3 Welcome to BWMS (BackWater Message System) Mike Day System operator
|
||
6 THIS SYSTEM.
|
||
7 BWMS was created as an electronic bill board. BWMS is a privatly owned
|
||
8 and operated system which is currently open for use by the general public.
|
||
9 No restrictions are placed on the use of the system.
|
||
10 It is intended that the system be normally used for messages and
|
||
11 advertisments by the users. As the system is privatly owned, I retain the
|
||
12 right to remove any and all messages which I may find offensive
|
||
13 to me. Additionally because of the limited size of the system, it will be
|
||
14 periodically purged of older messages. (only 629 lines of data can be saved)
|
||
15 The saved information will be cycled to drive 'B' while the information on
|
||
16 drive 'B' will be archived, and a fresh disk will be installed in drive 'A'.
|
||
17 To leave a message, type 'ENTER' and use ctrl/C or break to get out
|
||
18 of the enter mode. The message is automaticly stored.
|
||
19 If after entering the message you find you made a mistake,
|
||
20 use the replace command to replace the line.
|
||
21 To exit from the system, type 'OFF' then hang up.
|
||
22 Type 'HELP' to see other commands that are available on the system.

25 Leonard:
|
||
26 I am at a real loss as to why you are experiencing the drop out.
|
||
27 The other users don't seem to be having the problem, several have tryed
|
||
28 it as have I and do not have that problem. By this, I can only assume
|
||
29 that the problem exists at your end. Are you running a smart modem?
|
||
30 If so maybe the data string is giving it fits. Or possibly the same
|
||
31 for a smart terminal program. Sorry I can't offer any more help then
|
||
32 to say it's all your fault, but I don't know what else there is.

|

40 Note: to the creeps out there that have been calling at times other than Sunday,
|
||
41 This new line does not have anything connected to it except the computer-
|
||
42 so you can call anytime (you just won't get an answer unless it's up). You
|
||
43 can also call the old number, (and incur the wrath of Ma Bell-- there's a

44 referral on it).

53 Dear CONCERNED:
|
||
54 Very Interesting, if true. I'm not thrilled with ABATE (i have
|
||
55 objections to someone smashing their brains out all over my car).
|
||
56 But the Hells Angels connection is new. Can you document this? I
|
||
57 would be very interested in this information and would help spread the
|
||
58 word if I can get reprints of articles or can quote 60 Minutes or something
|
||
59 similar.

|

63 - Mikey, I have been expieriencing dropouts also. I am using -
|
||
64 - a Hayes Smartmodem 300. I called up once, tried to ENTER -
|
||
65 - something and it gave me "NO CARRIER". I called back, got -
|
||
66 - about half way through and it said "NO CARRIER". I called -
|
||
67 - back even after that, and entered the rest of the message. -
|
||
68 - I was just about to EXIT and it gave me "NO CARRIER". I -
|
||
69 - also get quite a bit of garbage on my end. I'm happy to say -
|
||
70 - that everything has cleared. -

|
||
73 HMMM.. could it be we had a bad line somewhere? How about you
|
||
74 Leonard, has your problem changed? I wonder what is causing
|
||
75 this latest surge of problems? Anyone else out there haveing
|
||
76 problems? (Getting thrown off or receiving garbage) (The normal
|
||
77 garbage you find here on BWMS doesn't count!).
|
||
78 Tron: if happens again, turn on the speaker of your smart modem
|
||
79 to see how the signal sounds. You can do this by typing ATM2 before
|
||
80 you dial, or typing +++ then ATM2O if you are already on line.

109 I was recently in a discussion which escalated into a bet. I say that the

112 source to quote that will bare out this fact or dispute it please make a

123 go to support the veggies after they blow their respective brains
|
||
124 out with the weapon that they themselves have chosen (let those

125 who ride decide).....i propose instead:
|

126 "let those who pay decide"
|

127 or even..
|
||
128 "let their widows decide"
|
||
129 or perchance
|

130 "let ER staffers decide"
|

131 or maybe
|

132 "let the dead bury the dead"......after all,motorcycles (sans

143 Pioneer:
|
||
144 Regarding four dimensional geometry, I would be willing to discuss
|
||
145 it with you if you will help me work out some theories on a new number
|
||
146 system. It is based on divisions by zero. Weird things happen!
|
||
147
|
||
148
|
||
149 Charlotte:
|
||
150 About the term "ergonomics", it deals with the improvement of the
|
||
151 human/machine interface so that the user can more easily, quickly, and
|
||
152 more efficiently enter in commands, data, etc. It works both ways though,
|
||
153 it also deals with the efficiency of the output of the machine to the
|
||
154 user. The case of Nan Davis however, does not quite fall into this
|
||
155 catagory. For those out there who don't know of the case, Nan was
|
||
156 a senior at Wright State University last year. A couple of years ago
|
||
157 she was in an accident that left her a paraplegic. She got involved in
|
||
158 a research project at WSU where an Apple computer was used to send
|
||
159 impulses to her legs so that her muscles would contract and relax in
|
||
160 a certain sequence that was programmed into the Apple. They finally
|
||
161 reached a point where her muscles had regained enough strength for her
|
||
162 to walk short distances. In fact, she walked up to receive her diploma.
|
||
163 The problem with the system currently is that the computer, not she,
|
||
164 controls where and how her legs move. So there there is no feedback like
|
||
165 balance, fatigue, etc. In fact, if she were to fall down, her legs would
|
||
166 keep going until she would be able to shut them down. Obviously, much
|
||
167 more research is needed for this type of device. But now, back to
|
||
168 ergonomics. As I said before, ergonomics deals with the human/machine
|
||
169 interface. Much research is also needed in this field also for both
|
||
170 the handicapped (who have been all but forgotten in most research to date)
|
||
171 and the rest of us. Did I type ALL that? Talk to you later...

217 Phantom:

218 I'd love to give you the documentation you asked for, unfortunately

219 the source I obtained it from is not available to the general public.
|
||
220 I'll try to research the matter further and see if I can't find
|
||
221 something for you. As a sidelight you might take a look at the
|
||
222 news the next time ABATE is having a press conference and notice
|
||
223 how many people present are members of local outlaw motorcycle
|
||
224 gangs...It could be enlightening.

233 To person asking for BWMS to be rewritten:
|

234 Sorry, what you see is what you get. The code resides in ROM,
|
||
235 And I have no way of doing anything about it. I suggest you
|
||
236 spend your efforts in trying to get those who type all the
|
||
237 way out to the 128th column to back off a bit.

419 Mikey: I'd already figured out that it was at my end when I left

420 the last msg. I'm wondering if anyone can figure out why that one
|
||
421 bit pattern would cause the trouble. (I suspect the term prog
|
||
422 because LF doesn't cause the prob & is also the only one
|
||
423 of the chars involved that requires "special" processing by the
|
||
424 prog).

426 Anyone thinking of interfacing the $32 "robot arm" from

430 Hey Mikey, I forgot to hangup & re-initialized the prog to auto
|
||
431 logon to another system. When I tried to get dumped (so I wouldn't
|
||
432 have to mess with my multi-line jury-rig), I couldn't! I'm going
|
||
433 to make one more test. & if that checks out I'll raise hell with
|
||
434 a certain program author!

468 When I was in High Schoooooool just a few years agooooooooo, good old Miss
|
||
469 Hardy told us all about the fourth dimension (and the fifth dimension, etc.)
|
||
470 There is no mathematical reason to discount the existence of the fourth
|
||
471 dimension. The hard part is trying to visualize more than threeeeeeeee of
|
||
472 the darn things. It has something to do with the concept of N-dimensional
|
||
473 mutually orthogonal vector space.
|
||
474 The same hassles reappeared about 4 years after that when Dr. Alexander
|
||
475 at OSU kept telling us about things like magnetocrystalline anisotropy, when
|
||
476 he had previously told us everything was assumed to be linear, homogeneous,
|
||
477 and isotropic in n-dimensional mutually orthogonal vector space.
|
||
478 If someone mentions tensors... flunk him!!

481 I just saw a show on PBS. The lead-in had a warning: "The following program contains material that may be objectionable to
|
||
482 some viewers." While I appreciate their honesty, I wish other shows would be similarly forthright. Example, "The following
|
||
483 program contains material that..."
|
||
484 1. "...may be very boring to most viewers..."
|
||
485 2. "...may be in extremely poor taste to all viewers..."
|
||
486 3. "...may be unbelievable to anyone over the age of 13..."
|
||
487 4. "...is definitely useless to 99.44% percent of the populace..."
|
||
488
|
||
489 Maybe someday we'll at least get a warning.

509 HELLO! My name is Rodney King. I am travelling around the country and sharing
|
||
510
|
||
511 information and ideas through bulletin boards. This is a great deal of fun and
|
||
512
|
||
513 a continuing opportunity to meet interesting people. At the moment I am looking
|
||
514 for people who want to share ideas, information, wisdom or personal experience
|
||
515
|
||
516 with others in this manner. If you have something you think I ought to enter
|
||
517
|
||
518 into bulletin boards around the country, drop me a message on this system,
|
||
519
|
||
520 the Bit Bucket (761-xxxx), or CBBC/NW (284-xxxx) and I will see what I can do.

528 P.S. THE FOURTH DIMENSION MAY ACCOUNT FOR EXPERIENCES OF CLAIRVOYANCE,
|
||
529
|
||
530 TELEPATHY, AND TELEKINESIS. THE MIND MAY BE A LINK TO THE FOURTH DIMENSION
|
||
531
|
||
532 THROUGH A MEANS NOT YET UNDERSTOOD BY SCIENCE. SCIENCE, AFTERALL , IS LIMITED
|
||
533
|
||
534 BY ITS MANDATE FOR EMPIRICAL OBJECTIVITY, WHICH IS NOT POSSIBLE WHEN DEALING
|
||
535
|
||
536 WITH THE MIND AS A PROJECTOR OF REALITY. SUBJECT-OBJECT SEPARATION IS A MYTH.

540 1> I am appalled at the lack of logic and imagination evident in

543 4> me that sooner or later we are going to learn how to live
|

545 6> needs to be asked is: WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE SO THAT WE CAN
|

546 7> LEARN HOW TO LIVE TOGETHER PEACEFULLY?
|
||
547 8> It is not simply a matter of asking the question once or
|
||
548 9> twice a year. We need to ask the question of every intelligent
|

549 10> and aware human being thousands of times a year. When someone
|
||
550 11> comes up with a potential answer to the question, and we will
|
||
551 12> look at some I have come up with, they need to be publicized
|
||
552 13> widely and scrutinized for their plausibility. This is not
|

553 14> a boring or difficult process. In fact, if it is done in the

559 2> WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE SO THAT

560 3> WE CAN LEARN HOW TO LIVE TOGETHER PEACEFULLY?
|
||
561 4> 1. Establish a means of competing fairly in a non-militar-
|
||
562 5> istic arena, perhaps space manufacturing or ocean mining.
|
||
563 6> 2. Use the high technology communication satellites to
|
||
564 7> "PROPAGANDIZE" or "PROGRAM" populations into accepting peace
|
||
565 8> and rejecting war and violence. Teach us it doesn't pay to
|
||
566 9> wage war or to take human life. Use History as the base.
|
||
567 10> 3. Encourage international cultural exchange through
|
||
568 11> student cooperative programs, scientific and political forums.
|
||
569 12> 4. Spend alot more money on the Foreign Service
|
||
570 13> and the education and training of diplomats.
|
||
571 14> 5. Give terrorists and potential terrorists access to the
|
||
572 15> media only if they abandon their violent intentions.

573 16> Encourage the discussion of radical and uncoventional views.

608 SO WHAT ARE YOUR IDEAS, WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY AND WHAT CONCLUSIONS HAVE YOU DRAWN?

610
|

611
|
||
612 CONCLUSIONS I HAVE DRAWN:
|
||
613
|
||
614 1. ANY INDIVIDUAL CAN BECOME AS POWERFUL AS HE/SHE WANTS TO BECOME.
|
||
615
|
||
616 2. OUR MINDS ARE PROJECTORS OF REALITY...WHAT WE THINK IS WHAT COMES INTO
|
||
617 BEING WITHIN THE LIMITS OF PHYSICS, ETC.
|
||
618
|
||
619 3. ATTITUDES AND SPIRITUALITY ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING.
|
||
620 IF YOU WANT TO GROW SPIRITUALLY YOU MUST CULTIVATE AND DEVELOPE THE
|
||
621 RIGHT ATTITUDES: I.E. LOVE YOU NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.
|
||
622
|
||
623 4. PEOPLE ARE BIOCOMPUTERS: WE OPERATE ON THE PROGRAMMING WE RECEIVE.
|
||
624 THE PROGRAMMING IS CALLED BY MANY NAMES ... TRAINING, EDUCATION, MEDIA, ETC.
|
||
625
|
||
626 5. THE BIGGEST MOMENT IN HUMAN HISTORY IS RIGHT NOW. WE ARE BEING BORN INTO
|
||
627 THE SOLAR SYSTEM WITH SPACE TRAVEL, SPACE MANUFACTURING, TELECOMMUNICATIONS, EXPLORATORY SATELLITES, ETC.
