The defenition of the Underdog is a team that has no talent and comes
out of nowhere to contend. The '69 Mets and '89 Orioles are prime examples,
not the Cubs. I root for the Cubs, because I feel sorry for them, but
basically they are dogs. The Pirates today are a great example of an underdog.
If the Rockies and Marlins compete, they will be underdogs. The North Stars
trip to the Stanley Cup finals was a good example of an underdog's journey.
The Cubs have a good team this year, and play in a weak division, they are much
less than America's Team.

just to satiate my curiosity, why would this make you the stupid one? It seems
to me, everybody SHOULD be aware enough of what is going on. You do not need
to calculate the future position. You need to look at your mirrors a little
more. If you glance around, you will be able to tell how much faster than you
the car is going. Maybe not precisely, but well enough to know if you should
let him around before you try to pass. I know what you are talking about,
about the other driver being startled, because i myself have been startled
by drivers cruising by at around 90-100mph when i'm doin 55-65. The problem,
though, as i saw it, was not their fault for barreling around me, but my fault
for not paying the attention to my task-at-hand that i should have been.
Oddly enough, since the 2nd time(happened 2x in around 4 mo. when i'd had my
liscence for around 6 mo), i haven't been startled..and i've been passed by
cars doing roughly twice the speed of my car. Another odd occurance is the
fact that this only seems to happen on LONG trips...and if i drive along with
them, it doesn't happen at all :-) even on the long trips! :-) (adrenaline
will do that to you...i've had bad cop experiences with speeding, so anything
over the limit is adrenalizing for me...scared i'll get caught :-) Maybe
they should raise the limit, so we can pay better attention.....
just curious, and my .otwo

Note that I said the fall of Rome, not of the Empire. The Roman Empire
lasted until 1453, with its transfered capital in Constantinople. The
main reason for it's fall was not so much the sack of Constantinople by
the men of the 4th Crusade (who were not Christians - they had been
excommunicated down to the last man after attacking the Christian city
of Zara in Croatia), but rather the disastorous defeat in the battle of
Mazinkert. After the Turks breached the frontier, it was only a matter
of time before the Empire fell, the inability of the Empire to hold onto
the rim of Anatolia, with the Ottomans and Rum Seljuks in the middle
should be quite obvious to any student of history. The sack of
Constantinople only hastened the inevitable along. For if the Greeks
had wanted to save their empire, why would they not cooperate with the
Crusaders when they came to do battle with the Saracens in the 1st-3rd
Crusades? Because of their obstinacy over cooperating with people they
considered heretics, even though those "heretics" were fighting for the
cause of the Empire and Christendom in doing battle with the Turkish
hordes in Anatolia, Edessa, Lebanon, Palastine, and Syria, the some
hordes who were to later sack Constantinople, and overrun a third of
Europe (the Balkans, Hungary, the Ukraine, the Caucasus, etc.)

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 . . .

terminated
It is very possible to connect another internal hard disk in any
macintosh if you can find the space to put it. I have a IIsi that came
with a Quantum 80 meg drive. When I ran into space problems, I slapped in
another 40 meg quantum that I had sitting on a shelf. Here is what I did.
First off, I was concerned about space. Since both drives are Quantum
quarter height drives, I finally decided that the logical place for them
was stacked one upon the other. Fine, they fit snugly. (I have not had a
problem with heat yet, and these drives have been running together for
over two months.
The next problem was connecting the drive. If you have a spare internal
hard disk power cable as I did, then half of your troubles are over. just
splice in the extra cable so that you get one square motherboard
connector and two hard disk power connectors. If you don't have a spare
cable, you will have to buy the wires and connectors which can be found
in any good electronics store for about $10. I would suggest properly
soldering/heatshrinking the connections to reduce the possibility of
shorts or bad connections.
Next, you need a ribbon cable connection. Again, I had a spare hard disk
ribbon cable, and I wanted to be careful in case this didn't word so what
I did was purchase a crimp on 50 pin cable connector that gave me another
male connector in the middle of my spare cable. The part cost $10 again,
and is easily attached with any good wood vice. The theory behind using a
crimp on connector is that if this doesn't work, my original cable is not
damaged, and I can go back to the original setup.
Having done all that, I couldn't be bothered to check the dev notes for
power consumption so I plugged it in and it works like a charm to this
day.
In a mac II, everything should work the same. Be careful with the ID's of
the drive, and ensure that the terminating resistors on both drives are
intact. I did not try this without the terminating resistors but it
seemed logical that if I am splitting the SCSI chain, that the signal
should be terminated at all the ends.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Speaking of "die hard", that's what I did when I read this, died hard
laughing!
Toronto, to the Cup finals???
First of all, has anyone on the planet heard of the team from Detroit? Al
Morgani (or however you spell the idiot's name) must be from Chicago,
because on ESPN, he said "it's not even close--Chicago will definatly win
the Norris Division in the Playoffs, no other team is close." Everyone is
picking Chicago! I don't get it, he says it's an "easy choice"?
God, Chicago was 1-4-1 against the Wings, and they won the division by a
point or two, followed closely by Toronto, who is also a good team!
As for the Leafs beating Detroit--doubt it, but even if they do, they
aren't going to get by Chicago. If (even more amazingly) they get past the
Hawks, they would probably face Vancouver, and lose.
As for The Habs reaching the Finals, forget it. Even I, as a devoted Wings
fan, will watch the Penguins easily three-peat as Cup winners. Lemieux,
Jagr, Tocchet, Stevens, and Barrasso, its a done deal. Sorry Detroit, wait
til next year.
But hey, these were Paul's picks, and everyone has a right to their own
opinnions, but the Leafs to the Finals??? Yeah. If they make it there, I'll
walk to Toronto to get some tickets, and that's a 700 mile walk!

: 1) Monitor my phonecalls.
: 2) Monitor usenet.
: 3) Provide only cryptosystems they can easily crack.
: 4) etc etc.
:
: This is not to say that they *don't*, they might. But you don't
: know that they do, and you have no evidence that they do, for almost
: all values of you. It follows, therefore, that for most values of 'you',
: your claims about the NSA border on paranoia.
:
: Andrew
Now I wouldn't be the one to claim that you are injecting some
disinformation into the net, Andrew, but 'paranoia' refers to
unwarranted or excessive suspicions or fear, not those that
have reasonable roots.
Let's start with looking at the professionals, the NSA itself.
Its birth was by secret executive order by Harry S Truman
in 1952. Until even 1976 not even one word of this executive
order chartering the NSA was sealed. Paranoia, right?
On the outside of the NSA complex is a ten foot Cyclone fence
with multiple rows of barbed wire, with high voltage, complete with signs
prohibiting even making sketches under penalty of the Internal
Security Act. The area is completely scanned by closed circuit
television. More paranoia.
These are professionals, Maybe they know something we don't, eh?
Do you think it would have helped Admiral Yamamoto if the Japanese
had been a little more 'paranoid' of their purple cipher?
Or maybe the Germans should have been a little more 'paranoid' about
their Engima with respect to Turing and the British.
How about the cracking of the Zimmerman telegram? Would a little
more paranoia have helped the Germans here?
Maybe the NSA should have been a little more 'paranoid' about
Emma Woikin, or Joseph Sidney Petersen, Jr., or ...
Maybe you want to talk about Macmillan publishers cooperation
with the CIA and NSA to suppress Yardley's Japanese Diplomatic
Secrets or even Kahn's The Codebreakers.. paranoia, right?
The most popular cipher systems in captured soviet spies was
the one-time pad, even with the necessity of keeping incriminating
evidence about, is known to be the only proven unbreakable system.
Soviet paranoia, right?
And what do you think the NSA does with its Wullenwebers? And
huge Rhombics pointed embassy row? And their sites near
satellite uplink and downlink sites? Duh.
When I worked in a classified MITRE communications lab at one time
even with a "secret" clearance I had to be escorted to the toilet
and the entire site was built INTO a Mosler-type vault with *very*
thick bomb-proof door. MITRE paranoia?
I could cite probably a hundred more facts which all support, as
best hypothesis, the notion that the NSA is grabbing as much as
it can, as fast as it can. One would be a fool to ignore the
pattern of facts and conclude that they were random...
And we know the government is violent -- even against children as
recent events prove. Judge William Sessions is a disgrace
but a solemn warning to those who ignore the web of evidence
that our government institutions have in their contempt for our
civil rights.
And of course we have to err somewhat on the excessive side of
caution because that does much less harm than erring on the
reckless side. As member of the crew of the USS Liberty might aver.
I might suggest, Andrew, that you read Kahn's Codebreakers and
Bamford's Puzzle Palace and come back with some more facts to
support your sheepish acquiescence to authority.

Those with PKU have to avoid naturally occuring phenylalanine. And those

I've been using the XmGraph widget that's been floating around and I
noticed the performance is significantly better using Gadgets, perhaps
even 100% faster. I had heard in an old programming course that gadgets
were no longer any benefit to performance, and that it's just as well
to use widgets everywhere. So why would ~50 pushbutton gadgets be a lot
quicker than 50 pushbuttons in the graph? Should I start putting gadgets
back into my long pulldown menus?
XmGraph manages children connected by XmArc widgets in a directed network
type graph with automatic layout capability.

each nosebleed is of short duration.
Does anyone know of any method to reduce this frequency? My younger brothers
each tried a skin transplant (thigh to nose lining), but their nosebleeds

Note that the laws that don't agree with you were passed to protect
a class of people who couldn't get justice from the state courts;
specifically civil rights workers in Missisippi in the 60's. The
federal protection of individual rights supersedes the non-feasance
of the state. Something similar has long been traditional ( well
he's queer so I beat him up...) for gays
As Anatole France said; "The law in its impartial majesty forbids the
rich as well as the poor from sleeping under bridges."
Equality of law can be construed in any number of ways. For example
the fact that all property thefts, regardless of value, are not
punished equally is an inequality which protects those who have
a lot of money from having it stolen. You could easily define
equality to regard the property in terms of it's significance
for the owner. This would a form of equality that would be skewed
toward poorer people.
In fact, most anti-gay bashing laws are constructed to offer equal
protection. They make it an offense to damage people based on a
motivation of hatred for sexual orientation. Thus the law in its
impartial majesty protects hets as well as gays from being bashed.
I'm sure that's a great relief to Douglas Meier.

First, I would like to thank all who sent me their opinions on the matter
at hand. All advice was taken to heart, if not directly used. My friend
found out about the matter quite accidently. After reading some of my
mail, I quit from the mail reader & went about my business. I must have
trashed my mail improperly, because he got on the same terminal the next
day & saw my old messages. He thought they were responses to a post he
placed in alt.atheism earlier that week, so he read some of them before
realizing that they were for me. I got a message from him the next day; he
apologized for reading my mail & said that he did not want to appear to be
a snoop. He said that he would be willing to talk to me about his views &
didn't mind doing so, especially with a friend. So we did. I neither
changed his mind nor did he change mine, as that was not the point. Now he
knows where I'm coming from & now I know where he's coming from. And all
that I can do is pray for him, as I've always done.
I believe the reason that he & I "click" instead of "bash" heads is because
I see Christianity as a tool for revolution, & not a tool for maintaining
the status quo. To be quite blunt, I have more of a reason to reject God
than he does just by the fact that I am an African-American female.
Christianity & religion have been used as tools to separate my people from
the true knowledge of our history & the wealth of our contributions to the
world society. The "kitchen of heaven" was all we had to look forward to
during the slave days, & this mentality & second-class status still exists
today. I, too, have rejected
an aspect of Christianity----that of the estabished church. Too much
hypocricy exists behind the walls of "God's house" beginning with the
images of a white Jesus to that of the members: praise God on Sunday &
raise hell beginning Monday. God-willing, I will find a church home where
I can feel comfortable & at-home, but I don't see it happening anytime
soon.

Hi,
I am in the process of making the decision whether I should
write c++ wrappers for motif myself or use Motif++ or Interviews.
Though I have downloaded the tar files, I fail to see any
documentation. I have two questions:
1) If you have used these or similar c++sy toolkits what has been
your experience?
2) Where do I find reference books /documentation for them?
any and all input will be greatly appreciated.

It might pay to start looking at what this proposal might mean to a
police agency. It just might be a bad idea for them, too.
OK, suppose the NY State Police want to tap a suspect's phone. They
need a warrant, just like the old days. But unlike the old days, they
now need to
(a) get two federal agencies to give them the two parts of
the key.
Now, what happens if there's a tiff between the two escrow houses?
Posession/release of keys becomes a political bargaining chit. State
and lower-level police agencies have to watch the big boys play politics,
while potentially good leads disappear, lives and property are lost,
statutes of limitations run out, etc. Not to mention: a moderately
clever person who suspects the police are after her/him will be buying
new phones faster than tap requests can be processed. Or using stolen
ones. [Will the Turing Police come and arrest you for transmitting
without a dialing license?]
There's also bureacracy and security problems -- within each escrow house,
how will requests for key disclosure be authenticated? Put in enough
safeguards of the kind bureaucrats and activists feel comfortable with, and
it might take a LONG time to get that key. [Even when a request is approved,
how is the key going to be disclosed? Will it be encrypted by a Clipper-type
chip for transmission? In a bureaucracy the size of the Federal
Government, with a databank of the necessary size, and data traffic of
the projected volume, there's going to be a lot of weak links. How many of
these kinds of problems will be open for public or "expert" scrutiny?]
Furthermore, the Feds might be leery of handing completed keys around,
even to State Police agencies: a trust and security issue. This would be
an especially acute issue if some other State's Police had mishandled a
key, resulting in lawsuits, financial settlements, and political
embarassment. So, the Feds implement it this way:
(b) some federal agency gets the keys, performs the tap, and
turns the results over to the NY State Police.
But let's say Cuomo's been causing some problems over a Clinton
Aid-To-Urban-Areas proposal. Or there just happens to be a turf war
going on between the State cops and the Justice department on a case.
Now, not only do we have the keys as a political chit, we have an
extra player in the game *and* we have the tap's tapes as another
bargaining chit. Again, the State Police lose.
I understand that (legal) wiretaps are quite expensive to maintain. In
scenario (b), who pays the bill?

I was part of a study a few years ago at the University of Arizona to
see whether cross dominant individuals (those with a particular handedness
but who had dominance in the opposite eye) were better hitters than
those with same side dominance of hand and eye. I was picked from
my softball class because I was cross dominant (right hand, left eye)
which put me in a small minority (and the grad student was trying to get
an equal number of cross dominant and same side dominant people). To
control the study, she used a pitching machine - fast pitch. Since
I was used to slow pitch, I didn't come close (actually I think
I foul tipped a few) to hitting the ball. If there were a lot of people
like me in her study (i.e., those who can't hit fast pitch, or are
not used to hitting off a machine), I would seriously question the
results of that study!! I think there have been some studies of major
league players (across a fairly large cross section of players) to test
whether eye dominance being the same or opposite side was "better" -
but I don't know the results. (The woman who ran the study I was in
said that there was a higher incidence of crossdominance in major
leaguers than across the general population - but I'm not sure
whether I'd believe her.)

I recently bought a monichrome VGA monitor for $99 that will do
1024x768 non-interlaced, which seems like a good deal. However, it is
a fixed-scan rate monitor, and only handles 52 kHz horizontal, I
think. With my Trident card it works only in graphics modes 5e and 62
- not much use, since just about any application will set the mode to
something else, especially if it wants to do text, I suppose. Anyway:
- is there any way that I can use this as a general-purpose VGA
display with a 1-meg trident 8900C card?
- if not, can I do so with some sort of different VGA card?

I hope you realize how trivial it is to manufacture these compounds. Given
about $10k in lab equipment and chemicals (which are commercially available)
and given the knowledge that I have (graduating BS, Ch, 1993) I could
synthesize enough of these compounds to make a serious dent in the population
of several major US cities. As also noted, the knowledge is there for
the production of nuclear weapons. It's not even that restricted. The
only thing is the expense.
Now I'm not going around making these things, but it's not 'cause of any
law; I simply don't get any marginal benefit out of killing anyone. Any
law you enact in this respect is only going to give you the ability to
add a charge against someone who does make and use said weapons. In the
case of chemical agents, I seriously doubt that you would even know that
someone had set up a lab until after the weapons had been used.
Part of the trouble with the chemical-weapons ban treaty between the US
and the USSR is that many of the precursors to chemical weapons such as
GB and Sarin, etc., is that they have very valid commercial uses, and
it is very easy to divert those precursors to chemical weapons manufacture
without anyone knowing about it.

Ethnocentric USian that I am, I've assumed that we and the
xUSSR were the only countries with significant capabilities to track
non-cooperative objects in low Earth orbit. Grazing in a couple of
databases recently, I found that Japan has some optical capabilities
along this line, and also uses a radar designed for other purposes
for orbital debris surveys (it isn't clear whether the radar can
determine orbital elements for the objects it detects). Abstracts of
the articles are appended.
This leads to the more general question: do yet other people than
the US, Russia, and Japan do space surveillance, and if so, how and
why?

Radio Research Laboratory, Review (ISSN 0033-801X), vol. 34,
March 1988, p. 23-34. In Japanese, with abstract in English.
This paper reports the optical tracking results of EGS
(experimental geodetic satellite) which was launched on August 13,
1986, by NASDA. The EGS optical tracking experiment process and an
outline of the Radio Research Laboratory (RRL) optical ground <----
station are discussed. A star tracking technique for optical
equipment calibration and satellite tracking technique for orbit
prediction improvement are also described. The accuracy of EGS
tracking data obtained by RRL at the request of NASDA is also
discussed. In addition, it is briefly demonstrated that the
position of the Japanese amateur satellite (JAS-1) which was
launched with the EGS, was accurately determined by means of a <----
satellite tracking video. It is clear from this experiment that <----
optical observation data (i.e., satellite direction data) are very <----
useful for satellite orbit determination during initial launch <----
stages. Furthermore, the results confirm the effectivenes of these <----
two satellite optical tracking techniques. <----

Distributions of orbital debris versus height and scattering cross
section are determined from a series of observations made with a high-
power VHF Doppler radar (MU radar) of Japan. An automated data
processing algorithm has been developed to discriminate echoes of
orbiting objects from those of undesired signals such as meteor trail
echoes or lightning atmospherics. Although the results are preliminary,
they showed good agreement with those from NORAD tracking radar <----
observations using a much higher frequency. It is found that the <----
collision frequency of a Space Station of 1 km x 1 km size at an
altitude of 500 km with orbiting debris is expected to be as high as
once per two years.

Publication Date: Jun. 1986
As the first attempt among MST (mesosphere stratosphere
troposphere) type radars, the MU (middle and upper atmosphere) radar
features an active phased array system. Unlike the conventional large
VHF radars, in which output power of a large vacuum tube is distributed
to individual antenna elements, each of 475 solid state power amplifier
feeds each antenna element. This system configuration enables very fast
beam steering as well as various flexible operations by dividing the
antenna into independent subarrays, because phase shift and signal
division/combination are performed at a low signal level using
electronic devices under control of a computer network. The antenna
beam can be switched within 10 microsec to any direction within the
zenith angle of 30 deg. Since a precise phase alignment of each element
is crucial to realize the excellent performance of this system, careful
calibration of the output phase of each power amplifier and antenna
element was carried out. Among various aircraft which may be used for
this purpose artificial satellites have an advantage of being able to
make a long term monitoring with the same system. An antenna pattern
monitoring system for the MU radar was developed using the scientific
satellite OHZORA (EXOS-C). A receiver named MUM (MU radar antenna
Monitor) on board the satellite measures a CW signal of 100 to 400
watts transmitted from the MU radar. The principle of the measurement
and results are discussed.

1) Why would anyone borrow money from themselves at interest?
The Federal government does * NOT * * NOT *
The Federal reserve Bank is private. The American people are
being ripped off royally. 100% of the income tax goes to pay
on the Federal debt to the Federal Reserve Bankers. Not one
dime goes for services. Services like the military and
welfare come from excise taxes and the like.
2) Why do we the American people stand for this?????

Subject: Zionism - racism
Diaspora 'a cancer'
------------------- by Julian Kossoff and Lindsay Schusman in:
Jewish Chronicle, London, 22. Dec. 1989
Leading Israeli author and cultural commentator, A.B. Yehoshua,
launched a ferocious attack on diaspora Jewry at a Zionist Youth
Council meeting in North London, last week.
The diaspora, he claimed, "was the cancer connected to the main
tissue of the Jewish people". He was scathing about its failure to
act before the Holocaust.
He said the diaspora's religious and secular leadership had
ignored the warning signs in the 1920s, and had fiercely opposed
Zionism. Consequently, he considered the Holocaust, "the failure
of Judaism".
His talk, entitled "Diaspora: A Neurotic Solution", covered 5,000
years of Jewish history.
Mr. Yehoshua's other targets included Soviet Jews who were, he
said "not staying [in Israel], but running [away]", and all Jews
outside Israel "who were using other people's countries like
hotels".
The only conclusion he could draw was that the diaspora was
immoral, because it looked to Israel for its identity but lived
elsewhere.
Worse, it threatened Israel itself, creating a distraction for her
citizens, who were leaving by the thousands.
Mr. Yehoshua, who described himself as "a soldier for aliyah",
ended by calling for the creation of a new "total Jew", living in
Israel.
Earlier, speaking at a meeting of Jewish students on the
difficulties of forging a national identity in Israeli literature,
Mr. Yehoshua claimed that Israeli writers were paralyzed by the
country's political situation.
He said Israel's wars had once provided writers with a vital
source of inspiration. Today, Israeli writers avoided writing
directly about the Arab-Israeli conflict. No major work had been
produced about the intifada.
Instead, writers were tackling themes such as Jewish identity,
emigration from Israel and personal and family issues.
Mr. Yehoshua admitted he also felt unable to write about the
Israeli political situation. He could no longer step into an
Israeli Arab's shoes and portray him as a real "flesh and blood
character".
He claimed that after 40 years of statehood, the problem of
Israeli identity had not been solved. He said Jews remained too
pre-occupied with the borders of identity between Jew and non-Jew,
and were not concerned with the nature of that identity.
Jewish values in Israel embraced every aspect of daily life,
unlike in the diaspora, where Jews had no responsibility for the
country they lived in, he said.
He warned that modern Hebrew, a unifying force for the Jewish
people, would have to struggle for its future, especially in
literary circles. It faced fierce competition from the English
language.

just fine to transmit scrambled vocoded voice.
Absolutely. I just meant that no secure *dedicated* crypto device has
ever been given approval. Guerrilla underground devices should be well
possible with today's high-speed modems (not that I can think of many v32bis

and COM4.
I have the IO adresses and the fact that COM3 shares IRQ4 with COM1 and COM4
shares IRQ3 with COM2, except exactly how this IRQ sharing is done is not
clear especially if the existing COM1/2 does not allow IRQ sharing. Does the
standard??? allow for a different IRQ to be used and if so how.

There's only one way I know of to tell an AR-15 from an M-16.
Pick it up, hold it about a foot from your face and look closely
at the saftey lever. If it has two positions, its an AR-15, if
it has three, its an M-16. There are numerous internal differences
as well, but since one would have to field strip the weapon to see
them, they are not valid in this discussion. So, in conclusion,
there is very little external differences to distinguish an AR-15
from an M-16 except at close (very close) range.

David,
As an economist, I'm sure you can see the flaws in this logic. If the (naive)
market is flooded with proprietary, but weak, encryption, then truly strong
encryption will be unable to compete. Suppose the govt had a secret TV broadcast
standard, and then sold TVs below cost. Private industry has a better standard,
but it's not as widespread due to the govt early flooding of the market
with cheap proprietary sets. Even though the industry's technology is better,
the programming is being broadcast to the govt's unduplicatable standard.
Who could compete?
The other flaw, of course, is that making something voluntary today ensures
that it will be voluntary in the future. I went to renew my CA drivers license
last week and was required not only to give my SSN, but to PRODUCE AN SSN
CARD to veryify the number! Note that a federal law once said that no state
or local govt could ever require the use of SSNs for drivers license registration
(specifically!).
I do not trust the govt that says "trust me on this even though we could
have an arrangement that doesn't require your trust." Something is big
time fishy. If you look more carefully, you'll see it.

I apologize to the moderator, but the first quote was deleted and I
would like to respond to both.
As for the "goal we can never achieve", the reward comes from the
trying. Paul makes a clear claim that we are to continue straining for
the prize over in Philippians 3:10-16. Only by not living out the
commands do we stagnate and become lukewarm, to be spit out by Jesus.
As it says in 1 John 5:3: "This is love for God: to obey his comands."
That obedience is our straining to achieve for God. Of course, this
requires work on our part.
As for the quote in James, Satan doesn't care what we believe. What
matters is the results of our belief (works). If one truly has faith in
what one believes, one will either act on that faith or be lying to
oneself about believing in the first place.
Stan, as for your first line, you have a very good point. Obedience by
obligation (grudgery) is not what God desires. Instead, look at how
many times the Bible talks about being joyous in all situations and when
doing God's work. Being begrudged by the work has no value. Also, we
should do the work necessary whenever we can, not just when we feel
Jesus' presence. Feelings can deceive us. However, as Paul states to
Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:2: "Preach the Word; be prepared in season and
out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and
careful instruction." Also, remember that Paul tells Timothy in 1
Timothy 4:16: "Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in
them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers."
So, in order to do the work necessary, we need to be sure that we are
correct first. Remember Jesus' warning in Matthew 7:3-5 not to be
hypocritical about what we do. The best way to accomplish this is to be
a disciple completely in both thought and deed.

What, pray tell, does this mean? Just who exactly is *they*?
You mean "they" as in people who do not blindly swallow every
piece of propoganda they are given? Or "they" as in NOKD (not
our kind, dear). Or "they" as in an appeal to some audience
that is supposed to implicitly know and understand?
Read: I do not know what the fuck I'm talking about, and am
not eager to make a fool of myself.
From a pragmatic standpoint, there certainly is some justification
if it is a vice people will commit anyway. Shall we criminalize
alcohol again? If the re-legalization for alcohol were done from
anything other than the pragmatic standpoint, I'd be happy to hear
about it. The fact is that it wasn't.
Only the first one make any sense. There is nothing to "legalize"
about all the rest. Just in case you haven't made the connection
(which I expect you haven't) the connecting theme in this thread is
a persons autonomy over their life and body. Vice statutes serve
only to make it more expensive for the rich and more dangerous
for the poor, as Tim so eloquently put it. People will, however,
take autonomy over their lives, regardless of what the government
says.
And why, pray tell, is AIDS "victim" in snear quotes? Are you of
the revisionist sort that thinks there is no such thing as the AIDS
plauge? Or do they just deserve it?

+ ............The OTIS Project '93 +
+ "The Operative Term Is STIMULATE" +
-------------------------------------
---this file last updated..4-21-93---
WHAT IS OTIS?
OTIS is here for the purpose of distributing original artwork
and photographs over the network for public perusal, scrutiny,
and distribution. Digital immortality.
The basic idea behind "digital immortality" is that computer networks
are here to stay and that anything interesting you deposit on them
will be around near-forever. The GIFs and JPGs of today will be the
artifacts of a digital future. Perhaps they'll be put in different
formats, perhaps only surviving on backup tapes....but they'll be
there...and someone will dig them up.
If that doesn't interest you... OTIS also offers a forum for critique
and exhibition of your works....a virtual art gallery that never closes
and exists in an information dimension where your submissions will hang
as wallpaper on thousands of glowing monitors. Suddenly, life is
breathed into your work...and by merit of it's stimulus, it will
travel the globe on pulses of light and electrons.
Spectators are welcome also, feel free to browse the gallery and
let the artists know what you think of their efforts. Keep your own
copies of the images to look at when you've got the gumption...
that's what they're here for.
---------------------------------------------------------------
WHERE?
OTIS currently (as of 4/21/93) has two FTP sites.
141.214.4.135 (projects/otis), the UWI site
sunsite.unc.edu (/pub/multimedia/pictures/OTIS), the SUNsite
(you can also GOPHER to this site for OTIS as well)
Merely "anonymous FTP" to either site on Internet and change to the
appropriate directory. Don't forget to get busy and use the "bin"
command to make sure you're in binary.
OTIS has also been spreading to some dial-up BBS systems around North
America....the following systems have a substancial supply of
OTIStuff...
Underground Cafe (Omaha) (402.339.0179) 2 lines
CyberDen (SanFran?) (415.472.5527) Usenet Waffle-iron
--------------------------------------------------------------
HOW DO YOU CONTRIBUTE?
What happens is...you draw a pretty picture or take a lovely
photo, get it scanned into an image file, then either FTP-put
it in the CONTRIB/Incoming directory or use UUENCODE to send it to me
(email addresses at eof) in email. After the image is received,
it will be put into the correct directory. Computer originated works
are also welcome.
OTIS' directories house two types of image files, GIF and JPG.
GIF and JPG files require, oddly enough, a GIF or JPG viewer to
see. These viewers are available for all types of computers at
most large FTP sites around Internet. JPG viewers are a bit
tougher to find. If you can't find one, but do have a GIF viewer,
you can obtain a JPG-to-GIF conversion program which will change
JPG files to a standard GIF format.
OTIS also accepts animation files.
When you submit image files, please send me email at the same time
stating information about what you uploaded and whether it is to be
used (in publications or other projects) or if it is merely for people
to view. Also, include some biographical information on yourself, we'll
be having info-files on each contributing artist and their works. You
can also just upload a text-file of info about yourself (instead of
emailing).
If you have pictures, but no scanner, there is hope. Merely send
copies to:
The OTIS Project
c/o Ed Stastny
PO BX 241113
Omaha, NE 68124-1113
I will either scan them myself or get them to someone who will
scan them. Include an ample SASE if you want your stuff back.
Also include information on each image, preferably a 1-3 line
description of the image that we can include in the infofile in the
directory where it's finally put. If you have preferences as to what
the images are to be named, include those as well.
Conversely, if you have a scanner and would like to help out, please
contact me and we'll arrange things.
If you want to submit your works by disk, peachy. Merely send a 3.5"
disk to the above address (Omaha) and a SASE if you want your disk back.
This is good for people who don't have direct access to encoders or FTP,
but do have access to a scanner. We accept disks in either Mac or IBM
compatible format. If possible, please submit image files as GIF or
JPG. If you can't...we can convert from most formats...we'd just rather
not have to.
At senders request, we can also fill disks with as much OTIS as they
can stand. Even if you don't have stuff to contribute, you can send
a blank disk and an SASE (or $2.50 for disk, postage and packing) to
get a slab-o-OTIS.
As of 04/21/93, we're at about 18 megabytes of files, and growing.
Email me for current archive size and directory.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTION?
The images distributed by the OTIS project may be distributed freely
on the condition that the original filename is kept and that it is
not altered in any way (save to convert from one image format to
another). In fact, we encourage files to be distributed to local
bulletin boards and such. If you could, please transport the
appropriate text files along with the images.
It would also be nice if you'd send me a note when you did post images
from OTIS to your local bbs. I just want to keep track of them so
participants can have some idea how widespread their stuff is.
It's the purpose of OTIS to get these images spread out as much as
possible. If you have the time, please upload a few to your favorite
BBS system....or even just post this "info-file" there. It would be
keen of you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
USE?
If you want to use any of the works you find on the OTIS directory,
you'll have to check to see if permission has been granted and the
stipulations of the permission (such as free copy of publication, or
full address credit). You will either find this in the ".rm" file for
the image or series of images...or in the "Artists" directory under the
Artists name. If permission isn't explicitly given, then you'll have
to contact the artist to ask for it. If no info is available, email
me ([email protected]), and I'll get in contact with the artist for
you, or give you their contact information.
When you DO use permitted work, it's always courteous to let the artist
know about it, perhaps even send them a free copy or some such
compensation for their files.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
NAMING IMAGES?
Please keep the names of your files in "dos" format. That means, keep
the filename (before .jpg or .gif) to eight characters or less. The way
I usually do it is to use the initials of the artist, plus a three or
four digit "code" for the series of images, plus the series number.
Thus, Leonardo DeVinci's fifth mechanical drawing would be something
like:
ldmek5.gif OR ldmek5.jpg OR ldmech5.gif ETC
Keeping the names under 8 characters assures that the filename will
remain intact on all systems.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CREATING IMAGE FILES?
When creating image files, be sure to at least include your name
somewhere on or below the picture. This gives people a reference in
case they'd like to contact you. You may also want to include a title,
address or other information you'd like people to know.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
HMMM?!
That's about it for now. More "guidelines" will be added as needed.
Your input is expected.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER: The OTIS Project has no connection to the Church of OTIS
(a sumerian deity) or it's followers, be they pope, priest,
or ezine administrator. We do take sacrifices and donations
however.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER: The OTIS Project is here for the distribution of original
image files. The files will go to the public at large.
It's possible, as with any form of mass-media, that someone
could unscrupulously use your images for financial gain.
Unless you've given permission for that, it's illegal. OTIS
takes no responsibility for this. In simple terms, all rights
revert to the author/artist. To leave an image on OTIS is to
give permission for it to be viewed, copied and distributed
electronically. If you don't want your images distributed
all-over, don't upload them. To leave an image on OTIS is
NOT giving permission to have it used in any publication or
broadcast that incurs profit (this includes, but is not
limited to, magazines, newsletters, clip-art software,
screen-printed clothing, etc). You must give specific
permission for this sort of usage.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember, the operative term is "stimulate". If you know of people
that'd be interested in this sort of thing...get them involved...kick'm
in the booty....offer them free food...whatever...

Hi *,
Has anyone out there compile a list of X security holes?? If
yes, will you please send me a copy of this?? If this is a
wrong group, please point me to a right one. Thanks!!
BTW, the list doesn't have to contain the info "How to use
the holes?". Instead, I need the info of how to detect
the holes, how to seal the holes, and how to monitor the
activities if possible.
Any info is welcomed. Thanks!!

Check out Image Pals v1.2 from U-Lead (until May, special $99 intro price,
310-523-9393). It has the basic image processing tools for all major formats,
does screen grabbing, and allows all your image files to be calalogged into

I agree. Where in the Gospels does Jesus advocate any of the actions
you mention?
I couldn't find "witch" or "sorceress" in my concordance. Is there
something in the Epistles about witches? (I'm still working my way

A 3DO marketing rep. recently offered a Phillips marketing rep. a $100
bet that 3DO would have boxes on the market on schedule. The Phillips
rep. declined the bet, probably because he knew that 3DO players are
already in pre-production manufacturing runs, 6 months before the
commercial release date.
By the time of commercial release, there will be other manufacturers of
3DO players announced and possibly already tooling up production. Chip
sets will be in full production. The number of software companies
designing titles for the box will be over 300.
How do I know this? I was at a bar down the road from 3DO headquarters
last week. Some folks were bullshitting a little too loudly about
company business.

I am using the GLX widget + athena widgets on a mixed-model
application, under 4Dwm, but when the dialog gets popped up, its
text entry field does not have focus. Aimilar code works perfectly if
I use "pure X" (no mixed-model). HEre is the relevant portion of
the code.
{
int n;
Arg wargs[16];
Widget Button, PopUpShell, Dialog;
/* initialize TopLevel here */
.
.
.
n = 0;
XtSetArg(wargs[n], XtNlabel, "Foo"); n++;
Button = XtCreateManagedWidget("FooBtn", commandWidgetClass,
TopLevel, wargs, n);
PopUpShell = XtCreatePopupShell("PupShell", overrideShellWidgetClass,
Button, NULL, 0);
XtAddCallback(PopUpShell, XtNcallback, MyPopUp, (XtPointer)PopUpShell);
n = 0;
XtSetArg(wargs[n], XtNvalue, ""); n++;
Dialog = XtCreateManagedWidget("TheDialog", dialogWidgetClass,
PopUpShell, wargs, n);
.
.
.
}
void MyPopUp(w, popup_shell, call_data)
Widget w;
Widget popup_shell;
XtPointer call_data;
{
XtPopup(popup_shell, XtGrabExclusive);
}

A way I found to give focus to the text field is to move the
application window around a little bit and place it right behind the popup.

That was hardly the point, was it? I was commenting on this all-too-common
Republican attitude that if people disagree with us, they must be idiots, they
must be sheep being led around by the Evil Liberal Media Conspiracy. This is
a dangerous attitude indeed. Because it's not a very big step from "people
are sheep, they can't think for themselves" to "people are sheep and need
firm leadership from we, who know better"... this sort of attitude makes
me worry about what'll happen to the United States if the extremist wing
of the Republican party ever gets back into power again.
Hey! This is a government-funded newsgroup! Let's have some separation
of church and state, damn it!
More like:
Broward: "Clinton's going to raise your income taxes by over $1000!"
Mark: "No, he's not, only about $204."
Broward: (silence)
OK, I predict that in 1996 the Republicans will STILL be bitter. Yeah, yeah,
I know, it's not very impressive to predict things that are inevitable...

Greetings,
Please forgive me if this is FAQ. If there is source on this kind of info,
please let me know. I just got a 286 station (around 21*16.5*7 in dimension),
and I am thinking about upgrade it to a 486 or 386.
The station has a power supply, two floppy disk drives, and the big
case. I have SONY 1304 monitor, SyQuest drive (Mac), and maybe a cd-rom
reader (Mac) for it. Here are the questions I have so far:
1) Is there a 486 motherboard at this dimension that I could use the case?
2) The original owener has the controller for floppy drive and hard disk
removed. Can I use them to control these devices under 486? How much do I
have to pay for a new controllers if the old ones won't work?
3) How can I make SyQuest (SCSI) and cd-rom (SCSI) work on this station?
I heard that there is a cheap sound board that has SCSI controller built-in?
What's quality of this board? How much usually does a SCSI control cost?
Is there any ftp sites that has SyQuest driver or cd-rom driver for the PC if
I can have everything hooked up OK?4) What I want is a 486 motherboard, a sound board to make it a MPC-
quality station. How much would it cost to do that? Is it worth the hussle
than just buy a new 486 station? BTW, I need to buy a keyboard for it too.
Any input is welcome.
Thank you.

I have been looking at some of the recent productions on homosexuality
and decided that I was interested in videotaped copies of these. If
anyone can help me out here, I would very much appreciate it.
Here is what I am looking for:
* - "The Gay Agenda" produced by Ty Beeson's group The Report.
* - John Ankerberg's recent series "Understanding Homosexuality and
Experiencing Genuine Change."
* - James Kennedy's special on homosexuality which aired this week,
and the portion of the previous week's program which discussed "The
Gay Agenda."
I will not pay money for copies, since this is copyrighted material
and that would be illegal. I will pay for return postage. If
somebody can think of something they would desire in trade, please let
me know and I'll see what I can do.
Oh, BTW, I'm watching the March On Washington right now on C-SPAN.
Other than the fact that I'm generally repulsed by what I'm watching,
I found one thing of interest. General David Dinkins just finished
speaking, and remarked that the New York City delegation consists of
about 200,000 people. Funny, I don't see 200,000 people out there,
period. Must've been quite the party scene last night. Or maybe
their exaggerations were just too much.

Although I realize that principle is not one of your strongest
points, I would still like to know why do do not ask any question
of this sort about the Arab countries.
If you want to continue this think tank charade of yours, your
fixation on Israel must stop. You might have to start asking the
same sort of questions of Arab countries as well. You realize it
would not work, as the Arab countries' treatment of Jews over the
last several decades is so bad that your fixation on Israel would
begin to look like the biased attack that it is.
Everyone in this group recognizes that your stupid 'Center for

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
____________________________________________________________________
For Immediate Release April 5, 1993
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
EN ROUTE TO CAMDEN YARDS FOR ORIOLES OPENING DAY GAME
MARC Train
En Route to Camden Yards
11:45 A.M. EDT
Q Mr. President, what do you think of Jesse Jackson's
protest today?
THE PRESIDENT: I think it's an informational protest.
I think it's fine. The owners put out a statement few days ago,
which they say was the first step in, you know, efforts to increase
minority ownership and minority increases in management. I think we
should. I'm encouraged by Don Baylor's appointment out in Colorado.
And I think it's time to make a move on that front. So, I think it's
a legitimate issue, and I think it's -- like I said, it's an
informational picket and not an attempt to get people not to go to
the game. So, I think it's good.
Q Do you think they're moving fast enough?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think that it was a good first
step. And I think you'll see some movement now. And I think it's an
issue that deserves some attention, and they're obviously going to
give it some. And I think that Reverend Jackson being out there will
highlight the issue. So I think it's fine.
Q Mr. President, how about the logjam in the Senate
on the economic stimulus plan? Do you think they'll be able to break
that and get cloture?
THE PRESIDENT: I don't know, we're working at it. I
mean, it's a classic -- there was an article in the paper today, one
of the papers I saw, which pretty well summed it up. They said, you
know, this is a -- it's just a political power play. In the Senate
the majority does not rule. It's not like the country. It's not
like the -- it's not like the House. If the minority chooses, they
can stop majority rule. And that's what they're doing. There are a
lot of Republican senators who have told people that they might vote
for the stimulus program but there's enormous partisan political
pressure not to do it.
And, of course, what it means is that in this time when
no new jobs are being created, even though there seems to be an
economic recovery, it means that for political purposes they're
willing to deny jobs to places like Baltimore and Dallas and Houston
and Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and Portland and Seattle. It's very
sad. I mean, the block grant program was designed to create jobs in
a hurry based on local priorities, and it's one that the Republicans
had always championed. Just about the only Democrat champions of the
program were people like me who were out there at the grassroots
level, governors and senators. I just think it's real sad that they
have chosen to exert the minority muscle in a way that will keep
Americans out of work. I think it's a mistake.
THE PRESS: Thank you.

In response to a lot of email I've gotten, I need to clarify my position.
I am not in favor of paganism.
I am not in favor of the Easter Bunny or other non-Christian aspects of
Easter as presently celebrated. (Incidentally, Easter eggs are not
non-Christian; they are a way of ending the Lenten fast.)
My point was to distinguish between
(1) intentionally worshipping a pagan deity, and
(2) doing something which may once have had pagan associations, but
nowadays is not understood or intended as such.
Many people who are doing (2) are being accused of (1).
It would be illogical to claim that one is "really" worshipping a
pagan deity without knowing it. Worship is a matter of intention.
One cannot worship without knowing that one is doing so.

According to the official documentation, failure to use the IIfx terminator
can not only affect SCSI bus performance but can also damage the bus.
Whether this is your problem or not I don't know. I have had sporadic SCSI
problems with my IIfx since I bought it. (I cannot connect more than three
devices, fourth one causes major problems).
First thing to do is to try to reformat your drive on someone elses system.
If you continue to get errors it is probably the drive. If it formats fine
then I would try to format it on your system with no externals. If this
fails then the SCSI controller on your IIfx needs repair/replacement.
Hope this helps.

In the hopes of adding a little life to, what seems to be, the
same old debates, I would like to add a few bits of info and ask for
comments.
1) A couple days ago the headlines were splashed with stories of proof
that the North Vietnamese had held U.S. hostages after the war ended.
Way back in today's newspaper (Page A7 of San Francisco Chronicle)
there is an article about the document that held the proof.
[used without permission]
"The document, which was discovered in the archives of the Soviet
Communist Party in Moscow, is a Russian translation of what is described
as a September 1972 report prepared for the Vietnam Politburo by General
Tran Van Quang, who is identified as the deputy chief of staff of the
North Vietnamese army."
[later on in the article after it talks about the claim of 1,205
Americans in North Vietnamese prisons]
"Phong said the easiest way to prove that the document is a
fabrication is to review Quang's career. In 1972, he said, Quang was

2) I heard on the radio that the Church of Scientology has filed for
bankrupcy becuase the employees of Cocolat , owned by CoS, filed a
class action suit against them for requiring the employees to pay dues
to become members of the Church. Anyone heard more about this?

: FYI, just last week the PBS show Motor Week gave the results of what they

:
: The one down-side I see with the car is its interior, it looks

I own a del Sol and I must vouch for the interior. I really looks snazzy when
the top is off. I looks a lot better in person than on the television. (I saw
that Motorweek as well. Needless to say I was smiling a bit by the time it
was over ...) :*)
Watch out for that darned "convertible tan" tho...

I have a 386/33 with 8 megs of memory
I have noticed that lately when I use programs like WpfW or Corel Draw
my computer "boggs" down and becomes really sluggish!
What can I do to increase performance? What should I turn on or off
Will not loading wallpapers or stuff like that help when it comes to
the running speed of windows and the programs that run under it?
Thanx in advance

They do. According the the Los Angeles Police Department, illegal
manufacture is one the three primary sources of machine guns and
submachine guns used in crimes (sumggling and theft from the
police and military being the other two.) Washington D.C. police
have stated that 40% (If I'm remembering the figure correctly) of
the guns they conficate were illegally built.
It takes about 6 hours and a few tools to make one (at least one
of reasonable quality). Unless the drug dealer enjoyes messing
around on a lathe (say, as a hobby), he's going to have to
pay someone anyway. Materials plus six hours of a machinist's
time for something legal would run about $100. The blackmarket
prices for guns are usually in the $50 to $200 range (at least
those few I've seen cited in newspaper articles were...)
Washington D.C. has a total ban on handguns and prohibits assembled
rifles within city limits. It's homicide rate is almost ten
times the national average. It is also illegal for a D.C.
resident to drive to the Virginia or Maryland suburbs and
buy a gun (dealers are required by federal law to check IDs
and make sure the buyer isn't from another state) so the ban
can not be easily side-stepped.
Sure. But it you couldn't buy one, you would write your own (in
fact, people _did_ write their own 15 years ago...) More likely,
you would find a friend who was a particularly good programer
and get him give you a copy of his. Software is a _very_ bad
example for your case: How many people do you know with illegal
copies of $400 word processors? If people want something, and
it isn't available (or affordable) legally, they will usually
get it illegally.
Quite.
13-3-2. The formula has been around for half a million years.
Or are you going to restrict sales of sulpher, charcoal and
saltpeter? That's alot cruder than modern smokless powder, but
it works very well. The only real problems are a ~25% reduction
in energy (so a .357 magnum would "only" be as deadly as a 9mm)
and it makes alot more smoke... Of course, a smart black marketeer
could just make the gun in 9mm and steal the ammunition from the
police (the police are often corruptable, and things are known
to disappear from police evidence rooms and armories and
reappear on the streets...)
Perhaps you weren't watching the news two years ago, but the Serbs
also tried to invade Slovinia. They were driven out after a few
weeks by partisans armed with home-made _anti-tank_ weapons.
The Afghan rebels frequently made their own rifles.

Hi,
I've just returned from a visit with my OB/GYN and I have a few
concerns that maybe y'all can help me with. I've been seeing
her every 4 weeks for the past few months (I'm at week 28)
and during the last 2 visits I've gained 9 to 9 1/2 pounds every
4 weeks. She said this was unacceptable over any 4 week period.
As it stands I've thus far gained 26 pounds. Also she says that
though I'm at 28 weeks the baby's size is 27 weeks, I think she
mentioned 27 inches for the top of the fundus. When I was 13
weeks the baby's size was 14 weeks. I must also add, that I had
an operation a few years ago for endometriosis and I've had no
problems with endometriosis but apparently it is causing me pain
in my pelvic region during the pregnancy, and I have a very
difficult time moving, and the doc has recommended I not walk or
move unless I have to. (I have a little handicapped sticker for
when I do need to go out.)
Anyway that's 1/2 of the situation the other is that almost from
the beginning of pregnancy I was getting sick (throwing up) about
2-3 times a day and mostly it was bile that was being eliminated.
(I told her about this). I know this because I wasn't eating
very much due to the nausea and could see the 'results'. Well
now I only get sick about once every 1-2 weeks, and it is still bile
related. But in addition I had begun to feel movement near my
upper right abdomen, just below the right breast, usually when I
was lying on my right side. It began to get worse though because
it started to hurt when I lay on my right side, and then it hurt
no matter what position I was in. Next, I noticed that when I
ate greasy or fatty foods I felt like my entire abdomen had
turned to stone, and the pain in the area got worse. However if
I ate sauerkraut or vinegar or something to 'cut' the fat it
wasn't as much of a problem.
So the doctor says I have cholistatis, and that I should avoid
fatty foods. This makes sense, and because I was already aware
of what seemed to me this cause and effect relationship I have
been avoiding these foods on my own. But I'm still able to eat
foods with Ricotta cheese for instance and other low fat foods.
But doc wants me to be on a non-fat diet. This means no meat
except fish and chicken w/o skin (I do this anyway). No nuts,
fried food, cheese etc. I am allowed skim milk. She said I
should avoid anything sweet (e.g. bananas). Also I must only
have one serving of something high in carbohydrates a day (
potatoes, pasta, rice)! She said I can't even cook vegetables in
a little bit of oil and that I should eat vegetables raw or
steamed. I'm concerned because I understand you need to have
some fat in your diet to help in the digestive process. And if
I'm not taking in fat, is she expecting the baby will take it
from my stores? And why this restriction on carbohydrates if
she's concerned about fat? I'm not clear how much of her
recommendation is based on my weight gain and how much on
cholistatis, which I can't seem to find any information on. She
originally said that I should only gain 20 pounds during the
entire pregnancy since I was about 20 lbs overweight when I
started. But my sister gained 60 lbs during her pregnancy and
she's taken it all off and hasn't had any problems. She also
asked if any members of my family were obese, which none of them
are. Anyway I think she is overly concerned about weight gain,
and feel like I'm being 'punished' by a severe diet. She did
want to see me again in one week so I think she the diet may be
temporary for that one week.
What I want to know is how reasonable is this non-fat diet? I
would understand if she had said low-fat diet, since I'm trying
that anyway, even if she said really low-fat diet. I think she
assumes I must be eating a high-fat diet, but really it is that
because of the endometriosis and the operation I'm not able to
use the energy from the food I do eat.
Any opinions, info and experiences will be appreciated. I'm
truly going stark raving mad trying to meet this new strict diet
because fruits and vegetables go through my system in a few
minutes and I'll end up having to eat constantly. Thus far I
don't find any foods satisfying.
Thanks

I have a Sun 3/60 that has a mono framebuffer (bwtwo0 ?) built on the
motherboard. The same system also has a cgfour (cgfour0 and bwtwo1 ?)
daughterboard. I have been using this system with a color monitor having a
color "front" screen from the cgfour, and a mono "back" screen from the
bwtwo1, both on the same tube. I recentley picked up a 1600 x 1280 Sun mono
monitor, and I would like to make a two headed system with the cgfour0 and the
bwtwo0. I do not care if I loose the "back" screen on the color tube from the
bwtwo1. After looking through the Xsun man page I am not sure if this is
possible. Has anybody sucessfuly done this before?

For the last time, Bobby. Lack of belief in YOUR god does NOT imply
atheism. Just because some moslems aren't moral does not mean they don't
believe in a god named Allah, although their Allah may not do the things
your Allah does. If a moslem says he/she believes that a god exists, he/she
is a theist (though maybe not a TRUE follower of islam).

To boorishly reply to myself, I found I did have the Instrutech information
already. The specs (to use the term loosely) are as follows:
A/D: 16 bit converter, with 14 bit accuracy to 100 kHz, 12 bit accuracy to
200 kHz. No specs for S/N, monotonicity, linearity. There are 8 multiplexed
inputs sharing the single A/D, so that all inputs are not samples at the
same time, and in the above conversion specs the all-channel sample rate
must be used. Thus, for two channels, you only have 14 unknown quality bits
at 50 kHz per channel. This is poorer quality than the national
Instruments, at the same sample rate.
D/A: 16 bit converter. No specs for S/N, monotonicity, linearity. Each of
the 4 output channels has its own converter.

Hmm - I don't think you and I are thinking of the same thing. I was the
original poster, BTW. The accelerator that I'm talking about almost
certainly uses a 68HC000, according to the footnotes in the Supra ad. It
only costs $199 list, so I really doubt if it has a 28 MHz 68030 inside.
It's called the Supra 28, or Supra Turbo 28.
There's an external A500 model, and an internal A2000 model.
BTW, does anyone know if a 28Mhz 68HC010 exists?

Has anybody gotten CVIEW to work in 32k or 64k color mode on a Trident
8900c hi-color card? At best the colors come out screwed up, and at worst the
program hangs. I loaded the VESA driver, and the same thing happens on 2
different machines.
If it doesn't work on the Trident, does anybody know of a viewer that
does?

Joe, just 'cause you say they aren't subject to interpretation doesn't
necesarily make it so. That's *your* *interpretation* of these texts.
2 Peter 1:20-21
But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter
of one's own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of
human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
The study notes in my Bible offer three possible meanings for verse 20.
Apparantly it's not as clear to Charles Ryrie as it is to you.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for
reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of
God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
Galations 1:11-12
For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached
by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man,
nor was I taught it, but I receieved it through a revelation of Jesus
Christ.
When I read these passages, it was not immediately clear to me what
every phrase meant. I had stop and think about the possible
connotations of words, what the intent of the author may have been,
wonder if the translator used the correct English word to convey the
same meaning: I had to interpret. If you want to believe that your
are not interpreting Scripture as you read, there's probably nothing
I can say to change your mind. But I think it's naive to think that
our culture, experiences, education, do not affect everything we read.
In college, I took an entire course in Biblical interpretation. Go to
any Christian bookstore, there are scores of books on interpreting and
understanding Scripture. If interpretation is unnecessary, there are
an awful lot of misguided Christians out there wasting a lot of time
and energy on it.

According to my TI databook, the pinouts for the TIL311 display are as
follows:
Pin 1 - LED supply voltage
Pin 2 - Latch data input B
Pin 3 - Latch data input A
Pin 4 - Left decimal point cathode
Pin 5 - Latch strobe input
Pin 6 - Omitted
Pin 7 - Common ground
Pin 8 - Blanking input
Pin 9 - Omitted
Pin 10 - Right decimal point cathode
Pin 11 - Omitted
Pin 12 - Latch data input D
Pin 13 - Latch data input C
Pin 14 - Logic supply voltage, Vcc
The logic supply voltage is 5V @ 60-90mA. The LED supply is also 5V, but
it need not be particularly well regulated. The LED drivers on the chip
use a constant current source, so LED intensity is not affected by the
supply voltage.
