|
|
51 When behind the wheel of a machine whose sole purpose is to move from point A
|
|
52 to point B and do it *fast*, most men existed in a state of true euphoria.
|
|
53 Farley is no exception- except that, at the moment, he is *not* driving
|
|
54 anything even remotely resembling such a machine.
|
|
55 Yes, it was nondescript- a white Datsun, not new or even newly washed. It
|
|
56 would go unnoticed in nearly any neighborhood or street. Which was, of course,
|
|
57 the whole idea.
|
|
58 A quick right turn brought the car into the entrance of a car wash. The
|
|
59 attendant glanced at the vehicle and driver for a moment and threw a lever
|
|
60 beside the teller-like window at which he sat, looking credibly bored as he
|
|
61 did so. The Datsun surged forward into the cavernlike tunnel which denied the
|
|
62 early morning light from entering.
|
|
63 About halfway through, Farley opened the door and moved quickly by what
|
|
64 appeared to be his twin brother; the twin just as quickly got in the car. If
|
|
65 anyone had been pursuing Eugene, they would now follow his twin into a nearby
|
|
66 coffee shop and watch him for a few hours.
|
|
67 An elevator awaited Farley, and after voiceprint identification, carried him
|
|
68 down into the bowels of the largest training center the NET operated in the
|
|
69 Northwest region. Parity was trying to hone further his already fine weapon
|
|
70 skills, if the COMLINK data base was up to date; it nearly always was, unless
|
|
71 you needed it for something vital. Murphy pokes his nose into strange places.
|
|
72 The doors opened, and a pair of security personnel eyed him carefully. When
|
|
73 Eugene requested it, they showed him the current use register; yes, Parity was
|
|
74 in range seven. Farley began winding his way through the maze of corridors
|
|
75 toward the deadened-but-still-audible sounds of firearms. His only worry: how
|
|
76 to convince Parity to help?
|
|
77 And then no more time to worry. Through two sets of soundproofed doors, and
|
|
78 Farley was in the firing range.

90 Well, that one seems to have gone better. Cistop - I used DELAY = 10 & EOL = {0D}{8A}. Do you have a suggested

91 set of parameters? Also, with marginat 126 and line lengths of 120, sometimes I got a Beep at the end and

92 the borders Look like they dropped the second-to-the-last "0". I *suppose*I could shorten my line lengths... Oh well,

97 TECHNICAL HUBRIS AGAIN
|
|
98
|
|
99 The world is being bombarded by technological failures: Bhopal, Challenger,
|
|
100 Chernobyl, a spate of airliner accidents. Technological hubris, or a wanton arrogance and faith in machines, has
|
|
101 been blamed, particularly in the case of the Russians and their nuclear energy program.
|
|
102 Engineers and scientists who deal with technology may have the most realistic opinion of the dangers and limitations
|
|
103 of machines.
|
|
104 "If something can go wrong, it probably will," is the cynical Murphy's Law often voiced by those working with perverse
|
|
105 gadgetry.
|
|
106 At the screwdriver and oscilloscope level, technology's limitations and risks are understood, a fact amply demonstrated
|
|
107 by the Challenger investigation.
|
|
108 Untoward risks, the kind that place too much faith in a couple of plastic O-rings, are usually taken at a higher man-
|
|
109 agement or political level.
|
|
110 If dangerous technological hubris is to be dampened, it it vital that those who manage, or make budgetary decisions,
|
|
111 have a deeper understanding of technology THAN JUST ITS VOCABULARY , lest the world perish--by accident.
|
|

|
123 The smell of varnish filled the corridor, exuding from the higly polished
|
|
124 wooden walls as the still air carried the sounds of hurried footsteps on the
|
|
125 parquet floor. Echoing, they ricocheted down the corridor's dimly lighted
|
|
126 length, bouncing, floor to wall to ceiling then back to wall and floor again,
|
|
127 finally reaching the ears of the expensively suited figure hurrying as though
|
|
128 pursued by some inner demon. The face of this figure, marked by strain and
|
|
129 --could it be fear?-- would be familiar to devotees of religious television.
|
|
130 In millions of homes, coast-to-coast, the faithful tuned him in, listening to
|
|
131 his mellifulous voice that played on their emotions like a musician on a
|
|
132 musical instrument, watching his ecstatic face, carried by his obvious fevrent
|
|
133 belief into extasies of faith.
|
|
134 The strain under which he was laboring was evident in the set of his
|
|
135 wide shoulders under the expensive jacket that topped his tailor-cut business
|
|
136 suit. A fine sheen of perspiration covered his carefully-groomed skin, beading
|
|
137 around the thin gold wafer, the fine watch strapped to one wrist, revealed as
|
|
138 he reached for the brass doorknob set into the door before which he had stopped.
|
|
139 For a long moment, he hesitated, then squared his shoulders and entered
|
|
140 the room.
|
|
141 The long table held notepads and paper, carefully arrainged on its polished
|
|
142 surface, precisely aligned before the twelve figures seated around it. The
|
|
143 single vacant chair sat before an emptly expanse of table. Eleven faces turned
|
|
144 toward him, silently eying his entrance. The faces that studied him would be
|
|
145 familiar to a student of modern American fundamentalist Christianity. Here
|
|
146 were the vocal, the outspoken, the leaders of thought. Here in one room were
|
|
147 the charismatic who filled the airwaves with praise of their god and dammnation
|
|
148 of the vile who dared to disbelieve. Here were the leaders who led the political
|
|
149 fights that had recently embroiled them, the activists who arrainged
|
|
150 demonstrations against those with whom they disagreed, those who whipped
|
|
151 the faithful into self-righteous wrath against schools, doctors, hospitals,
|
|
152 and others who followed different paths. Here, also, were anonymous figures
|
|
153 that the same student would not recognize. Here were faces not known, whose
|
|
154 existence was only a whisper. Here were those who eschewed the safety of words
|
|
155 and drank the sweet wine of action.
|
|
156 The face of the twelfth figure was hidden by the incongrous brown hood
|
|
157 of the robe that covered him. Only the hands, skeletal, ringed with colored
|
|
158 stones were exposed. He could tell that the figure was looking at him with the
|
|
159 rest, tell by the motion of the hood covering his head, the hood that shadowed
|
|
160 his features till none could make them out.
|
|
161 "Come in brother Bob." The voice was cold and precise. "Come in and
|
|
162 sit down. We have much to do today."

198 0202: the EOL is fine though you probably don't need the delay if you
|
|
199 have problems with lost characters set wait on. When doing the send,
|
|
200 what you see on the screen is not exactly what is being sent. The ends
|
|
201 of the lines will have extra characters tacked on by the echoed characters
|
|
202 picked up during the EOL wait. Wait on will eliminate this, but it will slow
|
|
203 down transmission. You could turn the receiver off during the EOL which
|
|
204 would also eliminate it. Either way, it won't affect what actually ends
|
|
205 up here, it is only a confusion factor in what you see on your own screen.

222 I see we are back too theology as usual. What happened? Did the board get bored? Well here is my two cents worth.
|
|
223 If power corrups, and absolute power corrups absolutely, does this mean that
|
|
224 God(who supposedly has absolute power) is corrupt? This poses an interesting
|
|
225 question. If God is corrupt, would that mean that he and the devil are one?

226 That would be the ultimate paradox.

280 0202: Actually, the fastest would be no delay and no wait. If your modem is
|
|
281 good enough that you don't get any errors, that is the fastest way. The delay
|
|
282 can help, but the most acurate form is with wait on and no delay. If it is
|
|
283 going to get through that will do it. The problem is that it slows transmission
|
|
284 speed in half because it has to wait for the character to be echoed before it
|
|
285 can send the next one. But on bad lines that is what you want to do anyway.
|
|
286 BW itself can accept the data at full speed on the line. It only needs a
|
|
287 delay at the end of the line as it is busy writting the line to disk after
|
|
288 you send the CR.

361 Dear Keeper (666):

362
|

363 I find your poety more tasteless than satirical. I will tolerate other musical
|
|
364 styles as long as they are not forced on me; you can go ahead and listen to your
|
|
365 noise--but your "poetry" could be likened to me spouting about how great the
|
|
366 Beatles are, which I won't do as some people don't like them. As a retaliation--
|
|
367 (please, innocent bystanders, don't take this seriously...)

463 Well, there is now 666, Starpath, and some jerks that fancy themselves poets.
|
|
464 Once upon a time there was Darrin Spokley,Teddy Salad, Frank, and that guy
|
|
465 who was the subject of one of Backwaters greatest hits, uh, I mean twit hunts
|
|
466 led by the infamous NET operatives (?). Funny how things change without changing
|
|
467 Rumor has it that Mr. (?) Spokley has had as many shock treatments as Backwater
|
|
468 has lines, and Teddy Salad is now employed by the Portland zoo. Full time.
|
|
469 Very full time. Like always... No pay, free rent, free meals...
|
|
470 And then there was Promethious Hawthorne...And all the lovable people from
|
|
471 Spook Central...
|
|
472 REM Barefoot John
|
|
473 REM Freebooters
|

|
|
475 Ah, the long and excerptfallious history hof Backwater.
|
|
476 Like Mr. Teller and Mr. Binet: Was haben creadish ich?
|
|
477 Ah, the codes;the silly NET codes, and the l o o n g stories from Silverman'
|
|
478 the BEAR, and all the old regulars.
|
|
479 (Piper, where R U)
|
|
480 Ah the mystical magical conglomeration of idiocy,creativity,nonsense,outstanding
|
|
481 humor,incomprehensible ramblings,sparkling truths;verified in the sparkling
|
|
482 light of criticism. The waylaid and the wondrous. The humane and the obscene.
|
|
483 The stretches of imagination, the corruption of sensibilities, the nonsence of
|
|
484 reality. The memories of the assnine, the rememberance of the profound...
|
|
485 Ah, Backwater, what a wondrous thing you are. The unique, the incomprehensible
|
|
486 the enigmatic outlet of all manner of men.
|
|
487 You forever stand alone amidst a vascilating sea of indifference, standing
|
|
488 proud amongst modemers need for rules and control characters.
|
|
489 The true spirit of creativity which has survived the bizarre ramblings of
|
|
490 twitdom throughout the ages...

503 you voice before. Beware, you are known and the keeper of YOUR soul will

504 make you pay for your twittiness!!!!

505 Your poetry sucks and your views on religion are full of shit! Anyway, I w
|
|
506 will reveal your identity to all the users on this BBS tomorrow (Friday) and
|
|
507 then maybe you'll see what other users think of twits.
|
|
508 By the way, I figured it out because of the way you always put a " " before

530 MOSCOW 11 APRIL 08:15 AM
|
|
531 The first rays of the dawning sun broke over the rotund spires of Kremlin building tops, and splashed across the wet
|
|
532 cobbled streets below.
|
|
533 Birds chirped here and there, silenced momentarily by the stacatto click of hard boots-men in colorless uniforms-
|
|
534 marching-reacting-obeying- they stalked across Red Square. Stopping, then marching again.
|
|
535 The uniformed, armed squads of the terrifying KGB. A shrilly barked order, and the squad halted-in front of the heavy
|
|
536 Oaken door. A nondescript building just off Red Square, where the skyline flattened, where were the tenemants of the
|
|
537 "people"; the spirit of Mother Russia, the 'workers'. A simple place of hiding in a land where there was noplace to
|
|
538 hide. The place of a man of letters, a man who knew too much to kill;too much not to kill...
|
|
539 True to form. No words. No knock upon the heavy door. No warning. A battering ram is brought forward-the Oak becomes
|
|
540 firewood-and a startled sleepy old man-his white hair tousled from sleep-is thrown into the back seat of a Mercedes
|
|
541 limousine...in the company of a substantial member,on either side, of the dreaded KGB.
|
|
542 Capitalistic, the old man thought, this automobile, as the sedan leapt forward through the night...
|
|
543 He shivered in fear-a fear that almost consumed his mind.
|
|
544 The questions came suddenly;stacatto like, piercing, demanding...unexpected. He had thought they would wait untill
|
|
545 he was transferred to Lubyanska. To Siberia. From where he would never return.
|
|
546 "Tell us, professor Andropovitch:tell us about Delta Five."
|
|
547 Fear welled up in the old man's gut-not the fear of what they would do to him, or the fear of death, but the fear
|
|
548 that he had failed. Had failed to do what his heart had told him to do; what his conscience demanded that he do. What
|
|
549 he knew in his heart he had to do.
|
|
550 His hands were pinned by the strong arms of the men on either side of him, but his tongue was not bound;not silenced.
|
|
551 The small hard pellet within a thin capped cuspid came loose as the respected and tenured man of academia spoke his
|
|
552 last words. "Yes, gentlemen-he veritably spat the word- I will tell you of Delta Five; but you will, you can not under-
|
|
553 stand. He stands for a way of life that you have been forbidden to understand. A way of life that I have taught my
|
|
554 students in spite of the directives, the threats from the Politburo. I fear not what all free men have learned to
|
|
555 not be afraid of, 'Commissars';that detestible word veritably spat. "No, gentlemen, you shall learn naught from me
|
|
556 of Delta Five-and with that I leave you to the political prison you profess to love, just as you serve.
|
|
557 The two men stared at the old man-just as they realized what he was saying. There was the muffled crunch of the
|
|
558 pellet, and-just as they watched-the old mans features softened;the fear in his eyes disappeared, and as the potassium
|
|
559 cyanide paralyzed his nervous system, and took away his life, a slight smile assumed his face. A sigh, and his dying
|
|
560 lips whispered "Sierra Echo Tango Delta Five Overlook commenc---
|
|
561 And the old man was dead.
|
|
562 The squad of uniformed soldiers quickly found the radio.
|
|
563
|
|
564 Following the this cable that led to the roof, they discovered one of the KGB's misgivings-a simple round sled-a toy
|
|
565 that good Russian children had copied from the western capitalists- could be used as a high gain antenna...
|
|
566 The radio was smashed;but not soon enough...
|
|
567 Juneau, Alaska. 11 April 09:15 AM
|
|
568 "Hey-hey, come in here-hey, you guys-listen to this...
|
|
569 Delta Five was explaining. "They got the professor! They found him out."
|
|
570 An unnoticed-or ignored- tear found it's way down his cheek. His voice choked, he continued;"They got the professor
|
|
571 but the old guy managed to get his last...Delta faltered, his voice choked..."he managed to send the code...
|
|
572 He hesitated, then burst forth into tears, sobbing, he sat down in front of the console, crying without shame.
|
|
573 The others-Parity, Fellows, Lou, Georgs,Leo, filed silently out into the hangar, sullen, thankful...
|
|
574 "You didn't know, did you?" Parity looked at the other men. "You couldn't have known. The professor---was Delta's
|
|
575 father...
|
|
576 to be continued... [*=*] DELTA FIVE [*=*]

|
|
578 The meeting would have been familiar to anyone who had worked for a large
|
|
579 business. Chaired and controlled bye the figure in the brown robe, the members
|
|
580 quickly gave their reports, recieved praise, withered under tonless criticism
|
|
581 when they had not achieved their goals. The tension in the room peaked when
|
|
582 the reports were finished.
|
|
583 "Thank you, brother Jerome," the brown robed figure sat for a long moment.
|
|
584 "Now we must come to a rather ... painful portion of this meeting."
|
|
585 The tension in the room nearly took on its own life.
|
|
586 "Several reports have reached me of breaches of our discipline." The
|
|
587 dry words of the brown robed one caused sweat to pour from brother Bob's skin.
|
|
588 "Brother Frank!" The Rev. Bob sank back in relief, while another figure
|
|
589 stiffened. "You have not been able to curb your proclivity for young boys."
|
|
590 The brown robed figure produced a sheet of paper from which the accusation was
|
|
591 read. "... was nearly discovered when the scouts escaped." Silence filled
|
|
592 the room while the brown robed figure meditated; brother Frank's face was
|
|
593 still and white. Finally the sentence.
|
|
594 "Brother Frank. You were nearly caught. Your effectiveness in Boston is
|
|
595 over. Luckily, you were not well-known. You are now transferred to the west
|
|
596 coast -- a town called Portland. You are in charge of the graffiti campaign
|
|
597 there. In addition, you are fined $5,000 dollars." The brown robed one
|
|
598 slipped a sheet of paper to the bottom of the sheaf and called out.
|
|
599 "Brother Bob!"
