8,501 | Hi all,
I'm looking for some info regarding an old pcmade by Otronics (or
maybe Oltronics) called the Attache. This little beauty is an 8088
/ Z80 luggable with a 4 or 5 inch screen (monochrome CGA) and 2 360
floppies.
For serial ports it has 2 DB-15 connectors (one is labled 'printer')
and I can't figure out the pinouts for them. I also don't know if they
are standard com ports addressable as COM1 and COM2. I have figured out
that they'll only work with DOS 2.something.
If anyone can give me some pointers on this one, I'd be most
appreciative. Please reply via email, as I can't keep up with news
lately. (Finals are coming up you know :( ) | 3 | trimmed_train |

The Republicans are, in general, fighting any tax increase.
There is also worry that a VAT would be far too easy to increase
incrementally.
(BTW, what is different between Canada's tax and most of
Europe's that makes it "visible?")
This would require a constitutional amendment, and Congress
enjoys raising taxes too much to restrict themselves like that.
(Besides, with the 2/3 majority necessary to pull that off you'd
have a difficult time "forcing" anything like that.)
Primarily because it's a practical impossibility to "freeze"
tax rates.
However, this is something that bothers me. We're always talking
about "consumer confidence" and "consumer spending" as gauges for the
economy. If they really are important, wouldn't shifting taxes to
consumption provide a disincentive to spend money?

6,550 | The Dodgers have been shopping Harris to other teams in their
quest for more left-handed pitching. So far, no takers.
Personally, I think Harris is a defensive liability, and he
has also led the team in past years for hitting into double
plays, or at least been among the leaders.
Sharperson showed last year that if given a chance to play
every day, he can get the job done. If Sharpy played just
one base every day, say third, he'd also improve defensively.
Wallach has helped tremendously on defense, as has Reed.
The improved defense is quite noticeable and is having an
effect on the pitching staff. Both Astacio AND Martinez
were bailed out in recent starts by great defensive plays.
Martinez pitched into the ninth in a game that might
have seen him lifted in the third in past years.
Astacio lasted 7 innings the other day under similar circumstances.
The Dodgers are turning double plays, and keeping more balls
in the infield than last year. And Piazza has also been great
on defense. He has thrown out 10 of 14 batters trying to
steal and has at least one pick off at first.
Wallach, clearly, has contributed to the over all improvement on
defense. But his offense is awful and he has cost the Dodgers
some runs. But I don't think he is as bad as his current average.
I suspect he will come out of this slump much as Davis and Straw
seem to have come out of theirs. | 2 | trimmed_train |

In the meat of his reply, Mr Boundary serves up an excellent example of what
I meant by "There is no way out of the loop". I wrote that human brains "are
infested with sin", and can be trusted only in limited circumstances.
Which just moves the problem back one level: how do you tell if your
conscience is properly formed?
The only way to tell is to presuppose that you are capable of judging the
formed-ness of your own conscience. In other words, you can only be sure
that your conscience is `properly formed' if you assume that your evaluation
can be trusted. Assuming your conclusions saves you a lot of time, I'll
grant, but it's not a valid way of reasoning.
Unless you are infallible, your judgements about your own thinking cannot be
certain. Therefore, it is not possible to be certain your conscience is
`properly formed'. (Whatever that is supposed to mean.)
Mr Boundary then gives another paradigm example of the problem:
The Church is `by necessity' the infallible interpreter of divine revelation?
How do you know? Presumably, you believe this because of some argument or
another -- how do you know that the argument contains no mistakes?
You write:
But there is a huge difference between `confidence in our ability to
distinguish what is true from what is not true' and `infallible'. I am
confident about a lot of things, but absolute certainty is a very long way
from `confident'.
This discussion is about the arrogance of claiming to be absolutely certain
(really, go check the subject line). Saying you are absolutely certain is
significantly different than saying you are confident. When you say that
you are confident, that invites people to ask why.
Except in very limited circumstances, when you say that you are absolutely
certain, it invites people to dismiss you as someone who does not have any
idea of his own fallibility.
I have yet to meet anyone who believed in a knowably-infallible source of
truth who would admit the possibility of errors in his reasoning. All of
them -- every last one -- has claimed that he was himself infallible.
The result has been to convince me that they had no idea what was going on.
Darren F Provine / [email protected]
[This particular discussion may not be entirely relevant to the
original criticism. I get the feeling that the original poster
regarded as arrogant the very idea that there are right and wrong
answers in religion, and that the difference can have eternal
consequences. When I say that I think there is a hell and that he is
at least in significant danger of ending up there, I will admit that
-- as you say -- the reasoning processes I used to reach this are
fallible. Thus at least in principle I could be wrong. But these
basic facts are clearly enough taught in the Bible that I think it's
unlikely that I'm misinterpreting it. (In order to get this level of
confidence, I've tried to frame my statement sufficiently carefully as
to sidestep a number of the more controversial issues. I haven't, for
example said that all non-Christians will definitely end up in hell,
and I haven't attempted to describe hell in any detail.) I have a
feeling that my view is going to be regarded as arrogant and
intolerant even though I acknowledge that I'm fallible and so there's
some chance I'm wrong.
Don't get me wrong -- I think there are a lot of genuinely arrogant
Christians, and often criticism of us is justified. But in at least
some cases I think the criticisms constitute blaming the messenger.
If the universe is set up so that there are eternal consequences for
certain decisions, it's not my fault -- I'm just telling it the way I
think it is. You may think God is immoral for setting things up that
way. It's one of the critiques of Christianity that I find it most
difficult to respond to. But it's not arrogance for me to tell what
I think is the truth. | 0 | trimmed_train |

*nnnnnnnng* Thank you for playing, I cannot agree with this. I believed
this and to put it nicely, it was a piece of junk!
I loved this car, I babied it, I pampered it, and after 2 years, it just
couldn't stay together, I would say that not everyone will have the
problems that I had, but know this, it's not just the car, it is the
ability to get the car fixed, which will NOT happen at any
chrysler/dodge/take your pick dealer. I don't care if there are going to
reform their dealers/service with the intro of the LH cars, I will believe
it when I see it. Case and point, the local dodge dealer. You drive up,
just looking, you don't even get out of your door, when about 10 (yes 10)
salesman all eye you like their next meal, and literally pounce on you,
and try to get you to make a deal, on everything your eye wanders towards.
Service is about 2 times worse than that. I had an alignment problem, but
they tried to tell me that the K frame was bent, and about 2000 dollars of
work/parts to fix it. Let me tell you the problems I had, and I took care
of this car, I put alot of miles on it in the first couple years, but took
it to every checkup it needed, and many that shouldn't have been.

These were replaced within the 4 years that I owned the car.
Engine
4 Alternators
Rear Suspension Torsion Bar
2 Water pumps
5 thermostats
Hall effect sensor
Main computer
4 Batteries
These were rebuilt/repaired
Radiator
Automatic Transmission
Power Steering
Those are just the things I can remember off the top of my head. For
about a year before I sold the car, I said to myself, it's a good car, I
just can't find anybody competent enough the fix it. In the end, before I
traded it in for a Saturn, the power steering started acting up again. I
just stopped putting money into it. I must have put at least $5000-$7000
worth of repairs over it's lifetime. I am sorry but Lee Iacocca can bite
me. Bullshit, whoever backs em best, is just afraid the stupid things are
going to fall apart, and no one will buy them without assurance, why the
hell do you think that LH has been nicknamed Last Hope.
You can do better, and I know people will disagree with me here, but
Japanese, like Honda, or Toyota, or the only american car company that I
feel is a quality product, Saturn. I will not touch another chrysler
product again, no way. I don't care how good the LH cars look good, and I
will admit they look promising, but not with the support that you get. GM
isn't much better, thank god, they don't control Saturn, like they do
their divisions, or it would be just another marketing ploy.
Don't get me wrong, i will be watching my car (which I do like) like a
hawk for the next 4 years. I am much more hesitant to say it (or any) car
is really good, until it has proved itself to me.
But since someone else pointed out C&D as a source. I will note, because
I used to read these magazines, that Car and Driver has never had a good
thing to say about most Chrysler products (Shadow for one), always were
they moaning about the reguritated K-car, and engine. Whereas Motor Trend
always thought they were great cars. No car magazine is really objective.
And although there are alot of people who don't like Consumers Reports, I
will use them to reinforce my argument (I already know about the big stink
with the Saturn crash tests, time will tell how good a car they are), the
shadow/sundance rate much worse than average, in fact none of the
chrysler's rate a better than average, I think the best one is just
average. Excluding the diamond star/mitsubishi stuff and the LH's. You
can find bad stuff about the Shadow. Try as I might, when I researched
the Saturn, I could not find anything bad about it. There is a great deal
of information about this company, just because it is a new american
company and it has created quite a stir in the automotive community, for
good reason. Much more than the introduction of any new model lines of
any established company. I read an article, which had a sub-column, an I
think this imprinted on me more than anything else. Some big wig in
Toyota said and I quote, "We are watching them very closely." Come on,
everybody grow up, the foreign cars, especially the japanese have been
kicking our butts, for good reason, the american car companies could not make
a good product or support the customer the way they want these days, to
set in their ways, which is one of the reasons Saturn was created. They
are still struggling because they haven't learned yet. They have the
ability, the workers are not inferior, the technology is not out of date,
but their attitude is, and they are just finding this out. It's called
competition gentleman/women if you don't satisfy the demand of the
consumer, well your out..

Some other owners on the [email protected] mailing list have commented
about this problem, but I haven't seen it happen on my 3 month old
'93 Probe GT. I think this may be something that Ford has corrected since
the initial batch of cars. Also, someone said that Ford has issued a
service bulletin to inform dealers about how to correct this problem, so you
may be able to get your dealer to fix it.
Haven't seen any of these problems, nor have I seen these mentioned on the
mailing list, so these might just be having bad luck with these.
Definitely!
No problems like these either. I haven't been able to find any obvious
places where they screwed up.
Hmmm! I got two keys with my car. Something tells me you got stiffed by
your dealer on this. (Actually, if you count the "credit card" key that
came in the owner's binder, I got 3 keys, but since the credit card key
doesn't have any teeth cut in it yet, I guess I won't count it. :-))
The latter is probably because of the air bag. It's pretty much takes up
all the space where you'd expect to find the horn.
Speaking of the horn, I was surprised to find that the Probe comes with one
of those nice 'merican sounding horns instead of the Japanese sounding kind.
The previous Probes had Japanese horns.
Yeah, not very badly, but enough to be annoying sometimes.
I agree strongly with all of the above, especially about the engine. The
interior is very, very nice too. Very pleasing to the eye, and ergonomically
sound.
...
Yes, this car's stiff suspension isn't for everyone. I personally like it,
but if you find it a little harsh but otherwise like the car, I'd strongly
suggest looking into the MX-6.
The problem with the back seat is that there's no leg room. Plenty of
head room, though. Shorter people fit back there without any complaints,
so long as the seat they are sitting behind is pulled forward a bit to
give them a place to put their feet.
The power moonroof can greatly improve the ventilation throughout the car. :-)
I really enjoy the moonroof, by the way, but then I've always been a sucker
for open air driving. No leakage problems or anything like that...yet!
I haven't heard about this one. I know that some of the very early Probes
('89 and maybe '90) had problems with prematurely rusting mufflers (which
Ford will replace at no charge), but I haven't heard about anything like
this concerning the '93 Probes.
I haven't had any real trouble with this car outside of a CV joint boot
that was leaking, but the dealer took care of that promptly, and even
gave me a free rental car for the day and a half that I was without my
car. I was quite happy with the way they handled...especially considering
that I was expecting the worst from them!
From what I've heard, it sounds like Ford/Mazda had some QC problems with
the Probe (and probably MX-6) when they first went into production, but
I think these problems have mostly been corrected at this point. That's
almost always to be expected with a completely new car like this, though.
Hope this helps,

7,716 | Hello all,
On my bike I have hazard lights (both front and back turn signals
flash). Since I live in NJ and commute to NYC there are a number of
tolls one must pay on route. Just before arriving at a toll booth I
switch the hazards on. I do thisto warn other motorists that I will
be taking longer than the 2 1/2 seconds to make the transaction.
Taking gloves off, getting money out of coin changer/pocket, making
transaction, putting gloves back on takes a little more time than the
average cager takes to make the same transaction of paying the toll.
I also notice that when I do this cagers tend to get the message and
usually go to another booth.
My question, is this a good/bad thing to do?
Any others tend to do the same?

I was under the impression that to obtain fissionable materials (i.e.,
plutonium or reactor/weapons-grade uranium) one was required to obtain
a federal permit to own such materials.
Actually, why bother looking it up? From the material we covered last
term (in 10 weeks) of Ge/Ch 127 (Nuclear Chemistry), I could *derive*
what it would take to build a bomb. And as far as the explosive charge,
I (as a chemist) could synthesize a variety of explosives from commonly
available chemicals in the garage if I felt like. The electronics
behind the detonator and the shaped charges are a little trickier,
however . . . but not impossible using a few "tricks of the trade."
And if I really wanted to be nasty, I could include a core of
hydrogen and deuterium . . .
Of course, the hardest part is getting the fissionable material
to start with, and living long enough to put a bomb together.
(Plutonium has some *nasty* properties . . .)

6,313 | In 1941, while the Jews were being assembled for their doom in the Nazi
concentration camps, the Nazi Armenians in Germany formed the first
Armenian battalion to fight alongside the Nazis. In 1943, this battalion
had grown into eight battalions of 20,000-strong under the command of Dro
(the butcher) who is the architect of the cold-blooded genocide of 2.5
million Turks and Kurds between 1914-1920. An Armenian National Council
was formed by the notorious Dashnak Party leaders in Berlin, which was
recognized by the Nazis. Encouraged by this, the Armenians summarily
formed a provisional government that endorsed and espoused fully the
principles of the Nazis and declared themselves as the members of the
Aryan super race and full participants to Hitler's policy of extermination
of the Jews.
This Armenian-Nazi conspiracy against the Jews during WWII was an "encore"
performance staged by the Armenians during WWI, when they back-stabbed and
exterminated 2.5 million Turks by colluding with the invading Russian army.

"I had received further very definite information of horrors that
had been committed by the Armenian soldiery in Kars Plain, and as
I had been able to judge of their want of discipline by their
treatment of my own detached parties, I had wired to Tiflis from
Zivin that 'in the interests of humanity the Armenians should not
be left in independent command of the Moslem population, as, their
troops being without discipline and not under effective control,
atrocities were constantly being committed, for which we should
with justice eventually be held to be morally responsible'."

A question for you - can you give me the name of an organization or a
philosophy or a political movement, etc., which has never had anything
evil done in its name? You're missing a central teaching of Christianity -
man is inherently sinful. We are saved through faith by grace. Knowing
that, believing that, does not make us without sin. Furthermore, not all
who consider themselves "christians" are (even those who manage to head
their own "churches"). "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will
enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who
is in heaven." - Matt. 7:21.
Again, what historical documents do you trust? Do you think Hannibal
crossed the Alps? How do you know? How do you know for sure? What
historical documents have stood the scrutiny and the attempts to dis-
credit it as well as the Bible has?
Well, it's really a shame you feel this way. No one can browbeat you
into believing, and those who try will probably only succeed in driving
you further away. You need to ask yourself some difficult questions:
1) is there an afterlife, and if so, does man require salvation to attain
it. If the answer is yes, the next question is 2) how does man attain this
salvation - can he do it on his own as the eastern religions and certain
modern offshoots like the "new age movement" teach or does he require God's
help? 3) If the latter, in what form does - indeed, in what form can such
help come? Needless to say, this discussion could take a lifetime, and for
some people it did comprise their life's writings, so I am hardly in a
position to offer the answers here - merely pointers to what to ask. Few,
of us manage to have an unshaken faith our entire lives (certainly not me).
The spritual life is a difficult journey (if you've never read "A Pilgrim's
Progress," I highly recommend this greatest allegory of the english language).
Now I see by your close that one possible source of trouble for you may be a
conflict between your politcal beliefs and your religious upbringing. You
wrote that "I (in my own faith) accept and live my life by many if not most
of the teachings of christ". Well, Christ referred to God as "My Father",
not "My Mother", and while the "maleness" of God is not the same as the
maleness of those of us humans who possess a Y chromosome, it does not
honor God to refer to Him as female purely to be trendy, non-discriminatory,
or politically correct. This in no way disparages women (nor is it my intent
to do so by my use of the male pronoun to refer to both men and women -
english just does not have a decent neuter set of pronouns). After all, God
chose a woman as his only human partner in bringing Christ into the human
population.
Well, I'm not about to launch into a detailed discussion of
the role of women in Christianity at 1am with only 6 hours of sleep in the
last 63, and for that reason I also apologize for any shortcomings in this
article. I just happened across yours and felt moved to reply. I hope I
may have given you, and anyone else who finds himself in a similar frame of

Well, almost.... If I only had to solve the problem for myself, and were
willing to have to type in a second password (the secret key) whenever I
logged in, it could work. However, I'm trying to create a solution that
anyone can use, and which, once installed, is just as effortless to start up
as the non-solution of just using xhost(1) to control access. I've got
religeous problems with storing secret keys on multiuser computers.
Thanks for the pointer! It was good reading, and I liked the idea of using
several unrelated sources with a strong mixing function. However, unless I
missed something, the only source they suggested (aside from a hardware RNG)
that seems available, and unguessable by an intruder, when a Unix is
fresh-booted, is I/O buffers related to network traffic. I believe my
solution basically uses that strategy, without requiring me to reach into
the kernel.
I heard about this solution, and it sounded good. Then I heard that folks
were experiencing times of 30-60 seconds to run this, on
reasonably-configured workstations. I'm not willing to add that much delay
to someone's login process. My approach (etherfind|compress, skip 10K) takes
a second or two to run. I'm considering writing the be-all and end-all of
solutions, that launches the MD5, and simultaneously tries to suck bits off
the net, and if the net should be sitting __SO__ idle that it can't get 10K
after compression before MD5 finishes, use the MD5. This way I could have
guaranteed good bits, and a deterministic upper bound on login time, and
still have the common case of login take only a couple of extra seconds. | 7 | trimmed_train |

Markus had a good season in MoDo in the Swedish elite league, scoring
22 goals, 17 assists, 39 points and 67 PIM in 39 games.
As Daryl points out, Markus won't be joining the Pens for this year's
playoffs, since the World Championships starts April 18th.
But there is a good chance that Markus will join the Pens before next
season. MoDo, though, naturally wants to keep their superstars Forsberg
and Naslund, so the latest news on this is that MoDo is looking for
personal sponsors for Forsberg and Naslund in order to match the kind
of money they would receive in NHL.
Actually, Swedish coach Curt Lundmark is thinking about leaving two
spots open for additions from eliminated NHLers. It is Mats Sundin and
Calle Johansson that Curt hopes can join the team, although in a late
stage of the tournament. Technically, I seem to recall that you can leave
spots open until 24 hrs before the WC final.

Ahhh, of course. Israeli morality pales in the face of charming events
like the string of PLO-run skyjackings in the mid 80's (remember those
TWA jokes?), and not to forget the Achille Lauro and however many airline
bombings they have committed, not to mention bombings on the streets of
Israel (It's gotten to a point where children are told not to go near any
bags or containers whose origins they don't know, because they could be
bombs), or last weeks Katyusha rocket attack on Northern Israel by Fatah,
those wonderful "mainstream moderates" with whom Israel is attempting
to negotiate.
Let's not forget the fact that more Palestinians are killed by Palestinians
than by Israelis. Ahh yes, those charming humanitarian death squads.
I've actually seen a videotape of an interrogation (DSee the documentary
_Deadly Currents_--very neutral and balanced--seriously)--It was rather
inquisition-esque. essentially, to prove his loyalty to "the cause" of
whichever group it was that was interogating him, he had to turn in someone
else, or else face death in one of the many fun-filled ways that the death-
squads love so much--beatings, dismemberment, acid, pouring melted plastic
on the face of the 'guilty party,' and of course beheading, always my
favorite. Did you catch the photos in the Washington Post a while back
the execution of a "collaborator?" 3 photos:
1) one Palestinian leading another at gunpoint.
2) The "collaborator" on his knees, the gun pointed at his temple.
3) The executioner standing on the corpse of the "collaborator
shouting about how this is what happens to collaborators.

Gawd, I love Windows :-)
You'll probably want to delete any damaged executables and reload them
fresh. Data files should be examined and repaired.
You're not stupid. Smartdrive caches things, and Windows also runs a
swap file which may contain data also. All of this is pretty risky
stuff in a PC environment.
A reasonably accurate prediction...
Here's a brief description of how DOS stores files:
There are three pieces to a file. The directory entry, the FAT chain,
and the data area. You can think of these as a sheet of lined
notebook paper, a sheet of graph paper, and a stack of 3X5 cards.
The directory entry (notebook paper) holds the file name, actual size,
and first cluster number. It also holds some other information that's not
important right now.
The File Allocation Table (FAT) chain (graph paper) tells where to find
the actual data. Each square of graph paper holds a number. If the
number is zero, the cluster associated with this box is available. If it
holds a "magic" number, it is either the last piece of a file or a bad
(unuseable) spot on the disk. Any other number tells which cluster
contains the next section of the file.
The data area (3X5 cards) is where the actual information is stored.
The data area is organized as clusters of a fixed size; storage is
doled out in "chunks" of one cluster each. (In your case, one cluster
is 2048 bytes.) As a cluster is filled, another is allocated.
To read a file, you first look at the directory entry to get the
starting cluster number. Now you read the data from that cluster.
Next, look at the FAT entry for the cluster you just read. This will
tell you the cluster number for the next chunk of the file.
Naturally, these numbers are usually sequential, but they can jump
around and even go backwards. Continue reading, one cluster at a
time, as you walk this chain through the FAT, until you hit the marker
which says it's the last cluster in the file.
CHKDSK is the DOS utility that checks the sanity and coherence of
the directories and the FAT and can bludgeon most flaws into
submission. It doesn't have any intelligence, so you have to
double-check anything it "fixes".
Now let's do a bit of a post-mortem:
All of these files have sizes (according to the FAT) which don't match
the size reported in their directory entries. CHKDSK /F will alter
the directory entries to match the FAT size. (In other words, the
directory entry for CVPIC.EXE may say the file is 64,877 bytes long.
But CHKDSK found a FAT chain of 43 clusters attached to it. (My numbers,
obviously, are made up.))
Disk space was found which is allocated in the FAT, but is not attached
to any directory entry. CHKDSK /F gives you the option of converting these
"lost chains" to files. You can then examine the files (FILE0000.CHK
through FILE0223.CHK) and rename or discard them. Or, if you tell
CHKDSK _not_ to convert them to files, then those clusters will simply
be marked "available" in the FAT.
...
These files are both referencing the _same_ data cluster. Obviously,
one of them (at least) must be wrong. It's interesting to note that
C:\386SPART.PAR is your Windows swap file...
To fix this, you should copy each cross-linked file to a new name.
This will "fix" the cross-link by giving the files unique data spaces.
Now delete the cross-linked files. Examine the copies and try to
assemble them properly. Good luck. (Hint: "Missing pieces" are
likely to be found in those "lost chains" at the top...)
Your disk is pretty close to full. This may be the actual cause of
the problem; perhaps Windows needed to expand its swapfile by an
amount which exceeded available disk space...
In any case, the short summary is that something trashed your FAT.
There are utilities that can mirror your FAT and help repair damage
after something like this, but you have to run them _before_ the
problem occurs. Sorry.

2,906 | Hi,
I am working on gathering data on the way that users use
computers. This involves getting subjects to type and use a
mouse. I want to be able to watch what they are doing without
being in the same room. It would be ideal if I could watch
the session on another monitor without the subjects knowledge.
I believe that spliting the monitor cable will only work for
short distances, ie <5m. I will need to be approx 10m away, as
the cable travels.
The PC's are connected to a TCP\IP network and run Windows 3.1.
Is there any software that will allow me to watch what is
happening on another PC?

IMO, a Christian has no need of weapons. I know it is very contrary to the
American NRA ethos of the right to bear arms, but Christians should rely on
the strength of God to protect them. Note that I say *should*. We are
inherently insecure but I feel that that is not proper justification to be
armed to the teeth. A Christian should not have to rely on physical weapons
to defend himself. A Christian should rely on his faith and intelligence.
For instance, I have the faith that God will protect me but God also gave
me the intelligence to know not to go walking down that dark alley at night.
To jump off a cliff and say that God will save me would be putting God to the
test. And who are we to test God?

10,862 | I am having a problem with the high order bit of a character being
clipped when entered in an xterm window under motif. I have reprogrammed
the F1 key to transmit a <ff> <be> character sequence by using the
following line in .Xdefaults:
~Ctrl ~Shift ~Alt <Key> F1 : string(0xff) string(0xbe) \n\
I merge in this line with xrdb -merge and then create the new xterm
which has the remapped F1 key. The problem that arises is that the
application which is recieving input at the time only sees a <7f> <3e>
sequence, which is <ff> <be> with the high order bit of each
character being filtered or ignored.
When I run xev and press the F1 key, I get the correct value showing
up in the following two key events:
KeyPress event, serial 14, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,
root 0x28, subw 0x0, time 2067815294, (67,80), root:(74,104),
state 0x0, keycode 16 (keysym 0xffbe, F1), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
KeyRelease event, serial 16, synthetic NO, window 0x2800001,
root 0x28, subw 0x0, time 2067815406, (67,80), root:(74,104),
state 0x0, keycode 16 (keysym 0xffbe, F1), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
Notice that the keysym being transmitted is correct; 0xffbe.
But when I use the F1 key while in vi or in a program I wrote to
spit back the hex values of keyboard input, I only get <7f> <3e>.
Does anyone know why the high order bit is being filtered and what
I can do to make sure that the entire 8bits make it through to
the final application? Any help is greatly appreciated.

during the 1930's and 1940's. The Hirgun, and other branch -

Palestine. Yet I fail to see how this Israeli form of
terrorism was better than the terrorism practiced now by the
Arabs. These Jewish terrorist groups killed innocent British
soldiers, but not only thta also killed many Jews who were in
favor of a compromise with the Palestinians. In addition, they
massacred an entire Palestinian village in 1948, contributing
to the exodus of the frightened Palestinians who feared their
very lives.
I mention this not because I'm anti semitic [I'm part
Jewish] but because this self righteousness on the part of the

Palestinians because they were indeed screwed over by the
Jews. It 's a damn shame that the Palestinians had to pay for

Of course, one again faces the question of how one circumscribes government
power (and keeps it circumscribed) in a complex society when it is in the
interest of neither capitalists nor consumers to refrain from using
government power for their own ends. But apart from that little
conundrum...
It would seem that a society with a "failed" government would be an ideal
setting for libertarian ideals to be implemented. Now why do you suppose
that never seems to occur?...
I wouldn't call it "vague." I'd call it elastic. All "regulation" is
not necessarily the same. By opposing all government regulation, some
libertarians treat every system from a command economy to those that
regulate relatively free markets as identical. That's one reason
many of the rest of us find their analysis to be simplistic.

About 25 is correct for Numminen and Lumme.
No, Kurri's points are too low. 27 for Kurri and 28 for Sel{nne.
That's true. Game is so different here in Europe compared to NHL. North-ame-
ricans are better in small rinks and europeans in large rinks. An average
european player from Sweden, Finland, Russian or Tsech/Slovakia is a better
skater and puckhandler than his NHL colleague. Especially defenders in NHL
are mainly slow and clumsy. Sel{nne has also said that in the Finnish Sm-league
game is more based on skill than in NHL. In Finland he couldn't get so many
breakaways because defenders here are an average much better skaters than in
NHL. Also Alpo Suhonen said that in NHL Sel{nne's speed accentuates because
of clumsy defensemen.

I've seen recently on some magazines advertising a ?NEW? Trident
graphics card call 8900CL. The ad said it's new and *faster*. How is it
compare to Tseng ET4000? BTW, which is the fastest *non-accelerated* SVGA
on the market? Any info or benchmark are welcome. Thanks in advance.

There are, but not any that would help Texans: In many states,
such laws have been found to violate the state constitution.
But the federal Second Amendment does not apply directly to the
states. It was written to limit the federal government only.
The Fourteenth Amendment was written to extend the restrictions
of the Bill of Rights to the state level. However, the exact
wording of the Fourteenth Amendment is very vague. The Supreme
Court has been dancing around the issue without facing it
directly for over 100 years. In practice, the Bill of Right
(indirectly applies through the Fourteenth) applies to the
state governments only if the Supreme Court has ruled that
particular provision. The Court has made no such rulings on
the Second Amendment. | 9 | trimmed_train |

4,185 | I've been asked to supply more specific directions
for automated fetching of the source and documentation
for "agrep," the powerful similarity pattern matching tool.
It is at
cs.arizona.edu
192.12.69.5
in directory
/agrep/README
/agrep/agrep-2.04.tar.Z
/agrep/agrep.ps.1.Z
/agrep/agrep.ps.2.Z
(The .ps suffixed files are the optional postscript docs;
a reasonably good research report with benchmarks is
included.)
Note for Macintosh MPW users: after a few hours of drudgery,
I ported the tool to MPW 3.2.3 running under System 7.1.
If you would like me to e-mail a binhexed copy of the tool
suitable for dropping in to your MPW/tools folder, please write...
Other than the more purely cryptographic uses for the tool
I've been having lots of fun picking up the "lost"
references to things I'm interested in. For example,
starting a search like:
agrep -1 -i 'Burning Chrome' cyberpunkspool
immediately finds references like 'burning crome' that I
have always missed before. See how many times John
Gilmore's name is mentioned in the CUD archives
(and how often misspelled). How about _your_ name?
As usual, I will e-mail the uuencoded tar.Z upon request
if you cannot do anonymous FTP.

No, Caleb, it's not the quality of ESPN that I have a problem with;
it is superb, whereas it did not evolve beyond the point where ESPN
left off when hockey went to SC (this is excepting SC's use of feeds
from CBC (-;). It's the amount of hockey they're showing, or lack
of it, that we're complaining about. They had rights to two OT's
that could've been shown on Sunday night after baseball ... and
they had pickup trucks racing through oversized pigpens followed
by Super-8 home movies of old car races (yes, I was checking in
desperation for Canucks-Jets) last night after SportsCenter.

Acorn Replay running on a 25MHz ARM 3 processor (the ARM 3 is about 20% slower
than the ARM 6) does this in software (off a standard CD-ROM). 16 bit colour at
about the same resolution (so what if the computer only has 8 bit colour
support, real-time dithering too...). The 3D0/O is supposed to have a couple of
DSPs - the ARM being used for housekeeping.
A 25MHz ARM 6xx should clock around 20 ARM MIPS, say 18 flat out. Depends
really on the surrounding system and whether you are talking ARM6x or ARM6xx
(the latter has a cache, and so is essential to run at this kind of speed with
slower memory).
I'll stop saying things there 'cos I'll hopefully be working for ARM after
graduation...
Mike
PS Don't pay heed to what reps from Philips say; if the 3D0/O doesn't beat the
pants off 3DI then I'll eat this postscript. | 1 | trimmed_train |

5,974 | Satan was one of God's highest ranking angels, like Uriel, Raphael,
Michael, and Gabriel. In fact, his name was Satanel. He did challenge
God's authority and got kicked out of heaven. A lot of the mythology
of Satan (he lost the -el suffix when he fell) comes from the
Book of Enoch and is not found in the bible.
Read the Book of Enoch, available thru bookstores, or get the book
called "Angels: an endangered species" (I think).

314 | I have some used, but working, parts available for the original IBM
laptop - the PC Convertible. If you have one of these things, and
still are using it, you may have found out that IBM wants OUTRAGEOUS
prices for parts. I built up a supply of enough parts to keep mine
going for a few years, and will be willing to part with the rest.
Basically, I have all the standard parts EXCEPT:
Motherboard
Battery
Power Supply
I've got a few of the accessories, too - just ask.
These are in very limited supply, however. I've basically just cannibalized
a couple of old machines.

11,251 | Forgive me if this is a FAQ (I have checked the list but I cant find it).
I have a problem with the cursor within Xterm on MONO (not grayscale monitors)
The problem is that when I have an character application that displays input
fields in reverse video the Xterm text cursor gets lost on the edge of the
input field.
The solution would appear to be to set the xterm cursor to a line rather
than a block, but how do you do this. I can't find any means although
various sources seem to indicate it can be done.
When the xterm loses the input focus the cursor becomes an outlined block.
This would also be preferable but I can't seem to force this to be the
default either.
Configuration is : Motorola 88K X11R4
Please reply by email if poss.
Thank you

The Bible does tell us that governments are ordained by God (Romans 13).
And furthermore, God foreknows everything that would happen. It is
just to difficult for humans to graps with our limited minds, the
inevitablity of the sucess of God's plan, and this is especially hard to
grasp when we see governemnts doing evil. However, though they are
doing evil (and we should not cooperate with them when they do such), it
must be understood that what happens is what God wanted so as to lead to
the final sucess of His plan to save as many souls from hell as is
possible. In short, the slaughter in Bosnia, though deplorable in the
eyes of God (maybe, then again, they might be getting their just deserts
now rather than later; there are plenty of examples of God killing
people for their sins - Onan in the Old Testmament for example, and
Annias and Spahira in the New) is what he willed to happen so that His
plan might be accomplished.
But don't forget, it is not unbiblical for God to use one nation to
execute His just judgement upon another. The Romans were used to
fulfill the chorus of "Let his blood be upon our hands" of the crowd in
Jersualem. And Chaldea was chastised by Babylon, which got Israel,
which was inturn gotten by Persia, etc. God does use nations to punish
other nations, as the Bible very clearly shows in the Old Testament.
Don't you remember the words of God recorded in Daniel, "Mene, mene,
tekel, peres?" Babylon had been weighed in the balance scales of God's
justice, found severly wanting, and was thus given over to the Persians
as their due punishment for their rebellion. Another exammple is the
extirmination of the Cannanites, ordered by God as the task of Israel.
The Cannanites had been given their chance, found severly wanting, and
the Great Judge, carried out His just sentence accrodingly. I could go
on with more examples, but I see little need to do so, as my point is
quite clear.
Two things need to be remembered at all times. 1) It is not up to us to
question why God has ordered the world as He has. In His divine Wisdom,
He made the world as was best in His eyes, and like Paul says in Romans
9, the clay is not one to tlak back to the potter. 2) The message of
Jesus Christ is as follows: "Repent now, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at
hand." Jesus Christ did not allow any time for dilly-dallying - "Let
the dead bury the dead, come, follow me." There is not an infinite
amount of time, rather Christ is passing by right now, calling people to
follow Him and become fishers of men. He does not say, "well, alright,
you can call me back in a week and see if my Kingdom fits in with your
plans." He said "Follow me." His message is NOT "I'm just a sweety-pie
who would never hurt a fly, you've got all the time in the world, and
Divine Judgement, that's only a fairy tale." "Our great God and Savior"
Jesus Christ (Titus 2.5) is also the just and righteous Judge of the
world. And it is not up to the defendants in the trial to be
questioning his entirely just sentences of either chastisement or mercy. | 0 | trimmed_train |

Ha! "North America Modular SPACE STATION construction" :-)
Same apprach, same reasoning: "construction occurs under assembly
line conditions, no random weather problems interupting site-work
on your home - better quality control" -- sounds like first "-"
point above :-)
Somehow I have a strange attraction for this idea (living in
a modular home maybe has altered my mind). The only thing
that scares me is the part about simply strapping 3 SSME's and
a nosecone on it and "just launching it." I have this vision
of something going terribly wrong with the launch resulting in the
complete loss of the new modular space station (not just a peice of
it as would be the case with staged in-orbit construction).

Since the Mac uses ONLY SCSI-1 for hard drives YES the "figure includes a
hundred $$$ for SCSI drivers" This is sloppy people and DUMB.
Ok once again with the SCSI spec list:
SCSI-1 {with a SCSI-1 controler chip} synchronous range is indeed 0-5MB/s
asynchronous range is slower at 0-3MB/s.
SCSI-1 {With a SCSI-2 controller chip}: 4-6MB/s with 10MB/s burst {8-bit}
Note the INCREASE in SPEED, the Mac Quadra uses this version of SCSI-1
so it DOES exist. Some PCs use this set up too.
SCSI-2 {8-bit/SCSI-1 mode}: 4-6MB/s with 10MB/s burst
{for those who want SCSI-2 but don't want to pay for the 16-bit or 32-bit
hardware or mess with the SCSI-2 software controllers. Usable by SCSI-1
devices with close to 8-bit SCSI-2 speeds}
SCSI-2 {16-bit/wide or fast mode}: 8-12MB/s with 20MB/s burst
SCSI-2 {32-bit/wide AND fast}: 15-20MB/s with 40MB/s burst
On the other interfaces let [email protected] speak:
Again synchronous and asynchronous modes with asynchronous much slower
{Range 0-5MB/s}
One problem is the inconsitant use of the term 'SCSI' in articles and by
people. Its PROPER meaning is "The set of SCSI interfaces composed of
SCSI-1 AND SCSI-2"
Look at the inconsitant use of SCSI in the below quote:
(My comments in {})
PC Magazine April 27, 1993:29 "Although SCSI is twice as fast as ESDI,
{This is asynchronous SCSI-1 with a SCSI-1 chip} 20% faster than IDE..."
{this is BOTH asynchronous SCSI-1 with a SCSI-2 chip AND 8-bit SCSI-2}
To read CONSITANTLY the quote SHOULD read:
{asynchronous SCSI-1 with a SCSI-1 chip}
"Although asynchronous SCSI-1 is twice as fast as ESDI, one third the
speed of IDE..."
or {asynchronous SCSI-1 with a SCSI-2 chip or 8-bit SCSI-2}
"Although SCSI-1 with a SCSI-2 chip and 8-bit SCSI-2 are eight times as fast as
ESDI, 20% faster than IDE..."
NOTE the NONUSE of 'SCSI' by itself. This eliminates ambaguity.
SCSI-1 drivers are somewhat reasonable while 16-bit and 32-bit SCSI-2 drivers
are VERY expansive {8-bit SCSI-2 can use SCSI-1 drivers with little speed
degridation(the Mac Quadra does EXACTLY this.)} | 3 | trimmed_train |
7,387 | I am having something very unusual happen. First
some background on my system. I have a Mitsubishi 63 meg Hard Drive,
and am running Smartdrv (the version that comes with Windows 3.1) on
it. I rarely use Windows. I use a program called Disk Technician
Gold v1.14 to do diagnostics live time on my hard drive. It works by
having a device driver detect whenever more than one read is
necessary for a file, or if there is anything else is wrong with it,
and minor problems are fully checked out upon rebooting. My hard
drive is notorious for bad sectors. I usually end up with 8 new bad
sectors a week.
Here's what happened: I ran a program, and DTG broke in with
an Emergency Warning and recommended I reboot. It gave me this
message twice before the program was fully loaded. I exited the program
and did just this. DTG went through its bootup process, examining
for new errors etc., and a screen popped up and said something about
sectors for a brief period of time.
I then went back to the program, executed it again, and the
exact same error was detected. I rebooted and tried again, and the
same error happened again. So, I removed DTG from memory, and went
to the program to see if I could detect anything wrong. Sure enough
there was a number of read attempts. So I rebooted and reloaded DTG,
but removed the cache. I executed the program. No read errors,
either audible or detected by DTG. I quit the program, loaded the
cache, and ran the program again. The errors were detected.
Ok, so the errors are there, and DTG detects but doesn't fix
them, when the cache is loaded. When the cache is not loaded there are
no errors. So, to see if the cache was interfering with any other
files, I went into xtree gold and tagged all files, and searched them
for a random string (in other words, I wanted the program to
completely read every file on my hard drive). Before I got through
the c's DTG had detected at least six errors and recommended I reboot.
Does anybody, have any idea why Smartdrv is causing misreads on
my hard drive? Oh, there are exactly two misreads per file, and 1 in
about every 100 files are affected.
I originally posted this message to Disk Technician Corp.'s
system, but I figured someone out in netland may know enough about
smartdrv to help me out.

The answer to both questions is yes.
All Scripture is true, being inspired by God. The evidence for this
claim has been discussed ad nauseum in this group.
Similarly, all truth is absolute. Indeed, a non-absolute truth is a
contradiction in terms. When is something absolute? When it is always
true. Obviously, if a "truth" is not always "true" then we have a
contradiction in terms.
Many people claim that there are no absolutes in the world. Such a
statement is terribly self-contradictory. Let me put it to you this
way. If there are no absolutes, shouldn't we conclude that the statement,
"There are no absolutes" is not absolutely true? Obviously, we have a
contradiction here.
This is just one of the reasons why Christians defy the world by claiming
that there are indeed absolutes in the universe.
So? People sometimes disagree about what is true. This does not negate
the fact, however, that there are still absolutes in the universe. Moreover,
evangelical Christianity, at least, still professes to believe in certain
truths. Man is sinful, man needs salvation, and Jesus is the propitiation
for mankind's sins, to name a few. Any group that does not profess to
believe these statements cannot be accurately called evangelical.

does not seem to be much known about the cause of such a problem. My current
episode is pretty bad since it is located in the middle of the cornea. If it's
bad enough, the usual treatment for it is puncture therapy. However, my doctor
this time is trying to let it heal by itself by putting a contact lens to
protect the area. Apparently the problem is not that common, but I'd be curious
if anyone else out there has a similar problem, perhaps to see if a cause can be

Take a second look at "non-toxic, non-flammable":
MACE (sold tothe public) is supposedly nontoxic.
Whatthey do not tell you is that if you get mace directly
on the linings of the lungs (such as a direct snort to
the face) above certain quantities, it reacts similarly
to a mustard gas inhalation.
I know: my father and grandfather were exposed
to poison gas in WWI and WWII; Dad went through
the side effects of any WEAPON, including those
"non-toxic" aerosols.
WHat the label ACTUALLY means is ::
usually, it wont kill you
it may give you permanent CSS asthsma
but that's better than blowing a hole in your
head ...
ALL aerosols are flammable IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH OXYGEN
AND HIT IT WITH THE RIGHT IGNITER. SOme of the most
non-flammable substances known will BOOM or SEARFLAME
if you hit it with the right combo.
Let's take one: a trash can fire. Makes black smoke;
already burned right? Can't go boom, right? Wrong.
Suck that smoke (made up of paper that has carbonized,
or burned about 35% of the fuel in it) into an air
conditioning return, mix with about 5:1 air, and light
a match. 200 feet of conduit is about the same, when
filled with that smoke mixture, as oh, say 200 pounds TNT
THAT is why the fire codes say NO OPEN CEILING
TILES IN BUILDINGS. Because 3-5 stories of
a building have blown OUT by "nonflammable _smoke_"
So:
Take a little "nonflammable aerosol"
Mix with gasoline or kerosene fumes
NO electricity, remeber? A bit of heating
on the WACO plains? Boil water to drink
since the water was cut off?
liberally mix and allow to settle for 1-4 hours
Fumes vent down into the bus underground, and the Davidians
move the children UPSTAIRS to a saferoom (they had one,
armor plated, remember?) to BREATH, because kids get sick
and die from tear gas.
and along comes a tracer, a spark, what have you:
everyone burns to death.

4,698 | There was a recent discussion of Dungeons and Dragons and other role

interest in science fiction. It is a science fiction fanzine with a

arguments about whether D&D is satanic. People who think it is are
not likely to be reading RFT.) Anyway, I am now working on the April

[insert huge deletion of all following material since it had little
relevance to what I've found]
OK. The people before Jesus didn't have Jesus, right (so far, I've
announced that space is a vacuum)? The people who lived during the time
Jesus lived (especially disciples) were taught this: "I tell you the
truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He
will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the
Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may
bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and
I will do it." (John 14:12-14)
So, Jesus asked them to pray for things in his name. Since that time,
the request has been the same, not to ask for intercession from other
beings, but from Jesus. Remember that "there is one God and one
mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as
a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time." (1
Timothy 2:5-6. Also, "there have been many of those priests [talking
about priests among the Hebrews], since death prevented them from
continuing in office; but because Jesus lives forever, he has a
permanent priesthood. Therefore he is able to save completely those who
come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them."
(Hebrews 7:23-25). Hebrews is also full of areas talking about Jesus
being our mediator rather than any other man.

So after I've flashed my lights at the chap in front and he doesn't
'pass it on' (and few if any do), what next? On major highways, 3 or more
lanes in each direction, keeping to the extreme right blocks folks who
are entering. Also, as someone posted in this thread, here in the D.C.
area we have a few left lane exits (sounds like 66). If you wait until
the last minute to get in the left lane you won't, cause these yoyos
won't make room.
We have a particularly bad strech here in Merryland just over the Cabin
John bridge. There are two very long entry ramps which all the hurry-up
yahoos dive into cause they want to get ahead. When we get to the point
where these ramps merge, all hell breaks lose. The result is that traffic
which was moving at 55 on the VA side of the bridge, stalls on t'other
side. If these dingbats had stayed in lane, allowed the folks coming up
the two ramps to merge, we would still be doing 55. Instead we do start-
stop for 4 miles. Dave Barry's idea of a laser equipped car would be
real useful here.

We had those f*****g photo-radar things here in Sweden a while ago.
There was a lot of fuzz about them, and a lot of sabotage too (a spray-can
with touch-up paint can do a lot of good...).
Eventually they had to drop the idea as there were a lot of court-cases
where the owner of the car could prove he didn't drive it at the time
of speeding.
I especially recall a case where it eventually proved to be a car-thief that
had stolen a car and made false plates. He, ofcourse, chose a license number
of a identical car, so the photo seemed correct...

4,313 | Pardon me if this is the wrong newsgroup. I would describe myself as
an agnostic, in so far as I'm sure there is no single, universal
supreme being, but if there is one and it is just, we will surely be
judged on whether we lived good lives, striving to achieve that
goodness that is within the power of each of us. Now, the
complication is that one of my best friends has become very
fundamentalist. That would normally be a non-issue with me, but he
feels it is his responsibility to proselytize me (which I guess it is,
according to his faith). This is a great strain to our friendship. I
would have no problem if the subject didn't come up, but when it does,
the discussion quickly begins to offend both of us: he is offended
because I call into question his bedrock beliefs; I am offended by
what I feel is a subscription to superstition, rationalized by such
circular arguments as 'the Bible is God's word because He tells us in
the Bible that it is so.' So my question is, how can I convince him
that this is a subject better left undiscussed, so we can preserve
what is (in all areas other than religious beliefs) a great
friendship? How do I convince him that I am 'beyond saving' so he
won't try? Thanks for any advice.
