I have a Tseng labs video card that gives me problems when I do anything in super VGA mode. CHECKIT v3.0 reports a Video Page Frame Address Error at Page Frame #7. What does this mean and how (if I can) could this be fixed? The card Says ET4000Ax on it.

Hi, In Canada, any gun that enters a National Park must be sealed (I think it's a small metal tag that's placed over the trigger). The net result of this is that you _can't_ use a gun to protect yourself from bears (or psychos) in the National Parks. Instead, one has to be sensitive to the dangers and annoyances of hiking in bear country, and take the appropriate precautions. I think this policy makes the users of the National Parks feel a little closer to Nature, that they are a part of Nature and, as such, have to deal with nature on it's own terms.

You wanna do masking. Build a bitmap (pixmap of depth one) where all pixels you name "opaque" are 1 (that get copied) and the others are 0. Use this bitmap as the clip_mask in the gc used for XCopyArea(), and remember to adjust the clip_origin coordinates to the XCopyArea() blit origin. The Mouse pointer (besides from that it is driven using RAMDAC analog mapping on most hardwares) uses a mask, too. But be warned: blitting through a mask and especially moving around this mask is annoying slow on most xservers... it flickers even at 40 MIPS...

On more than one occassion the camera zoomed in on a check along the boards while the puck was in the slot. They panned back to show the rebound.

I have tried almost everything under the sun to get a null modem connection between a Mac Duo 210 and a PC. I have used MacKermit and VersaTerm on the Mac side. I have used Procomm, Kermit, and Softerm (on OS/2) on the PC (or PS) side. I have used non-Hardware handshaking and hardware ahdshaking cables. And know MY hands are shaking from the effort. Nothing has allowed file transfers from the Mac to the PS. In general, I can type back and forth with no trouble, but only if both sides are set to speeds OVER 9600 baud. I cannot send files from the Mac to the PS at all, and file transfers from the Duo to the PS are not possible. When I do a straight ascii send, I can send from the PS to the Duo flawlessly. I can send Binhex files this way quite fast, and I know that the transmission is error free. But straight ascii sent from the Mac to the PS is full of errors. Unless, of course, I do text pacing so slow that it is like human typing. (well, like 2-3 times faster than human typing). I would like to hear from ANYONE who has been able to transfer files from a Duo 210 to a PS via modem or null modem. If you can do it, please tell me your EXACT combination of hardware and software. Obviously, I am talking of a true serial port modem, not the express modem. Maybe some kind soul with access to a modem and a Duo 210 can check this out for me. Right now, I am of the opinion that it won't work at high speeds because of the power interrupts on the Duo, and it won't work at low speeds because of some crazy reason I don't understand. Could I hear from someone attesting that they can really pump information out the serial port of a Duo 210 fast? Like via a modem or via a sys-ex dump? Could anyone with a Duo help me out?? I am going absolutely INSANE. I wanna know if the problem is MY Duo, or all Duo 210s, or all Duos, or just me. Yes, I have checked the cable 1,000,000 times. And not only can I type back and forth, but Zterm alerts the users if s/he uses hardware handshaking and CTS is down. So I know that hardware handshaking is working. And also, According to Zterm port stats, the buffer never overflows. Please help me figure out what's going on...

You'd have to purify the river water first. I'm not sure how practical that is with the Mississippi. You'd better check with health agencies along the way to see if there are toxic chemicals in the river. If it is just microorganisms, those can be filtered or killed, but you may need activated charcoal or other means to purify from chemicals. Better be same than sorry. Obviously, drinking the river without processing it is likely to make you sick from bacteria and parasites. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gordon Banks N3JXP | "Skepticism is the chastity of the intellect, and [email protected] | it is shameful to surrender it too soon."

TRIAD, the first drag-free satellite, was designed and built by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory and launched 2 Sept 1972. The satellite was in three sections separated by two booms. The central section housed the DISCOS Disturbance Compensation System, which consisted of a proof mass of special non-magnetic alloy housed within a spherical cavity. The proof mass flew a true gravitational orbit, free from drag and radiation pressure. Teflon microthrusters kept the body of the satellite centered around the proof mass, thereby flying the entire satellite drag free. TRIAD was one of the APL-designed Navy Navigation Satellites. The 2nd-generation operational navigation satellites flying today (NOVA) use a single-axis version of DISCOS. TRIAD was also the sixth APL satellite to be powered by an RTG (APL flew the first nuclear power supply in space, in 1961). Further info on TRIAD, DISCOS, etc. can be found in "Spacecraft Design Innovations in the APL Space Department," Johns Hopkins APL Technical Digest, Vol. 13, No. 1 (1992).

A brutal act of terrorism inspired by Christian propoganda was recently commited on your very campus. Its very simple religious extremists of all religions put no value on human life.

Then they'll probably also want to start tracking the customer lists of people purchasing SoundBlaster and similar boards, which can be configured with the use of some code and a modem, to act as a pretty decent digital-encrypting telephone. It's expensive, though, and kind of awkward. I don't know any drug lords, but I'm sure they'd favor something tappable over something secure as long as the user interface is nice. When you've got HRH Prince of Wales saying stupid things over cordless phones, it's not hard to imagine that drug dealers, child pornographers, commies, LISP programmers, and other threats to the civilized world might transact incriminating business over "encrypting" cellular phones.

Hello, I already tried our national news group without success. I tried to replace a friend's original IBM floppy disk in his PS/1-PC with a normal TEAC drive. I already identified the power supply on pins 3 (5V) and 6 (12V), shorted pin 6 (5.25"/3.5" switch) and inserted pullup resistors (2K2) on pins 8, 26, 28, 30, and 34. The computer doesn't complain about a missing FD, but the FD's light stays on all the time. The drive spins up o.k. when I insert a disk, but I can't access it. The TEAC works fine in a normal PC. Are there any points I missed? Thank you. Volkmar

Why doing it in such a rough manner? It is much more professional to steal the chip from the phone and even to replace it with a pin-compatible do-nothing chip that does not encrypt at all. Chances are that the victim will not notice anything, especially if it is done professionally. No, because the Feds will still be able to decrypt the conversations. True, they'll blame the wrong guys, but nevertheless one cannot say something like "The drugs arrive tommorrow on the ship 'Terminus'" when the Feds are listening, even if they cannot identify who the speaker is. No, the criminals will just use some secure encryption. The new proposal does not stop criminals; it ensures that the government will be able to wiretap the average citizen and stops the casual snooper. To me, it also clearly looks as a step towards outlawing any other strong encryption devices. Regards, Vesselin

I suspect that you think that this is less lethal than the typical "assault weapon". You are wrong. Compared to what most criminals use, a 9mm with military ammo (FMJs), or a military rifle (use is extremely rare), .223 or 7.62mm with military ammo (FMJs), the .32 H&R magnum with "civie" bullets is more lethal. Most of the arms which criminals (and the military) use are among the least lethal arms in existance.

This subject seems to be incredibly inflammatory. Those who subscribe to _Biblical Archaeology Review_ will remember a spectacular letter battle set off when someone complained about a Franklin Mint ad. (_BAR_ is a great magazine, but the contrast between the rather scholarly articles and the incredibly sleazy ads is extreme.) In this ad, they were hawking a doll with a head based on the famous bust of Nefertiti, giving the face a typical doll-pink complexion. The letter complained about this as a misrepresentation on the grounds that Nefertiti was "a beautiful black queen." This set off an exchange of hotheaded letters than ran for several issues, to the point where they had an article from an Egyptologist titled "Was Cleopatra Black?" (The answer to the title is "no"-- she was greek.) I have to say that I hear a hysterical note in much of the complaining. I personally have seen only one blond-haired Jesus (in the National Shrine in Wash. DC), and I found it very jarring. Western representations vary enourmously, but in general the image of is of a youngish male with dark hair and beard, of a sort that can be found (modulo the nose) all up and down the Mediterranean. (Also, if what I remember is correct, the "Black Madonna" doesn't represent a person with negroid features. It is black because of an accident. Joe Buehler....?) In the presence of all those marble statues, one is prone to forget that greeks are rather likely to have black hair. When one crosses the bosporus, the situation breaks down completely. Are Turks white? How about Persians, or various groups in the indian subcontinent? Was Gandhi white? How about the Arabs? Or picture Nassar and Sadat standing side by side. And then there are the Ethiopians.... Those of a white racist bent are not likely to say that *any* of these people are "white" (i.e., of the racist's "race"). If I may risk a potentially inflammatory remark, one undercurrent of this seems to be the identification of modern jews as members of the oppressor race. Considering the extreme dicotomy between medieval religion on the one hand and medieval antisemitism on the other, I don't think that this "Jesus was white" thesis ever played the roles that some hold it did. Representations of Jesus as black or korean or whatever are fine. It seems awfully self-serving to insist that Jesus belongs to one's own racial group.

A reply to a post by [email protected] (aka Nancy's Sweetheart): ?Human brains are infested with sin, and they can only be trusted ?in very limited circumstances. I would beg to differ with you here. The properly-formed conscience can be trusted virtually ALL the time. I am not so sure, though, about something so materialistic as the human brain. Does that mass of tissue possess anything trustworthy? Your observation would probably be valid if we were discussing the "mind" of an animal, but the human being is only half animal, as it were; and half spiritual. ?At the moment he stops speaking, and people start interpreting, the ?possibility of error appears. Did he mean that literally or not? We do ?not have any record that he elaborated on the words. Was he thinking of ?Tran- or Con- substatiation? He didn't say. We interpret this passage ?using our brains; we think and reason and draw conclusions. But we know ?that our brains are not perfect: our thinking often leads us wrong. (This ?is something that most of us have direct experience of. 8-) Now you have hit on the purpose of the Church. It is by necessity the infallible interpreter of divine revelation. Without the Church, Christianity would be nothing more than a bunch of little divisive sects. ?Unless you are infallible, there are very few things you can be certain ?of. To the extent that doctrines rely on fallible human thinking, they ?cannot be certain. This argument of yours regarding the certainty of an observation or a conclusion is not necessarily substantiated by experience. It reminds me of the theoretical physicist who said that you can never be certain of a measurment because the sensor interferes with the field you are trying to measure. Now, the experimental physicist will reply that although the measurement can never be made with absolute certainty, he is able to determine the certainty with which the measurement can be made, and this knowledge is often sufficient to render the measurement useful enough to allow evidence of the true condition of the field under observation. Therefore, although our minds are finite and susceptible to error, our competence in arriving at inductive insights gives confidence in our ability to distinguish what is true from what is not true, even in areas not subject to the experimental method. ?Darren F Provine / [email protected] ?"If any substantial number of [ talk.religion.misc ] readers read some ?

We might get further if we begin by accepting that the government really couldn't be bothered less about the political opinions of the right wing pro establishment types. Just about the only circumstances in which I could think that they would be interested in their political views would be to recruit them as spooks. They can be guaranteed to give the government line when it counts. In US history it has been the socialists such as myself who have been persecuted. Now before people start asserting that there is no mechanism by which the administration can get their new chip adopted without legal force lets try thinking. In the first place the clipper chip must have existed for several years as a defense project. Therefore this is not a party matter at all. George Bush was in any case hardly adverse to tapping calls, he was chief spook remember. Secondly the govt can quite easily apply pressure. They simply "ask" their chums who they give huge defense contracts to (motorola etc) to be "nice" boys. After all Bill is giving them a nice little trade monopoly since the chips won't be avaliable to foreign firms. Thirdly the people who consider the Democrats to be socialist are not the same as the ones who consider socialists to be communist. People might know this if the US education system did not suffer from the Mcarthyite and Dewy version of political correctness - the sort with tribunals and show trials. Ever seen Ed Meese pissed? I have, it was when he said that socialism and communism were the same thing and brought the house down with laughter. It took several minutes before we realised that he was serious.

The word that is missing in this whole discourse is not the "B" word, or the "H" word, or even the "N" or "W" words. It is the "L" word - LOSER !! That's right. When we boil all the crap out of this argument, it is all about WINNING and LOSING, and nothing else. Let me explain. Remember the eighties ? No excuses. Nobody who can handle a mail buffer can claim they are "too young" to remember Ronald Reagan - yet. The eighties were about "How America Learned to Win Once Again". Then (wouldn't you know), we won so well that there was nothing left to win. No Cold War to endure. No nuclear holocaust. No more worlds to conquer (We forgot about outer space long ago). The kind of overwhelming, no holds barred success that killed Alexander the Great. Yes, there were a few "little" problems along the way - stock market meltdown here, an S&L bailout there, a few revolts and crazy Middle Eastern dictators to contend with, but as Tacitus would tell ya', the God Augustus never had it so good. In the meantime, there is guilt for winning, maybe a fear that one doesn't deserve one's bounty - or success. So there is a "kinder and gentler type of politician these days, Bill Clinton, affirmative action, and lots of discourse about people who "don't get it". For those of us in the winning business, this kind of talk is mildly irritating, but there is still no suggestion of losing. But what do we find now ? To put it mildy, the stereotype of our "white male" non-winner is Woody Hayes in the Rose Bowl, punching out photojournalists when those California fruits and nuts steal another one with a "Hail Mary" pass in the Fourth Quarter. (The whole idea behind 'three yards and a cloud of dust' is to wear your opponent down until he collapses in the final period) But Woody just used his fists - Uzzies seem to be the weapon of choice these days. Who is D-FENS, anyway ? The answer is as plain as the horn rims on your face. The guy is MICHAEL DOUGLAS, posing as a LOSER. This is known as controversial casting. But that baggy short-sleeved white shirt sure does look natural on Mike doesn't it. Gordon Gekko will never look the same. (Though Woody always dressed that way.) Did we really expect Gekko to take it easy and enjoy that kind of wardrobe, without putting up a fuss ? What we are starting to lose sight of is, that bashing D-FENS is the same game as bashing that poor African American slug that Clint Eastwood used to blow away all the time. As that arch-WASP (male gender) George C. Scott declaimed, "Americans traditionally LOVE TO WIN. They love a winner, and will not tolerate a loser." And so on. The political implications are simple. If, as many socialists - and Democrats - do, you consider society a finite pie to a apportioned in some "equitable" way, then you have to worry about who is a winner and who is a loser to tell whose side you are on. That could be black women today, Asian homosexuals tommorrow, and yes indeed, white men some yet to be determined day when the balance of the pie has finally swung against that (39%) minority. Or you can just blow the whole thing off and say - as do most conservatives and all the libertarians - and act is if you didn't care who's winning and who's losing. In some cases, you might say something about make sure the game is fair (equality of opportunity, not of condition). In the latter case, you might be able to identify yourself as a "neoconservative" or a "neoliberal" depending on how much you want to limit the pot. Either way you go, the way of the Winner is no longer the way to be popular - at least after you graduate from High School (but you'll still be popular at High School reunions). But it beats being a Nerd, as I would imagine Michael Douglas would now agree, and in the long run, it is the only way to go. (Even in Hollywood, which treats Losers worse than any other place in America except for New York and Washington, D.C. - and even in Columbus, Ohio, which produced Alex Keaton, but no champion football teams in the eighties and the first quarter of the nineties) I'd like to see more Winners in this society, regardless of race, gender, religious preference, and sexual orientation. Maybe we should even let a few more of them be white men !! (We should DEFINITELY let the Buckeyes win the Rose Bowl someday) Bill R. --

In four replies, I've seen no hard numbers, so here goes: For traces on the outside (not inner layers), expect, in 1 oz copper, at 15 amps, the following temperature rises versus width. This is from Sams' "Reference Data for Engineers," seventh edition, Pg 5-30, which claims in turn to be from MIL-STD-275C... width Temp rise inches degrees C ------ --------- .125 100 .15 75 .17 60 .20 45 .24 30 .33 20 At 10 amps, the rise for the .125 width is only about 30 degrees. Power goes as square of the current, plus the copper resistance goes up as temperature goes up... Certainly .20" (~5mm) traces should be ample for what you want to do. And 2 ounce copper almost cuts the required width in half. (I'd do 2 oz at about 0.08" width myself, I think...given that the _rated_ current is 10 amps and the 15 is a transient or fault condition.)

Hi, looking for any advice or suggestions about a problem I'm having with MIT X11R5's editres, in particular under twm variants. For a start, 9 times out of 10 (but NOT always) editres won't grab a widget tree when running on our NCD (Decwindows) Xterms, which I'm told will be fixed when the R5 (not R4) XDm is installed. OK, so I tried running it on a Sun, running real R5, on the same network - I get a widget tree, but it's ALWAYS for 'TWM Icon Manager' Anybody know of any patches for (a) twm or (b) editres that I should look at?

The idea of the U.S, or any other nation, taking action, i.e., military intervention, in Bosnia has not been well thought out by those who advocate such action. After the belligerants are subdued, it would require an occupation force for one or two generations. If you will stop and think about it, you will realize that these people have never forgotten a single slight or injury, they have imbibed hatred with their mother's milk. If we stop the fighting, seize and destroy all weapons, they will simply go back to killing each other with clubs. And the price for this futility will be the lives of the young men and women we send there to die. A price I am unwilling to even consider. There is no valid comparison to the Holocaust. All of the Jewish people that I have known as friends were not brought up to hate. To be wary of others, most certainly, but not to hate. And except for the Warsaw uprising, they were unarmed (and even in Warsaw badly out-gunned). It is very easy to speak of muscle when they are someone else's muscles. Suppose we do this thing, what will you tell the parents, wives, children, lovers of those we are sending to die? That they gave their lives in some noble cause? Noble cause, separating some mad dogs who will turn on them. Well, I will offer you some muscle. Suppose we tell them that they have one week (this will give foreign nationals time to leave) to cease their bloodshed. At the end of that week, bring in the Tomahawk firing ships and destroy Belgrade as they destroyed the Bosnian cities. Perhaps when some of their cities are reduced to rubble they will have a sudden attack of brains. Send in missiles by all means, but do not send in troops. By all means lift the embargo. Which killers? Do you honestly believe they are all on one side?

Can anybody tell me how to use the Xmu function "XmuCvtStringToWidget". I want to specify a widget name in a resource file so that I can connect two widgets together on an XmForm. ie. MyProggy*MyListSW.topWidget: MainTextSW However, when I run the program, I get the message: Warning: No type converter registered for 'String' to 'Window' conversion. (Just like the manual sez). I have managed to find this bit of code which seems to be the correct way to go about this: static XtConvertArgRec parentCvtArgs[] = { { XtWidgetBaseOffset, (XtPointer)XtOffsetOf( CoreRec, core.parent ), sizeof(CoreWidget) } }; XtSetTypeConverter( XtRString, XtRWidget, XmuCvtStringToWidget, parentCvtArgs, XtNumber(parentCvtArgs), XtCacheAll, NULL ); However, I haven't got a clue where to put it! The example code I have seems to suggest I can only do this if I am creating my own widget; but elsewhere it says that I can add it to a widget's "class_intialize" function. HOW? What's one of those? :-( If anybody has any code to do this, please let me know the trick - I'm sure this is a FAQ. Thanks in advance, Rik. PS: What are the header files "CoreP.h" and "IntrinsicsP.h" - should I use these or "Core.h" and "Intrinsics.h" (OK I know RTFM:-)

I just installed a Motorola XC68882RC50 FPU in an Amiga A2630 board (25 MHz 68030 + 68882 with capability to clock the FPU separately). Previously a MC68882RC25 was installed and everything was working perfectly. Now the systems displays a yellow screen (indicating a exception) when it check for the presence/type of FPU. When I reinstall an MC68882RC25 the system works fine, but with the XC68882 even at 25 MHz it does not work. The designer of the board mentioned that putting a pullup resistor on data_strobe (470 Ohm) might help, but that didn't change anything. Does anybody have some suggestions what I could do? Does this look like a CPU-FPU communications problem or is the particular chip dead (it is a pull, not new)? Moreover, the place I bought it from is sending me an XC68882RC33. I thought that the 68882RC33 were labeled MC not XC (for not finalized mask design). Are there any MC68882RC33?

Atoms are not objective. They aren't even real. What scientists call an atom is nothing more than a mathematical model that describes certain physical, observable properties of our surroundings. All of which is subjective. What is objective, though, is the approach a scientist takes in discussing his model and his observations. There is no objective science. But there is an objective approach which is subjectively selected by the scientist. Objective in this case means a specified, unchanging set of rules that he and his colleagues use to discuss their science. This is in contrast to your Objective Morality. There may be an objective approach to subjectively discuss your beliefs on morality. But there exists no objective morality. Also, science deals with how we can discuss our observations of the physical world around us. In that the method of discussion is objective ( not the science; not the discussion itself ). Science makes no claims to know the whys or even the hows sometimes of what we can observe. It simply gives us a way to discuss our surroundings in a meaningful, consistent way. I think it was Neils Bohr who said (to paraphrase) Science is what we can _say_ about the physical world.

# I hope I gave you a fairly solid answer to this one: I simply don't agree # with the embodied version of a Satan who is a separate creation or a force. # And there are quite physical descriptions of Heaven and Hell in the # Holy Qur'an, the Bible, etc. There have been times in the spiritual # and intellectual evolution of the modern human when these physical # descriptions of Heaven, Hell, and Satan were taken quite literally # and that *worked* for the time. As I mentioned in the Tradition # cited above, for example, it was sufficient in the absence of a theory # about germs and disease spread by worms to simply describe the "evil" # which was passed to a consumer of spoiled food as "satanic." Which begs the question: if Satan in this case is metaphorical, how can you be certain Allah is not the same way? # The bottom line here, however, is that describing a spiritual plane # in human language is something like describing "color" to a person # who has been blind from birth. You may want to read the book # FLATLAND (if you haven't already) or THE DRAGON'S EGG. The first # is intended as a light hearted description of a mathematical con- # cept... [some deleted for space saving] # When language fails because it cannot be used to adequately describe # another dimension which cannot be experienced by the speakers, then # such conventions as metaphor, allegory, and the like come to be # necessary. The "unseen" is described in terms which have reference` # and meaning for the reader/listener. But, like all models, a compro- # mise must be made when speaking metaphorically: clarity and directness # of meaning, equivalence of perception, and the like are all # crippled. But what else can you do? This is why I asked the above. How would you then know God exists as a spirit or being rather than just being metaphorical? I mean, it's okay to say "well, Satan is just metaphorical," but then you have to justify this belief AND justify that God is not some metaphor for something else. I say this because there are many, many instances of Satan described as a being (such as the tormentor in the Old Testament book of Job, or the temptor in the New Testament Gospels). In the same way, God too is described as a being (or spirit.) How am I to know one is metaphorical and not the other. Further, belief in God isn't a bar to evil. Let's consider the case of Satanists: even if Satan were metaphorical, the Satanist would have to believe in God to justify this belief. Again, we have a case where someone does believe in God, but by religious standards, they are "evil." If Bobby does see this, let him address this question also.

It is funny how this one little quote from Genesis is treated by certain anti-Christians as if Christians have been given a firm command to destroy the earth. You could prove almost anything by taking little quotes out of context from the Bible - it's a big book, you know. I doubt you could find a single case of a anti-ecological action taking place specifically because teh perpetrator was motivated by a Christian belief. As for the Nazis, they were motivated by German Nationalism, not by Christianity. In fact they despised Christianity as a weak pacifist religion, and were much more keen on pagan glorification of strength and warfare. They killed the Jews because they were not Germans, not because they were "Christ-killers" - they were just as keen on killing the other non-German ethnic minority, the Romanies or Gypsies.

This was (my opinion) the stupidest thing in the Hidden Game. The argument was 1) Defense, or runs allowed, is 50% of the game. 2) Unearned runs amount to 12% of the runs allowed; earned runs, 88%. 3) Since unearned runs are the result of fielding, not pitching, and earned runs are the product of pitching, not fielding, fielding is 12% of defense and pitching is 88% of defense. 4) Caombining with #1, pitching is 44% of the game, fielding 6%. Pete is usually sharper than that. My own feel is that fielding is in the 25-33% of defense range; call it 30-70 between fielding and pitching. I'd give baserunning a little more credit than that, maybe 45-5, or even 40-10. Give a team of Roberto Alomar and a team of John Oleruds identical batting stats (which wouldn't be that unreasonable), and even if you don't let Roberto steal a single base, they'll score a lot more than the Oleruds by going first-to-third more often.

The third-party media adapters are usually cheaper (at least in Toronto) than Apple's. I bought the adapters from Asante instead of Apple. That's not true. Only the DECstation 5000/200 comes with a Thinwire (BNC, coaxial) Ethernet connector. The 5000/25, 5000/133 and 5000/240 all have a single 15-pin AUI Ethernet connector only. I distinctly remembered this because when got the 5000/200 first and I thought all of them are going to be Thinwire. I eventually had to go back and ordered DESTAs (DEC's oversized version of an AUI-to-BNC adapter that MUST be used with a transciever cable) for the rest of the stations. My advise to the very original poster (Beverly?) is: (1) If all you want is to create a LAN with two workstations and won't add machines to it EVER, go for Thinwire regardless of the media type. Going for UTP (unshielded twisted pair) wiring requires a concentrator which means extra money and I believe these units come with at least 6 ports. As for Thicknet, it's a nightmare and cabling is expensive. Avoid it unless you have no choice (e.g. the two machines are two floors parts). (2) On the Mac side, you will need: - one Thinwire media adapter (from Apple or third-party). - MacX (make sure you get version 1.2; 1.1.7 won't run on System 7.1). - MacTCP (which comes with MacX; if you get MacX v1.2, you should be getting MacTCP v1.1.1 with it. Don't use earlier versions on a Centris). - you may or may not need a 25ohm terminator depending on the Thinwire media adapter. So just ask the sales if the adapter is self-terminated or not. - configure MacTCP to use "Ethernet". (3) On the DECstation side, you will need: - for a Model 200, you will only need a T-connector. - for Models 25, 125, 133, 240, you will need an AUI-to-BNC adapter. Get one that can be plugged in directly to the AUI port of the DECstation. This way you save the cost of a transciever cable (a 15-pin AUI male to a 15-pin AUI female cable). - get a 25ohm terminator. Your two-machine network will look like this: ##T----------------------------------------------[] +-----+ | | | | +-----+ +-----+ | | +-----+ DECstation Centris 5000/200 650 OR ##T----------------------------------------------[] {=} | +-----+ | | | +-----+ +-----+ | | +-----+ DECstation Centris 5000/25,125,133,240 650 ## -> 25ohm terminator T -> T connector --- -> Thinwire (RG58 coaxial cable) {=} -> AUI-to-BNC (i.e. Thick-to-Thin) adapter [] -> Thickwire media adapter (assuming self-terminated) | | Andy

Secrecy in Clipper Chip The serial number of the clipper chip is encrypted with the system key and transmitted as one part of a three part message. Presumably the protocol can be recovered (if by nothing else, differential analysis). Postulate if you will, a chip (or logic) sitting between the clipper chip and its communications channel. The purpose of this chip is twofold: 1) Transmit Channel The spoof chip XORs the 30 bit encrypted serial number with a secondary keying variable. This renders the serial number unrecoverable with just the system key 2) Recieve Channel The spoof chip XORs the incoming encrypted serial number with a secondary keying variable (assuming the serial number is necessary for local operation). This has the net result of hiding the serial number. This gets more interesting when the number of serial numbers issued becomes large, making it difficult to distinguish between valid serial numbers and a spoofed serial number. Without knowing the system key, you could lie about the serial number, but risk detection of the lie. IF you had the system key and the encryption algorithm you could successfully lie with a lower probability of detection by emulating the format of your own serial number.

Almost all window managers (twm, mwm, olwm and their derivates) support escape sequences for it. For your purpose put following into your .login (if you're using csh or tcsh), for sh you have to modify it. if ( "$term" == "xterm" ) then echo "^[]2;${LOGNAME}@${HOST}^G^[]1;${HOST}^G" endif Note, ^[ stands for <Esc>, in vi you can enter it by pressing Ctrl-V and the <Esc>. Same for ^G, it means Ctrl-G. In vi: press Ctrl-V and then Ctrl-G. The first sequence puts the string into the title bar the second in the icon. BTW, you can also put the current working directory in the title bar if you make an alias for cd: alias cd 'cd \!* ; echo "^[]2;${LOGNAME}@${HOST}: ${cwd}^G"' greetings, Thomas

I will again *repeat* my statement: 1) I *do not* condone these *indiscriminate* Israeli acts (nor have I *ever*, 2) If the villagers do not know who these "guerillas" are (which you stated earlier), how do you expect the Israelis to know? It is **very** difficult to "identify" who they are (this *is why* the "guerillas" prefer to lose themselves in the general population by dressing the same, acting the same, etc.). I agree; but, because Lebanon was either unwilling or unable to stop these attacks from its territory should Israel simply sit quietly and accept its situation? Israel asked the Lebanese government over and over to control this "third party state" within Lebanese territory and the attacks kept occuring. At **what point** does Israel (or ANY state) have the right to do something ITSELF to stop such attacks? Never? It is also the responsibility of *any* state to NOT ALLOW *any* outside party to use its territory for attacks on a neighboring state. If 1) Angola had the power, and 2) South Africa refused (or couldn't) stop anti-Angolan guerillas based on SA soil from attacking Angola, and 3) South Africa refused to have UN troops stationed on its territory between it and Angola, would Angola be justified in entering SA? If not, are you saying that Angola HAD to accept the situation, do NOTHING and absorb the attacks? I refered above *at all times* to the Palestinian attacks on Israel from Lebanese soil, NOT to Lebanese attacks on Israel. One hopes that a Lebanese government will be strong enough to patrol its border but there is NO reason to believe it will be any stronger. WHAT HAS CHANGED is that the PLO was largely *driven out* of Lebanon (not by the Lebanese, not by Syria) and THAT is by far the most important making it EASIER to control future Palestinian attacks from Lebanese soil. That **change** was brought about by Israeli action; the PLO would *never* have been ejected by Lebanese, Arab state or UN actions. I fully recognize that the Lebanese do NOT WANT to be "used" by EITHER side, and have been (and continue to be). But the most fundamental issue is that if a state cannot control its borders and make REAL efforts to do so, it should expect others to do it for them. Hopefully that "other" will be the UN but it is (as we see in its cowardice regarding Bosnia) weak.

I would like to know what people's opinions are about the "real world" differences are between a C650 with and without a coprocessor... I don't use anything like Mathamatica, Maple, etc. I don't use Spreadsheets (at least no sheets with complicated anything), I don't use 3D CAD apps (although I used to), I DO: use 3D renderers, EXTENSIVE communications, I run a BBS, I write software, I write papers, etc... BTW, just for kicks, this is what I was told by my local Apple Rep about upgrading a 68LC040 to a 69RC040 on a C650: "Well, Apple built in an extra socket for the coprocessor chip. That way, you just plug in the coprocessor, and it works." I then heartily laughed and hung up the phone. thanks, -nate

You still need to supply a proper ground for a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter! So rewiring is still a part of this job, however, the ground may be connected to a local earth ground, rather than back at the breaker box. As Jamie said, GFCI devices are required by code in a number of places, most notably: bathrooms, and outside the house. I do suggest the use of GFCI outlets, rather than the breakers. You will end up with much less headaches. Noise pickup in long cable runs is sometimes enough to cause frequent tripping of the breakers. GFCI devices do save lives, if you decide to install them, be sure to check them regularly (using the test button). Running the family business (electrical supplies and lighting) for many years, I have seen too many seasoned electricians fried, because they forgot to double check their common sense list. Please exercise caution. --- Gary Gendel Vice President: Current consulting assignment: Genashor Corp Mentor Graphics Corporation 9 Piney Woods Drive 15 Independence Boulevard Belle Mead, NJ 08502 Warren, NJ 07059

About two months ago I purchased the Adaptec ASW-410 driver for use with a CD-ROM drive. At the time this seemed the thing to do as the documentation I had with my Adaptec SCSI controller said that this is the driver to be used with CD-ROM drives. Since then I have learn that this driver is out of date in a major way and that Adaptec have an upgrade deal for going to the next driver (I think it's called EZI-SCSI or something). I wasn't too fussed about this until I upgraded by CD-ROM drive from a Sony CDU-541 to a Sony CDU-641. I now find that the audio-mode will not work. I assume it is not being handled correctly by the ASW-410 driver. So, should I chase Adaptec for an upgrade? If so does anyone know their FAX number? Any assistance appreciated. Regards BTW: everything else works fine, certainly seems that Sony have caught up with the rest with the 641.

Yes, this is certainly one of the traditional ideas about the Mithraic cult (although not the only one.) It had many elements that seem to have been borrowed by Catholicism (e.g. the Mass, communion, the sharing of a sacred meal, consecration of bread and wine, etc.) For quite an amusing novel that uses this same idea, check out: The Covenant of the Flame by David Morrell. It has some quite interesting occult bits, and lots of killing. I won't spoil it by revealing the ending, but I will say that it is relevant to Mithraism.

This has been discussed before, by several people, on this net. The statement is attributable either to Hajj Amin al-Husseini, former Grand Mufti of Jerusalem - and the leader of the Palestinian death squads during the 1948 war, or to one of his chief henchmen. It was not coined by B'nai B'rith or, for that matter, any Jewish organization.

And armadillo crossings. Well, let's see, in just my own _personal_ experience there's Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Wyoming, Utah, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Montana, Florida, and parts of Louisianna. Nobody said "Let's go into town and drive 130 on Main St." And you couldn't go that fast on the graveled washboard that passes for highway in some parts. But that "only really expensive cars should be driven fast" crap, is, well, crap...
