certain parts of a space station that is built and designed and such by a
commerical company or consortium of companies (such as like Alyeska) for a
small amount of rent in return for certain incentives and such.. Such as tax
and other right off and also a monopoly on certain products.. The commerical
builders would have certain perks given to them to make there end easier (taxes
, contracts, regulatory concesions and such..)
Is it workable, just might work..

1,701 | I've been running Dos 6 for about a month. I was generally impressed with
the improvements: the multiple boot configurations were great, the
new commands were nice, and DoubleSpace worked fine (twice as slow for
large data transfers, twice as fast for small with SmartDrv).
Until now.
This morning at 4 am while I was working on my research paper, I had to
reboot a hung Dos program (that did no disk i/o) from within Windows 3.1.
When my machine finished rebooting, I found my windows directory and about two
thirds of my other directories were irreversibly corrupted.
I cannot afford problems like this. I'm returning to Dos 5.

The answer to your first question is rather difficult to answer without
doing a lot of autopsies. The second question is something that's been
known for some time. It appears that within about 15 years of quitting
smoking a person's risk for developing lung cancer drops to that of the
person who never smoked (assuming you do not get lung cancer in the
interim!). The risk to someone who smoked the equivalent of a pack per
day for 40 years is around 20 times as high as a non-smoker. Still
rather low overall, but significant. Personally, I'd be more concerned
about heart disease secondary to smoking -- it's much more common, and
even a small increase in risk is significant there.

I assume you have evidence that he was responsible for the deaths?
Again, I'd like to see some evidence.
Once again, where's your proof? Suicide is considered a sin by Branch
Davidians. Also, Koresh said over and over again that he was not going to
commit suicide. Furthermore, all the cult experts said that he was not
suicidal. David Thibedeau (sp?), one of the cult members, said that the fire
was started when one of the tanks spraying the tear gas into the facilities
knocked over a lantern.
Evidence please?
I'd like to point out that the Bible says "Do not commit murder." The NKJ
translation mistranslates. Self-defense was never considered murder. The
reason why they were stockpiling weapons is because they were afraid the
government would try something. Their fears were obviously well founded.

Look how long the Maple Leafs and Nordiques used similar logic.... Not that
they fielded bad teams solely to field bad teams, but the Maple Leafs (and a
certain dead man who was in charge) were one of the cheapest teams in the
history of the sport. Guess what-- they were immensely popular at the
gate. The Nordiques have also done well for a team that had missed the
playoffs so many years in a row.
Ha! Such humor! They have MAJOR fan problems, namely that on occasion some of

This algorithm works well for me:
Algorithm to attempt to find outward-facing normals:
---------------------------------------------------
First, mark all faces as UNKNOWN.
Then create an edge dictionary that allows you to find all of the
faces sharing a given edge (where an edge is two integers representing
the two shared vertices).
Pick an arbitrary face and mark it COUNTER_CLOCKWISE. Using the edge
dictionary, orient all surrounding faces based on the orientation of
this face. And recurse for all surrounding faces, consistently
orienting the entire surface.
Find the average of the vertices in this surface. Using that point,
calculate a volume measurement, taking into account the face's
orientation. If the volume turns out to be positive, assume the faces
are oriented correctly. If it is negative, reverse their orientations
(mark them CLOCKWISE).
If any faces are still UNKNOWN after this, choose another face
and go through the algorithm again.
At the end, faces marked CLOCKWISE must have their indices reversed
before facet normals are found.
(Note: if you are running on Silicon Graphics machines and buy the
IRIS Inventor 3D toolkit developers package you have the source to
this algorithm-- see /usr/src/Inventor/tools/ivnorm/. If you're
not... sorry, I can't give out the source, and even if I could it
relies heavily on Inventor). | 1 | trimmed_train |

On of the attributes of being sacred in this case is that they
should not be spoken of in a "common manner" or "trampled under
feet" such as the Lords name is today. The ceremonies are
performed in the temple because the temple has been set aside
as being as sacred/holy/uncommon place. We believe that the
ceremonies can only be interpreted correctly when they
are viewed with the right spirit- which in this case is in the
temple. So from our point of view, when they are brought
out into the public, they are being trampled under feet,
because of misinterpretations and mocking, and it is therefore
offensive to us.
Please do not assume that because of my use of the words
'we' and 'our' that I'm an official spokesman for the LDS

11,207 | Excerpts from netnews.alt.atheism: 15-Apr-93 Re: thoughts on christians
by Dave [email protected]
I think it'd help if we got a couple good atheists (or even some good,
steadfast agnostics) in some high political offices. When was the last
time we had an (openly) atheist president? Have we ever? (I don't
actually know; these aren't rhetorical questions.) How 'bout some
Supreme court justices?
One thing that really ticked me off a while ago was an ad for a news
program on a local station...The promo said something like "Who are
these cults, and why do they prey on the young?" Ahem. EVER HEAR OF
BAPTISM AT BIRTH? If that isn't preying on the young, I don't know what
is...
I used to be (ack, barf) a Catholic, and was even confirmed...Shortly
thereafter I decided it was a load of BS. My mom, who really insisted
that I continue to go to church, felt it was her duty (!) to bring me up
as a believer! That was one of the more presumptuous things I've heard
in my life. I suggested we go talk to the priest, and she agreed. The
priest was amazingly cool about it...He basically said that if I didn't
believe it, there was no good in forcing it on me. Actually, I guess he
wasn't amazingly cool about it--His response is what you'd hope for
(indeed, expect) from a human being. I s'pose I just _didn't_ expect
it...
I find it absurd that religion exists; Yet, I can also see its
usefulness to people. Facing up to the fact that you're just going to
be worm food in a few decades, and that there isn't some cosmic purpose
to humanity and the universe, can be pretty difficult for some people.
Having a readily-available, pre-digested solution to this is pretty
attractive, if you're either a) gullible enough, b) willing to suspend
your reasoning abilities for the piece of mind, or c) have had the stuff
rammed down your throat for as long as you can remember. Religion in
general provides a nice patch for some human weaknesses; Organized
religion provides a nice way to keep a population under control.
Blech.

If it has already been posted, I apologize.
It seems that during the Middle Ages, it was customary for pastors to
explain the Trinity to their parishoners by analogy to water.
Water is water, but can exist in three forms--liquid, ice and vapor.
Thus it is possible for one essence to exist in three forms.
And recently, the pastor of my church drew an analogy, which I
also found useful--A woman is often percieved by others in three
ways, depending on their relationship to her--a mother, a wife and
an employee in a business.
Thus, it seems clear to me that the essence of God can subsist in
the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit or, depending on one's particular

section says Apple 14" and 16" monitors can go on top, but 21" and other
big ones can't. Why couldn't they publish a maximum load?

A similar thing happend to me a year ago. I bought a used Ford Bronco

and took delivery, they sent a letter telling me they goofed and
miscalculated the license renewal by $300 and that I need to send
in a check to "avoid further delay" in the processing of my registration.
The thing is, I had already received the pink slip from the DMV, so
I ignored it. I received another letter and then the phone calls
started coming. First from the finance guy and then from the general
manager, both hounding me for the extra money. They left me alone
once I told them I already had the paperwork and pointed out the clause
in the contract that stated that the final price was just that: FINAL.

to call again and that I would not do business with them in the future.

I called Apple to make sure and they told me (today) that the IWII (as bought
in the U.S.) will definitely run on 50 Hz AC current (as long as a step-down
converter is employed if 240 V current is used). The same info, turns out, can
be found in the IWII manual (p. 127 in the 1989 version), but I didn't really

So, like, what do you do during those six months to be "active?"
My town has a similar requirement, and it's rather stupid. Before
you can buy a handgun, you have to be an active member of a gun club.
Well, how active can you be without a gun, chief?
Most gun owners feel a check of criminal records for crimes and mental
disorders would be a very good thing -- IF it couldn't be abused by the
government. But every time this is proposed, there is always some
trapdoor by which the government can deny your purchase EVEN IF you
are perfectly qualified to own a gun. And we oppose this.
Since the fatal accident rate for licensed automobile drivers in the US
is around 50 times the fatal accident rate of largely unlicensed gun
owners, I'd think twice before using this analogy.
Besides, the problem is criminal use of guns, not accidents. (There
are about 500,000 criminal uses of guns in the US every year -- but
only 1,400 accidents.) I don't think it's necessary to spend a lot
of energy making sure a criminal CAN shoot a gun before he gets one.
Just like the check, most gun owners feel positively about requiring
safety courses -- IF they couldn't be abused by the government. But
they already have! One state doesn't hold the courses, another doesn't
fund them, a third holds them only once a year with limited attendence
to those with political connections. Is this fair?
And how many of them acquire these guns from legal retail outlets?
How many are borrowed, stolen, smuggled, bought on the black market?
Some states allow ONLY open carry. Some allow ONLY concealed carry.
Some allow both. Some allow both, but require licenses for concealed
carry. All you can say is if one of these modes has a clear advantage
over another in terms of reducing crime or any other public good,
then state legislators SOMEPLACE are doing exactly the wrong thing.
Which means that they really don't have any objective reasons for
these laws other than their preferences -- a bad way to govern.
("Hot-livered." I LOVE that expression. Here, we say "hot-headed.")
Typically, the only criminals who can affect the rights of ALL the other
people are criminals in government offices. The rest of our criminals
affect the rights of only one or a few people at a time, and they do this
during the commission of a crime. POSSESSION of a gun by someone hurts
NO ONE else. It is when they do something violent with that gun that
the crime occurs. Of course, it is a crime for a felon or ex-felon to
possess a gun, but we don't feel it is right to treat common citizens
who have lived good lives as if they were just "pre-felons" waiting to
commit crimes.
I don't understand this sentence.
Life isn't fair. I shouldn't need a fire extinguisher either, or
flood and theft insurance, or to lock the doors of my house and car.
But pining for a better world won't do anything to address what I have
to do to live in this one.
None of ours, I'm sure.
Frankly, I'm not sure I know what good a driver's license does anyone,
either. The people who drive safely never use it, and the people who
drive drunk, drive without it!
However, a car is a good tool, but not one that protects my right to life.
I rank the right to life somewhere north of the right to travel freely.
The question is not whether or not you want to own guns personally. It's
whether or not you think that ALL people should be forced to do as you do.
I don't have any problem with someone who says they would never own a gun.
I do have a problem with someone who says I should be prevented from owning
one, too.

Definitions:
z = the tilt of the axis of the planet away from the normal to its
orbital plane. In case of the Earth z is about 23.5 degrees, I think.
I do not recall the exact value. In case of Uranus, z is almost
90 degrees.
u = latitude of the location where the length of the day is measured.
Paris is at about 45 degrees. North pole is at 90.
a = angular position of the planet around the sun. As a goes from
0 to 360 degrees, the planet makes a full circle around the sun.
The spring equinox occurs at a=0.
L = daylight fraction = (duration of daylight)/(duration of a full day).
On the equator (u=0) L is always 1/2. Near the north pole (u=90 degrees)
L is sometimes one and sometimes zero, depending on the time of the year.
Computation:
Define the auxiliary angles p and q by:
sin p = sin a sin z
cos q = h ( tan u tan p ), (0 < q < 180 degrees)
Conclusion:
L = q / 180 (if q is measured in degrees)
L = q / pi (if q is measured in radians)
Wait! But what is h?
The cutoff function h is defined as follows:
h (s) = s if |s| < 1
= 1 if s > 1
= -1 if s < 1
As an interesting exercise, plot L versus a. The graph will shows
how the length of the daylight varies with the time of the year.
Experiment with various choices of latitudes and tilt angles.
Compare the behavior of the function at locations above and below
the arctic circle.

This seems a strange argument to make considering that Canada's
violent crime rate in general is far lower than that of the U.S. (Our
non-gun crime rate is greater than their *entire* crime rate). It
would seem strange to suggest that it, to, were the result of gun
control laws.
I think if we looked we'd find very specific (cultural and
enforcement) reasons why the non-gun rate is low as well, and then
that reasons could be applied to the with-gun rates as easily.
Aside from the fact that I find the idea of being punished
because somebody might steal something from me and go and commit a
crime with it a silly solution, it still doesn't address the
question of Canada. (Which is now, by the way, blaming their rising
gun-crime rate on the U.S. Strange that the border used to "magically"
keep the guns out, but now isn't.)
The other side of the coin, of course, is that far "illegal drugs"
are purchases legally or stolen from people who purchase them legally.
I've still not been convinced that guns, a commodity which criminals
have shown their perfectly willing to pay for from illegal sources
(stolen either from police, military, or civilian) we wouldn't simply
see South American sources from which drugs come start smuggling guns as
well, since there's a thriving gun manufacturing industry down there.
And as was not pointed out in the study, but in critiques
of it, (two seperate articles by James Wright and David Kopel come
to mind) it was pointed out that the difference was *also* almost
entirely minority related. That is, the gun crime rate skyrocketed
for poor minorities (Blacks and Hispanics primarily) while when you
compared the white majority they were virutally identical.
The problem with the NEJM study was they compared minority vs.
non-minority percentages but failed to take into account the relative
conditions of those minorities. That there was an eqaul percentage of
nomn-whites was about as far as they went. They failed to take into
account that the non-whites in either city were not living in the
same conditions.
If the situation was entirely based on availability of guns,
then we'd expect that the white rates, the two groups which are
arguably fairly comparative in the two cities, would have a far
higher rate in Seattle. Yet the majority in Seattle is not only
not significantly higher when the minorities are excluded, but slightly
lower.
The point is, of course, that many of the U.S. "inner-city"
problems are not mirrored in Canada. As such if there is a condition
which is significantly different in Canada from the U.S., and violent
crime is highly correlated to that area, suggesting that gun control
is the source of Canada's low rate is highly questionable. (As one
Canadian pointed out on talk.politics.guns, Canada's major gun control
in 1978 did not result in either a reduction or a slowing of an increase
in violent crime rates, which have been rising steadily since. Apparently
they didn't even mirror the U.S.s very large drop of violent crime in
the early eighties.
True only to a certain extent. Take Washington D.C., where
gun control was instituted while it had crime problems true, but that
crime proceeded to explode afterwards. Similarly for New York.
The question is not simply a point in time where crime was high
or low. Did the gun control significantly and positively impact
violent crime. Since it's gone up in those areas, often faster than it
was going up before, you can't simply dismiss the high crime rate by
saying gun control was caused by it. Yes, gun control may be instituted
to deal with high crime. But if the crime is not positively impacted, you
can't continually say that that crime rate was entirely a cause of
that gun control, since much of that crime rate increased after gun control
was implemented, just as happened in Canada.
As would be expected if violent crime was generally independent
of gun control.
Would this be the laws which made manufacturers liable for what
others did with their guns, and suddenly the police found nobody would
sell to them? | 13 | trimmed_train |

You'll have fun looking for the rear-end gears on an SHO--the Taurus
is a front-wheel-drive vehicle...
I went back and checked the article again; The SHO Wagon is quicker
than the SHO automatic, but significantly slower than the REAL SHO.
Why anyone would order an SHO with an automatic transmission is
beyond me; if you can't handle a stick, you should stick with a
regular Taurus and leave the SHO to real drivers. That is not to
say that there aren't real drivers who can't use the stick (eg
disabled persons), but they aren't in any position to use an
SHO anyway.
I would be willing to bet that if we removed the automatic
transmissions from all "performance-type" cars (like the 5.0l
Mustangs, Camaros, and the like) we'd cut down on the number of
accidents each year. Autos are fine for sedate little sedans,
but they have no business in performance cars, IMHO.

3,952 | Several recent posts have identified the English word 'Easter' with
the Babylonian goddess 'Ishtar'.
'Easter' is a pagan word all right, but it has nothing to do with Ishtar.
If 'Easter' and 'Ishtar' were related, their history would show it.
But in Old English, Easter was 'Eostre', cognate with English 'East'
and German 'Ost'. The reconstructed Proto-Germanic form is 'Austron'.
Not until after 1400 did 'Easter' have a high front vowel like 'Ishtar'.
Clearly, the two words have quite separate origins.
There may be neo-pagans who worship Ishtar at Easter, but if so, they
are making either a mistake of etymology, or a deliberate play on words.

No one else seems to know, so I'll post this.
This topic came up on sci.physics.fusion shortly after the cold-fusion
flap started. As I recall, its been done to some experimental mice.
They showed various ill effects and eventually died. The reason is
that deuterium does not have exactly the same reaction rates as
hydrogen due to its extra mass (which causes lower velocity, Boltzman
constant, mumble). This throws various bits of body biochemistry out
of kilter, and you get sick and die.
I've never heard of anyone being poisened this way, in or out of real
life. The process takes quite a while. If anyone wants to write this
book, I would imagine you would have to:
1: Replace a significant fraction of the water in the body with heavy
water.
2: Wait while normal breakdown and repair processes cause other
molecules in the body to be synthesised using the deuterium.
During this process the victim would gradually deteriorate and
eventually die, but I imagine it would take weeks during which the
poisoner would have to ensure that a significant proportion of the
water the victim ingested was heavy.
You would get such a mess of symptoms that the doctors would be both
alarmed and confused. Why should every organ in the body suddenly
begin to deteriorate? If you can figure out how the poisoner gets the
heavy water into the victim in a hospital then you could have a real
story here.
Come to think of it, <2> would continue even after the heavy water was
no longer being ingested, so hospitalisation might be too late.
The most detectable effect would be that the victim's body fluids
would literally be "heavy". Water has a molecular weight of 18 and
heavy water has a MW of 20. Thus the victim's weight will increase by
about 1% for every 10% of body water replaced by heavy water. Maybe
the detection occurs because some pathologist in the lab notices that
the victim's urine is strangely dense. Is there any medical test
involving the specific gravity of a body fluid?

3,340 | 4/15/93 1242 Turkey sends light weapons as aid to Azerbaijan
By SEVA ULMAN
ANKARA, Turkey (UPI) -- Turkey is arming Azerbaijan with light weapons to help
it fight Armenian forces in the struggle for the Nagorno- Karabakh enclave,
the newspaper Hurriyet said Thursday.
Deputy Prime Minister Erdal Inonu told reporters in Ankara that Turkey was
responding positively to a request from Azerbaijan for assistance.
"We are giving a positive response to all requests" from Azerbaijan, "within
the limits of our capabilities," he said.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Vural Valkan declined to elaborate on the nature
of the aid being sent to Azerbaijan, but said they were within the framework
of the Council for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
Hurriyet, published in Istanbul, said Turkey was sending light weapons to
Azerbaijan, including rockets, rocket launchers and ammunition.
Ankara began sending the hardware after a visit to Turkey last week by a
high-ranking Azerbaijani official. Turkey has however ruled out, for the second
time in one week, that it would intervene militarily in Azerbaijan.
Wednesday, Inonu told reporters Ankara would not allow Azerbaijan to suffer
defeat at the hands of the Armenians. "We feel ourselves bound to help
Azerbaijan, but I am not in a position right now to tell you what form (that)
help may take in the future," he said.
He said Turkish aid to Azerbaijan was continuing, "and the whole world knows
about it."
Prime Minister Suleyman Demirel reiterated that Turkey would not get
militarily involved in the conflict. Foreign policy decisions could not be
based on street-level excitement, he said.
There was no immediate reaction in Ankara to regional reports, based on
Armenian sources in Yerevan, saying Turkish pilots and other officers were
captured when they were shot down flying Azerbaijani warplanes and
helicopters.
The newspaper Cumhuriyet said Turkish troops were digging in along the border
with Armenia, but military sources denied reports based on claims by local
people that gunfire was heard along the border. No military action has
occurred, the sources said.
The latest upsurge in fighting between the Armenians and Azerbaijanis flared
early this month when Armenian forces seized the town of Kelbajar and later
positioned themselves outside Fizuli, near the Iranian border.

No, you have completely misunderstood. I was opposed to intervention in
Somalia for the same reason I am opposed to intervention in Bosnia - there is
no security interest of the United States there which justifies risking the
lives of American servicemen, and there are too many crises in the world for us
to take on all of them. In the case of Bosnia, the risks are obviously much
greater, and there are other countries in a much better position and with far
better reasons to take action than the US.
You continue to misunderstand. I did not say the reason why people want to
intervene is because of racist (<- you seem to be overly fond of using this
word, btw. I said the phenomenon was race-related, which is not the same as
racist. Perhaps this distinction is too subtle for you to grasp) motives - I
said the attention and outrage at the entire Yugoslavian situation was a result
of it being 1) closer to home, 2) happening to people we can identify with, and
3) relentlessly harped on by the media. I never said anything about which side
would be preferred, which has a lot more to do with the presentation of the
conflict than any psychological factors. I think there is no doubt that despite
the fact we intervened in Somalia, the level of attention devoted to there was
considerably less than what is devoted to Bosnia, if the newspapers and tv news
I see are any guide.

I'd wear the full facer, but then, I'd be *way* more worried

Well, my next helmet will be, subject to it fitting well, an AGV

a Shoei task5, and it's getting a little old, and I crashed in

I don't know anything specifically, but I have one further anecdote. A
colleague of mine had a child with a serious congenital disease, tuberous
sclerosis. Along with mental retardation comes a serious seizure disorder.
The parents noticed that one thing that would precipitate a seizure was
a meal with corn in it. I have always wondered about the connection, and
further about other dietary ingredients that might precipitate seizures.
Other experiences would be interesting to hear about from netters.

than the Sen-sens, so I have a hunch this is why Ottawa would pick
first..... | 17 | trimmed_train |
