mail me any recommended packages/horror stories/etc
I would be greatful.
Thanks in advance

In the course of discussing the Sabbath with some folks,
I came across something that was completely new to me,
and I thought I'd offer it for comment.
To keep this as brief as possible, let me state my
observation as a declarative statement, and then whoever
wants to can comment on it. Basically, what I think
I've observed is that the phrase "the Ten Commandments",
as used by Moses, is not a reference to Ex. 20:1-17, but
rather a reference to ten distinct discourses from Ex.
20:1 through Ex. 31:18. That is, the phrase "the Ten
Commandments" should more accurately be translated "the
Ten Discourses", of which the passage we call the "Ten
Commandments" is really only the first.
I'm not completely convinced that the above is true, but
for purposes of discussion, let me argue it as though I
was sure.
Arguments supporting the above idea:
1) There aren't really ten commandments in Ex. 20:1-17.
In order to get 10 commandments, you have to get two of
them out of verses 3-6, and the verses themselves do not
support such a division because they are all about not
worshipping other gods. That is, verse 3 commands to
have no other gods, and verse 5 commands to not worship
the idols mentioned in verse 4. You can't violate
verses 5-6 without violating verse 3, indicating that
the whole passage is one command, and leaving us with
only Nine "Commandments". I could go on at length about
this, but for now I'll just stop with this summary.
2) There ARE ten speeches between Ex 20:1 (the beginning
of the traditional "Ten Commandments") and Ex 31:18
(where God actually gives Moses the two tablets with the
Ten Commandments/Discourses written on them). I break
these ten down as follows: 20:1-17; 20:22-26; 21:1-23:33;
25:1-30:10; 30:11-16; 30:17-21; 30:22-33; 30:34-38;
31:1-11; and 31:12-18. In most cases, each of these
passages begins with some variation of the phrase, "And
the LORD spoke to Moses, saying..." The exception is
Ex. 21:1, which begins "Now these are the ordinances
which you are to set before them..."
3) The word translated "commandments" in the phrase
"the Ten Commandments" isn't really the word for
"commandment", its the word for a speech, or an
utterance. It's a word often used for longer discourses
rather than individual statements; for instance, when
combined with the word 'yom' (day), this word is
translated "Chronicles" in such phrases as "now the rest
of the acts of so-and-so, are they not written in the
Chronicles of x?..." The word for "commandment" is
freely used throughout the books of Moses, and perhaps
it is significant that when Moses spoke of the Ten X's,
he appears to have avoided the word for commandment and
chosen instead a word associated with discourses longer
than just a single command.
4) God tells Moses that He is going to give him the
stone tablets "with the law and the commandments" (Ex
24:12), yet He does not give Moses the tablets until He
has finished all ten discourses on Mount Sinai. If the
Ten Commandments were only Ex. 20:1-17, it is not
immediately clear why God would wait several days and
nine more discourses before giving these tablets to
Moses. On the other hand, if we have the Ten Discourses
written on the tablets, then it makes perfect sense that
God would not give Moses the tablets until He had
finished delivering all Ten Discourses.
5) When Moses did get the tablets, he found that both
tablets were written on both sides (Ex. 32:15). If
these Ten "Commandments" were only the first 17 verses
of Ex. 20, God would have had to have written in LARGE
letters! Not that He couldn't have, of course, but it
does seem more likely to me that this is a reference to
two tablets containing ten discourses written in normal-
sized letters.
6) In II Cor. 3, Paul seems to specifically single out
the "commandments written on stone" as being the
"ministry of death", "that which is fading away," and
"the ministry of condemnation." With the possible
exception of the commandment about the Sabbath, it is
difficult to see why Paul would refer to the commands in
Ex. 20:1-17 as being temporary, "fading away"-type
commandments. This is less of a problem if the stone
tablets should happen to have included all of the
commandments from Ex 20 through Ex 31.
Arguments against this idea:
The main argument against this idea, aside from the fact
that it contradicts a long-standing tradition, is that
in Dt 5:22, Moses says, after quoting the commands in
Ex. 20:1-17, "These words the LORD spoke...and He added
no more. And He wrote them on two tablets of stone and
gave them to me." This appears to identify the words
just quoted as being the only contents of the two stone
tablets.
That was my first impression, anyway. However, after
some thought, I noted that a great deal hinges on how
you understand the phrase "These words." If Moses meant
"These words *which I have just related to you* were
spoken by God" etc., then that would mean that only the
traditional "Ten Commandments" were on the stone
tablets. If, however, Moses was making a parenthetical
comment--"These words *which I AM NOW telling you* were
spoken by God" etc.--then that's quite different.
I did note that in the Dt 5 account, Moses tells of
being given the stone tablets BEFORE telling of the
people asking Moses to represent them before God,
whereas in the Exodus account, the people asked this of
Moses between the first and second discourses, several
days BEFORE God gave Moses the stone tablets. This
reinforces the idea that Moses' remarks in Dt 5:22ff
were intended as a parenthetical remark, rather than a
strictly chronological account of when God wrote what,
and at what point He stopped adding to what was on the
tablets.
Summary: all things considered, I find it somewhat more
likely that the nine commands in Ex 20 are really only
the first of what Moses regarded as the Ten Discourses
of God. I don't know if anybody has ever espoused this
idea before; it's brand-new to me. So, while I lean
towards accepting it, I would be very interested in
hearing any comments and criticisms anyone may care to
offer.

Not boring is right!!! It is more likely to cause me to have a stroke!!
I had to listen to game two on the Blackhawk station and I don't think I
could take another call of "And JOSEPH makes a SPEcTACular saaaaaave".
Now I'm a Blues fan, but I don't want them to play "like" they played
in game two. Sure the result was fine, but the Blues match up very well
with the Hawks so they really don't need to treat them like the 86 Flames.
We don't need a "Monday Night Miracle" to have a chance to beat Chicago.
The Blues can do it on talent. At least over the hawks.

(This is a cross post to rec.gardens and sci.med. Set the follow-up
(line in the header, depending on what kind of advice you give, or
(e-mail directly to me: ceci@lysator.liu.se.)
I have a problem with wasps -- they seem to love me. Last summer I
couldn't spend more than ten to fifteen minutes at a time in my garden
before one or several wasps would come for me. I am asking for advice
on how to repel wasps.
This year the wasps have built their nest under a stone next to one
of my tiny ponds. The caretaker (poor fellow!) will have to take care
of them, and that will give me a head start on them. Last year we
couldn't find any nest. Even after the caretaker has gassed the nest
in my tiny garden of 30 square meter, other wasps will most likely vie
for the territory. Is there anything I can grow, rub on my skin or
spread on the soil that will repel the black and yellow bastards?
Never mind if it turns my skin purple or kills off all my beloved
plants, I want to be able to spend time in my garden like everyone
else.
Would it help to remove the ponds and the bird bath? The wasps seem
to come to drink at them, and I suppose that their prey will breed in
them. The black tits seem to be afraid of the wasps, because as soon
as the wasp season starts, they stop coming to have their bath.
Even when I am not trying to win back my patio from 15-20 wasps, they
seem to love me. The advice I usually get when I ask what to do about
wasps, is to stand still and not wave my arms. I've got some painful
stings when trying to follow that advice. I have also tried to use
hygienic products without perfumes, to no avail. They still love me,
and come for me, even when I'm in the middle of a crowd. So far only
two things seem to work: To kill it dead or to run into the house and
close all doors and windows.
NB: I don't have a problem with bees or bumble-bees, just wasps.
Patronizing advice redirected to /dev/null.

I have 2 OMTI 3527 SCSI adapters for sale. These make an ST-506 RLL drive
look like a SCSI disk drive. Each adapter will support two RLL drives. I
have used this model OMTI adapter with my Amiga A500 and a C-Ltd SCSI host
adapter without problems. I'm selling these because I got them about the
same time I decided to sell instead of expand my Amiga so I have never even
used them. I can't guarantee they will work with every SCSI host adapter.
They are essentially new in box. I paid $150/ea, make me an offer.

[ ..see previous article on this debate for the rests.. ]
I can see XV-3.00 agree with my view in cases you don't -- even I say
my personal opinion (as above), it doesn't mean that it is not most
obvious thing.
Please, if you use my previous writings as contradicting argument,
please do read them -- you have not saw them at all; you just
refered to text from which I wrote 'something' -- and you make
hard decisions from that, without reading what exactly I have written.
It is really hard read when one writes a reply line by line method
and don't understand include previously written material with the new
sentences to give them meaning. You seem to be one such.
You also start replying to my articles, even you don't understand what
is going on; you ask me repeatedly to decsribe my views what were
wrong with XV 2.21 even I posted them within the article you did reply
to. Believe me, it is not nice to get flamed specially when I know
that you have not read my article carefully in the first place.
XV-3.00 and JPEG FAQ and users I have written to agree me with the
places you didn't; I'm sure you just didn't undertand what about I
wrote. We can blame my writing skills (in English?) for that, or?
Better stop the discussion and check what new ideas XV-3.00 gives;
I allready mailed one to Bradley...

My recently modified Quadra 700 with a socket for clock oscillators has now
completed nearly 40 hours of error free operation at 32 mhz (with a 64 mhz
clock oscillator). I have also tried a 55 mhz CMOS clock and that works as well.
On the more stupid side, I've discovered you can use a 40 mhz clock and make
your Q700 as slow as a Centris 610. However, a 25 mhz clock which would have
yielded a 12.5 mhz Quadra 700 (Who'd want one?) didn't work at all.

What I usually use...and this stuff is only good on glass....is either Acetone,

carcinogen(sp?)) but it usualy gets the job done. I imagine you can you the two

Better yet, you may just want to go to your local hardware store and ask them
what they use.

This is true. The statement didn't say anything about Christians in general.
It specifically said "strict fundamentalist" Christians. It reflects a
common perception that people have about fundamentalists being strict
disciplinarians. Whether or not this perception is justified is another issue.

What you call "the Trinity and the Catholic church's definition
of it" is precisely the result of the first Christians getting
together and trying to find an acceptable answer to your
question "what is a Christian?". I can't see what you are
objecting to: someone is saying what historians of all beliefs
would agree on, and you are calling him a closed-minded bigot?
You really ought to say what you mean by "belief in Jesus
Christ". It is not a wording that is sufficient to describe a
Christian. Muslims believe in Jesus Christ although they
believe he was a prophet and not the incarnated Son of God. But
followers of Eastern religions might be quite happy to say that
Jesus was the incarnation of God - along with large numbers of
other historical and mythical figures.
So perhaps you ought to rephrase your question and say
precisely what it is in the traditional definitions of what it
is to be a Christian, as handed down by the Universal Church,
you object to but regard as unnecessary for being a Christian.

As a side note, in that same ad (MacWorld 6/93), they are selling the 50MHz
Powercache for the IIsi with FPU for $575. For those thinking of upgrading
to the 040 33 MHz Turbo (an upgrade costs $600 direct from Daystar), this comes
out to $1175, about $200 cheaper than what most mail-order companies charge.

I don't know the answer to your direct question, but if the Mac Superdrive can
read MS-DOS disks (can it??) then you can transfer files between the NeXT and
a Mac by using MS-DOS formatted disks since the NeXT *can* read/write that
format. And if you're interested in transferring files, you can also do it
over the serial port using kermit.

Special creation has not been observed in action. Bill Rawlin's
assertions that man was created in his present form do not count
as creation. Put another way, there are an incredible amount of
species of the planet. How many species have we DIRECTLY observed
being created by a god or gods?

Well, in my opinion the Canucks played a really strong game. I was
especially pleased by a very strong game from Linden - I think he
could be a key to success for them this year. Defensively, they
really had a strong game. Hardly heard Selanne's name all night.
Craven also played one of his best games since coming over. With a
few exceptions, they really didn't let the high-flying Jets do much
high-flying. I thought the Jets defence looked overmatched by the
Canucks forwards - they will have to improve on that if they want to
make this a series.
In short, it was a great start!

I used to hate it when people posted messages like this, but now that I
am contemplating a purchase, I can see why they do.
So, has anyone heard of any upcoming (within the next 6 months)
advances in the Powerbook line? Can we expect to see a PowerPC
PowerBook at some point in the future (I assume an 040 would take too
much power and generate too much heat for installation in a PowerBook)?

I'm trying to find some information on accelerator boards for the SE. Has
anyone used any in the past, especially those from Extreme Systems, Novy or
MacProducts? I'm looking for a board that will support extended video,
especially Radius's two-page monitor. Has anyone used Connectix Virtual in
conjunction with their board? Any software snafus? Are there any stats
anywhere on the speed difference between a board with an FPU and one
without? Please send mail directly to me. Thanks.

"Well Regulated", at the time of its writing and in the context of the Second Amendment,
means "Properly trained and equipped."
It modern language it would read:

Less than 1/2 of mailorder price!
I have three libraries, all on CD, which cost me over two thousand dollars
mail order. They are all genuine, high quality EPS vector graphics (NOT just
some scans with a silly EPS wrapper!) They are:
1. Totem Graphics color EPS library (about 1400 color EPS images).
This costs a thousand bucks mailorder. I rate this clip art as
high quality (much better than Dynamic Graphics clip art, SOTMC clip art,
etc., in my opinion), but I rate both the 3G library and the C.A.R.
library as higher. Totem's art is ALL color -- whereas most of the other's
are B&W. It's the best all-color library out there, in my opinion.
2. C.A.R. Graphics library (haven't counted how many images, but you can
purchase the library on 48 floppies, to give you an idea of the size).
This costs about 4 hundred bucks mailorder. I rate this clip art as
very high quality, but it's only B&W.
3. 3G Graphics library (very popular in all the Mac mags). This costs
about 4 hundred bucks mailorder. I rate this clip art as very high quality
(got some awards in one of the major Mac mags, forgot which). Some of
the images are color, but most are B&W.
For what it's worth, all three of the CD's are saved in multiple file formats.
They are readable on Mac's and PC's. Additionally, Totem's will mount native-
NeXT also, although the NeXT could just as easily mount either the Mac or PC
filesystems. I've personally tested the CD's on all three machines (I've owned
all three machines, although I sold my NeXT a few months ago).
Also, in my opinion, the 3G and C.A.R. libraries are the best in the business
(and I've seen lots). Also, Totem's is, in my opinion, the best all-color
library around, although I like 3G's color art better.
I want $850 for everything. Can ship certified check C.O.D., as well as
VISA/MC charge. If you pay by VISA/MC, I'll ship pre-paid in the continental U.S.
If I ship C.O.D., buyer pays freight and C.O.D. fee.
Reason for selling: No longer have DTP business.
Please respond via email or telephone, as I rarely check these news groups.

Before you finalize your file in the FAQs (or after), you might want to
correct the typo in the following:
It seems one or the other end of the rating scale should be identified with
"homosexual".
As a personal note, I guess I differ with you on the question of work
entering human life as a result of sin.
Before the fall (Gen 2:15) "And the LORD God took the man, and put him into
the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it." which I would call "work".
For me, the difference introduced by sin is the painful aspects of work added
at the fall (I take the cursing of the ground in vs.17-19 to apply to the
work for sustenance). In a way, some view "work" as a blessing (Ecclesiastes
is a fun book! - for melancholies).
I hope I do not sound caustic, maybe you can enlighten me further.
Well, this is certainly a delicate subject, and I guess you accomplished what
you state as your purpose "It summarizes arguments for allowing Christian
homosexuality", not for me the most noble goal, but you are writing a FAQ.
I wonder if you might temporize the apparent "sentence" of the specific
homosexual you propose (arguably tenuously define).
Perhaps that would be true of "celibacy from homosexual relations", or
refrainng from their choice relationships, but that does not forbid
heterosexual. Could they not have/enjoy heterosexual relations "for what it
was worth"?

"passngering" on my fiance's Bandit, my hip-pack rubbed against the tail

Dayley's salary was guarenteed...with Wells the Jays were only on the
hook for 25%(?) of it.
Give Jackson a break...he lost about 10 pounds with that flu he had
when he was traded.
I would rather have Molitor than Winfield...Winfield was just hogging
all the credit, and he was trying to soak the Jays for a 3 year
guarenteed contract...
The Jays pitching can only get better...Molitor and Alomar haven't hit
anything yet...and the Jays are still over .500...

There is no doubt that Israeli authorities ordered the destruction of
mosques in the vicinity of the Wailing Wall. That does not mean,
however, that once can generalize from this to any other points. The
entire plaza, mosques and all, was cleared to make it possible for Jews
to have a place to worship in the place that was holiest to many of
them, and which had been denied to them for millenia.
On the other hand, throughout the rest of Jerusalem and Israel, to the
best of my knowledge, Israeli authorities have scrupulously avoided
damage to any Islamic religious sites. This contrasts with the policies
of previous regimes which destroyed Jewish synagogues out of hate and
bigotry.

The easiest way is a user fee for each clipper chip manufactured. This makes
the funding separate from government.
It also has the neat side property that if the chip doesn't catch on, the
scheme breaks down, and the government is back to the drawing boards,
assuming that they haven't prohibited alternatives in the meantime.
In fact, maybe this should be part of the "official" system. Before the
government is allowed to move this past the "experimental" stage, they
should have to demonstrate economic viability by mass adoption. The
government is very fond of demonstration projects proving feasibility in the
use of government funds for social programs--they should have to make a
similar feasibility demonstration (on economic viability cum acceptance
terms) for this baby as well. Let's put it to the only vote that counts--a
marketplace vote among those who have to pay for it.

I've had cold sores in the past. But they have always been in the
corner of my mouth. Recently, I've had what appears to be
a cold sore, but on my lower lip in the middle (above the chin).
Can cold sores appear anywhere around the mouth (or body)?
Is there a medical term for cold sore?

Sorry Geoff,
Agree solder mask is green, but in the old days we didn't have wave soldering
machines (which are another topic again). I had a crew of a dozen ladies which
could stuff and hand solder a board like lightning!
Board under the mask was the original query.
BTW cheap inport electronic devices (mainly from 3rd world countries) are done
with brown pheonolic boards. Is seems the electronics industry has discovered
the cheap labor pools. Workers are paid by the board to assemble circuits at
home. They are very obviously hand soldered. Quite a few tape recorders are
being brought into Canada from Red China. In China there is no warranty for
the equipment other than if you plug it in and it works it's yours. One of my
co-workers spent a year there and he said the failure rate out of the box was
almost 50%.
Also, the original method for making printed with conductive ink on a regular
printing press. An old lithographer friend had a press for this. After the
etching method was developed he used the press to print wood grain on doors.

I don't think a reboost exercise is analogous to a shuttle landing/launch
in terms of stresses/misalignments/etc. I would think of the reboost as
a gentile push, where a landing, then launch as two JOLTS which would
put more mechanical stress on the instruments. Additionally, there might
be a concern about landing loads to the shuttle in the event of a laden
landing. Finally, probably some thought went into possible contamination
problems if the instruments came back to earth.
Of course, the cost of two shuttle launches _is_ a good reason to avoid
something that might be done in one shuttle launch. Here's hoping
Cepi's gang gets the job done right the first time.

I also heard the Romans had a large Solar festival on this day because this
day, about 3 days after the Winter Solstice, was when you could notice a
change in the shadows and be sure that the Sun was indeed returning. In fact,
I remember the latin phrase Natalis Solis Invicti (sp!) associated here.
I can't say for certain when Saturnalia was, since I can't locate my Master
Holiday List. I think it was 2 weeks or so however.

Again I assume this is not just flame bait by Roger, but actually a
truly held opinion.
Thanks. For speaking for all those who didn't feel it was important
enough to say something themselves.
I wouldn't say that the letter clearly implies representation of the
views of a group that you belong to. It represents a subset (that you
don't belong to) of a larger group (which you do, if only because this
isn't a moderated group).
Look, there are several ways to state an opposing viewpoint. Three
that come to mind are as follows:
1) Say it subtly. Result: it may not be clear.
2) Say it directly yet politely. Result: probably it will spark some
interesting conversation.
3) Say it directly and obnoxiously. Result: validity goes right out
the window.
You realize that anything you say can, and most certainly will, be
used against you.

Boy am I glad that I didn't start out with one of thos PS/2 computers.
I started the upgrade operation out by spending $235 for a AMD386DXL-40

1.) How do you feel about groups like Diecide, Slayer, and Dio who
freely admit to practicing satanism and preach it in their songs?
2.) How do you feel about groups like Petra, old Stryper, Whitecross,
and Holy Soldier who promote and sing about Cristianity?

Minor Threat, and Ministry who condone and sing about atheism?
4.) How do you feel about bands like Shelter who preach the Hare
Krishna religion and other minority(but not unheard of) religions?

I'm for the moment interested in this notion of the 'leap of faith'
established by Kierkegaard. It clearly points out a possible solution
to transcendental values. What I don't understand is that it also
clearly shows the existentialism system where any leap to any
transcendental direction is equal.
In other words I might not jump off the cliff mentioned above,
but at the same time I will decide to what direction I will go.
Actually I will do it just now.
Cheers,
Kent

ANNOUNCING
a new
ONLINE EXHIBIT
from
THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
ROME REBORN: THE VATICAN LIBRARY & RENAISSANCE CULTURE
an Exhibit at the
Library of Congress
Washington, DC 20540
Available by anonymous FTP from
seq1.loc.gov
(140.147.3.12)
/pub/vatican.exhibit
ROME REBORN: THE VATICAN LIBRARY AND RENAISSANCE CULTURE
presents some 200 of the Vatican Library's most precious
manuscripts, books, and maps--many of which played a key role in
the humanist recovery of the classical heritage of Greece and
Rome. The exhibition presents the untold story of the Vatican
Library as the intellectual driving force behind the emergence of
Rome as a political and scholarly superpower during the
Renaissance. The exhibit will be on display in the Jefferson
Building of the Library of Congress from January 8, 1993 through
April 30, 1993. The online exhibit will be available by
anonymous FTP indefinitely.
The exhibit is divided into nine (9) sections: The Vatican
Library, Archaeology, Humanism, Mathematics, Music, Medicine &
Biology, Nature Described, A Wider World I: How the Orient Came
to Rome, and A Wider World II: How Rome Went to China. Each
section consists of its own sub-directory within the /exhibit
directory and contains the exhibit text for that section and
separate JPEG image files for each object. This online exhibit
includes not only objects from the Library of Congress exhibit,
but also the alternate objects (brought from Rome to be used if
there were a problem with one of the primary objects) and items
omitted later in the planning process.
This exhibit will be of interest to Medieval and Renaissance
scholars in particular, but also to art historians, historians of
science or medicine, early music scholars, students of the
humanist movement, students of printing and the printed word,
theologians, scholars of both Far and Near Eastern studies, and
to librarians and information professionals. Please get the
README file for details on what files this exhibit contains. If
you have questions about how to use FTP, speak to your local
computer support person. If you have questions or comments about
the CONTENT of the exhibit, please write to vatican@kell.loc.gov
while if you have any questions or comments on the SYSTEM please
contact me.

This sounds like what happened to my HD a month ago. My HD was stacked
with Stacker v.2.0 (I run Dos5) Suddenly everything hung up, and most of
the HD got corrupted (directories changed into unreadable files with
'funny' names). In other words: it is probably just the doubledisk part of
Dos6 that is troublesome.
I now use Stacker v 3.0, and so far I have had no trouble.

I have a PLP II laser printer make by GCC Technologies. I have problem
with a dirty first page. The top portion of the first is always smeared
with black toner across the page. If I print more than one page at the
same time, the problem does not occur on other pages. I cleaned the
printer but still does not help. Can anyone offer any solutions?
or know the phone # to GCC Technologies?
Thanks in advance

Gerald, look at what happened to the Stars; they are off to Dallas.
Gerald, the Alberta election is slated fou 7 June, unless something RE?ALLY goes
wrong this time!! Pocklington could end up being THE embarassment of Klein
if he goes ahead with his 'ultimatum'.
Gerald, people still have an axe to grind with this guy. I CANNOT see him staying for long.
But the people in Edmonton won't budge, trust me on this one.
Northlands won't budge ccording to one of the board members, Bruce Campbell.
I haven't heard anything, BUT attendance at the Coliseum was the lowest this
year. HINT!!HINT!! Remeber what I said about a personal vendetta?
Gerald, don't blame Sather. This battle between the peole and Pocklington
started in 1986 and got WORST when Pocklington sold Gretzky.
There were days when you can shake the hand of Pocklington when he was
respectalbe( I use to do so in 1982 - 1983 season) , but those days are GOE!!
BTW, when following up, please delete name of posting writer.

The lethality in small part, but mostly what I found frightening
was the fact that they were wielded by people who believed that they
ate breakfast every morning with Jesus Christ. Now I wasn't there in
Galilee back in the Roman occupation, so I don't know for certain that
David Koresh was not Jesus Christ, but I strongly suspect that he was
not (even aside from the fact of never having seen them in a photograph
together).
I admit I can't cite a specific, but if there isn't a law against
purchasing grenade components and assembling them into functioning units
then perhaps we need one. All second ammendment arguments aside, I'm just
not sure that I like the idea of private citizens with hand grenades.

You might want to get a disposible flash camera, shoot the roll of film,
then take it apart (they're snapped together). We used a bunch of them

the film out (it's a standard 35mm canister), and kept the batteries
(they use one AA battery). Sorry, I didn't keep any of the flash electronics.

I have not seen articles in comp.graphics.research for a long time.
Does it/he work anymore?
I have seen many conference related postings in comp.graphics,
and it is hard to believe that people have not tried to post them to
c.g.research.
If somebody has not got his article to comp.graphics.research, then
write to me or post here.

---------------------- LightWave3D Mail-List ----------------------
-- WHAT IS LightWave? --
LightWave3D is part of a suite of programs that come bundled with a
device called the "Toaster" (from NewTek, Inc.) that operates on an
Amiga platform. The LightWave software (LightWave=LightWave3D and
LightWave Modeler) allows and artist to create three dimensional
photo-realistic images for a variety of purposes.
-- WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? --
This mailing list is for those interested in the LightWave software, how
it operates and in ideas on how to obtain the best quality images
available to them. The list is for those who own the Toaster and
LightWave as well as those just interested in what can be done with the
package. We hope to share information, tips, procedures and to bond as
a group.
-- WHAT ARE THE RULES? --
Since LightWave/Modeler are just a part of the Newtek Video Toaster
software, I'm sure we will discuss a few items related to the operation
of the Toaster. However, we will strive to keep the subject revolving
specifically around the 3D software, related tools and products.
You do NOT have to own a Toaster to join this list!
-- OK! HOW DO I JOIN? --
To become a member of the LightWave3D mailing list you must send a mail
message to the address:
lightwave-request@bobsbox.rent.com
In the body of the message enter:
subscribe lightwave-l your.name@your.site.domain
Or just ask to be signed up and I will sign you up to the list. At this
point in time the process is manual but I hope to get an automated
script based system in place soon. There shouldn't be too much of a
delay in joining. Expect a "welcome" message within 5 days after you
send your request. Then, expect the mail to start flowing in!
-- HOW DO I POST TO THE LIST? --
Contributing to the list is simple. Just mail your articles to the
following address:
lightwave@bobsbox.rent.com
Your article will be processed by the system and distributed to all
others joined to the list. Your articles will also be sent to you so
you know that your article has made it to the list. However, those
addresses that are either no good or no longer active will bounce back
to you. So, if you post an article and another members address is no
longer valid, your original article will be returned to you. This
doesn't mean it hasn't been posted to the list. In fact, just the
opposite is true. It means that your article WAS posted and that it
couldn't be sent to one or more of the members of the list due to a bad
address.
NOTE: I hope to have a fix for this behavior soon.
-- HOW DO I QUIT THE LIST? --
Simply mail a request to be removed from the list to the same address
you used to sign up:
lightwave-request@bobsbox.rent.com
In the body of the message enter:
unsubscribe LightWave-l your.name@your.site.domain
I will remove your name from the list of members. PLEASE, if you join
the list and your account is going to be closed or if you will not be
able to receive mail for a while, send a request to be removed from the
list! If you are just going to lose access for a short while still send
a request for a suspension of your membership and I will suspend
forwarding of the articles to you.
-- WHAT ABOUT OLD ARTICLES? --
I am currently archiving all the articles posted to the list at the
originating site (bobsbox). However, I can not continue to do this due
to lack of disk space. What we need is a volunteer that will maintain a
compendium of articles sent to the list. They can compress and store
them in archives on their system. They can then periodically post an
index of the contents of the compendium and any other information that
relates.
If there are no volunteers then maybe someone can donate a large SCSI
hard drive to me for archival purposes. <grin>
I have setup a mail-based file server so that anyone interested in the
list can obtain information as well as the entire archive of past
articles, the membership listing and other information pertaining to
the LightWave3D mailing list. For information on this service, please
send a mail message to:
fileserver@bobsbox.rent.com
The first command to the server must be "HELP" or "USER name <passwd>".
Use HELP to request a current copy of the helpfile.
Use USER name [passwd] to connect to the service.
Use ? to get a short listing of all available commands.
-- NOW WHAT DO I DO? --
Well, sit back and enjoy the pouring out of information. If you have
something to offer, please feel free to contribute that information to
the list. Every little bit helps. Questions are welcomed! It makes
some of us feel important when we can answer them. <grin>
If you have any questions or comments regarding the list, please contact
me at the address:

Meeting of the UK Cryptoprivacy Association
- -------------------------------------------
Saturday, 8 May 1993, 1500
To be held at the offices of:
FOREST
4th floor
2 Grosvenor Gardens
London SW1W 0DH
This is located at the corner of Hobart Place, a couple of
blocks west of Victoria Station, and almost directly across from
the dark green cabbie shelter.
If you have trouble finding the place, please call the office on
071-823-6550. Or, call me (Russell Whitaker) on my pager,
081-812-2661, and leave an informative message with the
telephone number where you can be reached; I will return the
call almost immediately.
Discussion will range from the usual general topics, such as the
use of secure public key cryptosystems to protect message data, to
specific topics, such as recent moves by the U.S. government
to restrict choice in data privacy (reference recent discussion
on Usenet groups, e.g. sci.crypt and alt.security.pgp).
All are invited. Particularly welcome are members of the
newly-formed UK CommUnity group ... the local
EFF-in-spirit-if-not-in-name folks.
Those who plan to attend should email me and let me know.
Please.
All attendees are requested to bring diskettes - preferably
MS-DOS - with their PGP 2.+ public keys. As is usual at these
gatherings, several of us will bring our laptops, and will sign
public keys, subject to the usual caveats (reference the
documentation for PGP 2.2, specifically files PGPDOC1.DOC and
PGPDOC2.DOC).
If you do not already have a copy of PGP 2.2 (MS-DOS), and would
like to have a copy of this public domain program, please bring
a formatted, medium or high density 3.5 inch floppy PC diskette;
you will be provided a copy of the program.
Of course, you might prefer to ftp a version of the program from
one of the various archive sites. I suggest trying Demon
Internet Systems, which carries the full range of PGP (Phil
Zimmerman's "Pretty Good Privacy") implementations: directory
/pub/pgp at gate.demon.co.uk.
Meetings are of indeterminate time. Those who are interested
are invited to join the rest of us at a pseudorandomly
determined pub afterwards.
Please note:
- ------------
In the past few months, interested people have emailed me,
requesting FAQs and special information mailings. I regret
that, except in very unusual cases (e.g. working press), I
cannot, in a timely manner, respond to these requests. I will,
however - and for the first time - do a writeup of this meeting,
which I will post in various places.
What I *am* willing to supply is general information on our
activities for the maintainers of existing FAQs, such as that
for alt.privacy. FAQ maintainers can contact me at

But it's STILL HAPPENING. That's the entire point. Only last month, John
Major hailed it as a great victory that he had personally secured a sale of
arms to Saudi Arabia. The same month, we sold jet fighters to the same
Indonesian government that's busy killing the East Timorese.
It's all very well to say "Oops, we made a boo-boo, better clean up the
mistake", but the US and UK *keep* making the *same* mistake. They do it so
often that I can't believe it's not deliberate. This suspicion is reinforced
by the fact that the mistake is an extremely profitable one for a decrepit
economy reliant on arms sales.
No, I thought both were terrible.

No, that's the point of evolution, not the point of "natural
morality". Unless, of course, as I have suggested several
times already, "natural morality" is just a renaming.
But your "yes?" is actually stronger than this. You are
agreeing that "every time an organism evolves cooperative
behaviour" you are going to call it a "natural morality."
Bee dance is a naturally developed piece of cooperative behaviour.

Not to start *another* shaft effect discussion, but the twist you

I think the Blue Book is the NADA handbook for used car prices, no?
Is the Blue Book value given the retail or wholesale value??? The
Blue Book value isn't set in stone, though. Low milage, extra addons
and stuff like that there can increase the resale price of the car, you
may want to head on over to the local library or borrow your friends
Blue Book and read up on that sort of stuff. I paid ~$400 under BB
(retail) for my '87 Civic in 1990, and it was in perfect condition and
had only ~14.5K miles on it. The guy was desparate to sell, new kid on
the way, etc., but it was a good price. Remeber, both you and the
buyer, if he has any sort of brains at all, are using the Blue Book, so
you should pick a fair price.

Hello all,
I know that after market sunroofs may have left a bad taste in some of
your mouths, but I am really interested in finding a "good" brand if one
exists. Please let me know if you have heard of any makers with a good
reputation (few failures, no leaks, that sort of thing) and whether or
not you have had first hand experience with that manufacturer. Who is
generally regarded in the industry as the "best" (price no object) maker
of power sunroofs??

As a child i can remember picking up a centipede and getting a rather painful
sting, but it quickly subsided. Much less painful compared to a bee sting.

Thanks for posting the exact wording which I had not seen
previously. The part I quote above seems to me to indicate
disapproval of capital punishment - it is to be used only when
other means are not sufficient; I would say this is a stronger
restriction than saying that capital punishment is useable when
justifiable. I would certainly say there are cases where a
crime justifies death (perhaps this is the Old Testament
interpretation), but my reverence for life would say that I
would oppose the actual infliction of the death penalty (a New
Testament interpretation?). It is a matter for debate whether
the death penalty works to keep the peace in a way that
non-violent provisions do not. I don't believe it does, and I
would certainly observe that in the USA, where you have the
death penalty, there is a far higher murder rate than here in
the UK, where we do not.

No. The simple $25 style IDE controller does not use DMA. The CPU performs
the data transfer with a string move instruction. This requires that the
CPU stop what it had been doing and transfer the data. Only the smart drive
controllers, be they IDE or SCSI, can transfer via DMA. These controllers
tend to cost the same wether they are IDE or SCSI. To get the DMA benefits,
IDE must sacrifice it's price advantage *on the controller*.
Floppies aren't on the IDE bus, your arguement makes no sense, this isn't
an IDE issue. The floppys have their own processor on their controller
board which handles all of these commands.
The difference between IDE and SCSI is that all SCSI peripherials are
intelligent. They each have their own controller. They depend on the
CPU to do fewer things for them, i.e. IDE drives needing a processor
to transfer their data.
The dettach/callback mechanism alows the CPU to make requests of the
devices on the SCSI bus and then dettach and go about its business.
Later, when the device is done, it issues a callback to say that the
data has arrived or the function has completed. Most SCSI cards will
also DMA the data into memory without the interupting the CPU, therefore
allowing it to continue working uninterupted. IDE supports no such concept
as dettach/callback.
Can you see how this would be a win in any multitasking system?

Interstellar grains are not at all close to blackbodies. The "large"
grains have sizes of order 0.1 micron and absorb visible light with
fair efficiency. However, at temperatures below 100 K, 90% of the
thermal emission will be beyond 22 microns, where radiating
efficiency is poor. (A small antenna cannot easily radiate at long
wavelengths.) Thus the grains must heat up more in order to radiate
the energy they have absorbed.
Moreover, the IRAS observations had a maximum wavelength of 100
microns. Grains colder than 30 K will radiate primarily at longer
wavelengths, and IRAS would be relatively insensitive to them. In
the extreme limit, grains as cold as 5 K will be almost undetectable
by any conceivable observation.
Worse still, IRAS color temperatures are heavily contaminated by a
population of "small" grains. These grains have only perhaps 50
atoms, and when they are hit by a single photon they heat up to
temperatures of several hundred or 1000 K. Of course they cool
quickly and then stay cold for a while, but _when they are radiating_
the characteristic temperature is several hundred K. Even a small
population of these grains can dramatically raise the observed
"average" temperature.
A model for local infrared emission consistent with COBE data has
three components. These represent scattered radiation from Zodiacal
dust (color temperature 5500 K), thermal emission from Zodiacal dust
(Tc = 280 K), and thermal emission from Galactic dust (Tc=25 K). At
the ecliptic poles, the emissivities or dilution factors are
respectively 1.9E-13, 4E-8, and 2E-5. The first two are roughly
doubled in the ecliptic plane.
To find the thermal equilibrium temperature, we add up the dilution
factor times the fourth power of temperature for all components, then
take the fourth root. In the table below, starlight comes from
Allen's number that stellar emission from the whole sky is equivalent
to 460 zero mag stars with B-V color of 0.75. No doubt careful work
could do much better. (The person who suggested starlight had a
dilution factor of E-4 must have been remembering wrong. We would be
cooked if that were the case. In any event, the energy density of
starlight comes out about the same as that of the microwave
background, and I believe that to be correct.)
Dilution Temp. DT^4
Microwave background 1 2.7 53
Galactic dust 2E-5 25 8
Zodiacal dust (emission) 6E-8 280 369
Zodiacal dust (scattering) 3E-13 5500 275
Starlight 1E-13 5500 92
-----
797
The fourth root of 797 is 5.3 K. Outside the Solar system, the
result would be 3.5 K.
I find these results surprising, especially the importance of
Zodiacal dust, but I don't see any serious mistakes.

Intro to ACCESS.bus (RE: the ACCESS.bus Software Creator's
Contest Announcement)
WHAT IS ACCESS.bus?
ACCESS.bus is a new open industry standard for computer
peripheral connectivity. ACCESS.bus is a serial protocol that
uses simple, low-cost I2C technology to link multiple devices to
a single PC port. Peripheral devices such as keyboards or
keypads, locators (Mice, Trackballs, Joysticks), printers, VR
gloves, digitizers, sensors, actuators or data transmitters and
others can be easily daisy chained to the host PC. Applications
such as CAD/CAM, Data Acquisition, Simulation, Virtual Reality,
Multiple-Player/Single PC Games, Education and many, many more
can now take advantage of ACCESS.bus, the technology that puts
Plug and Play on every PC.
The ACCESS.bus offers advantages to end-users and developers of
systems and peripherals. Multiple devices connect to the host
computer with only one port. Common communication methods for a
number of device types lead to simplified hardware and software
development. As an open standard, ACCESS.bus enables cross-
platform use of the same device.
ACCESS.bus TECHNOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION:
=====================================
ACCESS.bus technology is an open specification, enabling anyone
to implement it on host systems or in peripheral devices without
fee or royalty.
ACCESS.bus has a bus topology architecture. That is, a single
host can accommodate up to 125 peripheral devices. ACCESS.bus
data rate is 100 Kbits/sec.
ACCESS.bus Physical Layer
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ACCESS.bus is a serial bus architecture, based on I2C hardware
protocol, with one data line and one clock line.
Standard low-cost I2C microcontrollers handle bit-level
handshaking, including automatic arbitration and clock
synchronization.
ACCESS.bus Software Protocols
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The ACCESS.bus communication protocol is composed of three
levels: I2C Protocol, Base Protocol, and Application Protocol.
I2C PROTOCOL: This simple and efficient protocol defines
arbitration among contending masters without losing data. I2C
provides for cooperative synchronization of bus partners with
different clock rates. Bus transactions include addressing,
framing of bits into bytes, and byte acknowledgment by the
receiver.
BASE PROTOCOL: Establishes the asymmetrical interconnect between
a host computer and multiple peripherals. The host becomes the
ACCESS.bus manager. The Base Protocol defines the format of an
ACCESS.bus message envelope, which is an I2C bus transaction with
additional semantics, including checksum.
Unique features of the Base Protocol are auto-addressing and hot
plugging. Auto-addressing assigns devices with unique bus
addresses, without the need for setting jumpers or switches. Hot
plugging is the ability to attach and detach devices while the
system is running, without rebooting.
APPLICATION PROTOCOL: This is the highest level of the ACCESS.bus
protocol which defines message semantics specific to particular
types of devices. Each type requires a different Application
Protocol. Three broad device types have been identified:
keyboards, locators, and text devices.
ACCESS.bus support on the PC
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
All three levels of the ACCESS.bus protocol are supported on the
PC. An add-on card implements the physical layer and uses the
base protocol to communicate with physical ACCESS.bus devices.
An ACCESS.bus Manager - TSR under DOS and a DLL under Windows 3.1
- controls the operation of the physical layer and interacts with
the ACCESS.bus device drivers. Drivers are available for
multiple ACCESS.bus keyboards, locators and printers for DOS and
Windows 3.1. Also available are C language source code examples
of the interface from applications to the device drivers.

A friend was recently admitted to North Carolina Memorial Hospital
because of suspected meningitis. Serious business. They wanted to do
a lumbar puncture, for which a CT scan is a prerequisite.
I arrived in her hospital room about an hour after she had returned
from the CT. She was in tears. Evidently the technicians in the CT
lab had been very unpleasant to her.
To begin with, they put her on the apparatus that moves you into the
machine itself, and just pushed a button to slide her straight into the
machine, without any explanation. Imagine this. You worried you may
have a deadly disease, and next thing you know you're being put into
this big scary machine, without a word of explanation about what is
going to happen to you. I believe this is inexcusable. She waved her
hand as if to say what are you doing to me, and they responded with
annoyance and anger. Next they inserted, or tried to insert, an IV
catheter. Apparently she has a lot of trouble with these and complained
of the pain. The technician just stopped and fixed her with a glare
without any words of explanation.
Is there anything I can do about these pigs ?
I realize that these technicians do this sort of job day in and day
out. And that some patients can be very irritating and uncooperative.
But this is simply no excuse. Their purpose for existing is to help
sick people, and there is no excuse for this sort of behavior.
Fortunately my friend is fine. But I imagine a large proportion of the
people who get CT scans are not fine at all. They have cancer and that
sort of thing. They don't need this kind of shit.
Also, since I named the hospital involved, I should also point out that
neither she nor I have any complaints about the competence or compassion
of any of the other personnel at NCMH.

_The_ problem with Oort cloud sources is that absolutely
no plausible mechanism has been proposed. It would have
to involve new physics as far as I can tell. Closest to
"conventional" Oort sources is a model of B-field pinching
by comets, it's got too many holes in it to count, but at
least it was a good try...
So you have a plausible model for GRB's at astronomical distances?
I don't have any plausible models for GRBs at any distances ;-)
Recent observations have just about ruled out the merging neutron star
hypothesis, which had a lot of problems, anyhow. We have to look for
implausible models and what is fundamentally allowed independent of
models.
Hmm, the "superbowl" burst has been claimed in press releases
to cast doubt on the merging NS hypothesis, from what I've read
(and I haven't seen the papers, only the press) I'd say it is
consistent with some of the merging NS models
A paper on the possibility of GRB's in the Oort cloud just came
through the astrophysics abstract service. To get a copy of this
Here is the abstract of that paper.
...
indicator to these events all possible sources which are
isotropically distributed should remain under consideration. This is
why the Oort cloud of comets is kept on the list,
although there is no known mechanism for generating \GRBs
from cometary nuclei. Unlikely as it may seem, the possibility that \GRBs
originate in the solar cometary cloud
cannot be excluded until it is disproved.
This does not propose a _mechanism_ for GRBs in the Oort (and, no,
anti-matter annihilation does not fit the spectra at least as far
as I understand annihilation spectra...). Big difference.
That's ignoring the question of how you fit a distribution
to the Oort distribution when the Oort distribution is not well
known - in particular comet aphelia (which are not well known)
are not a good measure of the Oort cloud distribution...

The country also has a different official language written in its
constitution (and vice versa :-) - maybe they're motivated by a love of
Irish poetry. Your argument is fallacious, jon.
For what it's worth, I agree with all that you say about Ireland above,
and more.

But of course, it is expected that umpires will show up players.
Don't get me wrong, I understand the nature of the game, but I just
believe that a little ego-ectomy for the umpires would make the game
much better.

# #From the Santa Rosa (Cal.) Press-Democrat, April 15, 1993, p. B2:

# # Male sex survey: Gay activity low
#
# Note this contradictory title- Gay Activity Low.
Not really. The percentage of gays was low. Headline writers aren't
noted for accuracy.
# # A new natonal study on male sexual behavior, the most thorough
# # examination of American men's sexual practices published since
# # the Kinsey report more than four decades ago, shows about 2
# # percent of the men surveyed had engaged in homosexual sex and
# # 1 percent considered themselves exclusively homosexual.
# #
# #The article also contains numbers on the number of sexual partners.
# #The median number of sexual partners for all men 20-39 was 7.3.
#
# #It's a shame that we don't have a breakdown for
# #straight men vs. gay/bi men -- that would show even more dramatically
# #how much more promiscuous gay/bi men are.
# #--
#
# Now let's take a quick look at what you are saying.
#
# The median of a distribution is that variate-value which divides the
# distribution halfway, i.e. 1/2 of the distribution (population) have
# lower and half have higher variate-values.
#
# So for Males 20-39 the median=7.3, this means that half of these men
# are higher than this and half are lower than this. Now if the population
# sample size is 3300, and 1% of them are gay, 33 males are gay. If we
Actually, 2% were either exclusively homosexual, or bisexual. You aren't
readiing very carefully.
# say they are distributed equally then only 16.5 are greater than 7.3
# sexual partners, of course, this means that 49.5% heterosexual men are
# greater than 7.3.
#
# Interesting results.

Use a workProc. See XtAppAddWorkProc(3Xt).
You should split your drawing routnie up into small chunks (this
is the hard part). Then, in the callback that starts the drawing,
you call XtAppAddWorkProc() to call your workProc the first time.
Your workProc should be a function that returns a boolean...
TRUE when you are finished, and FALSE when you want to keep
processing. If you return FALSE, the workProc is automatically
re-installed.
Note that this method is better that using a time-out loop, since
events get processed in a more precedence-oriented manner. If you
are using the same Ada bindings I am, however, you are hosed, and
should look into XtAppAddTimeout(3Xt).

And just where is the evidence for this? FBI sayso. The Texas Medical
Examiner refuted 2 of their lies today.
Let me put you in a building, pump in CS, knock the walls down around
you and see how fast you find an exit.
I don't know why either, you're willing to swallow everything fed you.
Good boy.
Oh a Clinton apologist, why didn't you *say* so.
The kgBATF was expecting a quick victory while the cameras rolled,
however, they were the only ones with a script.
Hey, you're the apologist, *you* tell us.
