You think that you all have it bad....here at good ol' Southwest Missouri
State U., we have 2 parties running for student body president. There's the
token sorority/fraternity faces, and then there's the president and vice
president of NORML. They campaigned by handing out condoms and listing
their qualifications as,"I listen really well." It makes me sick to have
a party established on many of the things that are ruining this country like
they are. I think I'll run next year.:(

Well I don't want my tax dollars going to that kind of philosophy.
maybe if the good folks you are talking about are people like you
than I might be inclined to accept it. What does the batf do anyway?
Why don't we have a bureau for militant, paranoid, freedom killers
like yourself. People like you are more dangerous than alcohol,
tobacco and firearms.
Maybe we should just have nuked the whole city, I mean, what's a
100,000 good souls anyway?
Get real, you sound like a racist. I guess life isn't so precious
to you, do you realize that there were 24 children KILLED!!!
They will never get to fall in love, they won't see another sunrise,
no prom, no first date, no football, baseball no NOTHING. Why doesn't
some people think first before they let everyone know how narrow they

As quoted from <[email protected]> by [email protected]:
You don't know much about modern automatic weapons, do you? Just about ANYBODY
with basic manufacturing skill can turn out HIGH QUALITY submachineguns. A
couple of high school shop teachers were recently arrested for building
submachineguns in the school shop.
I suggest that you go to the library and find a copy of "Smallarms of the
World". Your entire premise is based on non-factual assumptions.

If you haven't heard yet, US Senator Patty Murrey, a Mom in
tennis shoes, is planning to introduce legislation to tax
all handgun transactions and increase dealer licnese costs in
order to raise money to cover the costs of un-insured shooting
victums. She plans to start with $2500.00 per year dealer fees
and $40.00 or so, depending on the type of firearm, per gun
transaction. She plans to make it federal.
She was elected in Washington state under the trade mark as
just a mom in tennis shoes. She can be written to via the
United States Senate, Washinton DC. She is looking for your
tennis shoes. So if you have a pair please send them to her
with your feelings regarding this tax.
She claims she has heard little from the opposition.
Lets inundate her!

Hmmm, this gave me an interesting idea. How about this argument:
1) Second Amendment gives us the right to keep and bear arms.
2) Strong cryptography is "arms", according to the U.S. government (that's
why it's so hard to export).
Therefore, we have a constituitional right to strong cryptography!
Q.E.D.
However, it's likely to be as hard or harder to exercise this right as it
is getting to exercise the other rights that the government is slowly
restricting. Maybe the NRA _would_ be the best existing organization?
(Although I think a new one might be better, but perhaps would take too long
to start up. I would certainly join.)

Hi. I was doing research on subliminal suggestion for a psychology
paper, and I read that one researcher flashed hidden messages on the
TV screen at 1/200ths of a second. Is that possible? I thought the
maximum rate the TV was even capable of displaying images was 1/30th
of a second. (or 1/60th of a second for an image composed of only odd

I have an old Mac Plus. A couple of years ago I bought a shiney new lc.
It came with apple's new keyboard (with abd ports). i replaced it with
a mac-pro-plus extended keyboard (which i thoroughly enjoy, thank you
very much).
well, i have this extra keyboard which i would like to use on the plus
but there's a little problem. the plus uses an rj-11 jack for keyboard
input and the new keyboards don't. i got an extra adb cable from my
local apple dealer (they're such nice people), but they couldn't tell
me the order of the wires.
there are four wires in the adb cables: black, white, red, tan. I know
one's a ground, one gets the serial signal, one supplies 5 volts, and
i forgot what the fourth one does. anyway, if you hook them up wrong
you'll fry a board and i <really> don't want to do <that>.
if any brave souls out there have done this before, please e-mail your
experience directly to me. i would greatly appreciate it especially
since apple's original keyboard is not . . . ergonomically correct.
btw, i did take apart my new keyboard to see if i could find the
correlation between the wires for the rj-11 jack and the adb since it
has both, but no such luck (the connections are soldered inside of
little boxes). Oh, well . . .
one more thing: in case you are thinking that the ABD ports on the
newer models are different from the connection used on the plus---
you're right. however, you can use the telephone cable from the plus
and connect the mac-pro-plus keyboard via its own rj-11 jack. in
other words, this little engineering feat i wish to do *is* possible.
it's merely a matter of finding out the correct order.
omt, when i get this to work, i definitely will post the solution
so others can, too. thanx for the input.

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

Here is a summary of Don Cherry's coach's corner from April 18, 1993.
It took place in the first intermission of game 1 of the Montreal-Quebec
series.
Pre-game comments
-----------------
Don's pregame comments were mostly aimed at the goalies... The goalie
who gets back his all-star form (Roy or Hextall) can win the series
for his team.
Eposode Summary
---------------
This episode took place rinkside. Don was holding a hot dog that
he bought from the concession stand.
Ron Maclean started out by showing a cartoon which appeared in the
Toronto Sun. It featured a picture of Don, who just saw his shadow
and proclaimed "Will you look at dat, eh? Means another 6 weeks
of me. Beauty."
Next, Don talked about the hot dog he was holding. According to
him, the hot dogs at the Quebec stadium are the best food in all
the arenas in the NHL.
From there, Don commented on the Quebec-Montreal game. The game
had great flow, because Referee Paul Stewart calls the best game
in the NHL. In contrast, the Calgary-LA game was terrible... All
stop-and-go, over 50 minutes of penalties called against Calgary
by Dan Marouelli. Its getting so that the ref who calls the most
penalties gets to ref in the finals.
Next, Ron showed an old picture of Don, when he was playing for
the Rochester Americans of the AHL. Don recalled some of the
wins that he had in the Quebec arena... during the Memorial cup
and the AHL championships.
Finally, Don and Ron discussed Keenan becoming coach of the
Rangers. The rangers were a talented team who underachieved.
Don feels sorry for temporary coach Ron Smith, who had
several key injuries (to Leetch and Patrick) and goalies who
went cold.
Don had some criticism for the Rangers team... The party's over,
Adolf (Keenan) is there. The Rangers organization will no longer
be a 'country club'.... "NY should be achamed of themselves... If
they go in the tank with Adolf there, they'll be hanging from the
yardarm by their thumbs."
Rating
------
Nothing too special in this episode.
I'll give it a 5.5 out of 10.

We have a user that has Word 5.0 and is using symbols such as pi and
other mathematic sysmbols, plus doing fractions, etc.
The document shows up on the screen with no problems, looks fine.
When she tries to print it on a IIg the pi changes to an upside down
caret, and several other symbols change to double quotes at bottom of
character, plus some little circles appear between words of the fractions
instead of spaces.
This happens on a IIg laser printer. Tried it on serveral macs and two
different IIg's.
Prints fine on an NT and NTX laser printers.
What's wrong???

First I've heard of it. Offhand:
Griffin is no longer an "office" head, so that's bad.
On the other hand:
Regress seemed to think: we can't fund anything by Griffin, because
that would mean (and we have the lies by the old hardliners about the
$ 400 billion mars mission to prove it) that we would be buying into a
mission to Mars that would cost 400 billion. Therefore there will be
no Artemis or 20 million dollar lunar orbiter et cetera...
They were killing Griffin's main program simply because some sycophants
somewhere had Congress beleivin that to do so would simply be to buy into
the same old stuff. Sorta like not giving aid to Yeltsin because he's
a communist hardliner.
At least now the sort of reforms Griffin was trying to bring forward
won't be trapped in their own little easily contained and defunded
ghetto. That Griffin is staying in some capacity is very very very
good. And if he brings something up, noone can say "why don't you go
back to the OSE where you belong" (and where he couldn't even get money
for design studies).

This is not borne out of reality; the old Soviet Union had a very
serious domestic handgun and submachinegun trade, guns that were
of commercial grade because they were produced in honest-to-goodness
machineshops. Why would all production have to be local; don't we
have a road system that is the envy of the world?
I seem to recall incidents in the past where Chinese entreprenaurs
attempted to smuggle AK-47s (semi-autos) into this country to
get around import number limitations (May have been Gunweek where
I read that years ago...)
Any person with high-school drafting skills and vocational school
machineshop training could produce a submachinegun. You talk about
the average person not being able get even a zip-gun; well now, think
of all that private CNC controlled machinery that is not being used for
3 shifts a day; do you think that if guns were being sold on the
black market for say, $150, an enterprising mechanical engineer
could be using that machinery to produce workable submachineguns
for sale? After all, GUNWEEK had an article and pictures on how BATF
was looking for the manufacturer of quite efficient silencers that
were of commercial quality and finish.

No. There are two problems here:
(1) Peter died two millenia ago. The original letters he wrote have
long since decayed into dust. If he were alive today and I could
question him, then this might lend credibility to your claims (but
probably not much, because after all, I've heard people claim with all
sincerity that they've spoken with Elvis recently). But after his
death, Peter's writings were transcribed by monks for centuries, and I
find it hard to believe that one of them somewhere didn't decide to
change the wording of something to make it (in his opinion) a little
easier to understand.
(2) Even if Peter did witness the miracles of Jesus two millenia ago,
that doesn't mean that your deity is what the Bible says it is (God
might just be Satan, trying to convince everyone that he's a nice
guy), or even that your deity is still alive and active in the world
today.
Nice try, but it just isn't enough to convince me, especially since
your wild claims about your deity seem to fly in the face of the way
I've observed the world to work. Please find something more compelling.

Usually one or two teams changes their logo or a minor
uniform change per season, but the past few seasons have been
incredible.
Any thoughts on the new (old) Reds uniforms. I
remember seeing a Pete Rose rookie card, and unless I miss my
guess he was wearing the exact same duds.
The Mets (HOW ABOUT DOC'S PERFORMANCE TODAY?!!!!!) have
reinserted the Mets patch on the shoulder, and changed the Mets
insgnia on the front of the jersey. To my knowledge it is the
first time that has been changed since 1962, and it reminds me
a little of the Dodger logo.
Many teams have opted for a return to a previous style
of uniform, or at least uniforms that look more traditional.
(Phillies, Reds, Expos, White Sox, Padres, etc.) and the once
bright colors have been altered to gray. The trend has also
seen the newer baseball fields resembling the parks of the
early years, as opposed to the cookie-cutter saucer stadiums
construcrted throughout the sixties.
With salaries now reaching unbelievable highs, no one
in the comissioner's office, and inter-league play on the
horizon, it's nice to see that baseball at least looks like it
was meant to be.

One book I have which presents a fairly unbiased account of many religions
is called _Man's Religions_ by John B. Noss. It was a textbook in a class
I had on comparative religion or some such thing. It has some decent
bibliographies on each chapter as a jumping off point for further reading.
It doesn't "compare" religions directly but describes each one individually
and notes a few similarities. But nothing I have read in it could be even
remotely described as preachy or Christian based. In fact, Christianity
mercifully consumes only 90 or so of its nearly 600 pages. The book is
divided according to major regions of the world where the biggies began
(India, East Asia, Near East). There is nothing about New World religions
from the Aztecs, Mayas, Incas, etc. Just the stuff people kill each
other over nowadays. And a few of the older religions snuffed out along
the way.

Reading from a Amoco Performance Products data sheet, their
ERL-1906 resin with T40 carbon fiber reinforcement has a compressive
strength of 280,000 psi. It has a density of 0.058 lb/cu in,
therefore the theoretical height for a constant section column
that can just support itself is 4.8 million inches, or 400,000 ft,
or 75 Statute miles.
Now, a real structure will have horizontal bracing (either a truss
type, or guy wires, or both) and will be used below the crush strength.
Let us assume that we will operate at 40% of the theoretical
strength. This gives a working height of 30 miles for a constant
section column.
A constant section column is not the limit on how high you can
build something if you allow a tapering of the cross section
as you go up. For example, let us say you have a 280,000 pound
load to support at the top of the tower (for simplicity in
calculation). This requires 2.5 square inches of column cross
sectional area to support the weight. The mile of structure
below the payload will itself weigh 9,200 lb, so at 1 mile
below the payload, the total load is now 289,200 lb, a 3.3% increase.
The next mile of structure must be 3.3% thicker in cross section
to support the top mile of tower plus the payload. Each mile
of structure must increase in area by the same ratio all the way
to the bottom. We can see from this that there is no theoretical
limit on area, although there will be practical limits based
on how much composites we can afford to by at $40/lb, and how
much load you need to support on the ground (for which you need
a foundation that the bedrock can support.
Let us arbitrarily choose $1 billion as the limit in costruction
cost. With this we can afford perhaps 10,000,000 lb of composites,
assuming our finished structure costs $100/lb. The $40/lb figure
is just for materials cost. Then we have a tower/payload mass
ratio of 35.7:1. At a 3.3% mass ratio per mile, the tower
height becomes 111 miles. This is clearly above the significant
atmosphere. A rocket launched from the top of the tower will still
have to provide orbital velocity, but atmospheric drag and g-losses
will be almost eliminated. G-losses are the component of
rocket thrust in the vertical direction to counter gravity,
but which do not contribute to horizontal orbital velocity. Thus
they represent wasted thrust. Together with drag, rockets starting
from the ground have a 15% velocity penalty to contend with.
This analysis is simplified, in that it does not consider wind
loads. These will require more structural support over the first
15 miles of height. Above that, the air pressure drops to a low
enough value for it not to be a big factor.

If your primary concern is protecting the passenger in the event of a
crash, have him or her fitted for a helmet that is their size. If your
primary concern is complying with stupid helmet laws, carry a real big
spare (you can put a big or small head in a big helmet, but not in a
small one).

Even the 68000 can fetch two bytes at a time.
The new instruction in the 68040 is MOVE16 which fetches 16 bytes
at a time instead of 4 which the 68030 has; that means 4 24bit
pixels instead of one.

I think you will find that the active Linux and 386BSD communities are
populated by enthusiasts who would object to paying *any* money for software.
Otherwise, they would probably have gone for a commercial Unix.
An important factor in the Linux community is that source code is always
available (this is probably similar in the 386BSD community, however, I'm not
really involved there). Many people using Linux like to stay at the cutting
(bleeding) edge: ie. when kernel patches, C library or compiler patches come
out, people like to rebuild their entire systems. The prime requirement for
all Linux software is that it is available under a GNU style public license.
Hence, Linux software uses either the Athena widgets or XView.
Individuals may write software requiring Motif, but I doubt it is widely
adopted.

That is a question that can only be answered by yourself and where you live.
If you live in a place where crime is apparent, then it might be a good idea to
get one simply as a deterrent. However, if a professional thief wants your
vehicle, its as good as gone no matter what you do. But to slow down any
thieves it would be a good idea to get the basic options. That would be:
1) ignition kill or fuel cut-off
2) a flashing red LED
These two are basic to a decent alarm system.
To slow down the criminal some more, get a steering wheel lock.
That should be sufficient to persuade the thief to find an easier target.
But, then there's always car-jacking.
Why is life so confusing?
I hope I helped somewhat.

I too have been watching the IIsi speedup reports and plan to upgrade in
the next few weeks. The plan I have is to build a small board with a few
different crystals on it and to be able to switch between the different
speeds using a front pannel switch. This way I can get the speed when
I want but I can also run at slower (stock) speeds it I experience any
compatability problems with any applications. I don't expect to be able
to switch clock speeds with the system running, but if I can switch
without any lock-up problems, then I could switch to 33MHz when needed
and put it back to idle (20 MHz) when not needeed. This would further
reduce the wear-and-tear on the CPU even with a heat sink. Of course
I would not want to run the different clock signals through the switch
but use a chip or two on the board to select the frequency desired and
route it directly to the mother board.
I haven't started probing around inside my si yet. Does anyone know the
voltage level to power the crystal oscilators?

I have a quick question regarding the Rockwell Chipset
that's`come out relatively recently--It supports v.32, v.32bis,
v.42, Group III Fax, and so on... However, I heard there
are bugs in the chipset. I know someone that has a ZOOM
14.4 Modem that uses the chipset, and he hasn't had a problem.
What's the word on the chipset? Is this a ROM bug specific
to a specific brand using the Rockwell, or is it the Rockwell
chipset itself? And, if it is the Rockwell chipset, what
are the chances that if I buy one of these modems (using the
Rockwell chipset), that a) the bug will affect me, b) a ROM
change will fix/compensate for the bug?

I haven't seen anyone post this so I will do the honors.
Maine beat LSSU 5-4 in Milwaukee on Saturday night. It was quite a game.
Maine stormed to a 2-0 lead in the first and looked like they might run away
with it. Maine's first goal came inside the first thirty seconds of the game.
LSSU came back at the end of the period to cut the lead to 2-1.
LSSU came out in the second dominating the play particularly along the boards.
The play went quickly with the refs running a no-holds-barred type of game.
LSSU scored three more unanswered goals to lead 4-2 at the end of the second.
Now it looked like LSSU might just walk away with the game.
Coach Walsh, of Maine, replaced the starting goalie Dunham with Snow, who won
the game against Michigan. Snow proved to be a much more aggressive goalie.
The third period, like the second, belonged to the team behind. Maine scored
three unanswered goals in a span of five minutes after the four minute mark.
They were all scored by Jim Montgomery, the tournament MVP, and all assisted by
Paul Kariya.
The last minute of the game bears highlighting. The change to Snow also
proved the difference in the end. With one minute to go and with the LSSU
goalie pulled, Snow dueled with a LSSU forward in a amazing set of moves by
both. Snow won. It was a great way to end the game.
This year's three championships games were sold out last year in about one
month. The Bradley Center holds approximately 17,700.

Because, the x-Soviet Armenian government got away with the genocide
of 2.5 million Turkish men, women and children and is enjoying the
fruits of that genocide. And they are doing 'it' again. Are you so
blind?
Kurds 'R' us; Armenians 'R' not.
Excuse me?
"We closed the roads and mountain passes that might serve as
ways of escape for the Tartars and then proceeded in the work
of extermination. Our troops surrounded village after village.
Little resistance was offered. Our artillery knocked the huts
into heaps of stone and dust and when the villages became untenable
and inhabitants fled from them into fields, bullets and bayonets
completed the work. Some of the Tartars escaped of course. They
found refuge in the mountains or succeeded in crossing the border
into Turkey. The rest were killed. And so it is that the whole
length of the borderland of Russian Armenia from Nakhitchevan to
Akhalkalaki from the hot plains of Ararat to the cold mountain
plateau of the North were dotted with mute mournful ruins of
Tartar villages. They are quiet now, those villages, except for
howling of wolves and jackals that visit them to paw over the
scattered bones of the dead."
Ohanus Appressian
"Men Are Like That"
p. 202.
A genocide is a deliberate and organized massacre of people in an
attempt to exterminate a race. This is the worst crime in history.
It happened to the Turks in eastern Anatolia and the Armenian
dictatorship. 2.5 million Turks and Kurds were killed in the worst
ways imaginable. It is sickening to think that the human race is capable
of such actions, but there is no denying the fact that the Armenian
genocide of 2.5 million Muslims happened.
People of Turkiye deeply sympathize with those whose relatives were
killed in the Turkish genocide. I understand their anger that there
are those who still deny that the Turkish genocide indeed took place,
despite the fact that the genocide of 2.5 million Turks has been
well documented over the past six decades. We cannot reverse
the events of the past, but we can and we must strive to keep the
memory of this tragedy alive on this side of the Atlantic, so as
to help prevent a recurrence of the extermination of a people
because of their religion or their race.
Source: Bristol Papers, General Correspondence: Container #32 - Bristol
to Bradley Letter of September 14, 1920.
"I have it from absolute first-hand information that the Armenians in
the Caucasus attacked Tartar (Turkish) villages that are utterly
defenseless and bombarded these villages with artillery and they murder
the inhabitants, pillage the village and often burn the village."
Why not?
And the Germans were subject to Jewish Genocide? Are you for real?
Tell me 'Halsall', were you high on "ASALA/SDPA/ARF" forgeries and
fabrications when you wrote that? Where is your non-existent list
of scholars. Here is mine: During the First World War and the ensuing
years - 1914-1920, the Armenian Dictatorship through a premeditated
and systematic genocide, tried to complete its centuries-old policy
of annihilation against the Turks and Kurds by savagely murdering
2.5 million Muslims and deporting the rest from their 1,000 year
homeland.
The attempt at genocide is justly regarded as the first instance
of Genocide in the 20th Century acted upon an entire people.

.......so the list goes on and on and on.....
Now wait, there is more.
Mark Alan Epstein, 'The Ottoman Jewish Communities and their Role
in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries,' Klaus Schwarz Werlag,
Freiburg (1980).
page 19:
<<During the fifteenth century, when the Ottomans were struggling to
reestablish themselves in the Balkans, there was considerable turmoil
among the Jewish communities in Central and Western Europe. Even if
the difficulties of the darker centuries immediately preceding the
fourteenth are minimized, it is easy to understand the attraction which
Ottoman life, particularly when compared to life in Europe, held for the
Jews. There is no way to tell how many Jews left Christendom for the
realm of the rising Muslim Ottomans, but with each account of persecution
in or expulsion from Christian countries it is recorded that some Jews
fled to Ottoman territory. The regularity of these reports suggests that
the Ottomans were considered reasonably tolerant protectors and that
there was a regular trickle of Jewish families moving southward and
eastward from Western and Central Europe. (...) It is evident that the
effects of plague, late crusades, and the general intolerance and
persecution of Jews in Christian Europe resulted in the redirection
of the whole focus of Jewish life which, for more than two centuries,
was to be oriented toward Muslim East.>>
page 21:
<<In the second quarter of the fifteenth century the foremost official
in the Edirne Jewish community was Rabbi Yitzhak Sarfati the Ashkenazi
Chief Rabbi of the city. He was the most important rabbi in the city and
the author of an important letter which tells us something of the situation
of the Edirne Jewry in the fifteenth century. Sarfati himself was from
Christian Europe and supposedly wrote this letter at the behest of two
recent arrivals from there, who, upon seeing the prosperity and freedom
of the Ottoman Jews, prevailed upon him to write their European
coreligionists apprising them of the situation and urging them to migrate.
This remarkable letter advised its recipients not only of the pleasant
conditions in the Ottoman domains, but described as well the ease of
travel to Palestine and the holy places, an attraction to those who
would make a pilgrimage or choose to be buried there.>> (*)
page 41:
<<...the impression gained from the Hebrew sources is that the Jews were
firmly aware of the community of interests which existed between them
and the Ottomans, especially in comparison to relations with the Christians
of Europe.
Confirmation of the commonality of interests between Muslims and Jews is
also indicated by the fact that European Christians perceived the Jews
as allies of Islam and were well aware of Muslim-Jewish cooperation.
Certainly the activity of important Jewish financiers and politicians
representing the Ottoman government abroad did not pass unnoticed. European
sources are the basis for much of our knowledge of their careers. In addition
it appears that Christian pirates plundered ''Turks and Jews,'' their
sworn enemies, and that Europeans considered the Jews to be agents who
regularly reported to the Ottomans.
There are well-known examples of overt Jewish support for the Ottomans
in the struggle against European powers. The two best known instances
of Jewish support for the campaigning Ottomans are the frequently cited
instances of the Jewish contributions to the conquests of Buda, in the
early sixteenth century, and of Rhodes. We also have reports of sympathy
for the Ottomans during the siege of Chios. An unpublished Ottoman
document shows dramatically the mutual interests which existed in some
Greek towns...>>
page 43:
<<It is clear that throughout the sixteenth century it was a generally
accepted fact that the interests of Jews and Muslims coincided frequently,
and all parties involved, Jews, Muslims, and Christians, were aware of
the situation.>>
page 46:
<<...it seems that the relations between Greeks and Jews were not
particularly cordial. The two groups had little in common, few common
interests, and perceived no common philosophical or religious tradition
which could serve as the basis for cooperation, rather than enmity. If
there was any identifiable bond of good will which existed between
religious communities in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, it was
that between Muslims and Jews, neither of whom had much in common with
the Orthodox.>>
page 46:
<<The general impression of Muslim-Jewish relations in the Ottoman context
during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries is one of community of
interests. From the earliest times the Ottomans seem to have welcomed
Jews to their territory and to have found in the communities already
existing in places which they conquered a cooperative element. The Jewish
response to this tolerance was a steady flow of Jews from Christian
countries to Ottoman domains.>>
page 151:
<<From the period before 1453 we have only a few indications that the
Ottoman-Jewish relationship was well on the course of amity which would
characterize it for years afterward, but the liberality of the Ottomans,
in contrast to the intolerance of the Byzantines, and the protection and
the security which the Ottomans offered, in comparison to conditions
elsewhere, leave little doupt that even then both the Ottomans and the
Jews recognized their mutual interests...>>
page 161:
<<It is impossible to say how fundamental the Jews were in the success
of the Ottomans in rebuilding Istanbul or in Ottoman mercantile success
in the sixteenth century. That they played an important role in both
cannot be doupted. It is also unclear whether they were important enough
to say that the Ottomans would not have experienced their great success
without the Jews and that no other group could have been found to serve
the Ottomans as well as did the Jews. It is, however, unmistakably clear
that there are few parallels in world history to this remarkable
partnership between Jews and the non-Jewish society in which they lived.
We must conclude that the Ottomans could probably not achieved their
success without a group performing certain tasks for them as well as the
Jews did. Certainly for the Jews of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries
the Ottoman Empire was a most remarkable and salubrious home.>>
(*) A version of Rabbi Sarfati's [Tzarfati] letter is given by Prof.Shaw:
page 32:
<<Your cries and sobs reached us. We have been told of all the troubles
and persecutions which you have to suffer in the German lands....I hear
the lamentation of my brethren...The barbarous and cruel nation ruthlessly
oppresses the faithful children of the chosen people...The priests and
prelates of Rome have risen. They wish to root out the memory of Jacob
and erase the name of Israel. They always devise new persecutions. They
wish to bring you to the stake...Listen my brethren, to the counsel I will
give you. I too was born in Germany and studied Torah with the German
rabbis. I was driven out of my native country and came to the Turkish land,
which is blessed by God and filled with all good things. Here I found rest
and happiness; Turkey can also become for you the land of peace...If you
who live in Germany knew even a tenth of what God has blessed us with
in this land, you would not consider any difficulties; you would set out
to come to us...Here in the land of the Turks we have nothing to complain
of. We possess great fortunes; much gold and silver in our hands. We are
not oppressed with heavy taxes, and our commerce is free and unhindered.
Rich are the fruits of the earth. Everything is cheap, and every one of us
lives in peace and freedom. Here the Jew is not compelled to wear a yellow
hat as a badge of shame, as is the case in Germany, where even wealth and
great fortune are a curse for a Jew because he therewith arouses jealousy
among the Christians and they devise all kinds of slander against him
to rob him of his gold. Arise my brethren, gird up your loins, collect
your forces, and come to us. Here you will be free of your enemies, here
you will find rest...>>[13]

You obviously don't understand how TV scheduling works. ESPN had
prior contracts to baseball to show Monday night games and had
contracted all the other bs shows well in advance. The NHL TV deal
was very late in the scheduling process (you normally have to do this
one-plus year out. The NHL package was finished two weeks before the
season started). ESPN has shown tremendous commitment to the NHL by
squeezing in extra telecasts when it could (like the last Minnesota
game) and putting Stanley Cup games as backup to their baseball
telecasts (which by favorable circumstances they could pull off last
night).
But the bottom line is that ESPN cannot break contracts at will. They
must honor the previous deals they made. $$$$ _does_ have something
to do with it, especially if you risk a $$$$$$$$ lawsuit for breach of
contract with baseball.
So relax. I'm happy. (I don't get SportsChannel anyway).

"Forced to go to Palestine." How dreadful. Unlike other
undesirables/Jews, she wasn't forced to go into a gas chamber, forced
under a bulldozer, thrown into a river, forced into a "Medical

to nothingness in a crematorium. Your mother was "forced to go to
Palestine." You have our deepest sympathies.
We are pleased to hear of your escape. At least you won't have to

Should we assume that you are refering here to Jews who were kicked
out of their homes in Jerusalem during the Jordanian Occupation of
East Jerusalem? These are the same people who are now being called
thieves for re-claiming houses that they once owned and lived in and
never sold to anyone?
I have never heard of NOT being a Jew as a crime. Certainly in
Israel, there is no such crime. In some times and places BEING a Jew
is a crime, but NOT being a Jew??!!
Our brains do not accept your logic, yet, either.
The way you've written this, you seem to accept criticism in the Arab
world UNLESS it deflects criticism from Israel, in which case, we have
to presume, you no longer support criticism of the Arab world.

There's another point to be made. Those who have been inside burning
houses know that if they want to stay alive, it's better to run out
from the building. We had one case where an FBI agent *had to
drag out a women* from the burning house, she run back in when
she saw the forces arriving. It is a good indication of the fanatical
mind that the followers had -- including having they children burned
instead of saving these innocent victims of the instance.

I don't know, but I'm as willing to speculate as anyone.
Several people have suggested that the chips use public-key cryptography.
Another possibility is to use Diffie-Hellman key exchange, or some other
algorithm which has a similar effect. DH allows both ends to agree on
a session key which they use with symmetric cryptography (something
like DES) for the encryption.
How could the "back door" keys work in this system? I can see a few
possibilities. One is that the DH-like algorithm has the property that
the session key can be deduced by an eavesdropper who knows the back door
keys for one (or possibly both) communicants. Perhaps the random numbers
used in the DH are seeded by the back door key, or some such.
Another possibility, as was suggested here earlier, is that the chips
simply broadcast the session key, encrypted with the chip's own
internal secret key. In this system the back door keys are secret keys
usable for decrypting this session key broadcast. Actually the chip's
secret key doesn't need to be a public key in this usage, but can be
identical to the secret back-door key. (This proposal seems most
straightforward to me.)
Still another possibility is that the encryption algorithm used for the
message itself has a "dual key" property, that possession of either of
two keys can be used to decrypt it. One key would be the session key from
the DH exchange, and the other would be the back door key for the chip.
It's worth noting that one of the proposals Dorothy Denning raised
during her amazingly prescient on-line discussion last November and
December was a variation on Diffie-Hellman in which a third party would
participate in deriving the session keys. This doesn't quite fit into
what we know of how Clipper works but it hints that those who had early
knowledge of Clipper (or whose thinking was somehow synchronized with
Clipper designers) may have had Diffie-Hellman on their minds.

It is actually worse than you think. I have the same problem, and have
given up. Emacs has an internal table (somewhere!) which defines what
keys it will accept, and this table is system-dependent. I use a Sun
from my HP, and cannot get 'shift PageUp' to work - xmodmap is not
sufficient, or at least I haven't worked out how to make it work.
However, I CAN get ordinary 'PageUp' and 'shift CursorRight' to work,
and I do some customised things with them.
Note that the Emacs on my HP has no problem, and I am using exactly
the same xmodmap and Emacs configuration.

As far as I know, tigers are not sentient. If I were pushed into a pool with
some dolphins and they attacked me, I might be inclined to blame the dolphins
rather than the person doing the pushing, as (a) dolphins are not usually
aggressive and (b) they seem to have well-developed brains and a capacity for
abstract thought.
As a matter of fact, tigers rarely attack humans unless the human provokes
them. Of course, if they are in a cage which is far too small, that might
count as provocation...

Hi netters,
I'm using sliders in my XView apps, usually with editable numeric
field. But I seem to have no control over the length of this field.
In some apps it appears long enough to keep several characters,
in some - it cannot keep even the maximum value set by
PANEL_MAX_VALUE!
As I understand, PANEL_VALUE_DISPLAY_LENGTH, which controls
number of characters to be displayed in text items, doesn't
work in the case of slider, despite the fact that <panel.h>
contains the following bit:
/* Panel_multiline_text_item, Panel_numeric_text_item,
* Panel_slider_item and Panel_text_item attributes
*/
PANEL_NOTIFY_LEVEL = PANEL_ATTR(ATTR_ENUM, 152),
PANEL_VALUE_DISPLAY_LENGTH = PANEL_ATTR(ATTR_INT, 182),
which gives a hint that this attribute can be used for sliders.
But 1) setting this attribute gives nothing, and 2) xv_get'ting
this attribute gives warning: Bad attribute, and return value 0.
Can someone share his experience in managing sliders in XView with me,
and clear this problem?
Any help is very much appreciated.

Hm, I've got my CD drive since 921230.
Indeed, CDs are bundled with it.
You usually get nine CDs with demos of applications, games, photos, etc.
I have compiled a list of these and posted it to alt.cdrom.
I will post an updated version of this list RSN.

When I owned an SE, I replaced the fan with SE Silencer, available, I
believe, from MacWarehouse or MacConnection. It comes with instruction for
installation and requires no soldering. Worked like a charm. I think the
manufacturer is Mobius.

I think a case could be made that this is discriminatory, particularly
if an applicant had good board scores and recommendations but wasn't

No wonder American businesses are going down the tubes! :-|
(It's NIST, not NSA. NSA is not supposed to have anything to do with this.)
They didn't say that. They said is was better than some commercial-grade
encryptions. I, for one, wouldn't trust them if they did, unless they
release the algorithm for investigation.
Maybe the ACLU and EFF. (It would have to be a non-profit, so the big 8
would be out.)
I wouldn't trust the NSA. I think I would trust the President on this, but
I'm not certain he would be told.
That's your problem.
I want to emphasize the I am not speaking for Beckman Instruments at this
point. However, we are an international company, and I would like to think
that our customers come first, ahead of our government's whims.

Hi,
I am buying a Quantum LPS240AT 245 MB hardisk and is deciding a
HDD/FDD controller. Is 32-bit VL-bus HDD/FDD controller faster
than 16 bit IDE HDD/FDD controller card? I hear that
the VL bus controller is SLOWER than a IDE controller?
Which one is true?
Please shed some light by email or post.
Thanks a lot.

My apologies! I goofed. The "quick discharge" option is part of the

If you can find a copy of "8088 Assembler Language Programming: The IBM PC"
by Willen and Krantz, 2nd ed. pub. by Sams, there is a discussion of the
game control adapter, monostable multivibrators, and conversion to other
uses, as well as an assembler program. If you need greater accuracy, there
is no reason you couldn't modify the approach to suit your needs.

I took an alcohol server's class a few years ago. (What the hey- my employer
paid for it...)
We were told that the 1 drink / hour rule was written with 80 proof booze
and a 195 pound person in mind. Drinking Cuervo Gold, weighing in @ 140,
I obviously will get drunk faster than the theoretical person mentioned
above. Worse, imagine Rum & coke made with Bacardi 151...
Mind you all, that's for getting too drunk to drive a car. I may only
have been riding for a month or so, but I plan my evenings with a very
rigid exclusive or statement: Either don't drink, or don't ride.
Pretty simple.
Sorry, mike, I have to believe that that policy works best as fertilizer,
even if all you plan to do is drive home nice and "safe" in your cage...

It depends on what kind of the polygons.
Convex - simple, concave - trouble, concave with loop(s)
inside - big trouble.
Of cause, you can use the box test to avoid checking
each edges. According to my experience, there is not
a simple way to go. The headache stuff is to deal with
the special cases, for example, the overlapped lines.

The argument goes as follows: Q-oid quotes appear in John, but not in
the almost codified way they were in Matthew or Luke. However, they are
considered to be similar enough to point to knowledge of Q as such, and
not an entirely different source.
We are talking date of texts here, not the age of the authors. The usual
explanation for the time order of Mark, Matthew and Luke does not consider
their respective ages. It says Matthew has read the text of Mark, and Luke
that of Matthew (and probably that of Mark).
As it is assumed that John knew the content of Luke's text. The evidence
for that is not overwhelming, admittedly.
When they are from about 200, why do they shed doubt on the order on
putting John after the rest of the three?
Sure, an original together with Id card of sender and receiver would be
fine. So what's that supposed to say? Am I missing something?
That John was a disciple is not generally accepted. The style and language
together with the theology are usually used as counterargument.
The argument that John was a disciple relies on the claim in the gospel
of John itself. Is there any other evidence for it?
One step and one generation removed is bad even in our times. Compare that
to reports of similar events in our century in almost illiterate societies.
Not even to speak off that believers are not necessarily the best sources.
In other words, one does not know what the original of Mark did look like
and arguments based on Mark are pretty weak.

Well, they claim they are the only radio broadcaster with this
information. But the city's cable channel (35 in CableVision areas)
shows this information map during travel times (6-9am and 4-7pm, I
believe). Most of the major LA freeways are covered. The
computer-generated map shows green, yellow, red, or flashing red
(respectively: <40mph, 25-40mph, >25mph, and "incident"--I might be off
a little on the speeds, since this is from memory).
I often look at this display in the morning to see if I really want to
fight the traffic on the Sepulveda Pass or work from home for a little
while to wait for it to clear.
Another poster explained the origin of the information: sensors (embedded
wire loops) in the pavement near ramps and every half mile or so. CalTrans
has had a "big board" driven from this data in their traffic control center
for some time. I don't know if they are selling the data or if anyone
with the equipment necessary for its transmission and display can have
it.

As applied to servers, the first three are fuzzy terms. "multi-headed"
tends to be used for any system with multiple monitors, sometimes even
multiple screens even if they're multiplexed onto the same monitor (eg,
a Sun with a cg4 display). "multi-screen" and "multi-display" would,
if taken strictly, mean different things, but since the strict meaning
of "multi-display" would refer to a system with multiple keyboards and
pointers, when it's used it probably refers to the same thing
"multi-screen" would: a system that provides multiple Screens.
"zaphod" is a term applied to the way the MIT server switches the
pointer from one screen to another by sliding it off the side of the
screen.
There is a protocol limitation that restricts a given Display to at
most 255 Screens. I know of no server that handles multiple Displays
on a single invocation, unless possibly my kludges to the R4 server can
be looked upon as such; on a TCP-based system there is necessarily a
limit of 65535 Displays per machine, but this is not a limitation
inherent to X.
What you read was most likely talking about a limit in some particular
implementation (probably the MIT one). If it claimed there was a limit
of 12 inherent to X, the author of the article had no business writing
about X.

Hi,
My name is rahul and I am doing MS at USU, Logan
My query is:
I have a HP workstation: HP Series 400 with X running on it.
I have a true color - 24bit color monitor connected to this machine.
Normally I have the capability to display 256 colors from a max of
16.7 million. Since the monitor is True Color I can see 16.7
million at a time.
Que: do we have a facility in X(c-function call) that will enable me
to specify any RGB combination and see it on screen? I am using
XStoreColor to set the pallette of a max of 256 colors.
Que: If not. Is there any way I can display a true color image
on a true color monitor using XLib function calls?
We are generating ray traced images and 256 colors are indeed a
painful limit. besides I need the facility to display the true color images
i will be generating on a true color system WITHOUT color
quantification.
Please, if anyone can help i'd be obliged

Sorry, but I really can't figure out what you're trying to say, above.
Not exactly:
"An unconstitutional act is not law; it confers no rights; it imposes
no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal
contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed."
Norton vs. Shelby County, 118 US 425 p.442
"The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the
form and name of law, is in reality no law, but is wholly void, and
ineffective for any purpose; since unconstitutionality dates from the
time of it's enactment, and not merely from the date of the decision so
branding it."
"No on is bound to obey an uncontitutional law, and no courts are
bound to enforce it."

From: Center for Policy Research <cpr>
Subject: Hebrew labor: racist connotations
AVODA IVRIT - HEBREW LABOR
---------------------------------
"Hebrew labor" is a concept which has served the Zionist movement
for a long time. It has a double-barreled message: 1) The new Jew
must learn to do physical labor, i.e. working the land; 2) The
land in this country must pass into Jewish hands, i.e. to the same
new Jew who has "learned" to work it. Both aspects of the
two-pronged concept of "Hebrew labor" have racist connotations. On
the one hand, the diaspora Jew's lack of training in physical
labor is a myth shared by Zionists and antisemites. On the other
hand, its meaning in practice has been the displacement of the
Arab farmer from the source of his livelihood.
The occupation and the cheap Palestinian labor which streamed from
the occupied territories to the factories, orchards, and
hot-houses of Israel relegated the myth of "Hebrew labor" to the
history books and nostalgic memories of the Zionist Movement. It
has blossomed forth anew, however, as the government's answer to
problems caused by the closure of the territories. Today too this
concept has two functions: 1) to give a progressive look to the
closing of the Palestinian population. Or in the words of
Environment Minister Yossi Sarid, "I have no tears for those who
get rich off of cheap labor". 2) to furnish an answer to the
unemployed Israeli who complains of being obliged to work for
wages that are lower than the unemployment insurance he receives.

I guess 100k, connecting pins 1-3 (1x), 1-6 (1y), 9-11 (2x), and 9-13 (2y).
Or: Get an 8-bit DA-Converter (merely a couple of transistors and
Resistors) and an OpAmp to compare its output to the voltage you want to
measure, connect them to a spared printer port (if you have one), and do
the rest by software (stepwise refinement). The port addresses for your
printer ports are probably: &H378 (LPT1), &H278 (LPT2). This should work
well enough for your purposes.
Hope this helps

I don't know if this is the sort of thing you guys like
to discuss. I guess it falls into the area of apologetics.
This is a question that seems to pop up now and again in
conversations with non-christians. It usually appears in
the following sort of unqualified statement:
"Well you know that religion has caused more wars than
anything else"
It bothers me that I cannot seem to find a satisfactory
response to this. After all if our religion is all about
peace and love why have there been so many religious wars?
Personally I am of the view that religion has often been
used as an excuse to instigate wars often to disguise
national ambitions but I would love to hear what anyone
else has to say about this subject.
Thanks in advance

I lived there until July 1992 so I think that on the whole,
my input is relevant.
Those are two separate questions. Obviously, Israeli authorities do
recognize Israeli nationality for some purposes, e.g. passports,
consular services, etc... ID cards have a field of nationality
which is a subdivision of the above. Ostensibly, this field
is provided for sevices provided by the religious departments
of the gov't, though this is not the general case.
From its onset, Israel's borders have been shaped and reshaped by both
war and peace. As such, the Israeli gov't has always felt that defining
its borders is a step that is meaningful only after peace treaties have
been conluded with its neighbors. There is no plan for "ultimate borders"
(is this a game like "ultimate frisbee"?) extending into other countries.
Aside from what Vaanunu provided, no.
If that is true, then by virtue of the question's subject, it is
unanswerable. Anyone who claims its validity. is claiming an oxymoron.
That having been said, I deny the above.
You go on to ask quite a number of questions that show an obvious
bias. Questions of the sort "Is it true that you entered your
mother's vagina?" which are based upon some kernel of truth, though
phrased in a way as to render them repugnant and cast aspersions
upon Israel. Incidentally, the answer to the above is usually yes,
unless you were born via a C-section.

I have been building X11 with gcc since 2.1 and the only time I had
trouble was when the position independant code option broke (so I
couldn't use gcc to build Sun shared libraries). The important thing to
do is to follow the tips given in the gcc release. Gcc generates code
that requires libgcc2 and you should take that into account when
deciding which compiler to use for the libraries.

that she has great difficulty sleeping at night. She says that she hasn't
had a normal night's sleep in about 6 months (she looks like it too :-().
This is making her depressed so her doctor has put her on anti-depressants.
The ringing started rather suddenly about 6 months ago. She is quickly losing
sleep, social life and sanity over this.
Does anyone know of any treatments for this? Any experience? Coping
mechanisms? Any opinions on the anti-depressant drugs?
