I would guess that it probably has something to do with the ease of which ideas and thoughts are communicated on a college campus. In the real world (tm) it's easier for theists (well, people in general really) to lock themselves into a little bubble where they only see and talk to those people who are of the same opinion as they are. In college you are constantly surrounded by and have to interact with people who have different ideas about life, the universe, and everything. It is much much harder to build a bubble around yourself to keep everyone else's ideas from reaching you. So, in a world where theists are forced to contend with and listen to atheists and theists of other religions some are bound to have a change in their beliefs over four years. There is nowhere to run.... :-)

From article <1993Apr22.145106.158@cathy.ijs.si>, by Borut.B.Lavrencic@ijs.si: [...] [...] Are you sure that the field is in the area you found the antenna farm? The tomb ("Ymvos") of Marathon which Herodotus specifies as near the fighting area is in an area open to the public. You must be referring to the U.S. army base of "Nea Makri". It was built by the U.S. in the same manner as bases all over the world (W. Germany, Spain, Philippines, Turkey etc.) were built. I think it was a telecommunications hub. Over the recent years U.S. forces have withdrawn from the base and removed all military equipment. The area is currently under the control of the Greek Navy until the all interested parties (local goverment, central goverment, political parties agree on what should be done with the land (park, recreation area, real-estate.) (This has nothing to do with cryptography, security and the EFF; I have redirected followups to soc.culture.greek) Diomidis

Wouldn't bother me. I'd laugh. It wouldn't work -- the surface of the Moon is *already* pretty dark, and the contrast would be so poor you couldn't possibly see it. The only reason the Moon looks bright is that it's in bright sunlight against an otherwise-dark sky. Evidently Heinlein didn't know that...

I get "antsy" about posts like this. Is the concern more for son or about ex-w ife??? The standard impartial procedure is to ask for a second opinion about son's condition. Then too, is son "acting out" games between divorced parents????

Actually the company, and the product was ROVAC - which stood for ROTary Air Conditioning..it used a rotary compressor with what was effectively an air/air heat exchanger, and worked pretty well. The negatives were mostly that it was about 5-10% less efficient than using freon, and noise problems from the high velocity/pressure air, all of which were solved by the time the company went bankrupt. It is still a legal entity in Florida, but I believe completely "dead".. and there's a heck of an opurtunity to buy up it's patents and restart the operation...

Quebec dominated Habs for first 2 periods and only Roy kept this one from being rout, although he did blow 2nd goal. Canadians showed up in third but Nords were playing dump & pull back most of the time. Hextall made some good saves but really this one was lost in first period when nords scored 3 & could have had 5, plus another 4 in 2nd. Canadians are dead meat, they may take one or 2 but this one is over. Tee it up Jacques, next time you might rest players & forget about 1st place, welcome to the Adams division.

It is the Serbs who were divided when Croatia and Bosnia-Hercegovina attempted to secede from Yugoslavia, ripping more than 2,000,000 Serbs and their property out of Yugoslavia. The Croatian and Muslim nations had the right to secede, not the Republics. Additionally, the secessions were to be negotiated, which would probably have required international mediation; instead the secessions were illegal, unilateral, and acts of war against Yugoslavia and those who did not want to be ripped out of Yugoslavia by the secessions.

Do you have a better e-mail address, Mr. Lurie? I'm afraid I can't get the short version to work. In any case, on Winfield. Yes, his career BA is a mere .285. He didn't beat this until his sixth year in the majors, and has only topped it once since 1988. His peak was in the early '80s, and included some rather impressive seasons. But then he's also had other scattered great performances (like 1988 and 1992). Definitely *not* a smooth career curve!

Actually, IFF is a *format standard*. It is not a picture file format, sound file format, but there exist several formats that use the IFF standard. The IFF picture standard used by mostly everybody is a FORM ILBM (or just ILBM). The only 3D IFF specification I know of is TDDD, which is used by Imagine and it's predecessor, Turbo Silver. It is possible that some of the other Amiga packages use another *IFF* spec, but I don't know of any. Lightwave will load TDDD FORM's I believe.

Buffalo fans: Some people in the discussion group, as well as "commentator Al" on ESPN, believe that game 3 is critical for the Sabres. HELLOOOO!!!!! The Sabres are AHEAD 2 games to 0, not behind. As a life-long Sabres fan, I am well aware of their ability to choke, but let's not exaggerate that. As long as the Sabres win one of the next 2 games (be it game 3 OR game 4), they are still in good shape (ahead 3 games to 1), with game 6 to be played at Buffalo. If they lose games three AND four, then start worrying. Game 3 is critical for Boston, not Buffalo.

That wasn't my point. My point is that your implied position about the "Waco Massacre" is an assertion cum political position. According to a CNN poll, about 86% of Americans think the FBI acted properly, and a majority think they should have done it (the tear gas) a lot sooner. A large majority also believe the FBI was not at all responsible for the death of the victims, Koresh was. (Let's avoid the kind of fruitless argument of the sort If A hadn't X'd, then B might not have Y'd....) What you call the "Big Brother Chip" is right now a proposal under discussion, and it is not yet clear that strong crypto is going to be banned. Therefore neither justifies "any tactic is fair." Thus the statement is nonsense. It is pernicious, because "any tactic" can lead to damaging others. As I see you know from the tone of your reply, there's nothing personal intended. David

But I believe that there is a fundamental difference here. The other x three instruments are focusing instruments, that, more or less, form an image, so positional errors are limited by craft attitude and the resolving power of the optics. BATSE is an altogether different beast, effectively just 8 coincidence counters, one on each corner of the craft. Positional information is triangulated from the differential signal arrival times at each of the detectors. Positional error would be predominantly determined by timing errors and errors in craft attitude. Since none of the 8 BASTE detectors have any independant angular resolution whatsoever, they can not be used to determine parallax. Indeed, parallax would just add a very small component to the positional error. Demonstrating that these puppies are beyond the oort cloud would require resolution on the order of arcseconds, since the oort cloud is postulated to extend to about 0.5 parsec (all together now: "Parallax ARc SECond", a parsec is the distance of an object that demonstrates one arc second of parallax with a 2 AU base line). If the 3 degree accuracy reported above is true, we're going to have to add a BASTE to the pluto fast flyby to get enough baseline. The beauty of BASTE is that it both gives positional information and watches the entire sky simultaneously, a realy handy combination when you have no idea where the next burst is coming from.

I have to say I think this is the first time there has been something posted that opposed me without making personal insults. Congradulations tim. I think the other people answered you on most of the factual parts(esp. about the internal conflicts policy). Israel very often gets away with more than most other nations (Due to U.S. vetos). While I am not familiar with every instance I know that the reason Saudi Arabia was not condemned for killig the pilgrims was that the pilgrims were iranian. Yes, the UN is biased but mostly in favor of the US and its allies (Including Israel, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan) and against "Outlaw" countries like iran and more recently Iraq. Far be it from me to support the repressive governments there but I think they get more slack than Israel for things they do "wrong". Again the reason some condemnations don't occur lies in the race or country of the victims. The gassed Iraqi kurds got associated with Iran in the war and since Iran was perceived as worse than Iraq no condemnation resulted. The palestinians killed by arab countries involved another case of who cares. It seems that until very recently no one cared about how many palestinians died anywhere (including in Israel and the occupied territories). Again I appreciate the lack of personal insults.

Some TV's, including my RCA set at home, uses simple carriers which I think run between 32 and 36 or 38 KHz. There is no tone decoding in it. All one has to do to piss the thing off :-) is just hook an IRLED up to a variable oscillator and tune through. Wreaks all kinds of havoc. :-) Similarly, my VCR remote changes channels on my cable box. Always seems to change the cable box to channel 5 when you do the pause/play. SOOOO, some things do have some overlap to them.

A bright light phenomenon was observed in the Eastern Finland on April 21. At 00.25 UT two people saw a bright, luminous pillar-shaped phenomenon in the low eastern horizont near Mikkeli. The head of the pillar was circular. The lower part was a little winding. It was like a monster they told. They were little frightened. Soon the yellowish pillar became enlarged. A bright spot like the Sun was appeared in the middle of the phenomenon. At last the light landed behind the nearby forest. Now there was only luminous trails in the sky which were visible till morning sunrise. The same phenomenon was observed also by Jaakko Kokkonen in Lappeenranta. At 00.26 UT he saw a luminous yellowish trail in the low northeastern horizont. The altitude of the trail was only about 3-4 degrees. Soon the trail began to grow taller. A loop was appeared in the head of the trail. It was like a spoon. This lasted only 10 seconds. Now the altitude was about five degress above horizont. He noted a bright spot at the upper stage of loop. The spot was at magnitude -2. The loop became enlarged and the spot was now visible in the middle of the loop. A cartwheel-shaped trail was appeared round the bright spot. After a minute the spot disappeared and only fuzzy trails were only visible in the low horizont. Luminous trails were still visible at 01.45 UT in the morning sky. The phenomenon was caused by a Russian rocket. I don't know if there were satellite launches in Plesetsk Cosmodrome near Arkhangelsk, but this may be a rocket experiment too. Since 1969 we have observed over 80 rocket phenomena in Finland. Most of these are rocket experiments (military missile tests?), barium experiments and other chemical releases. During these years we have observed 17 satellite launches. Leo Wikholm

That they usually get a goal or an assist. can you explain this or is it that they usually talk to stars more than regular players which explains the hight percentage of results after.

2) Hitting....Hawks tried to outmuscle Blues but could not do it. Instead, Blues matched Hawks hit for hit and crunched the shit out of them in game #4.....Scud line, Shanahan, Butcher, and Zombo particularly took turns bashing favorite targets like Chelios. 3) Skating.....when the Hawks tried to outskate Blues, they could not do that either. Nelson Emerson finally showed up and skated circles around flat footed Chicago defense.....Hedican, Felsner, Ron Wilson and others also proved that with old cement skaters like Goulet and Keith Brown, Blues could lap Chicago in a 400 M relay race. I agree with #2 but you are wrong about #3. In fact, the only point where the Hawks in any way matched the Blues was when they quit trying to outmuscle and instead tried to outskate the Blues. They scored and took the lead. Too bad it was Game 4 and they then took some stupid penalties. When the Hawks skated, they outskated the Blues and took control.

: : I am interrested in the extrodinarily simple concept of the null modem : cable. (Actually I have NO idea, so don't count that last statement.) What I'm : asking is what pins does it use (or what are it's specifications?) I just want : to solder one myself instead of buying one. I don't even know what port is : used. : : Help me please (at ke_kimmell@vax.cns.muskingum.edu) : : Kevin : : p.s. I'm intending to use the cable for PC-to-PC transfers (via Lap-Link or : Telix. Ideas and info gladly accepted.) I do not have specific knowledge of Lap-Link or Telix, but my recommendation for ANY package is to follow each one's instructions for making the null- modem cable. The reason is that each one may be different since there isn't really a standard for PC to PC communications. The following is a tutorial I wrote up that will give you an understanding about RS-232 and null modems, but you should still check your software! I will eplain a couple of details of RS-232. RS-232 is a commumications specification for communicating between a computer and a modem. Actually it can be between any end system and any communications hardware. The terminology used is Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and DATA Communications Equipment (DCE). RS-232 spells out the voltage levels, the connector type, the pinouts, and the signal protocols. The connector is a "DB-25" but IBM has set an alternative "standard" of DB-9. The primary signals are Transmit Data (TD), Recieve Data (RD), and Signal Ground (SG). There are other signals that provide control between the DTE and the DCE. For example, the DTE announces that it is powered up and ready to participate in communications via the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signal. DTR is an output on the DTE and an input on the DCE. Similarly, the DCE announces that it is ready to participate in communications via the Data Set Ready (DSR) signal. DSR is an input on the DTE and an output on the DCE. Ok that's five signals; there are only four more of interest. The Request To Send (RTS) signal is an output from the DTE (and an input to the DCE) that is used to ask the DCE permission to send data. If the DCE agrees, it sends an ok via the Clear To Send (CTS) signal. (For completeness, the CTS is an input to the DTE and an output from the DCE). The other two signals (of interest) are Ring Indicator (RI) and Data Carrier Detect (DCD). These are both inputs to the DTE and outputs from the DCE. RI is just what you would expect - a signal to the DTE saying that someone is attempting to establish a connection to the DCE. This is rather specific to the modem / telephone line setup. DCD is a way for the DCE to announce that the "connection" has been established i.e. the local DCE is talking to some remote DCE. There - that's it. Oh there are many other RS-232 signals defined, but they are obsolete. I have explained the nine signals that are on a PC. The pinouts are as follows: Name DB-9 DB-25 SG 5 7 TD 3 2 RD 2 3 DTR 4 20 DSR 6 6 DCD 1 8 RTS 7 4 CTS 8 5 RI 9 22 Now to address your problem at hand. When you connect a PC to a PC (a DTE to a DTE), there is no DCE pair in the middle and therefore the RS-232 signal definitions don't work out quite right. There is no DCE to assert the CTS, DSR, DCD, or RI. So the common thing to do is to not use these signals at all - and also forget about the DTR and RTS outputs as well. If this is done you simply make a null modem (a cable) that passes through SG, and crosses TD and RD (i.e. pin 2 of one end connects to pin 3 at the other end, etc). The problem with this solution is that a PC that wants to send data has no way of knowing if the other PC is ready. It would have to just send the data and hope it got through. Therefore a better null modem would include the DTR/DSR pair crossed. A particular point a confusion is in the software area. Just because you run the wires does not mean that the soft- ware will use them. If you are using the built-in BIOS to control the serial port, then the BIOS dictates what wires you need and how they are to be used. But if you have a comm. package such as Brooklyn Bridge, or Lap- Link or Telix, then those packages dictate the cabling requirements. The only thing you can guess reliably is the SG, TD, and RD. The DTR/DSR is also fairly common. There is one more issue that needs to be addressed here. And that is flow control. In the RS-232 scenerio, the DCE's are responsible for flow control and it is assumed that the DCE couldn't possible over-run the DTE. By this I mean that as long as the DTE has its DTR line asserted, the DCE will send data - without requesting permission first. Note the contrast to the other direction of data flow: the DTE must request permission by asserting the RTS line and it must wait for the CTS signal before it can send. And now in the DTE to DTE scenerio, the question is do you need flow control? The answser is usually. But how? For non-binary communications, one common technique is XON - XOFF which is implemented in software - no wires are dedicated to flow control; the TD and RD carry the XON and XOFF commands. This type of flow control can be used in addition to hardware flow control, but the problem is that you can't send binary data because your data might include the XON or XOFF codes and cause erroneous conrol signals. (A work around is to have the software insert and extract "escape" codes, but the hardware flow control is prefered). The problem with hard- ware flow control is that there is no standard. There are lots of ways to do it and I bet they have all been tried. One cornerstone of all the methods is to use the RTS/CTS for one direction. But beyond that anything is fair game. Again, you must look to you comm package for cabling requirements. But I bet you'll find that one cable (if wired properly) could work with all of the packages as long as they are of the same vintage. By the way, I am familiar with one package that uses RTS/CTS and DTR/DSR for flow control the RTS is request to send and the DTR is ready to recieve, the CTS is the clear to send and the DSR is the request to recieve. This does not mean a differnt cable - it is just software. The clincher to all of this cabling stuff is that it is common to have the UART directly controlled by the CTS signal which means that the CTS must be present even if you are not support- ing it in software. For these cases you will find cables that short the RTS to the CTS at the same end (or perhaps the DTR to the CTS). Other possible shorting might be done just because the software expects certain signals that you don't have (or don't feel like providing because it would mean additional wires). Specifically I am talking about the DSR. Shorting the DTR to the DSR is not a good idea in general but you may find cables like this. It is a bad idea because it defeats the whole purpose. One more "gotcha" signal is the DCD. Some software (including the PC BIOS) expects to see the DCD before it will work. This signal sometimes gets shorted with the DTR. But my favorite null modem has the RTS and CTS shorted at each end, but the RTS is also connected through to the other end and connected to DCD. And of course the DTR/DSR are crossed as are the TD/RD and of course the SG must pass through. This null modem works with most software. The flow control, if any, can use the RTS/DCD with the DTR/DSR. If your comm. package does not specify the cable required for PC to PC connection, then I suggest you use this one. TD ------ RD RD ------ TD DTR ------ DSR DSR ------ DTR DCD ------ RTS-\ /-RTS ------ DCD | \-CTS CTS-/

[ There are actually some talk.abortion related comments below, believe it or not... ] Well, if our observer X is as likely to be in A's position as B's, and if he agrees that both A and B are making appropriate observations and inferences regarding the situation, then I would expect him to conclude that there is no right answer. Hopefully there would be some other factor which would allow him to make some judgement regarding which answer to accept. If, on the other hand, he disagrees with the principles of either A or B, I suspect he would make a decision in favour of the other one. It is unfortunately the case that not all moral arguments have answers from all perspectives. For instance, I am completely unable to come to any conclusion regarding whether abortion should be allowed or not, from my perspective. In an ideal world, all living things would have a right to life; but in an ideal world, women would have the absolute right to do what they like with their own bodies. Clearly there is no way to resolve in favour of both these principles. Therefore I agree with the compromise solution of allowing abortion up to a certain time after conception, and deciding on the time based on various (sometimes ill-defined) criteria. This is also a sensible move, I think, because it lets people make their own decisions (within reason). And for what it's worth, I am reasonably happy with current UK abortion law. Similarly, the situation in what's left of Yugoslavia is a horrible mess, and I really can't see my way to any sort of conclusion. There, I don't even know enough to imagine what sort of compromise one might manage.

Claude, I've not heard or read anything that would suggest that vitamin A( retinol) could reverse hearing loss due to nerve damage(usually caused by high sound levels, but also occassionally due to severe infection). The types of cells that vitamin A regulates are the general epithelial cells and these cell types are not the ones that function in the ear hearing process. The hair cell nerve-like epithelial cells in the ear may respond to vitamin A during cellular differentiation(embryogenesis) but I don't know if they are still capable of responding in adults. If they are capable of responding with new hair growth, this would be a very major breakthrough in hearing loss. With all of the medical interest in vitamin A, it would not be too surprising if a clinical study was done using vitamin A to reverse hearing loss. But with only a news announcement to go on(and this type of communication is notoriously bad), I can't comment on your question anymore than I already have. If one study has been done, more will need to follow to firm up a link between vitamin A and hearing loss if there really is one.

es: A couple other problems with the 486DX/50: 1.) System manufacturers had MAJOR problems solving the electromagnetic interference problems with 486DX/50 systems. Getting an FCC-B (home use) certification required additional shielding in the system. 2.) HEAT...a lot of people seem to be installing heat sinks and/or cooling fans on their 486DX2/66 chips. I would guess that the 486DX/50 ran temperatures inside the case even hotter. And heat is the enemy of system reliability. Ed

In the videos of the original BATF attack on the BD church, did anyone happen to see BATF agents on the highest structure, where Koresh's room was? I don't recall seeing BATF agents higher than the roof of the lowest structures, so I made an assumption that BATF helos did the firing down into the tower. Any other info on how the rounds came through the roof?

He is sure to be drafted in the top 3 this summer at the NHL entry draft. Canada defeated Italy 11-2 and Austria 11-0 before meeting the Russians on Sunday. The Canadians now face Finland in the Quarter - finals on Tuesday.

This is a fundamental aspect of Novell's business; they wouldn't be where they are if they didn't live up to their "Novell Does Printing" slogan. We run 6 printers of varying types off our Novell network; I'm sure there are places with hundreds. RTFM on the CAPTURE command, PRINTCON, PSERVER, and the sections of the Windows 3.1 manual which cover network printing. If you haven't bought Novell's products yet, rephrase your question and look for information about how *well* various competitors do printing.

How quaint of you to point this out, and then to completely ignore all of the blatant lies you've trotted out. The scenario and genocide staged by the Armenians 78 years ago in Eastern Anatolia and x-Soviet Armenia is being reenacted again - this time in Azerbaijan. There are remarkable similarities between the plots, the perpetrators, and the underdogs. Remember, in article <2BAC262D.25249@news.service.uci.edu>, you have blatantly lied and still have not corrected yourself. I'll let the rest of the net judge this on its own merits. Source: 'The Sunday Times,' 1 March 1992 (a British Weekly, written by Thomas Goltz, from Agdam, Azerbaijan.) ARMENIAN SOLDIERS MASSACRE HUNDREDS OF FLEEING FAMILIES. The spiralling violence gripping the outer republics of the former Soviet Union gained new impetus yesterday with cold-blooded slaughter of hundreds of women and children in war-racked Nagorno-Karabakh. Survivors reported that Armenian soldiers shot and bayoneted more than 450 Azeris, many of them women and children, who were fleeing an attack on their town. Hundreds, possibly thousands, were missing and feared dead. The attackers killed most of the soldiers and volunteers defending the women and children. They then turned their guns on the terrified refugees. The few survivors later described what happened:" That's when the real slaughter began," said Azer Hajiev, one of three soldiers to survive. "The Armenians just shot and shot. And then they came in and started carving up people with their bayonets and knives." " They were shooting, shooting, shooting", echoed Rasia Aslanova, who arrived in Agdam with other women and children who made their way through Armenian lines. She said her husband, Kayun, and a son-in-law were killed in front of her. Her daughter was still missing. One boy who arrived in Agdam had an ear sliced off. The survivors said 2000 others, some of whom had fled separately, were still missing in the gruelling terrain; many could perish from their wounds or the cold. By late yesterday, 479 deaths had been registered at the morgue in Agdam's morgue, and 29 bodies had been buried in the cemetery. Of the seven corpses I saw awaiting burial, two were children and three were women, one shot through the chest at point blank range. Agdam hospital was a scene of carnage and terror. Doctors said they had 140 patients who escaped slaughter, most with bullet injuries or deep stab wounds. Nor were they safe in Agdam. On friday night rockets fell on the city which has a population of 150,000, destroying several buildings and killing one person. Now wait, there is more. IT'S INHUMANE TO IGNORE THIS VIOLENCE The stories of survivors of Karabag massacre: 69 year old Hatin Nine telling: -''My Twin grandchildren were cut to pieces in front of my eyes. They told me: We won't kill you. But the babies have to die in front of your eyes.'' 72 year old Huseyin Ibrahimoglu: - ''Our Turkish village in Khojalu Town was blown up in two hours. Turks, you must die.'' 28 year old Gulsum Huseyin: - ''They bayonetted my 3 year old daughter in her stomach in front of my eyes.'' Are these stories lies? Have the eye-witnesses been day-dreaming? Were these stories forged by Turkish journalists in the region? The nonsense of such a claim is clear from the writings of British Journalists, too. Two days before we had quoted from a Sunday Times article. They[British] reported the events in Karabag even before Turkish journalists. What is more here are the pictures. Pictures of people who were bayonetted, whose eyes were gouged, ears cut off. Even the Armenian Radio couldn't claim these "lies." They are saying "exaggeration." That means ''somethings'' have happened but the situation is not as bad as reported. Perhaps that village of Khojalu town was destroyed in 4 hours, instead of 2... Or Gulsum Huseyin's 3 year old daughter was bayonetted in her chest instead of stomach... The massacre is clearly seen with all its dimensions. The effects of this massacre on Karabag and environs cannot be reduced by any word. Some of the western press', led by some French Newspapers, ability to ''close their eyes'' is nothing but complicity in this massacre. Yesterday we gave samples from Le Figaro. Until yesterday's print no news about the real events in Karabag were printed. So were the French TV channels.. The subject they considered related to Karabag was ''The necessity of protecting Armenians against Azeri attacks.'' The age we are living in is termed a human rights age. There are lots of organizations such as United Nations and CSCE(Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe), and rules, all designed to fight against human rights violations. International reactions must be made with international cooperation. With support of everybody and every organization claiming to be civilized. Could there be a more serious human rights violation than that of the right to live -and with such levels of barbarity and cruelty-? Where is the cooperation? Where are the reactions? And the intellectuals, journalists, writers, TV stations of certain western countries such as France who are fast to claim leadership of "human rights?" Where are you? Serdar Argic

Would someone be kind enought to document the exact nature of the evidence against the BD's without reference to hearsay or newsreports. I would also like to know more about their past record etc. but again based on solid not media reports. My reason for asking for such evidence is that last night on Larry King Live a so-called "cult-expert" was interviewed from Australia who claimed that it was his evidence which led to the original raid. This admission, if true, raises the nasty possibility that the Government acted in good faith, which I believe they did, on faulty evidence. It also raises the possibility that other self proclaimed cult experts were advising them and giving ver poor advice.

1. You haven't shown any disproportionate involvement. 2. The Janus Report, which came out recently, gives 9% as the percentage of exclusively or predominantly gay men. 3. No one is presumably going to say they're gay if they're not. But some no doubt are going to hide their homosexuality in surveys. Thus the 1-2% is a lower limit. I still say that weighing all the evidence gives a most likely percentage between 5 and 7%. Brian

This is not at all comparable. Christianity is the main stream in western culture. You are trivializing the experiences of others. I remember what it was like being "different" as a Christian. We were told all the time that we were different, and in fact that only members of the our church were really Christians (though others who believed in God weren't as bad as atheists), so we were a small minority. That was nothing compared to being an atheist. The only thing comparable would be a young child being Christian being surrounded by staunch atheists, including parents, who actively persecute any religious tendancies - both actual punishments and, even worse, emotional blackmail. They would also have to have the whole mainstream society on their side. Maybe these conditions could have occured in the old Soviet Union* not in a country with "under God" in its pledge of allegiance. * I doubt it even then, because children have to be taught to be Christians and hence must have support somewhere. Yes. My atheism was "born of necessity." For an intellectually honest person belief is mostly a response to evidence. Will or wishes have nothing to do with it. I could choose to lie, or to be silent about my true beliefs. I could no more choose to believe in the God of Christianity than I could decide that the ordinary sky looks red to me. Still I should be clear that I'm not equating what I went through with what gays go through. However it is a mistake to assume that everyone who goes through painful experiences are broken by them. Happily some are made stronger, once we get past it. Not without going to details and violating the confidences of some of my childhood friends. Suffice it say to that religion does not guarantee that a person will be happy and strong emotionally, and a repressive upbringing can leave its scars even, or especially, on those who don't get free of it. I doubt that any sane and sincere person doubts that and I feel no need to defend it. By the way I am much happier and stronger being out of the closet. In the end it has been, as someone eloquently put it in private email, an experience of liberation rather than disillusion.

[stuff about hardware keys] True, which is why many of the newer keys ship out, oh, maybe 32 bits or so, have the key encrypt them, and return them to the PC. Making a bunch of these 32 bits part of your program code is a good way to make sure things won't run without the key. :-) Anyway, then, this scheme at least defeats your approach. It's a little costly, though. Personally, I don't believe in copy protection, and agree with the thought that the mass inconvenience that it causes all legal users far outweighs the gains from what few pirates won't be able to copy the program.

Kent Sandvik and Jon Livesey made essentially the same response, so this time Kent's article gets the reply: This begs the question of whether it ever "started"-- perhaps because accuracy was always an intention. It makes little difference if you have eyewitnesses or people one step away (reporters, if you will). As I said earlier, the "telephone" metaphor is innately bad, because the purpose of a game of telephone is contrary to the aims of writing these sorts of texts. (Also, I would point out that, by the standards generally asserted in this group, the distinction between eyewitnesses and others is hollow, since nobody can be shown to be an eyewitness, or indeed, even shown to be the author of the text.) There is no evidence that the "original" texts of either the OT or the NT are largely lost over time in a sea of errors, "corrections", additions and deletions. In the case of the NT, the evidence is strongly in the other direction: the Textus R. and the Nestle-Aland text do not differ on more than a low level of significance. It is reasonable to assume a similar situation for the OT, based on the NT as a model.

Muslims already have, they accepted the Vance Owen plan that gives 50% of the population (Serbian statistics put it at 44%) only 25% of the territory. They gave some totally Muslim villages and areas to Croatia and Serbia, they in effect gave the Serbs the land they grabbed while slaughtering the Muslims anbd raping their women and expelling the survivors. Still the Serbs (NOT BOSNIAN SERBS because the real Bosnian Serbs are fighting with Muslims to defend Bosnia from Serbs, those so called Bosnian Serbs refused to be part of Bosnia and wanted a greater Serbia), still those Serbs refused, they have the necessary weapons to kill more Muslims and grab more territory.

There are a number of inaccuracies here: 1) In fact, a colder battery will self-discharge more slowly. This is why batteries should be stored in a COOL, dry place. 2) An battery placed on concrete does not become colder than one placed on wood. The battery, the wood, and the concrete will all be at the same general temperature (ignoring temperature fluctuations) and thus none will effect the other. There is no need to 'exercise' the battery. Just keep it charged. (A trickle charger will do the job.)

Acetone will likely damage the carpet. First solvent to try is denatured alcohol. Do not waste your time with rubbing alcohol. You can use methyl alcohol instead of denatured alcohol. If you want to have a cocktail while you are removing the goo, use pure grain alcohol :-). If the alcohol does not work try carbon tetrachloride. If neither of these work you may need to try a stronger solvent, but the alcohol works for most adhesives. Good luck.

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. rj3s, you say that there is no evidence that what motivated the Irgun to attack Dir Yassin was its strategic importance. In fact, Begin, who was in charge of the Irgun, wrote that Dir Yassin was attacked for its military significance. Dir Yassin was merely a battle in the War of Liberation. People died. But the thing was never intended to be a masacre. That this hapenned is a tragedy of war - not a crime of the Irgun.

I wonder where you have been getting your mis-information from. Straight from the BATF itself? Koresh and his followers did not -capture- the compound a few years ago, it has always been theirs. A few years ago their was an argument over who should lead the group, a gunfight erupted *one* person died. Koresh was charged with the murder. When the sheriff came to arrest him, the sheriff knocked on the dorr and showed Koresh the warrant (a tactic that the BATF might try learning). Koresh and the others charged peacibly surrendered to the sherrif. A trial ensued, the others were found innocent, and the jury hung on Koresh's charge.

REPOST: I have two questions (well probably more...) about how Expose & Configure events are handled. I have an appl. which uses 1 window to draw in. Since I give the user the capability of scaling and zooming as well as allowing the window to be resized, I made a translation table for the Expose & Configure events. The Expose event calls my redraw method while the Configure event calls my rescale method. The rescale method invokes a "fake" Expose event (actually just calls the redraw w/ an appropriate Expose struct) to draw the data. Quest 1. When the appl. is compiled/linked w/ R4 (running in either R4 or R5 env.) I get multiple (>4) redraws when the window gets uncovered or the size is changed. I assume I'm getting cascading events. Is that right? Any suggestions as to how to handle/trap events in a better way? Quest 2. When the appl. is compiled/linked w/ R5 I get no Expose events whatsoever. Do events and/or translation tables act differently in R5? Thanks in advance

The problem is that this will also cause "a certain amount of interference" in *all* systems within the range of the device. A long time ago I built a small jammer to dissuade my brother from using his radio alarm clock at something like 4am, which had just enough range to cover my room and his. However something powerful enough to mask all (or at least most) emissions from your computer equipment is also going to knock out half your neighbourhoods radio and TV reception. This isn't going to make you many friends. Incidentally, an older-model TRS80 makes a fine wideband jammer <grin> Peter.

Yes, there are these two senses of interpretation, and certainly our decision to accept Scripture as inspired ultimately rests on our own private opinion. However, when reading Scripture, we have to remember that the Scriptures were given by God for our instruction, and that the interpretation that matters is the one God intended. For example, if I decide that the fact that John the Baptist is Elijah teaches the doctrine of reincarnation, I am wrong because that is not the intended interpretation. The prophets didn't make up this teaching; it came from God, and we must accept it as such. This necessarily means that our private interpretations must take a back seat to the meaning God intended to convey. Certainly we must rely on our best efforts to determine what this meaning is, but this very fact should make us recognize that our private interpretations cannot be automatically accepted as the infallible interpretation of God. We need to test the spirits to see if they are from God. When the Holy Spirit speaks, he says the same thing to all; he won't tell me that a passage means one thing and tell you it means another. If the two of us come to conflicting conclusions, we can't both be completely right. We know our interpretations are reliable only when the Church as a whole agrees on what Scripture means. This is how we know the doctrines of the Trinity, the dual nature of Christ, etc. infallibly. These matters are not up for private interpretation. This is the reason Peter goes on to talk about the deceptiveness of the false teachers. They preferred their own private interpretation to the God-given teaching of the apostles. It is through such private interpretation that the traditions of men, so soundly denounced in Scripture, are started.

Hello, Can somebody tell me what kind of MOV's are most useful for a computer surge protector? Radio Shack have 2 types, both rated 130V, one for a 10A current and the other for 20A. On the other hand, commercial surge protectors I have seen claim a clamping voltage of 330V-400V, which SEEMS to me in imply a rated voltage of about 250V (250V * SQRT(2.)=353). What is the right kind? While at it, ow important is really the EMI/RFI module? Is there really any noticable level of such noise in the power line? Please- E-MAIL to me, as this group has too much volume for me to be able to follow.

========================================================================== Yes, we do have a beautiful country. And I enjoy it. Most of all, I enjoy the thought that I have the means and can exercise my rights to defend me and mine. And I want to thank all of you good folks, like Prescod, who remind me of what I have. Along this line, I watched a documentary on one of the Nazi concentration camps. Stacks and stacks of bodies. There were scenes of Hitler speechifying, and what struck me, was the reverence and adoration on the faces of the people in the crowds. I guess they were happy that Hitler had implemented full gun control and was taking care of the Jewish problem all at the same time.

I doubt if Koresh had let the BATF have a look inside his place as they intended to do, "orchestrated character assassination, noise torture, and a holocaust" would never have come to pass. The BD's killed members of the BATF on the first day. "Orchestrated character assassination and noise torture" seem like a small retribution. The use of tanks is quesionable however. --Abhijit

Well that may be true. However, the man page for pageview for OW 2.0 does not mention about DSC compliance. In any event, the point here is that if you try to display some PS files using pageview you will find out that it's not a practical tool.

They also have a lot of the other voters really irritated at them. Okay, folks, I know I'm in the minority on this issue, but I can't let this assertion go unchallenged yet again. I'm going to say this ONLY ONCE, in the hopes of NOT starting a flame war off of the main topic. Guns are offensive. Cryptography is defensive. See the difference? The only way you can use a gun is to hurt somebody else. Crypto- graphy helps prevent other people from hurting you.

Either A: God exists, or B: He doesn't. We have two choices, either 1: Believe in God, or 2: Don't believe in God. If A is true, then 2 brings eternal damnation, whereas 1 brings eternal life. If B is true, then 1 has minor inconvenience compared with 2. Thus, it is rational to believe in God. This has numerous flaws, covered in the FAQ for alt.atheism, amongst other places. Disillusionment strikes me as an excellent reason for stopping believing in something.

Greetings! I have 2 sets of plugs for your oscilloscope or function hooks. I also have 2 sets of probes. They have multipliers of x1 and x10. There is also an REF switch. All these probes and plugs are in excellent conditions. If interested, please make me an offer. I will respond to your replies by Wed.

No wonder that we don't see any detail for this claim. It is good to remember that you have answered the statement that you are a theist by another correspondent with that you are not a member of a denomination. It is either stupidity or an attempt at a trick answer. Not unlike the rest of your arguments. I am extremely wary of the way you use words. Like in this case, there are broader definitions of gods used by persons who are considered by themselves and others theists. I have pointed to that in my post. You use one of them. Your use of definitions seems to rest on the assumption: because my moral is objective/absolute or the other buzz words you are so fond of, everybody will know it, and there is no need to define it more exactly. And as a user has shown recently, the easiest way to dispell you is to ask you for definitions.

Personally, I think it was Mrs. O'Leary's cow that knocked over that lantern... :*)

I am not familiar with, or knowledgeable about the original language, but I believe there is a word for "idol" and that the translator would have used the word "idol" instead of "graven image" had the original said "idol." So I think you're wrong here, but then again I could be too. I just suggesting a way to determine whether the interpretation you offer is correct.

I don't see any way that the concrete floor could do anything to the battery. However, you would have been better off leaving them outside. Keeping them cold would have been better for them than bringing them inside. A warm battery will self-discharge faster than a cold one. When you are storing a battery it's a good idea to charge it once a month. Letting a battery go completely dead is bad for it (I suspect this is what caused your problems). --

KS> This is the story of Kent, the archetype Finn, that lives in the KS> Bay Area, and tried to purchase Thomas Paine's "Age of Reason". This KS> man was driving around, to Staceys, to Books Inc, to "Well, Cleanlighted KS> Place", to Daltons, to various other places. KS> When he asked for this book, the well educated American book store KS> assistants in most placed asked him to check out the thriller section, KS> or then they said that his book has not been published yet, but they KS> should receive the book soon. In some places the assistants bluntly KS> said that they don't know of such an author, or that he is not KS> a well known living author, so they don't keep copies of his books. KS> Such is the life and times of America, 200+ years after the revolution. Sigh, now I don't feel so bad. Searching for a copy in bookstores has been a habit of mine for at least two years now. I spend a *lot* of time browsing through bookstores, new and and used, and I've not once seen a copy. Now, I know, all I do is pick up a phone and order the darned thing, but come on, this is America and he's one of the founding fathers. And no one carries his books? Sure, you can find "Common Sense" but I think that's because it's required reading for most colleges. I did find one hole-in-the-wall bookstore where the owner said that they usually carry one or two copies, but that they were currently out. I haven't been back since so I don't know if he was telling the truth or not. sigh...
