Also, you can get a SCSI to FireWire adapter from Orange Micro.
The Orange Converter is a unique device for Mac and PC users allowing SCSI peripherals to connect to FireWire 1394 ports. The Orange Converter easily attaches to any Macintosh FireWire port or any Windows based PC that has FireWire ports, and converts all SCSI data from your SCSI peripheral, both input and output. iMac owners with FireWire ports can now have access to SCSI peripherals. Macintosh G3 and G4 owners who are "slot challenged" can use the Orange Converter to save a valuable PCI slot by removing any existing SCSI PCI host adapter card.
The bill House Bill No. 246, Indiana State Legislature, 1897, reportedly set the value of pi to an incorrect rational approximation.
The following is the text of the bill:
HOUSE BILL NO. 246
"A bill for an act introducing a new mathematical truth and offered as a contribution to education to be used only by the State of Indiana free of cost by paying any royalties whatever on the same, provided it is accepted and adopted by the official action of the legislature of 1897.
"Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana: It has been found that a circular area is to the square on a line equal to the quadrant of the circumference, as the area of an equilateral rectangle is to the square on one side. The diameter employed as the linear unit according to the present rule in computing the circle's area is entirely wrong, as it represents the circles area one and one-fifths times the area of a square whose perimeter is equal to the circumference of the circle. This is because one-fifth of the diameter fils to be represented four times in the circle's circumference. For example: if we multiply the perimeter of a square by one-fourth of any line one-fifth greater than one side, we can, in like manner make the square's area to appear one fifth greater than the fact, as is done by taking the diameter for the linear unit instead of the quadrant of the circle's circumference.
You can get some nice insight into the huge problems with Meader's sight over at http://www.mosr.net/. The problem seems to be that certain Slashdot editors like him, unaware of the gaping holes which appear in his reporting on an alarmingly consistent basis. Perhaps he'll finally be exposed with this latest fabricated story. Apple should sue him for libel. Bongs away!
That would more than adequately explain NSI's behavior. They have always been motivated by pure greed with no desire to make the net a better place. It's a disgrace that NSI is still in business. The central database needs to be recovered & companies who behave like NSI need to be removed from registrar status.
This sounds like an excuse to sell another round of modems to the unsuspecting end-user. Refinements are nice, but I suspect the new modems will cost more than what you are getting. Will flash-rom upgradeable modems be able to handle the new protocol, or will new hardware/software be mandatory?
I believe my sig still contains a link to a nice site with lots of info on recreational drug use. I highly recommend it (sorry). (Site might be down right about now.)
The courts have shown on many occasions that they are incapable of understanding the technology behind the Internet. Do not give them a law which they can mess up with the severe result of a person going to jail for 7 years. Besides, making viruses is a good thing for the health of the Internet. Without viruses, the holes in our security will not be known. These holes can be fixed, but only if we know about them (or, in Microsoft's case, if we know about them twice). I do not want to live in the future where true terrorists can use viruses to truly damage the Internet because we did not allow them today.
This reminds me of when the United States was "pretty pissed off" by the European Union's decision to drop all export regulations on encryption software. Yep, we were pretty pissed off. Except no mention of being pissed off appeared in the article. Taco inferred it. What great journalism!
QikDRIVE1 (maximum capacity 1GB) and QikDRIVE8 (maximum capacity 8GB) are available now. Pricing varies depending on configuration. As an example, suggested retail price (ex-tax) for 512MB is $2,500; and $16,000 for 4GB. QikCACHE1 (max. 1GB) and QikCACHE8 (max. 8GB) are available from April 2000. QikDATA8 (max. 8GB) will be available for shipment in June 2000.
Found here. At today's exchange rate, that's about $1,429 USD for 512MB and $9,145 USD for 4GB.

Why are you guys using PDF? It's a proprietary standard.. kindof goes against the grain of free softwae, don't you think? Why not use TeX, HTML, or postscript?
You do not even mention Adobe Acrobat. PDF is not a proprietary standard. PDF is an open specification, usable by anyone who wants to take the time to implement it. Kind of like HTML or TXT.
I've read your previous complaints about moderation, Signal 11, but when you post in this manner (lying about you past post, troll-like), you serve only to strengthen the arguments of those against you.
Encryption is the process of coding and decoding information to ensure its privacy. The encryption of computer data may well be the most powerful tool peaceful individuals have to protect themselves against Big Brother. Predictably, Big Brother is eager to control it. The rationale, as expressed in A Report to the President of the United States (Sept. 16, 1999): "American history has been punctuated by periods in which the National government had to respond to sweeping social, economic and technological developments." Speaking of cyberspace as a "new tool", the government claims that technology raises new issues to which it must respond in new ways.
Buncombe. The issues are the same as they have always been. In 1785, a resolution authorized the secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs to open and inspect any mail that related to the safety and interests of the United States. The ensuing 'inspections' caused prominent men, like George Washington, to complain of mail tampering. According to various historians, it led James Madison, Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe to write to each other in code - that is, they encrypted their letters - in order to preserve the privacy of their political discussion.
The U.S. Founding Fathers used encryption to avoid government monitoring. Today, the U.S. government has relaxed much of its crypto export restrictions, but after reading the above article I can see we need to be a lot more vigilant about insuring free, unrestricted communications for everyone. The police-state policies of the NSA and FBI need to stop.
From the article: ...there is mistrust towards American encryption products which are believed to be weakened by the American intelligence agencies, or have secret backdoors... and...affirmed the United States pressured the European Union to withhold the decision. 'But the European Union does not make their policies dependent on the opinion of the United States.'
The article does not say that the United States is "pretty pissed off" by this decision. That is pure speculation.
And just recently the MPAA shut down an Oxford student's website for his DeCSS cascading style sheet HTML page filter, mistaking it for Jon Johansen's excellent DeCSS dvd content scrambling system decoder (not copier).

Indiana actually did pass this law, back in the late 19th century. I've never heard of the LA or CA references though. You can find Indiana referenced here: http://www.cs.unb.ca/~ alopez-o/math-faq/mathtext/node18.html. An excerpt:

NO,NO,NO,No.
By design, the software promotes music file sharing, of the MP3 variety, with the full knowledge of the user.
How can you claim ignorance of the very method of sharing the program uses to operate?
How can you claim a program which swaps music files forces its users to neglect copyright?

This is just another excuse for Austalia (its government) to censor the Net down under.
There was no evidence that any of the jurors had seen the information, so why dismiss the jury?
Answer: to scare the public that the Internet will make it so crimes go unpunished. Thus, to further scare the public into accepting Net censorship.
Please click-through and read the brief article found at the link at the top of my post.
