8,942 | I posted about this a while ago but without code excerpts noone was
able to help me.
The problem is that main_win.win is doing fine, but when I create
detail_win.win, it does not receive it's initial expose events until
main_win.win receives an event. Here are the relevent calls:
main_win.win = XCreateSimpleWindow (mydisplay, DefaultRootWindow(mydisplay),
myhint.x, myhint.y, myhint.width, myhint.height,
main_win.line_thick, fg, bg);
XSetStandardProperties(mydisplay, main_win.win, main_win.text,
main_win.text, None, argv, argc, &myhint);
main_win.gc = XCreateGC (mydisplay, main_win.win, 0, 0);
XMapRaised (mydisplay, detail_win.win);
XMapSubwindows (mydisplay, main_win.win);
The event mask for main_win is:
PPosition | PSize | StructureNotifyMask | ExposureMask| KeyPressMask |
EnterWindowMask | LeaveWindowMask;
The flags are
PPosition | PSize
I then create detail_win.win with the following calls (hints has new values):
detail_win.win = XCreateSimpleWindow (mydisplay, DefaultRootWindow(mydisplay),
myhint.x, myhint.y, myhint.width, myhint.height,
detail_win.line_thick, fg, bg);
XSetStandardProperties(mydisplay, main_win.win, detail_win.text,
detail_win.text, None, argv, argc, &myhint);
detail_win.gc = XCreateGC (mydisplay, detail_win.win, 0, 0);
XMapRaised (mydisplay, detail_win.win);
Event Mask and flags are identical to main_win's flags and event mask.
If anybody has any idea why the initial expose events of detail_win.win
are not received until main_win.win receives an event I'd love to hear
from them. Other that that everything works great so there must be some
detail I'm overseeing.
Thanks for any tips

(the 3DO is not a 68000!!!)
[snip]
The 3DO box is based on an ARM RISC processor, one or two custom graphics
chips, a DSP, a double-speed CDROM, and 2MB of RAM/VRAM. (I'm a little
fuzzy on the breakdown of the graphics chips and RAM/VRAM capacity).
It was demonstrated at a recent gathering at the Electronic Cafe in
Santa Monica, CA. From 3DO, RJ Mical (of Amiga/Lynx fame) and Hal
Josephson (sp?) were there to talk about the machine and their plan. We
got to see the unit displaying full-screen movies using the CompactVideo codec
(which was nice, very little blockiness showing clips from Jaws and Backdraft)
... and a very high frame rate to boot (like 30fps).
Note however that the 3DO's screen resolution is 320x240.
CompactVideo is pretty amazing... I also wanted to point out that QuickTime
does indeed slow down when one dynamically resizes material as was stated
above... I'm sure if the material had been compressed at the large size
then it would play back fine (I have a Q950 and do this quite a bit). The
price of generality... personally I don't use the dynamic sizing of movies
often, if ever. But playing back stuff at its original size is plenty quick
on the latest 040 machines.
I'm not sure how a Centris/20MHz 040 stacks up against the 25 MHz ARM in
the 3DO box. Obviously the ARM is faster, but how much? | 1 | trimmed_train |

OK, the Mets and O's are good examples, but what about the '90 Reds? Do you
really think that anyone expected them to sweep the A's? I know people who
didn't even think they'd win a game, let alone win the Series. We proved
them wrong, though, didn't we?
As for this year, ignore their record now. They've had a rocky start, and
that has nothing to do with Colorado. They shall rise again. The hunt for
a Reds' October continues. (with all due respect to WLW) Bye.

Hmmm... Sounds vaguely similar to a problem I had a long time ago when I was
trying to use Kermit. I was building a serial connection between my Duo 210
and my NeXT. I think the problem was in the handshaking. Basically, you need
to make sure that the handshaking protocol is the same on both sides. A safe
place to start is by selecting NO handshaking on either end. One problem is
that the Zilog serial chip seems to get permanently wedged if you talk to it
wrong, and only a reset will clear it. I don't know the specifics. But this
could be a nonlinearity that screws up your attempts at debugging the system.
It could very well be that you are doing things right--eventually-- but one
wrong move (like trying a bad handshaking protocol) can screw up any further
correct actions, until the next machine reset. I have wedged my Mac and also
my NeXT that way.
Now I can send files back and forth between the Duo and the NeXT without any
problem, and at pretty high speeds too.
I don't know what kind of chip the PC uses, but I think the Zilog 8530 is
pretty standard. | 14 | trimmed_train |
5,004 | (Dean and I write lots and lots about absolute truth and arrogance.)
I agree that we'll probably never agree, and I'm starting to feel
frustrated, and I'm tired of having my conversations with my husband
dominated by this topic (just kidding, :-)).
I do have to say, though, that participating in this discussion has been
a good learning experience for me. My views on this topic have evolved
and clarified through this, and I suspect that we may not disagree as
much as we think.
I admit that I'm strongly prejudiced against evangelical Christianity,
and I may not always be rational in my reactions to it. I grew up
in EC, and went to an EC college. It was definitely the wrong place
for me, and I react strongly to any implication that EC or conservative
Christianity has any sort of stronghold on true Christianity. I shudder
when I remember the condescending attitude I had about other Christians
who didn't adhere to the EC model.
I have come to see that my real objection to this whole notion of
absolute truth is the actions I have seen it lead to. I have had some
very bad experiences with evangelical Christians claiming to know the
truth, and judging me or others based on their belief that they have
the answers. Knowing the truth doesn't seem to leave a whole lot of
room for others' opinions.
I can accept your belief in absolute truth as long as you* don't try to
use that belief to try to force others to comply with it, and you are
very careful that you don't hurt others with it. Love your neighbor
seems to go totally out the window when one knows the truth and believes
that everyone should be living by that truth. Other people have
convictions about the truth every bit as strong and sincere as yours,
based on careful searching, prayer, and their relationship with God.
Don't dismiss them because God didn't lead them to the same conclusions
as yours.

President Clinton's Remarks On Waco With Q/A
To: National Desk
Contact: White House Office of the Press Secretary, 202-456-2100
WASHINGTON, April 20 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Following are
remarks by President Clinton in a question and answer session
with the press (Part 2 of 2):
Go ahead, Sarah.
Q There are two questions I want to ask you. The
first is, I think that they knew very well that the children did not
have gas masks while the adults did, so the children had no chance
because this gas was very -- she said it was not lethal, but it was
very dangerous to the children and they could not have survived
without gas masks. And on February 28th -- let's go back -- didn't
those people have a right to practice their religion?
THE PRESIDENT: They were not just practicing their
religion, they were -- the Treasury Department believed that they had
violated federal laws, any number of them.
Q What federal laws --
THE PRESIDENT: Let me go back and answer -- I can't
answer the question about the gas masks, except to tell you that the
whole purpose of using the tear gas was that it had been tested; they
were convinced that it wouldn't kill either a child or an adult but
it would force anybody that breathed it to run outside. And one of
the things that I've heard -- I don't want to get into the details of
this because I don't know -- but one of the things that they were
speculating about today was that the wind was blowing so fast that
the windows might have been opened and some of the gas might have
escaped and that may be why it didn't have the desired effect.
They also knew, Sarah, that there was an underground
compound -- a bus buried underground where the children could be
sent. And they were -- I think they were hoping very much that if
the children were not released immediately outside that the humane
thing would be done and that the children would be sent someplace
where they could be protected.
In terms of the gas masks themselves, I learned
yesterday -- I did not ask this fact question before -- that the gas
was supposed to stay active in the compound longer than the gas masks
themselves were to work. So that it was thought that even if they
all had gas masks, that eventually the gas would force them out in a
nonviolent, nonshooting circumstance.
MS. MYERS: Last question.
Q Mr. President, why are you still saying that --
Q Could you tell us whether or not you ever asked
Janet Reno about the possibility of a mass suicide? And when you
learned about the actual fire and explosion what went through your
mind during those horrendous moments?
THE PRESIDENT: What I asked Janet Reno is if they had
considered all the worse things that could happen. And she said --
and, of course, the whole issue of suicide had been raised in the
public -- he had -- that had been debated anyway. And she said that
the people who were most knowledgeable about these kinds of issues
concluded that there was no greater risk of that now than there would
be tomorrow or the next day or the day after that or at anytime in
the future. That was the judgment they made. Whether they were
right or wrong, of course, we will never know.
What happened when I saw the fire, when I saw the
building burning? I was sick. I felt terrible. And my immediate
concern was whether the children had gotten out and whether they were
escaping or whether they were inside, trying to burn themselves up.
That's the first thing I wanted to know.
Thank you.
Q Mr. President, why are you still saying it was a
Janet Reno decision? Isn't it, in the end, your decision?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, what I'm saying is that I didn't
have a four- or five-hour, detailed briefing from the FBI. I didn't
go over every strategic part of it. It is a decision for which I
take responsibility. I'm the President of the United States and I
signed off on the general decision and giving her the authority to
make the last call. When I talked to her on Sunday, some time had
elapsed. She might have made a decision to change her mind. I said,
if you decide to go forward with this tomorrow, I will support you.
And I do support her.
She is not ultimately responsible to the American
people; I am. But I think she has conducted her duties in an
appropriate fashion and she has dealt with this situation I think as
well as she could have.
Thank you. (Applause.) | 9 | trimmed_train |

Let us explore this interesting paragraph point by point, sentence by
sentence.
1) We are talking about origins, not merely science.
Origins of what? Are we speaking of the origins of life, the human
species, the universe, physical law, biological diversity or what?
2) Science cannot explain origins.
This is a false statement unless it is carefully qualified. It depends
on what origins we are talking about.
3) For a person to exclude anything but science from the issue of origins
is to say that there is no higher truth than science.
Again, this is a false statement. To begin with, the notion of "higher
truth" is distinctly dubious. Many people believe that there are ways
to ascertain truth that are not in the repetoire of science; they even
believe that there are ways that are more reliable and certain. Many
believe that there are truths that cannot be expressed using the language
of science. Let it be so. These truths are neither "higher" or
"lower"; they are simply true.
More to the point, restricting one's discussion of origins to science
does not reject other sources of knowledge; it simply restricts the
scope of discussion.
4) This is a false premise.
If this is intended as asserting that the previous sentence was false
then (4) is actually true. However the context identifies it as another
false [or at least theologically unsound] statement.
5) By the way, I enjoy science.
On the evidence Mr. Rawlins lacks sufficient understanding of science
to enjoy science in any meaningful sense. One might just as well say
that one enjoys literature written in a language that one cannot read.
However one cannot mark this sentence as false -- to follow the analogy,
perhaps he likes the pretty shapes of the letters.
6) It is truly a wonder observing God's creation.
Let us not quibble; count this one as true.
7) Macroevolution is a mixture of 15 percent science and 85 percent
religion [guaranteed within three percent error :) ]
Still another false statement. However one can make it come out true
with the following contextual modification:
"Macroevolution, as misunderstood by Rawline, is a mixture of 15 percent
of what Rawlins erroneously thinks of as science, and 85 percent of
what Rawlins erroneously thinks of as religion."
-----
It is distinctly noticeable that Mr. Rawlins fails miserably to touch
on truth except when he reports personally on what he feels. [I do
him the justice of assuming that he is not misinforming us as to his
personal reactions.] One can account for this by the hypothesis that
he has an idiosyncratic and personal concept of truth. | 15 | trimmed_train |

Depends on the nature of the "rounding." X allows the user to do bit
arithmetic on pixel values, (i.e., XOR foreground and backgroun pixel
values together to calculate a foreground color that when used with a
function of GXxor fill change foreground to background and vice-versa).
If your rounding does not preserve these types of calculations then
clients that use them will break.

Clean the area with antiseptic before injection, and after. Make

Do you have a cite for the case? You don't give enough
information to be able to compare the two situations.
If the demonstrators had been blaring loud rock music
into the landlord's home all day and night, then I could
see how the opinion would be justified. But this court
order had prohibited abortion protesters from displaying
pictures of dead fetuses, which doesn't disrupt the privacy
of anyone inside the clinic.
Perhaps in the privacy of their homes, but not on public
property. Did the Korean grocery store owner in New York
city have a right to be free from the speech of the protesters
outside his store? Patrons inside the store could hear the
protesters asking them to re-consider shopping there -- how
is that different from the abortion protesters asking women
to re-consider getting an abortion at a clinic?
Even if the protesters' speech could be considered
"harassment" (which it is not), hate speech laws have
generally been struck down by the courts. I don't see
how the words ``don't kill your baby'' or ``abortion is
murder'' could be considered harassment.
Some of the protesters were arrested for simply praying
quietly on a public sidewalk. Yeah, I could see how
that might be equivalent to "bombing" and "murder".
Uh huh. Let us know when you get a grip on reality.

I just bought a BJ-200 printer a couple of days ago. I compared it to the

Canon is giving a $50 rebate until the end of May, it is really a good buy.

Bell-Northern Research (a subsidiary of Northern Telecom). The program
for the workshop will cover all aspects of cryptology. Extended abstracts of
the papers presented at the conference will be distributed to all attendees
at the conference, and formal proceedings will be published at a later date.
In addition to the regular program of papers selected or invited by the
program committee, there will be a rump session on Tuesday evening for
informal presentations. Facilities will also be provided for attendees to
demonstrate hardware, software and other items of cryptographic interest.
If you wish to demonstrate such items, you are urged to contact the General
Chair so that your needs will be attended to. The social program will include
hosted cocktail parties on Sunday and Monday. In addition, there will be a
beach barbecue on Wednesday evening. The price of the barbecue is included
in the room and board charge, and extra tickets may be purchased.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE FACILITIES: The workshop will be held on the campus of
the University of California, Santa Barbara. The campus is located adjacent
to the Santa Barbara airport and the Pacific Ocean. Accommodations are
available in the university dormitories at relatively low cost for conference
participants. Children under the age of 13 are not allowed to stay in the
dormitories, so those bringing small children will need to make separate
arrangements in one of several nearby hotels. More information on hotels is
enclosed. Parking on campus is available at no cost to the participants.
However, participants must indicate on the registration form if they desire
a parking permit.
TRAVEL INFORMATION: The campus is located approximately 2 miles from the
Santa Barbara airport, which is served by several airlines, including
American, America West, Delta, United, and US Air. Free shuttle bus service
will be provided between the Santa Barbara airport and the campus on Sunday
and Thursday afternoons. All major rental car agencies are also represented
in Santa Barbara, and AMTRAK has rail connections to San Francisco from the
north and Los Angeles from the south. Santa Barbara is approximately 100 miles
north of Los Angeles airport, and 350 miles south of San Francisco.
REGISTRATION: Participation is invited by interested parties, but attendance
at the workshop is limited, and pre-registration is strongly advised. Late
registrations, subject to a late registration fee, may be accepted if space
is available, but there are NO GUARANTEES. To register, fill out the attached
registration form and return to the address on the form along with payment in
full before July 9, 1993. Campus accommodations will be available on a first
come, first serve basis for attendees who register by July 9, 1993. The
conference fees include participation in the program and all social functions,
as well as membership to the IACR and a subscription to the Journal of
Cryptology. The room and board charges include dormitory lodging and meals
are available to those unable to obtain funding. Applications for stipends
should be sent to the General Chair before June 4, 1993.

CRYPTO '93 - Hotel Information
............................................................................
For those who choose not to stay in the dormitories, the following is a
partial list of hotels in the area. Those who choose to stay off campus are
responsible for making their own reservations, and early reservations are
advised since August is a popular season in Santa Barbara. Note that Goleta
is closer to UCSB than Santa Barbara, but that a car will probably be
required to travel between any hotel and the campus. All prices are subject
to change; prices should be confirmed by calling the individual hotels
directly. However, mention CRYPTO'93 when you are making your reservation and
in several of the hotels listed you will be eligible for the university rate
which can be significantly less than the normal rates. We are not able to
block rooms in these hotels, so please make reservations as early as
possible. The quality of the hotels range from rather expensive beach-front
resorts to basic inexpensive accommodations. For further information, try

The HGA isn't all that reflective in the wavelengths that might "cook the
focal elements", nor is its figure good on those scales--the problem is
that the antenna _itself_ could not be exposed to Venus-level sunlight,
lest like Icarus' wings it melt. (I think it was glues and such, as well
as electronics, that they were worried about.) Thus it had to remain
furled and the axis _always_ pointed near the sun, so that the small
sunshade at the tip of the antenna mast would shadow the folded HGA.
(A larger sunshade beneath the antenna shielded the spacecraft bus.) | 10 | trimmed_train |

Insofar as several "liberal" jurisdictions are concerned, the essential
elements of rape are gender neutral. Nonetheless, I decided to provide
a number of references to support my original argument. Black's Law
Dictionary (every law student/lawyer's friend) defines rape as: Unlawful
sexual intercourse with a female without her consent. The unlawful
knowledge of a woman by a man forcibly and against her will. The Model
Penal Code (the statute proposed by the National Conference of Commissioners
of Uniform State Laws or other organization for adoption by state legislatures)
defines rape as: A male who has sexual intercourse with a female not his wife
is guilty of rape if he (a) compels her to submit by force or by threat of
imminent death.... (MPC @213.1(1)(a))
Indeed the following jurisdictions/states have statutes similar to the MPC:
Alabama-- Code of Ala. @13A-6-61 (1992)
Arkansas--Ark.Stat.Ann. @5-14-103 (1993)
District of Columbia--D.C. Code @22-2801 (1992)
Georgia--O.F.G.A. @16-6-1 (1992)
Idaho--Idaho Code @18-6101 (1992)
Maryland--Md.Ann.Code.Art. 27 @462 (1992)
Mississippi--Miss.Code Ann. @97-3-71 (1993)
New York (check case law)--N.Y.C.L.S. Penal @130.35 (1993)
North Carolina--N.C. Gen.Stat. @14-27-2 (1992)

nsmca> So some of my ideas are a bit odd, off the wall and such, but
nsmca> so was Wilbur and Orville Wright, and quite a few others..
This is a common misconception. There was nothing "off the wall"
about the Wright Brothers. They were in correspondance with a number
of other experimenters (Octave Chanute, Lillienthal, etc), they flew
models, they had a wind tunnel. In short, they were quite mainstream
and were not regarded as odd or eccentric by the community.
I suggest you read The Bishop's Boys or the biography by Harry Gates?
Combs? (I can never remember which it is--the guy that had the FBOs
and owned Learjet for a while). These are both in print and easily
obtainable. The Bishop's Boys is in trade paperback, even.
Even better would be the multi-volume set of the Wrights' writings,
but this is out of print, rare, and hideously expensive.

5,914 | I have a Fujitsu M2322K which has been removed (I believe) from a digital
X-Ray machine (takes X-Ray pictures without film). The Fujitsu part number
is B03B-4745-B002A.
I have obtained some data on the device, it is 8-inch winchester-type
of 168 megabyte capacity (though I was told it was over 800 megabytes).
However, there is very little information on the interface standard used.
It appears to use two balanced-line connections, but what each connection
corresponds to I know not. One connection is a 30-way IDC, the other a
60-way IDC.
If anyone has any information on this device, I would be most grateful
if you could provide it.
Thanks.

5,332 | henrik] Let me clearify Mr. Turkish;
henrik] ARMENIA is NOT getting "itchy". SHE is simply LETTING the WORLD KNOW
henrik] that SHE WILL NO LONGER sit there QUIET and LET TURKS get away with
henrik] their FAMOUS tricks. Armenians DO REMEMBER of the TURKISH invasion
henrik] of the Greek island of CYPRESS WHILE the world simply WATCHED.
Onur Yalcin] It is more appropriate to address netters with their names as
Onur Yalcin] they appear in their signatures (I failed to do so since you did
Onur Yalcin] not bother to sign your posting). Not only because it is the
Onur Yalcin] polite thing to do, but also to avoid addressing ladies with
Onur Yalcin] "Mr.", as you have done.
Fine. Please, accept my opology !
Onur Yalcin] Secondly, the island of which the name is more correctly spelled
Onur Yalcin] as Cyprus has never been Greek, but rather, it has been home to
Onur Yalcin] a bi-communal society formed of Greeks and Turks. It seems that
^^^^^^^^^^^
Onur Yalcin] you know as little about the history and the demography of the
Onur Yalcin] island, as you know about the essence of Turkey's
Onur Yalcin] military intervention to it under international agreements.
bi-communal society ? Then why DID NOT Greece INVADE CYPRUS ?
Onur Yalcin] Be that as it may, an analogy between an act of occupation in
Onur Yalcin] history and what is going on today on Azerbaijani land, can only
Onur Yalcin] be drawn with the expansionist policy that Armenia is now pursuing.
Buch of CRAP and you know it. Nagarno-Karabagh has ALWAYS been PART
of ARMENIA and it was STALIN who GAVE IT to the AZERIS. Go back and
review the HISTORY.
The Armenians in Nagarno-Karabagh are simply DEFENDING their RIGHTS
to keep their homeland and it is the AZERIS that are INVADING their
teritory.
Onur Yalcin] But, I could agree that it is not for us to issue diagnoses to
Onur Yalcin] the political conduct of countries, and promulgate them in such
Onur Yalcin] terminology as "itchy-bitchy"...

9,914 | Hi,
I am new to this newsgroup, and also fairly new to christianity. I was
raised as a Unitarian and have spent the better part of my life as an
agnostic, but recently I have developed the firm conviction that the
Christian message is correct and I have accepted Jesus into my life. I am
happy, but I realize I am very ignorant about much of the Bible and
quite possibly about what Christians should hold as true. This I am trying
to rectify (by reading the Bible of course), but it would be helpful
to also read a good interpretation/commentary on the Bible or other
relevant aspects of the Christian faith. One of my questions I would
like to ask is - Can anyone recommend a good reading list of theological
works intended for a lay person?
I have another question I would like to ask. I am not yet affiliated
with any one congregation. Aside from matters of taste, what criteria
should one use in choosing a church? I don't really know the difference
between the various Protestant denominations.
Thanks for reading my post.
Sincerely,

Oddly enough, you don't, at least according to the wiring FAQ that
is regularly posted on misc.consumers.house.
A GFCI senses discrepancies between the live and neutral wire currents,
and cuts them both off if a discrepancy is found. No ground connection
is needed for it to function.

Strictly from memory, I think the Phillies were something like
ten games up with 12 to go, lost 10 in a row, and 11 of last 12
to lose to the Cardinals. Seems impossible, but thats how I
remember it. I also felt at the time that Johnny Callison of
the Phillies lost the MVP as a by-product of their swoon.

Windows NT is a step forward, but not by much. I guess for DOS users who
think multi-tasking is really _neat_ (add puke here) and are overjoyed to
be able to use more than 64K of memory, its a major improvement. For Windows
users its more like an upgrade with facilities most Unix users take for
granted. Most of Windows users only use PCs for text processing or running
3rd-party applications anyway so the operating system features are not even
a real issue. My ideal operating system:
Binary compatible across all plaforms. It should recognize
binaries and configure on the fly, so I don't have to have
bin/Mac bin/DOS bin/Dec bin/Sun bin/HP etc...
Multi-CPU. So I can use the CPUs on my PC and W/S and Mac
and Transputers and DSPs. I don't know a single site which
has gone for a single vendor. I am not going to trade-in
80Mflops per H1 transputer or ultra-fast FFT on DSP chips.
Note NT runs on Symmetric multi-CPU systems.
Built-in portable GUI/Graphics tools. You can call DrawButton
or DrawLine and it does the same thing no matter what platform
or display. It should also translate graphics commands on-the-fly.
so I can use PC graphics S/W on my workstation and X software on
my PC. I think GUIs are not just nice to have but essential.
Configurable front-end. So you can make it look like Unix or DOS
or NT or OS/2, and run shell scripts or command/BAT files.
Object oriented. So I can program easily under it and not have
to re-invent the wheel if the networking is not up to scratch
or my application needs to access source/object code on the fly.
In other words it should have some AI capability. That and a tight, clean
kernel so you can actually understand it. Anyone know of something like this ?

The FDA, I believe. Rules say no blood or blood products donations
from anyone who has been in a malarial area for 3 years. I was a platelet

to find out they couldn't use me for 3 years.
Not necessarily. The same rules may not apply to organ donation
as to blood donation. In fact, I'm sure they don't.

Proof by assertion! I love it! Uh, please explain why the smugglers
do not also rank a notch below (or above) the military in terms
of communications, intelligence gathering (e.g., why fight officials

What's the point here? You're arguing that the black market
WORKS (which it does, of course).
This is the wrong way to quantify things. The smuggler would
be concerned about value/cubic foot. Go to a gun show and
price out a crate of good quality handguns.

There were an assortment of firmware problems, but that is pretty much
expected with any FAX/modem talking with a different FAX or modem
which may have also been revised or is new. I'm pretty much
oblivious to any current firmware problems, so you'll have to get it
from someone else.
However, I can tell you to stay clear of any board which uses the
Rockwell MPU (as opposed to the DPU) for an internal implementation.
This is because the MPU used "speed buffering" instead of having a
16550 interface. Without the 550 interface, the number of interrupts
are still the same and thus may get dropped under multitasking
conditions (like in windows). As far as I know, the "speed buffering"
works OK for external modems if a 550 is used on the internal serial
port board.
Hope this helps...

Depends on what you mean by "for a living". 1974 was the year he led the
league in pinch-hit at bats with 50, but he'd been getting a lot of PH ABs
earlier than that, and was never a full-time player. 20-35 PH ABs early in
his career, 15-20 a year just before going to the Dodgers, and 30-50 in the
peak years.
We're talking about a guy with a 20-year career as an outfielder, a .300+
career batting average, and 1130 or so career hits.

I don't know the exact meaning of UART, but I think it is something like
Universal Arithmetic Receiver Transmitter. Normally, the older boards have
a 8250 or 16450 UART on board. Those chips generate an IRQ for every char
they received. The 16550 UART has an internal 16 byte buffer, so - with the
right software installed - it generates an IRQ every 16 chars.
If you ran dos, you don't need a 16550, because dos runs only ONE task at a
time and the whole cpu-power could be used for the transfer. But if you are
running a multitasking OS such as OS/2, Unix, etc. ( windows ? :-) ), the
cpu cannot work the whole time with one task.
The result are lost characters or broken transmissions because of timeouts.
NO. The only diffrence is that internal modems have the UART on board,
whereas external modems are connected to the computer over a serial port
which has the UART on board.
I use a Zyxel1496B with a 16550UART under COHERENT 4.0. I'm very satisfied
with it but I think that nearly everyone is satisfied with his own modem.

Makes sense, since the new Mercedes Benz engines go from 2.2L-4 to a 2.8L-6.
Nothing in between. BTW, I beleive the numbers on those MB engines are
156 and 225 hp respectively. The one-upmanship in hp might induce BMW
to create a larger six. Also, the 2.6 190E has lagged behind the 3-er
2.5 for some time wrt hp. I am sure the Bavarians wouldn't want to be

7 MHz. The equivalent in car terms is having a nice Porsche with a button

7,542 | A friend of mine is having some symptoms and has asked me to post
the following information.
A few weeks ago, she noticed that some of her hair was starting
to fall out. She would touch her head and strands of hair would
just fall right out. (by the way, she is 29 or 30 years old).
It continued to occur until she had a bald spot about the
size of a half dollar. Since that time, she has gotten two
more bald spots of the same size. Other symptoms she's
described include: several months of an irregular menstrual
cycle (which is strange for her, because she has always been
extremely regular); laryngitis every few days -- she will wake
up one morning and have almost no voice, and then the next day
it's fine; dizzy spells -- she claims that she's had 4 or 5
very bad dizzy spells early in the morning, including one that
knocked her to the ground; and general fatigue.
She went to a dermatologist first who couldn't find any reason
for the symptoms and sent her to an internist who suspected
thyroid problems. He did the blood work and claims that everything
came back normal.
She's very concerned and very confused. Does anyone have any
ideas or suggestions? I told her that I thought she should
see an endocrinologist. Does that sound like the right idea?
** By the way, in case you are going to ask...no, she has recently
taken any medications that would cause these symptoms...no, she hasn't
recently changed her hair products and she hasn't gotten a perm,
coloring, or other chemical process that might cause hair to fall
out. | 19 | trimmed_train |

7,642 | I'm a biker and a dog-lover.
First and foremost, I want to mention some common sense. If it's a choice
between injuring/killing a dog or getting yourself injured/killed, there is
only one rational decision. Only the most insane animal rights kook would put
the dog first.
Second, it's useful to learn how to read a dog's body language. How you react
to a dog who is chasing you because he thinks it's a game (and that you're
playing with him) is completely different from how you react to a dog which
has hostile intent.
Third, it's useful to learn how to present yourself to a dog. Dogs are social
beasts, and recognize a domination/submission hierarchy. To a dog, there are
two types of fellow-creatures; that which he dominates, and that which
dominate him. You need to unambiguously represent yourself as being of the
latter class. You are God: you are easily angered and your anger is terrible.
But God is also amused by one who properly submits to His dominance, and may
even on rare occasions dispense a kind word, a kind word, or even (oh joy oh
rapture unforeseen) A Dog Bisquit!
Now, how does that all relate to biking? Well, first, it's a good idea to
assume that most dogs who chase motorcycles do so because they think it's a
game, and not out of overt hostility. The MSF suggestion is a very good one;
when you see the dog coming, slow down so he determines a particular place of
interception. Just before you (and he) reach that spot, punch the throttle so
that when he reaches it you're already long gone. Dogs take a few seconds to
react to new input, and definitely cannot comprehend the acceleration that a
motorcycle is capable of.
With a hostile dog, or one which you repeatedly encounter, stronger measures
may be necessary. This is the face off. First -- and there is very important
-- make sure you NEVER face off a dog on his territory. Face him off on the
road, not on his driveway. If necessary, have a large stick, rolled up
newspaper, etc. (something the beast will understand is something that will
hurt him). Stand your ground, then slowly advance. Your mental attitude is
that you are VERY ANGRY and are going to dispense TERRIBLE PUNISHMENT. The
larger the dog, the greater your anger.
Dogs will pick up anger, just as they can pick up fear. And, since you and he
are not on his home territory, it may suddenly dawn on the dog that perhaps he
is on your territory, and that you are prepared to fight to the death.
Most dogs will decide that it is a good idea to retreat to their own territory
where there is at least a home advantage. They'll also observe that you are
satisfied by that retreat (gesture of submission) and thus they have escaped
punishment. | 12 | trimmed_train |

No, I originally argued that the Second Amendment was "a little bit

an anachronism. After all, laws in made by representatives of the
people. These representatives of the people have already decided
that the Second Amendment does not apply or is too broad in some
cases. Since these representatives feel an unconditional
interpretation is not wanted, then it is probable that they majority
of the people feel the same way. If this is so, it is an example
of the people using their power of government. If this is not
how the people feel, the people should stand up and state their wishes.
-> RKBA is dependent on the existence of a top-flight, well-regulated
-> militia. Why this is a false assumption has already been posted a
-> number of times.
No, I simple stated that the people have a right to "join a well
organized militia." And I have also stated that a militia that
meets once or twice a year is clearly "well organized." And this
state of readiness that I have claimed the people have a "right"
to, is the same state of readiness expected of the militia as stated
by Hamilton.

I'm not sure there's a really sharp distinction between allergic and
vasomotor rhinitis. Basically, vasomotor rhinitis means your nose is
stuffy when it has no reason to be (not even an identifiable allergy).
Decongestants and steroid sprays work for vasomotor rhinitis. Also,
I can get surprising relief from purely superficial measures such as

Windows: The recent reviews have all shown that the P9000 cards are
significantly faster doing Windows than the ATI card.
VGA: The recent reviews have all shown that the P9000 cards they looked
at are significantly slower doing VGA than the ATI card. About
1/2 the speed, as I recall.
The big question for me is the Orchid V9000 card. Each of the
P9000 cards tested so far has had the W5186 to do VGA. Orchid
is the only one I know about (I don't know about AMI) that uses
the W5286 for VGA. That is reportedly faster.
I would like to know whether the Orchid card can do VGA as fast as
the ATI card. If so, it would appear to be a formidable competitor.
(Advertised prices are about the same for the two cards.)
Someone in this group posted a little while back that they were getting an
Orchid V9000 card -- has that card arrived? What do the benchmarks look
like?
Also, is the AMI P9000-based card real? What does it use for VGA? Speed? | 3 | trimmed_train |

The average amerikan today seems to think that the government should be
able to eavesdrop on everyone (else). Opinion polls show that most
people belive the Bill of Rights to grant too much freedom to people,
when it is not identified as such (BTW, if anyone knows of a cite for that,
I'd love to have it). Not only does this mean that these people are
willing to give up everyone (else's) rights, they don't even know what

How can we show the average person (not the average USENET reader) that

8,780 | I posted about this a while ago but without code excerpts noone was
able to help me.
The problem is that main_win.win is doing fine, but when I create
detail_win.win, it does not receive it's initial expose events until
main_win.win receives an event. Here are the relevent calls:
main_win.win = XCreateSimpleWindow (mydisplay, DefaultRootWindow(mydisplay),
myhint.x, myhint.y, myhint.width, myhint.height,
main_win.line_thick, fg, bg);
XSetStandardProperties(mydisplay, main_win.win, main_win.text,
main_win.text, None, argv, argc, &myhint);
main_win.gc = XCreateGC (mydisplay, main_win.win, 0, 0);
XMapRaised (mydisplay, detail_win.win);
XMapSubwindows (mydisplay, main_win.win);
The event mask for main_win is:
PPosition | PSize | StructureNotifyMask | ExposureMask| KeyPressMask |
EnterWindowMask | LeaveWindowMask;
The flags are
PPosition | PSize
I then create detail_win.win with the following calls (hints has new values):
detail_win.win = XCreateSimpleWindow (mydisplay, DefaultRootWindow(mydisplay),
myhint.x, myhint.y, myhint.width, myhint.height,
detail_win.line_thick, fg, bg);
XSetStandardProperties(mydisplay, main_win.win, detail_win.text,
detail_win.text, None, argv, argc, &myhint);
detail_win.gc = XCreateGC (mydisplay, detail_win.win, 0, 0);
XMapRaised (mydisplay, detail_win.win);
Event Mask and flags are identical to main_win's flags and event mask.
If anybody has any idea why the initial expose events of detail_win.win
are not received until main_win.win receives an event I'd love to hear
from them. Other that that everything works great so there must be some
detail I'm overseeing. | 16 | trimmed_train |

diamond star cars (Talon/Eclipse/Laser) put out 190 hp in the turbo models,
and 195 hp in the AWD turbo models, These cars also have handling to match
the muscle, and are civil in regular driving conditions, rather than having a
harsh, stiff ride....The AWD Turbo is clearly the better choice of the two
(because of all that torque steer on the front drive model), but you may have
to go with a leftover or "slightly" used model for that price range....tough

Ah...someone had mentioned this journal, but gave no further information.
Yes, thank you, though I am really curious as to why this never came out
(at least not in what I saw, up here in Canada, or on CNN, which is sent
up here) during the Thomas nomination hearings. Surely, one would think
that her claim to having been sexually harassed, would have a great deal
less credibility if it could be shown that she had herself been guilty of it.
Ahemmm.... It depends. :-)
(For instance, if it were the "sworn statements" at the Warren Commission,
then yes, I _would_ say that the statements were no better than toilet
paper, used at that :-), but in most cases, the answer would be "no").

Not recommended. Your circuit would take too much current, when
telephone is on-hook. Telephone company does not like it.

Last I checked I was one person, I haven't even been elected
as a representative for "gaydom". Should I ascribe every thing
you say as representing every member of the straight community?
Thats the point. If there are several million queers in DC you had better
start wondering about the validity of the study.

VC++ *is* considered an upgrade for C7. There will be no product
called C 8.0 (although the command-line compiler of VC++ lists its
version as 8.00). C7 is not a "DOS"-only product -- it is a C/C++
compiler capable of producing executables for DOS or Windows, as is
VC++ (Pro. Ed.). The (significant) difference is that VC++ comes with
many Windows-hosted tools (ide, etc) which assist developers in
creating Windows executables much more quickly (basically by
automating the thousands of lines of boilerplate code). Initial
impressions have been very favorable.
Everyone who is a registered user of C7 should have received a
considerable amount of info regarding the specifics of C7. If you
haven't, call Microsoft and I'm sure they'd be happy to send you some! | 18 | trimmed_train |

Great. This site is a complete shadow of the Signetics BBS 8051 directory.
Thanks Brian,

I'm looking for Microsoft's internal speaker sound driver for Windows.
Should be at Microsoft's FTP site, but I can't remember the name of the site... | 18 | trimmed_train |

Buffalo seems to have started a tradition of trading its captains.
Pat LaFontaine was awarded the Captaincy when Mike Ramsey was forced
to give it up (Ramsey's now a Penguin). Ramsey inherited it from Mike
Foligno (who's now a leaf). He in turn had inherited it from Lindy
Ruff, who went I forget where. Ruff had it from Perreault, who
retired, so I guess that's where the streak started. Or did it?
After all, Danny Gare was captain before him, and he went to Detroit.
Jim Scoenfeld, Gerry Meehan, and Floyd Smith are the others, in
reverse order, last to first. I was a bit young at the time, so I'm
not sure of the fate of Schoenfeld, but he ultimately went to Detroit
and Boston. Meehan went to Vancouver, Atlanta and Washington. Smith
seems to have hung up his skates after Buffalo, but I don't know if
the captaincy was removed before or after that, or how many games he
played for Buffalo. This is actually getting fascinating. :-)
Captaincy in Buffalo is a sure sign you're to be traded, almost,
unless you're a franchise player.

Money orders operate pretty much like checks, with both parties being
supposed to sign them. I assume you'd have to show the buy-back people
an ID, and you'd then have a money order made out to that ID.
As far as traceable as a practical matter, I don't know, it would
depend on whether they bother to computerize who the recipient's name is
on the money order and bother keying that sort of thing in. I'd say
certainly the police and the buyback people would keep a record of who
they gave money orders out to.
There might be some questions asked, I suppose, if somebody
brought in a number of weapons each time over a series of "buy back"
programs.
