They have been working on that Rescuers sequel a long time. I first
|
|
heard it was to be relased last year.
|
|
Starlog carries some updates on fantasy film releases. Fantasia
|
|
will be listed in their film calandar if its re-relased.

>god calls it murder.
|
|
|
|
I'll take your (or her) word for it; I haven't talked personally with
|
|
god recently, so I wouldn't know what he calls it. Considering how
|
|
between 60 and 80% of all fertilized human eggs never make it to
|
|
childhood naturally, the majority of which simply fail to attach to the
|
|
uterus and are absorbed or expelled, I'd say that if god /does/ call
|
|
it murder, it must be an activity he approves of. Otherwise, of course,
|
|
one could expect that the system wouldn't have been built that way.
|
|
|
|
Arguments from religion don't impress me. After all, at various times
|
|
in history god has been quoted as saying that the world is flat, all
|
|
non-Catholics should be tortured to death, books like "Charlotte's
|
|
Web" are immoral and should be burned, and your bank account really
|
|
ought to be turned over to Oral Roberts (before he gets called home).
|
|
This means that either god is a real unreliable source of information
|
|
or the people who are quoting him are simply...um, mistaken.

Sigmund Freud coined the term "anal retentive;" he catagorized most
|
|
people as being "oral compulsive" (these are people who are always
|
|
biting the ends of pencils and the like, and are generally sloppy,
|
|
fidgity, and disorganized) and "anal retentive" (these are the people
|
|
who were potty trained too early; they're compulsively neat and tidy,
|
|
and do things like line up sharp pencils on an otherwise clear desk).
|
|
I never could fathom Freud's fascination with pencils.

--- Just as a disclaimer, the opinion expressed really is that of

Chip P. Unicorn, but really addressed to the Specialist's girlfriend. --
|
|
|
|
Several questions:
|
|
1. Which god?
|
|
2. How do you define murder?
|
|
3. How do you define abortion?
|
|
4. What do we do with all the unwanted children that would result
|
|
if abortion wasn't legal? (If you diatribe back at me "Adoption, not
|
|
abortion" -- How many children have you adopted?)
|
|
5. What real solutions do you have to the problems that cause
|
|
unwanted pregnancies?
|
|
6. Is all abortion immoral? (assuming, of course, that murder is
|
|
immoral.) How about diseased children who won't survive a month? Who
|
|
wouldn't survive two months? A year? Two years? Twelve? What if they'll
|
|
live a normal-span life, but are a vegetable for their lives? What if
|
|
they're deformed? If you set a limit on when abortions can be placed,
|
|
what is that limit?
|
|
7. If you say abortion cannot be performed under any circumstances,
|
|
what of a child born with AIDS -- and would cost his parents literally
|
|
tens (maybe hundreds) of thousands of dollars to keep? Who pays for
|
|
that? Or, who helps "crack babies"?
|
|
|
|
Mind you -- I'm not attacking you. I'm honestly asking for answers
|
|
-- your answers, please... -- to those questions. Myself, I'm a born-
|
|
again Christian who isn't so certain that either side of the abortion
|
|
question are right. But, I'm interested in talking with both sides...
|
|
You might convert me....

I like the idea about puting the back ground in the D/l's, you could
|
|
also put the story so far in the d/l's too. One of my biggest hang
|
|
ups as a latecomer was that i only knew the last 100 messages or
|
|
so, which were exciting, but not all that helpful for entering
|
|
the story..it gets very complicated, and unless you have been following
|
|
the story, its nearly imposible to find a little nooke where a new
|
|
player would fit. If you could go off line, and read the messages
|
|
through, at your own pace, and find a spot where a new person
|
|
would be benefichal to the story, and you could get some idea of
|
|
where this is all supposed to be going. On WD the basic quest was
|
|
discovered early in the story, and basically only the sub problems
|
|
were discussed for a long time, so its hard to tell what you should
|
|
be trying to help/hinder accomplishing...well, its only a suggestion, an
|

long time, but hopefully it will help at least a little...

Okay, but the tape line-up (if you get a copy) is like this:
|
|
|
|
The Main video will be 2nd generation because I /had/ to edit out about
|
|
10 minutes where the tape *royally* screwed up....
|
|
The TURTLE CAM is 2nd generation as well...
|
|
The music video is 3rd generation...I had to copy from camcorder to
|
|
to vhs (the main copy) and back to camcorder for the flying erase
|
|
head, and then, finally, back to VHS to add the music....The picture
|
|
isn't /that/ bad, but it would be better if Iactually used /new/
|
|
camcorder tapes, and had something /besides/ a 2-head vcr...basically,
|
|
the tape in SP looks like a 1st or 2nd generation in SLP mode....

So, has she talked to god recently, and which god might that be?
|
|

Do they let her out of her padded room on week-ends?

(Or does she not usually speak of her conversations w/ god?)

It can't actually clean up a signal that's already degraded, but the
|
|
copies it produces look pretty much like the original--no degredation
|
|
at all. I think it can sort of maybe fix a graphled sync signal, too,

a little bit, sometimes, possibly. It's a pretty neat machine.

BBS COMMUNITY IN MOURNING AFTER EXPLOSION
|
|
|
|
Sarasota (Turtle Press): The Sarasota BBS community suffered a tragic
|
|
loss this afternoon when Remote Control went down due to a catastrophic
|
|
failure of a mass storage device. Tyler Robinson, sysop of Remote
|
|
Control, reports that the system was experiencing difficulty with its
|
|
serial I/O devices earlier this week. A call to a local repair shop
|
|
produced a technician who suggested that he switch around the cables
|
|
running into his 1581 disk drive. When this was done and the computer
|
|
was powered up, Tyler says, "It shot out lots of sparks from the 1581,
|
|
and it caught fire." The extent of the damage is not yet known, but
|
|
the board may be down for "a real long time."
|
|
No one was injured in the explosion.

Dear Turtle,
|
|
Hate to say this, but God doesn't have a fax machine. His Son bought
|
|
one to keep in touch with some of His business associates, and His Wife
|
|
occasionally sends recipes through it, but as far as I know, He Himself
|
|
hasn't used it.
|
|
However, He does have a two hundred line telephone system to His
|
|
house... if you can get past His secretary. And occasionally His Uncle
|
|
answers for Him, but only occasionally. The Southern Baptists usually
|
|
reach the Uncle...
|
|
How do I know this? Visited His House one night, when I was dating
|
|
His Daughter.
|
|
|
|
Although I hate to say it, I agree with you. Too many people have
|
|
used God as an excuse to force their views on others. The God of the
|
|
New Testament threw away the old laws -- why do people still feel that
|
|
they're under them? (Some of the moralizing reminds me of comments by
|
|
Jesus to the Pharisees...)

It was amazing! Shot sparks 5-feet across the room! I never knew
|
|
my computer was capable of sending that much power through the serial
|
|
port! Initial diagnosis points to the printer interface short-circuting
|
|
and sending a power jolt along the srial cable to everything Iown except
|
|
my Amiga! Fortunately, the only damaged parties seem to be the 1581 and
|
|
my printer...it seems the 1581 absorbed the shock and triggered an auto-
|
|
shutdown, which gave me the impression my 128D was dead, but it was just
|
|
because the 1581 made /everything/ shut down and blocked the serial
|
|
cable output to keep the surge contained.....pretty smart drive if you
|
|
ask me! Anyways, the BBS is back up on a /very/ limited basis running
|
|
off of only one drive, Hopefully my 1581 will be fixed /very/ soon,
|
|
the repair tech said that since the 1581 still turns on and tries to
|
|
boot a disk that "You were lucky, it should be fixed this afternoon."
|
|
But, that's what they always say...anyways, stay tuned for updates..

Dear Turtle,

Not really. In most cases, simulated crime people (including the
|
|
stoorkeeper) get paid a sure amount. In real crime, the amount made
|
|
is either piffle -- or, there's a fair chance of getting caught and

losing more than one gained. (in court costs.) Of course, there's

white-collar crime, which pays wonderfully well...

Not necessarily. Depends on your god. I mean -- if Karsten Henckell

Then again, C. S. Lewis admitted that Christ must have been either

If you're an exacting artist who wants absolutely true-to-life

Dear Sauron,
|
|
You've misunderstood me. I actually AM quite interested in hearing
|
|
the responses of the Specialist's girlfriend to those questions. Heck --
|
|
I'd be interested in hearing MY answers to those questions.
|
|
|
|
I am neither pro-choice nor pro-life. (Okay, okay... neither pro-
|
|
death nor anti-choice.) I have not been convinced that either extreme
|
|
is what our country needs. Although I am born-again, I am also a
|
|
Libertarian -- and my born-again-edness does NOT mean I am necessarily
|
|
conservative, politically. I have met many born-again Christians (one
|
|
of which lead the New College Bible Study four years ago) who are also
|
|
vehemently pro-choice.
|
|
I am opposed to the pro-lifers in that they don't really provide
|
|
solutions to the problems that would happen if abortion were outlawed.
|
|
Many mistake slogans for solutions. Thousands have "Adoption, not
|
|
abortion" bumper stickers, but they themselves haven't adopted any
|
|
children -- let alone the children who would be difficult to adopt.
|
|
(That is, "crack babies," or babies born with genetic diseases.) They
|
|
have no solutions for should happen after abortion is made illegal,
|
|
and they generally don't practice what they preach.
|
|
I am opposed to the pro-choicers because one of their main reasons:
|
|
"If abortion were outlawed, people would still seek them out." is
|
|
worthless. This argument also works perfectly for murder and rape --
|
|
heck, any crime. A second issue "the reproductive freedom of the woman"
|
|
is probably better taken care of by birth control.
|
|
|
|
I'll admit -- I don't have a solution. In my "perfect world,"
|
|
abortions wouldn't ever be necessary, because there would exist a
|
|
100%-successful birth control device that's easy to use (preferably a
|
|
one-application thing that lasts forever), easily reversable, and
|
|
does not detract from the joy of sex, and cheap, and that EVERYONE
|
|
knows about it. (Through schooling.) If this existed, abortions would
|
|
become unnecessary, and could be removed.

Not displayed at one time, but I can think of applications where a
|
|
greater palette range would be necessary--for instance, if you were
|
|
doing video animation work, i.e., recording each frame of the movie
|
|
separately onto a VCR, or digitizing external video sources in order to
|
|
add animation or special effects. Right now, the Mac II is the only
|
|
microcomputer whose off-the-shelf graphics capabilities are at this
|
|
level, but the Amiga can be shoved into that range for less than the
|
|
price of a low-end Mac II -- and the software for doing animation and
|
|
complex VCR control (genlock, frame grabbing, sound synchs, etc.) is
|
|
considerably better for the Amiga than for any graphics system I've
|
|
seen, including a few $40K dedicated graphics workstations.

I've seen that argument. It's interesting, but it eliminates the second

possibility by stating that anyone who was lying must be doing it for

evil ends, which would have been at odds with the teachings, therefore
|

that couldn't have been what was really going on -- Q.E.D. For an

even though he is not what he says he is, and he knows he's lying

Actually, I would rather they not bother to colorize movies at all.
|
|
Some motion pictures, like pen-and-ink drawings, look better in black
|
|
and white, especially if (like the drawings) they were created with
|
|
that "limitation" in mind. Colorizing a movie correctly would require
|
|
extremely sophisticated shading effects and wouldn't be cost-effective,
|
|
hence, the dopey colors colorized films end up with. Anyone who would
|
|
refuse to watch a movie because it is black-and-white probably isn't
|
|
able to "get" complex movies to begin with, color or not, and would be

just as baffled by "Blade Runner" as by "Citizen Kane". Such people are

better off sticking to "Ice Pirates" and drooling in their Kool-Aid.

Since that is essentially a value judgement, I don't see how you're
|
|
going to /prove/ that abortion is or is not homicide. The decision to
|
|
have an abortion is an individual one with absolutely no hard and fast
|
|
moral rules to guide it, despite what all the fanatics on both sides of
|
|
the issue say, and those who think it's wrong have no right to impose
|
|
that view on people who don't agree with them. If you are uninvolved
|
|
with the people in question, you simply don't have the authority to
|
|
tell them how to decide--unless perhaps you were planning to adopt
|
|
the unwanted baby. If you /aren't/ willing to go that far for your
|
|
beliefs, well, don't try forcing them down someone else's throat.

DigiView digitizes in 16M colors, but it still only displays 4096 on
|
|
the screen! It does use dithering effects, though, so in hi-res mode on
|
|
an expensive monitor it looks like you're getting around 100,000.
|
|
DigiView and a few other Amiga graphics programs, like Turbo Silver,
|
|
use 16M or 24M-color "virtual palettes" so if you port their pictures
|
|
over to a high-end graphics system that can display all those colors,
|
|
their output takes full advantage of it.
|
|
I know of at least one case where a company uses the MS-DOS Targa
|
|
display system for the final output, but uses Turbo Silver to do all the
|
|
actual "work" because the Targa's software lags far behind the Amiga's--
|
|
despite the fact that Targa has been around for about 6 years...

Good point. I would not refuse to watch a movie in balck and white.
|

One of my favorite movies is "A Hard Day's Night" which is black and
|
|
white.Some films would loose something in black and white though (ever
|

see "Yellow Submarine"???)

I'm getting better at watching more dramatic movies and movies with a

Well, that works to some extent, but when you put a color over some-

Will youse guys stop with the "Ice Pirates" already? I /loved/ that

the human condition. It wasn't quite as profound as some movies I've

seen, like, say, "Death Wish 3" or "Cobra," but on the whole I think

it displayed a remarkable sensitivity to the plight of its characters

and was in general just a milestone on the road of cinematographic

achievement...a masterpiece future generations will gaze at in awe.

Ice Pirates is notable, albeit in a warped way, for starring Ron
|
|
Perelman, who went on to play Vincent on "Beauty & the Beast". Ice
|
|
Pirates was the second of two or three stupid movies Perelman was in,
|
|
and in all of them he was wearing heavy facial makeup. After Pirates he
|
|
told his agent to never give him another role that required six-hour
|

effects make-up before each scene. The agent, of course, ignored him.

Dear Yngling,
|
|
I';ve been erring on th liberal side, calling abortion a "necessary
|
|
evil" -- by no means even a good solution, but unfortunately a
|
|
solution that people rely on.
|
|
If George Bush is really anti-abortion, he should give a lot of
|
|
money to scientists to create better birth control methods -- and money
|
|
to educate students about the importance of birth control. A lot of
|
|
conservatives are shocked by this idea -- but if there's no abortion,
|
|
there has GOT to be some alternative to keep unwanted children from
|
|
being procduced. (Please don't quote from the Gospel of Abstention. It
|
|
doesn't work in a mass scale.)

Glad you asked. According to Webster's New Universal Unabridged
|
|
Dictionary (you know, the one which gives hernias to everything under
|
|
the size of a Clydesdale...), it gives the following definition of
|
|
a stoor:
|
|
1. Combat or conflict. 2. Turmoil. 3. A storm. 4. Wind-blown dust.
|
|
|
|
So, then a stoorkeeper is one who keeps either combat, conflict,
|
|
turmoil, storms, or wind-blown dust. If you wish to become a stoor-
|
|
keeper, I woud advise the last one... it's the easiest to box, and
|
|
you might be able to sell some. Then again, some sysops of local
|
|
BBS's are excellent at keeping the first two.
