Today there are many fences, but most of the lots are still an acre or more (on my street). The orchards are mostly gone. The grazing land and chicken farm that was behind us is now a senior's apartment complex. Houses going up all over. So it was certainly rural, and my area retains some of the flavor, but suburban sprawl is here. Along with traffic, which got much worse when they put in the traffic signal. (just because a few idiots got maimed or killed every month trying to cross major two-way traffic instead of going around the block) From spamcop-social@news.spamcop.net Fri Nov 1 02:11:29 2002 From: spamcop-social@news.spamcop.net (Heidi) Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2002 21:11:29 -0500 Subject: [SpamCop-Social] Re: Thomas Kinkade, Painter of Shlock...

I think that was it, it had something to do with water. Like anything that got caught in it got dehydrated. Supposedly you can eat it even after thousands of years. Amazing if you do a websearch on it, how many pages have swiped the exact same source. It was like the same sentence over and over. And nobody would give a scientific reason.

Excuse me, but an Audi is a VW and they are mass produced and plastic. The A3 is built on the Golf platform - it's 90% the same car - only it costs a lot more.

Then I can decide for myself what to think. (And it doesn't even take any effort to decide for myself. TV zombies do not have this liberty. If they want an alternate view of the world they must fight in themselves against things that they've SEEN. That ain't easy.) Additionally, the news is so full of annecdotal bs that it's not even funny. "Let's go to our man on the street..." and put up the most/least photogenic people that we find. "I'm so scared!"

This system will have the first 6 digits for the publication's title, the next 3 for the media format, and the final 3 for the fulfillment location. For example: Neil's Cookbook Vol 1 - CD-ROM - US Fulfillmet = 000001001001 Where the title of the publication 'Neil's Cookbook Vol 1' is 000001 CD-ROM media format is 001 US Fulfillment is 001 It may or may not be possible to include a dash, stroke, or some other character to delimite the number groupings. However, for now, I'd like to try and come up with something that is just 12 characters. The obvious limitation with that simple example, is that it looks like a binary number, and while this is fine for comps, is not so easy to read for humans, nor manually enter into the system, which will be required. There are currently upto 200 unique publication titles, upto 10 media formats, and 3 fulfillment locations. The 6-3-3 system will allow plenty of room for growth, while also allowing for further sub-grouping should this be of use. For example: Cookbooks 100001 - 199999 Cooking Magazines 200001 - 299999 Loose Recipe Binder 300001 - 399999 etc. I can also go with an alpha-numeric system, although would only wish to use this if advantageous. The main concern I have, is with having too many zeros together, or where numbers could easily become transposed. Open to all thoughts, comments, or advice from anyone that has implemented something similar. Thanks.

We, too, have people coming in - not in busloads, but in carloads - because our neighborhood has a good reputation and we are the county seat in a rural area. Usually I have lots of other things than candy to give out - like "Shells from the Atlantic Ocean" (also Pacific and Gulf Coast) as well as gewgaws I have saved during the year and origimi cranes I fold from catalogs, but didn't have the git up and go to drag them all out last night. Instead I put on my feather mask, black sweater and skirt, cobweb stockings (courtesy of Big Lots), Halloween pins (courtesy of daughter and daughter-in-law), and Halloween face glitter (courtesy of daughter), and teased my hair. We put the CD of screaming women on and when I answered the door, I said "What do you want? I'm having a party!" Had quite a few not answer until the littlest one in the group said, "We want candy." Had two turn and walk away! For some older ones who said, "Sounds like a blast." I said, "Too bad you aren't invited." The only problem was my husband had no fun because his job was to turn the stereo on - and the cat couldn't decide whether it was safer outside or in! We went thru 6 or 7 bags of candy in two hours. -- Miss Betsy, an almost new spamcop user From spamcop-social@news.spamcop.net Fri Nov 1 23:46:06 2002 From: spamcop-social@news.spamcop.net (Redstone) Date: Fri, 01 Nov 2002 18:46:06 -0500 Subject: [SpamCop-Social] Re: So, like, there was this really ...

The ISBN is constructed of 10 digits in 4 groups, each separated by a dash. First group: Language group, 1 to 3 digits denoting the country of origin. Countries that produce a lot of books get low numbers (0, 1 = US & UK) Second group: Publisher identifier, 2 to 7 digits assigned to specific publishers. Publishers with a lot of books get low numbers (14=Penguin, 06 = HarperCollins) Third group: A 6-to-1 digit serial number assigned by the publisher. Fourth group: A single character, the check-digit, a mathematical combination of the rest of the digits. Some examples: 0-02-123456-1 = The 123,456th title McMillan has published in the United States 0-89659-123-3 = The 123rd book published by Abbeville Press in the US 0-9675918-3-2 = The third book published by Wildland Press Notice the larger the publisher number, the fewer unique numbers the publisher has available. It's considerably more complicated than this. If the publisher identifier begins with 0 or 1 (00 - 19), the publisher identifier MUST be only two digits. If the publisher identifier begins with 2-6, the publisher identifier MUST be 200 - 699. It really gets complicated for 7 and above. 5.CHECK DIGIT DISCOURSE At any rate, you should include a check-digit in the numbering scheme (usually the last digit). The most common check-digit scheme (although not used by the ISBN) consists of summing every other digit and multiplying by 3, then summing the remaining digits. Add these two values together and subtract the total from the next highest multiple of 10. A HUGE amount of mathematics has gone into this method to catch most transcription errors (mistaking a "7" for a "1" or transposing "23" into "32" etc.). Simple example: 1234 (1+3) x 3 = 12 2+4 = 6 12 + 6 = 18 20 - 18 = 2 = the check digit and the final number is 12342. Hard example: 123456789012 (1+3+5+7+9+2) x 3 = 81 2+4+6+8+0+2 = 22 81 + 22 = 103 120 - 103 = 7 = check-digit This computation should be repeated every time a human enters the number as a validation of the correct entry. Every number you own - on your driver's license, your credit cards, your light company account, your voter registration, etc. has a check digit (interestingly, your Social Security Number does NOT have a check digit). Keep us posted.

They said in WWII, they usually were hidden on the side of the road, and waited for Panzers/Tigers to pass them, and nail 'em in the weaker side/back armor.

(Why even bother treating the emphysema if all the bozo is going to do is still smoke?) Then the problem with all those cars illegally parked that blocked the Fire Department. Too many idiots contributed to this mess. (The nice thing is that soon thereafter, the city went on a spree of cracking down on illegally parked vehicles.

I dunno - even with a Republican administration running things, real people have lost real money because of rampant corporate fraud, and I think they're really under the gun to restore some semblance of confidence and trust to the financial markets. A lot of these guys were just "lucky" enough to get caught with their hands in the cookie jar at the wrong time. I think the government's going to make an example of the ones they can make a good case against, and their tactics (IMO) are spot-on (i.e. cut deals with the fish at the lower end of the food chain in exchange for info that will implicate those higher up on the chain).

By exposing the netbios port (what file sharing and the messenger service run under) to the internet, you are exposing the entire contents of your hard drive to anybody who wants to stop by and look around, change things, plant viruses on your computer, or whatever. This is certainly true of any of the Win 9x versions, I think things are slightly more secure on the later versions, but not a whole lot. Get yourself a firewall like right now (Zone Alarm has a free one that I hear good things about), turn off all the print and file sharing on your system, and turn off the messenger service on your computer. Don't do it tomorrow, do it now. See http://www.stopmessengerspam.com/ for how to disable this. And go here http://www.zonelabs.com/store/application and on the download page, go to the bottom and get the free version they have available. Kerry.

I've gotten a few (4 or 5 over the last week) e-mails from addresses I don't know with little or no text and huge sizes (135K and up). I know (or at least I'm pretty sure) they're one of those send-it-to-the-address-book viruses, but they all have come from the same ISP (charter.net) and have the same return path listed in the header, which is an address at the ISP the e-mails are coming from. The headers aren't forged, as best as I can tell. I understand getting one e-mail. I'm curious as to why I'm getting so many from the same ISP (and, I'm presuming, from the same person or computer). Is the user opening the same e-mail over and over or what? They don't bother me much, since I don't download them (I use Yahoo Mail). I'm more worried about the people that do and get hit with it. Any ideas? Thanks.

The only way that you can get messenger or winpopup spam is from either a program running on your internal network, or if your network has the netbios ports open to external attack. So if the attack is not coming from the outside, then you need to look on the inside. A malicious program can be hidden in a greeting card applet or any program that you do not know the pedegree of. And unless that specific program has gotten the attention of a virus scanner, there is no way to scan for it. I notice that the NETbios port 445 was not included in your blocked list. If you allow NetBios or LAN packets to reach your Cable Modem, even if you are not otherwise having problems, you are causing excessive ARP packets on your entire cable segment at a minimum. That is hurting your performance and the performance of every one else on that segment. In addition, someone with NetBeui enabled to the cable modem is possibly flooding all the users on your side of the router with broadcast packets. It all depends on what type of filtering is active in the cable modem. In network terms, a cable modem is a bridge type device. Unless you control the settings of it, should should consider it a pass through device. Any packets that reach it can be transmitted to all other users on your cable modem segment. Only a router will block those packets. If you do not control the settings of the cable modem, you must assume that it is passing through all packets. It is likely that the firewall supplied by an ISP is at the barrier from the ISP to the rest of the Internet. That means that you are exposed to any malicious user or program that may be on your side of the firewall. How many users are on your segment? You probably do not know. The NetBios protocols regularly send out broadcast tcp/ip packets so that a malicious user or program on the Internet may receive to take as an advertisement that the network is open. > > On Sun, 03 Nov 2002 21:05:25 -0500, "Mr K.

I use Kerio Personal Firewall myself, but have used ZoneAlarm in the past, and had great results. If someone can send you these messages, through your ISP, then they can send other things that are a lot nastier than a pop-up spam. :( The article in Kerry's above mentioned link (stopmessengerspam.com one) also recommends if you do not wish to stop the "net send" messenger, at least: "**If you do not wish to disable File and Printer Sharing you may install a firewall and block the incoming traffic on port 135 UDP." I noticed this port was not in the list of ports filtered by your ISP. Good luck!

This settles it! According to "Shields UP," "this computer appears to be VERY SECURE since it is NOT exposing ANY of its internal NetBIOS networking protocol over the Internet." So I really don't have to do anything. Below are the results of the Shields Up test. Regards, Daniel Shields UP! is checking YOUR computer's Internet connection security . . . currently located at IP: 66.214.73.234 Please Stand By. . . Attempting connection to your computer. . . Shields UP! is now attempting to contact the Hidden Internet Server within your PC. It is likely that no one has told you that your own personal computer may now be functioning as an Internet Server with neither your knowledge nor your permission. And that it may be serving up all or many of your personal files for reading, writing, modification and even deletion by anyone, anywhere, on the Internet! Your Internet port 139 does not appear to exist! One or more ports on this system are operating in FULL STEALTH MODE! Standard Internet behavior requires port connection attempts to be answered with a success or refusal response. Therefore, only an attempt to connect to a nonexistent computer results in no response of either kind. But YOUR computer has DELIBERATELY CHOSEN NOT TO RESPOND (that's very cool!) which represents advanced computer and port stealthing capabilities. A machine configured in this fashion is well hardened to Internet NetBIOS attack and intrusion. Unable to connect with NetBIOS to your computer. All attempts to get any information from your computer have FAILED. (This is very uncommon for a Windows networking-based PC.) Relative to vulnerabilities from Windows networking, this computer appears to be VERY SECURE since it is NOT exposing ANY of its internal NetBIOS networking protocol over the Internet. Your computer at IP: 66.214.73.234 Is being 'NanoProbed'. Please stand by. . . Total elapsed testing time: 9.997 seconds (See "NanoProbe" box below.) Port Service Status Security Implications 21 FTP Stealth! There is NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER that a port (or even any computer) exists at this IP address! 23 Telnet OPEN! Telnet provides a remote command prompt window. Any system that appears to be offering a Telnet connection — like yours is right now — is promising total command-level access. Since a surprising number of Telnet servers are known to have no password, this open Telnet port is going to attract a LOT of the wrong kind of attention! Since it is rather unlikely that you really do have an unsuspected Telnet server running within your personal machine, the chances are that this ShieldsUP Port Probe has inadvertently scanned a Firewall or Proxy Server filtering your access to the Internet.

If the ISP is blocking the ports at their firewall, as was previously mentioned in this thread, the firewall will prevent the test from reaching the home system. A system can pass the GRC tests and still be vulnerable to attacks from systems on the same side of the firewall as it is. Receiving a Messenger spam is proof that something is insecure, and an indication that a system on the network is or can be compromised. a973352@yahoo.com wrote: > Thanks for the link!

But it does mean that once you get your system secure and can log the Netbios access attempts, that you only need to contact your ISP about the problem. And since they are blocking the NetBios ports, it indicates that they have some clue about this type of problem. -John wb8tyw@qsl.network Personal Opinion Only From spamcop-social@news.spamcop.net Mon Nov 4 13:05:57 2002 From: spamcop-social@news.spamcop.net (gil l) Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2002 14:05:57 +0100 Subject: [SpamCop-Social] Re: The worst film ever...

We know due to the messenger spam you are getting that something is insecure on your system, that is not debatable. I expected Shields Up to maybe point to the source of the problem. Is 66.214.73.234 your IP address, (the address assigned to you by your ISP). If so then the test is trusted but because it did not identify the leak the test routine would be flawed (remember we live in a world that changes by the moment, if you've run the tests correctly and they say you are secure and you are still have the security leak then it's time to contact Gibson support, they are good folks and want to know if their product needs more work). If Shields Up used the IP of your ISP's Firewall the results would not be applicable to your system but to the firewall and would only be protecting from the ISP's network from his uplink's (the firewall is not there to protect you no matter what they say. Only a firewall between you and your ISP can protect you). All said, doin the tests is a matter of understanding what's going on, even if it is not understandable I still highly recommend you install a firewall at the very least and to feel more secure a router that performs NAT (Network Address Translation) (It's cheap protection). There's no point in fighting it there's 10's of thousand's of folks out there that have nothing better to do then find a way to break into our system's, a good security plan sends them packin..... but a good security plan becomes outdated as quickly as it is put in place. There's always more work to be done, I run security tests all the time on my network and find a leak at least weekly (most often due to a user subscribing to something or installing some stupid downloaded software). -- Mike West Administrator From spamcop-social@news.spamcop.net Mon Nov 4 17:25:48 2002 From: spamcop-social@news.spamcop.net (Jonathan Rynd) Date: Mon, 04 Nov 2002 12:25:48 -0500 Subject: [SpamCop-Social] Re: Messenger Spam References: Message-ID: On Sun, 03 Nov 2002 23:59:19 -0800, a973352@yahoo.com wrote: >135 >RPC >OPEN!

I had to take the cat to the vet on Friday because he had a skin lesion on the top of his back leg that wasn't going away. I've yet to find out if the biopsy is cancerous - hopefully not. Anyway, they removed it and gave him back to me with 7 stitches and an 'elizabethan' collar to stop him fussing with the wound. Well ho ho, that's a joke. With the collar on he was running around in a panic, trying to get it off and banging into stuff, thus jeopardizing the wound. So I took it off and decided I'd just have to watch him like a hawk. All seemed to be going well until yesterday afternoon we noticed that he had fewer stitches than when he started. I'd taken a photo of the wound the day I brought him home (to show to sick relatives who like that sort of thing). The name Frankencat was coined. I've had about 3 hours sleep since Friday, due to watching him constantly. The bastard is smart however. He waited last night until I nodded off (around 4am) and then swiftly removed all but one of his stitches. Then an hour or so later he dispatched the last one. The wound is holding together for the time being and the vet says to leave it in the hope that it won't split open but if it does, he'll have to go back, be put under and sewn up again. Another $200 following from the $357 already spent. So does anyone have any suggestions to get around these difficulties? If I have to take him back, the only way I can see to keep things under control is to leave that collar on him and keep him in his carrying case which is roomy enough but not so much that he can do himself harm by banging into things.

Probably because he'd only pull or scratch the bandage off anyway. It was a very clean wound, no oozing or blood, just a line of stitches. I know there's lots of options for sticking wounds together; you'd think they'd use the glue stuff if it was available, especially for cats who are such awkward bastards!

With any luck (and I'm certainly due some!) he won't open it up and it'll heal okay. If so, I'm just going to have to do as you suggest. He was particularly leery at first as he was still crazy due to the effects of the anesthetic so maybe I'll just have to put it on him if it comes down to it.

Ohh! You really ought to tune in to CSI sometime. Thursdays, CBS, 9pm. It's really very good. Of course, it clashes with Friends so you're out of luck I guess (unless you can record it). If you can stay up late it's on TNN on Mondays at 11.05pm. They're currently showing the first season which is a treat for me as I didn't start watching it until about half way thru season 1. I like that Animal Detectives show too, though I don't often see it. I'll never forget the one with the tick infested german shepherd. That gave us nightmares. > > Neil.

Putting aside the issue of morality, punishing him will not stop anyone else from doing the same. And if you put him in jail, he'll still smoke. I understand why nicotine addicts continue to abuse nicotine. I do not understand why they do so by smoking. The tragedy of smoking is that there ae much safer ways to abuse the drug. The FDA made the mistake (assuming it was not a deliberate failure) of trying to regulate tobacco. They should have asserted authority to regulate nicotine. Let the tobacco companies sell nicotine-free cigarettes without FDA oversight but let the FDA regulate how nicotine is sold. -- FF From spamcop-social@news.spamcop.net Mon Nov 4 22:59:25 2002 From: spamcop-social@news.spamcop.net (Jonathan Rynd) Date: Mon, 04 Nov 2002 17:59:25 -0500 Subject: [SpamCop-Social] Re: Smoking and oxygen References: <3DC6F916.B7C58F20@iwon.com> Message-ID: On Mon, 04 Nov 2002 22:47:50 +0000, Fred wrote: >The FDA made the mistake (assuming it was not a deliberate failure) >of trying to regulate tobacco.

They can't, under current law -- since nicotine is present naturally in the tobacco, they can't regulate it unless the nicotine itself is found to be harmful, or is declared a controlled substance. As far as I know the only side effect of nicotine is addiction.

Message-ID: A German visiting London asked a hooker for a shag. She told him that it was twenty quid. "Fine" he said, "but I'm a bit kinky". She agreed that this was OK as long as he didn’t do anything violent. They got back to her flat and he got out four big springs attached to some straps. "I want you to put one of these on each elbow and one on each knee" he said. The hooker, although worried that she was getting into something a bit heavy, went along with his request. Then she was told to get down on all fours, naked, in front of him. She did so grudgingly. Then, asking her to start bouncing up and down on the springs, he took a duck decoy whistle from his pocket. "Blow on this while I'm shagging you" he told her. So then he ground away while she bounced up and down on the springs blowing the duck whistle. Suddenly and surprisingly, she started to enjoy it, so much so that she experienced the most fantastic orgasm she'd ever had. After they'd finished she said... "Wow that was the most fantastic sex I've had in 25 years on the game, how the hell did you make it so good?" "Ah," he replied, smiling...... "Four Sprung Duck Technique".

Thinking quickly, the other boy took a stick and managed to wedge it down the dog's collar and twist, luckily breaking the dog's neck and stopping its attack. A reporter who was strolling by sees the incident and rushes over to interview the boy. "Young Warrior Fan Saves Friend From Vicious Animal," he starts writing in his notebook. "But I'm not a Warriors fan," the little hero replied." "Sorry, since we are in Auckland, I just assumed you were," said the reporter and starts again. "All Black Fan Rescues Friend from Horrific Attack, ..." he continued writing in his notebook. "But I'm not an All Black fan either!", the boy said. "I assumed everyone in Auckland was either for the Warriors or the All Blacks. So what team DO you support?" the reporter asked. "I'm a Roosters and Wallaby fan!", the child beamed. The reporter starts a new sheet in his notebook and writes, "Little Aussie Bastard Kills Beloved Family Pet." For those of you not in the know, the All Blacks are a famous NZ rugby team and the Wallabies are the Aussie national team.

All raw meats, but most particularly red meats and eggs, supply cats with all the activated Omega 6 essential fatty acids they need. Cod liver oils and fish body oils are used to supply cats with supplementary Omega 3's, if required." "Containing excessive levels of the Omega 6 EFA's is one of the most common problems seen with modern foods. Pets consuming excessive Omega 6 EFA's will suffer conditions of excessive inflammation (as seen in many degenerative diseases), vaso-constriction (constriction of blood vessels causing high blood pressure), broncho-constriction (constriction of airways causing airway disease) and platelet stickiness (producing a tendency to clot which can lead to strokes and heart attacks).

A firewall may present your IP address to the outside world, so just because the IP address of the shields up test matches yours, it does not mean it is actually testing the security of your system. So either a firewall at the ISP, or a PROXY server will give a false success to the Shields up test. Since my home ISP does not run a firewall, and I do not use their proxy server, I had forgotten about that. A corporate firewall typically does to NAT for the internal clients.

ARGH! Put the "phonograph" back on his head. A cat I once had went through a similar situation which required stitches. He ranted and raved about having that thing on his head.. and tried every trick to get it off. But the risk of the wound opening is too much to bet on. Plus he got used to having it on after about a week. (Deciding that resistance was futile.) Besides.. its only there until the wound heals.

At one point the term typically used in advertising to convey this idea was "a quantum leap" (even though that was a distortion of the scientific meaning of it). Briefly in the 1990s, "a paradigm shift" was used but that's even more obtuse. But neither of those describe the continuous leaping action that the German word does.

Neat show, I think. LOL. Is she on the chunky side then? I've been investigating the BBCA website and wondered if you've seen Coupling and Gimme Gimme Gimme.

[...] You can't legislate taste. Remember Corneille's "Le Cid"? (French 17th century). At the time, it went against all the "rules" of tragedy, and, on those grounds, was the object of a cabal. Nowadays it is reckoned as a masterpiece. Similarly for other pieces of art: their evaluation by contemporaries is not always the same as that of people a few centuries afterwards: How is it possible that a genius like Mozart died in pooverty at age 35...?

Yeah. He's started licking it now and that could spell trouble. I may have to put that collar on him overnight.

Well considering you're moving out west, I guess you can't really commit to DirecTV unless you can migrate a contract across states. They want you to sign up for a year. It's not expensive though, their digital package with local channels is under $40. It doesn't include HBO or the other premium movie channels but it does have BBCAmerica and a myriad of other channels.

Message-ID: A middle aged woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital. While on the operating table she had a near death experience. Seeing God she asked, "Is my time up?" God said, "No, you have another 40 years, 2 months and 8 days to live." Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a facelift, liposuction, and a tummy tuck. She even had someone come in and change her hair color. Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it. After her last operation, she was released from the hospital. While crossing the street on her way home, she was killed by an ambulance. Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I had another 40 years. Why didn't you pull me from out of the path of the ambulance?" SCROLL DOWN.....

Well yes, nocotine itself is very harmful. It is a potent toxin. Onecigarette contains enough nicotine to kill an average adult. What prevents smokers from overdosing is that it is poorly absorbed and the smoker developes a tolerance. Do you say that in general the FDA, absent specific legislative authority, does not have authority to regulate natural substances, even if the natural substance contains chemicals that are otherwise regulated? E.g. if I discover a mushroom that contains opium can I grow and sell the mush- rooms without FDA oversight so long as Congress doesn't specifically, grant the FDA regulatory authority over that mushroom? I suppose maybe so, and maybe even without regard to the harmful potential, given all the herbal stimulants etc on the market. Besides, the FDA does have regulatory authority over FOOD, most of which (twinkies and cheez whiz excepted) are natural. If it was clear that the FDA had no regulatory authority over natural substances I would not htink that their case would have made it to the USSC. I thought that the crux of the USSC ruling was that Congress, by otherwise regulating tobacco (the BATF) removed authority for tobacco from the FDA, not that the FDA had no authority in general over natural substances. > > > As far as I know the only side effect of nicotine is addiction. Defining side effects first requires that you define the primary effrect. Nocotine is a stimulant and a vasorestricter. Depending on which one you want, the other effect is a side effect. -- FF From spamcop-social@news.spamcop.net Wed Nov 6 13:53:52 2002 From: spamcop-social@news.spamcop.net (indigo) Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2002 08:53:52 -0500 Subject: [SpamCop-Social] Re: BBC America at last!

My landlord promptly passed the cost onto all his tenants in the form of a rent raise. It was the first rent raise any of us not on Section 8 in my building had gotten ever, and at the time I'd been there 9 years, and the guy across the hall had been there 11. I may rent, but sure as shit I care about things like property taxes and water/sewer rates and anything else that would cause landlords to jack already insane rents in this area up even higher. You don't have to own a home to feel the impact or have a stake it something like that.

A bunch of people were exposed to DU when their vehicles were hit by friendly (i.e. DU) fire. The Abrams tanks have steel-encased DU armor, so they release even more when hit. The DU vapor can be inhaled and concentrated, which can be nasty. Then there's the exposure to those who rescued those hit, etc., etc. Other than being on the sending end of it, I want nothing to do with DU. You'd think they'd find some cheap, non-radioactive material for use in tank shells, eh?

From what I know about those rounds they form a plasma when striking the armor that basically burns thru, then you have hot bits of metal bouncing around inside the tank that destroys it. A round that could penetrate thru-and-thru would just leave two holes in the side of the tank and cause no other (or minor) damage, I'd think. Just like a human can be shot thru-and-thru in certain places without any major damage except minor bleeding. Did you see my Heypete safepage proxy post?

You're thinking of HEAT rounds -- they basically form a jet of hot gas that busts through armor. They're easially defeated with explosive reactive armor (the outer layer of armor explodes outwards, disrupting the jet). Sabot rounds are near-inert rods that penetrate. Bits of DU flake off and burn, which can ignite fuel and ammo. Also, the friction of the rod penetrating the armor generates tremendous heat...and the little slug of armor that was displaced bounces around the inside of the tank. Finally, as armor is quite rigid, inner layer snap and break off, flying around the inside of the tank destroying anything inside. Mainly, though, it's the flaking-and-burning (its a lot worse than it sounds). All of the damage done by a sabot round is kenetic -- no explosive damage at all. This makes them less effective at long range, as they lose momentum. HEAT, on the other hand, is just as leathal, presuming your target doesn't have ERA. Why not talk to the Iraqi tankers who were on the receiving end of sabot rounds? You probably won't find many left. :) > Did you see my Heypete safepage proxy post? Nope. I'm guessing you're wondering where it's gone, right? Well, some bastards kept abusing it, even after I put rudimentary safeguards on it. Gigabytes and gigabytes of data transferred...it looks like people were trading illegal software psuedo-anonymously through it. The CPU resources used by the script became so massive that my host disabled the script.

Years ago when we had my cat Speckles fixed, she tried to jump up in a window and pulled out some of her stitches in the process. When we took her back to the vet to have that fixed, he wrapped a bandage completely around her middle. She looked funny like that until the stitches were removed, but at least she didn't pull them out anymore, and we made sure to keep her in a windowless bathroom at night until the stitches finally were taken out. She recently turned 16 (very old, cranky cat). My younger cat, Smokey the 7 year old, did not have problems with her stitches when we had her fixed.

But the armor isn't exactly that good on those Iraqi tanks. (They like to buy the antique surpluss junk.) So there is a possibility that a round can punch through the tank armor and remain intact during its exit. As for the minor damage.. that may not be all that accurate. (The DU hits something critical.. i.e. ammo magazine, fuel. Or the trail of hot metal that follows the DU after penetrating the armor.) Projectiles can do some pretty wierd things when it hits a target.

They hugely overcharge at over $4 a pop (I can get vids for 99c two nights a week at a local store) and they don't give you the real box which with DVDs is kind of useful.

Yeah, I'd have done the same thing except that his cut was in an awkward place where you couldn't really wrap a bandage (at the top of his back leg). That would have been the perfect solution.

NOW! What kind of gas do you burn in Britain? Furnace gas, as we had here when I was a child (mixture of CO and hydrogen, toxic), or natural gas, as we have now (petroleum gas, i.e. gaseous hydrocarbons, non-toxic)? AFAIK, in the latter case it's just a matter of having your burnt gases go into the chimney, not into the room, isn't it? Or am I missing something? And, yes, the (fire) insurance company wants my chimney swept every year by a sworn chimney sweep, and I have it done, but I don't see the usefulness of it. (I burn only natural gas in my convector.)

(I > burn only natural gas in my convector.) It's natural gas. Yes, it does need to be properly exhausted to the outside. Therefore, all appliances have to be inspected to ensure that they are burning the fuel cleanly and that the exhaust is being properly routed outside. If the appliance isn't functioning right, it could be letting partially burned gas out into the room in which you are living or sleeping. Therefore you inspect the appliances and you put up a CO detector as insurance against them failing in between inspections.

When you're dealing with something as mobile as an RV things tend to happen fast and to quote Murphy 'at the worst possible moment.' Someone had offered me an old RV for free if I could pick it up by this morning. Everything was on schedule until I broke my wrist and could not drive from Dallas to Running Springs to get it. I was trying to find a place where I could have the RV moved and serviced prior to picking it up in a few weeks. I found a few but none that could move it to their shop for service. No great loss as I had nothing invested but would have been neat for a service group I'm involved with. But like busses something else will be along sooner or later.

Um. Why the hell did it win for best cinematography? You don't have to answer - I already know. The oscars aren't exactly democratic and you vote for your pals and there you go. And a film with absolutely HORRID cinematography wins best cinematography. Ha! Ha ha! No, but seriously. Ok, I'm a bum. I hated the movie. Let me count the ways... Well, there was the cinematography, the directing, the soundtrack and the scripting, at least. I, personally, blame the bad acting on the atrocious directing, but maybe it truly was bad acting. I wonder why so many of you found it to be so good. Is it in comparison to what you see most of the time? Is it from fond memories of having read the books? Anyway, to attempt to add a bit of intelligent debate here, after my rant, um, let's see... I find it unfortunate that major studios do not systematically adhere to the high standards of production and directing that go into films by messieurs Spielberg and Genet, for example. Yes, yes, the last Spielberg that I saw (Minority Report) had a couple of trite lines and at least 5 superfluous minutes... But the production was well really done. And Genet makes a point of perfect production (and he drives his crews crazy with his perfectionism). Now, maybe we'll get lucky and the two towers will be better because they now have all of the money that they need in order to do the after- filming production work perfectly, as opposed to, say, the 'land of the lost' river scenes or the absofrickinlutely vomitrocious soundtrack of lotr. Oh, come on. You cannot tell me that you enjoyed the ominous music right before anything bad or the little trills of victory after every battle. Sheesh. Or, my goodness, the fight scenes that were filmed so poorly that they had to lower the brightness so as to make them more believable (the octopus scene in particular). Anyway... From my pov it looks like they skimped on every possible production cost so that they could make the most money. Success for them!

Unless they're thinking they can make more money selling those shows to some other broadcaster. But apart from PBS I don't think anyone else shows BBC comedies. I'm just watching Blackadder at the moment which is hilarious. I see Mona Lisa is on this evening but I've no interest in watching movies when I can see them anywhere else. Besides, Trading Spaces tonight is the 'they hated it' episodes which should be good. I know two of them but I'm curious about the third one.

I was thinking some sort of email-based authentication -- create a free account or something. Of course, I don't have the knowledge to craft such a system. Also, having some sort of CGI-based authentication, rather than HTTP Basic would be better -- where you need to enter your login/password into a form, rather than into the HTTP Basic auth window.

Mast cell tumors are what killed my cat, he had one removed from his belly (it was a lump next to his nipple), supposedly (they told me) that was the end of it. What I learned later was that by the time there are mast cell tumors on the outside, there are usually tumors already growing on the inside, usually around the spleen. Had I known that, I would have had his spleen removed when the first tumor showed up, or been a little more aggressive in finding out where else they were , but I didn't, they didn't tell me, and by the time the other tumors started showing up externally, he had a mass on his spleen that caused it to rupture before he could have it removed. He quite literally bled to death internally, and the vets didn't catch it, they sent him home with me, telling me to shove more predisone down his throat, when all he was trying to do was die. He died the next day on the way to the vets to be PTS. Can't urge you strongly enough to research it, get him ultrasounded or x-rayed, especially his spleen and liver, and get a second opinion if you're not getting any answers.

French quotes (citing, in free translation, from Victor-Hippolyte Dugasse's «Pensées d'un bonhomme de feutre»). You prefer 'inverted commas'? OK by me. Well, depends what you call 'close enough'. Biological paternity can sometimes be disproved (like, if you're older than me I cannot be your genitor); it can never be proved with absolute certainty. OTOH, civil paternity is of course a matter of law and convention, but I suppose you weren't talking about that. Regards, Tony.

All three movies were made consecutively, I order to keep costs down. That's not to say that they might not be improvements, but not so much that the Two Towers would be a big leap forward. I thought the soundtrack was good. To me, a sound track is good if you do not notice it is there doing what it is supposed to do. > Anyway...

They did not skimp, although surely compromises were no doubt made, as they are inevitable.

As it was, New Line basically mortgaged their entire future as a film company on the three films. If the first one had bombed, they would have been bankrupt and there would have been a whole lot of film execs on the streets looking for new jobs right now. Granted, with a world as rich as you would imagine LOTR would be, I'm sure they could have spent a billion dollars and still not totally captured it, but personally, I think they did a really good job. They did spend a whole lot of that money upfront since they shot all three of the films at the same time. I wouldn't expect much substancially different with the second one compared to the first. Maybe they might have more time and money for effects since the principal photography has all been done for a long time. I've read the whole series probably 10 times, starting back in 4th grade and I was not disappointed with the first one at all. That's sort of a big statement for me to make. Don't even get me started on my favorite books that have been ruined with the film. Yeah, they had to cut a whole lot out to fit the entire series into nine hours, or whatever it will all come out to be, but I do think they did a pretty good job. I saw it on one of the few remaining huge screens in Denver and it looked great. I don't know if I would want to see it on a tv at all. I don't think there was anything with the cinematography that was astounding, but I think it was well done and there were no huge clunky parts. I have a film degree and for me, it seems like if I'm not sitting there figuring out how they lit the scene or how they cut it or what camera angles they are using or whatever, because I'm caught up in the film, then I consider it well done. If you want to see what Peter Jackson is really capable of, go rent Meet the Feebles. If you have a pretty strong stomach, you won't be disappointed. It is one of the sickest muppet movies ever filmed. "Hell hath no fury like a hippo with a machine gun." Kerry.

(ie that in cats mast cell tumors are generally benign). No doubt, as in the case of your cat, this is sometimes not the case but at present I'm not going to look upon it as a worst case scenario. I'm certainly not prepared to put the cat through various perhaps unnecessary treatments. And even if it does turn out that he has a terminal cancer, I am not going to put him through any human-like treatments such as radiotherapy even if such a thing exists for cats. Having his spleen removed would be major surgery and would likely impact his health generally such that his quality of life would be much reduced. I would prefer him to have 6 months of happiness the way he currently is, than 18 months of misery. It would distress me more to see him sick than to have it over and done with quickly. > **He's probably a little stir crazy from being quiet and ouchy, must be > feeling better now though - brace yourself... :) He's currently sleeping and he slept 7 hours last night on my lap (lazy bastard) but this morning went loco again.

I had no idea the heinous nature of mast cell tumors, the vet certainly didn't explain the possibilties to me, just told me to watch out for more. By the time more showed up on the outside, (many of them showed up, a year or two after maybe, they were gross), the spleen and possibly liver were already well done in by a big tumor. If nothing else when you go back to get the stitches out, make sure the vet palpates his spleen to see if there's anything there or not, if not, you'll at least have some peace of mind. > I'm certainly not prepared to put the cat through various perhaps > unnecessary treatments.

But you threw down the gauntlet, so we have to answer... :-) Academy awards are a political beauty contest for the year in question, not a standard of excellence to compare against all films. Deep in their hearts, I don't think that the academy considers fantasy to be serious art, but they knew if they left LOTR empty-handed, there would be some grumbling.

Especially his popularity with himself at awards time. Nor his cinematographic prowess (say that 3 x fast!). But most of his films have been too cold and distant for my tastes- a triumph of form over substance, or the emotions when they do occur are as contrived as a push button console.

Pretty much the way the book described it. Lots of chaos and confusion in the night- I saw no problem with it. And there's plenty of scenes out in the daylight- perhaps another appealing aspect of the film. > Anyway...

I think a lot of what you are taking for skimping is actually slavish detail to descriptions in the book, some of which are quite detailed, but almost archtypical in nature- perhaps that's why it looks simplistic to you? I think they didn't always get that right, but I would hardly call it skimping. I didn't like the treatment in all places, but it was evocative and certainly reverberated in the mind when you saw it on the big screen. I watched the DVD on my laptop on a transatlantic flight this summer- decent entertainment, but hardly a comparison to the big screen experience! -RSW From spamcop-social@news.spamcop.net Mon Nov 11 00:31:29 2002 From: spamcop-social@news.spamcop.net (Charles) Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2002 00:31:29 +0000 (UTC) Subject: [SpamCop-Social] Re: lotr References: Message-ID: It wasn't me!

The image came across as though it was filmed using one of the cameras that they use for filming soap operas. Yes, I know, this is on my computer and a DVD and bla and bla, but, please, I watch enough movies to know that it doesn't have to be that harsh, glaringly clear image. The lighting was quite unacceptable in several scenes but most notable the fight scene (octopus) as metioned earlier. In fact, in that scene it seemed quite intentional as the special effects of the monster seemed subpar. Composition... Um... Maybe ;) Sure, of course. No, I have not been to film scholl so I do not know the terms for the techniques used, but the camera angles intended to make characters appear smaller or larger (shots angled upwards or downwards depending on the character in view) were unnecessary and really quite amateurish _in_my_opinion_. Focus? Yes, actually, that was probably part of my beef with the (perceived, on my part, etc) soap-opera camera... FX? Ha ha ha ha ha. The land-of-the-lost boat scenes, you mean? Bilbo's bulging eyes? The lady of the forest's 'scare' scene? The octopus? Some of the orc (or whatever they were) scenes were pretty bad as well. >> No, but seriously. Ok, I'm a bum.

Well, I value form and think that if something is going to be done it should be done beautifully! I can't say that I'm drawn into M.S's films, but I _am_ drawn into M.

Some of them French, others Dutch, a few German: those are our "national languages". Then there are relatively recent immigrants (some of them naturalized, and therefore Belgians too) which speak other languages natively, such as Arabic, Turkish, Italian, English, ... I know of at least one Belgian family where the children speak Esperanto natively. There are Belgians (like the Esperanto-speaking children I just cited, or like my half-sister) who have more than one "native language", either from having parents with different native languages, or from going to kindergarten or grade school in a language different than the parents'. As for the circumstances I quoted, they were in Latin, which, AFAIK, isn't spoken natively by anyone anymore; but I did learn it at school, as well as Dutch, classical Greek, English and German. Not all of those stuck. Remembering, even in Latin, a list of circumstances that I can easily repeat was of a great aid in the writing of essays in high school and "normal" school (the latter being a non-universitary school forming junior-high-school and grade-school teachers).

But, we > could always ask for volunteers... Oh, I have learnt Forth in the past; but I don't think that Greg's hardware "talks" Forth "natively" (mine doesn't) so I think Forth is out of the question. Now I said junking the buggy model for a newer one was the only *quick* solution. If you are stuck with your existing model, you can try and "teach" it out of its errors: the hardware has a "learn mode" built-in, but that is often a lengthy process, measured in years or even decades rather than hours or minutes. Also, you can't "start afresh" because, for good or ill, there is no provision for a reboot. In fact (and here the argument comes full circle) the closer there is to a repeatably reversible power-off is "sleep" mode. Tony.

Which were... Um... Yeah... Oh, there are several well-documented ways to turn the power off. One of them, as you mention, is pressing -- quick enough and hard enough -- at the upper extremity. But the problem is to turn the power back on after a power-off -- AFAIK, there are no reliably documented successes (with repeatable How-To's) in that respect. Tony.

Now I'm confused- I thought soap operas were shot in subdued lighting with soft focus for the romantic scenes- but then I haven't watched one lately. Anyway- I liked the glaring clear part. I took a photography class once, and they taught us that the human eye appreciates most the interplay between sharp contrasts of shadow and light, and that you really can't achieve that if you try too much emphasis on grey tones. > The lighting was quite unacceptable in several scenes but most > notable the fight scene (octopus) as metioned earlier.

What was wrong with the boat scenes? Agree with the bulging eyes and Galadriel's fit- overwrought in both cases. I appreciated the orc scenes on two levels- they weren't all wearing cookie-cutter uniforms, if you noticed (that takes a lot of work!), and the combat decisions of the orcs in some of the fx (mass battle scenes) were all in the software, not scripted (the software figures were choreographed as a unit but the "individuals" decided their particular battle moves. It looked a bit odd, but it seemed like a pretty good advance to me. A few of the latex masks on some of the orcs were pretty poorly done. I know they were supposed to look somewhat crude and primitive, but when you can tell its latex you know something's wrong. > Specifics?

If you want a good example of truly bad acting, try the Princess in the latest Star Wars offering. There was one scene where she was blurting out her lines so quickly, with so little emotion, it looked like she was just going to leave the scene in a cloud of dust or something. In LOTR, Frodo was the one driving me nuts. Way too wide-eyed and smiley. In the book, he had a distant, melancholy edge from the get go, and I just don't see how this guy's going to pull off looking sad and withdrawn by the end- he's just going to look a bit fatigued and hung over, I think.

Add in distribution costs, marketing, and the rest of it, and the costs add up pretty quickly. That's why you look at how much a movie costs and how much it makes and if it isn't more than double or triple the production costs, it is either a bomb or a big disappointment. And when you are getting into the hundreds of millions area, a disappontment is pretty deadly. Lots of movies that are the most profitable for studios are the ones they made for nothing, didn't advertise, and then it grows into a big hit. New Line committed a whole lot of cash to three movies when it could have made a dozen or more normal ones. They have to score big since they have little in reserve. I'm not defending New Line, I'm just saying that I don't think they skimped. I think the money they spent showed on the screen. It wasn't like that horrible pirate movie, what was the one with, I can't even remember her name now, but she made it with her husband who directed it and it was like 100 million and it looked like they spent maybe 20 on it. No, I totally agree with you about the studios and the stupid things money does to film. The thing now where a movie either makes it huge the first weekend or it is dead is really bad for film in general. Then all the studios jump all over themselves trying to get the next Greek Wedding film that was given no chance to make money and then suddenly made a ton. They learn for like 2 minutes and then they are back throwing hundreds of millions at crap films that bomb the first week. All I can say is $8.50 for a film, what the hell? What film is ever worth that much? I miss Colorado in some ways, it was never that expensive, although the bargain theater there went under so I sort of stopped seeing films after that. Sorry, not falling for the favorite books question. Not gonna do it. I do agree that the music was a bit much. But music usually bothers me in films. Nobody lets you decide what you think anymore, they jack up the music to make sure you think the right thing. Unfortunatly, I think the music was too much in this one. Of course, I saw it almost a year ago, so it isn't as fresh in my mind as it should be. But I've never been a big Enya fan, that didn't help. I'm saying that I am a bit hyper sensitive to technique and when it does suck, I'm all over it. That last Star Wars, I was thinking during the big gladiator fight scene, what the hell a whole lot. But even my niece, who saw it with me, sort of jumped every time they did some stupid ass zoom or pan. I totally went in to LOTR thinking, I just hope this doesn't suck really bad. But it isn't real fresh in my mind since I saw it when it first came out. So, I probably can't debate specific scenes with you. But in my mind, I think the cinematography was at least good, because nothing jarred me out of the just getting caught up in the film state of mind. But the next one is coming out soon, it should be much the same, so I can see what is good and bad about that one. Whether it deserved an Oscar (do I have to put a trademark symbol there?) is certainly debatable. I don't remember who else was up for it this year. I don't pay much attention to the Oscars. Big epics are usually given a big advantage in the cinemotography category just because they are supposed to look sweeping. The Oscars seem to be sort of pointless and rarely do I think they do a good job picking the best of whatever is up for consideration. Driving Miss Daisy over Do the Right Thing, come on people. Hennepin, is that one good? I've never had that one before. I don't remember seeing it in the stores here. I'm working my way though the local ones now. There are a bunch from Vermont and NY that I haven't gotten to yet. Totally different breweries on this side of the country. I do miss New Belgium beer quite a bit here. You could always count on Fat Tire being good and their seasonal ones were usually at least interesting. But currently, Yeungling's Black and Tan seems to be the one I always come back to and try to keep stocked in the fridge. America's oldest brewery, they say, from Penn. And it is an added bonus that it seems to be the cheaper one in the store too. Gotta love that. So, there will probably be a few of them cold in there. Kerry.

I don't want to have anything to do personally with people accessing the proxy -- espescially if most of the people using it are in China. What seems to be the case is that a few English-reading Chinese people will find the proxy, determine the username/password, and distribute the URL in various Chinese-language forums (Babelfish translates Chinese, so I get the gist of it -- the forums are all about using proxies to bypass government filters). What happens after that is unknown, but I guess people just distribute around in media that I am not privy to, like email. I want the proxy to be easy to use, and easy to access. Rudimentary CGI-based access controls would be best. I want it to be simple to understand, so that people with only a basic knowledge of English can use it. It's hard keeping things both simple and secure.

It's the kind of things I correct in the margins of my books too. Not that it would be hard to remember: if, by speaking slowly, you can say "it is", "you are", "they are", "would have", "could have" should have", then it's an abbreviation and it merits an apostrophe: "it's", "you're", "they're", "would've", "could've", "should've". If you can replace "its thing" "your thing" "their thing" by "that thing of it", "that thing of yours", "that thing of theirs", then it's a possessive and must be written in one word: "its", "your", "their". "Would of", "could of", "should of" are always bad language. All of this in "educated speech" of course.

I dunno- perhaps not unfiltered but filtered incorrectly? I noticed a peculiar reduction in red/orange/yellow tones throughout the movie, leaving it less 'warm' in places. It could be that if they'd fixed that, the lighting issues you mention would have been less of a problem, and it would have helped out the stylistic content. I will agree with you that more stylistic flourishes (more realism, actually) would have really improved the "mythic" dimension of the film. For example, to me, Hobbiton looked like a place that had been let go for a year, then hastily trimmed. One house surrounded by fields. Hardly any trees (hobbits loved trees). Not at all like a small hobbit village that was lived in. A little more art there would have done wonders... >Ok, ok. So, we get accurate confusion ;) _I_'m still not happy with > it!

I haven't seen either film- shows you how much I get out! Tolkein's son says that he feels that his Dad's work is unsuited for dramatic adaptation. Tolkein plays little tricks with his writing- a lot of the detail is implied rather than explicit, and so takes place mostly in your imagination. Very difficult to translate to film. For me, premise is even more important than detail (not to say detatails are unimportant!). If you put two good actors in a room with no props and no punching, you can still produce more violence and excitement than a bar room brawl. The difficulties in the details flow, I think, from P.J.'s skewed take on the dramatic premise- he emphasizes the 'adult' aspects at the expense of the hobbit p.o.v., and all of the errors flow from there. I think Ebert got that part right in his review. BUT- I still liked the film. I had feared the opposite would happen, that the hobbits would turn the whole film into a typical Hollywood saccharine-drenched exploit with the more adult aspects of the tale buried or downplayed. > Ok, ok - but I very rarely go to theaters (or see films in any way, > for that matter)...

It has influenced most European languages to some degree, but only the "Romance languages" (French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Rumanian, Rhaeto-Roman, Judaeo-Hispanic, and their dialects, are really "founded" on it. Even English, which has seen a lot of bastardization with French (and its Normand dialect) from 1066 onwards, is still more fundamentally a West-Germanic than a Romance language. OTOH, the non-colonial languages of Africa, both Americas and Oceania, plus all languages of Asia except a few like Russian, Farsi, and the Hindic languages of the Indian subcontinent, as well as Turkish, Hungarian, Estonian, Finnish, Same (aka Lapon) and Basque in Europe itself, do not have any recognizable kinship, however remote, with the Indo-European languages such as Latin. Latin was the language of the military conquerors of Western Europe, and later of European philosophers and diplomats throughout the Middle Ages, and of the Catholic Church and the biological nomenclature even till now, which explains its long tradition of being taught in West- and Central European high schools. Scientific terminology is in a large bart based on both classical Latin and classical Greek, but the scientific vocabulary is only a very minor part of what "constitutes" a language. Or do you mean to reduce the "major" languages (as opposed to the languages, without specification) to only a handful? Then I would say French and Spanish are founded on Latin; English, German, Russian and Hindi are variously related to it but not actually founded on it, while Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Swahili are not even remotely related as far as anyone (tina) can tell.

Well, I don't want to monitor the script -- it would be an inherent violation of the people using the proxy's right to privacy. Also, as I said, a majority of the people who used to use the script did not speak English, and thus did not know what the username and password was. After talking with a Chinese citizen by email, and using Babelfish, I think I may have figured out how to convey "Use username [blah], password [blah]" without insulting their ancestors. :) Changing the login/password would only serve to inconvienience the legit users, not the abusers. Also, since the script used HTTP GET, many people simply appended the URL of what they wanted to access to the proxy's URL. That way, they're not seeing the proxy "start page", and can't see any updates that I post. If a particular URL failed, they tried over and over to get it to work, tried other URLs, etc. Finally, they went away, never to return (rather than trying without a URL). In short, unless I have some easy way of positively identifying every user of the proxy in such a way to prevent abuse, there's no way that I can continue to provide the service. > This IS a complex problem.. :-) Indeed.

References: <20021111114341.19813.00000066@mb-df.aol.com> Message-ID: On a farm lived a chicken and a horse, both of whom loved to play together. One day, the two were playing when the horse fell into a bog and began to sink. Scared for his life, the horse whinnied for the chicken to go get the farmer for help! Off the chicken ran, back to the farm. Arriving at the farm, he searched and searched for the farmer, but to no avail, for he had gone to town with the only tractor. Running around, the chicken spied the farmer's new Z-3 series BMW. Finding the keys inside, the chicken sped off with a length of rope, hoping he still had time to save his friend's life. Back at the bog, the horse was surprised, but happy, to see the chicken arrive in the shiny BMW, and he managed to get a hold of the loop of rope the chicken tossed to him. After tying the other end to the rear bumper of the farmer's car, the chicken then drove slowly forward and with the aid of the powerful car, rescued the horse! Happy and proud, the chicken drove the BMW back to the farmhouse, and the farmer was none the wiser when he returned. The friendship between the two animals was cemented: best buddies, best pals. A few weeks later, the chicken fell into a mud pit, and soon, he too, began to sink and cried out to the horse to save his life! The horse thought a moment, walked over, and straddled the large puddle. Looking underneath, he told the chicken to grab his "thing" and he would then lift him out of the pit. The chicken got a good grip and the horse pulled him up and out, saving his life. The moral of the story? When you're hung like a horse, you don't need a BMW to pick up a chick.

What? 1831? (Oh no, > 1830, well, somewhere around that time they though they became a state.) > Nah... Yeah, sure. Belgium was independant until it was conquered by Julius Caesar (ca. 54 BC) and from its revolution against the Netherlands (1830-1831). In the meantime, it was ruled over by various overlords, the last of which (1815-1830) was the King of the Netherlands. (The high school where I studied boasted of having been created by decrees that started "WIJ WILLEM, Kooning der Neederlanden, Prins van Oranje-Nassau, Groot-Hertog van Luxemburg, Hertog van Brabant, Limburg en Ghelderen, Graaf van Holland, Zeeland, Friesland, Vlaenderen en Heenegouwen, enz., enz., enz.," or something very similar, I don't remember it perfectly.) Actually, to add to the "Belgian propaganda" at the site you mentioned, Spambo, I could add that the Carolingian "mayors of the palace", emperors, and kings of France and Germany were actually Belgian, originating in the region between Aix-la-Chapelle (Aachen, Aken) and Louvain (Leuven, Löwen) as can be seen by the names given to some of Pippin the Short's ancestors: Pippin of Herstal and Pippin of Landen were both named from the Belgian towns of their births; and the French /ancien-régime/ war-cry "Montjoie Saint-Denis" takes the first part of its name from the town of Montjoie (German Monschau), which is nowadays in Germany but so close to the Belgian border that the railway and station serving it were reserved as part of the Belgian territory by the peace treaties which ended the First World War. So maybe I should count the Merovingian and early Carolingian era as an other epoch of Belgian independance, starting with the Salic Franks of Tournai (Doornik) and their king Clovis (Khlodwig). Frankish was a Flamish dialect after all, wasn't it Marjolein? Oh well, anyway, Belgium and the Netherlands cannot really be distinguished before the Reform, when the United Provinces elected the Prince William the Taciturn of Orange (in Provence) as "stadhouder" and made themselves independent from the Hapsburgs, starting with Philip II. > > (Added to my 'Fun & Weerd' collection which somehow, somewhen will make it > to the web - if I still live to make it happen...

That look is just priceless, that I'm a teenager already working in hell and then you throw down all that change look. Well, I think that for $8.50, that's a ton of gas to get to the library. That can keep me in entertainment for a long time. Although, I'm severely disappointed with the Upper Hudson library system. Or maybe I was spoiled by the library systems I came from. Ok, I would say my favorite book is Jealousy by Robbe-Grille. I just absolutely love that whole 3 page section on describing how the banana trees almost make a trapaziod, but not exactly. Fortunately, I don't think there is anyway a film could ever be made of it. Even Last Year at Marienbad had much more of a story to it. But it is hard to limit myself to a favorite book or even a list of them. Lately, I've been reading all the Pratchett books, and all the John Irving ones. I'm mostly done with all of them now. Of those, I think Widow for One Year was the one I liked best of all of them. I suppose historically, LOTR was sort of the one that was the biggest for me, over the greatest period of time. That was the only fantasy/sci fi book I ever read almost until a few in high school and college and then just a few years ago again. But with an English degree, I've read way too many classics over the years. It is nice to kick back with something like Elmore Lenond every once in a while. But now that my commute has gone from 50 miles one day to maybe 3, I have way less time to listen to book on tape anymore. I was listening to one or so unabridged a week just doing that. My film watching is sort of all over the map too depending on the time period. I probably saw a normal or less than normal growing up. In college, I got a film studies degree, so for a few years I was seeing probably an average of one or two a day. Then after that I probaby saw 1-2 a week for 10 years and then in the past few years, not so many. When there was a bargain theater, I would see 2-3 a month, but right now, I don't think I've seen more than 2-3 in the past six months. Ithaca, I havne't tried anything from them yet. Sarnac was ok, but I wasn't overly impressed by them. I do really miss the Belguim style beers. I'll have to find a new replacement for them out here. But the Black and Tan seemed to be the cheapest and the best so far, so I'm sort of stuck in that rut for now. Kerry.

It is very difficult to merge all the different rules of grammar, from various languages around the world. I think that is the rule in English also, unless the it is 'phrases', and not words, that are joined by the conjunction. Then, a comma would not be needed between: Do you prefer peanut butter or jelly? but would be inserted between: Do you prefer peanut butter and jelly, or ham and cheese?

Ok, it's all by HTTP -- normally, they'd send the URL http://www.example.com/uber-cool-warez/file.zip to their buddy, who'd download it. What they were doing was essentially sending the URL https://www.heypete.com/proxy/nph-proxy-ssl.pl/http//www.example.com/uber -cool-warez/file.zip (or whatever the format is for the proxy, I don't remember) to their buddies. That way, the ISPs can't read the data, as it's encoded with SSL, and the source is concealed from any prying eyes. If I could put a 1-5Mb limit on files, and restrict file types (i.e. no exe, zip, etc.) so that only images, text, and HTML documents could be transferred, that would be great. The proxy had some option for that, but it would either strip out all non-text/html stuff (like images) or none of it. Also, the CPU usage caused pair.com to disable the script. That can be avoided in the future by some tweaking. I just need to find a way to limit file types and sizes.

It was fascinating watching regional televison and getting a non- US-Govt-censored spin on the conflict. Nile News broadcast a speech that President Mubarek gave in (I think) Tunisia where he cited statistics on suicide bombings. There have been 80+ in the two years Sharon has been in power as opposed to 6 (yes, six) in the three years his predecessor ran the show. Kinda telling, no?

Dunno about online resources, but I've always started them out by melting the paste wax into the leather then buffing it off with an old pair of panty hose. For some reason panty hose work better than anything in bringing out a really good shine. Also, get yourself some Kiwi brand "Honor Guard" edge dressing for the heels. Nothing else will put a shine on that bit. Just don't use it on the rest of the boots, and keep it in a ziplock bag since the cap is screw-on.

(OTCBB:VICI - News) announced that the Company has entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Servimex Canada LTD. Servimex will have exclusive distribution rights in Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Chile. "Leandro has arranged the production of a Canadian approved version of our ENVIROLIZER(tm) box with both French and English on the package. His initial order of 5 tons will be shipped in one ton super sacks and boxed locally. We have been concentrating our efforts at marketing primarily in the west so far but have received some interest from the East coast as well. As I said in our last release I will announce distributors as they are signed," said Carson Coleman CEO of the Company. "The exclusive nature of Servimex Canada LTD is dependent on certain minimum orders in which I have confidence Mr. Silva can meet and hopefully exceed. We have to remember that this is the first product of its kind offered on the market and to expect a lengthy educational process. However, as the consumer comes to realize the convenience of watering and fertilizing their plants less frequently as well as the environmental benefits of reducing nitrate and phosphate pollution the Company believes our orders will continue to increase."

Places where a second language is tolerated for interaction with the authorities are the 19 townships of tthe Capital region (whiere both languages are on equal footing in theory, but the population talks maybe 85% French vs. 15% Dutch), a few townships along the Duch/French language border (which goes approximately straight East-West from somewhere south of the northernmost point of France to somewhere near the southernmost point of the Netherlands), and a few French/German townships near the German border, mostly in the East of the province of Liège. > [...] > Only that handful.

"I notice that all major languages are derived from Latin". -- it doesn't tell much about the world in general. But then you might ask yourself why three "minor" languages according to that definition, are nevertheless Latin-based, namely, Romanian (spoken in the former Dacia, north of the Eastern Roman Empire), Judaeo-Hispanic (spoken by Sephardic Jews of Turkey and Morocco, in a way more or less parallel to the Yiddish, i.e. Judaeo-German, of Ashkenazic Jews in Europe and America) and Rhaeto-Roman (spoken under the names "rumantsch" and/or "ladino" in Alpine highlands of some parts of Switzerland, Italy and Austria where the lowlands people speak German). And I don't know if Cajun is a Romance language like French, or a Creole language (contact language) like Haitian Creole, Pidgin Engllish and Esperanto. Neither do I know enough about Pilipino. Tony.

They do it for equines and I don't see why they can't do it for dogs and cats that are just visiting for a show. Those animals are highly unlikely to have the disease and also highly unlikely to escape into the population anyway. They recently started accepting animal passports but they only apply to animals from rabies-free countries I think, or at the most from EC countries and rabies-free places. Besides, now there is a physical link between Britain and europe (tunnel), it's possible there could be rabid rodents making their way across. I believe there are precautions in place, including physical barriers of some sort, but I reckon it's only a matter of time, especially since traffic coming from Europe is now barely checked at all compared to the old days.

I was a big hit over there as well (tallish and dark - you'd have to decide for yourself on the handsome bit). I mean, when everyone has a perfect complexion, blue eyes and blond hair, anything that strays from that is desirable. No?

They're in Denmark though: (http://www.blockbuster.dk/storelocator/dk/lejepriser.asp) where they charge from $2.60-5.20 depending on release date of the film - 5.20 is "premiere"). But the main chains over here still charge less than half of the atrocious $6!!! Jeez, that's a ridiculous prize, they should be severely spanked with a baseball bat... Over here, most video shops charge $2-3 with $4 as top price for premiere films.

They got much better prices on that. (Once made the mistake to buy whisky straight from the distillery in Scotland to later find it much cheaper in the local London supermarket...) And I buy my wine in Denmark (about 2/3 of the price if one chooses the right supermarket, but less to choose from than in Sweden due to our special governmental-own chain which *has* to provide customers with *anything they ask for* due to EU rules). But, since the Swedish Krona has fallen dramatically over the last few years, most tourists scream with joy when they realize how much they get for their zloties and bucks over here, generally...

Maybe you're a prude, I don't know you well enough yet. Or maybe it's me, am I too free-minded for the likes of you? The reason my brother dumped her was because she wanted to marry him, buy a house and have shildren. He wasn't ready for the chains yet.

I've used Thermos bottles for tea in the past but I don't anymore because all of those I used sooner or later had their inner container suddenly change to some mixture of ground glass and tea. Heat shock I guess. Nowadays I use earthenware teapots and I keep them warm over a flame (y'know, one of those keep-the-dishes-warm thingies they use in Chinese restaurants, with small candles that last for hours).

Neither did Heidi ;) But I did date a Swede for a while (no, not a week or two - a bit longer) and visited for a few weeks. I was a hit! While darker colors were not 'rare' they were less frequent than, say, in Maine (to say the least!). But, getting back to that first bit, Greg just posted a reply to Cat and I can't back up that thread either. Something fishy is going on in the state of, um, yeah. Right. Pick a state! Now, it makes sense that more and more you are less blond. The socialist system that was in place when I visited made it a very desirable place for those without money (of course, the counter side was that if you made money you were taxed to death and I'm not talking about %40 or %50 but %85 income tax and yes I do personally know people who were in that tax bracket). Heck, some of the punks that I knew had children (no, they didn't get married. Why do something stupid like that?) because they could live with just the money that they received from the state for having the child. Very very sad. Oh, annecdotal as well, of course. But, many things have changed since then - like the devaluation of the kroner! Crazy, man, crazy!

When where you here? We had something called "progressive tax" for a while (the more you earn the more you pay tax), which had the absurd effect that some people (inkl. our semi-world-famous novelist Astrid Lindgren - the mother of Pippi Longstocking) had to pay over 100% tax. The Kafka-system made Mrs. Lindgren write a "childrens story" about her income situation which had the effect that the tax laws were changed. Nowadays most people pay approx. 30-38% tax with an extra 5% + 5% added separately between two levels of income and a ceiling above that. I think Denmark is worse actually, as they pay around 50% no matter how much or little they earn (or so I'm told by Danish friends.) >Heck, some of the punks that I knew had >children (no, they didn't get married. Why do something stupid like >that?) because they could live with just the money that they received >from the state for having the child. Very very sad. Eh. Not really. You get about $100 a child per month in "support money" from the government. Not much to live on. The birth rate is actually the lowest in decades over here, much to our prime ministers dismay, and he's gone out in public with a shag-appeal! (Which never stops baffling me, as some droogs meanwhile claim we accept too many refugees and immigrants into Sweden...) >Oh, annecdotal as >well, of course. But, many things have changed since then - like the >devaluation of the kroner! Crazy, man, crazy! Oh yes. Swedish kronor are now known as "pesetas" in Denmark.

(nor elsewhere, but here we're supposed to >have "free circulation of people and goods", aren't we?) If we should've joined the EMU project I suppose we should've done it while the SEK were still high in comparison to the Euro. But the public opinion was very negative, in spite of the governments eagerness. I'm actually against the EMU and pro currency independence, for many reasons. I also voted no to Sweden entering the EU, as I don't believe in centralization of power over such a big region. (I also detest the Schengen agreement and its effects. It creates a "we and them" situation, totally opposite the pro-EU "internationalisation" propaganda bull.) We've had to agree to so much crappeti (bad colouring in food, free import of war toys for children, looser regulations on animal transports, just to mention a few at the same time as the EU parliament have the audacity to have opinions about our domestic affairs such as which tobacco we are to use or not) since we entered and the public opinion has changed drastically over the years. (Most people voted yes to EU for totally banal reasons. Most people thought, for instance, that we'd get "cheaper booze" or "yeah, now we'll be able to buy our liqour at the local tobacconist... coool!" and voted yes because of that. Syckers...)

Nah...not quite our only goal-we run a few servers, host a few domains, 11 private newsgroups, and a private mail server. These will be co-located to my hubby's office (his boss is WONDERFUL!).

(5% not returned due to its strategic value.) No. Israel offerred to return that much, and Arafat rejected it and stepped up the intifada. That (plus Palestinian support for Iraq during the Gulf War, plus Palestinian celebration of the WTC attack [dancing in the streets]) is what tilted the US so far toward Israel. They have made it evident that they do _not_ want to live in peace with Israel; the sole purpose of an independent Palestinian state would be to dedicate its resources to the destruction of Israel. After the Oslo accords, the Palestinians failed to live up to even the most symbolic clauses of the agreement; the Palestinian Charter _still_ calls for the total destruction of Israel. -- Eönwë (SpamCop subscriber, not staff/admin) From spamcop-social@news.spamcop.net Fri Nov 15 12:50:41 2002 From: spamcop-social@news.spamcop.net (Charles) Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2002 12:50:41 +0000 (UTC) Subject: [SpamCop-Social] Re: What kind of pr0n would you star in?
