Actually, I've been following her remarks for some time, with
interest. I'm also a member of academia, and her remarks have nothing
but elevate her respectability in my eyes. It remains to be seen whether

It is generally an error to assume that your beliefs are held by

That shows how much you know about anything. The brakes on the

Your argument still boils down to "An SHO shouldn't be driven

If you need speed, and your client can run on the same host as the X server,
you should use the shared memory extension to the sample X server (MIT-SHM).
xdpyinfo will tell you if your server has this extension. This is certainly
available with the sample MIT X server running under SunOS.
A word of warning: make sure your kernel is configured to support shared
memory. And another word of warning: OpenWindows is slower than the MIT
server.
I have written an imaging tool (using XView for the GUI, by the way) which
yields over 10 frames per second for 512*512*8 bit images, running on a Sparc
IPC (half the cpu grunt of an IPX). This has proved quite sufficient for
animations.

Subject: Creating 8 bit windows on 24 bit display.. How?
Organization: FWI, University of Amsterdam
Lines: 75
Nntp-Posting-Host: carol.fwi.uva.nl
Greetings,
I am using an X server that provides 3 visuals:
PseudoColor 8 bit, Truecolor 24 bit and DirectColor 24 bit.
A problem occurs when I try to create a window with a visual that is different
from the visual of the parent (which uses the default visual which is TC24).
In the Xlib reference guide from 'O reilly one can read in the
section about XCteateWindow, something like:
"In the current implementation of X11: When using a visual other than the
parent's, be sure to create or find a suitable colourmap which is to be used
in the window attributes when creating, or else a BadMatch occurs."
This warning, strangely enough, is only mentioned in the newer editions
of the X11R5 guides.
However, even if I pass along a suitable colourmap, I still get a BadMatch
when I create a window with a non-default visual.
The code looks like this:
------------------ cut here and you'll destroy your CRT ----------------
Window create_8bit_window_on_truecolour_display(dpy,width,height)
Display *dpy;
int width, height;
{
Window win;
XVisualInfo vinfo;
XSetWindowAttributes attr;
fprintf(stderr,"Opening 8 bit window...\n");
if (!XMatchVisualInfo(dpy,DefaultScreen(dpy),8,PseudoColor,&vinfo)) {
fprintf(stderr,"Your display can't handle 8 bit PseudoColor.\n");
exit(1);
}
fprintf(stderr,"Using visual: %x\n",vinfo.visual->visualid);
cmap = XCreateColormap(
dpy,
DefaultRootWindow(dpy),
vinfo.visual,
AllocNone
);
XSync(dpy,False);
XInstallColormap(dpy,cmap); /* ommision of this line gives same result */
attr.colormap = cmap;
win = XCreateWindow(
dpy,
DefaultRootWindow(dpy),
10,10,
width,height,
CopyFromParent, /* border width */
8, /* depth */
InputOutput, /* class */
vinfo.visual, /* visual */
CWColormap,
&attr
);
return win;
}
--- cut here and you'll destroy your CRT -----
Executing this piece of code results in a BadMatch error.
Anybody who knows why?
If so, please drop me a line.
Take care,

It certainly is provable. Around a million Americans every year defend
themselves with firearms. In many of these cases the defender doesn't even
have to fire a shot! The mere presence of a gun is oftentimes all the
deterrent that is needed.
I don't like violence anymore than anyone else does. But, taking away the
right of Americans to keep and bear arms is not the solution to the violent
crime problem in this country. If honest, law-abiding citizens are unable
to get firearms then they will be preyed on even more by criminals who will
be able to acquire guns through illegal channels. Expect to start seeing
the crime syndicates who smuggle drugs into this country start smuggling
guns. Believe me this will happen. There is *plenty* of economic
incentive for gangsters to illegaly import guns into this country if guns
should be banned by the Klintonistas.

People have the right to keep and bear arms no matter what the
Constitution says. That means that even if the 2nd Amendment is
repealed the *people* (that's all American citizens FYI) will *still*
have the right to keep and bear arms.

Programmatically, yes, we can land an Orbiter with a 5 cm hole in
the wall -- provided that the thing which caused 5 cm hole didn't
cause a Crit 1 failure on some of the internal systems. There are
a few places where a 5 cm hole would cause a Bad Day -- especially
if the 5 cm hole went all the way through the Orbiter and out the

/* ---------- "From Israeli press. TORTURE." ---------- */
FROM THE ISRAELI PRESS.
Newspaper: Ma'ariv Date: 18. December 1992 Author: Avi Raz
Subject: Torture
Title of article: Moderate physical pressure
Several times in the course of the long hours in the interrogation
room in Tulkarm prison, during which he says he was humiliated,
beaten and tortured, Omar Daoud Jaber heard his interrogator, a
Shabak agent 'Captain Louis', chatting on the phone with his wife.
"At those moments", Omar said, "I felt that he was like a
humanbeing, but right after he finished talking, he would be beat
me and say, 'You listened to the conversation and enjoyed
yourself' and I understood that he was not really a human being".
In late October 1992, after 38 days in detention at Tulkarm
prison, Omar Jaber was released without charges. "Among the Jews,
as among the Arabs, there are good people and bad people", he said
after his release, "but there, in Tulkarm, in the interrogations
rooms, you cannot find even one person about whom you can say that
he is a human being". Although he left the detention installation
in Tulkarm bruised and humiliated ("I sat at home for ten days. My
hands shook from nerves"), one may consider Omar Jaber lucky: He
got out, not so healthy, but entire, and even ultimately returned
to normal functioning, at the small solar heater plant he owns.
In contrast, Hassan Bader al-Zbeidi, for example, was released
seven weeks ago from detention in Tulkarm after 33 days in the
Shabak wing, cut off from his surroundings. He doesn't speak or
react. Mustafa Barakat, aged only 23, who was arrested in early
August and was brought to the Tulkarm detention installation, left
it one day later - dead. "We have recently received an especially
large number of testimonies concerning cruel tortures employed at
the Tulkarm detention installation by Shabak interrogators", noted
Dr. Niv Gordon, director of the Association of Israel and
Palestinian Physicians for Human Rights. (...)
The right to complain against the Shabak does not excite Anan
Saber Makhlouf, a 20 year old student. In fact, he was extremely
fearful about describing the manner in which he was interrogated
in Tulkarm prison, in case the publication in the paper would
return him to detention and lead to renewed mistreatment.
(...follow description of tortures....)
Omar, a tall bearded man, was silent. "I do not want to talk about
it", he finally said, quietly. Some time later, embarrased and
ashamed, he spoke: "Sometimes he beats you and beats you until
you'll kiss his hand, and not only his hand. Even the hands of
another interrogator, and another, whom he calls into the room,
and the last interrogator says:" Now you are kissing my hand, and
later if I want, you will kiss my ass."
These things take place in an Israeli army detention installation,
located within the military government compound in Tulkarm (West
Bank). But the Shabak interrogation wing is a separate kingdom. In
early March the IDF allowed representatives of B'Tselem, the
Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Territories, to
visit Tulkarm prison, but denied them access to the interrogation
wing. "The interrogation wing is Shabak property, being solely
under Shabak responsibility. All interrogations are performed by
it", said Lieutnant Sharon Sho'an, the commander of the
installation, according to the internal report written by B'tselem
member, Yuval Ginbar, following the visit. Major David Pe'er,
governing commander of the prison system in the Central Command,
was quoted in the report: "There is an ethical problem here - no
one can enter the interrogation wing".

Regarding "Jesus only" believers, our moderator writes:
[There may be some misunderstanding over terms here...]
I agree. Quite likely, actually.
[...I believe "Jesus
only" originally was in the context of baptism. These are folks who
believe that baptism should be done with a formula mentioning only
Jesus, rather than Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This may have
doctrinal implications, but as far as I know it does not mean that
these folks deny the existence or divinity of the Father. I'm not the
right one to describe this theology, and in fact I think there may be
several, including what would classically be called monophysite or
Arian (two rather different views), as well as some who have beliefs
that are probably consistent with Trinitarian standards, but who won't
use Trinitarian language because they misunderstand it or simply
because it is not Biblical. --clh]
Not Biblical? What then can they make of the end of Matthew?
(28:18)And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on
earth has been given to me. (19)Go therefore and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and
of the Holy Spirit, (20) and teaching them to obey everything that I
have commanded to you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end
of the age." {Other ancient authorities add *Amen*} [NRSV]
The notes give no sense that this is emended. Do other texts
contradict this regarding Baptism? Or is a misunderstanding of the
Trinity the most likely explanation after all?
But maybe I simply misunderstand their views. (Is anyone else out there
forced to read this group with both a good Bible and an unabridged
dictionary?? Christianity really is an education in itself.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
|David R. Tucker KG2S [email protected]|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Arrgggghhhh. When I talked about people who rejected Trinitarian
language as unBiblical, I was speaking of Trinitarian theology, things
like "one essense and three persons". Obviously the three-fold
baptismal formula is Biblical, as you point out. (I normally use the
term "three-fold" in referring to Mat. While it is certainly
consistent with belief in the Trinity, the Trinity is a doctrine whose
full formulation occurred in the 4th and 5th Cent's. It's unlikely
that Mat. had in mind the fully-developed Trinitarian doctrine.
Indeed the three-fold baptismal formula is used by some groups that do
not believe in the Trinity.) The disagreement over baptismal formulae
occurs because of passages such as Acts 2:38, which command baptism in
the name of Jesus. (There are a couple of other passages in Acts as
well.) This leaves us with sort of a problem: we're commanded in Mat.
to baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,
and in Acts to baptize in the name of Jesus.
"Jesus only" groups baptize in the name of Jesus. They consider this
consistent with Mat 28:18, because they say that Jesus is the name of
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I'm not the right one to
ask to explain what this means. I will simply say that it does not
appear to be normal Trinitarian theology. (It is also an odd way of
dealing with the idiomatic phrase "in the name of".)
Those who use the three-fold formula don't seem to have a standard
answer to the passages talking about baptizing in the name of Jesus.
I suspect that the most common explanation is to say that "in the name
of" need not be a verbal formula. To say that you baptize in the name
of Jesus may simply mean that you are doing baptism under Jesus'
authority. In the 1st Cent. context, it contrasts Christian baptism
with the baptism of John or other Jewish baptism. Of course there's a
certain parallelism between these passages. That suggests that we
could just as well say that Mat 28:18 doesn't require the specific
three-fold formula to be used in baptism, but simply characterizes
baptism done by those who follow the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
One might well suspect that in the early church, more than one
baptismal formula was used. So long as we consider following Jesus to
be the same as following the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, no great
damage would be done by such a difference. This does *not* mean that
I think we should go back to using both formulae. Baptism is one of
the few things that almost all Christian groups now recognize
mutually, so I do not think doing something to upset that would be in
the interests of the Gospel. This is reinforced by the fact that
those groups that actually use "in the name of Jesus" now do seem to
have in mind a difference in doctrine. But as I've said before, I'm
not the one to explain what their doctrine is.

Subject: How do I compensate for photographic viewpoint and distortion?
Reply-To: [email protected]
Organization: Manchester Computing Centre, Manchester, England
Lines: 42
Hi to all out there. We have this problem, and I'm not certain I'm solving it
in the correct way. I was wondering if anyone can shed light on this, or point
me in the right place to look...
We have an X-ray imaging camera and a metallic tube with a cylindrical hole
passing through it at a right angle to the tube's axis:
|
|| [ image
|
X-ray source ] || | screen
metallic || tube |
|| |
|
We know source--screen centre distance, radius of the tube, radius of the hole.
We do some calculations based on the image of the hole on the screen. However,
the calculations are mathematically highly complex, and must assume that the
object's hole projects an image (resembling an ellipse if the tube is not
parallel to the screen) in the centre of the screen. However, it is unlikely
that the object is placed so conveniently.
Firstly, we must transform the major and minor axis of the ellipse. I cannot
know what the angle between the tube and screen is. Do I have to assume that
they are parallel to do the transformation? How do I do this transformation?
Secondly, there is a distortion of the image due to the screen being planar
(the source--screen distance increases as we move away from the centre of the
screen). How can I compensate the ellipse's axis for this image distortion?
So, please can anyone give us a few pointers here? How do we transform the
image so it appears as it would if it were in the centre of the screen, and how
do I deal with distortion due to the shape of the screen?
We'd appreciate any help, either posted or emailed.
Thanks in advance, Simon.

I use the Diamond SpeedStar 24X in 1024X768X256 mode all of the time. I
have NOT found distortions in the cursor. The cursor is a little jumpy

First, I do not believe that there is any way to find an "objective morality".
Morality and value are inherently subjective - they represent the beliefs of a
person or a group of people. They can be widely held, perhaps even
overwhelmingly held, but they are never and _can_ never be objective.

Second, I do not accept the assumptions that you make here. If, as you say,
you are trying to be objective, then why accept a morality to begin with by
using the Christian Bible? You're defeating your own purpose by doing so.

Third, call me a pessimist, but you won't stop the flamage. There will always
be people who pop upin alt.sex.* to tell us how sick and twisted and evil we
all are. Just out of curiosity, do alt.sex readers show up unprovoked in the
religion groups to tell you all that you are narrow-minded, censoring,
overbearing totalitarianists?

Hm. Let me provide an example. Four people get together over dinner, to
discuss morality: you, me, a rather conservative Moslem, and a sociopath. I
start off by saying that I think it's immoral to force people to have sex with
you. You agree, but also say that it is immoral to have sex with someone of
your own gender. (Just a note: I really don't know your views on
homosexuality, I am just using this as a common view of morality for the
purposes of this example.) The Moslem says that it is immoral for women to
have their faces uncovered.
The sociopath, who has become bored, kills all three of us and eats us, but
feels no guilt because he has done nothing wrong morally in his own mind.
> In support for the first assumption:

> The Christian scriptures say this:
(Evidence deleted)
I'm not going to accept your evidence for this. You ask us to accept "The Word
of God" that everything good comes from God. This is only a valid argument for
a person who shares your beliefs.
Still, I must say that cataloging the major themes and motifs in erotica could
be interesting for other reasons than yours, so good luck with this next part.

One could construe this to mean that beautiful people are better, or "more

not necessarily true.

Yes, and this theme is usually what the better stories are about. However,
they are not always selfish - I could point to examples in the work of Elf
Sternberg, for example.

It serves the same purpose as it does in pornographic movies: it affirms the
virility of the male involved, as well as assuring the reader that he (the
character) has orgasmed.

Your Whole Picture [TM] unfortunately only applies to people who accept your
church.
In addition, if sex is for procreation, then
1) Why did God make it pleasurable, so that people would want to do it,
rather than building it in as instinct?
2) Why did God make it fallible? Not every sexual encounter results in
pregnancy, even among Catholics. Does this mean that they have sinned?

Pornography would not tend in those directions if there were not a demand for
it. Many people have violent fantasies that they would never act out in real
life, but will think about and read about and mull over.

It is unfortunate that many fail to understand this crucial

Indeed, I find the latter in absolute and complete contradiction

The same way that any theory is proven false. You examine the predicitions
that the theory makes, and try to observe them. If you don't, or if you
observe things that the theory predicts wouldn't happen, then you have some
evidence against the theory. If the theory can't be modified to
incorporate the new observations, then you say that it is false.
For example, people used to believe that the earth had been created
10,000 years ago. But, as evidence showed that predictions from this
theory were not true, it was abandoned.

You still need to supply a proper ground for a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter!
So rewiring is still a part of this job, however, the ground may be connected to
a local earth ground, rather than back at the breaker box.
As Jamie said, GFCI devices are required by code in a number of places, most
notably: bathrooms, and outside the house. I do suggest the use of GFCI outlets,
rather than the breakers. You will end up with much less headaches. Noise pickup
in long cable runs is sometimes enough to cause frequent tripping of the breakers.
GFCI devices do save lives, if you decide to install them, be sure to check them
regularly (using the test button).
Running the family business (electrical supplies and lighting) for many years, I
have seen too many seasoned electricians fried, because they forgot to double check
their common sense list. Please exercise caution.

A friend of mine is going in later this week for tests to see if has

of the disease. He works in woodworking. I believe he has a very

me this..I've never seen him light up. He has some pretty healthy
life style habits, good diet, exercise, meditation, retreats, therapy
etc. Anyhow..he is very concerned with this check up. I know really
nothing about the disease. I believe it interferes with the lining
of the lung being able to exchange oxygen.
Is a diagnosis of emphysema a death sentence? If he were to give up smoking
entirely would that better his chances for recovery? What are some
modern therapies used in people with this disease? I would appreciate
any information. Thanks. [email protected]

Read it again yourself, then re-apply the admonition you gave to the
previous poster to yourself, as well. The first clause is not a condition,
it is a reason for explicitly supporting the right WHICH EXISTS, MILITIA
OR NOT, that the people have a right to keep and bear arms. This is
NOT a right granted by the Constitution, it is a right presumed to exist
by default. The Constitution mentioning a right is to prevent the
government from removing that right by stating very clearly the government
shall NOT infringe (mess with, block, limit) that right. Remember the
Constitution is a bunch of negative things - things the government CANNOT
do. All rights, etc not epxressly given to the government go to the
states and the PEOPLE (the same people the other 9 Amendments in the
Bill of Rights talk about).
Since I am sure you will summarily reject my interpretation, I am
appending a linguistic analysis by one far more expert than myself (and
you, I suspect). I am sure you will find his qualifications adequate.
If that isn't enough I can send you the Senate Subcommitee to the
Judiciary on the Constitution report on the same thing... There are
some things in there that Big Brother types, like Biden, etc must have
really had to swallow hard to admit.
I think you will find that people that seriously study the Constitution
and state what it means will say the same thing. Those who come up
with 'new improved meanings' are those who are trying to subvert the
Constitution for a given agenda. Like Clinton and his Clinton Cripple,
Gun Control, People Control, and Control Control, and the whole nasty
mess.

THE UNABRIDGED SECOND AMENDMENT
by J. Neil Schulman
If you wanted to know all about the Big Bang, you'd ring up Carl Sagan,
right ? And if you wanted to know about desert warfare, the man to call
would be Norman Schwarzkopf, no question about it. But who would you call
if you wanted the top expert on American usage, to tell you the meaning
of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution ?
That was the question I asked A.C. Brocki, editorial coordinator of the Los
Angeles Unified School District and formerly senior editor at Houghton
Mifflin Publishers -- who himself had been recommended to me as the
foremost expert on English usage in the Los Angeles school system. Mr.
Brocki told me to get in touch with Roy Copperud, a retired professor
journalism at the University of Southern California and the author of
"American Usage and Style: The Consensus."
A little research lent support to Brocki's opinion of Professor Copperud's
expertise.
Roy Copperud was a newspaper writer on major dailies for over three decades
before embarking on a a distinguished 17-year career teaching journalism at
USC. Since 1952, Copperud has been writing a column dealing with the
professional aspects of journalism for "Editor and Publisher", a weekly
magazine focusing on the journalism field.
He's on the usage panel of the American Heritage Dictionary, and Merriam
Webster's Usage Dictionary frequently cites him as an expert. Copperud's
fifth book on usage, "American Usage and Style: The Consensus," has been in
continuous print from Van Nostrand Reinhold since 1981, and is the winner
of the Association of American Publisher's Humanities Award.
That sounds like an expert to me.
After a brief telephone call to Professor Copperud in which I introduced
myself but did not give him any indication of why I was interested, I sent
the following letter:
"I am writing you to ask you for your professional opinion as an expert in
English usage, to analyze the text of the Second Amendment to the United
States Constitution, and extract the intent from the text.
"The text of the Second Amendment is, 'A well-regulated Militia, being
necessary for the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep
and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.'
"The debate over this amendment has been whether the first part of the
sentence, 'A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a
free State', is a restrictive clause or a subordinate clause, with respect
to the independent clause containing the subject of the sentence, 'the
right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.'
"I would request that your analysis of this sentence not take into
consideration issues of political impact or public policy, but be restricted
entirely to a linguistic analysis of its meaning and intent. Further,
since your professional analysis will likely become part of litigation
regarding the consequences of the Second Amendment, I ask that whatever
analysis you make be a professional opinion that you would be willing to
stand behind with your reputation, and even be willing to testify under
oath to support, if necessary."
My letter framed several questions about the test of the Second Amendment,
then concluded:
"I realize that I am asking you to take on a major responsibility and task
with this letter. I am doing so because, as a citizen, I believe it is
vitally important to extract the actual meaning of the Second Amendment.
While I ask that your analysis not be affected by the political importance of
its results, I ask that you do this because of that importance."
After several more letters and phone calls, in which we discussed terms for
his doing such an analysis, but in which we never discussed either of our
opinions regarding the Second Amendment, gun control, or any other political
subject, Professor Copperud sent me the follow analysis (into which I have
inserted my questions for the sake of clarity):
[Copperud:] "The words 'A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the
security of a free state,' contrary to the interpretation cited in your
letter of July 26, 1991, constitutes a present participle, rather than a
clause. It is used as an adjective, modifying 'militia,' which is
followed by the main clause of the sentence (subject 'the right', verb
'shall'). The to keep and bear arms is asserted as an essential for
maintaining a militia.
"In reply to your numbered questions:
[Schulman:] "(1) Can the sentence be interpreted to grant the right to keep
and bear arms solely to 'a well-regulated militia'?"
[Copperud:] "(1) The sentence does not restrict the right to keep and bear
arms, nor does it state or imply possession of the right elsewhere or by
others than the people; it simply makes a positive statement with respect
to a right of the people."
[Schulman:] "(2) Is 'the right of the people to keep and bear arms' granted
by the words of the Second Amendment, or does the Second Amendment assume a
preexisting right of the people to keep and bear arms, and merely state
that such right 'shall not be infringed'?"
[Copperud:] "(2) The right is not granted by the amendment; its existence
is assumed. The thrust of the sentence is that the right shall be
preserved inviolate for the sake of ensuring a militia."
[Schulman:] "(3) Is the right of the people to keep and bear arms
conditioned upon whether or not a well regulated militia, is, in fact
necessary to the security of a free State, and if that condition is not
existing, is the statement 'the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,
shall not be infringed' null and void?"
[Copperud:] "(3) No such condition is expressed or implied. The right to
keep and bear arms is not said by the amendment to depend on the existence
of a militia. No condition is stated or implied as to the relation of the
right to keep and bear arms and to the necessity of a well-regulated
militia as a requisite to the security of a free state. The right to keep
and bear arms is deemed unconditional by the entire sentence."
[Schulman:] "(4) Does the clause 'A well-regulated Militia, being necessary
to the security of a free State,' grant a right to the government to place
conditions on the 'right of the people to keep and bear arms,' or is such
right deemed unconditional by the meaning of the entire sentence?"
[Copperud:] "(4) The right is assumed to exist and to be unconditional, as
previously stated. It is invoked here specifically for the sake of the
militia."
[Schulman:] "(5) Which of the following does the phrase 'well-regulated
militia' mean: 'well-equipped', 'well-organized,' 'well-drilled,'
'well-educated,' or 'subject to regulations of a superior authority'?"
[Copperud:] "(5) The phrase means 'subject to regulations of a superior
authority;' this accords with the desire of the writers for civilian
control over the military."
[Schulman:] "(6) (If at all possible, I would ask you to take account the
changed meanings of words, or usage, since that sentence was written 200
years ago, but not take into account historical interpretations of the
intents of the authors, unless those issues can be clearly separated."
[Copperud:] "To the best of my knowledge, there has been no change in the
meaning of words or in usage that would affect the meaning of the
amendment. If it were written today, it might be put: "Since a
well-regulated militia is necessary tot he security of a free state, the
right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be abridged.'
[Schulman:] "As a 'scientific control' on this analysis, I would also
appreciate it if you could compare your analysis of the text of the Second
Amendment to the following sentence,
"A well-schooled electorate, being necessary to the security of a free
State, the right of the people to keep and read Books, shall not be
infringed.'
"My questions for the usage analysis of this sentence would be,
"(1) Is the grammatical structure and usage of this sentence and the way
the words modify each other, identical to the Second Amendment's sentence?;
and
"(2) Could this sentence be interpreted to restrict 'the right of the people
to keep and read Books' _only_ to 'a well-educated electorate' -- for
example, registered voters with a high-school diploma?"
[Copperud:] "(1) Your 'scientific control' sentence precisely parallels the
amendment in grammatical structure.
"(2) There is nothing in your sentence that either indicates or implies the
possibility of a restricted interpretation."
Professor Copperud had only one additional comment, which he placed in his
cover letter: "With well-known human curiosity, I made some speculative
efforts to decide how the material might be used, but was unable to reach
any conclusion."
So now we have been told by one of the top experts on American usage what
many knew all along: the Constitution of the United States unconditionally
protects the people's right to keep and bear arms, forbidding all
governments formed under the Constitution from abridging that right.
As I write this, the attempted coup against constitutional government in the
Soviet Union has failed, apparently because the will of the people in that
part of the world to be free from capricious tyranny is stronger than the
old guard's desire to maintain a monopoly on dictatorial power.
And here in the United States, elected lawmakers, judges, and appointed
officials who are pledged to defend the Constitution of the United States
ignore, marginalize, or prevaricate about the Second Amendment routinely.
American citizens are put in American prisons for carrying arms, owning
arms of forbidden sorts, or failing to satisfy bureaucratic requirements
regarding the owning and carrying of firearms -- all of which is an
abridgement of the unconditional right of the people to keep and bear arms,
guaranteed by the Constitution.
And even the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), staunch defender of the
rest of the Bill of Rights, stands by and does nothing.
it seems it is up to those who believe in the right to keep and bear arms to
preserve that right. no one else will. No one else can. Will we beg our
elected representatives not to take away our rights, and continue regarding
them as representing us if they do? Will we continue obeying judges who
decide that the Second Amendment doesn't mean what it says it means but
means whatever they say it means in their Orwellian doublespeak ?

I like Alomar. But I'd like to differ with your opinion about "a city
which is likely to pour in the votes...".
I attended many games last year during the balloting. I know that a
great number of the attendees DID NOT fill out their ballots, but left
them, beer soaked and torn on the floor of the stands. Toronto gets
no more and no less votes than any other city for the All Star game.
Unfortunately, this is not a one time thing. I've attended games
during the last four seasons, and it has happened every time. The
apathetic attitude to All Star ballots really offends me.

It isn't so much a matter of 'interpretation' of Bible texts
that sets Mormonism apart from orthodoxy as it is a matter of
*fabrication*.
About 20 years ago, _National Lampoon_ had some comic strips
in them that were drawn by Neal Adams. They were called "Son o' God" comics.
It was a parody of the Jesus in the Bible. In the comic, there were a
group of thirteen Jewish kids from Brooklyn, and when one of them said
the magic word, he turned into "Son o' God." He went from a myopic,
curly headed, yarmulke wearing boy to a replica of the stylizied
portraits of Jesus --- with long flowing brown hair and gentile
features.
Now, if someone were to profess faith in this NatLamp Jesus,
and claim that they were a Christian because they believed in this
NatLamp Jesus, we would have to say that this was fallacious since
this Jesus was a fabrication, and did not really exist.
This is the exact same thing that the LDS do when they claim
that they are Christian. They profess faith in Jesus, but the Jesus
that they profess to have faith in is as much a fabrication as the
NatLamp Jesus was.

I guess what I am really asking, like I did above, how does my government
who is my servent, tell me the soveriegn what I can or cannot possess?
It would seem to me that the act of possessing a machine gun is no less
"criminal", by definition, than the act of possessing a television set. I also would seem
to me that it would be better to pass laws that say, that if I harm
or kill someone with the machine gun or the television set that there
would be specific penalties for doing such.

Do you know what a bi-metallic strip is?
Just in case: it is two strips of different metals bonded together, which
when heated bend to one side (check out the blinker globe in your
christmas tree lights).
So when you turn on the power, this causes the bulb to work like a neon,
heating up and shorting out, thus providing a loop to power the heaters in
the main tube. When the tube fires, insufficient current runs through the
starter to keep the heat up and the bi-metalic strip straightens out
(O/C).
BTW, I too thought that they were nothing more than a small neon, so one
day when the neon in my sisters digital (flip the metal squares type)
clock broke (flimsy leads), I replaced it with one from a starter. Well
powering up made a bit of a mess of the clock!

The graphics capabilities of the computers were very faked for movie

SF (and I"ve always wondered how Crichton escapes this classification) is
usually ahead of science in both prediction and precaution. NASA's
decontaimination processes were supposedly taken to prevent SF story
disasters. I mean, NASA scientists were often SF readers (and
sometimes writers) and felt pre-warned by their reading.

The "`little' things" above were in reference to Germany, clearly. People
said that there were similar things in Germany, but no one could name any.
They said that these were things that everyone should know, and that they

It has *caused* problems? Again, no one has shown that things were better
before the motto, or that they'd likely be better after. I don't think
the motto initiates any sort of harassment. Harassment will occur whether
or not the motto is present.

The point is that the original poster was talking about connecting
ground and neutral in the *outlet* box (big NO NO), and you are talking
about them being connected in the breaker box (as things should be).
If this is not obvious, the point is that there should be current
flow in the white, i.e. neutral/return wires when things in the
house are operating. There should not be any flow in the ground wires
unless there is a fault condition. Notice also that in the breaker box
there is a wire leading from the above-mentioned junction to earth ground,
usually a pipe or spike driven into the ground.

How hard would it be to somehow interface them to some of the popular

starting to get into them for some of my projects. I have several 256k
SIMMs laying around from upgraded Macs and if I could use them as "free"

Subject: new encryption
Nntp-Posting-Host: rac3.wam.umd.edu
Organization: University of Maryland, College Park
Lines: 120
As promised, I spoke today with the company mentioned in a Washington
Times article about the Clipper chip announcement. The name of the company
is Secure Communicatiions Technology (Information will be given at the end
of this message on how to contact them).
Basically they are disturbed about the announcement for many reasons that
we are. More specifically however, Mr. Bryen of Secure Communications
brought to light many points that might interest most of the readers.
His belief is that AT&T was made known of the clipper well before the
rest of the industry. This is for several reasons, several of which are:
- A company of AT&T's size could never be able to make a decision to use
the new chip on the SAME DAY it was announced.
- Months ago they proposed using their own chip for AT&T's secure telephone
devices. AT&T basically blew them off as being not interested at all.
This stuck them as strange, until now...
Also I spoke with Art Melnick, their cryptographer, he expressed several
concerns over the new Clipper Chip:
- The obvious backdoor will be able to let many people decrypt the code.
- Once the key is released to authorities the security of the crypto
system is lost forever. These keys can end up in the hands of any agency
of the government.
- The fact that the escrowed keys never change means that the algorithm
is vulnerable over time to an attacker.
- The classified algorithm may hide another backdoor. But he feels that
it is probably to keep people from forging fake serial numbers, or
changing the keys themselves.
- Additionally he feels that the NSA has probably spent enough time and
money in working on a way to keep this chip from being reversed
engineered, that he feels that reverse engineering it will be very
difficult to do. He feels that they have developed a suitable technique
to protect the chip from this attack. Also he feels that the chip is
hardware encoded with the algorithm and not microcoded onto the chip.
Additonally I spoke with Mr. Melnick about their algorithm. He couldn't tell
me much about their new agorithm because it hasn't been patented yet.
However he told me a little:
- The algorithm will be released for public review after patents have been
granted for it. This is so the crypto community can see that it is
secure.
- The algorithm is called NEA for New Encryption Algorithm.
The details were sketchy because now it is held as a trade secret
until the patent was issued, but I was told that it will incorporate
the following:
- It will have fast encryption of data (Exact specs not given, but
Mr. Melnick stated "Much faster than what an RS-232 can put out.")
- It is a symmetric cipher, just like IDEA and DES.
- It will use 64 bit data blocks for encryption (like DES and IDEA).
- The key length was not given to me, but Mr. Melnick states that
it is _adujustable_ and is "More than adequate for security."
- The algorithm is written in C and Assembler in software form, and
can be ported to many platforms (Unlike the the Clipper Chip which
is hardware ONLY and cannot be made into software) This I
consider a definite plus for the NEA for widespread use.
- The algorithm will accomodate public key distribution techniques
such as RSA or Diffie-Hellman. This will also be supported in the
hardware chip.
- Right now the projected cost of the NEA chip will be about 10 dollars
for each!! (Clipper will run 25 each chip [that is if it is produced
enough, which probably won't happen]).
- They currently sell a program called C-COM that uses the algorithm
and a special streaming protocol that does not divide the encrypted
data into "blocks." This could prevent plaintext attacks if you know
what the block header is. This program operates at all supported
RS-232 speeds and uses the software implementation of the algorithm.
- Most importantly: IT DOES NOT HAVE A BACKDOOR!!
Right now the company is afraid that the new clipper chip will put them out
of business. This is a very real possibility. So they really need help in
stopping the clipper chip from becoming a standard. If you want to contact
them, they can be reached at..

Since the actual verdicts were not known by the authorities, it was
smart not to allow "Friday night for fighting" (sorry, Elton) and to
seal them for this morning. Also, it allows for maximum daylight to
wear down and frustrate any potential troublemakers, as well as give

A net-contact in L.A. tells me that the alert will remain over this
weekend, as some elements may find excuse over the not-guilty verdicts
on three of five charges (the aiding-and-abetting). Those acquittals
seem to balance out the fact that Rodney King himself was not any kind
of angel that night, speeding and fleeing et al. However ... Another
consideration is any street celebrations over the two convictions on
the excessive force charges (Koons for incompetance, and Powell for
overreacting --- both guilty as heck even from the view of NYPD cops
interviewed) that might get out of hand. )-; Also, some elements
may take the acquittals as an excuse to challenge the cops (a dumb
move, obviously). And, Koreans are still scared and certain people
are really mad over how they have armed themselves in the last year.
A Commander from Nassau, Long Island was questioned about how his
people would have handled Rodney King, and he said "We'd have let
him roll around in the dirt 'til he got tired, then handcuff him".

Indeed, an extreme example. It came "out of nowhere." The connection
Kekule saw between it and his problem is fortunate but not extraordinary.
I, for example, often receive/conjure solutions (hypotheses for solutions)
to my everyday problems at moments when I appear to myself to be occupied
with activities quite removed. Algorithms for that new software feature come
when I trample the meadow on my occasional runs. Alternative (better>) ways
to instruct and rear my sons arrive while I weed the garden. I'll swear I am
not thinking about any of it when ideas come.
These ideas are not the stuff of "great" discoveries, of course, but my
connecting them to particular problems is fraught with deliberation and
occasional fits of rationality.

Yes. And he was lucky to have such a colorful, vivid image. I, alas, will
never figure out why returning worms to the loose soil of my garden brought,
"have him count objects instead of merely count" to mind regarding my 2
year-old's fledging arithmetic skills.

The latter. Worms wiggling around in the dirt fascinate my son.

And since the Japanese corps aren't part of our "government/governors"

Anyways, crawl back into the hole you crawled out of...the NBA doesn't
care where they get basketball players from, major league baseball
doesn't give a damn where they get baseball players from (except Cuba,
that is).
Canada is in no imminent danger of being overtaken as the primary
supplier of players...Sweden, Finland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia
are all relatively small countries, and cannot really produce players
at a greater rate than they are already producing them, and the
potential influx from the former Soviet Union is severely blunted
because the system has been raided and is starved for finances and
will take a decade or two, to recover and become a real threat, and
the US will just maintain its slow increase. Canada should continue
to supply 60% plus of the top hockey players in the world for the
forseeable future.
Besides we need the European hockey market if hockey is to take
its rightful place besides soccer as the two predominant world
sports...and since soccer is essentially boring, unlike hockey.

Canadians are under no threat...the European numbers will soon saturate,
if they haven't already...and by the time Russia comes online again,
the NHL should be a world league, and there will be many more teams
to stock and many more jobs for Canadian hockey players. In the near
team, the percentage of Canadians will mostly decline because of
Americans, not because of Europeans.

This strikes me as a tad ingenous. "If X had done/note done Y, then Z would
never have happened." I tend to place tha responsibility on the group/person
actually committing the act, not on those whon "forced them to do it".
After all, to take an extreme example, if the British were not in Northern
Ireland, the IRA would not be forced to place bombs in shopping centers.
That said, this whole sorry story was a totally unecessary, utterly fucked
up mess from the get go.

Is that so? or you were taking advantage of weakness of ottoman
empire to grab some land. As soon as you got green lights from
allied forces, you occupied Izmir and other cities in western
Turkey. You killed and raped millions people without any reason.
Of course, you paid the price. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk made

**Compromise on what, the invasion of Cyprus, the involment of Turkey in
**Greek politics, the refusal of Turkey to accept 12 miles of territorial
**waters as stated by international law, the properties of the Greeks of
**Konstantinople, the ownership of the islands in the Greek lake,sorry, Aegean.
What compromise are you talking about on Cyprus. That is not Greece
business to join the island to Greece. That is up to people in the island
to live or not to live together. They made their decision and they are
living separetely now.There is a peace there. Greeks can't slaughter
Turks anymore because turkish peacemaking force is there.
Your dream will never come true. 12 mile territorialwater!!!!
Are you joking or dreaming? We can declare our 12 miles territorial
water which can come close to Athens. How would you like it?
If you have any guts why don't you shoot at some Turkish ships
in your dream 12 mile territorial waters?
We do not have any city called Konstantinople. We have a city
called ISTANBUL!!!! All the greeks in Istanbul are being
treated just any other Turks. There is no difference among people
in Turkey. You look at your own backyard first before talking
about human rights in Turkey. What are the rights of Turks in Greece?
Nothing. They do not even have basic human rights like right to
have property, fredom of religion, fredom of press, fredom of
vote elect their community leaders. Government of Greece publicly
encourages people to destroy and burn schools, religious places,
houses, and farms belong to turkish minority. Then, Greek government
forces these minorities to go to Turkey without anything with them.
You will dream to see Aegean sea as Greek lake but it will never
happen. Think about the war between Turkey and Greece in 1915.
The river called SAKARYA flood 21 days filled with blood in 1915.

You mean that any person who supports the actions and policies of the
government of Greece is a good person. That is your Greek idea to
say Turks are bad people. We know who we are and proud to be TURKS
anywhere in the world. That is not Greeks business to tell us what
kind of people we are. You are not at position to judge people because
you are not civilized enough to give equal rights to your own minorities.
Millions of minorities are being treated as third class citizen,
their rights are taken away from them, and they have no voices under
the Government of Greece. They are almost being treated as slaves
even though we are getting into 21th century. Therefore, do not make me

The Government of Greece is actively supporting terrorism against
Turkey.Armenian and Kurdish terrorists have headquarters in Athens.
They are being trained in special camps in Greece. They are taught how to
kill innocent women and children.This not a claim, this is a fact known
by whole world. In conlusion, you are in action to murder, rape,
destroy the innocent people. I do not take you seriously because you
are not at any positions to talk about human rights and dignity.
Your own government, the Government of Greece actively supports
atrocities in Bosnia. Serbs's Barbarism pleases your government.
Please Napoleon think twice before you write anything about Turks and
Turkey. You are the worst in human right conditions and treatment of
the minorities. Who wants to be a fried with someone whose government
does not respect the human rights, supports terrorism in Turkey,barbaric
actions in Bosnia, treats Turkish minorities as third class citizen and
take away all of their rights, treating them as slaves at the beginning
of 21th century???????

Due to the resolution and size it is in 14 parts.
This is a uuencoded bitmap. 960X600 256 colors.
The picture is a marbled gazebo on a desert with blue sky background.
The size is just right for centered wallpaper on a 1024x768 display
because it leaves a border at the bottom just big enough for icons
to fit in without being on top of the picture. Reguarding image
quality and resolution - I have not seen much better.
For those of you who haven't worked with pieced image files, here
is how to put it back together.
1. save the 14 parts to 14 individual files
2. use a text editor to remove the header and footer
in each file.
3. concatinate all the parts into a single file
4. uudecode the file
There are tools available to do this without the hassle such as
uuconvert (UNIX) and UUcoder (Windows). If neccesary I could post
these tools or where to get them by FTP -- let me know.

Subject: converting color gif to X pixmap
Summary: How to convert color gif to color pixmap
Keywords: gif pixmap
Nntp-Posting-Host: turquoise
Organization: Motorola Inc., Cellular Infrastructure Group
Lines: 34
I have looked through the FAQ sections and have not
seen a answer for this.
I have an X/Motif application that I have written.
I have a couple of gif files (or pict) that I have
scanned in with a color scanner. Now I would like
to be able to convert the gif files into a format
that could be read into my application and displayed
on the background of its main window. Preferably with
pixmaps, or perhaps as an XImage.
I have found functions in the pbmplus program suite
to convert gif to xbm, but that is monochrome, and
I really do need color.
I have looked at xv, which reads in gif, and writes
out several formats, but have not found a way to write
out a file which can be read in as a pixmap.
Is there an easy way to do this?
email responses preferred.
thanks!

It's not the fact that it can't exist that bothers me. It's
the fact that you don't seem to be able to define it.
If I wanted to hear about indefinable things that might in
principle exist as long as you don't think about them too
carefully, I could ask a religious person, now couldn't I?

Subject: finding out state of state keys (eg, CapsLock and NumLock)
Organization: The Internet
Lines: 19
To: [email protected]
Hi. I've looked in the FAQ and the O-Reilly books and was unable to
find (an easy) means of finding out the state of state keys such as
CapsLock and NumLock. I can certainly track the events inside of my
window and set a boolean there, but what if CapsLock is pressed in
another window? I looked at XGrabKey() and decided it was definitely
NOT what I wanted to do. I could find no convenience function to tell
me that information.
My question is this: Is there a means of determining what the state
of CapsLock and/or NumLock is?
An even more pointed question: Is there an easy means of making an X
keyboard act like a PC keyboard? ie, CapsLock is active, and the user
presses shift-a, I'd like to get a lowercase 'a' instead of 'A'.
Any input is greatly appreciated. Please respond via email. I will
repost a summary of my findings.
Thanks, Ralph

I do agree with you, in a way. The war on drugs has failed, but in my opinion,
that doesn't mean we have to give up. Only change the tactics.
For instance, here are how some penalties should be changed.
Dealing Coke -- Death
Dealing Heroin -- Death
Dealing Pot -- Death
Dealing Crack -- Death
The list goes on and on!!!......
JUST KIDDING!!!
However, on a more serious note, I do believe that we should take some money
away from the foriegn operations in South America and costly border
interdiction efforts. (Don't think I'm going to say, "spend it to educate
people", because I know plenty of educated dopers). Actually, spend it on
things like drug treatment programs.
I saw an interesting story on 60 minutes about how the British actually
prescribe and addict his "recommended" dosage, and try to ween him off from it,
or cut the amount down to levels where it is "acceptable". Sounds good so far
from what I heard with a decrease in cost, lower addiction rates by wiping out
the dealer's markets, etc. (But that was the only thing I have heard about it.)
However, legalizing it and just sticking some drugs in gas stations to be
bought like cigarettes is just plain silly. Plus, I have never heard of a
recommended dosage for drugs like crack, ecstasy, chrystal meth and LSD.
The 60 Minute Report said it worked with "cocaine" cigarettes, pot and heroin.

Subject: converting keyboard for mac plus
Organization: Illinois State University
Lines: 35
I have an old Mac Plus. A couple of years ago I bought a shiney new lc.
It came with apple's new keyboard (with abd ports). i replaced it with
a mac-pro-plus extended keyboard (which i thoroughly enjoy, thank you
very much).
well, i have this extra keyboard which i would like to use on the plus
but there's a little problem. the plus uses an rj-11 jack for keyboard
input and the new keyboards don't. i got an extra adb cable from my
local apple dealer (they're such nice people), but they couldn't tell
me the order of the wires.
there are four wires in the adb cables: black, white, red, tan. I know
one's a ground, one gets the serial signal, one supplies 5 volts, and
i forgot what the fourth one does. anyway, if you hook them up wrong
you'll fry a board and i <really> don't want to do <that>.
if any brave souls out there have done this before, please e-mail your
experience directly to me. i would greatly appreciate it especially
since apple's original keyboard is not . . . ergonomically correct.
btw, i did take apart my new keyboard to see if i could find the
correlation between the wires for the rj-11 jack and the adb since it
has both, but no such luck (the connections are soldered inside of
little boxes). Oh, well . . .

I've noticed some of you mentioning owning a Quadra 800 8/230 with CD300
and 1meg of VRAM. It seems that this configuration was purchased
complete; that is, the CD300 and VRAM were already installed in the box.
I am interested in that exact configuration and will be buying with an
educational discount but have not found the CD300 bundled with any Q800
smaller than the 8/500.
If you bought or know how to buy the 8/230 with CD installed, please let
me know what you know via email:

From what I understand about radar dectectors all they are is a passive
device much like the radio in your car. They work as an antenna picking
up that radar signals that the radar gun sends out. Therefore there would
be no way of detecting a radar detector any more than there would be of
detecting whether some one had a radio in their car.

YES!
I call this notion "psychological health food" and, in fact, have
determined that the Four Food Groups are Ice Cream, Pizza, Barbecue, and
Chocolate. Ideally, every meal should contain something from at least two
of these four groups. Food DOES serve functions other than nutrition, and
one of them is keeping the organism happy and thus aiding its immune
system.
And I didn't spend a million bucks commissioning a study that told me to
redraw my silly little pyramid in different colors and with a friendlier
typeface, either. (Ref: Consumer Reports' back page--one of the best
things ever to turn up there.)
Rich Young <[email protected]> writes of one of six impossible things:

Yeah, I want to try one of those 42oz steaks (cooked over applewood) at
Wally's Wolf Lodge Inn in Coeur d'Alene. That seems quite
unrealistic--unrealistically SMALL. And a few slabs of ribs from the East
Texas Smoker (RIP, again) in Louisville is not at all unrealistic either.
What say we have a rec.food.cooking dinner at the Moonlite Bar-B-Que Inn in
Owensboro? (It's all you can eat including lamb ribs & mutton for about
$10.) We could invite Julie Kangas as guest of honor and see if the
Moonlite's Very Hot Sauce is too hot for her. (It IS too hot for me, and I
don't say that very often.) And she could bring ice cream with crushed
dried chiltepins for dessert.
And we could see if there IS such a thing as an "unrealistically large
quantity" of barbecue--the owner of the Moonlite estimates that the
Owensboro restaurants serve a hundred thousand pounds of meat a week in the
summer, and forty thousand in the winter--in a town of 50 000 or so. Two
pounds per person per week? Again, sure sounds unrealistic to me--thats
just too meager to be healthy.
~ Kiran (Now a two-pound slab of ribs a day, THAT's realistic.)

I own the Adcom 60W power amp. As far as I'm concerned, there's no
amp which can touch it at the price range.
The build quality is very impressive and is far superior to other
amps in the price range. The whole amplifier is extremely solid
with massive heat sinks and very solid casing.
If you open the amp up, there are only very good quality components
in and the amp seems to be designed extremely well. Perfect
symmetry for both channels and TWO transformers - one for each
channel. The binding posts on the back of the amplifier are
virtually the same as those on the Classe model 70 ie. very good.
I was also sceptical about the amps being built in the far-east
or where-ever. But if you look in the amp and see what components
they use and how it was designed, you can easily see why the
amplifiers sound so brilliant.
I cannot see why people say the amplifier won't last - not with
those quality components inside. Sure the amp runs very fairly
hot - but that's how you get an amp to sound incredibly good.
My last point, I recently auditioned the Adcom preamp something like
the 545 or something. It was two years old and it still sounded
like new.
If you build an amplifier decently, like the Adcom's, they will
sound brilliant and last a long time - period.
Just my thoughts, but then - I do own one of Adcom's amps.

I've sold one, but I still have 2 left for sale. I also realize that $45 is
alot of money, especially if you don't normally collect cards. So if enough
people are interested, I'll break up the set into team sets. I'm not sure
how much for each. It would be nice to just sell them for $3 each, but then
the people who get the Whalers and Devils (Note, I'm not bagging on these teams
its just that they don't have alot of good rookie cards in this set) would
be subsidizing the people who want Chicago or Pittsburgh. So I'll have to make
it varialble pricing. But most of them should be about $2 or $3 dollars.

Subject: DOCTRINE OF GOD
Organization: Oregon Health Sciences University
Lines: 111
This is being posted as a general outline for your personal study of this
doctrine:
THE DOCTRINE OF GOD
I. THE PERSONS OF THE GODHEAD
Of all of the doctrines of Scripture, this is the most
important. The Bible is pre-eminently a revelation of God.
Therefore, our first objective in studying the Bible should
be to know God.
I believe that the Bible teaches that there are Three
Persons in the Godhead (Trinity): God, the Father; God the
Son--the Lord Jesus Christ; and God, the Holy Spirit. I
believe that they are individual Persons who are one in
nature, meaning that They are identical in nature, each
possessing the same divine attributes. They are also
equally worthy of our worship, our trust, and our obedience.
Cf. Matt.28:19, 2 Cor.13:14; John 14:8,9,16,17.
II. THE ATTRIBUTES, or CHARACTERISTICS, OF THE GODHEAD.
A. God's nature is revealed in the Name He has taken for
Himself: Jehovah. He is the living God, eternal, and
unchanging. He is without beginning, and without
ending. Cf. Isa.42:8.
B. God is a spirit. Cf. John 4:24.
C. God is love. Cf. 1 John 4:8,16.
As such, He is gracious, merciful, good, faithful,
patient, and full of lovingkindness. Cf. Psa 89:1,2;
Psa 103:8; Nahum 1:7.
D. But God is also holy and righteous. He is absolutely
without sin in His nature, and so is incapable of
sinning in though, word, or action. Cf. Ex. 15:11; Isa.
6:3.
E. God is omnipresent (everywhere present at the same time
in the completeness of His Person), omniscient (all
knowing, knowing all things--the end from the beginning,
infinitely wise), omnipotent (almighty, sovereign, with
unlimited power over all creation).
God is infinite in His presence, wisdom, and power. It
is my conviction that the work of the Lord in our day
has become very man-centered, and that the people in our
churches know very little about God. I believe that the
Lord's work needs to be God-centered, and that the
people of God need to understand that God is sovereign
in all things: in the affairs of nations, in the lives
of all people, and in the carrying out of His purposes
regarding salvation.
III. THE WORKS OF THE GODHEAD.
A. In creation
All Three Persons of the Godhead were active in
creating, and all Three are active in sustaining
creation, and in ordering the course of human affairs
(for nations as well as individual people) to the end
of time. Cf. Gen. 1:1,2; John 1:1-3; Col. 1:16-17;
Heb. 1:3.
B. In salvation
In order to understand salvation I believe that it is
absolutely necessary to begin with God, not with man.
All three Persons of the Godhead have been, and are,
active in salvation.
1. God, the Father
Salvation originated with God. The Members of the
Godhead determined in eternity past that there would
be salvation, the conditions under which people
could and would be saved, and even who would be
saved. Election to salvation is recognized in
Scripture as the work of God, the Father. Cf. Eph
1:3-4; 2 Thess 2:13-14.
2. Christ, the Son of God
The Lord Jesus Christ, through His birth by the
virgin Mary, came to the earth to accomplish two
important works:
a. He came as the final and complete revelation of
God, the Father. Cf. Col 1:15; heb 1:1-3.
b. He came to provide salvation for all whom the
Father had chosen. He did this by His death on
the Cross, by His bodily resurrection, and by
His present intercessory work in heaven. The
work of salvation will be completed for us when
the Lord returns. Cf. Rom 5:8-10; 1 Cor 15:3-
4; Heb 7:25, 1 John 3:2.
3. The Holy Spirit
As the Author of Scripture, the theme of which is
Christ and His redemptive work, the Holy Spirit is
carrying out the redemptive plan of God in the
following ways:
a. He convicts of sin. Cf. John 16:7-11
b. He regenerates (known in the Bible as the new
birth). Cf. John 3:5-8.
c. He indwells each believer to fulfill the work
of sanctification. Cf. John 14-16-17.
d. He seals every believer in Christ, thus making
salvation secure. Cf. Eph 1:13-14.
e. He baptizes every believer into the body of
Christ. Cf. Cor. 12:13
f. He teaches every believer the truth of
Scripture. Cf. John 14:26.
g. He bestows spiritual gifts on the people of
God for ministry. (Cf. 1 Cor 12
h. He restrains sin. Cf Gal 5:16-26.
i. He empowers for living and for service.
Cf. Acts 1:8

COMPUTING CRATER DIAMETERS FROM EARTH-IMPACTING ASTEROIDS
Astrogeologist Gene Shoemaker proposes the following formula, based on
studies of cratering caused by nuclear tests.
(1/3.4)
D = S S c K W : crater diameter in km
g p f n
(1/6)
S = (g /g ) : gravity correction factor for bodies other than
g e t Earth, where g = 9.8 m/s^2 and g is the surface
e t
gravity of the target body. This scaling is
cited for lunar craters and may hold true for
other bodies.
(1/3.4)
S = (p / p ) : correction factor for target density p ,
p a t t
p = 1.8 g/cm^3 for alluvium at the Jangle U
a
crater site, p = 2.6 g/cm^3 for average
rock on the continental shields.
C : crater collapse factor, 1 for craters <= 3 km
in diameter, 1.3 for larger craters (on Earth).
(1/3.4)
K : .074 km / (kT TNT equivalent)
n empirically determined from the Jangle U
nuclear test crater.
3 2 19
W = pi * d * delta * V / (12 * 4.185 * 10 )
: projectile kinetic energy in kT TNT equivalent
given diameter d, velocity v, and projectile
density delta in CGS units. delta of around 3
g/cm^3 is fairly good for an asteroid.
An RMS velocity of V = 20 km/sec may be used for Earth-crossing
asteroids.
Under these assumptions, the body which created the Barringer Meteor
Crater in Arizona (1.13 km diameter) would have been about 40 meters in
diameter.
More generally, one can use (after Gehrels, 1985):
Asteroid Number of objects Impact probability Impact energy
diameter (km) (impacts/year) (* 5*10^20 ergs)
10 10 10^-8 10^9
1 1 000 10^-6 10^6
0.1 100 000 10^-4 10^3
assuming simple scaling laws. Note that 5*10^20 ergs = 13 000 tons TNT
equivalent, or the energy released by the Hiroshima A-bomb.

MAP PROJECTIONS AND SPHERICAL TRIGNOMETRY
Two easy-to-find sources of map projections are the "Encyclopaedia
Brittanica", (particularly the older volumes) and a tutorial appearing
in _Graphics Gems_ (Academic Press, 1990). The latter was written with
simplicity of exposition and suitability of digital computation in mind
(spherical trig formulae also appear, as do digitally-plotted examples).
More than you ever cared to know about map projections is in John
Snyder's USGS publication "Map Projections--A Working Manual", USGS
Professional Paper 1395. This contains detailed descriptions of 32
projections, with history, features, projection formulas (for both
spherical earth and ellipsoidal earth), and numerical test cases. It's a
neat book, all 382 pages worth. This one's $20.
You might also want the companion volume, by Snyder and Philip Voxland,
"An Album of Map Projections", USGS Professional Paper 1453. This
contains less detail on about 130 projections and variants. Formulas are
in the back, example plots in the front. $14, 250 pages.
You can order these 2 ways. The cheap, slow way is direct from USGS:
Earth Science Information Center, US Geological Survey, 507 National
Center, Reston, VA 22092. (800)-USA-MAPS. They can quote you a price and
tell you where to send your money. Expect a 6-8 week turnaround time.
A much faster way (about 1 week) is through Timely Discount Topos,
(303)-469-5022, 9769 W. 119th Drive, Suite 9, Broomfield, CO 80021. Call
them and tell them what you want. They'll quote a price, you send a
check, and then they go to USGS Customer Service Counter and pick it up
for you. Add about a $3-4 service charge, plus shipping.
A (perhaps more accessible) mapping article is:
R. Miller and F. Reddy, "Mapping the World in Pascal",
Byte V12 #14, December 1987
Contains Turbo Pascal procedures for five common map projections. A
demo program, CARTOG.PAS, and a small (6,000 point) coastline data
is available on CompuServe, GEnie, and many BBSs.

THREE-DIMENSIONAL STAR/GALAXY COORDINATES
To generate 3D coordinates of astronomical objects, first obtain an
astronomical database which specifies right ascension, declination, and
parallax for the objects. Convert parallax into distance using the
formula in part 6 of the FAQ, convert RA and declination to coordinates
on a unit sphere (see some of the references on planetary positions and
spherical trignometry earlier in this section for details on this), and
scale this by the distance.
Two databases useful for this purpose are the Yale Bright Star catalog
(sources listed in FAQ section 3) or "The Catalogue of Stars within 25
parsecs of the Sun" (in pub/SPACE/FAQ/stars.data and stars.doc on
ames.arc.nasa.gov).

--- cut here ---
WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The War on Drugs is about to get a fresh
start, President Clinton told delegates to the National Federation
of Police Commisioners convention in Washington.
In the first speech on the drug issue since his innaugural,
Clinton said that his planned escalation of the Drug War ``would make
everything so far seem so half-hearted that for all practical
purposes this war is only beginning now.'' He repeatedly emphasized
his view that ``regardless of what has been tried, or who has tried
it, or how long they've been trying it, this is Day One to me.''
The audience at the convention, whose theme is ``How do we spell
fiscal relief? F-O-R-F-E-I-T-U-R-E,'' interrupted Clinton frequently
with applause.
Clinton's program, presented in the speech, follows the
outline given in his campaign position papers: a cabinet-level Drug
Czar and ``boot camps'' for first-time youthful offenders. He did,
however, cover in more detail his plans for improved enforcement
methods. ``This year's crime bill will have teeth, not bare gums,''
Clinton said. In particular, his administration will place strict
controls on data formats and protocols, and require the registration
of so-called ``cryptographic keys,'' in the hope of denying drug
dealers the ability to communicate in secret. Clinton said the
approach could be used for crackdowns on other forms of underground
economic activity, such as ``the deficit-causing tax evaders who
live in luxury at the expense of our grandchildren.''
Clinton expressed optimism that the drug war can be won
``because even though not everyone voted for Bill Clinton last
November, everyone did vote for a candidate who shares my sense of
urgency about fighting the drug menace. The advocates of
legalization -- the advocates of surrender -- may be very good at
making noise,'' Clinton said. ``But when the American people cast
their ballots, it only proved what I knew all along -- that the
advocates of surrender are nothing more than a microscopic fringe.''

This is indeed one function, but more sophisticated ones do level control

The ground-lift switch disconnects the GND line from the mixer. The
transformer ratio depends on the precise application, but around 10:1
turns ratio may be a good place to start.

Based on the same reasons? You mean you were opposed to US intervention in
Somalia because since Somalia is a European country instead of the third world,
the desire to help Somalia is racist? I don't think this "same reason" applies
to Somalia at all.
The whole point is that Somalia _is_ a third world country, and we were more
willing to send troops there than to Bosnia--exactly the _opposite_ of what
the "fixation on European countries" theory would predict. (Similarly, the
desire to help Muslims being fought by Christians is also exactly the opposite
of what that theory predicts.)

I'm referring to people who want to help at all, of course. You don't see
people sending out press releases "help Bosnian Serbs with ethnic cleansing!
The Muslim presence in the Balkans should be eliminated now!" (Well, except
for some Serbs, but I admit that the desire of Serbs in America to help the
Serbian side probably _is_ because those are people more like them.)

Enemy? Sounds like that's the viewpoint of the stereotypical rednecked
conservative -- 'always been commies, always will be.' I suggest you
listen very carefully to the stuff Yeltsin and his people are saying
and compare that with the very anti-West slogans coming from his
opponents in the Russian congress. I sure know who I want to back.
Oh, BTW, Germany has sure come back as a terrible enemy after WWII,
hasn't it?

Better to let them degenerate into civil war? Remember all those
nuclear weapons in Russia. I cannot imagine that they would not
be used in a civil war. If nationialists take over and, even if
they prevent a civil war, most feel they must take back large
parts of land that are in other countries (like Ukraine.) I also cannot
imagine Ukraine giving up land without a fight, possibly nuclear.
How does this affect us? Well, we are on the same planet and if
vast tracks of Europe are blown away I think we'd feel something.
A massive breakup of a country that spans 1/6th the planet is
bound to have affects here. (Of course, there is also the
humanitarian argument that democracies should help other
democracies (or struggling democracies).)

Seriously. Everyone has different opinions on what is stupid.
My two "causes" are aid to Russia and a strong space program.
Someone else will champion welfare or education or doing studies
of drunken goldfish. That is why we have a republic and not a
true democracy. Instead of gridlock on a massive scale, we
only have gridlock on a congressional scale.
BTW, who is to decide 'stupid?' This is just like those who
want to impose their 'morals' on others -- just the sort of
thing I thought Libertarians were against.
Actually, my politics are pretty Libertarian except on this one issue
and this is why it is impossible for me to join the party. It seems
that Libertarians want to withdraw from the rest of the world and
let it sink or swim. We could do that 100 years ago but not now.
Like it or not we are in the beginnings of a global economy and

That is not quite accurate. Otherwise we would have the book

These is a logically invalid *a priori*.
Besides, we are talking about OT texts-

This principle cannot be consistently applied.
I have to reject your argument here. The Spirit speaks with one
voice, and he does not contradict himself.
The ultimate test of canonicity is whether the words are inspired
by the Spirit, i.e., God-breathed. It is a test which is more
guided by faith than by reason or logic. The early church decided
that the Apocrypha did not meet this test--even though some books
such as The Wisdom of Ben Sirach have their uses. For example,
the Lutheran hymn "Now Thank We All Our God" quotes a passage
from this book.
The deutero-canonical books were added much later in the church's
history. They do not have the same spiritual quality as the
rest of Scripture. I do not believe the church that added these
books was guided by the Spirit in so doing. And that is where
this sort of discussion ultimately ends.

You are setting doit to false in the callback, and Text[Field] is beeping

Subject: Cursors
Organization: The Internet
Lines: 19
To: [email protected], [email protected]
According to the OSF/Motif Style Guide, one should use cursor shapes to give
the user a visual clue of what is happening or what is expected of him. So
a "hourglass" cursor should be shown when the application is busy, or a
"caution" cursor should be shown over an area when input is expected in
another. Defining cursors for widgets has to be done at rather low level.
So defining a cursor for all widgets in an application but not for a certain
subpart of it, is a rather complicated matter. When cursors have been defined
for some windows, e.g. a "crosswire" cursor for a DrawingArea, things get even
more complicated. My intuition says that things should be easier, but is this
so? If anyone has a solid and complete solution to my problem, please let me
know. The topics on "busy cursors" in the several FAQ's are not helpful, since
they only work for applications where all windows have the cursor window
attribute set to 'None'.

Great speculation - I remember being proud on behalf of all the free
world (you think that way when you are seven years old) that we had
got there first. Now I'm almost sorry that it worked out that way.
I guess the soviets would have taken the victory seriously too, and
would almost certainly not have fallen victim to the complacency that
overtook the US program. Perhaps stretching to match US efforts would
have destabilized them sooner than it did in fact - and in the tradition
of Marvel Comics 'What If', this destabilization in the Brezhnev era might
have triggered the third world war. Hmm, maybe it was a giant leap after all.

Actuallay I don't, but on the other hand I don't support the idea of having
one newsgroup for every aspect of graphics programming as proposed by Brian,
in his reply to my original posting.
I would suggest a looser structure more like a comp.graphics.programmer,
comp.graphics.hw_and_sw
The reason for making as few groups as possible is for the same reason you
say we shouldn't spilt up, not to get to few postings every day.
I takes to much time to browse through all postings just to find two or
three I'm interested in.
I understand and agree when you say you want all aspects of graphics in one
meeting. I agree to some extension. I see news as a forum to exchange ideas,
help others or to be helped. I think this is difficult to achive if there
are so many different things in one meeting.

I don't know where you live, but I couldn't get out of my driveway
at night without reverse lights. As someone said, out in the country
you notice neat little things like stars and the difference between
day and night. At night around my house (which is amongst a forest of
rather tall oaks) it is DARK, except for nights with full moons.
Reverse lights illuminate my path very well when backing up; I greatly
prefer cars with them to cars without operational reverse lights.
