Hi, there,
I'm trying to build X11R5 mit core distribution on a SparcStation running
SunOS 4.1.1. The only thing I change is the ProjectRoot in site.def. When the
"make World" process goes to "cc -o xdm ...", I get the following error:
ld: Undefined symbol
__C0095A2A
*** Error code 2
And the process continues to finish. Does anybody know what's wrong? Thanx for
any info.

I solved my problem. I still do not understand why it happens ths
way; perhaps some of you C++ gurus can explain this to all of us!
For some reason when I define the following functins in the class
definition (in the .h file) the compiler thinks some pure virtual
functions are not defined. When I placed these two in a separate
source file and compiled them, the problem went away. Any ideas what
happen? Are the functions that are defined in the class construct all
inline ? Is this the problem?
virtual int isEqual (const Object _FAR &obj) const
{ return this == &(HashEntry&) obj; }
virtual void printOn( Rostream os) const
{
os << "[ HWindow is " << (void _FAR *) hWindow << " ]\n";
}

These are MY last words on the subject
Some people think it enhances the flavor. I personally don't think it
helps the taste, it makes me sick, so I try to avoid it.
Well, I know that MSG effects ME adversely - maybe not permanently but
at least temporarily enough that I like to try to avoid the stuff.
EXCUSE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why can't people learn to cook from scratch *ON* the net. I've gotten
LOTS of recipes off the net that don't use additives.
If you LIKE additives then get off the net and go to your local
supermarket, buy lots of packaged foods, and YOU get OFF THE NET!!
I don't!!
HEY - I'll pay *MY* hard earned dollars to buy food that costs more
but does NOT have preservatives. I choose to speak with my pocketbook
in many ways.
Nacho cheese Doritos, breading for MANY frozen fried foods (like fish
and chicken), etc. ad naseum.
Or the "and other natural flavorings syndrome." It's been a few years
since I've bought anything labelled with "and other natural
flavorings".
Well, I had had similar reactions many times. That was when I really
started WATCHING CAREFULLY - reaction to Doritos - hey guess what's in
there - reaction to Lawry's season salt - guess what's in THERE
I'll give you a hint - I've had enough problems with MANY MANY MANY
different products with MSG that I figured out one thing.
UNLESS I plan on getting sick - I won't eat the stuff without my
Seldane. And did I ever learn to read labels.
Which was why I started checking EVERY time I got sick. And EVERY
time I got sick MSG was somehow involved in one of the food products.
And consider there were no other similar ingredients (to my knowledge)
- it might not please a medical researcher - but it pleased my own
personal physician enough for him to give me allergy medicine and MOST
IMPORTANTLY it's enough proof for ME to avoid it (and enough proof
that my INCREDIBLY frugal fiance didn't flinch when I literally threw
out or gave away all the food products in his pantry that had msg -
and he always flinches when there's waste - but it was a simple
explanation - I won't eat this stuff, I WON'T cook with this stuff, so
I can either throw it out or give it away.)
Probably Lawry's seasoning salt. I LOVE the way that tastes.
I'm not saying I NEVER consume ANYTHING with MSG. I've noticed that I
have a certain tolerance level - like a (small) bag of bbq chips once
a month or so it not a problem - but that same bag of chips will
bother me if I also had chicken bouillon yesterday and lunch at one of
the Chinese restaurants the day before.
But - some say that only 2% of the population has a problem with MSG -
some say it's more like 20% - but let's say that it's 5%. How many
people would have to be tested that would have a problem? Also - I
KNOW I have a problem with it, and I wouldn't VOLUNTEER for a test.
Like thanks guys but I don't WANT to get sick. Also - I'm sure that
most people probably have varying degrees of sensitivities at
different times. If I have a cold I'm MUCH more susceptible to the
reaction than when I'm healthy (as proven today - when I'm stuffy but
for some silly reason I still gave in and decided to have the BBQ
chips ;}).
Cathy doesn't - I haven't saved all my postings but I NEVER called it
"chinese restaurant syndrome" and I NEVER stated I got it only from
Chinese food. I just thought it would be easiest to conduct my
personal test at a Chinese take out place that I knew would hold (or
not hold) the MSG. I can't call up whoever makes Doritos and ask them
to make me ONE back of chips without MSG.
Well, I believe I mentioned that in an earlier post
Let's see you wrote this message at
Date: 20 Apr 1993 00:09:31 -0500
but on
Date: 19 Apr 1993 16:33:18 GMT
OH - and just in case anyone thinks I'm prejudice against either
Chinese food or Asian people - I'm not going home to cook some Chinese
food for the guy I'm marrying next week. Incidentally, his last name
is Wu.

Howdy,
I recently upgraded the original BIOS in a Compaq Deskpro 286/12
with a Phoenix replacement BIOS, in order to support an IDE hard drive,
and a high-density 3.5" floppy.
I assumed that this would be a plug-and-play procedure, but I have
encountered a problem that Phoenix and Compaq are unwilling to admit
responsibilty for, and I was wondering if anyone else had seen it.
Everything is hunky-dory except the 3.5" floppy, which will read, but NOT
WRITE diskettes. Any write attempt merely corrupts both FATs.
I have tried everything I can think of.
Any takers?

One more way, which works in manual trans cars I've driven, and it is my
personal favorite (the other suggestions above are great, but try this
one, too).
While pushing the shifter *gently* towards reverse, let the clutch out
slowly (right to the friction point) and the shifter will be pulled into
position. If you do it right, the car won't jump backward, nor will the
gears grind.... You will just glide back.

If he gives you the same story explaining the presence of several
synagogues in the "Moslem Quarter", then the story becomes suspect...
In reality, the Old City was not as neighborhooded in the past as it
became after 1948. In pre-Israel Jerusalem, there were many Jews in
what is now called the Moslem Quarter. There are postal and telephone
directories from that time to prove it. It's really rather
interesting to hear Arabs there claim that a house or store has been
in the family for centuries even when there are clear photos and
documents that show a Jewish-owned business at the same location just
a few decades ago.

Looking at your discussion I would say that you both operate
from your own reference frame. There's no inside and no outside,
there are just two polarized views. As for statements inside the
Bible, things are still not that clear, we don't have any indications
for instance why Jobs was placed in the Old Testament, one of the
few books that actually talks about Satan. Jobs is very much out
of line with the rest of the OT books, and there's a chance that
someone added this book later into the group of OT scriptures.
This operates the other way around as well. You have to understand
the mind of an atheist, agnostic, or as in my case, a radical
relativist. If you don't understand the underlying concepts, it is
pretty hard to continue with a dialogue. I'm not a perfect Christian,
however about 20+ years of Christian teaching should have provided
me with a pretty good picture of the Christian mind frame.
Cheers,
Kent

The May issue of PC/Computing page 246 has a Windows hint and tips for
just this thing. You have to edit the WIN.INI file and add a couple
of lines. I tried it and it works. I actually made my Title bar
and iconized text, and icon text smaller. On my monitor it works well.
You can select a larger font also. You edit the WIN.INI file with
a font name in your system directory. Read the article because I would
not want to retype it here in case I type errored and caused your
system problems.

I like the Clark-WIlliams-Bonds order.
Pitchers can only walk Clark with 2 outs (unlike last year).
Williams is getting better pitches to hit with Bonds looming
in the on-deck circle. Since Matt has a terrible batting eye,
this helps the Giants a lot.
When Bonds gets on base all by himself, he can try to steal 2nd
and then be driven in with a single by Thompson, Manwaring, or Clayton.
If you bat Bonds before the other sluggers, then you don't want
him to run because a "caught stealing" could take you out of a
big inning.
Also Bonds is less in need of protection behind him because he
is such a good base stealer (a walk is a potential double).
The only draw back is when Clark and Williams are clogging up the
bases infront of Bonds... and I think that's a problem the
Giants will be glad to see especially if Robby Thompson gets hot.

When they're not important, yes. All scientists do. Otherwise science would
never get anywhere.
Hang about -- not atomic interactions in general. Just specific ones which
are deemed unimportant. Like gravitational interactions between ions, which
are so small they're drowned out by electrostatic effects, and so on.
Oh, probably. They still make people memorize equations and IR spectra.
Maybe in a few decades they'll discover the revolutionary "data book"
technique.

Subject: HELP:IDE Drive installation problems
Date: Thu Apr 22 12:11:58 1993
I'm having trouble with installing a second IDE drive on a Promise IDE caching
controller. The first drive is a conner 3204 and works fine. The second drive
is a conner 30174, it is currently unjumpered to be the slave drive. The
problem is the slave drive is recognized but is reported back as having no
free space. Disabling cache has made no effect. What else should I check for?

Krispy,
Lets start with what Promise controller that you have. Ther are only
about 4 or 6 of them made. The one that I have the DC-99m needs
nothing done but install it as stated. As to the 2th. hd you do know
about running FDISK on it and partisitions and then formatting it
after your finished with the fdisk operation right!....Sam

I came. I lurked. I read the FAQ.
Now having purchased the recommended books, and having taken to heart the advice that
one knows nothing about crypto without having done a stint as a cryptanalyst, I would like
to correspond with people interested in cryptology.
I am working on implementing the cryptanalyst's workbench example in Booch's OOD with
Applications. I hope to start sending ciphers back and forth so each of us can practice cracking
them. I would like to start with simple Ceaser's ciphers and progress roughly according to
David Kahn's book. Of course I would be interested in general discussions and math also.
I hope to have some foriegn correspondants so that we can test the response time of the
"men in the suits" I've been hearing so much about. Unfortunately as a product of the American
education system I only know English.
Looking forward to any and all responses.

I have a fairly severe high frequency hearing loss. A recent rough test
showed a gently sloping loss to 10-20db down at 1000cps. Then it falls off
a cliff to 70-80dbs down from 1500cps on. This type of loss is difficult
to fit. I am currently using some old siemens behind the ear aids which
keep me roughly functional, but leave a lot to be desired.
Recently I had an opportunity to test the Widex Q8 behind the ear aids for
several weeks. These have four independent programs which are intended to
be customized for different hearing situations and can be reprogramed. I
found them to be a definite improvement over my current aids and was about
to go ahead with them until another local outfit advertised a free trial of
another programmable system called ReSound.
Unfortunately I was only able to try the ReSound aids in their office for
about 30 minutes and I couldn't compare them 'head to head' with the Widex.
Nevertheless, it did appear to me that they were superior and I was
impressed by what I was able to read about the theory behind them which I
will give in a separate posting. They also carry the Widex aids and had one
patient (presumably wealthy) who decided to go ahead and get the ReSound
even though he had purchased the Widex only 6 months ago.
The problem is that the ReSound aids are about twice as expensive as the
Widex and other programmable aids. I could take a trip to Europe on the
difference! Being a lover of bargains and hating to spend money, I am
having a hard time persuading myself to go with the ReSounds. I would
appreciate any opinions on this and other hearing aids and projections
about when and if I might see improvements in technology that aren't quite
so expensive.

I have a 105MB IDE drive and am having a few problems! I get
'Data error on drive C' messages when reading some files. The problem is
also steadily getting worse.
I have run some diagnostic software (PCTools V7.1) and it says that the
drive is OK - but it does have to retry some sectors and it briefly
flashes up an error message (which is too quick to read).
Does anybody know of any cheap or free software which could mark these
sectors as bad (DOS doesn't) or preferably perform a low level format.
I have heard that the latter is possible on an IDE. Technical answers
would be appreciated. It would be nice to be able to use the disk again!!!

Anton LaVey's interpretation of Satanism has always puzzled me. I
read his "Satanic Bible" a few years ago for a social studies project,
as well as a book by Arthur Lyons called "The Cult of Devil Worship
in America." The latter included a very interesting interview with
the Black Pope in which he did indeed say that Satan was merely an
instrument for one to realize the self.
When I refer to Satanism, I am referring to the mishmash of rural Satanic
ritualism and witchcraft which existed before the Church of Satan. I
don't consider LaVey's church to be at all "orthodox," nor do I consider
its followers "satanists." LaVey combined the philosophies of Nietzsche,
Crowley, and Reich, slapped in some religious doctrine, added a little
touch of P.T. Barnum, and christened his creation the Church of Satan.
No doubt the title was a calculated attempt to attract attention...I
suppose he could have just as easily called it the Church of Free Sex.
At any rate, it worked (for a while). In its heyday, the Church had a
huge following, including such Hollywood celebrities as Sammy Davis, Jr.
and Jayne Mansfield. (I have a picture of LaVey with Sammy, by the
way.)
I find the idea of a Satanist not believing in Satan about as credible as
a Christian not believing in Christ. But if you include the Church of
Satan, then I suppose I need to alter my definition. Webster's Dictionary
and The American Heritage Dictionary will have to do the same.

Hello again,
About a week and one-half ago I posted a query looking for people feelings
on the inkjet family of printers. Specifically, a comparison between the
Canon BJ200 (BubbleJet) and the Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 500. Many people
asked me to post the summary/account of all the postings and e-mail I
received. Below is my original query and the responses I received. I have
not deleted any part of the responses, only the headers and signatures, so
you can extract what you find necessary. Some people asked me for an
unbiased account; however, the very nature of the question suggests
favoritism and biased comments, you must extract the information you
believe unbiased and a fair representation of each printer. There are a
wide range of comments, each has its own value.
There was no clear winner, some like the BJ200 (especially its
price/performance ratio), others preferred the durability and reliability
of the DeskJet (the original inkjet with proven drivers and a solid
background). Two new inkjet printers have drawn some attention, a new
printer to be introduced by Hewlett-Packard later this year (around
summertime), and an addition to the Epson product line (their first
inkjet). You will find that after the initial purchase, the costs of
re-filling or replacing the ink cartridges are about the same (this largely
depends on where you purchase the re-fills or replacements -- so shop
around first since this aspect will most likely dominate the cost of your
printer). No one mentioned approx. how many sheets each ink cartridge will
print, but I suspect they are roughly equal at about 1000 - 1500 sheets
(laser printers will do 4000-5000 sheets per toner cartridge). Well,
that's a brief research summary of my personal research. ENJOY!
===========================================================================
Well I bought the BJ 200 about a month ago at the start of their $50 rebate
program on that printer (it ends 5/31), and I bought it from Computer
Discount Warehouse because their price of $325 couldn't be beat anywhere I
looked, and I think it's a HOT printer. Just using regular copier paper
produced fantastic results just in high quality mode. I compared the
output of a Micrografx Designer legal size drawing with 4pt type done on my
BJ 200 with the same drawing printed on an HP Laserjet IID and I was amazed
how well I could read the small print on the BJ 200. Printing speed was
several seconds faster on the BJ 200 which is amazing considering that the
HP has 2.5M ram installed. I measured the time from when the printer first
indicated it was receiving data (as I used print manager in Windows).
I showed the output to several people at work and one manager bought one
immediately for his office, and two other engineers placed their orders
too. If you need CDW's phone number, it's 800-598-4239. Delivery to NY
was two days.
Good luck!

I own a Deskjet 500. Performance isn't spectacular under Windows using
TrueType fonts but neither is the Canon from what I have seen. Quality for
the HP is very much dependent on paper quality - on 'standard' photo-copy
paper the characters have slightly 'frayed' edges but on better quality
'distinction' type paper things look better. For most applications I find
copy paper fine - still better than dot-matrix. Comes with a Windows
driver, which seems to by-pass print manager, has a few
'intelli-fonts'which are HP scaleable fonts - probably faster than TrueType
but haven't really tried them out. Can get RAM & FONT cartridges but unless
the speed of TrueType is a problem I wouldn't bother. The RAM cartridges
can't be used as buffer - soft fonts only.
For graphics, i.e. BMP images etc the HP can be put into a dither mode via
the HP supplied Win driver. There a number of dither options such as
'scatter', 'pattern' etc. The manual gives recommendations depending on
the type of image being printed. Text is not so good in this mode. Problem
arises when you have a document which contains both graphic and text. The
range of tones for graphic images isn't brilliant but I think that is more
of a limitation with inkjet printers in general.
However, a printer definitely worth looking at is the new inkjet from
Epson. This printer is faster, cheaper, and capable of producing
laser-like quality on normal copier paper. Can't remember the model #, LX
- something I think?
I purchased my HP days before the Epson was released here :-{. The
introductory price on the Epson was the same as the HP here in New Zealand.
===========================================================================
About a month ago, I got a Canon BJ200. I absolutely LOVE it. It is
incredibly fast, except for printing from PSPICE (I don't know if you ever
do stuff with that or not.) Most of the stuff I print is either from
Microsoft Word for Windows or just plain text. The only problems I've had
are printing headers/footers (the printer freaked out), and printing on
cheap paper (lots of streaks). Normal copy paper works great with it, you
can only tell it's not laser-printed by holding it, oh, less than twelve
inches from your face. (That is, if you're nearsighted, like me! :) ) The
printer comes with its own driver for Windows 3.1!! I have no other
complaints. The printer also can act just like some EPSON or another for
those archaic software packages that haven't written a driver for it yet.
The teeny-weeny footprint is a real plus, too--AND, if you purchase it
between now and May 31, you get a $50 rebate from Canon!! I bought mine
from a store called CompUSA, and the price now is $340. I have a friend
who has the HP you are looking at. It also prints very well, and everyone
has drivers for it, BUT it is VERY slow!
Hope I helped!
(360dpi sure looks great!)

I guess I have some experience with both: I have a BJ-300 at work and a
Deskjet 500 at home. I prefer the Deskjet. The printing speed and quality
are similar (I tested both with text and graphics before buying the Deskjet
for home). The feature that sets the Deskjet apart is the driver support
in so many applications. The BJ ends up emulating the Epson LQ or IBM
Proprinter to get it to work with many non-windows apps and this will be
the case for a long time. The design is superior if you just want to use
cut paper, the Deskjet is quieter, AND the ink cartridges are quite a bit
cheaper due to the number of Deskjets out there in comparision to the BJs.
Just my $0.02 worth..

Yes, there is the landscape mode printing problem, but it does not
present a problem in Windows as the Windows printer driver handles the
translation. I actually thought of some other points after I posted the
note. The Deskjet has an unprintable area of approximately .5inch around
the paper the Bubblejet does not. You are right about the graphics
resolutions, I tested the printers with the applications I had access to:
Wordperfect, Harvard Graphics, WinGIF, Paintshop PRO, and Paintbrush and
could not tell a difference. In fact one of the HP Deskjet Windows drivers
gives you significant control over the contrast and density of the printer
hence controlling the amount of ink you put down. The Bubblejet did not.
I had no imaging software to test the printers with and so had no
comparision there. Finally, I wanted sheet feeding. In that configuration
the Bubblejet cost approximately $100 more than the Deskjet.
I went through a pretty thorough evaluation and chose the Deskjet when I
spent my own money. BTW, I am replacing the BJ-300 with a Deskjet 500 at
work this month anyway.

===========================================================================
I spent some time comparing the two. We ended up getting the Bubblejet
BJ-200 versus the HP. Our reasons were:
1) The HP seemed to have worse banding than the Canon
2) 360dpi versus 300 - we felt we could see the difference
3) Price - Canon has a $50 rebate program going on at the moment.
The BJ-200 was our choice over the BJ-10ex - we could have 100 pages in the
BJ-200 feeder. The BJ-10ex holds only 30 pages, I think.
As you can see, up to 100 pages on the BJ-200. We haven't done anything
big with the BJ, but its performance seems reasonable under Windows. I
know that the Microsoft BBS has a newer windows driver than comes with the
printer, but I don't know how it compares (also the driver included with
the printer is Canon's whereas I don't know where the Microsoft BBS one
comes from - Microsoft?)
Hope this helps.

Altough I'm sometimes also a salesperson (if I'm not suppost to study :-))
I would recommend to buy the BJ200. The printing quality is a bit better,
but you you've got much more possiblities. Don't forget the HP engine is at
least 2 years on the marked, the Canon engine (witch is also used in
other "new" bubblejet printers like e.g. the Epson ones) is quite recently
available..
I've seen during a short demonstration (from someone who tryed to sell me
Canon printers) 2 times the same picture, one printed with the BJ200, one
with the Canon, the other with the HP, and.. there was a difference in
printing- quality,.. The Canon was a bit better..

When we decided we needed quiet printers in our hospital we looked to
inkjet printers. They have near laser quality, speed, and they are quiet.
We use both HP Deskjets and the Canon BJ-200s. I prefer the paper handling
qualities of the Deskjets but I feel the Canons have superior print
quality. The Ideal would be a Canon with a sheet feeder, however I did end
up buying a deskjet for home use (got too good a deal). Anyway, we are
using Canons in high volume areas and they are holding up very well. Out
of 15 Deskjets and 4 BJ-200s I have only had one problem with a deskjet and
that was taken care of very quickly by HP.

Whenever I buy anything I look at what the "experts" say, pick out the top
few and then buy on whatever criteria are the most apt. I've been
unusually flush lately (no begging letter please) and so I've done this a
few times including - about four months ago - with inkjet printers.
I can't remember much about the process except that I read about three
reviews of inkjets and that the 500 was always at or near the top. I
bought the 500C because of the added dimension of colour (I intend to build
a multi- media machine at some stage and have just bought a colour scanner
towards that). Although I haven's used the colour thing in earnest yet I
tried it out on a couple of Windows bitmaps and I was pleased with the
result.
I note that even though you can now get the 550C (the one with both colour
and mono with no need to change the cartridge), the 500C and 500 are still
readily available (at least in the UK). The following are my
views/experience:
1. I don't know anything about the Canon except that I came away
from reviews (and replies to a posting similar to yours) with
the idea that the HP offered the best performance/price ratio.
2. I believe HP are the originals in the field - not always the
ideal place to be but the market's still young so one assumes
they have the expertise.
3. The 500C is worth the extra. Operation in mono is perfectly
acceptable and I get good crisp reproduction of fonts from
Windows.
4. I used to work for Monotype when they still manufactured
typesetters (before their AMERICAN owners closed them down!)
and I can tell you that in terms of definition 300 dpi is
pretty poor anyway so 360 dpi is just a bit less poor...
5. The HP comes with a reasonable set of drivers.
6. If you buy it invest in the additional RAM pack - it's pretty
slow with it, God knows what it's like without!
I actually work in Germany and my PC is home in the UK so it's not in daily
use. I would say that apart from my not reading the manual properly and
having a really dumb problem at the start it's easy peasy to operate.
Hope this is of use.

Just bought the BJ-200. I thought the price couldn't be beat ($329, with
$50 rebate thru 5/31) and so far it is comparable, even superior, to the
DeskJet in print quality.
Speed: Per page rate seems to be faster (I don't have figures).
I don't print long docs, though.
Quality: I think the graphics quality is excellent. Print quality is
excellent as well, unless you use small fonts and hold it up
close; you can see a lot more "jaggies" than on a LaserJet.
The 360 dpi is offset by a little less accuracy in holding the
page/print head in place, I would imagine.
Large docs: Not room in the standard model for a whole lotta pages ...
manual says up to 100, though. Haven't tried it.
Drivers: No problems under Win3.1 yet. WinWord doesn't want to print
the envelopes the same way the Canon does, though.
Know nothing of add-on costs.

I just bought a BJ-200 printer a couple of days ago. I compared it to the
sample print of an HP DeskJet 500 and knew that the HP wasn't for me. The
BJ-200 is pretty fast and really prints with good quality. I can compare
it with the HP LaserJet IIID PostScript and they look almost identical (
depending on the kind of paper). I don't have problems with the ink not
being dry, it seems to dry VERY fast. Probably within a second. Since
Canon is giving a $50 rebate until the end of May, it is really a good buy.

Wow, it's funny you should ask this. I'm a little behind in news reading
so I know this may be late.
I just purchased the Canon Bubblejet last night. I was really worried
that I wouldn't like it but the print quality, and noise level is
fantastic! I printed quite a few documents with lots of graphics and it
printed DAMN near laser quality. You can't tell it's not laser unless you
get 2 inches from the page.
no problems with drivers. The printer came with the driver diskette
which is good because I was beginning to panic when I couldn't findi it
under Windows or WordPerfect. It works well under both. I have yet to
install Word for Windows so don't know how it works with them.
I had a DeskJet 500 at work last year. It was a good printer as well ut
I felt it was awfully slow. And much noisier than the BubbleJet. I won't
say the BubbleJet is MUCH better, but I really do like it more. Just my
$0.02 worth.

Larry King Live was both telling and sickening. Every other word
out of Janet REno's mouth was "the little children" ,etc. Sounded
like Clinton talking. She made claims that the children were
beaten, etc, DESPITE the pronouncements of social workers that none
of the children who left the compound were abused. But the REAL
crime:
Larry King, and his censored show. NOT ONE FUCKING QUESTION
about Reno's possible error. Just two calls about how she
had made a "good decision". Now, it doesn't take a rocket
scientist to figure out that SOME people are going to be upset.

Once again, this posting has been delayed for about a week by falling
between some software cracks...
[Here follows an introduction to the controversial incident, and an
apologetic explanation purporting to show why it couldn't actually
have happened. The historicity of the episode doesn't matter to what
follows]
I don't know whether I'm quoting Gregg or Zakaria below. Anyway, back
to current affairs,
Among others; this incident is not something Rushdie or Watt or anyone
else dug up from nowhere, it is a well known story, a myth if you
will, known (according to Umar Khan) to "Every Muslim school boy and
girl", and so presumably to Rushdie, and to Gibreel Farishta.
Yes, this is what writing fiction is all about. Rushdie was writing
about a crisis of faith, and chose this myth to present it, by placing
the actor "Gibreel" in the role of the angel whose name he took.
Rushdie was not writing a history or theology book, and nowhere claims
or implies that this is what actually happened. It's somewhat like
stories woven around the relationship between Jesus and the reformed
prostitute Mary Magdalene (another myth). Or those referring to the
Arthurian mythos, or the Grail legend, or the Wandering Jew, or dozens
of others. If you can stand to read the work of a blasphemer,
consider Salman Rushdie's children's book "Haroun and the Sea of
Stories" for an idea of the way a storyteller -- a specific
storyteller -- works with existing story lines.
No. Muhammad's [Mahound's] integrity is not really impugned in this
part of the story, and there's no reason to think this was Rushdie's
intent: Gibreel, as the archangel, produces the verses (divine and
satanic), though he doesn't know their provenance. It is not implied
(in a straight reading) that Muhammad influences them:
" *Not my voice* I'd never know such words I'm no classy speaker
never was never will be but this isn't my voice it's a Voice.
Mahound's eyes open wide, he's seeing some kind of vision,
staring at it, oh, that's right, Gibreel remembers, me. He's
seeing me. My lips moving, being moved by. What, whom? Don't
know, can't say. Nevertheless, here they are, coming out of my
mouth, up my throat, past my teeth: the Words.
Being God's postman is no fun, yaar.
Butbutbut: God isn't in this picture.
God knows whose postman I've been."
It's ambiguous: is Mahound somehow manipulating Gibreel? Is it Satan?
Or something else? The answer is not given.
To be sure, the question is raised. This novel explores faith and the
role of revelation in religion, among other things. Addressing loss
of faith implicitly raises questions about the truth of revelation,
but this novel proposes no answers, at least not directly. The very
existence of a newsgroup named "alt.atheism" raises the same
questions, more forcefully, and does propose some answers, which is
the real relevance. If Rushdie's mild fictional exploration is "filth
and lies", and he "asked for what he got", are we next on the fatwa
list? (That's a rhetorical question, of course.)

Convenient? It seems very appropriate that this is cross-posted to
alt.conspiracy.
Assuming the most favorable interpretation of your '1000 degree'
measurement (that the temperature is in Centigrade, rather than the
more common -in the US- Fahrenheit), you are still laboring under at
least 2 misconceptions:
1. You seem to believe that steel melts somewhere around 1000 C.
Actually, the melting point of most iron alloys (and steels are
iron alloys) is in the neighborhood of 1400 C. Even if the gun
were found in area which achieved the 1000 C temperature, the steel
parts of the gun would not be deformed, and it would still be
trivial to identify the nature of the weapon.
2. A fire is not an isothermal process. There are 'hot' spots and
'cold' spots, though 'cold' is purely a relative term. So the
weapon was not necessarily situated in a hot spot, as you seem to
imply. And, even if it was, so what? It would not have melted
anyway.

I understood that there are two methods to connect application code to widgets:
callbacks and actions
The problem I face now is that I have a quite long piece of application code
that performs a lot of drawing into a window. I want to connect this to a
widget. No problem so far. I could use a callback function or an action to do this, processing any events afterwards.
But because the drawing takes some while, I want the application code sequence
to be able to be interrupted by events. Then I want to handle the events
and resume with processing the application code at the point it was
interrupted.
It seems to me that this isn't possible, but how can I give the user the
impression that his inputs are immediately processed ?
Has anybody an idea?
Please answer via e-mail.
Thanks in advance.

I have two SCSI hard drives, each has 512KB of 'cache'.
There several reasons for this :-
When the drive has read requested data from the disk the SCSI bus may be
busy. This data needs to be stored some where until the bus is free and
the data can be transmitted.
When the drive receives data to be written, the data can come down the bus
faster than the drive can write it to the disk. It needs to be stored
somewhere while the disk is writing it out.
In these situations the memory is being used as a buffer NOT a cache!
May be the drive does some read-adead caching as well...

Excuse me? Quality? As in grade A CO2 and grade B CO2? I may not have
this quite right but I was under the impression that CO2 was CO2.
Furthermore,
A) There is no reason to believe this system is inherently stable-
The Ice ages occured without any help from humans.
B) The point was that the human contribution of CO2 and other
greenhouse gasses is insignificant and it won't really make a difference if
we make more or less.
C) What overwhelming data? I see lots of 'projections' of the future,
which is fascinating, considering they can't predict the weather two weeks
in advance.

Hello,
I have some problem in converting tga file(generated by POVray) to
rle file. When I convert, I do not get any warning message. But
if I use xloadimage/getx11, something is wrong.
Error messages are,
% targatorle -o o.rle data.tga
% xloadimage o.rle
o.rle is a 0x0 24 bit RLE image with no map (will dither to 8 bits), with gamma of 1.00
Dithering image...done
Building XImage...done
xloadimage: X Error: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) on 0x0
xloadimage: X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) on 0xb00003
......
I know that I need to install ppmtorle and tgatoppm, but I do not spend
time to install them. Even I do not want to generate .rgb from POVray
and then convert them to rle, if possible.(.rgb to rle works, but
it will mess up my directory with so many files, and it needs 2 more
steps to finally convert to rle file. say cat | rawtorle | rleflip )
Does any body out there have same experience/problems ?
Thanks in advance,

Speaking of SIGGRAPH, I just went through the ordeal of my annual registration
for SIGGRAPH and re-upping of membership in the ACM last night, and was I ever
grossed out! The new prices for membership are almost highway robbery!
For example:
SIGGRAPH basic fee went from $26 last year to $59 this year for the same
thing, a 127% increase. Those facile enough to arrange a trip to the
annual conference could reduce this to $27 by selecting SIGGRAPH Lite,
which means SIGGRAPH is charging an additional $32 (or so) for the
proceedings and the art show catalog, essentially.
TOPLAS went up 40% in cost, way outstripping the current inflation rate.
Basic SIGCHI fees remainded the same, but whereas before SIGCHI
membership included UIST and Human Factors conferences proceedings,
these are now an extra cost option. Bundling that back into the basic
rate, equivalent services have gone up 100% in cost.
SIGOIS membership cost has up 33%, but they've also split out the
Computer Supported Cooperative Work conference proceedings that used to
be included with membership. Adding that cost back in means this SIG
also has doubled its membership fee.
What really galls me is that the ACM sent out brochures a couple months ago
touting their new approach to providing member services, and tried to make it
sound like they were offering NEW services. But with the exception of a couple,
like SIGGRAPH, all the "plus" services appear to be just splitting the costs
into smaller piles so that they don't look so big. But their recommended
changes to my membership would have me paying 90% more than last year for a 31%
increase in services (measured by cost, not by value), and, curiously, a 31%
inflation rate on the publications I got last year.
Is anyone out there as galled by this extortion as I am?

: Oh? Then why did the smoke and flames start from three different places?
: In particular, three different places where there were no APV's?
The crushed remains of a PRESSURIZED propane tank were found in the ruins
of the BD compound. The key word is PRESSURIZED. When that baby was
crushed, the gas would have gone all over the place. And when ignited,
would look just like the pictures of the explosion we saw on the TV
news. Ammo doesn't go up all at once - kind of like fireworks going off.
Propane gas goes off in a big fireball. Gee, that's kind of consistent
with what the pictorial history shows. Hmmmmm...
: And if the government did start the fire, then why weren't people trying
: to get out of the compound?
Remember, PRESSURIZED gas. People all over the building.
Conflagration in less than a minute. Huge explosion. Gas masks being
worn by the inhabitants. Makes a lot of sense that very few of those
on the inside would even know that the tank was damaged. If they
thought it was just a normal fire, they would probably be trying to
put it out. Then - BOOM - the fireball. After that explosion and
concussion, I doubt anybody on the inside of the building was capable
of moving.
: And besides... oh, I don't know why I'm even bothering.
Good question. Take an objective look at what happened, listen to the
things that the FBI said ("The BD's started the fire." "The BD's bodies
were found with gunshot wounds.") that are now being refuted by the
evidence being recovered. Seems that the FBI is deliberately making
statements that have no rational basis in fact, and trying to make
them sound like fact.
: I find it tremendously chilling that so many people seem eager to believe
: a murderous, heavily-armed religious cult, despite much evidence to the
: contrary. Thought Experiment: Suppose this exact same thing happened under
: the Bush administration. What would your answer be then? Would you still
: prefer to believe the cultists?
Yes, I would still believe that the FBI and the BATF were on a non-stop
string of lies and half-truths. This is consistent with their operations
on numerous occasions.
And as for the BD's being murderous, they did not cause any problems until
they were assaulted by the BATF. So now a thought experiment for you: If
the BATF had never stormed that farm, would four agents and 90 BD's be
dead today?
: (No, I don't really expect a response to that challenge.)
: >But then
: >again, that is how Mr. Clinton was elected, by people who believe that
: >his campaign promisses would be respected by him once he got into office.
: Um, isn't that how all politicians are elected?
Yes. That is how politicians are elected. Kind of scary, isn't it. Now
if we as a people actually held Mr. Clinton to his promises instead of
apologizing and denying that he ever made them, and actually expected
accountability by our government, I doubt that debacles like Waco would
happen as often as they do.

Acutally, no. THe BATF has a rather checkered history of staging raids of
this sort just prior to the time when their budget comes up for review.
Oddly enough, their budget was about to be reviewed just two weeks after
the initial raid on the BD's. "Coincidence? I think not!"
And as for the fire, what happened was caused by the act of knocking over
walls with an armored vehicle of destruction. The FBI tried to convince
the world it was suicide, but all of the facts that are coming out by
the investigation of the Texas rangers and medical examiners point to
a gas explosion and quick fire that decimated all of the occupants of the
building. Sounds to me like a law enforcement agency that is trying to
cover its ass.

If the clutch is in, then a large chunk of counter-rotating mass is not
rotating. Hence, at a light, reving makes it twist. Shaft effect is the
rear end rising under power or (the real problem) getting lower to the road
when the throttle is snapped shut (say when you are cornering and the heads
are real close to the road). New GS bikes with the paralever shaft have
almost no shaft effect.
It's a question of how long you spend at low RPM and how much you need the
extra light. At low RPM, 3K and under, they don't charge all that much if
at all. The alternators put out sufficient wattage, it just that you need
to be at 4K RPM to get it.
Full choke. Open the gas taps. Hit the starter and ever so slightly blip the
throttle. It should fire. Cranking should be done with minimal throttle.
My R100 likes the throttles to be raised just a bit off idle.
It's an EXPERIENCE thing. Like Zen, it's hard to describe. It can be hard
to learn if you aren't paying atttention to the differences between success
and failure. Especially if you get really pissed off and flatten the
battery while trying to get it to run.
If my bike has been sitting for a few weeks, I give it a short while to
start. If it doesn't, I turn it off and wait a few minutes for things to
vaporize in the fuel system and then it lights right off. I've got dual
plugs which make it easier to start.
The BIG fix is the Bing carb upgrade kit. It's good for a few MPG and the
parts are alcohol proof. The parts it replaces aren't alcohol proof. As
long as the bike isn't going to sit for long periods of time, gasohol is
nice since it helps keep ping away. If your bike doesn't ping on cheap gas
you ought to raise the compression! (Half a smiley, the BMW twins of the
80s and beyond have lowered compression to keep the EPA happy. Dual plugs
and higher compression give back a big chunk of the lost perfomance).

I would like to find out about the ADB connector on the back of the
macintosh powerbooks.
After seeing several products that use it for powering devices
on the powerbook I also thought up of something to power from
the ADB connector (the keyboard/mouse connector)
Does anyone have spex on it.... I know it has voltage on it
and a serial i/o of some sort if some kind soul could tell
me the way you talk to the mac through it (ie packet info)
IT would BE APPRECIATED GREATLY!!!!!
on a second note, What are the pin outs of the
MAC powerbook modem connector .. I have would like to
know which pins are +5V, data ETC...
AGAIN THANKS!

In many of our cities, there are traffic signals every 100 feet (unsynchronised,
of course (well here in Ottawa anyway)) and the roads are so congested that
shifting manually is a real pain in the left foot. Also, most Canadians are
too stupid to learn how to shift manually (gee, I gotta co-ordinate my two
feet on the clutch, brake _and_ accelerator, and I gotta steer, shift _and_
operate the signals (optional) and radio with my two hands... duh... it
can't be done). Also, most North American made cars come with the automatic
as standard equipment, so why bother with a manual when the car can shift
for you for no addition money.

I grew up listening to Harry Carey call the Cardinals' games and

More than Talk: From the FCC Rules: 73.4250 Subliminal Perception:
(a) See Public Notice, FCC 74-78, dated January 24, 1974, 44 FCC 2d, 1016; 39
Fr 3714, January 29, 1974.
(b) See FCC Information Bulletin, "Subliminal Projection" (sic, at least in my
rules service copy of the rules), dated November 1977.
Since I don't have either old copies of the Federal Register or the Information
Bulletin around, I can't tell you what you can't do on TV ( or radio) but I
seem to remember this being an unnecisarily hot subject in the late '70s.
Practically speaking, I dont have too much trouble seeing the one frame edits
in MTV promos, badly scratched or torn single frames in films and such, but
maby that's just because the contrast between the single frame and the
surrounding material was significant. I never believed in the one-frame type
of SP being real.
On the other hand, the Coca-Cola or Brand (insert desired name here) beer cans
conveniently placed so the brand name is visible in the movie you just watched,
that's another story, and if your TV station or network was paid by the beer
company for the privilege of doing that, there has to be a "Promotional
Consideration paid by ...) or similar message included with the program; but if
the TV station bought the movie already edited that way from the film company
and didn't get any of the payment for "brand visibility" that the film company
got, then they don't have to run the message.

A few months ago, in one the the motorcycle mags, there was
an article that mentioned reflector tape that was supposed to
be available thru BMW. The idea was that the tape would look
black in sunlight, and reflect in other colors at night to
headlights. It sounded like a nice way to add nighttime
visibility without turning the bike into a carnival attraction.
I talked to the local BMW dealer about this. I was told that the
only thing he had heard about this kind of reflector, was it being
used in a coming line of BMW clothing (rainsuits). He wasn't aware
of anything regarding self applied tape.
Has anyone come across this from BMW or any other source?
Thanks,

Cute anecdote, but hardly indicative of the population. From the responses
I've received to that post (all from men, by the way) I get the impression
that unless a person is willing to drop down and masturbate whenever the
need or desire strikes, then that person is very hung up on sex.
With tv programs about "boobs" (Seinfeld) and "masturbation (again Seinfeld)
and with condoms being handed out in high schools and with the teenage
pregnancy rate and the high abortion rate here in the States, I would
not assume that we American's are frightened of sex. Rather we are a bit
stupid about it. Healthy sexuality does not require flamboyance or
promiscuity. It requires responsibility.

Well, I tried this method based on responses from several people. Either
I am a klutz(probable) or they have changed the connector. I ended up having
to destroy the connector, put heat shrink tubing on the individual pins and
then plug them into the SB connector in the correct order. It works great
this way so this turned out just fine. It certainly sounded easy based on
other people's experiences but my attempts did not go too well...

I have been using a HDS X-terminal, and really like it. What
is really powerful is that it can run the X server without
running a window manager. One can then run a special client
X program called a window manager, either (1) run
motif or openlook from it's own firmware (limiting the network
traffic - but having no HOME). or (2) run motif or openlook
from some home place (like a sparc, or vms).
This is powerful, especially since I can exit one window manager
(without killing windows) and then start up another manager.
(Some of my VMS tools need special meta-mouse combos that work in
one manager and not the other).
Well the question is:
On a sparcstation running openlook, does anyone know how to
break apart olwm from the olwm_slave program? Basically I
want to run only the server, and go somewhere else to run
the window manager.

Please respond my e-mail (as well as posting) because of the
large volumes in window.X)

That's expected. The first sentence describing the bitmap resource in the
MenuButton section of the "Athena Widget Set - C Language Interface"
documentation states
bitmap A bitmap to display instead of the label.
One way round this might be to make use of the button's backgroundPixmap
resource, but remember that you, or a user of your application, won't be able
to set it from a resource file. Also, the button won't automatically be the
size of the bitmap. The bitmap will be tiled if necessary, or you could set the
button's dimensions to match its size.

Major League Baseball is trying to expand its appeal to people with shorter
attention spans (i.e. the football crowd). (-: Invariably, all the
arguments from people who don't like to watch baseball on T.V. say the
same thing: the games are too long and too boring. Baseball is trying
to find a way to shorten the games for wider T.V. appeal. If you look at
it, though, baseball games last around the same amount of time as football
games. The difference is that there is "more action" in that duration in
football games. Perhaps if there were "more action" in baseball games, you
would get more of those fans to tune in. Anyway, coming up with a solution
to make baseball more appealing to a bigger crowd is going to be difficult.
[On soapbox] Yet another reason to get a commisioner NOW since it's obvious

[Someone quoted the following. I've removed the name because it's not
clear which name goes with which level of quote. --clh]
On the basis of these examples I would say that Joe Moore was only wrong
in claiming Augustine as a prime mover of the sin=sex view. These quotes
clearly equate sexuality with defilement and incontinance, even within
the marriage relationship (else they would not apply to Mary after her marriage
to Joseph).
So Joe's assignment of the reasoning behind the concept of the perpetual
virginity of Mary does seem to be supported by these quotes.

The color of the board shows the composition of it, hence the use of it.
Original and older boards were bakelite composition, and were brown.
Phenolic (spelling) was a tan
Most "non filled" fiberglass boards used in computers are green.
Filled fiberglass is blue.
Teflon is white.
As boards evolved more and more demands were made of them. First boards were
used mainly in audio circuitry. Couldn't be used in high voltage or RF because
it would arc and burn. Most boards today are fiberglass, the type being chosen
by its use and cost.
Boards in satellite and microwave communication are teflon (and ceramic) as the
fiberglass, and other boards are conductive (they actually work more as a
capacitive dialectric, but the word conductive simplifies explaination) at the
high frequencies.
Another printed circuit material used mainly in automotive and interconnections
is a thin flexible (mostly mylar) material and is used to connect the front of
the vehicle (etc) to the back instead of wiring harnesses. Camcorders use this
to intereconnect the boards inside where wires would be a nuisance.
Am working on a generator made by Hewlet Packard right now and the entire board
is gold plated, boy it looks expensive!!!
Hope I got most of my facts right as I am working from memory of material read.
My education was pre-transister!

can't I do what I want? Who are they to decide? What if I disagree?
Good point, but it is being immoral in our opinion. We don't let them choose,
we make the decision that their actions are wrong for them.
For someone to lay claim to an alternative
I admit to lean toward the idea of an innate moral sense, but have little basis
for it as of yet. How far can such a concept be extended?
and
Do you mean that we could say it would be wrong for us to do such a thing but
not him. After all, he was behaving morally in his own eyes and doing what he
chose. On what basis do we condemn other societies besides, here's the buzz
words, on the idea that there are some actions wrong for all humans in all
societies?
Holding that morality is subjective does not mean
Why not? Do we have to be objective suddenly?

You've asked a toughie of a question. There are many different drugs which
are used for chemotherapy.
The overall purpose of chemotherapy (don't worry about the spelling. Some of
these crazy medical words are impossible to spell! :-) is to either destroy
cancer cells or to keep them from growing. Different drugs have different
effects on cancer cells, and therefore, it is not uncommon to use more than
one drug at a time.
Some chemotherapeutic drugs are effective anytime during the growth cycle
of a cell. Others work only at specific times during the cell cycle.
The first phase of the cell cycle is G1; it is when the protein synthesis
and RNA systhesis occurs. In the second phase, S, synthesis of DNA occurs.
The third phase is G2; The DNA splits and RNA and protein are synthesized
aagain. In the fourth phase, M (or Mitosis), the cell may divide.
There are drugs which are effective in each phase. Some stop DNA synthesis.
Others stop the cell from dividing. Others wreck protein synthesis.
At any rate, the end result that is being sought is for the cancer cells
to stop growing.
If what you are seeking is "practical" advice, I apologize for rambling
on the techno stuff. Some side effects are pretty common. Chemo. drugs
are rather nasty. It can cause a person to lose their appetite and to
experience nausea and vomiting. Things to help this include eating small
frequent meals. It is also suggested that if nausea/vomiting (hereafter
known as n/v) occurs that the person notify the doctor; there are medicines
tthat help nausea. Diarrhea can be an effect. Antidiarrheal medications
can be given, and good skincare and fluid intake are important.
Probably the one of biggest concsern is hair loss. This does not always
happen. It depends on what drugs are being given, and on the person
themself. Different people taking the same drug can and do have different
side effects. I have seen some literature which states that wearing a snug
headband and/or wearing an ice cap can help reduce hair loss, presumably
by reducing blood flow to the scalp. If anyone has seen research on this
too, I would love to see it, and possibly some bib data.
I highly recommend making contact with the American Cancer Society.
They have a vast selection of literature and information. In addition,
if your friend has had a mastectomy, I highly recommend "Reach for Recovery".
It is a support group comprised entirely of women who have lost a breast
because of cancer. They can offer some excellent support and suggestions.
If you have further questions, please send me E-mail. I hav some good
access to information, and I enjoy trying to help other people.

Perry is right on target here. Careful analysis of the Clipper Chip
announcement reveals that is *not* likely to remain "voluntary" for
very long...the cost of the system, the cost of generating and _then
storing_ the escrow keys, and the admitted security holes pretty much
make the ClipperPhone a loser.
Strong crypto will outcompete it, if strong crypto is allowed. This is
the battle we face.
We had rumblings of this totalitarian key registration thing a while
back, and now the other shoe has dropped. The firestorm of commentary
and criticism this time around reveals the almost immediate revulsion
this Wiretap Chip (and automatic Caller ID and Callee ID, don't
forget!) generates in everyone, or almost everyone, who hears about
it.
This is a battle we can't afford to lose.

Yea, I think not also. Israel's #1 issue is "Security" so *any* outcomes
of "negotiation" certainly need to address ISREAL'S perception of this
issue.
The problem is is defining (by "outsiders", by Israel, and by the Arabs
themselves) what is the #1 issue to the Arab side. Is it "Palestinian
statehood", is it that Israel as a state should not and must not be
allowed to exist, is it that the existence of a self-governing non-
muslim "state" in the "Islamic World" is intolerable...what? Just as
the dividing line between Israel-fighting-for-security and Israel-fighting-
to-expand is often hard to discern by "outsiders" (especially to the Arab
world), so the rationale behind the Arab-struggle-to-undermine-Israel-in-
any-way could either be based on visceral rejectionism or a sense of being
wronged that still values peace, who knows which.
Anyway, in these talks, what "gestures" would you think would be seen
by Israel as "substantial"?

And Fleury is no enforcer. An agitator for sure, but Fleury never has and never

The closest Fleury ever came to fighting was a game two years ago against
Los Angeles. There was a scrum and McSorley pinched Fleury's head under his
arm. Fleury dropped his gloves and gave McSorley a weak shot to the side of the
head. McSorely, knowing a good thing when he saw one, popped Fleury one right
between the eyes. End of fight. Fleury got ten stitches for his trouble.
The only player I can ever see Theo fighting is Cliff Ronning, and even then

a column titled "how to contact us" but being silly PCheads they seem
to have never heard of the Internet.

I'm looking to buy the annual Playboy magazine issue featuring
girls from colleges around the US. Specificly, I want issues from
1989, 1990, 1991 and 1992. One of these features a girl I went to
high school with, so I'm curious to see how it turned out. All help
is appreciated.

I wish I caught the original post, but anyway ...
The problem is that the Plus's poor old power supply (sometimes referred to as
the analog sweep board) is on its way out. Apart from a board swap (bikkies to
Apple), there's not much the average Joe can do to fix it.
You can, of course, try and re-adjust the voltage levels (the 5v rail should
be as close to 5v as you cn get it) but this is more often than not a
temporary fix. A copy of Larry Pina's "Macntosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets" is a
worthwhile investment for the serious do-it-yaself-er.

ATA TO CINCINNATI
I have a friend who has one ticket from ATLANTA to CIN, OH. It is one seat

It is currently in a woman's name. She does not need to fly back. Need to
sell the ticket. Flyer would go standby because ticket is dated. Asking $90.
I am posting this for my friend. Please do not email responses to me.
Instead contact Rick at 513-271-4169.

How are you, Everybody?
I installed X11R5 on our IBM RS6000 workstation. OS version is AIX 3.2.3.
There was no problem in installation.
But there was a problem in invoking 'xinit'.
When I invoke 'xinit', there is a error message as follows:
giving up.
xinit: unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
I'm a navice. So I don't know the reason why I get this message.
Please help me. I am waiting for your help.
Thanks for reading this mail.

Gosh, I have to associate with heterosexuals against my will every day!
That means you've imposed your moral codes on me, now doesn't it?
Fortunately, I have taken the time to get to know some members
of the het community and discovered that, hey! They really AREN'T all evil
elitists with no concept of reality!
I've got a few clues for you. (a) I'm not working to pass any laws. (b)
Our morals are YOUR morals: I imagine you value freedom. So do we. If you
value your own freedom, you must necessarily accept that these laws are
important to protect it. After all, discriminate in one area and you're
open to discriminate in the rest. (c) I suggest learning a bit more about
gays, lesbians, and bis before you post the kind of drivel you have been.
It's obvious that you haven't a clue who you're talking about.
But not between members of the same sex, right? How can you live with such
hypocrisy?
