 " Qualify for at least $25,000 in free
grants money - Guaranteed! "

 Each day over One Million Dollars in Free
Government
Grants  is given away to people just like you for a wide
variety of Business And Personal Needs

Dear Grant Seeker,
 In a moment, I'll tell you
exactly HOW & WHERE to get Grants. This MONEY has to
be given away, WHY not to YOU?

 You may be thinking, "How
can I get some of this Free Grants Money"

 Maybe you think it's impossible
to get free money?

 Let me tell you it's not
impossible! It's a fact, ordinary people and businesses all across the
United States are receiving millions of dollars from these Government and
Private Foundation's everyday.

 Who Can Apply?

 ANYONE can apply
for a Grant from 18 years old and up!

 Grants from $500.00 to $50,000.00
are possible! GRANTS don't have to be paid back,
 EVER! Claim
your slice of the FREE American Pie.

 This money is not a loan,
Trying to get money through a conventional bank can be very time consuming
and requires a lot of paperwork, only to find out that you've been denied.
These Government Agencies don't have to operate under the same stringent
requirements that banks do.

 You decide how much money
you need, as long as it's a lawful amount and meets with the Government
Agencies criteria, the money is yours to keep and never has to be repaid.
This money is non taxable & interest free.

 None of these programs require
a credit check, collateral, security deposits or co-signers, you can apply
even if you have a bankruptcy or bad credit, it doesn't matter, you as
a tax payer and U.S. citizen are entitled to this money.

 There are currently over
1,400 Federal Programs, 24,000 State Programs, 30,000 Private Foundations
and 20,000 Scholarship Programs available.

 This year over $30 Billion
Dollars In Free personal and business Government Grants Money will be given
away by Government Grants Agencies.

 Government Personal
and Business Grants Facts:
 Over 20 Million People Get Government
Money Every Year:
 1,000,000 entrepreneurs get money
to start or expand a business
 4,000,000 people get money to invest
in real estate
 6,000,000 people get money to go
to college
 10,000,000 people get free help and
training for a better job

 Getting Business
Grants

 Anyone thinking about going
into business for themselves, or wanting to expand an existing business
should rush for the world's largest "one-stop-money-shop" where FREE business
grants to start or expand a business is being held for you by the Federal
Government.

 It
sounds absolutely incredible that people living right here in the United
States of America wouldn't know that each year the world's largest source
of free business help delivers:

 Over $30 billion dollars in free
business grants and low-interest loans;
 over one-half trillion dollars in
procurement contracts; and
 over $32 billion dollars in FREE
consulting and research grants.

 With an economy that remains
unpredictable, and a need for even greater economic development on all
fronts, the federal government is more willing than it ever has been before
to give you the money you need to own your own business and become your
own boss!

 In
spite of the perception that people should not look to the government for
help, the great government give-away programs have remained so incredibly
huge that if each of the approximately 8 million businesses applied for
an equal share, they would each receive over $70,000.

 Most
people never apply for FREE Business Grants because they somehow feel it
isn't for them, feel there's too much red-tape, or simply don't know who
to contact.The fact is, however, that people from all walks of life do
receive FREE GRANTS MONEY and other benefits from the government, and you
should also.

Yes, but this is what normally happened:

Engineer: we can put an input validator/parser on the backend to do
that.

Designer: there's a JavaScript library that can do some of the
pre-validation.

Creative Director: I want it in blue, with a zooming logo.

Engineer: can we get to that later, we need to meet functional specs.

Creative Director: You *don't* understand. *I* want it in blue.

Creative Director: Oh, and the site launches this Friday because I sent
out a press release about our new strategic partnership with HypeCorp.

Designer: fine, we'll just put a list of countries in a drop down.

Engineer: and we can validate against that list.

Creative Director: I don't give a shit. As long as it's in blue. And
has a link to my press release.

 Me and my kernel rpm builds ... this all works along the same idea I have
been aiming for, but the freaking RedHat Kernel srpms still have been stump
...

 If we could get this and the alsa driver stuff working, it would be whole
lot easier to try out a newer kernel ... but then the size of these rpms
are huge, at least for us n^1 world courties ... ;-{ ...

 I will keep watching and hoping that somebody comes up with a great working
idea ...

Thanks guys.

Subject: We're trying to decide if FogBUGZ 3.0 should support custom fields. Histor

URL: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/news/20020912.html
Date: Not supplied

We're trying to decide if FogBUGZ[1] 3.0 should support custom fields.
Historically, I am opposed to custom fields in principle, because they get
abused. People add so many fields to their bug databases to capture everything
they think might be important that entering a bug is like applying to Harvard.
End result: people don't enter bugs, which is much, much worse than not
capturing all that information. You can always "page fault" to get the
information if the original report forgot it. Rather than having a field in
every bug where you enter the version numbers of every DLL on your machine
(this is an actual customer request), information which is likely to be
relevant only for a tiny percentage of bugs, why not just have the
programmer-assignee look at the bug first, and if they think it might be
dll-version-related, only _then_ bounce the bug back to the originator asking
for the DLL info? Similarly, it's always tempting to add a field in which you
ask for the OS version in which the bug occurred. This sounds logical, but
trust me: adding fields like this is guaranteed to do one thing and one thing
only: reduce the number of bug reports that get into the system in the first
place. Only a small percentage of bugs are really OS dependant and you can
always include that info in the text description of the bug if it happens to be
relevant. (But then how do you search for, say, all bugs which only happen on
Windows 98SE? Aha! You can't. Ever. Even with the custom field. Because not
every bug has been regressed on every version of every operating system, so
this search doesn't make sense in the first place. The info wasn't captured. Do
a full text search for 98SE and you'll find some of them. Life is imperfect.)

Life would be more perfect if every bug report included megabytes of
information -- a complete dump of every byte on the hard drive and in RAM on
the computer in question and while you're at it, a photograph of the tester's
workspace. But the goal of a bug tracking database is to _keep track of bugs_,
which, all else being equal, takes priority over making it easy to find them. I
have heard countless stories of development teams where the bug tracking
package was so high-ceremony that people were afraid to enter bugs in the
system, because they didn't know what all those fields were. The _real_
bug-"tracking" happened in email, post-its, and hallway conversations. Great.

A pretty common question we get on the customer service line is, "does
FogBUGZ support custom fields?" Rather than giving our usual answer ("no. on
purpose.") over the last few weeks I've been saying, "can you please tell me
what fields you would need? We're trying to decide whether to implement that
feature in 3.0 and we want to know why people need it." The interesting thing
is, almost all of the fields people ask for _are already in FogBUGZ,_ and the
other ones, in my educated opinion, shouldn't be fields. And in fact, our
existing customers are certainly happy without custom fields. One of our
biggest site licenses was sold to a semiconductor company, and I myself wanted
to add a custom field for them to keep track of versions of the circuit design,
but I didn't, and they never needed it (even though they had been keeping track
of it with the old bug tracking package which had custom fields), and they are
happy and keep buying more site licenses.

But the dilemma for us is that many customers are evaluating bug tracking
software and they consider the lack of custom fields to be a major weakness in
our product. "Gosh, even Filemaker has custom fields." Righto. It's true. And
who am I to tell my customers they are wrong? One person who I was talking to
yesterday would have used a custom field for something that we already have a
built-in field for. This would have made their database confusing and
inconsistent and would have definitely caused more problems than it solved. But
it's still rude of me to tell customers that we don't have that feature _for
their own good_, even though it usually is, and we're losing some sales because
of it.

Sigh. I guess we could have a custom fields feature but hide it and make it so
hard to use that people don't use it. At least we won't lose any sales :)

Subject: Free Excerpt; Baby Makers, Loser Choosers, & Welfare Abusers...Images of My America!

 Foreword

After thirty?three years of being a black man living in "Ghetto America," an environment notorious for danger, crime, and poverty, I have made startling discoveries involving young African?American men and women who comprise what I have come to define as the "Black Generation X". I have become aware that there is no formal distinction separating young African?Americans from the general definition of "Generation X". Aside from it being regarded as the generation that followed "Baby Boomers", it's important to point out there is no root definition for this term as well. Since the theme of this work is centered on identifying the realities and misconceptions of young African?American culture, I have chosen a definition that incorporates all of the components that were part of my birth, childhood, and young adult life. Taken from a web site entitled "Generation X", created and maintained by the Colorado College, the definition is as follows:

 "We are a group of people born between 1961 and 1981. We are individuals who live for the 'here and now', like to experiment, and who require immediate results. We are typically selfish, and cynical, and depend a lot on our parents. We question authority, and feel like we carry the burden of the previous generations. It's that simple. It seems we have come to be called "Xer's" simply because we represent something negative to our elders. We may be the one thing all of the generations that precede us have in common, that is the ability to speak assuredly about our shortcomings. Of course, they overlook the fact that we are their responsibility, or actually their fault. Our generation will be called upon to look after our parents knowing they failed to look after us. Intergenerational justice failed somewhere along the way and it will be our task to either rectify it or make it worse."
"We are a group of individuals who grew up with no one at home after school. It appears we have little hope for the future. No jobs, no homes, and basically no money are almost expected of us. These bleak prospects, along with the fact that we will be forced to support the largest amount of senior citizens ever, do not provide much hope. Some believe that these blockades will be too much for us to handle and we will for the most part fail at life, but many see our individualism and resourcefulness that has been built up through our childhood, as our saviors. We will soon discover who is right and who is wrong."

This definition is important because it demonstrates the widely held belief that Generation X is comprised of one core group of American citizens. It over generalizes the similarities it expresses, and applies them to all those who were born within the corresponding years. When in fact these "similarities" speak primarily to only "white" issues and concerns. For instance, "they" say "we" depend a lot on our parents, but in ghetto America "we" could only depend on one �our mothers! "They" also say, " . . .we feel like we carry the burden of previous generations," and " . . . we will be forced to support the largest amount of senior citizens ever." In ghetto America, no one ever gives these issues any thought because survival is in the here and now, and is all "we" have time for.
I have known for many years that the differences that separate Generation Xer's black and white occupants would eventually be identified. I never knew I would be the one doing it. Extracting the "Black" from "Generation X" and categorizing it for its own sake is a necessary and important contingency. Without doing so, the social ills that plague Ghetto America would be lost within the generalities that are explained away as part of a collective American identity.
There are many hidden truths that exist in black America today. "White America" charges that we spend our time collecting welfare, refusing to vote, reading elementary styled books, watching music videos, day dreaming of becoming rappers, basketball players, selling drugs, and making babies. Much of this is supported in Marlon Riggs's documentary entitled "Ethnic Notions." When African Americans are mentioned, whites typically envision an image that is strikingly similar to the one that graces the cover of this book. A reality that I confirmed while watching "Roger & Me," another documentary written, and directed by Michael Moore. Sadly, many of us have begun to validate this skewed image, while others bend over backwards in an attempt to pretend we do nothing of the kind, only to be contradicted and embarrassed when presented with the daily programming line up for B.E.T. (Black Entertainment Television). Many of us fail to realize, that whatever embarrassment or shame the ex
 posed truth may reveal, should be taken as an opportunity to improve, empower, enlighten, and ultimately change anyone who is guilty of perpetrating this kind of behavior.
Regarding Black Women: I have known many in my life and although each has had unique attitudes and personalities, I began to notice the majority of them shared the same collective mentality toward black men as a whole-that black men owed them something, and are required to provide and fulfill what was missing from their lives, be it emotional, physical, or economical.
 Normally that type of assertion would not warrant opposition from me, so long as a reciprocal attitude was extended. In most cases, it has not been. It's funny though, looking back, I am surprised I never paid any attention to the beliefs and attitudes that different black women subscribe to, or the various schools of thought they possessed. Many have placed strict demands and presumptions on the African?American male, some fair and some unfair. Much of what the public believes and understands about the black female's social structure is often filtered by others in the black community who believe these inaccurate and frequently positive representations will somehow change the reality that is.
What originally sparked my attention was an observation I stumbled upon while skimming through and reading books related to black male and female interaction. I noticed virtually all of the books I read in the genre depict an inaccurate and misleading concentration on the affluent African?American perspective. These stories and commentaries tend to suggest that all African?Americans thrive on a middle?to?upper class professional level. They relay stories of relationship problems with "Huxtable?like" bachelors and bachelorettes whose only concern is why the other has not confessed his or her love. As I read these stories I couldn't help but become irritated by the blatant omission of the prevailing majority of blue collar or "working class" African?Americans. Although there are those in the black community that can identify with the "Huxtable?like" dynamic, unfortunately, they are few and far between.
The majority of stories I have read seem to be geared toward fantasizing and romanticizing the oppressive state of affairs that have plagued Black America. The black authors who have written these books fear the potential backlash awaiting anyone who would dare air out our "dirty laundry". The fact is, truth should never be stifled by fear of any kind.
I recently had a candid conversation with some very dear female friends who stated that although they fully acknowledge the terrible state of affairs many of our women are currently drowning in, they felt that publicizing their predicament would be viewed as a form of betrayal. As our discussion intensified, I reminded them that the only way change can be effected is by increasing public awareness that change is needed, and oftentimes, not exposing the truth can be more crippling than the truth itself.
The purpose of my book is in essence an attempt to change the self?destructive thinking and self?imprisoning behavior that "black male and female generation X" have been subscribing to. While discussing this with my friend, she suggested I simplify my writing style so my potential black readers could better understand what I'm attempting to convey. Acknowledging the real possibility of my message being misunderstood, I suggest to those readers that if they want to fully appreciate the finer points of this narrative-to grab a dictionary. (Don't feel bad-there were several times I had to as well!)
Regarding Black Men: An overwhelming number of us have become preoccupied with being cool, buying sports wear, driving expensive cars, wearing gold or platinum jewelry, and often without legitimate personal wealth and while living under the most deplorable conditions! I have chosen to address this rarely acknowledged side of African?American culture because I have lived it. I have seen the chaos and futility that exists on this level. It is a world of ignorance, selfishness, pre?occupation, and idiocy.
In my world there are people who applaud a lack of education, who brag about having served time in U.S. penitentiaries, the types of guns they carry, dope peddling, and chasing women. They champion the notion of having children without any regard to the poor environment many of them currently inhabit. In this world, wearing expensive clothes and carrying fancy handbags is mandatory even if it means spending their last dollar in order to look like they've got a million. It's a world where children dress in over?priced sports wear, mimicking and idolizing whatever popular athlete or rapper is currently in the public eye.
Thinking, such as the belief that fancy clothes are what define one's self?worth, and the possible corruption this thinking breeds, seems to not be an important concern for black mothers. It may come as a shock to know that most African?Americans feel that those who don't have the same, if not better, material possessions, are lesser beings, referring to them as being corny, lame, or broke. Even our "male rapper" entertainers promote backward priorities-nothing else matters as long as you look good. "The Big Tymers", a popular rap duo, have a song called "I'm Still Fly", shown in heavy rotation on B.E.T. and played regularly on black radio stations throughout the country. ("Fly" is ghetto vernacular for well dressed, also used to describe a female's beauty). Its signature verse asserts:

"I got gator boots with a pimped out Gucci
Suit, can't pay my rent cause all my money's
spent, but that's O.K. cause I'm still fly."

Worse yet, in the song "Grinding", the popular duo "Eclipse" glorifies the selling of illegal drugs in inner city neighborhoods as children play and dance throughout the entire video. (The term "grinding" is ghetto vernacular for the selling of illegal drugs) The fact that this song and video is also shown in heavy rotation on B.E.T. is further evidence that our world is in utter turmoil. Some of the key lyrics to this song are "grinding�you know what I keep in the lining" (the area in their coats where they hide illegal drugs) and

"Patty cake Patty cake I'm the bakers man
I bake them cakes as fast as I can
and you can tell cause of how my bread stack up
and I disguise it as rap so the feds backup"

In this verse, the group refers to the process of cooking cocaine and its transformation into cocaine base or crack. When created it is compressed into the form of a large cookie with the average diameter being the size of a typical cake. (hence the term "cake" or sometimes "pie") Unfortunately for the rap genre, this song seems to strengthen the long standing argument posed by most whites that rap music is nothing more than an entertainment medium catering to violent drug offenders, who want and do nothing more than carry guns and break the law.
The negative references I've identified have become an integral part of the urban African?American existence. This mutated reality is ridiculous and unacceptable. This ideology should not be permitted to continue any longer than it already has. There is an overwhelming part of the African?American community that is aware of this crippling mentality. There are also many that are unaware and unfortunately, more that do not even care. Those of us who are in the know have a responsibility to educate and enlighten those of us who are not aware of the negative behavior being perpetrated daily. Whether because of habit or misguided values, this type of ideology is cyclical and thrives off of ignorance. It should be apparent to us all that we cannot wait for some other race to come and save us. We must save ourselves! I am well aware that many of you are probably furious by now, and are thinking, what right do I have to express the opinions I have thus far, as well as those I have al
 luded too.
I have chosen to chronicle my experiences because of the diversity and seriousness of their content. There is far too much negativity thriving within our culture. There must be acknowledgment and accountability for the truth, whether good or bad. I am aware that not all of "us" have succumbed to the crippling mentality that is rampant in our community, and I have chosen to concentrate on individuals who have had a profound impact on my life. Any similarities and generalizations I illustrate are directed solely toward individuals in the black community who share the collective negative thinking and behavior that will hereafter be identified.
Additionally, throughout this book I will refer to African?Americans in four different ways; the first being "African?Americans", denoting our status as citizens in the United States; secondly, as "Black", a reference that identifies and defines our differences and struggles in this country; third, as "Niggas," a term which is often misunderstood and should not be confused with "Nigger". The term "nigga" has become an accepted form of reference among young black males used to express friendship (hence the term "My Nigga") as well as a blanket reference when speaking to, of, or about other black males in a non?personal manner. I felt it necessary to make this distinction because many of the experiences I will refer to mandate the use of the term to effectively communicate the attitude and mood that existed during the time each story took place; and fourth, as "Ghetto", this term is largely intended as an internal reference commonly understood by blacks as a means to define the
 less polished members of our community. It is important to note that the use of either term has no negative connotation and is therefore not to be associated with any feeling as such.
My commentary is based on real?life situations, both good and bad, and how one African?American man was affected by them. To that end, I feel it is necessary to acknowledge that my intention is not to condemn the individuals I have encountered. Despite the negativity they have displayed, I only want to make them aware that the selfish and self debasing attitudes they subscribed to, in many ways, has caused them to become their own worst enemy.
In the case of the black female's negative and limited perspective toward black men, the world, and subconsciously themselves, I submit that this mentality is perhaps single?handedly responsible for the lack of success, happiness, and quality of life that is at the center of every African?American woman's fantasy quest. It is also important to note that the selfish and negative attitudes at the core of the tension that exists between black women and men, has been deliberately created by "White America". For example, much of the existing resentment between black women and men can be traced as far back as slavery on up to present day. Many past issues have taken on new identities and have re?emerged in the form of corporate acceptance of black women and the corporate exclusion of black men. The resulting economic independence that some black women now enjoy has caused them to challenge and judge the black man for his absence within corporate America, without realizing and ackno
 wledging that this absence is by design.
There are other "core" issues that have been passed down and nurtured from generation to generation, such as color barriers, light skin versus dark skin, good hair versus bad hair, loyalty, devotion, and economic status. Believe it or not, there was once a time when black women refused to date a black man if he didn't sell drugs or was not "thugged out". (a term for being rough or hoodlum-like) The reasoning behind it being that the "thug," and "drug dealer" lifestyle was synonymous with financial independence.
These issues, among others, relate directly to the confused mentality that exists within our internal society. Sadly that "confused mentality" is responsible for much of the neglect the African American "ghetto" community receives at the hands of our more affluent brethren. Who have locked it away in the basement, and seems to be more concerned with convincing the rest of the world that "ghetto America does not exist. Furthermore, the lack of acknowledgement of which I speak should not be confused with the impoverished masses of the African American community. Their plight is a well-known reality, but in many cases much of ghetto America falls under that same umbrella. Be advised: this book is not a colorful or lighthearted look into "Black America". Rather it should be viewed as a legitimate tool for identifying and changing the backward thinking that so many young African Americans (including myself) have come to perpetuate. Moreover, that "backward thinking" is the main
 cause of our inability to strive for a common goal. An outcome that must be met; and can only be met, with Godly faith, positive strategy, cooperation, love, loyalty, self and mutual respect.

Subject: Rats' intestines and pigs' teeth

URL: http://boingboing.net/#85497383
Date: Not supplied

This is the headline of the month, possibly the year: "Doctors Grow Pig Teeth
in Rat Intestines." Do we even need to read the story to understand it? It's
like a freaking _haiku_ of near-singularity, future-shocky wonderment!

 U.S. doctors said on Thursday they have managed to grow living pig teeth in
 rats, a feat of biotechnology that experts said could spark a dental
 revolution.

 Researchers at Boston's Forsyth Institute said their successful experiment
 suggests the existence of dental stem cells, which could one day allow a
 person to replace a lost tooth with an identical one grown from his or her
 own cells.

 "The ability to identify, isolate and propagate dental stem cells to use in
 biological replacement tooth therapy has the potential to revolutionize
 dentistry," said Dominick DePaola, president and CEO of the institute that
 focuses on oral and facial science.

Anarchist 'Scavenger Hunt' Raises D.C. Police Ire
Sat Sep 21, 3:37 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An online "anarchist scavenger
hunt" proposed for next week's annual meeting of the
International Monetary Fund ( news - web sites) and
World Bank ( news - web sites) here has raised the ire
of police, who fear demonstrators could damage
property and wreak havoc.

Break a McDonald's window, get 300 points. Puncture a
Washington D.C. police car tire to win 75 points.
Score 400 points for a pie in the face of a corporate
executive or World Bank delegate.

D.C. Assistant Police Chief Terrance Gainer told a
congressional hearing on Friday that law authorities
were in talks to decide whether planned protests were,
"so deleterious to security efforts that we ought to
take proactive action."

Several thousand people are expected to demonstrate
outside the IMF and World Bank headquarters next
weekend.

The Anti-Capitalist Convergence, a D.C.-based
anarchist group, is also planning a day-long traffic
blockade, banner-drops and protests against major
corporations in the downtown core.

Chuck, the 37 year-old webmaster of the anarchist site
www.infoshop.org who declined to give his last name,
told Reuters his scavenger hunt was meant as a joke.

"People were asking for things to do when they come to
D.C. We made the list to get people thinking, so they
don't do the boring, standard stuff," he said. "I
doubt people will actually keep track of what they do
for points."

Hi -

( http://club.4tfox.com )

You get emails every day, offering to show you how to make money.
Most of these emails are from people who are NOT making any money.
And they expect you to listen to them?

Enough.

Subject: [Razor-users] Problem with Razor 2.14 and Spamassassin 2.41

This is my first time running Razor, heard a lot of good things about it so
I thought I'd give it a shot. I also run SpamAssassin so I'd like to
integrate the two.

I'm not sure if this problem is with SpamAssassin or Razor, so I though I'd
shoot the message here first

With a freshly installed SpamAssassin 2.41 and Razor 2.14 I'm seeing these
messages spit out from spamd:

razor2 check skipped: No such file or directory Can't call method "log" on
unblessed reference at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/Razor2/Client/Agent.pm
line 211, <STDIN> line 75.

Any ideas? razor seems to run correctly over the command line.

Thanks,

Subject: RE: Secure Sofware Key

the only way to insure a safe key is to use all the storage space in the
universe. too big to decrypt.

my point is there will never be a "safe" key. what I would consider is how
long does the data need to be protected. if you need to protect the data for
longer than 6 months, do not release it to the public. if you are trying to
stop the general public (your customer) from coping the data then use what
is available on the market. If you want to stop the bootleggers do not
release the data to the public.

I have never seen a lock that could not be unlocked. the act of unlocking
the key gives away it's secret.

the tougher the lock the more pissed-off your customers will be. take MS-XP
for example. only the home user is forced to register. think of the
nightmare if business had to register every copy. how many times have we
needed to reinstall our laptop OS? notice the amount of Mac's sold after the
XP release. these where mostly home users that converted to Mac OS.

the new Audio CD's that have digital copy protection so not play on my
computer. does this stop me from copying the CD? no. however it does make me
return them and get my money back.

the more popular the software the more likely it is to be cracked.

Subject: Re: [Razor-users] Razor: shall I use it with AMaViS or with SpamAssassin?

Depends on how you want to use it.

The default setup of running it from procmail works just fine, as long as
you remember to go into your postfix/main.cf file, and tell it to use
procmail instead of the internal delivery agent.

Both are reliable. "Reliability" is more a function of the software
engineer. I've written complicated mission-critical server software in
Java that will run without a hiccup as long as the Unix box it is
sitting on is running. Same with C. For processes that are running
months at a time, and in my case constantly touching databases and doing
lots of low-level network stuff, reliability is obtained by making sure
every conceivable problem (and problems you didn't conceive of) recovers
to a clean/safe process state so that things keep running i.e. it is a
design/programming issue.

That said, we usually prototype serious systems in Java and then
re-implement them in C if we have time. Java doesn't scale well as a
language for server apps, though not for the reasons usually offered.
The problem is that for high-end server apps, you really need fairly
detailed and low-level control of system resources to get around
bottlenecks that show up relatively quickly in languages that don't give
you access to it. You can squeeze several times the performance out of
a C server program than a Java one simply by being able to finely tune
(or more frequently, bypass) the system resource management.
Nonetheless, this is not a significant factor for most applications you
could conceivably develop in either language, as most aren't limited by
raw performance scalability.

Subject: Re: The absurdities of life.

I call PacBell/SBC every two or three months about a recurring problem
we have at my house:

We get a phone bill every month for someone who no longer lives at our
house for a phone line which has been disconnected for over three years
and the account balance is (drum roll please) $0.00! Sometimes the
people I talk to cannot locate the account in their system and tell me
that the phone number doesn't exist. Some people are able to locate the
account but say that it has been disconnected and there is no way we
could get a bill sent to us for that account. Some people can locate the
account and verify that the line has been disconnected for three years
and that the amount owed is $0.00 and then they say somthing along the
lines of "Huh?" or "I'm not sure what's going on... Hold please." And
eventually I have similar conversations with their managers and the
account representatives and billing people and their managers and their
managers' managers ad naseum.

The outcome of every phone call is that they'll "look into it" and fix
the problem and I might receive one or two more bills depending on when
it's resolved. So I wait a month or two and send the bills back marked
"Not at this address, please fsck off." and then eventually call them
back and go through the whole process again. Lately I just explain to
the phone jockeys that I know it's not their fault and I'm not mad at
them and it's just not their day because I'm about to give them hell.
Then I give them the opportunity to have me yell at their boss which
they seem all too happy to do.

At least it gives me a positive way to vent my aggressions and it's a
lot cheaper than seeing a therapist.

Perplexed,
Elias

I'm not sure they are doing strictly help-desk stuff.
But the whole 'who in their right mind would use that? it doesn't have all
these cool features!' isn't always a guarantee of failure - maybe there is a
strength in this approach (agents and/or IM as ui) than can find a nich
application space.

Kind of like a web query - and with google, someone else can turn them into
a link so you don't even have to type anything.

Yes - true true.

What about a situation where you don't directly ask/talk to the bot, but
they listen in and advise/correct/interject/etc?
example: two people discussing trips, etc. may trigger a weather bot to
mention what the forecast says - without directly being asked.

Subject: Earn 100.000$ in one year working at home

Hello

You may have seen this business before and
ignored it. I know I did - many times! However,
please take a few moments to read this letter.
I was amazed when the profit potential of this
business finally sunk in... and it works!

With easy-to-use e-mail tools and opt-in e-mail,
success in this business is now fast, easy and
well within the capabilities of ordinary people
who know little about internet marketing. And the
earnings potential is truly staggering!

I'll make you a promise. READ THIS E-MAIL TO THE END! -
follow what it says to the letter - and you will not
worry whether a RECESSION is coming or not, who is
President, or whether you keep your current job or not.
Yes, I know what you are thinking. I never responded
to one of these before either. One day though,
something just said: "You throw away $25.00 going to
a movie for 2 hours with your wife. What the heck."
Believe me, no matter where you believe those "feelings"
come from, I thank every day that I had that feeling.

I cannot imagine where I would be or what I would be
doing had I not. Read on. It's true. Every word of it.
It is legal. I checked. Simply because you are buying
and selling something of value.

AS SEEN ON NATIONAL TV:

Making over half a million dollars every 4 to 5
months from your home.

THANKS TO THE COMPUTER AGE AND THE INTERNET!
==================================================
BE AN INTERNET MILLIONAIRE LIKE OTHERS WITHIN A YEAR!!!

Before you say "Bull", please read the following.
This is the letter you have been hearing about on the
news lately. Due to the popularity of this letter on
the internet, a national weekly news program recently
devoted an entire show to the investigation of this
program described below, to see if it really can make
people money. The show also investigated whether or
not the program was legal.

Their findings proved once and for all that there are
"absolutely NO laws prohibiting the participation in
the program and if people can 'follow the simple
instructions' they are bound to make some mega bucks
with only $25 out of pocket cost".

DUE TO THE RECENT INCREASE OF POPULARITY & RESPECT
THIS PROGRAM HAS ATTAINED, IT IS CURRENTLY WORKING
BETTER THAN EVER.

This is what one had to say: "Thanks to this
profitable opportunity. I was approached many times
before but each time I passed on it. I am so glad
I finally joined just to see what one could expect
in return for the minimal effort and money required.
To my astonishment, I received a total $610,470.00
in 21 weeks, with money still coming in."

Pam Hedland, Fort Lee, New Jersey.
==================================================
Another said: "This program has been around for a
long time but I never believed in it. But one day
when I received this again in the mail I decided
to gamble my $25 on it. I followed the simple
instructions and walaa ..... 3 weeks later the
money started to come in. First month I only made
$240.00 but the next 2 months after that I made
a total of $290,000.00. So far, in the past 8 months
by re-entering the program, I have made over
$710,000.00 and I am playing it again. The key to
success in this program is to follow the simple
steps and NOT change anything."

If you would like to make at least $500,000 every
4 to 5 months easily and comfortably, please read the
following...THEN READ IT AGAIN and AGAIN!!!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

FOLLOW THE SIMPLE INSTRUCTION BELOW AND
YOUR FINANCIAL DREAMS WILL COME TRUE, GUARANTEED!

INSTRUCTIONS:

=====Order all 5 reports shown on the list below =====

For each report, send $5 CASH, THE NAME & NUMBER OF THE
REPORT YOU ARE ORDERING and YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS to the
person whose name appears ON THAT LIST next to the report.
MAKE SURE YOUR RETURN ADDRESS IS ON YOUR ENVELOPE TOP
LEFT CORNER in case of any mail problems.

===WHEN YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER, MAKE SURE ===
===YOU ORDER EACH OF THE 5 REPORTS! ===
You will need all 5 reports so that you can save
them on your computer and resell them.
YOUR TOTAL COST $5 X 5 = $25.00.

Within a few days you will receive, via e-mail, each
of the 5 reports from these 5 different individuals.
Save them on your computer so they will be accessible
for you to send to the 1,000's of people who will
order them from you. Also make a floppy of these
reports and keep it on your desk in case something
happens to your computer.

IMPORTANT - DO NOT alter the names of the people who
are listed next to each report, or their sequence on
the list, in any way other than what is instructed
below in steps 1 through 6 or you will lose out
on the majority of your profits. Once you
understand the way this works, you will also
see how it will not work if you change it.

Remember, this method has been tested, and if you
alter it, it will NOT work!!! People have tried
to put their friends'/relatives' names on all five
thinking they could get all the money. But it does
not work this way. Believe us, some have tried to
be greedy and then nothing happened. So Do Not
try to change anything other than what is instructed.
Because if you do, it will not work for you.
Remember, honesty reaps the reward!!!

This IS a legitimate BUSINESS. You are offering a
product for sale and getting paid for it. Treat it
as such and you will be VERY profitable in a short
period of time.

1.. After you have ordered all 5 reports, take this
advertisement and REMOVE the name & address of the
person in REPORT # 5. This person has made it through
the cycle and is no doubt counting their fortune.

2.. Move the name & address in REPORT # 4 down TO REPORT # 5.

3.. Move the name & address in REPORT # 3 down TO REPORT # 4.

4.. Move the name & address in REPORT # 2 down TO REPORT # 3.

5.. Move the name & address in REPORT # 1 down TO REPORT # 2

6.... Insert YOUR name & address in the REPORT # 1 Position.

PLEASE MAKE SURE you copy every name & address
ACCURATELY! This is critical to YOUR success.

==================================================
**** Take this entire letter, with the modified
list of names, and save it on your computer.
DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES.

Save this on a disk as well just in case you lose
any data. To assist you with marketing your business
on the internet, the 5 reports you purchase will
provide you with invaluable marketing information
which includes how to send bulk e-mails legally,
where to find thousands of free classified ads and
much more. There are 2 primary methods to get this
venture going:

METHOD # 1: BY SENDING BULK E-MAIL LEGALLY
==================================================

Let's say that you decide to start small, just to see
how it goes, and we will assume you and those involved
send out only 5,000 e-mails each. Let's also assume
that the mailing receives only a 0.2% (2/10 of 1%)
response (the response could be much better but let's
just say it is only 0.2%). Also many people will send
out hundreds of thousands of e-mails instead of only
5,000 each.

Continuing with this example, you send out only
5,000 e-mails. With a 0.2% response, that is only
10 orders for report # 1. Those 10 people responded
by sending out 5,000 e-mails each for a total of
50,000. Out of those 50,000 e-mails only 0.2%
responded with orders. That's 100 people who
responded and ordered Report # 2.

Those 100 people mail out 5,000 e-mails each for
a total of 500,000 e-mails. The 0.2% response to
that is 1000 orders for Report # 3.

Those 1000 people send 5,000 e-mails each for a
total of 5 million e-mails sent out. The 0.2%
response is 10,000 orders for Report # 4.

Those 10,000 people send out 5,000 e-mails each
for a total of 50,000,000 (50 million) e-mails.
The 0.2% response to that is 100,000 orders for
Report # 5.

THAT'S 100,000 ORDERS TIMES $5 EACH = $500,000.00
(half a million dollars).

Your total income in this example is: 1..... $50
+ 2..... $500 + 3.....$5,000 + 4..... $50,000
+ 5.... $500,000 .... Grand Total=$555,550.00

NUMBERS DO NOT LIE. GET A PENCIL & PAPER AND
FIGURE OUT THE WORST POSSIBLE RESPONSES AND NO
MATTER HOW YOU CALCULATE IT, YOU WILL STILL
MAKE A LOT OF MONEY!
==================================================

REMEMBER FRIEND, THIS IS ASSUMING ONLY 10 PEOPLE
ORDERING OUT OF 5,000 YOU MAILED TO. Dare to think
for a moment what would happen if everyone or half
or even one 4th of those people mailed 100,000
e-mails each or more?

There are over 150 million people on the internet
worldwide and counting, with thousands more coming
online every day. Believe me, many people will do
just that, and more!

METHOD # 2: BY PLACING FREE ADS ON THE INTERNET
==================================================

Advertising on the net is very, very inexpensive and
there are hundreds of FREE places to advertise.
Placing a lot of free ads on the internet will
easily get a larger response. We strongly suggest
you start with Method # 1 and add METHOD # 2 as you
go along. For every $5 you receive, all you must
do is e-mail them the report they ordered. That's it.
Always provide same day service on all orders.

This will guarantee that the e-mail they send out,
with your name and address on it, will be prompt
because they cannot advertise until they receive
the report.

===========AVAILABLE REPORTS ====================
The reason for the "cash" is not because this is
illegal or somehow "wrong". It is simply about time.
Time for checks or credit cards to be cleared or
approved, etc. Concealing it is simply so no one
can SEE there is money in the envelope and steal
it before it gets to you.

ORDER EACH REPORT BY ITS NUMBER & NAME ONLY.
Notes: Always send $5 cash (U.S. CURRENCY) for
each report. Checks NOT accepted. Make sure the
cash is concealed by wrapping it in at least
2 sheets of paper. On one of those sheets of
paper, write the NUMBER & the NAME of the report
you are ordering, YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS and your
name and postal address.

$$$$$$$$$ YOUR SUCCESS GUIDELINES $$$$$$$$$$$

Follow these guidelines to guarantee your success:

=== If you do not receive at least 10 orders for
Report #1 within 2 weeks, continue sending e-mails
until you do.

=== After you have received 10 orders, 2 to 3 weeks
after that you should receive 100 orders or more for
REPORT # 2. If you do not, continue advertising or
sending e-mails until you do.

** Once you have received 100 or more orders for
Report # 2, YOU CAN RELAX, because the system is
already working for you, and the cash will continue
to roll in ! THIS IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER: Every time
your name is moved down on the list, you are placed
in front of a different report.

You can KEEP TRACK of your PROGRESS by watching which
report people are ordering from you. IF YOU WANT TO
GENERATE MORE INCOME SEND ANOTHER BATCH OF E-MAILS
AND START THE WHOLE PROCESS AGAIN. There is NO LIMIT
to the income you can generate from this business !!!
=================================================
FOLLOWING IS A NOTE FROM THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS PROGRAM:
You have just received information that can give you
financial freedom for the rest of your life, with
NO RISK and JUST A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT. You can
make more money in the next few weeks and months
than you have ever imagined. Follow the program
EXACTLY AS INSTRUCTED. Do Not change it in any way.
It works exceedingly well as it is now.

Remember to e-mail a copy of this exciting report
after you have put your name and address in
Report #1 and moved others to #2 .....# 5 as
instructed above. One of the people you send this
to may send out 100,000 or more e-mails and your
name will be on every one of them.

Remember though, the more you send out the more
potential customers you will reach. So my friend,
I have given you the ideas, information, materials
and opportunity to become financially independent.

IT IS UP TO YOU NOW !

=============MORE TESTIMONIALS===============
"My name is Mitchell. My wife, Jody and I live in
Chicago. I am an accountant with a major U.S.
Corporation and I make pretty good money. When I
received this program I grumbled to Jody about
receiving 'junk mail'. I made fun of the whole
thing, spouting my knowledge of the population
and percentages involved. I 'knew' it wouldn't work.
Jody totally ignored my supposed intelligence and
few days later she jumped in with both feet. I made
merciless fun of her, and was ready to lay the old
'I told you so' on her when the thing didn't work.

Well, the laugh was on me! Within 3 weeks she had
received 50 responses. Within the next 45 days she
had received total $ 147,200.00 ......... all cash!
I was shocked. I have joined Jody in her 'hobby'."

Mitchell Wolf M.D., Chicago, Illinois
================================================
"Not being the gambling type, it took me several
weeks to make up my mind to participate in this plan.
But conservative as I am, I decided that the initial
investment was so little that there was just no way
that I wouldn't get enough orders to at least get
my money back. I was surprised when I found my
medium size post office box crammed with orders.
I made $319,210.00 in the first 12 weeks.

The nice thing about this deal is that it does not
matter where people live. There simply isn't a
better investment with a faster return and so big."

Dan Sondstrom, Alberta, Canada
=================================================
"I had received this program before. I deleted it,
but later I wondered if I should have given it a try.
Of course, I had no idea who to contact to get
another copy, so I had to wait until I was e-mailed
again by someone else......... 11 months passed then
it luckily came again...... I did not delete this one!
I made more than $490,000 on my first try and all the
money came within 22 weeks."

Susan De Suza, New York, N.Y.
=================================================
"It really is a great opportunity to make relatively
easy money with little cost to you. I followed the
simple instructions carefully and within 10 days the
money started to come in. My first month I made $20,
in the 2nd month I made $560.00 and by the end of the
third month my total cash count was $362,840.00.
Life is beautiful, Thanx to internet."

Subject: Slaughter in the Name of God

An old Indian friend forwarded this to me a while ago.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A58173-2002Mar7¬Found=true

Slaughter in the Name of God
By Salman Rushdie
Friday, March 8, 2002; Page A33 Washington Post

The defining image of the week, for me, is of a small child's burned and
blackened arm, its tiny fingers curled into a fist, protruding from the
remains of a human bonfire in Ahmadabad, Gujarat, in India. The murder
of children is something of an Indian specialty. The routine daily
killings of unwanted girl babies . . . the massacre of innocents in
Nellie, Assam, in the 1980s when village turned against neighboring
village . . . the massacre of Sikh children in Delhi during the
horrifying reprisal murders that followed Indira Gandhi's assassination:
They bear witness to our particular gift, always most dazzlingly in
evidence at times of religious unrest, for dousing our children in
kerosene and setting them alight, or cutting their throats, or
smothering them or just clubbing them to death with a good strong length
of wood.

I say "our" because I write as an Indian man, born and bred, who loves
India deeply and knows that what one of us does today, any of us is
potentially capable of doing tomorrow. If I take pride in India's
strengths, then India's sins must be mine as well. Do I sound angry?
Good. Ashamed and disgusted? I certainly hope so. Because, as India
undergoes its worst bout of Hindu-Muslim bloodletting in more than a
decade, many people have not been sounding anything like angry, ashamed
or disgusted enough. Police chiefs have been excusing their men's
unwillingness to defend the citizens of India, without regard to
religion, by saying that these men have feelings too and are subject to
the same sentiments as the nation in general.

Meanwhile, India's political masters have been tut-tutting and offering
the usual soothing lies about the situation being brought under control.
(It has escaped nobody's notice that the ruling party, the Bharatiya
Janata Party (BJP), or Indian People's Party, and the Hindu extremists
of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), or World Hindu Council, are sister
organizations and offshoots of the same parent body.) Even some
international commentators, such as Britain's Independent newspaper,
urge us to "beware excess pessimism."

The horrible truth about communal slaughter in India is that we're used
to it. It happens every so often; then it dies down. That's how life is,
folks. Most of the time India is the world's largest secular democracy;
and if, once in a while, it lets off a little crazy religious steam, we
mustn't let that distort the picture.

Of course, there are political explanations. Ever since December 1992,
when a VHP mob demolished a 400-year-old Muslim mosque in Ayodhya, which
they claim was built on the sacred birthplace of the god Ram, Hindu
fanatics have been looking for this fight. The pity of it is that some
Muslims were ready to give it to them. Their murderous attack on the
train-load of VHP activists at Godhra (with its awful, atavistic echoes
of the killings of Hindus and Muslims by the train-load during the
partition riots of 1947) played right into the Hindu extremists' hands.

The VHP has evidently tired of what it sees as the equivocations and
insufficient radicalism of India's BJP government. Prime Minister Atal
Bihari Vajpayee is more moderate than his party; he also heads a
coalition government and has been obliged to abandon much of the BJP's
more extreme Hindu nationalist rhetoric to hold the coalition together.
But it isn't working anymore. In state elections across the country, the
BJP is being trounced. This may have been the last straw for the VHP
firebrands. Why put up with the government's betrayal of their fascistic
agenda when that betrayal doesn't even result in electoral success?

The electoral failure of the BJP is thus, in all probability, the spark
that lit the fire. The VHP is determined to build a Hindu temple on the
site of the demolished Ayodhya mosque -- that's where the Godhra dead
were coming from -- and there are, reprehensibly, idiotically,
tragically, Muslims in India equally determined to resist them. Vajpayee
has insisted that the slow Indian courts must decide the rights and
wrongs of the Ayodhya issue. The VHP is no longer prepared to wait.

The distinguished Indian writer Mahasveta Devi, in a letter to India's
president, K. R. Narayanan, blames the Gujarat government (led by a BJP
hard-liner) as well as the central government for doing "too little too
late." She pins the blame firmly on the "motivated, well-planned out and
provocative actions" of the Hindu nationalists. But another writer, the
Nobel laureate V. S. Naipaul, speaking in India just a week before the
violence erupted, denounced India's Muslims en masse and praised the
nationalist movement.

The murderers of Godhra must indeed be denounced, and Mahasveta Devi in
her letter demands "stern legal action" against them. But the VHP is
determined to destroy that secular democracy in which India takes such
public pride and which it does so little to protect; and by supporting
them, Naipaul makes himself a fellow traveler of fascism and disgraces
the Nobel award.

The political discourse matters, and explains a good deal. But there's
something beneath it, something we don't want to look in the face:
namely, that in India, as elsewhere in our darkening world, religion is
the poison in the blood. Where religion intervenes, mere innocence is no
excuse. Yet we go on skating around this issue, speaking of religion in
the fashionable language of "respect." What is there to respect in any
of this, or in any of the crimes now being committed almost daily around
the world in religion's dreaded name? How well, with what fatal results,
religion erects totems, and how willing we are to kill for them! And
when we've done it often enough, the deadening of affect that results
makes it easier to do it again.

So India's problem turns out to be the world's problem. What happened in
India has happened in God's name. The problem's name is God.
