Which is a helluva lot more than any Republican attorney general ever did!
BTW, why all the crocodile tears over wasting a few religious nuts, who
wanted to be wasted anyway? We just got back from wasting a few hundred
thousand religious nuts over in the Middle East, and everybody cheered!!

How is it that placebos are legal? It would seem to me that if, as a patient,
you purchase a drug you've been prescribed and it's just sugar (or whatever),
there's a few legal complications that arise:
1.
If you have been diagnosed with a condition and you aren't given accepted
treatment for it, it seems like intentional medical malpractice.
2.
A placebo should fall, legally, under the label of quackery (why not?)
3.
Getting what you pay for. (Deceptive "bait and switch" to an extreme...). False
advertising (what if McDonalds didn't put 100% pure beef in their hamburgers?)
So I'm mystified. Are these assumptions erred? If they aren't, why the
hell can a doctor knowingly or unknowingly prescribe a placebo?

Subject: Zionists reject non-Jews. News
Ethiopian Jews and not-quite Jews
The Israeli press has published items about Ethiopian
Jews waiting in camps in Addis Ababa for immigration to
Israel, who are dying of starvation. The following are
excerpts from an interview with the former general
director of the JDC project for development and welfare
of Ethiopian Jews, Kobi Friedman (Hadashot, 21 April
1993), who has stated that "there are people dying in
Addis Ababa, but they are converts to Christianity":
"Hadashor published the item about the dying Jews after
viewing a video tape filmed last week in Adis Ababa.
How do you know that they are actually converts to
Chritianity ?
"If there are Jews on the tape, then I don't know what to
say. I am speaking from experience when I say that those
who remained in Ethiopia are Christians. I know that
there have previously been things published in the press
by interesting parties, and there is no connection
between them and reality."
"What interested parties ?"
"Ethiopian immigrants who want their Christian relatives
to come here."
"What to you recommend that Ethiopian children in Israel
do, when their parents and the rest of their relatives
remain in Ethiopia ?"
"I ask if it is the job of the State of Israel to bring in the
40 relatives who stayed in Ethiopia. Well, my answer is
that it is not. It would be a better solution, economically
as well, for that young man to buy a one-way ticket to
Ethiopia and reunite with his family there."

Let me get this right - sorry, try again. Let me get this straight -
well maybe that too is a poor choice of words - someone might think
I'm pushing a gay agenda. How about: let me try to understand this
by re-phrasing it as an extreme. I, as a minority of one, have no right
to a beautiful world. You, on the other hand have the right to make an
ugly one because you presume to speak for all the rest. And I cannot
complain. Curious.
..
And do you want everyone to do as you wish (insist on putting something
up that will impact everyone for selfish reasons) _without_ any legislation?
And no one else can even object? Somehow I think this whole shoving
contest has gotten way off the track. I'm ready to let this thread
die a quick and merciful death.

(I presume you are quoting John 3:3-7.)
1. My King James Bible says "Except a man be born of water
and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God"
(John 3:5). (Here "man" == "adult").
(However, this could be a quibble between translations.)
2. We can also analyze to whom the Lord is addressing:
"Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again"
(John 3:7). Here Jesus is clearly directing his remarks
to Nicodemus -- a ruler of the Jews (not a child).
3. We can ask ourselves why the Lord would even
introduce the concept of spiritual re-birth through
baptism if newborn babies weren't free from sin?

I'm running xterm under X11R5, Motif 1.1, mwm and UNIX SVR4 on a UNISYS
386 based machine. My default shell is /bin/csh or the C shell. Whenever
I run xterm, I get the following message before the first C shell prompt:
Warning: no access to tty; thus no job control in this shell...
After this, I can't run any job control commands like fg, bg etc. Also,
I can't run another xterm from the command line of this xterm (I can only
launch additional xterms from a .mwmrc menu).
I'd appreciate some help with this problem, or pointers to where I can get
some help. By the way, my environment variable TERM is set to xterm.

Batse alone isn't always used to determine position. WHen a
particularly bright burst occurs, There are a couple of other detectors that
catch it going off. Pioneer 10 or 11 is the one I'm getting at here. This
puppy is far enough away, that if a bright burst happens nearby, the huge
annulus created by it will hopefully intersect the line or general circle given
by BATSE, and we can get a moderately accurate position. Say oh, 2 or 3
degrees. That is the closest anyone has ever gotten with it.
Actually, my advisor, another classmate of mine, and me were talking
the other day about putting just one detector on one of the Pluto satellites.
THen we realized that the satellite alone is only carrying something like 200
pounds of eq. Well, a BATSE detector needs lead shielding to protect it, and 1
alone weighs about 200 pounds itself.

I'm sure all of you have heard of the extraordiary start by rookie
J.T. Snow of the California Angeles. Other than the fact that his
father was a star receiver with the L.A. Rams and is now a radio
personality in Los Angeles and J.T. came from the Yankees organization
I don't know much about J.T. If anyone has info and background on
the young fenom....please post.
By the way, for those of you not following his exploits he has hit
four home runs in three days. Two last night. He has also delivered
the winning hit a couple of times for the Angeles in this young season.

Last week I went to see a gastroenterologist. I had never met this
doctor before, and she did not know what I was there for. As soon as I
arrived, somebody showed me to an examining room and handed me a gown.
They told me to undress (from the waist down, to be exact) and wait for the
doctor. Is this the usual drill when you go to a doctor for the first
time? I don't have much experience going to doctors (knock on wood), but
on the couple of occasions when I've gone to a new doctor, I met him
with my clothes on. First, he introduced himself, asked what I was there
for and took a history, all before I undressed.
Are patients usually expected to get naked before meeting a doctor
for the first time? Personally, I'd prefer to meet the doctor on
something remotely resembling a condition of parity and to establish an
identity as a person who wears clothes before dropping my drawers. If
nothing else, it minimizes the time that I have to spend in the self
conscious, ill at ease and vulnerable condition of a person with a bare
bottom talking to somebody who is fully clothed.
Does anybody besides me regard this get-naked-first-and-then-we-can-talk
attitude as insensitive? Also, is it unusual?

The double standard of human behavior regarding the Jews must
be manitained.
A perfect example is the outcry over the temporary removal of
400 men who advocated murdering Jews and destroying the State
of Israel, compared to the deafening silence over the abusive
treatment of Jews in Arab countries during the past 50 years.
Compare the tacit appoval that the world gives to Muslims who
randomly murder Jewish civilians to the righteous indignation
expressed if people in the occupied territories are kept from
working in Israel in an effort to reduce these random murders
from occuring, while everyone knows that no country is at all
required to accept foreign workers, except Israel, of course.
Jewish blood has always been cheap. The non-Jewish world ha
never regarded any form of Jewish suffering important, except
when the Jews were the models of the powerless victim holding
the high moral ground, as it had been just after World War 2.
However, as soon as the Jewish people started to take care of
themselves, the ancient hatred of Jews was unleashed again.
I doubt if the non-Jewish world is even capable of having any
compassion towards Jews as anti-semitism is so ancient and so
basic to both Christianity and Islam.
Golda Meir said that there would be peace when the Arabs love
their own children more than they hate the Jews. And while I
know that there are more Arab parents who love their children
than those who would send their children out into the streets
to throw rocks at men trained to defend themselves with guns,
the world is so obsessed by a hatred of Jews trying to defend
themselves that they have yet to even question the actions of
those parents who not simply allow their children to do this,
but encourage them to throw themselves into harm's way. Even
Arab children are expendable, if their tragic deaths are used
in the neverending propoganda battle to blame Israel, and the
Jews, for any misfortune befalling Arabs in the middle east.

Hello all,
There is a small problem a friend of mine is experiencing and I
would appreciate any help at all with it.
My friend has been diagnosed as having a severe case of depression requiring
antidepressants for a cure. The main problem is the side effects of these.
So far she has been prescribed Prozac, Aurorix, and tryptanol all with
different but unbearable side effects.
The Prozac gave very bad anxiety/jitters and insomina, it was impossible to
sit still for more than a minute or so.
The Aurorix whilst having a calming effect, all feelings were lost and the
body co-ordination was similar to a drunken person. Her brain was clouded
over.
The tryptanol gave tremors in the legs and panic attacks along with unco-
ordination occurred. She did not know what she was doing as her brain was
"closed down".
Has anyone had similar problems and/or have any suggestions as to the next
step?
Thankyou in advance.

Hi all.
I've been installing a new hard drive recently and have run into several
terms that I'm not sure about.
1.) Hard Sectored/Soft Sectored -- What's the difference? How do I know
which to use?
2.) Head Skew & Cylinder Skew -- I understand that these are related to
performance... How do I know what's optimal?
My drive is an ESDI drive, if that makes a difference in discussing
these terms.
Any info/help is greatly appreciated!

Re: Methods for attaching heat sink to processor.
Go to Radio Shack and buy a tube of heat sink compound. It comes
in a little blue and white tube with a black screw on cap. At
Radio Shack, it's catalog number 276-1372. It's a mix of
silicone and zinc oxide, and conducts heat very well. Plus, it's
tacky.

I would argue Gerald, that Bowman is the first "modern" coach.
Bowman's Canadiens were the first NHL team to have a weight-room
in the 70s. He is the first coach I have seen, that manipulates
the press into spreading false game plan rumours. (During important games
listen to the pre-game interview will Bowman and compare that to
what is on the ice!) I agree Bowman is a master of the lineups.
Remember last year in the SC when he benched Jagr only to set him free
in OT. When Jagr banged in the winning goal I thought this was
trademark Bowman and also a sign of a modern coach!
I am left asking "What is a modern coach if not Bowman?"

That would be the Opel GT, sold in this country from '69 to '73. It originally
had a 1100 cc engine, which was later replaced by the 1900 cc. It was based
on the old Kadett drive train and suspension, with leaf springs in the rear
and a single transverse leaf spring in the front. It looked good, but was
limited as a performer.
There has also been some discussion in this thread about the Manta and other
models. In 1971 Opel introduced a new line of models, the 1900 series, that
were also known as model numbers 51, 57, etc. These cars had the newer
1900cc engine and were available as two and four-door coupes, a station wagon,
and a "sport coupe", known in Europe as the Manta. At the same time, there
were two 30-series cars, which sold very few numbers, that also had the 1900
engine but the Kadett suspension. The sport coupe, (model 57) was also
available as the Rallye, (57R), with a blacked out hood, tach, and fog lights,
but was mechanically the same except for a numerically higher rear end ratio.
In 1973 the sport coupe was also named the Manta in the US. 1973 was the last
year for the GT in any country, both because of the US bumper height regulations
and the fact that FIAT exercised an option on the factory that Opel was leasing
to build the GTs.
The 1900 series continued in 1974 with minor body differences. In 1975, the
Manta, 1900 sedan (also called the Ascona) and the wagon were available with
Bosch electronic fuel injection. These cars also had larger brakes and
wider wheels. These cars were starting to compete with the 1975 Buick Century
low price leader of the time, and were the last Opels imported into the US.
From 1976 to 1979, cars that sported Buick/Opel badges were still sold by
the Buick dealers, but were rebadged Isuzu I-marks. The idea was to call them
Opels instead of changing the dealers' neon signs.
Various models of the 50-series cars dominated the Showroom Stock racing of the
70's in their class, and were known as serious 2002-competition.
Parts are still available from a number of sources.
(I still have a '73 manta and two '75 sedans and all the trick parts I could
collect in 20 years).

It's basement cleaning time. This stuff has got to go.
I have two boxes of 9 track 2400' tapes, around 20 tapes/box. They are
free to anyone who wants to come by and pick them up. They've seen
very little use. If anyone wants these bad enough to ship, they're yours
for the cost of shipping, the cod charge and a $10 nusiance fee.
I have a lot of serial cables. I have all kinds, ribbon, shielded, long,
short M-M, M-F whatever you want. Most appear to work well with PC serial
ports, but I will not gaurantee that. Tell me what you want and I'll do
the best I can to match. 1.50 ea or 10/$10. Shipping included. No CODs
under $20. (You want to pay a $5 COD charge for a $1.50 cable? Go buy
the cable at your local computer store instead, it'll be cheaper.) I believe
these cables were removed from service at a computer center. They appear
to be in good condition and the ones I have used have worked well.
I also have a 15 KVA Exide UPS with batteries that needs minor repair, probably
a logic board. It weighs about 280 pounds and is 36 inches high. I think
they used to run a Prime system off of it. Best offer over $75, but you
need to come pick it up. Use this to run your house from your solar panels.
I will consider reasonable offers on any of this stuff.

the owners are whining about baseball not being popular among a
large enough portion of the population, and have suggested various
"remedies", such as shortening the game or trying to convince us that
"smoke'embake'emdominatebysheerintimidation" is an accurate description
of what is, essentially, a laid-back game.
forget those lame ideas. here is my new and exciting two-point plan to
generate interest in baseball among the masses.
point one: sex.
point two: violence.
let's face it, sex and violence are the only things that sell in
america. here's how we can implement them in the game:
sex: cheerleaders, cheerleaders, and more cheerleaders. dancing on top
of the dugouts. bringing hot dogs to the umps during the seventh
inning stretch. running up and down the stands. (the south bend
white sox actually do this).
violence: baseball players are such utter wuss boys. the pitcher beans
the batter, and both benches empty in what is called a "bench-clearing
brawl". EVERYBODY JUST STANDS THERE AND LOOKS AT EACH OTHER. stand,
stand, stand. look, look, look. ho, hum. then, the bullpens
come running in. when they reach the "fight", they just stand
there, too.
anybody coming off the bench who does not throw at least one punch
should be suspended and fined. further, the bullpens should fight
it out in the outfield, so as not to waste time and energy running
to the infield.
football: sex, violence.
basketball: sex, violence.
hockey: violence.
baseball: "da pastime of da nayshun!" - yawn.

I know this is the wrong place to post this, but I couldn't find any
relevant newsgroups in my area.
For those of you who are from PA, where is VASCAR (where the cops
measure your speed from the time it takes you to cross the distance
between two white lines on the road, right?) most commonly used? I'm
especially interested in the Pittsburgh area (specific locations, prior
experiences, if possible). For those PA and non-PA, if they use VASCAR
in your state, is it most common in rural, city, highway areas, etc.
What I'm interested in mainly is where I can speed with the least risk
of being caught. You can always detect radar, but there's no way to
fight VASCAR unless you know where all the white lines are.
Thanks a lot,

The French SPOT is an example that comes to mind. Although the
company (name escapes me at the moment) sells images world-wide, you
can bet your last dollar (franc??) that the French gov't gets first
dibs.
I remember a few years ago (about the time SPOT was launched), I
was speaking to my Dad (an USAF officer) about this and that, and I
happend to mention SPOT (I think we were talking about technology
utilization). He just about went ballistic. He wanted to know how I
knew about SPOT and just what I knew. I guess that space surveillance
is such a sensitive topic in the Air Force that he couldn't believe
that I would read about such a system in the popular press (ie. AV week).

Hey,guess what's coming to ESPN for a change? A playoff which doesn't
involve the Pens. Not that there is anything wrong with that...
ESPN games :
Thursday Game3 Pens at Devils at 7:30(Gary Thorne and Bill Clement)
Saturday Game4 Caps at NY Isles at 7:30(Tom Mees and John Davidson)
ABC game :
Sunday Game4 Pens at Devils at 1:00 (Gary Thorne and Bill Clement)
ESPN named its #2 broadcast team on Tuesday. It paired Tom Mees(play by
play) with John Davidson(analyst).

To all the Braves doubters:
Don't worry. The bats will come alive, and the Braves will come around.
The pitching is solid, and as long the Braves don't have serious injuries
to the starting rotation, they'll continue to pitch well. Heck, with
the five starters on the Braves rotation, they could even sustain an
injury to one of the five (I hope this doesn't happen, though).
The bats are there... Pendleton will certainly bat over .280, Justice
is catching fire, Bream, Nixon, Sanders, Gant... well, there's too
much offense there to be kept quiet for much longer. Right now, the
Cleveland Indians have 7 players batting over .300! But I certainly
wouldn't their seven for our respective seven (though wouldn't the
Braves be something right now with their pitching and 7 players batting
over .300?).
The bullpen... well, it IS suspect. But when the bats come alive, the
guys in the bullpen will be of less concern.
So anyway, I believe the Braves will be tough to beat this season. I'm
not saying the Braves have automatically won the division, but I'm optim-
istic about their season (though it's awful painful to watch them at
times right now).
Go Braves!!!

Hello,
I want a little network for 3 users. All users want to run Windows.
The most important things I want for the network are: file-sharing,
mail utility, two printers on one of the computers and a fax/modem
card on one of the computers. We all want to use each others harddisk.
My idea was to buy three computers (one 486DX and two 386DX). All
three have a 40Mb local harddisk, the 486 also has a very large
harddisk. All three also have a network card. The 486 is connected to
the printers and contains the fax/modem card. And last but not least:
Workgroups for Windows.
My questions:
- Is this possible?
- What exactly are the possibilities and advantages of Workgroups
for Windows?
- Will all the computers be fast enough? Behind all three, someone
is working.

as the crow flies), this is 900km a day for 5 days. If you spend the
entire time on interstates, which would be a total waste of time, that's
at least 8 hours on the road every day not including eating/peeing/
sight-seeing etc.
I was contemplating a similar trip, but from Ottawa to LA, or
maybe Ottawa to Austin Tx.
I figured if I wanna do a trip of this magnitude and enjoy it, I'd
have to get my ass off the major Interstates and spend LOTS of
time enjoying the country around me; i.e. stopping with a camera,
meeting towns-people, going to a few bars. No sense spending 2 weeks
looking out a helmet with the closest human contact found at the gas
pump.
I estimated I'd need at least 4-5 weeks to make the trip worthwhile.
In question 8:)
Try and stay off the interstates!!!
Depending on your route and my plans, I may be heading that way as far
as at least Detroit.
Call the Whithorse Pess. They're a book distributer catering to
Motorcyclists. They have a large number of books highlighting
the best roads FOR MOTORCYCLISTS along the general route
you're looking at. They carry listings of bed and breakfasts
all through the States which accept motorcyclists. Order their free
catalog and within you'll probably find books covering absolutely
all you needs for this trip. Their #'s in the Motorcyclist and/or
Cycle World classifieds.

Ken:
Your arguments are thoughtful but you are going up against the Big
Boys if you're tackling Henry. Allen Sherzer will doubtless chime in
on the subject of staggering operational costs, too. Good luck, son.
Ahem. The Russians are in the Free World now, or at least it would be
Politically Correct to contend so.
It will be tough to make DC-X succeed, and to turn it into an
operational orbital vehicle. Doubtless it will fail to meet some of
the promised goals. The reason people are so fond of it is that it's
the *only* chance we have now, or will have for a *long* time to come,
to develop a launch vehicle with radically lower costs.
There is no Shuttle successor in funded development, NASP is dwindling
away, and ALS/NLS/Spacelifter sure as hell aren't gonna knock any
zeroes off that $2000-$3000 per pound cost. Part of the blame for
this must be placed on a Shuttle program that consumes many annual
billions of the, er, Free World's available space cash. As you will
no doubt hear from many correspondents in the days to come. (-:
DC-X is an attempt to break out of the vicious cycle by keeping
development costs low and flying incremental "X-plane" hardware.
It's been, to my mind, incredibly successful already-- they've built a
complex prototype in under 600 days for under 60 megabucks. I would
have been extremely skeptical that this could be accomplished in 1990s
America, never mind flying the thing, getting a successor funded, or
building the DC-Y.
I'm sure you know well that launch costs are THE basic problem for any
expansion of astronautics. I don't see a realistic prospect for
beating down those costs, for multi-ton payloads, anywhere else. If
the DC flops, it'll be business as usual in space. The Nineties and
the Double-Oughts will look just like the Seventies and Eighties, a
prospect too depressing to bear.
(Pegasus represents another assault on the problem from a different
direction. It doesn't lower cost-per-pound but it offers an orbital
launch for under ten megabucks. It's creating its own market for
small payloads.)
I read the magazines and I've attended the last two IAFs. There are
plenty of engineers with paper ideas for cheaper launch systems, some
of them as good as or better than SSTO. There is no sign in today's
world that any of these designs will be allowed anywhere near an
assembly line.
[...deleting some things I'm not going to prove tonight...]
Strawman. Is anybody seriously proposing this? References, please.
The DC must be developed in the real-world funding climate, which
includes a NASA ferociously committed to continuing Shuttle
operations, as well as the "bird in the hand" argument your common
sense tells you. If DC-Y flies at all, it flies alongside the
Shuttle, not instead of it.
Also, of course, DC-Y and its operational descendants will be useful
for a wide variety of jobs even if they are *not* man-rated.
If a DC-X successor can fly a 10,000-kg payload for $1M, or even $5M,
rather than the $40M it now costs, more people will be able to afford
more payloads... for the same money, you can fly several satellites
instead of one. Big outfits can fly multi-satellite series. Little
outfits will be able to fly spacecraft of their own, instead of
begging a ride. This is just supply and demand. You should be able
to convince *yourself* that point 4 will be true, assuming DC makes a
big difference in costs. Do you have some reason to think not?

OK Steve, here's a sketch of an alternative that I believe addresses
most of the objections to the Clipper scheme.
Notation:
+ concatenation
^ exclusive or
E(M,K) message M encrypted by key K
D(M,K) message M decrypted by key K
H(M) hash (digest/signature) of message M
Important Values:
U0[X] local chip unit key from escrow agency X
U1[X] remote chip unit key from escrow agency X
N[0] serial number of the local chip
N[1] serial number of the remote chip
A number of escrow agencies
K[0],K[1] "session keys" agreed upon external to this protocol
F "family key", need not be secret
Protocol:
Choose K0[1],...K0[A] such that K[0] = K0[1]^...^K0[A]
Remote chip does same for K[1],K1[1],...,K1[A].
Compute the following:
L0[1] = E(K0[1], U0[1])
...
L0[A] = E(K0[A], U0[A])
L[0] = N[0] + E(N[0] + L0[1] + ... + L0[A], F)
Remote chip does the same for L1[1],...,L1[A],L[1]
Send L[0] to remote chip and receive L[1] from remote chip
Compute:
KE[0] = H(K[0] + N[0] + L0[1] + ... + L0[A]
+ K[1] + D(L[1], F)
KD[0] = H(K[1] + D(L[1], F)
+ K[0] + N[0] + L0[1] + ... + L0[A]
Note that D(L[1], F) = N[1] + L1[1] + ... + L1[A]
Remote chip does the same for KE[1] and KD[1]
User data is encrypted (decrypted) with keys KE[0], KE[1]
(KD[0], KD[1])
Assumptions:
No trap doors in E(), D() and H(). H() is not invertible.
Algorithms for E(), D() and H() are secret. Otherwise a software
implementation (bogus chip) could communicate with a real chip.
The chip only supports the following operation:
1) Return N[0]
2) Load K0[x]
3) Return E(K0[x], U0[x])
4) Return E(N[0] + L0[1] + ... + L0[A], F)
5) Given E(N[1] + L1[1] + ... + L1[A], F),
return N[1],L1[1],...,L1[A]
6) Load K[1]
7) Given E(N[1] + L1[1] + ... + L1[A], F),
compute KE[0], KD[0]
8) Given M, return E(M, KE[0])
9) Given M, return D(M, KD[0])
Anything programmed into the chip can be determined by destroying
the chip (U[1],...,U[A],F,N[0]).
U[1],...,U[A] can not be determined except by destroying the chip.
(Unfortunately this may not be true in reality. I suppose it's
possible to determine how a chip has been programmed with a
sophisticated[sp?] x-ray machine to look for blown fuses.)
The U's are programmed independantly by the escrow agencies.
Notes:
For tapping escrow agency Y is given N[0], E(K0[Y], U0[Y]), N[1],
E(K1[Y], U1[Y]) and returns K0[Y], K1[Y].
LEA's must contact all escrow agencies with the serial numbers from
both chips and the encrypted partial keys. This allows the agencies
to record that both chips were tapped.
LEA's only get the session key, not the key to all conversations
of a particular chip. This precludes real-time decrypting of a
conversation but that isn't one of the STATED requirements.
Observation:
In order for any secure by "tap-able" communication scheme to work,
the active parts need to share a secret. And if this secret is
revealed, communications by those that know the secret can be made
"un-tap-able". Obvious candidates are the cryptographic algorithm
and the master (family) key. Relative size and complexity suggests
that the key can be obtained from a silicon implementation of the
scheme a LOT easier and faster than the algorithm.

No. It is very relevant. Homosexual acts and acts of beastiality are
topically aranged together in the law. This is very important.
Anyone who would want to say that this command against homosexuality
deals with temple prostitution (and I think you would agree that there
is no proof for this.) If the Law reveals the character of God, and
is "holy, just, and good" as is written in the New Testament, then
those who consider we who are against commiting homosexuals acts
to be biggots have to address this passage of Scripture.
Why must we only discuss Scriptures that involve consensual human
adult relationships? Isn't that bordering on sophistry? The point
we are making is that God did not ordain certain kinds of sex acts.
Not everyone who brings up these Scriptures is just trying to use and emotional
argument that compares homosexuals to beastophiles and child molestors.
The issue we are dealing with is that some sex acts are ungodly.
I do not have problem with a loving, nonlustful relationship with a member
of the same sex. I have them, and we all do. The issue at hand is
the sinfulness having sex with members of the same sex, or lusting after.
So other forbidden sex acts are a valid topic for conversation.
And the idea that these relationships may be emotional relationships
between adult humans is red herring. We all agree that it is okay
for adults to have caring relationships with one another.

Hi! I've just installed the new XArchie 2.0.1 and it all works
fine, except:
on our grayscale xterm the custom icons compiled into the
program don't work at all, but on the BW terminal it works fine.
I can set the icon to an xbm file with .twmrc, but that doesn't
give the neat-o change when busy action. (Other programs with
similar actions, e.g. xmail, xbiff, work fine.)
The X-interface author, George Ferguson, suggests it might be a
problem with the X intrinsics, but isn't willing to hack around
to fix it himself. But I know zero about X programming, so I
don't think I can find it.
Does anyone out there know an obvious fix for the problem?

Back in January and February there were several articles (Wash Post, Time...)
saying that NASA was "considering" the option just as it is now "considering"
a followup mission 6-12 months after the servicing mission. However, the
down time was estimated to be a year+ (servicing, checkout, sceheduling
and training another shuttle, orbit verification...) and to be quite
expensive. I think it may have been more a mental exercise than a
real plan. Don't know.

Well, I don't normally like to quote myself, but I just got some
additional information. I called my state rep (to express my support),
and the person there informed me that it's actually just a second

I'm not 100% sure what *that* means, and I'm also not sure why
there's a discrepancy between what the two offices are telling me.

Mr. Oguocha,
"Muslims" in the Bosnian context are in fact "Turks"... In fact, correct
me if I am wrong, Serbs are attacking Bosnians with their battle cries
"Death to the Turks!".
Is this so shocking? Years of communism apparently suppressed their
hatred and anger towards the Turks. But such hatred is obviously one that
dies hard.
Serbs must understand, Turks are no longer the good old barbarians world
has come to know by propaganda after propaganda.
Serbs must further understand that barbarism does not work.
Serbs must even further understand that barbarism would one day have
to face counter-barbarism. So, I urge those people [Serbs] to stop
killing Bosnian women and children. And they must never forget that
Turks in the motherland are watching...patiently.
Cordially,

A dealer will make money off you in three ways, if you let him:
1) New car markup over his cost (remember his hold-back),
2) Arranging financing through the dealership, and
3) Screwing you on the trade.
Keep the deal with the dealer simple by eliminating 2 & 3. Buying a car at
"dealer's cost" is meaningless if he makes $1000 on the trade and/or gets a
kickback from the bank.
Blue book (you need to know if you're talking average wholesale or average
retail) is a good guide to value for a car. If you are selling it yourself,
try to get average retail, and chances are you'll have done ok.
Be careful selling to acquaintances if you ever want them to become friends.

I'm a fellow applicant and my situation is not too much better. I applied
to about 20 schools, got two interviews, got one offer, and am waiting to
hear from the other school.
Let me be honest about my experiences and impressions about the medical
school admissions process. Numbers (GPA, MCATs) are not everything,
but they are probably more important than anything else. In fact, some
schools screen out applicants based on these numbers and never even look
at your other qualities. Of course, when this happens, don't expect a refund
on your $50 application fee.
But, the fact that you got four interviews tells me that you have the numbers
and are very well qualified academically. You mentioned one response, was it
an acceptance, denial, or wait-list? If I assume the worst, that it was a
denial, then you still have a great probability of acceptance somewhere. How
did your interviews go?
As for how long you have to wait, I've called a few schools who never contacted
me for anything. Many of them told me that the interview season for them was
over and that if I haven't heard by now, I can assume a denial. Many rejection
letters are not sent out until May or as late as June. But some schools are
still interviewing. I really don't think you should worry. Don't become
fixated on the mailbox, go out, have fun, be very proud of yourself.
What do people think of the medical school admissions process? I had a very
mediocre GPA, but high MCAT scores, and I have been working as a software
engineer for two years. I majored in Computer Science at Stanford. Still,
I think the profile of the person who has the best chance of getting admitted
is something like this:
VERY IMPORTANT
--------------
GPA: 3.5 or better
MCAT: top 15% in all subject
MEDIUM IMPORTANCE
-----------------
Writing/Speaking ability
Maturity
Motivation for going into medicine
Activities
LESS IMPORTANT
--------------
College or University
Major
Work experience
Anything else you want them to know
Anyway, you are in good shape. I think admissions committees are bound in
many ways by the numbers, but would like very much to understand each
person as an individual. Sometimes thats just not practical. But getting
four interviews is an indicator that you have the numbers. Hopefully, you
were able to impress them with your character.

Wrong, the CD300 (external) is just a plain ol' SCSI device.
No, multisession capability and double speed are two different thing. Its just
that the newer CD ROM drives have both capability. Multisession means that
when you put more pictures on a photo CD after the first session, the drive can
read and display them. Double speeds just transfer ANY type of data (excluding
sound) at around double the speed.
CD150 is not multisession capable. This means that you lose the ability to add
any more pictures after the first time (must buy a new CD). Finally, since the
CD150 is not a double speed drive, it will require twice as long to transfer
data (excluding sound).

It seems silly, but while I've located things like tgif that can edit
gif files, and various tools to convert to/from gif format, I haven't
been able to locate a program that just opens a window and displays a
gif file in it. I've looked thru various faq files, also to no avail.
Is there one lurking about in some archive? Nothing sophisticated;
just "show the pretty picture"?
Alternatively, if I could locate the specs for gif, I don't suppose it
would be too hard to write it myself, but I have no idea where to even
start looking for the spec. (Well, actually, I do have an idea - this

If what was being discussed could be established or disproven by
experiment and observation, then I would agree with you, Chris.
The burden of proof would belong to Bill. But the source
document for Christianity, the Bible, simply assumes God exists
and makes it clear (to us Calvinists, anyway :-)) that when a person
is in fellowship with God, it is because God has taken the initiative
in revealing Himself to that person. So from a Christian point of
view, the burden of proof belongs to God. Bill is being consistent
with what the Bible teaches in relating his own experience with God,
but it would be an error on his part to assume that there is a direct,
causal relationship between his testimony and someone else becoming
convinced that God exists and that he needs to be reconciled to God.
Please excuse me if I missed an earlier part of this thread
in which Bill came across like an egotist. What I saw was simply
obedience to the scriptural command to "always be ready
to give a reason for the joy that is in you".

God never changes. He still loves us. Sending Jesus was one of His
attempts to reconcile with mankind. The nature of God has not changed.
Sinning in the face of God was punishable by immediate death. There are
several OT passages to back this up. God is God. He cannot tolerate
the prescence of sin in His midst. And the Israelites knew this! And
still, some of them chose to disobey and were destroyed. Were these
people KIND and LOVing themselves? God gave them every break He could
but in the end, He really had no choice in the matter. Seeing as how
we were failing to achieve salvation on our own, He sent His Son to die
for us - to be the ultimate sin offering. Now we live in the age of
grace.
He sent His Son as a consolation to us, out of love.
Hey, let's be fair for a moment here. KIND and LOVING does not mean
a free ride. There is an amount of give and take as in any relationship.
Parents are supposed to be kind and loving but does that mean that
children can do whatever they want? NOT! Part of being a parent means
administering punishment when the child is at fault. Part of being a
parent means giving instruction. God tests us through the trial of
life such that we may grow stronger. He teaches what is right and
what is wrong. The consequences of our actions are made clear to us,
be it Heaven or be it Hell. If God did not follow through with what
He has warned us about, He would not be a very good parent.
In parenting, if a parent issues a warning but does not follow through
with it, the children will not take that parent's words very seriously.
God does the same by telling us who have ears to hear what to do and
what not to do. By life's trials, we see the folly of doing our own
will rather than His. He warns us about the consequences of rejecting
Him when it comes time for Judgement. Do we follow Him?
I will.
Peace be with you,
Malcolm Lee :)

But after you have taken antihistamines for a few nights, doesn't it start

figured out it was the antihistamines. I would fall asleep for a few

I guess I'm delving into a religious language area. What exactly is morality
or morals? I never thought of eating meat to be moral or immoral, but I think
it could be. How do we differentiate between not doing something because it is
a personal choice or preference and not doing something because we see it as
immoral? Do we fall to what the basis of these morals are?
Also, consensus positions fall to a might makes right. Or, as you brought out,
if whatever is right is what is societally mandated then whoever is in control
at the time makes what is right

install to hard drive from second set of floppies.
put originals in a box in room number one.
put copies in box in room number two.
1) Accidents DO happen to original floppies.
2) Accidents CAN happen to the installation floppy.
3) Sometimes software goes out on floppies that are JUST marginally good. Or
gets too close to a magnet in shipping or storage.
I've had experience with SOMETHING like the last. I purchased a compiler from
a reputable vendor. THe debugger in the package just would NOT install to the
hard drive. NO WAY. Repeated floppy-to-floppy copies FINALLY got a clean read
of the disk. I DON'T recall if I used "diskcopy", "copy/b", or "xcopy".
I made a second copy of the marginal floppy and installed from that. No problenms ( except with my typing :-) ) since.
I regard backup floppies as CHEAP insurance.
Just my side of the question...

Does anyone know of research done on the use of haldol in the elderly? Does
short-term use of the drug ever produce long-term side-effects after
the use of the drug? My grandmother recently had to be hospitalized
and was given large doses of haldol for several weeks. Although the
drug has been terminated, she has changed from a perky, slightly
senile woman into a virtual vegetable who does not talk to anyone
and who cannot even eat or brush her teeth without assistance. It
seems incredible to me that such changes could take place in the
course of just one and one-half months. I have to believe that the
combination of the hospital stay and some drug(s) are in part
catalysts for this. Any comments?

Well, almost. It turns out that clever orbital mechanics can
engineer things so that resonant interactions with the higher order
harmonics of the Earth's gravitational field can pump energy into a
satellite, and keep it from experiencing drag effects for periods of
months to years.
My favorite example of this is the Soviet/Russian heavy ELINT
satellites of the Cosmos 1603 class, which are in 14:1 resonance. In
particular, C1833 has undergone two periods of prolonged *gain* in
altitude, the current one having started in June 1991; the mean altitude
of the satellite is now as high as it has ever been since launch on 18
March 1987. (Looking at the elements for C1833 also shows the
limitations of NORAD's software -- but that's another story.)
This probably has little relevance to space stations, since the 71
degree orbits of the C1603 satellites are at 850 km, which is
unacceptably far into the inner van Allen belt for manned platforms. But
it's kind of interesting from the point of view of the physics of the
situation.
(Orbital elements for these satellites are available on request.)

Before more bandwidth gets wasted on this:
I APOLOGIZE for my flame.
First, because I distributed the message to so many newsgroups; I did
not check the crosspostings of the article I followed up on.
Second, for not making my argument clear enough. I reacted to the tone
of many of the anti-Kirlian posts, not to their content. Right
or wrong, I found the arguments set in arrogant and sneering words
(that includes "jokes"), which I still think is unwarranted.
And, obviously, I should not have done the same.

On Sunday 9 May 1993, Kenneth Engel writes (in substance):
We are told that the penalty for sin is an eternity in Hell.
We are told that Jesus paid the penalty, suffering in our stead.
But Jesus did not spend an eternity in Hell.
This objection presupposes the "forensic substitution" theory of the
Atonement. Not everyone who believes in the Atonement understands it
in those terms. For an expansion of this statement, send the
messages

GET GEN05 RUFF
GET GEN06 RUFF
GET GEN07 RUFF
to LISTSERV@ASUACAD.BITNET or to LISTSERV@ASUVM.INRE.ASU.EDU
Note that the character after the "GEN" is a zero. If you want to
read my opun from the beginning, start with GEN01.

I've heard *unconfirmed* rumours that there is a new Integra being released
for '94.
Does anybody have any info on this?

Tsiel,
I would contend that there was shelling from both sides of the border,
starting from the early 70's. Certainly the PLO did shell Northern
Israel from the Arqoub region, but Israel did much more shelling
destroying several South Lebanese villages. At the very least
we can say that both sides exchanged shelling, with occasional
aerial raids by Israel on Lebanese villages.
In any case Steve's characterization that the 1982 invasion was only in
response to years of shelling from Lebanon is false. Israel had
many reasons for invading but mainly it did so to install a government
in Lebanon favorable to Israel, and it nearly achieved this aim
with the election of Basheer El Gemayel, and his brother, Amin
El Gemayel, but the internal situation in Lebanon was too hard
to control and predict so Israel had to withdraw, and Amin El Gemayel
had to abrogate the 17 th of May Agreement.

*** On 04-19-93 04:09, John Bongiovanni had the unmitigated gall to say this:
>>Suddenly, the date no longer rolls over. The time is (reasonably) accurate
>>allways, but we have to change the date by hand every morning. This involves
>>exiting the menu system to get to DOS.
JB> Did I once hear that in order for the date to advance, something, like
JB> a clock, *has* to make a Get Date system call? Apparently, the clock
JB> hardware interrupt and BIOS don't do this (date advance)
JB> automatically. The Get Date call notices that a "midnight reset" flag
JB> has been set, and then then advances the date.
When a program uses a DOS call to get the system, it resets the flag that
tells the BIOS that it has passed midnight. It then uses this flag to
increment the date. If the menu does a call to the system to get the time
before midnight, before the BIOS sees the midnight flag, then BIOS will not
know that the day passed and the date will not get updated.
I might have some DOS's and BIOS's mixed up (darned cold messed up my
brains) but this has been a well documented problem for years. I don't know
of a workaround. Hope this helps!

In the past few years I have owned 3 Mustang GTs and now own a 91 T-Bird SC.
They all have had this problem. There was a recall on the T-bird for the brake
problem. The Ford dealer replaced the rotors and pads but the rotors warp
after about 10K miles. Between this problem and the fit and finish problems on
the T-Bird I'll never buy a Ford again.

I've seen people in their forties and fifties become disoriented and
demented during hospital stays. In the examples I've seen, drugs were
definitely involved.
My own father turned into a vegetable for a short time while in the
hospital. He was fifty-three at the time, and he was on 21 separate
medications. The family protested, but the doctors were adamant, telling
us that none of the drugs interact. They even took the attitude that, if
he was disoriented, they should put him on something else as well! With
the help of an MD friend of the family, we had all his medication
discontinued. He had a seizure that night, and was put back on one drug.
Two days later, he was his old self again. I guess there aren't many
medical texts that address the subject of 21-way interactions.
I don't mean this as a cheap shot at the medical profession. It is an
aspect of hospitals that is very frightening to me. Docs seem to believe
that, because they have close control of you, it's quite all right to
take your bodily equilibria into their own hands. That control reduces
the chance that the patient will make a mistake, but health care
providers can make mistakes too, and mistakes can be deadly under those
circumstances.
I grant you that sometimes there's no choice. Nevertheless, I suggest
you procure a list of the drugs your grandmother is getting, and discuss
it with an independent doc. Her problems may not be the effect of HALDOL
at all. HALDOL may have been used validly, or it may have been
prescribed because OTHER medication confused her, and because the
hospital normally prescribes HALDOL for the confused elderly.
Just my opinion,

What are HyperHelp and Xprinter? Read on......
---------------------------------------------------------
Bristol Technology is proud to announce version 3.0 of
its popular HyperHelp product and version 2.0 of Xprinter.
HyperHelp 3.0
-------------
HyperHelp is the de-facto standard for on-line context
sensitive help in the Unix marketplace. Through a one
line function call, application developers can access the
full features of HyperHelp and cut down drastically on
their development time. HyperHelp can use the same RTF,
project, and bitmap files as the MS Windows Help facility.
This allows a documentation department to maintain a single
set of help documents portable between MS Windows, Motif and
Open Look. HyperHelp can also be authored in FrameMaker.
And with HyperHelp 3.0 Bristol introduces its SGML compiler!
New features in HyperHelp 3.0 include secondary windows,a character
based viewer, segmented bitmaps, SGML support, and an improved History
window.
Xprinter 2.0
------------
Xprinter 2.0 allows developers to add sophisticated
printer support to their existing/new X based applications
very easily. Xprinter uses the Xlib API for both the
display and printer. This lets you use the exact same code
for drawing and printing. Take a look at the source code for
our demo and see Xprinter in action.
If you are interested in adding PostScript and PCL5 support
to your application, Xprinter is the tool for you! Earlier
this year Bristola dn USL signed an agreement that
resulted in Xprinter becoming the standard printing technology
for UNIX SVR4.2.
Feel free to run the demo and let us know what you think about
HyperHelp and Xprinter.
If you have any questions or comments, send them to us at:
info@bristol.com or call us at (203) 438-6969.
Happy demoing,
