Does anyone know how to configure a DOS app in Progman
so that only one instance of it can be running at a time?
I'd really appreciate some help on how to do this. I
would prefer responses through email if it's not a big
deal, or at least through email _as well as_ posting.
Thank you!

It looks like Ben Baz's mind and heart are also blind, not only his eyes.
I used to respect him, today I lost the minimal amount of respect that
I struggled to keep for him.
To All Muslim netters: This is the same guy who gave a "Fatwah" that
Saudi Arabia can be used by the United Ststes to attack Iraq . That
Fatwah is as legitimate as this one. With that kind of "Clergy", it might
be an Islamic duty to separate religion and politics, if religion
means "official Clergy".

I will tell you another secret. I get this burning sensation in my
hand every time I hold it over a candle. The pain does not fill my entire
body, and I'm told the longer I hold it here, the less it'll hurt (it'll
eventually burn up the nerves, or so I'm told). So I suppose I should just
ignore the pain, because holding my hand over the candle is something I just
want to do. I've got the right, don't I?
Your body feels pain to let you know something is wrong. It's your body's
alarm system informing you that something needs your attention.
A fever tells you that you are sick, and need some sort of care.
Guilt can be seen as that "emotional or spiritual" alarm, just informing you
that there is something that you've done that "requires your attention".
It doesn't require a "personality type" to become a believer. It requires
someone who is willing to listen to themselves, their body & soul.

For several years all I knew is I really liked having sex with as many women

I didn't care that I was putting each one of them at risk (as well as their

Was it just me, or did it look like Hirschbeck pointed to
the 3B umpire before calling that strike? I thought that's
why Gant was asking for the appeal to the 1st base umpire;
he thought Hirschbeck had gotten checked-swing help from the wrong
umpire.
After Hirschbeck called for the pitch, but before the pitch was thrown,
Cox came onto the field. It was obvious that he was trying to get time
called before the pitch, but no one was watching.
Your listing pretty much agreed with what I saw, with the aforementioned
addendums. Perhaps it appeared differently at the ballpark. Personally,
I was amazed that Gant didn't get ejected. But that's why Cox did;
it's called protecting your players.
And to those people who would have thrown everyone out of the game,
all I can say is that you'd be making baseball history. Even in
the worst baseball brawls, usually only the major instigators are
ejected, not everyone who comes onto the field. And I'd have to
say that those brawls are considerably more threatening to the game
than what the Braves did Fri. night.
Anyhow, that's my last two cents on the subject, barring
outrageous postings. I will try to keep my eyes open
for more incidents involving Hirschbeck. I think there will
be some with other teams as well. I hope not.

A more important question is:
"will subsequent OS/2 versions continue to run apps
from subsequent Windows versions in the future?"

But neither of them claimed to have experimental evidence that proved
them right. In a similar vein, there is as yet no experimental evidence
for supersymmetric particles; so some physicists believe in them, and
some don't -- but all agree that either there is an objectively true
answer to the question.

Hey, joe -- assuming you're old enough to remember it -- how did you feel
about presidential responsibility every time Reagan said "I don't recall"
about his arms-for-hostages meetings with the Ollie North gang?
How did you feel about it when Bush said he "was out of the loop on that
decision" when he was right there in the thick of it?
Oh, right. "He was responsible in the sense that he was briefed, but so
what -- shit happens!" Is that what you said?

Meta-exegesis: Conviction of Sin, part II
Let me return to the question, stipulating that Paul meant his use of
_arseonkoitai_ to refer more or less exactly to the Levitical prohibition
of male-male sex. In order to bring out the problems most clearly, I'll
also stipulate (what I think is far less plausible) that Paul coined the
term for this usage. The question I want to turn to is what that would
mean for Paul's readers and for later Christians. This should be shorter
than my last note, as we will see that this question rapidly confronts us
with some of the major divisions within Christ's body, and I am not trying
to open the gates for flames across any of the terrible chasms that
separate any of us from our fellow Christians. My own biases (loosely
characterizable as "liberal") will be evident, but I am not grinding an
axe here, so much as trying to get all parties to see that it may be HARD
to reach "closure" when the issues involved strike at the heart of what we
each, in our own different ways, see as crucial to the Gospel of Christ.
So; stipulating Paul's intent, the immediate question is: HOW CAN HIS
READERS UNDERSTAND this intent? And following on that question, there is
a second one: WHAT IS OUR PROPER ACTION if we *do* manage to understand him?
Since Paul gives not a single clue about his meaning in the text of 1st
Corinthians, there are two "positive" answers and one "negative" to this
question:
+ a. Paul (or Apollos, or someone) in the apostolic community has
conveyed to the Corinthians the then-traditional Jewish condem-
nation of homosexual behavior, and Paul expects them to be
sufficiently well-tutored by this tradition that he needs no
futher explanation. [I should note that there is no evidence
in the letter, or in 2 Corinthians for such a supposition :-)]
+ b. The Spirit will teach us what Paul means (or, if not Paul,
what God means "behind" Paul's inspired word-choice.)
- c. We *don't* know, and cannot guess to within any better pre-
cision here than, for comparison, in the parallel use by Paul,
in the same passage of the word _pleonektai_ ("those who have
more" -- if you think that _areseonkoitai_ is "obvious" from
its roots, try cutting your teeth on *this* word! The NEB
translates it as "grabbers") or even _methusoi_ ("drunkards"
-- at least this has the advantage of being a common insult,
so that at least there is *some* hint as to its meaning!)
The three positions more or less -- if I can be allowed some exaggeration
for the sake of argument -- define a classical Catholic attitude towards
tradition, one form of Protestant _sola scriptura_, and a liberal/critical
demand for evidence. All three positions have strengths and weaknesses.
_ad_ a: It is unquestionable that the gospel was preached in and by the
community of Christ's disciples and their successors, and that
our NT scripture itself emerges from this communal tradition.
But it's also the case that we know little or nothing about this
tradition until almost a century after Paul, which is to say that
we have access to the tradition only after several generations of
possibly confused transmission. The scripture is itself our only
documentation of the tradition in the critical era.
_ad_ b: If we are NOT born of water and Spirit [to revert to John in an
attempt to explain Paul :-)], then we have no more hope of under-
standing the gospel than Nicodemus had; neither the traditions of
men nor the vain elevation of our own reason can prevent the Spirit
from blowing where it will -- the Paraclete is a kamikaze. But
the downside of Protestant belief in the efficacy of the Spirit
as our guide in scripture is that the wing of Protestantism that
takes this most seriously is also the most fragmented over divergent
understanding supposedly derived from the "clear" Word of God.
[Note: classical Lutheran, Calvinist and Anglican thought
constrains scripture to be read *within* tradition, even
while reserving judgment against tradition out of scripture;
the more bizarre forms of "I will read Scripture my way"
are primarily a fringe aspect of "cultic" Protestantism.]
The main problem with this approach is that there is apparently no
means for ONE person to convey to another what that one may feel
*is* teaching received from the Spirit; and history shows incredible
conflict between Christians on this point, each in his own mind
"convinced" that he is led by the Spirit. No one can seriously
urge point b without SOME sense of its potential for setting Christian
against Christian. To what purpose?
_ad_ c: The critical approach has the distinct advantage that when it can
reach a conclusion, it can lay out the data in a way which is open
to all. The weakness is an obvious corollary: this is not usually
possible. :-)
[If I may say a word here, out of my own already acknowledged bias;
one complaint against critical methodology is that it "dissolves"
faith -- but surely a "faith" that cannot honestly face the evalu-
ation of evidence has problems which mere theology is helpless to
address.]
Anyway, there is a serious and unfortunate possibility of schism between
"liberal" and "conservative" positions, mostly on the basis of extreme
zealots of positions b and c. A Catholic sense of authority and tradition
tends to constrain arguments of b contra c to secondary position, so that
despite horrendous strains Rome is NOT as likely to find these issues as
ultimately divisive as the Protestant world will. And Anglicans will (I
predict) muddle through on the _via media_, attempting to give each position
its due, but no more than its due.
Second question. Suppose tradition tells us, and lots of "spiritual"
Christians tell us, and critical thought at least admits as possible,
that Paul is refering to a flat, universal Levitical prohibition against
male-male sex. What then? Again, we can abdicate our personal responsi-
bility to tradition, and let it dictate the answer. But it's precisely
where inherited traditions are NOT questioned that they're most dangerous.
We have EXAMPLES of Christ questioning the Pharisees and THEIR use of
tradition (despite his urging, in Matthew 23:2 that we are to heed them).
We have EXAMPLES of Peter, and more radically still Paul, jettisoning the
traditions that THEY were led by the Spirit to call into question. Jesus
and Peter and Paul do not so much "throw out" tradition as subject it to
radical criticism, on a couple of very basic grounds:
"the weightier demands of the law: justice and mercy and good faith"
(Matthew 23:23)
and "On these two commandments [love God & neighbor] hand the whole Law,
and the Prophets, also."
(Matthew 22:40)
If there is a fundamental (because derived from Christ) validity in the
challenge to *some* traditions, a validity that led the first generation
to go so far as to waive application of the Torah to gentile converts
(vastly beyond anything that is directly deducible from Jesus' reported
words and deeds), it signifies to me a certain failure of the imagination
to *postulate* that *only* the traditions that we have specific challenges
against are in fact open to challenge.
All traditions passed *through* men are traditions *of* men. That God may
lead us even so, that these traditions are a source of our spiritual
instruction I will freely grant. But tradition is inherently human, and
inherently corruptible (and given the Fall, corrupt). Nothing in it is
immune to challenge, when the Spirit shows us a failure in justice, mercy
and good faith. Nothing may ultimately stand unless it DOES follow from
love of God and love of neighbor.
I am perfectly willing to grant that I could be blind to my own sin. That
the Spirit may have taught another what She refuses to teach me (or I am
too dense to learn). That tradition *might* have value here. But what I
*know* of tradition is that on one occasion, some superstitious Christians
appealed to Justinian after an earthquake in Asia Minor, and scapegoated
"sodomites" as the "cause" of the earthquake, so that legislation was
passed making homosexual behavior a capital offense. If that is in
accord with the gospel of Christ, then I am no Christian. That is human
tradition at its most hateful and vicious. And I see nothing all that much
different in all the unbidden eruptions onto USENET of people who are quick
to condemn but slow to understand. If that is the leading of the Spirit,
then I want no part of it. But what I have found in obedience to the Lord
is that I am, myself, TOTALLY dependent on the witness of other Christians,
for the truth that lives in the Body of Christ.
And I say to all who doubt that gay Christianity is from God what Gamaliel
said to doubting Pharisees who would have suppressed the earliest Church:
"be careful how you deal with these people... If this enterprise,
this movement of theirs, is of human origin it will break up of
its own accord; but if it does in fact come from God you will not
only be unable to destroy them, but you might find yourselves
fighting against God."
[Acts 5:36...39]
All I ask is that you listen to your traditions, and read your scriptures
with a mind and soul OPEN to the Spirit, and to the past history of our
first Christian witnesses' willingness to challenge tradition and OTHER
readings of scripture -- though read with all the authority of scribes and
rabbis -- and a submission to the declaration that all must depend on the
love of God and neighbor. Then, study the evidence; learn the history of
Christians oppressing Christians out of their traditions and eagerness to
judge where Jesus and Paul tell us NOT to judge. And let the witness of
the Spirit in the lives of your fellow Christians -- including those who
are NOT of your preference in theology -- guide you towards God's truth.

[There's a certain ambiguity in your discussion of position (a), as to
whether you're speaking of tradition in Paul's time or ours. I think
there are two ways to use tradition. One is to say that when Paul and
his readers share a tradition, it makes sense to interpret his words
in the context of that shared tradition. That's what makes me think
that these arguments over words turn out to be silly. We know that
Paul came out of a background that was rather Puritanical on sex.
Everything else he says on sex is consistent with that background.
The tone of his remarks on homosexuality in Rom 1 is consistent with
that background. Even if the words in the sin lists aren't the most
general terms for homosexual activity (and it seems to me that there's
some evidence that they are not), they are just one more piece of
evidence for something we would probably be willing to believe with no
evidence at all -- that Paul shares the common Jewish rejection of
homosexuality.
But when you identify (a) with the Catholic position, that's rather a
horse of a different color. The Catholic position involves a
continuing church tradition. Arguments specific to that tradition
might be (1) we can get guidance on how to interpret Paul's original
meaning from tradition, e.g. the way the Church Fathers interpreted
him, and (2) we gain confidence that his prohibitions still apply in
our time because of the universal judgement of the church between his
time and ours. I think this is a somewhat different use of tradition.
A radical Protestant might be willing to use known 1st Cent.
tradition to illuminate Paul's original meaning, but not use the
Catholic position to answer the question of what our own attitude to
homosexuality should be.

From article <1qvampINNmhf@darkstar.UCSC.EDU>, by stephen@orchid.UCSC.EDU:
I believe that this is not contradictory on the basis that
the quality of media reporting varies greatly based on the
subject at hand. The media has proven itself very accurate
is the areas of presenting raw, undisputed data. One good
example would be the weather page in which high and low
temperatures of the previous day for a large number of
locations are posting. There is little evidence to show
that they are in error.
The American media has failed us in its analysis of complex
events, however. I'm sure that we can come up with many
news stories that have left us angry because so many facts
have been ommitted. Cases that come to mind are the
invasion of Panama, the war with Iraq, the disaster in Waco,
the issues surrounding the acceptance of gays into the
military, the war on drugs, and many others.
The story that you bring to light was regarding the new
sex survey. While I'm sure that due to lazyness some of
the data was ommitted from the article, I would venture to
guess that the data that was presented did not deviate
from the survey. I do, however, think that it would be
folly to have blind faith in a single newswriter's
analysis of this data. In this particular case, there was
little analysis, and the reader was left to draw his/her
own convictions.
Many netters, Mr. Cramer included, often forget that the
American media are merely a number of businesses, who's
purpose in life is to make money for their owners and
stockholders. Revenues come largely from advertisers
who merely want maximum useful exposure per dollar. The
media is like fast food; the quality of the food (or of
the reporting) will improve only if the customers demand
as such. Otherwise, it is business as usual.

This is such Bullshit. Deir Yassin was an unprovoked attack on
the part of the Jews, and a massacre defines it best in my
opinion. The village of Deir Yassin had had a pact with the
Jews, a peace pact, but the Irgun purposely broke this
agreement in order to scare off the Palestinians. I might
grant that this village housed armed Arabs [I doubt it] but
nothing in the archives and available literature indicates that
this was a motivating force amongst the Irgun. The Deir Yassin
MASSACRE was part of an over all strategy to intimidate the
Palestinians to flee the Jewish Homeland.,...and contrary to
your belief, many civilians were killed. Deir Yassin was later
advertized by the very Jews who perpetrated it because it was
useful in getting many Palestinians to leave. The Palestinians
were rightfully scared off, because they did not want another
Deir Yassin.
I'm not necessarily condemning the Israelites here;
atrocities were aslo committed on the part of the Arabs.
Israelophiles should just be careful in thinking that they are
and were the good guys in the middle east. Both Arab and Jew
suck equally.

Hi,
Thought I'd add something to the conversation.
My girlfriend used to work in a lab studying different natural carcinogens.
She mentioned once about the cancerous effect of barbecued food.
Basically, she said that if you eat barbecued foods with strawberries
(a natural carcinogen) the slight carcinogenic properties of both
cancel out each other.

Speaking of ME's. The FBI said the fire victims were found face-up
<fire victims, apparently, are usually found face down>
suggesting they died prior to the fire. The ME says, in a word,
BULLSHIT, the victims WERE face down. The FBI says they sent a body
of a victim that was shot, supposedly by BD guards, the ME
says, in a word, BULLSHIT, the body showed NO evidence of gunshot
wounds. Can the ATF/FBI tell the difference between CYA and truth?

Rather than write my own, can anyone direct me to a package that will let me create
cascaded popup menus in X windows. For reasons of portability, the package should
not rely on any X toolkit other than XLib and the XT Intrinsics. Something written

I asked around in one of the areas you suggested yourself, and presented
the information I got. No mention of US landmines was given.
Okay, so you are going to blindly believe in things without reasonable
evidence? I didn't realize you were a theist. I am doubting a claim
presented without any evidence to support it. If you are able to present
real evidence for it, then great. But unsupported claims, or even claims
by such and such news agency will not be accepted. If you want to
stick to the sheer impossible, instead of the merely difficult, then
fine.
The statement that if such a fact is classified, then you
can't prove it, is a simple matter of pragmatics and the law. If you
have access to classified information that you know to be classified,
and you reveal it, there is a good chance that you or someone else
(the person who revealed it to you), is going to jail.
I never said that you couldn't prove it to my satisfaction, I merely
said that it was difficult. (Who said I try and make things easy
for people I am arguing with :) (Unless of course, they need the
handicap).

Now which is it? Are you going to comdemn national media, then turn around
and use it to support some position you present? Seems somewhat contradictory
doesn't it.
I believe this true when we speak of physical data, in the
sense of pure science. But when we speak of data that revolve
around social sciences then we have to be careful.
I quite agree. But these are cases or 'news events' that contain
politics, social science information, sociology, etc. and at
best are reflections of the group that reports them.
As you have pointed out, it is difficult to report that the
temperature was 98 degrees when it was 60 degrees and have
people believe you.
Yes and no. The survey presented, according to Mr. Cramer,
a value called the median- which one used this makes us
believe that 1/2 of the males had 7.3 plus sex partners and
1/2 of the males had 7.3 or less sex partners. Homosexuals
are purported to make up only 1%. In this case, the majority
of people with 7.3 plus sex partners are heterosexual.
It is my feeling that median was not the intended word usage.
But if it is then we have little evidence to support Mr. Cramer
claims about gay promiscuity > hetero promiscuity.
Very good- this is a point that I have tried to bring out,
and as any network news program will show you, it is true.
The News Media is a business and as such becomes skewed because
of where its loyalties lie.

:
: What paper is that? It's been on the price list here at Dartmouth
: since they released it and it has never been called the "DuoDock Plus."
It was a paper from Apple Sweden that announced some new products (the new
docking station was only one of them), and the paper arrived before it showed
up on the price list. I don't know if it's still called the "DuoDock Plus"
in the price list, it could be a mistake by someone at Apple Sweden.

Since the FBI's account of what happened is being contradicted on an
increasingly frequent basis by other officials investigating the
fire, the most pernicious idea of all is believing that Big Brother
is going to be well-behaved with respect to cryptographic keys.
In light of the very serious allegations with respect to the DOJ
selling software to various other intelligence services, what do
you suppose the chances are of some future DOJ selling escrowed
keys to business firms?
Trusting the government to be honest and fair is putting the
fox in charge of protecting the chickens.

I have an 8-bit serial card with two ports. Each port has the option of
using IRQ 2,3,4 or 5. I also have two serial ports on a multi-I/O card,
and the ports can be set to IRQ 3,4,5,7 or 9. From other posts I've read,
I get the impression that IRQ2 on the 8-bit card is the same as IRQ9 on
the multi-I/O card. Am I right?

Hi,
I've been using Plannet Crafter's "Plug-in" for Program Manager.
Its listed in most BBS'es as PLUGIN13. Its an add-on which gives
some needed features to Progman; such as the ability to better
manage your groups, change your cursor and icons on the fly,
constant status of RAM and resources, "Quick-menu" (a drop-down
menu of DOS commands or app launcher), plus some other neat stuff.
Used it, liked it, and even reg'd it <G>.
If you can't find it anywhere, let me know and I'll zip it up and
mail it to you (shareware version, of course <g>...)
Aloha...

In today's Jerusalem Post Magazine there is a feature story about the
ongoing restoration of synagogues in the Jewish Quarter. The author,
Leah Abramowitz, writes that there were FIFTY-SEVEN synagogues in the
quarter in 1948, ALL of which were destroyed, some, she says, used as
donkey stables. The building shells, that is.
I still find it really, really hard to understand why the demolition
of the buildings in front of the Kotel continues to evoke more outrage
than this. Everything is so much cheaper when it happens to the Jews.
Why?

I see a parallel between what I will stupidly call the "homosexual"
issue and the "atheist" issue. Please take no offense at these
comparisons.
The homosexual "feels" things that I admit I do not "feel".
He learns that these feelings are classified as homosexual feelings
and learns of a model of sexuality that seems to apply to
his feelings, which he then can fit with his experiences.
That is, this model gives him a sense of understanding his
situation. Models that do not match up with what he knows he
feels will be discarded. However, one wonders if once accepting
the idea of his being gay and deciding what exactly that
means he will analyze all his feelings and experiences based on
the definition he has already accepted, which of course validates
his model.
If that was hard to understand now listen to my parallel.
The Christian "feels" things that an atheist claims he does not
feel. The Christian accepts the Christian theology as the true
description of what his feelings mean. Once accepting this
model he interprets his experiences with regards to this model
which of course validates his Christianity.
As a reminder, I am a Christian, a Catholic, I don't hate
homosexuals or atheists, but am just trying to understand
them. I only compare them because they are both so foreign
to me. Am I as blind to the homosexual as the atheist seems
blind to me? Or am I as prejudiced against atheistic denial of
religious experience as the homosexual is prejudiced against
attempts by society to deny his sexuality?
Or am I just out to lunch, again?

This morning on CNN (tues April 27), Texas Cops say Arson is suspected
because of two falsh points. CNN also stated that _all_ surviors
claim the fires are FBI set. Your argument are made-up, untrue
and unverified at best.
The day of the attack the FBI claimed to have seen two BD'ers setting
the fire outside of the compound. Yesterday, the arson squad said two
flash points at the or near the tank entry points
Not good evidence for the FBI hit squad.
is there a difference between thinking that you won't survive a confrontation
with the FBI (parnoia?) and committing suicide?
No, claimed by the escapees not contradicted
What I'm finding interesting is the conflicting reports. FBI says
that bodies have been found with bullet wounds and the Texas Cornuers
(sp) says that they haven't yet found any bullet holes..

But that is exactly what I was asking. If the Homosexual community (is that

behaviour but rather condones it then how do they interpret these verses. I
guess what I am really looking for is a "homosexual" response.

We have seen lots of discussion on automobile engine configuration. Let me ask
a similar question from the aviation field. You must have seen images of prop
planes with all cylinders exposed. I have seen up to 8 cylinders positioned
radially in a circular fashion with the prop at the center of the circle.
This arrangement always brings up a geometric dilemma. How can one crankshaft
throw accomodate 8 rods or are the pistons displaced but not visible from the
outside.

Grrrr, let's start a whole 'nother topic on show bad the sharks are doing on
these things. I swear that ALL of my partial plan games were televised (I
know, I'm exaggerating, but...).
In order:
-the new ticket prices suck
-wait 'till people try to park at games next year. Public transit? Yeah
right, I'd love to take caltrain for 3 hours to see a 3 hour game.
Shelling out hundreds of dollars for partial season plans for two years
doesnt mean anything to the sharks, as I get to pick my seats after the dead
rise from their graves to claim their seats! :-)

Before the S4 became the S4 it was called the 200 turbo quattro 20v.
This model did come in a wagon, a very quick wagon. Very rare also.
Mike Sylvester Umass
Being a satisfied Audi owner (-90 100 turbo quattro. my 4:th Audi) I
get the free VAG magazine. The latest issue presented a new S4 Avant
(wagon) with a 4.2 litre V8. I'd like one of these ;-)
Btw, this is my second quattro and my third turbo and I must say that
even in the summer, with dry roads, the quattros give so much extra in
road holding and balance that I hope I can afford them always.

UPI, and the newspapers who are reporting this being all owned by Saudis
I wonder how secure they are feeling by reporting all of these things,
maybe Saudi Arabia is allowed to have all the human rights violations
it can have, nobody is including them in any list,.. those are designed
for independent states.
why is this reported from Cairo?
.....
Can somebody teach this man some logic?
what is the relationship between a human rights league in Saudia
and human rights in Bosnia, I guess if we wanted to know what is
in Italy, we should know what is in Brasil (Syrian Joke)
their claim of following Islamic law is the biggest disservice
that they ever did to Islam.
...
But how about human rights in Egypt Mr Amin?

I originally posted this to alt.suicide.holiday but it was recommended
that I try you guys instead:
My friend insists that Ny-Quil can be deadly if enough is taken -- he
suggested something like 20-30 of the Night-time gelcaps would do someone
in. Being a NORMAL user of Ny-Quil :), I checked the 'ingredients' and
have a very hard time believing it. They are:
250 g acetaminophen
30 mg Pseudoephedrine HCl
10 mg Dextromethorphan HBr
6.25 mg Doxylamine Succinate
(per softgel)
Can someone settle our bet (a package of Ny-Quil of course :) -- what
effect would 20-30 of these babies have?

Reboost may not be a problem, if they have enough fuel. If they don't do a
reboost this time, they will definitely have to do one on the next servicing
mission. But try to land a shuttle with that big huge telescope in the
back and you could have problems. The shuttle just isn't designed to land
with that much weight in the payload.
of course that is a concern too, and the loss of science during the time
that it is on the ground. plus a fear that if it comes down, some
big-wig might not allow it to go back up. but the main concern, I
believe is the danger of the landing. Just to add another bad vibe,
they also increase the risk of damaging an instrument. Finally,
this is a chance for NASA astronanuts to prove they could build and
service a space station. Hubble was designed for in flight servicing.
bringing the telescope down, to my understanding, was considered
even very recently, but all these factors contribute to the
decision to do it the way it was planned in the beginning.

Generally, the second or third major release usually takes care of it.
My advice, based on plenty of personal experience, is to never buy the
first version of anything from Microsoft. This includes major version
number upgrades from previous releases, such as Microsoft C 6.00.
Always wait at least for the "a" upgrade or slipstream upgrade if
you're going to buy it.

Dear Senator/Congressman/President {fill in the blank}
I am writing you to voice my strong opposition to President Clinton's Clipper
Chip initiative. This proposal to establish a secret government designed
cryptography chip with government key registration as the standard for voice
encryption is very disturbing. The idea that citizens must register their
secrets with the government just in case they are trying to keep them secret
is patently unAmerican. Additionally, the press release for this program
strongly implied that other forms of cryptography would be banned after the
Clipper Chip standard is in place. This latest attack on our civil rights is
deeply disturbing and is frankly a voting issue for me.
The presidents press release stated that the plan strikes a balance between the
legitimate needs of law enforcement and a citizens right to privacy but this
is not the case. The fact is that since other strong cryptographic equipment
is avalible the criminals, drug dealers and terrorists mentioned in the press
release will simply use non clipper cryptography. Meanwhile the average citizen
may gain no protection against warentless wiretaps by the government since the
government escrowed key is derived deterministicly from the unit serial number
which is broadcast by the chip durring its opperation. This seems like an
obvious back door for the NSA and law enforcement. If you still do nott
understand my objection to key registration, consider the way J. Edgar Hoover
blackmailed government officials like yourself; would you now use a phone to
transmit personal details of your life that the NSA and FBI have the keys to?

RFD
Request For Discussion
for the
OPEN TELEMATIC GROUP
OTG
I have proposed the forming of a consortium/task force for the promotion
of NAPLPS/JPEG, FIF to openly discuss ways, method,
procedures,algorythms,
applications, implementation, extensions of NAPLPS/JPEG standards.
These standards should facilitate the creation of REAL_TIME Online
applications that make use of Voice, Video, Telecommuting, HiRes
graphics,
Conferencing, Distant Learning, Online order entry, Fax,in addition
these dicussion would assist all to better understand how SGML,CALS,
ODA,MIME,OODBMS,JPEG,MPEG,FRACTALS,SQL,CDrom,cdromXA,Kodak PhotoCD,TCL,
V.FAST,EIA/TIA562,can best be incorporated and implemented to
develop TELEMATIC/Multimedia applications....
We want to be able to support DOS, UNIX, MAC, WINDOWS, NT, OS/2
platforms.
It is our hope that individuals,developers, corporations, Universities,
R & D labs would join in in supporting such an endeavor.
This would be a NOT_FOR_PROFIT group with bylaws and charter. Already
many
corporation have decided to support OTG (Open TELEMATIC Group) so do not
delay joining if you are a developer
An RFD has been posted to form a usenet newsgroup and a FAQ will soon be
be compose to start promulgating what is known on the subject.
If you would like to be added to the mailist send email or mail to
the address below.
This group would publish an electronic quarterly NAPLPS/JPEG newsletter
as well as a hardcopy version.
We urge all who wants to see CMCs HiRes based applications
& the NAPLPS/JPEG G R O W, decide to join and mutually benefit from
this NOT-FOR_PROFIT endeavor.
NOTE: Telematic has been defined by Mr. James Martin as the marriage
of Voice, Video, Hi-res Graphics, Fax, IVR, Music over telephone
lines/LAN.
If you would like to get involve write to me at:

Sorry, Sherri, but I can't agree with this particular incident. While
I'm all for cutting down the number of chain-rattles and other examples
of rampant Hargroving, there was a difference here.
1) Since time immemorial, batters have complained about calls.
So have pitchers and catchers. Usually, nothing happens.
Unless the league notified teams this year about not allowing
complaints, Hirschbeck was acting against expectations.
2) It's not as if Gant was "in Hirschbeck's face". Gant said
something about the call, stepped out of the box, and turned away
from Hirschbeck. As a hitter (alibet of little consequence, but
with a decent eye), whenever receiving the short end of the stick
on a questionable call, I'd want a moment or two out of the box,
if for no other reason than to rethink the strike zone based on
the experience of the last pitch. And if I was really angry
at the ump, I'd rather turn away and catch my breath than
turn to him and say something that might get me tossed,
especially at a key moment in the game.
When Gant turned away, Hirschbeck IMMEDIATELY motioned for Gant
to step into the box. IMO, at this point in time, Hirschbeck
was determined to show Gant exactly WHO was in charge of this game.
Gant wasn't dawdling; he hadn't had a chance to dawdle. And Hirschbeck
was simply exercising a power play. Gant resisted, as many of
us might to what we thought was an unreasonable request, and
Hirschbeck called for the pitch. At that point, Cox came out on
the field, the pitch was thrown, and many other Braves left the
dugout. Cox was tossed "protecting his player". I was pleasantly
surprised that Gant kept his cool enough to stay in the game.
It's a small sample size, but based on what I saw in that game,
Mark Hirschbeck has a hair-trigger temper and a need to play
God on the field. Not good qualities for an umpire. I will
keep my eyes open for future appearances of Hirschbeck in the
future, in order to improve my sample size.
IMO, any game where you remember the name of the umpire was
a bad game for the umpire.

I looked up "might" to see why you selected that particular word,
and discovered the line ". . . to express permission, liberty,
probability, possibility . . ." It also said something about being a
"polite" alternative to "may." The presence of "probability, possibility"
can certainly be used to partially explain your word selection.
So, I'd say to all extents and purposes, "Yes, you might." In fact, you did.
(Not that you were asking *me* specifically.)
The next question is, why would a mailing list be "more" appropriate?
We don't all get mailing lists. We surely don't all get mailing lists about
the teams about which we are most enthused. So it seems to me r.s.baseball
is an appropriate place to look for information about teams one doesn't
necessarily follow day-to-day.
This is not intended as flamage, but rather is an attempted answer,
as you posed your post as a question.

I am looking for statistics on the prevalence of disorders that are
treatable with Botulinum Type A. These disorders include: facial
dyskinesia, meige syndrome, hemifacial spasm, apraxia of eyelid openeing,
aberrant regeneration of the facial nerve, facial paralysis, strabismus,
spasmodic torticollis, muscle spasm, occupational dystonia (i.e. writers
cramp, etc.), spasmodic dysphonia, and temporal mandibular joint disease.
I realize many of the disorders I listed (such as "muscle spasm" !!) are
vaguely defined and may encompass a wide range of particular disorders. My
apologies; the list was provided to me as is. I have some numbers, but not
reliable.
Any ideas on sources or, even bbetter, any actual figures (with source
listed)?
Many thanks,

The proposal could be modified so that if they get a court order to tap you
and don't charge you with a crime within, say, 90 days, they have to buy you
a new phone.
If they do charge you, and you are found innocent, they have to buy you a
new phone.

LOVE IN THE MORNING (Psalm 90:14)
by Malcolm Smith
Moses wrote this prayer at a weary time in the history of Israel. A generation
before the time of its writing, the people of Israel had stood at Kadesh,
gateway to Canaan, and made the fateful choice to go their own way rather
than God's way. They refused an adventure of faith in God which would
have given them Canaan, the homeland of promise. God honored their
decision, and said they would wander in the desert only a few miles from the
land of promise until they were all buried in the sand. The young decision-
makers of that fateful day were between twenty and thirty years old, and
destined to be dead within forty years... bleached bones in the desert by the
time they were seventy-- eighty, at the most. The lives of these wanderers
had been unending sadness. Moses described it as ending each year with a
sigh (v. 9). The fact that they knew, give or take a few months, when they
were going to die, underscored the meaninglessness of their existence.
Whatever heights of success they reached, they would be a heap of bleached
bones within forty years. The only ones to live outside of that depression of
hopeless disbelief were Joshua and Caleb, who had stood against the nation
at Kadesh and had God' s promise of one day entering the land. The
forty-year period was finally drawing to an end. The new generation, those
who were children at Kadesh, were now grown and eager to take the
inheritance their parents had refused to enjoy. In the light of this, Moses
prays...it is time for a new day to begin and the days of misery to be over.
All these years, as Moses had walked with these moaning and complaining
people through the wilderness of their exile, he had carried a double burden.
His was not only the sadness of living in less than what could have been; but
he also knew why they had chosen as they had at Kadesh. The problem was
that they were ignorant of the character of their God. If asked. "Who is your
God?" they would have described Him as the God who is Power. When
Aaron had created their concept of God in an idol. he chose a calf. or young
bull--a symbol of power, of virility. In their minds, God was the young bull
who had impaled Pharaoh on his horns and gored Egypt's gods as He led
Israel to Sinai. But when man worships a God of power, His miracles grow
thin and even boring. After miracle food on the desert floor and water
gushing miraculously from the solid rock through the desert wasteland, the
God of Almightiness becomes "ho-hum --What' s next on the miracle menu?"
And a God of power can be as unpredictable as a young bull calf. He might
be all they need, but then...who knows? If He has all power, He has a right
to do whatever He wants, whenever He wants. The only person these people
had known who had absolute power was Pharaoh, and men's lives had hung
on the whim of his moods, which could change with the wind. They believed
God could work His wonders on their behalf, but they did not know HIM
and, so, could not trust Him. Israel had a God based on what He DID, His
acts; Moses knew the heart of God, the motivation behind the acts. From the
day of his encounter at the burning bush, Moses had been fascinated by God.
At Sinai, he asked to be shown His glory...to know who He really was. He
had seen what God had done; he wanted to know who God was. This
request was granted, and Moses was given a glimpse of God's glorious
Person. He had come to know the heart of God as compassion and
lovingkindness (Exodus 34:6,7). The word "lovingkindness" is not to be
understood as a human kind of love. It speaks of the kind of relationship
arising out of the making of a covenant. It can only be understood as the
love that says, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." Lovingkindness is as
tenacious as a British bulldog; when the world walks out, this love digs in its
heels and refuses to leave.And it is not human romantic love, based on
feelings and rooted in emotions. It is a love of covenant commitment and,
therefore, operates quite apart from feelings. God's love is not an emotion
that wavers day by day; it is the total commitment of His Being to seek our
highest and best, and to bring us to our fullest potential as humans. God
does not see something good and beautiful in us which arouses His feelings
of love toward us...we do not woo Him and cause Him to fall in love with
us! If that were the case, the first ugly, sinful thing we did would cause Him
to reject us. He is Love, and He loves us because of who He is-- not
because of who we are. He does not love what we do, but He is committed
to us, pursuing us down every blind alley and bypath of foolishness. He will
not let us go. His is a love that is not looking for what it can get out of us--
but a committed love that searches for opportunities to give to us. It is
saying to the recipient, "For as long as we shall live, I am for you." The God
who has revealed Himself to man through Scripture and, finally, in Jesus--in
His coming, and in His death and resurrection--is the God who is
lovingkindness. Thus He loves us and gives Himself to us...He will never
leave us nor forsake us. Tragically, many believers have never seen Him as
love; they see Him as power. No one will come to faith by just seeing
miracles. Miracles point to who He is, and that is when faith springs in the
heart. Israel did not see God as lovingkindness; they saw His acts of power.
Moses knew His ways, the kind of God He was, and the love that He had for
these people. Because of their total lack of understanding of His love, they
could not trust Him to be their strength in taking the land. Faith is born out
of knowing the love He has for us; it is the resting response to the One who
gives Himself to us. He is not the force, and to call Him the Almighty is to
miss His heart. He is Love who is the Almighty and the Infinite Force. If
man is to make force or raw power work for him, he must depend on
knowing the forrnula and have faith in it. But the power that issues from
love demands faith in the Person of love Himself. The forty years of
meaningless wandering was a monument to a people who had never come to
know the God of love. At this point, with the new generation and the
possibility of enjoying all that God promised, Moses prays verse 14. The
language Moses uses is reminiscent of a baby having slept secure in its
mother's love, now waking to look up into the delight of her eyes. It is
waking to the consciousness of being loved... watched over, cared for,
protected, fed, and cleaned, day and night, by the mother. Suppose we were
to ask, "What has the baby done to deserve this?" or, "Have arrangements
been made for the child to repay the parents for this inconvenience?" Our
questions would be considered unnatural, even immoral. The child was
conceived in love, anticipated and prepared for with love's excitement, a love
that has been to the gates of death to bring it into being. The parents' love is
unconditional, spontaneous...it has nothing to do with the looks of the child
or its performance. So God is love. He loves us unconditionally,
spontaneously. We were conceived in His imagination and fashioned after
His image, to be brought to where we are at this moment by the blood of the
Lord Jesus. It is slanderous, and immoral, to even ask what we must do to
earn and deserve that love. The child discovers its personhood and identity
through the eyes and touch, through the cuddles, of its parents' love. It is a
scientific fact that a baby who is not touched and held will probably die or, if
it survives, will have severe emotional problems. And a person who has been
held and loved will still never know the true meaning of life without the
embrace and knowledge of love from God. Moses prays that the new
generation will learn to wake every morning, resting with total confidence in
the love of God. and will receive all His promises and blessings with joy and
gladness. Significantly, Moses prays that they will be SATISFIED with His
love. "Satisfied." in the Hebrew language. is a rich picture word describing
being filled with an abundance of gourmet food. It is also used to describe
the earth after the rain has soaked it and all the vegetation has received
enough water. Moses prays that they will awaken every morning to be
drenched in the life-giving love of God. That sense of satisfaction is the
lifelong quest of every man and woman. When we are satisfied in our
deepest selves, many of our emotional--and even our physical--problems
disappear. Man seeks that sense of satisfaction which comes from feeling
that he is fulfilled as a human being...his hours have meaning, which make
sense out of the ordinary and mundane. Apart from God, man seeks this
satisfaction through intellectual pursuit, through the exciting of the
emotions, and through the feeding of his body...he will even seek it in
religious exercise. But man will always be dissatisfied until he is responding
to the love of the living God. Only in knowing God's love will the rest of life
make sense. As the forty years drew to a close and the land of promise again
became the inheritance to be taken, Moses prayed this psalm. I find it
fascinating that he should pray and ask God for a daily revelation of His
love. Considering the awe with which the people held Moses. one would
think he could have lectured them on the subject of lovingkindness and, by
the knowledge they gained, they would live in it. But Moses knew
better. God is the only one who can make known to us His love. We won't
find it in a religious lecture or a formula which we can learn and use to
manipulate Him. Nor is it in a beautiful poem to titillate our emotions and
give us God feelings. It is God, himself, the Lover, who must open our eyes
and satisfy us with His love. This prayer is man, in helplessness, asking God
to make the love He is real in our hearts. Moses' prayer was partially
answered in the next generation and seen in the exploits of faith which
worked by love in The Book of Judges. But it would not be answered in its
fullest dimensions until the coming of the Holy Spirit, who pours out the
love of God in our hearts (Romans 5:5). In the history of the early Church,
we read of the Holy Spirit "falling upon" the believers. This is an ancient
expression that, in modern English, means to give a bear hug. It is used in
Luke 15 to describe the father running to the prodigal and "falling on his
neck and kissing him." The Holy Spirit is God hugging you in your deepest
self and smothering you with divine kisses at the deepest level of your
being. This is not a one-time experience to be filed in our spiritual resumes.
Moses prayed that morning by morning we would awaken to the realization
that we are loved. The world, and much of our religious training, has taught
us to perform in order to be accepted. We have spent far too long living in a
state of doing in order to find satisfaction for ourselves...to find acceptance
and love from others, and from God. We now come humbled to receive love
we cannot earn...to be still and let Him tell us we are loved: to let the Holy
Spirit descend into us, pouring out the love of God. We come in stillness to
think on and repeat His words of love to our minds. which have been jaded
with the doctrine of "perform to be accepted." We begin to realize that He
loves us as we are, and gives meaning and purpose to all of life. I challenge
everyone reading this to begin each day, from the moment you open your
eyes, by celebrating the God of love and praying this prayer. You may not
feel anything, but SOMETHING ALWAYS HAPPENS. I was X-rayed the
other day. I did not see or feel anything, but I noted that the technicians kept
behind protective walls. They know you cannot be exposed to those rays
without being affected. So it is as we consciously begin our day knowing
that we are loved. Such experiential knowledge will produce, according to
Moses, "joy and gladness all our days." Joy is the result of a life that is
functioning as God intended us to function when He made us. You might say
that joy is the hum of an engine that is at peak performance. Man' s highest
performance is to rest in the love God has for him... the hum will be joy, and
the result will be endless creativity arising from the sense of meaning he now
has in life. Stop wandering in the wilderness. Be satisfied with His love and,
in joy, day by day, receive all His promised blessings.

Not useful unless you've got some truly wonderful propulsion system for
the mother ship that can't be applied to the probes. Otherwise it's
better to simply launch the probes independently. The outer planets
are scattered widely across a two-dimensional solar system, and going
to one is seldom helpful in going to the next one. Uranus is *not* on
the way to Neptune. Don't judge interplanetary trajectories in general
by what the Voyagers did: they exploited a lineup that occurs only
every couple of centuries, and even so Voyager 2 took a rather indirect
route to Neptune.
Solar sails are pretty useless in the outer solar system. They're also
very slow, unless you assume quite advanced versions.

They are the BOSS. You are the SUBJECT. The concept of defense against
illegal action under color of law is kaput. No longer is it government
of the people by the people, its government of the people by the biggest
guns. The idea of 'sorting it out in court later' is fine, but one
has to GET TO COURT IN ONE PIECE to do that. Korash had good reason
to think that he was not going to get that chance. (see below).

Rember, Korash didn't get to sort this all out, serenely typing at his
keyboard. He heard SOME KIND OF EXPLOSIVES go off, he saw he was being
ATTACKED with no overt action from him (yet). He could no more say 'oh,
its ok, its only stun grenades' anymore than I could. He slammed the door at
that point and proceeded to repel the attackers. He felt in genuine fear
of his life - I know I would be in fear of MY life at that point. Have
you ever been shot at? How clear and logically could you think, under
that pressure, when you MIGHT have ALL OF 1 or 2 SECONDS to evaluate
what is going on? And, it would not be the first time that 'law
enforcements' intended to bring in their suspect horizontally. For
all we know, he was informed by someone saying something like "Hey,
guy, the BATF is coming like gangbusters, and they mean to WASTE you..."
According to the latest news, the released warrant (so we are told) said
the reason for this WW III raid was that Korash's group had spent around
$200,000.00 on firearms and related stuff (over an undetermined period).
Now, even assuming that the figure isn't calculated like the Feds do a
drug siezure, for 90 people, that isn't really all that much (you priced
decent guns lately?). Hell, I can think of a person right now that probably
has that much for ONE INDIVIDUAL, mostly machineguns!!! Sure, he is
an avid collector, but unless a new law has been passed, it is NOT illegal,
nor an indication of anything illegal, to have a lot of guns. Also note
that the warrant had NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT MACHINE GUNS. So, what
is the justification of this cowboy raid, other than a romp gone bad
for some anti-gun media hype, to support Clinton's push for disarming
the unconnected citizen of any and all effective defensive weapons?
This administration has only one thing in mind. CONTROL. PEOPLE CONTROL.
Whether it is gun control, Clinton Cripple Chip, National smart ID cards,
it all boils down to PEOPLE CONTROL. Can you say 1984, only 10 years late?
I knew you could... :-)
<laws, they would have been released as they had been before. If this
<had happened and it turned out that the BATF had used too much force,
<then the BDs would have grounds for a law suit and for federal charges

<BATF was on the way in, and rather than adopting a non-violent,
<non-threatening posture to greet the BATF, they decided to fight.
And BATF knew the BDs were expecting them (via 60 minutes report). But
they decided they were so big, so bad, they would have a cakewalk at
the BDs expense, for a nice media show anyway. But it all turned to
shit, and the FBI taking over to manage things, we see it all turned to
shit, too. Clinton says 'I am taking full responsibility'... BAH.
Responsibility means to take the repercussions if it goes wrong. Bet
you NOBODY pays any serious repercussions. 'Responsibility' only has
meaning as media PR, or as a means to corner the average Joe Schmoe.
Figure it out... Clinton, Reno, the FBI and BATF, will all be IMMUNE.

I read an article about a poll done of students at the Ivy League
schools in which it was reported that a third of the students
indentified themselves as atheists. This is a lot higher than among the
general population. I wonder what the reasons for this discrepancy are?
Is it because they are more intelligent? Younger? Is this the wave of

Quantum LPS240A hard disk phantom seeks
I just purchased and installed a 240MB Quantum 3.5" hard drive, model
LPS240A, and have a concern about its behavior.
Although the disk drive itself seems to behave properly with respect to
file I/O, it performs what I call phantom seeks.
When the PC is absolutely idle, I can hear a spurt of activity in the
drive every 30-40 seconds, lasting 1-2 seconds. This activity seems to
be initiated strictly within the drive itself since the disk LED never
comes on. [The disk LED is attached to the disk controller card, not
the drive.]
My other hard disk, a Seagate ST3283A, does not have this kind
behavior.
Can anyone comment on this strange phenomenon?

But I don't want to have to run blasted Windows every time I want to delete
a tree - it is absolutely ludicrous to load a hog like that just to delete
some files! It would be like requiring a crane to change the tyre on a car.
Only because its crap, which is noones fault but their own.
By deliberately crippling the product? Surely no...
Oh, hold on, I guess you're right. That certainly stinks of MicroSoft
marketing techniques.
But the point still remains that a command to delete trees is not new
technology, and is the kind of thing one would have expected to see long
before Windows was even dreamt of.
Well Amen to that, but I wish it were a damn sight deader. For a dead
product, its used an awful lot. And I suspect its going to carry on
twitching for a long while yet, which isn't doing anyone any good.
(And MicroSoft don't appear to have given up marketing DOS, so it is a very
unusual form of death indeed).

Hi all,
My skin is very dry in general. But the most serious part is located
from knees down. The skin there looks like segmented. The segmentation
actually happens beneath the skin. I would like to know if there is any
cure for this.
At the supermarkets or pharmacies, there are quite a lot of stuffs for
dry skins, but what to chose?
Thanks in advance for all advices and hints.

You guys are correct. The Bricklin was produced in Canada.
The National Museum of Science and Technology here in Ottawa
has one, and sometimes they put it on display. Most of the time,
it stays in storage because the museum doesn't have much room.
It's a big deal for a car to be Canadian and that's why they
have it. If anybody's a fan, they also have a nice green '73
Riviera that looks like it just came out of the showroom.

Hey, can someone clue me in on these and other weird types of amplifiers? Just
a brief intro to the concepts behind these would be cool. I have the clues
on type A, B, and AB already and stuff, but these other ones are mentioned
occasionally and I dont know what they do. I think type D is like a PWM scheme
or something. Thanx in advanced.
---------->
The whole point to these weird amplifier types is improved efficiency.
Class D amps *are* PWM (pulse width modulation) amps which work very much like
switching power supplies. I think I've seen these things called "class S"
before as well. They're capable of very high efficiencies, and would be suitable
for very high power. I've yet to see anything like this used in an audiophile
amp, though. I've been trying to design a three-kilowatter for the last year
(to be used as an inverter for an UPS), but have been having serious problems
with layout parasitics (10 IRF 450's in parallel... any help with a do-able
isolated drive ckt would be appreciated :) )
I'm not absolutely positive about this, but I beleive a 'class G' amp is one that
operates off a variable- or switched power supply rail voltage. The Carver
amps do something like this. They use some sort of phase-control circuit
(I do not fully understand its operation) to reduce the transformer size, and
I beleive that is patented. I had an M400 apart (trying to fix) and found that
it had three rail voltages that it switched between. I ran a simulation on
PSPICE and found that the topology would greatly reduce power dissipation (heat)
under large-signal conditions, or when driving reactive loads (which draw high
current at the zero-voltage crossings).

Well, not me. However, I wouldn't trade all the times I've^H^H^H^H a
close friend has been pulled over, cussed and shouted at, and finally
let off with a verbal warning in exchange for a few waves & smiles!
:-) if you like but I'm serious.

I believe that Apple, Sun and a number of other desktop machine
manufacturers have agreed with the government to incorporate
power-saving techniques; this is also something that governments in
other countries are likely to require in the future, so expect to see
it. This may include the ability for the system to fully power down
the monitor, via a controllable power outlet, and power it back on
automatically. (Is this a "sell" on screen saver software companies?)
Goals for "idle" power consumption have been set at something like 30
watts for the system, not including the monitor (? don't quote me on
this).
Note that in many businesses, the savings will be substantial,
especially if you factor in reduced load on air conditioning systems.
Sun did a study that indicated that simply powering off monitors for
the night would save the company (Sun itself) on the order of $1M per
year. Putting other (and automatic) power-saving features in would
probably have greater than double that value.
Given that we are seeing more and more reason to leave our work and
home computers on (getting faxes, automatically getting email, ...),
building power consumption control into all machines has a potential to
cut ~2% off the national power consumption, based on data I heard.

Pardonon, mi ofte konfuzigxas pri "mola" kaj "malmola". Do: "mol-vara"?
(I was confused between "soft" and "hard", as in "software".)

We are having problems with our Laserwriter print drivers going bad on
various people's machines on our Appletalk network. On our network, people
have 7.0, 7.01, and 7.1 versions of the Laserwriter print driver. We have
been solving the problem by reinstalling the print driver, but it is
time-consuming and a real pain.
The Printmonitor software also seems to go bad frequently. We have also
just been replacing it (over and over, it seems) to keep things running.
Does anyone out there have any ideas about what may be causing the printing
software to go bad? Are there known INIT conflicts or network conflicts?
I would appreciate communication about any similar experiences you may have
had or ideas you have.
You could send me an email directly to: karens@edc.org....

Well, the "jettison for youth fast" strategy was his. Also in hindsight, it
didn't work all that well, but I think it was more because it left the
Sharks on a tightrope without a net, not that it was inherently flawed. It
was the injuries that caused us to fall.
From all indications, it wasn't the "major" factor, but the "last straw".
There were personality conflicts among Shark management, and disagreements
over how personnel were going to be handled (not just who was being traded
vs. kept, but who was being sent to KC. What Ferriera did, if rumors are
right, was not always what the folks behind the bench wanted or needed).
I think if they'd kept Ferriera, they would have lost some of their other
management staff. Depending on which sources you trust, we might have lost
Grillo AND Lombardi AND Murdoch over the summer. Frankly, I want to keep
those three. (we may well ahve also lost Kingston, which, of course, is now
a moot point).
The Sharks have been building an organizational staff that is highly
consensual and cooperative. Ferriera wanted to run things his way. There
were conflicts. Ferriera lost. That says nothing about his skills or
accomplishments -- at that level, a lot is personality and politics.
I think he did some good things for the Sharks, but that he never fit in as
a "Shark person". I hope he succeeds beyond his wildest dreams down in
Anaheim, too, because it'll be good for hockey. (but I want the Ducks to be
doormats for a couple of years, so the Sharks succeeed first).

Gulf has changed the third parts's perception of Arabs.
1. Before, people tended to think Arabs have tough character. After seeing
Iraqis begging for surrender, people do not gave Arabs much weight.
2. People tended to think Arabs are a united people in fighting Isrealis.
After Gulf War, seeing some Arab nations beated up Iraqis in order to
waiver the debt to U.S. and Kuwaitis consistly trying to draw West nations
to hit Iraq again, people started to see Arab World as a dog cage, echoing
sound of barking.

o any of you experts want to analyze Ron Gant?
Is his early season slump because he is still swinging his bat the way
he was last year (trying to hit to all fields, etc.) or has he changed his
swing back to the "old" Gant and is just in a small early season slump.
Is his spot int he lineup even secure, especially the way he has
been hitting?

Performa 200 == Classic II
Performa 400 == LC II
Performa 4xx == LC III
Performa 600 == well, nothing :)
The Performas are made to be low-cost business solutions. The 4xx have
bundled software, modems, etc.
Because they have no "retail price" you might be able to get a steeper
discount on them. Shop around.
As far as the monitors go, buy 3rd party. Much cheaper.

I have no problem with the idea that catechumens be dismissed before
the Eucharist. They were not considered qualified to participate.
Does the dismissal in the early church mean that the eucharist was a
secret? I mean, was it:
you don't have to stay; from now on, only the membership can
participate; you really don't have to hang around; yes, I know
you're obliged to keep up attendance to qualify, but now is an
exception, okay?
or was it:
you may not stay; what happens next is secret
When we have had reason to conduct business meetings after church,
we've made it clear that only members can vote. But we've always been
happy for non-members to stay and observe.
Do you have evidence for intentional secrecy? (Other than rumours,
which will always happen when you have an underclass doing things not
approved of by those in power?)

it hauls butt, handles nice, but is junk. i drove a brand new one for a day
as a loaner. the key was already rusting...seems they stamp their keys out
of pot-metal. all the controls seemed really junk...clutch was heavy.
door locks, power buttons, sunroof controls etc. seemed really cheap.
no way i would pay 24k for this baby. no airbag either. i also drove a svx
for a day...stickered at 30k, but going out the door for 21k...a much better
buy, imo. although it is more of a sports touring coupe...roomy etc.
the corrado is more of a small sports car. the ergonomics and leather in the
svx was twice as nice as the corrado's. both had smooth strong engines.

As quoted from <1993May13.212321.2563@moepi.do.open.de> by bernward@moepi.do.open.de (Bernward Averwald):

The server overhead for this is mildly ridiculous, though (see also DESQview/X,
which does this in its DOS windows). Do you really want xterm to wake up every
half second and whack the server into doing a bitblt?

At least locally, many shops carry a product called Goo Gone. It works well
on scummy-gummy-sticky-goop-that-won't-go-away... As always, color test in
an inconspicuous corner before use.

Good flick, IMHO.

: Bowman is the genius...Johnson isn't. Bowman is a great coach...Johnson,
: a very good one. However, Bowman is really not a modern coach, and
: Patrick's solution of having him only run the team on game days, and
: delegate most of the day-to-day responsibity to the assistants is
: a shrewd managerial decision on Patrick's part.
IMHO Bowman is the perfect coach for this group of players at
this time. Johnson was the perfect coach two years ago for his
group of players. I would say we have been very lucky here in
Pittsburgh that the order these coaches came in was this one.
(Excluding the unfortunate circumstances which brought about the
change.) With the immense talent on the Penguins roster this
year, a tougher Bowman keeps the egos in check. Johnson on the
other hand, was able to inspire the younger, inexperienced players
to new heights. Both coaches have / had different strengths. Both
of which came at exactly the right time.
Another person also mentioned that Bowman is the perfect coach
for this time since nobody can argue with his decisions. How can
you argue with the coach with the best record in hockey anyway?
Playing for a great coach like that demands respect which also
keeps the egos in check.
Just a couple of ideas.

It just received FDA approval a few months ago. I have a
prescription which I haven't had to use yet. I believe the
company [Glaxol] is developing an oral form. At this stage, one
must inject the drug into one's muscle. The doctor said that
within 30 minutes, the migraine is gone for good!

Any opinions on Burzynski's antineoplastons or information about the current
status of his research would be appreciated.
Burzynski's work is not too promising. None of his A-1 through A-5
antineoplastons have been shown to have antineoplastic effects against
experimental cancer. The NCI conducted tests of A-2 and A-5 against
leukemia in mice, with the result that doses high enough to produce
toxic effects in the mice were not effective in inhibiting the growth
of the tumor or killing it. (These were in 1983 and 1985)
Burzynski claims that A-10 is the active factor common to all of A-1
and A-5 (something which he has not shown, A-10 has only been
extracted from A-2. He also hasn't shown that A-1 through A-5 are actually
distinct substances). The NCI conducted a series of tests using A-10
against a standard panel of tumors that included different cell lines
from tumors in the following classes: leukemia, non-small-cell and
small-cell lung cancer, colon cancer, cancer of the central nervous
system, melanoma, ovarian cancer and renal cancer. A-10 exhibited
neither growth inhibition nor cytotoxicity at the dose levels tested.
It is necessary to process A-10 since it is not soluble (Burzynski's
theory requires soluble agents), but this basically hydrolizes it to
PAG (which he calls AS 2.5). PAG is not an information carrying
peptide, something which Byrzynski claims is necessary for
antineoplastic activity. AS 2.1 (also derived from A-10) is a 4:1
mixture of PA and PAG. PA (also not a peptide) can be purchased at a
chemical supply houses for about $0.09 a gram. A-10 is chemically
extremely similar to glutithamide and thalidomide, both of which are
habit forming and can cause peripheral neuropathy. The nasty effects
of thalidomide are widely known. In spite of this similarity, A-10
does not appear to have been tested for it's potential to induce
teratogenicity or peripheral neuropathy.
Many of Burzynski's statements about the origin of his theory, early
research, past and present support by others for his work have been
shown to be untrue.

Hi, there were a couple of articles posted to this group the other
day with the above subject heading. Unfortunately, they expired
before I could read them. I could really use an xterm-like thing
on my Amiga 4000; could somwone give me any information.
Thanks,
