["Subject: [ILUG] serial port transient failure \nHere's a weird and wacky problem:\n\nI'm currently out of the country with my trusty Evo N600c laptop. When I \ntried to use the serial port to talk to my mobile phone, Linux behaved \npretty much as if the port was fried. Bizarre, I thought, because I'd \nused it successfully while in the office. The only difference was that I \nwas trying the thing in the hotel. I entertained brief notions of having \nsomehow fried the serial drivers, then rebooted the laptop to Windows \nand tried again. Worked perfectly. Back to Linux. Still not talking. \nConsidered that it might be flaky power, so I ran the laptop on battery. \nNope. Tried moving the laptop to a differnet part of the room where \nthere might be less bogon flux. Still not working. Eventually I gave up \nand used the IrDA port instead - which is usually the serial connection \nof doom, grief, and teeth-grinding.\n\nThis morning, in the office, the damn thing is working without a hitch.\n\nAnyone like to suggest what mystery technology is in use in the hotel \nthat prevents serial ports from working under Linux?\n\nCheers,\nWaider.\n-- \[email protected] / Yes, it /is/ very personal of me\n\n-- \nIrish Linux Users' Group: [email protected]\nhttp://www.linux.ie/mailman/listinfo/ilug for (un)subscription information.\nList maintainer: [email protected]\n\n\n"]

With the Waldseemuller map, the New World was born.\nBut there was something else. What would later come to be called South\nAmerica and Central America were surprisingly well-shaped, not only on the\neast coast, where explorers had already sailed, but also on the west coast\n-- which no European was known to have seen.\nThe ice cream cone bulge that sticks out into the Pacific at the junction of\nmodern-day Chile and Peru is readily visible and in almost exactly the right\ngeographical spot -- not only in the main map, but also in an inset printed\nalong its top.\nThe shape of South America in the main map appears distorted because of the\ncurvature of the Earth.\nIt is an improbable coincidence, if it was a coincidence, for the map -- 12\nlarge printed pages to be arrayed in one 36-square-foot wall display -- was\npublished six years before Vasco Balboa\'s 1513 trip across the Isthmus of\nPanama and 12 years before Ferdinand Magellan\'s 1519-22 trip around the\nworld.\nDid someone get there earlier?\n...\n\n------------------------ Yahoo!

['Subject: [zzzzteana] Fake bank website cons victims \n>>From the BBC website - www.bbc.co.uk\n\n Tuesday, 8 October, 2002, 09:43 GMT 10:43 UK \n\n Fake bank website cons victims\n \n West African criminals have used a fake version of a British bank\'s online\n service to milk victims of cash, say police. The fake site was used to squeeze\n more money out of people they had already hooked. \n \n The site has been shut down. But UK National Criminal Intelligence Service,\n (NCIS), said at least two Canadians had lost more than $100,000 after being\n taken in by the fake website. \n \n The scam behind the fake web domain was the familiar one that offers people a\n share of the huge sums of money they need moved out of various African\n nations. \n \n NCIS said the use of the web was helping the conmen hook victims that would\n otherwise spot the scam. \n \n Convincing site \n \n News of this latest scam was revealed by BBC Radio5Live. It found that an\n unclaimed web domain of a UK bank had been used by conmen to get more cash out\n their victims. \n\n A NCIS spokesman said the domain looked legitimate because it had "the" in\n front of the bank\'s name. \n \n "I have seen the microsite myself and it\'s very sophisticated," said the NCIS\n spokesman. "It\'s very convincing especially to people not very experienced\n online." \n \n Once the con was discovered it was quickly shut down. However, the people\n behind it have not been caught. \n \n NCIS does know that at least two people have lost more than $100,000. \n \n The bank involved has bought up the domain used in the con as well as many\n other permutations of its name to limit the chance it could happen again. \n\n Domain games \n \n Usually people are first hooked in to what has become known as Advanced Fee or\n 419 fraud by replying to an unsolicited fax or e-mail offering a share of any\n cash successfully moved out of Africa. \n \n The \'419\' refers to the part of the Nigerian penal code dealing with such\n crimes. \n \n Like any con, there is no money to be moved at all and instead anyone taking\n the bait is asked to pay increasingly large sums to supposedly bribe\n uncooperative officials and to smooth the passage of the cash. \n \n Although this con has been practiced for years, people still fall victim to\n it. \n \n NCIS estimates that up to five Americans are sitting in hotel lobbies in\n London everyday waiting to meet people connected with this con. \n \n Cutting edge fraud \n \n Often the conmen provide fake banking certificates to give the con an air of\n legitimacy. \n \n \n People tricked into clicking on fake sites\n \n But a spokesman for NCIS said fake or spoof websites are now being used in\n place of the certificates. \n \n "To many people nowadays the cutting edge of banking technology is web\n technology," said the spokesman. \n \n One of the first groups of conmen to use this method set up a fake website\n that supposedly gave victims access to accounts held at the South African\n Reserve Bank, the country\'s national bank. \n \n Typically, victims are given a login name and password and are encouraged to\n visit the site so they can see that the cash they are getting a share of has\n been deposited in their name. \n \n But before they can get their hands on the cash, the victims are typically\n asked to hand over more of their own money to help the transfer go ahead. \n \n Once the South African police discovered the ruse they declared it a national\n priority crime and soon arrested the 18 people behind it. \n \n Modern gloss \n \n An briefing paper prepared by NCIS in August on organised crime noted that\n criminals were increasingly turning to the web to lure new victims and give\n old cons a modern gloss. \n \n The NCIS spokesman urged people who have fallen victim to 419 fraud to come\n forward and help it track down the perpetrators. He said in the last two\n months it had arrested 24 people overseas involved with this type of fraud. \n \n He said any e-mail, fax or letter making an offer that looks to good too be\n true, undoubtedly is. \n \n One of the first companies to fall victim to website spoofing was net payment\n service Paypal. \n \n Conmen set up a fake site and asked people to visit and re-enter their account\n and credit card details because Paypal had lost the information. \n \n The website link included in the e-mail looked legitimate but in fact directed\n people to a fake domain that gathered details for the conmen\'s personal use. \n\n\n------------------------ Yahoo!

['Subject: [zzzzteana] Bashing the bishop \nhttp://www.guardian.co.uk/religion/Story/0,2763,806744,00.html\n\nEvangelicals\' threat to new archbishop\n\nDirect action threat over liberal views on sexuality\n\nStephen Bates, religious affairs correspondent\nTuesday October 8, 2002\nThe Guardian\n\nEvangelical fundamentalists last night stepped up their campaign to oust\nRowan Williams, the incoming Archbishop of Canterbury, before he even takes\nup his post, by threatening to take "direct action" against him.\nThe council of the Church Society, the Church of England\'s oldest\nevangelical body, joined a younger evangelical pressure group called Reform,\nwhich is also opposed to Dr Williams, in calling on him to recant his\nsupposedly liberal views on sexuality or stand down.\nFollowing an emergency meeting, the 167-year-old society, whose leaders met\nthe archbishop last week, proclaimed their continued opposition to his\nappointment and called on all Anglicans to spurn him.\nThe move is the latest stage of an increasingly aggressive attempt to\ndestabilise the new archbishop, whose leftwing political views are regarded\nwith deep suspicion by the conservative fringes of the evangelical movement.\nSome evangelicals object to Dr Williams\'s acknowledgement that he has\nordained a gay priest, something many bishops have done, and that those who\nhave sex outside marriage need not necessarily be spurned. The new\narchbishop has repeatedly assured them that he respects the canons of the\nchurch.\nNevertheless, the society said: "It is clear that he prefers his private\njudgment to the voice of scripture, to the voice of tradition and to the\ncommon mind of the church. As such he can only be a focus of disunity.\n"The council... called upon loyal Anglicans to pray specifically that Rowan\nWilliams would see the error in his teaching, change his views or stand\ndown," it said.\nThe society claimed to have drawn up an "action plan," including calling on\nbishops and primates of the 70 million worldwide Anglican communion, of\nwhich archbishops of Canterbury are the leaders, to distance themselves from\nDr Williams\'s doctrinal and ethical position. It promised it would be\n"taking steps towards appropriate direct action".\nIt added that Dr Williams remained on the editorial board of a journal\ncalled Theology and Sexuality which, six months ago, published articles\nallegedly commending homosexual behaviour.\nDespite its claim, the society does not represent the common mind of the\nchurch. Dr Williams, currently Archbishop of Wales, was chosen by the crown\nappointments commission of church members, including evangelicals, and his\nappointment was endorsed by the prime minister and the Queen.\nHe is due to succeed George Carey, who retires this month, and will be\nformally enthroned at Canterbury cathedral in February.\nAsked what form direct action might take, the Rev George Curry, the\nsociety\'s chairman, said: "Watch this space." Presumably it could involve a\nsmall minority of parishes repudiating the new archbishop and seeking\nalternative oversight or even demonstrations at services where Dr Williams\nis present.\nChurch of England bishops, who have hitherto largely kept their heads down\nduring the row, are meeting next week to discuss their response to the\nevangelical extremists\' challenge, which appears to have grown in the\nabsence of a robust rebuttal.\nA letter by senior theologians in today\'s Guardian, however, repudiates the\nevangelicals\' tactics, calling them unseemly and contrary to biblical\nteaching.\nOn the BBC\'s Thought for the Day yesterday, Angela Tilby, vice-principal of\nWestcott House, Cambridge, accused Dr Williams\'s opponents of presumption\nand blackmail. "It is in fact a thoroughly aggressive way to behave. It is\nattempting to force an issue by emotional violence... manipulating to get\nyour way is often preferable to painstaking negotiation," she said.\nLast week, Dr Williams said he was deeply saddened. "Matters of sexuality\nshould not have the priority or centrality that Reform and the Church\nSociety have tried to give them. The archbishop cannot withdraw his\nappointment since so many, including evangelicals, have urged him to take\nthe post... the archbishop believes it to be his duty under God."\n\n\n------------------------ Yahoo!

But the two new species,\notiorhynchus armadillo and otiorhynchus salicicola, not previously known\nnorth of Switzerland, are now prevalent in south London. "It\'s very likely\nthese weevils have been introduced to Britain through imported ornamental\nplants from Italy," said Dr Barclay. "It looks like they\'re here to stay."\nHe found otiorhynchus armadillo on the window of a Chelsea department store\nin 1998, but as the shop sold imported house plants, he assumed it was a\nmigrant. It has now quietly become the most common species of vine weevil in\nsouth-west London. The second invader is not so numerous, but has\nestablished itself firmly in the same area.\nApart from laurels, vine weevils attack bay, viburnum, ornamental ivy, and\ngrape vines. An early sign of trouble is that notches appear in leaves. The\nsoil-dwelling larvae bite the roots off below the surface.\nOne possible explanation for the invaders\' successful colonisation of\nBritain is global warming. Earlier springs and milder winters are already a\nfact.\n\n\n------------------------ Yahoo!

["Subject: [zzzzteana] Nobel astrophysicists \nNobel Honors 3 for Astrophysics Work \n\nTuesday October 8, 2002 12:00 PM\nSTOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) - Two Americans and a Japanese won the Nobel Prize in\nphysics Tuesday for using some of the most obscure particles and waves in\nnature to understand the workings of astronomy's grandest wonders.\nRiccardo Giacconi, 71, of the Associated Universities Inc. in Washington,\nD.C., will get half of the $1 million prize for his role in ``pioneering\ncontributions to astrophysics, which have led to the discovery of cosmic\nX-ray sources.''\nRaymond Davis, Jr., 87, of the University of Pennsylvania shares the other\nhalf of the prize with Japanese scientist Masatoshi Koshiba, 76, of the\nUniversity of Tokyo. The two men pioneered the construction of giant\nunderground chambers to detect neutrinos, elusive particles that stream from\nthe sun by the billion.\nNeutrinos offer an unparalleled view of the sun's inner workings because\nthey are produced in its heart by the same process that causes it to shine.\nIn fact, Davis' early experiments, performed during the 1960s in a South\nDakota gold mine, confirmed that the sun is powered by nuclear fusion.\nKoshiba won his share of the prize for his work at the Kamiokande neutrino\ndetector in Japan. That experiment confirmed and extended Davis' work, and\nalso discovered neutrinos coming from distant supernova explosions, some of\nthe brightest objects in the universe.\nThe Italian-born Giacconi, a U.S. citizen, was awarded half of the prize for\nbuilding the first X-ray telescopes that provided ``completely new - and\nsharp - images of the universe,'' the academy said.\nHis research laid the foundation for X-ray astronomy, which has led to the\ndiscovery of black holes and allowed researchers to peer deep into the\nhearts of the dusty young galaxies where stars are born.\nWhen academy officials reached Giacconi by phone at his home outside\nWashington, he said he was ``dumbstruck'' to learn of the prize. Koshiba\nalso was phoned at home in Tokyo, but the academy was still trying to reach\nDavis, spokesman Erling Norrby said.\nThis year's Nobel awards started Monday with the naming of Britons Sydney\nBrenner, 75, and Sir John E. Sulston, 60, and American H. Robert Horvitz,\n55, as winners of the medicine prize, selected by a committee at the\nKarolinska Institute.\nThe researchers shared it for discoveries about how genes regulate organ\ngrowth and a process of programmed cell deaths that shed light on how\nviruses and bacteria invade human cells, including in conditions such as\nAIDS, strokes, cancer and heart attacks.\nThe winner of the Nobel Prize in chemistry will be named on Wednesday\nmorning and the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of\nAlfred Nobel later the same day.\nThe literature prize winner will be announced on Thursday, the Swedish\nAcademy said on Tuesday.\nThe winner of the coveted peace prize - the only one not awarded in Sweden -\nwill be announced Friday in Oslo, Norway.\nThe award committees make their decisions in deep secrecy and candidates are\nnot publicly revealed for 50 years.\nAlfred Nobel, the wealthy Swedish industrialist and inventor of dynamite who\nendowed the prizes left only vague guidelines for the selection committees.\nIn his will he said the prize being revealed on Tuesday should be given to\nthose who ``shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind'' and\n``shall have made the most important discovery or invention within the field\nof physics.''\nThe Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which also chooses the chemistry and\neconomics winners, invited nominations from previous recipients and experts\nin the fields before cutting down its choices. Deliberations are conducted\nin strict secrecy.\nThe prizes are presented on Dec. 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death in\n1896, in Stockholm and in Oslo.\n---\nOn the Net:\nNobel site, http://www.nobel.se \n\n------------------------ Yahoo!

But I still think that Sigishoara is the best location for it."\nThe park would include hotels, a Dracula roller coaster, catacombs, a ghost\ntrain and a house of horrors, as well as vampire dungeons located around a\nreconstruction of Dracula\'s castle and an artificial lake.\nThe project has also been objected to by the world heritage organisation\nUnesco fearing Sigishoara might be spoilt.\nPricewaterhouseCoopers is to present its final report on the project on\nOctober 15.\nStory filed: 13:16 Tuesday 8th October 2002\n\n------------------------ Yahoo!

It is very clear that the picture was taken in the Caprivi ...And\nthat the word is from Siyeyi. It is not Oshiwambo".\nOthers indicated that various words might have different meanings in various\nNamibian languages, such as omakende, an Oshiwambo word for glasses which in\nSiyeyi means testicles.\nAnother word with a double-meaning is tulikunde, which in Oshiwambo\ntranslates as let\'s talk, but which in Sisubiya translates as let\'s have\nintercourse.\nThe Herero word for a hat is ekoli, which is an Oshiwambo word for a vagina.\nStory filed: 12:37 Tuesday 8th October 2002\n\n------------------------ Yahoo!

The freight still isn\'t moving,\nfactories are running out of parts, produce is rotting, and\nretailers are more freaked about Christmas with every passing\nday. \n\nOn Monday, Bush stepped in and appointed a three-member panel to \nsee how badly this shutdown is hosing the economy. (We hope this \nisn\'t a difficult question, as the panel\'s been given all of one \nday to report back.) When Bush gets the report on Tuesday, the\nnext step might be a court order to reopen the ports under the\n1947 Taft-Hartley Act. That would send employees back to work\nfor 80 days while federal mediators duke it out over the\ndisputed contract and retailers lower their Xanax dosages.\n\nInvoking Taft-Hartley requires a threat to national health or\nsafety -- not the economy. But Labor Secretary Elaine Chao\ncovered that base in a statement on Monday, saying the work\nstoppage threatens the flow of supplies to the military (we knew \nIraq would be in here somewhere). "Union officials quickly\nresponded that their members have been unloading military cargo\nthroughout the 10-day shutdown," said the L.A. Times, but an\nanonymous Bush administration official "said that only a portion \nof what the Defense Department needs has made it ashore."\n\nPolitically, this has been a tricky one. Using Taft-Hartley\nwould annoy labor right before congressional elections. On the\nother hand, "Voter discontent with Bush\'s handling of the\nincreasingly fragile economic recovery has begun showing up in\npolls, and such concerns may have outweighed the political\ndanger to the Republican administration," said the San Francisco \nChronicle. Also, Bush stepped in on the same day that a poll\nreported two-thirds of Americans wanted him to focus more on the \neconomy. "Though the administration promised an unbiased\nexamination of the lockout, Bush appeared to have made up his\nmind that it was hurting national security and the economy,\nandmerited federal intervention," said the AP. \n\nAs for Taft-Hartley, it\'s not exactly famous for solving labor\ndisputes. Often the 80-day cooling-off period ends, and workers\nsimply walk out again (or get locked out again, in this case).\nOne gets the sense, however, that fixing the dockworkers\'\ncontract isn\'t the point of this particular 80 days. It\'s 78\ndays until Christmas.

The two dominant direct broadcast satellite\nplayers want to join forces, the better to compete with Big\nCable. Federal regulators, both the FCC and the Justice\nDepartment, are concerned that the resulting conglomerate of\nDirecTV with Dish Network would command roughly 95% of satellite \nservice in the US.\n\nThe press could not settle on a price tag for the proposed\nmerger between EchoStar Communications and Hughes Electronics -- \nit was described as being worth anywhere from $15 billion and\n$25 billion. It was a challenge to keep the players straight, as \nsome outlets talked of a merger between the corporate parents,\nand others referred to the service monikers. Hughes is DirecTV\nand EchoStar is Dish. All straight?\n\nThe two companies sent a letter to the FCC urging them to hold\noff ruling on (read, rejecting) the merger until the Justice\nDepartment has spoken. EchoStar and Hughes offered unspecified\n"major revisions" to the deal that they want to discuss with\nJustice in the next weeks.\n\nThe Wall Street Journal delved deeply into the form those\nrevisions could take -- specifically, selling some frequencies\nto Cablevision. The Journal reported that Cablevision has wanted \nto get into the satellite business for 10 years and outlined the \ncable company\'s plans and past spending on such a project.\n\nTheStreet.com turned in an extensive analysis of the deal for\ninvestors in the satellite space. It seems the market for\nexpanded-service television may be nearing saturation.\nTheStreet.com quoted an analyst\'s report which concluded,\n"Consumers should benefit from ... continued rivalry, but\nshareholders may realize much smaller returns."\n\nThe New York Times and the Journal both mentioned Rupert Murdoch \nwaiting in the wings. Last year Murdoch\'s News Corp. bid for\nDirecTV, but lost out at the last minute to EchoStar.

There are a lot of alternatives to hydrocarbon\nproducts derived from petroleum, but these have often been developed as\na replacement for petroleum after the technology has been established -\nthere is a growing industry in plant-derived plastics and lubricants,\nbut this is to replicate materials that have been previously created \nmuch more easily within the petrochemical industry.\n\nVegetable-derived lubricants have been used. The Russians used sunflower\noil in the lubrication systems of tanks and trucks during the second world \nwar, and work is being done in the UK to produce diesel fuel derived from\nwaste cooking oil from fast-food restaurants. \n\nJay's correct in his opinion that vegetable oil is not as durable as \npetroleum oil, but this is only because of the lack of sophistication \nof the chemistry involved. Synthetic fuels and lubricants are continuously\nbeing developed, and I don't see any problems with synthetics ultimately \nmatching the performance of the more conventional products. As the rock\noil runs out, plant oil derivatives *will* be developed to fill the\ngap. In parallel, changes will occur in the designs of the machines to \ncope with any changes in performance of the lubricants.\n\nMy big concern is if the technology were ever to be lost for some reason.\nRe-creating a petrochemical industry from scratch without petrochemicals\n(that is, going immediately to plant-based synthetics) would be extremely \ndifficult, especially if it were necessary to recreate *all* of the\npetrochemical-derived products (not just lubricants and fuels). I suspect\nthat, bearing in mind the ingenuity of the human race, it would happen,\njust at a different pace. Imagine an industrial revollution based on,\nfor example, methane from pig manure, or diesel oil from sunflowers.\n\nAll we would then have to do is get used to all the machines smelling\nlike pig farms and fish and chip shops...\n\nRobin Hill, STEAMY BESS, Brough, East Yorkshire\n\n\n\n********************************************************************\nThis email and any attachments are confidential to the intended\nrecipient and may also be privileged.

According\nto the Department for Trade and Industry, the average Briton stands head,\nshoulders, girth and bottoms above their continental partners.\nThe figures come in a new edition of the department's handbook of\nanthropometric and strength measurements, compiled by ergonomists at the\nUniversity of Nottingham to help manufacturers design products to fit\npeople's shape.\nThe volume provides 294 measurements ranging from the distance between the\ninner corners of the eyes to the length of the leg between the crease below\nthe buttock to the crease at the back of the knee.\nIt has discovered that the average British man is 36 millimetres (1 inches)\ntaller than his French counterpart.\nThe mean height of UK citizens is 1,755.1mm (5ft 9in). Among European men\nonly the Dutch are taller, averaging 1,795mm and with a clear height\nadvantage over the US men's average of 1,760.4.\nThe average British woman is 1,620mm tall (just under 5ft 4in), compared\nwith 1,604mm for her French counterpart, 1,610mm for the Italians and\n1,619mm for the Germans. Swedish women average 1,640mm, Dutch 1,650mm and\nAmericans 1,626.7mm\nMore disturbingly, British men and women are heavier than all the other\nnationalities except the Americans, averaging 79.75 kilos for British men\nand 66.7 for women.\nThe average British woman has a chest measurement of 1,007.8mm (39.7\ninches), compared with 965mm for the Italians, 912.6mm for the Japanese and\n806mm for Sri Lankans. American women also top this scale with an average of\n1,047.2mm.\nThe average British woman's waist is 840.6mm (33 inches) - also second\nlargest behind the Americans. But her bottom at 873.7mm is considerably\nsmaller than the Italians at 916mm who beat the Americans into second place.\nThe average British male foot is 266.8mm long (10.5 inches), 6mm longer than\nthe French and Germans, 3mm more than the Italians and 1mm more than the\nSwedes. But they are just beaten by the Americans at 267.8mm and massively\noutstripped by the Dutch at 275mm.\nHowever Dutch women have daintier feet than the British, averaging 240mm\ncompared with 241.1mm in the UK (9.5 inches). German women average 242mm,\ncompared with 245mm for the Swedes and 242.1mm for the Americans.\nThe DTI has a less than exhaustive record of ring finger lengths, but on the\navailable evidence the British man's finger at 78.7mm (3.1 inches) is 1.7mm\nlonger than his German counterpart, but 0.2mm shorter than the American\naverage.\nThe British woman's ring finger at 72.6mm is 0.4mm smaller than her German\ncounterpart and 0.3mm smaller than the American.\nBeverley Norris, research fellow at Nottingham university's institute for\noccupational ergonomics, said the figures were useful for product designers.\nThe department has recently completed a study of the pulling force needed to\nopen ring pull cans.\n\n------------------------ Yahoo!

['Subject: [zzzzteana] Emigrate to Russia? That\'s a steppe too far \nThe Electronic Telegraph\n\n Emigrate to Russia? That\'s a steppe too far\n (Filed: 28/08/2002) \n \n \n So you think you\'ve got it bad: fed up with Folkestone, bored with Birmingham\n or sick of Sheffield.\n \n Those 54 per cent of Britons - according to a Daily Telegraph/YouGov survey\n this week - who dream of a stress-free life in sunnier climes should perhaps\n heed a word of friendly advice on the realities of living abroad.\n \n Kommersant, a Russian daily newspaper, yesterday offered those dissatisfied\n with life in Blair\'s Britain a taste of what to expect should they choose to\n emigrate to provincial Russia.\n \n After reading about the gripes of affluent Britons, its tongue-in-cheek\n article admitted, however, that the grass was not always greener on the other\n side.\n \n "The inhabitants of foggy Albion keen to travel could go to any Russian city\n deep in the provinces where things are quiet," said Kommersant.\n \n "In any central Russian district, life, by British standards, is unseemingly\n cheap and remarkably laid back. By 11am most of the working population are\n becoming \'traditionally\' relaxed."\n \n The time for elevenses in Britain - perhaps the opportunity for a quiet cup of\n tea and a chocolate Hobnob - is known in Russia as the Wolf Hour.\n \n It was so named in Soviet times because at 11am a wolf appeared from the\n famous animal clock at the Obrasov Puppet Theatre in Moscow. It is also\n opening time in the nation\'s vodka shops.\n \n And the vodka, like all other spirits, is cheap. Kommersant pointed out that\n "the money a Briton can earn from selling even the most shabby house would be\n enough to support them at the local standard of living for the rest of their\n life.\n \n "The local shops are full of all they would need and they could buy a bottle\n of whisky for kopecks."\n \n There are 100 kopecks in a ruble and the ruble is currently worth about a\n halfpenny in sterling.\n \n The whisky is cheap, however, because it is unlike anything the average Briton\n will have consumed before. It is made of samagon - home-distilled, moonshine\n vodka - coloured with tea, and is a popular beverage in rural areas and among\n diehard alcoholics.\n \n While alcohol is plentiful and cheap, food may not be so easy to come by. The\n newspaper pointed out that traditional British foodstuffs - it selected oxtail\n soup as an example - were in short supply. However, the wealth of the British\n settler should overcome the difficulty.\n \n "For a modest reward in most Russian villages, the locals would happily cut\n off the tails from the entire collective farm\'s herd of cattle."\n \n One or two potential emigrés might be deterred by language difficulties. There\n are few English speakers to be found among the green hills of Tula on the\n Mongolian border.\n \n However, Kommersant pointed out, language difficulties were not considered a\n deterrent by the 13 per cent of Britons who nominated France as the country in\n which they would like to live.\n \n France, the Russian paper claimed, was a country "where English is only known\n by the beggars, Belorussian prostitutes and Russian tourists".\n \n Despite the low cost of living and the easy-going lifestyle, the Russian\n weather remains a major stumbling block for Britons.\n \n Even in the most temperate regions, winter temperatures of -20C are common.\n And somewhere like the Sakha Republic - east of Siberia and the coldest place\n in the world - enjoys just one month of summer and endures winter temperatures\n that drop below -70C. Houses are built on concrete stilts because the\n permafrost makes digging foundations impossible.\n \n Again, the Russian paper had a word of reassurance. While acknowledging the\n climatic problems, it said that "thanks to global warming this difficulty will\n solve itself".\n \n Kommersant also had an answer to the labour crisis that would be created in\n Britain if 54 per cent of its citizens decided to opt for a life in Russia.\n \n "Thirty-three million Russians could be sent to Britain to replace the 33\n million who leave. We think that the required number could probably be found\n amongst our citizens."\n \n Unfortunately for those 33 million Russians, however, not one of those Britons\n surveyed who wanted to move abroad nominated the Russian steppes as their\n preferred new home.\n\n\n------------------------ Yahoo!

["Subject: [zzzzteana] Six arrested for attacking Palio jockey who defected \nThe Electronic Telegraph\n\n Six arrested for attacking Palio jockey who defected \n By Bruce Johnston in Rome\n (Filed: 28/08/2002) \n \n \n Police waded into the intrigues and enmities surrounding the Palio, Siena's\n traditional bareback horse race, for the first time yesterday, arresting six\n people for beating up a star jockey who defected to a rival team.\n \n \n Angry spectators attack Giuseppe Pes at the Palio horse race in Siena \n Giuseppe Pes, a champion jockey of Sardinian extraction who has won the Palio\n nine times in 38 runs, was closely associated with the Istrice, or Porcupine,\n contrada - section of town - until the race earlier this month.\n \n Istrice did not have a horse in the contest - only 10 of the 17 contradas take\n part in each Palio - but, despite promises to the contrary, moments before the\n off Mr Pes mounted the horse of Lupa, or She-Wolf.\n \n Lupa are Istrice's historic rivals, and the defection was not taken well. Lupa\n did not win, victory going instead to Tartuca, tortoise.\n \n As its supporters erupted into joyous celebrations, Mr Pes was pulled from his\n mount by Istrice members and savagely beaten and kicked for seven minutes.\n \n Mr Pes, 39, whose jacket with his contrada's colours was torn from his back,\n was sent to hospital with fractures, cuts and bruises.\n \n Three of his attendants who tried to intervene were also beaten. Police\n yesterday arrested six people they said had been identified as the attackers\n from video footage.\n \n Experts said it was the first time that members of a contrada - known as\n contradaioli - had been arrested for beating up a jockey, despite the fact\n that such episodes belong to the race's ancient traditions.\n \n The Palio, which was first raced in the 14th century, is held twice a year on\n the cobbles of Siena's main square. For weeks beforehand supporters parade\n through the city, singing, waving flags and wearing their contrada colours.\n But by the day of the race the good humour evaporates.\n \n The event has no rules and is prepared for and run amid an extraordinary\n undercurrent of intrigue and even violence. Jockeys may swap sides at the last\n minute, take bribes, and whip rivals' horses, and more, so long as they do not\n grab their reins.\n \n The origins of the contrada lie in the Middle Ages, when the neighbourhoods'\n boundaries were set out to aid the many mercenary companies hired to defend\n Siena's fiercely earned independence from Florence and other city states.\n \n The first Palio of the year takes place on July 2, to commemorate the miracles\n of the Madonna of Provenzano, and a second race on Aug 16 marks the feast of\n the Assumption of the Virgin.\n\n\n------------------------ Yahoo!

['Subject: [zzzzteana] That wacky imam \nhttp://media.guardian.co.uk/broadcast/comment/0,7493,781769,00.html\n\nHamza\'s horrid - but we must tolerate him\n\nRod Liddle\nWednesday August 28, 2002\nThe Guardian\n\nSheikh Abu Hamza al-Masri, our maddest of mad mullahs and a cartoon bogeyman\nto scare the kiddies, spent a quiet and contemplative bank holiday playing\nwith his own children in Victoria Park, Hackney.\nI\'ve often wondered what incendiary Islamic fundamentalist clerics do on\nstatutory public holidays. Head for the beach and maybe swing by B&Q on the\nway home, I had hoped. I had this beguiling vision of Hamza paddling in the\nsea, an ice-cream cone in his one good hand, the waves tickling his shins,\nand the sheikh mentally preparing to fix those pesky shelves in the kitchen\nfor once, instead of planning the extermination of Zionism and America and\nmaybe me and you, too.\nBut B&Q and a day at the seaside is probably beyond Hamza\'s budget since the\nBank of England froze his assets, so Victoria Park had to do. But he sounded\nhappy enough when I spoke to him, with the babble of tiny, cheerful, Islamic\nproto-warriors in the background.\nYou must know Hamza; he\'s the imam designed, it would seem, by the Daily\nMail\'s cartoonist Mac. Large metal hook in place of a left hand. One eye\ncovered by a patch, the other a baleful, watchful, milky-white. We don\'t\nmock the disabled any more these days, unless it\'s someone like Hamza whom\nwe don\'t like; then, if you\'ll excuse the inapt phraseology, the gloves come\noff. So Hamza is known (with that vaulting imagination typical of the\nBritish right) as "Captain Hook", in articles which usually call for his\narrest, or extradition to the US, or deportation back home to Egypt or maybe\noff to Pakistan or Afghanistan, where he fought the Russians for years and\nthus sustained his disabilities - anywhere, really; just out of here. And if\nwe can\'t lock him up or chuck him out of the country, maybe we can force him\nto shut up.\nBecause we don\'t like Hamza very much. We weren\'t that fond of him before\nSeptember 11, but afterwards, in that nervy, paranoid few months when we all\nthought the sky might fall in, our disapprobation turned into political\npersecution.\nAnd now the Daily Mirror is agitating again for his arrest because they\'ve\ngot hold of secret videos of the man behaving in an even more inflammatory\nmanner, urging warfare on and looting of enemies of Islam. All out of\ncontext, and a very long time ago, says the imam, not unduly bothered. But\nperhaps he should be, because our reputation for broad-mindedness and\ntolerance towards people like Hamza was thinning even before the Mirror\'s\nscoop.\nHamza preaches, or preached, at the scary Finsbury Park Mosque - so, earlier\nthis year, the Charity Commissioners banned him from doing so because of his\nallegedly inflammatory remarks. I didn\'t know Charity Commissioners were\nmeant to do stuff like that.\nHe has had his passport seized and not returned; his assets have been\nfrozen. He is tailed by the police every now and then, and his access to the\nmedia is restricted by internal policing within broadcasting corporations\nand the press. And this last point is because, we tell ourselves, endlessly\n- repeating the mantra over and over again, and fervently wishing it to be\ntrue - Hamza is not "representative" of British Muslims, as if British\nMuslims were a simple, homogenous thing with a single voice that one could\nturn to every now and then for explanation. And perhaps succour.\nThe trouble is, in the first month or so after the twin towers attack he was\nrevealed to be rather more "representative" than the list of those\ngovernment-approved Muslim spokesmen who were - uncomfortably, I suspect -\ndragooned briefly into statements of support for the war against terrorism\nand a blanket condemnation of the Taliban.\nAn opinion poll commissioned by Radio 4\'s Today programme revealed that an\noverwhelming majority of British Muslims were against George Bush\'s crusade.\nOne in six were, to put it mildly, ambivalent about the attack on the US\n(the remainder condemned the attack unequivocally). A large majority thought\nthe war against terrorism was a war against Islam.\nWhich is what Hamza said, repeatedly. But it was something that, at the\ntime, we didn\'t want to hear. Now, if you quiz the man on present policy at\nhome and abroad he comes across - superficially, at least - as someone from\nthe liberal left. No war against Iraq; Britain to become independent of US\nforeign policy and attempt rapprochement with Arab states; stronger action\nagainst Israel; mistrust of global capitalism; redistribution of wealth.\nNor is he particularly anti-semitic, so far as I can tell, although I don\'t\nsuppose he will be holidaying in Eilat this year. In yesterday\'s Guardian,\nthe chief rabbi expressed a willingness to talk to Hamza and was grateful\nfor the sheikh\'s message of condolence when a London synagogue was attacked.\nWhich is not to say that Hamza is a peaceable Jeffersonian democrat who has\nbeen wilfully misrepresented: he is, without question, rather more\ninflammatory in private sermons to his own people than he is in public. His\nideology is an arid and uncompromising interpretation of Islam: he would be\nhappy, in a truly Islamic society, to stone women to death for adultery, for\nexample. You and I would find many - perhaps most - of his views utterly\nrepellent.\nAnd that\'s the point. Because Hamza is the true test of our apparent desire\nto be multicultural. Multiculturalism is not, surely, the cheerful\nappropriation of bits of inoffensive minority cultural behaviour by the\nruling hegemony. That is a sort of syncopated monoculturalism.\nMulticulturalism is, rather, the ability of society to tolerate views that\nare antithetical to the dominant culture - and maybe learn from them.\nThe FBI has been investigating Hamza, but, of course, has found nothing\nremotely incriminating. The real reason for his vilification and persecution\nis simply the pungency of his views.\nIt is often said that we should shut him up or arrest him because his\nrhetoric increases hostility against the Muslim population generally. This\nis a perfectly noble argument, but it does not wash.\nYou don\'t defuse a difficult situation by pretending it doesn\'t exist. And\nif British Muslims - maybe a minority, maybe not - feel a growing sense of\nunease or mystification at the direction of western foreign policy, it is\nnot because they have been led in that direction by Hamza. Shutting the man\nup, therefore, won\'t make a difference.\nIt is rather as Louis MacNeice had it:\nThe glass is falling hour by hour, the glass will fall for ever.\nBut if you break the bloody glass, you won\'t hold up the weather.\n\n\n------------------------ Yahoo!

['Subject: [zzzzteana] White Horse vandalised \nhttp://yorkshirepost.co.uk/ed/front/481722\n\nPro-hunt activists target top sight\n\nONE of Yorkshire\'s most famous sights yesterday became one of the first\ntargets in bizarre attacks on White Horse landmarks linked to the hunting\ndebate.\nVillagers near Thirsk could not believe their eyes when they woke yesterday\nto find the famous White Horse of Kilburn had acquired a rider during the\nnight.\nIn another incident, the Uffington white horse in Oxfordshire had a huntsman\nand three hounds added to the ancient figure, which is thought to represent\na Celtic god or tribal symbol.\nPro-hunt activists in the Real Countryside Alliance (RCA) \xad a radical\nalternative to the better-known Countryside Alliance \xad admitted\nresponsibility last night for targeting the two images.\nThe 314ft by 228ft landmark at Kilburn has been lovingly preserved since it\nwas carved in the limestone by schoolmaster John Hodgson and his pupils in\n1857.\nBut during Monday night someone nailed on a massive figure of a huntsman\nwith a horn \xad which had been cut to scale out of a single piece of white\ncarpet. It was removed yesterday by members of Kilburn White Horse\nAssociation, who found a Countryside Alliance badge attached to the carpet.\nJohn Roberts of the association said: "It has obviously been very well\norganised. It was a well crafted piece of kit: a figure of a huntsman with a\nhorn cut out of carpets.\n"It was big and impressive and could be seen for miles about. They tied it\nto bushes at the top and nailed it down. It caused all the stone chippings\nto be pushed downwards, which will help turn the white horse grey. It will\nnot get another refit for another year.\n"Whoever did it must have come with a vehicle \xad a tractor and trailer or a\nlorry \xad because the carpet must have come in one piece. It was extremely\nwell planned and took several people an hour and a half to get it off."\nThe sculpture needs constant work because, unlike chalk horses in the south\nof England, it is cut into limestone which is the wrong colour and needs\nwhitening.\nMr Roberts added: "The damage as such is not great but it adds to the\ndeterioration, which means it will need more work next time.\n"We would have more sympathy if, having made the point, they would come to\ntake it away again because it was a major job."\nAndy Wilson, chief executive of the North York Moors National Park, said:\n"It is a scheduled ancient monument and the local residents are very proud\nof it and go to enormous trouble to keep it white. There is also careful\nconsideration of what shape it should be kept with the constant growth of\nvegetation so you can understand the alarm and regret at any changes. There\nhas not been a cut in the turf \xad which would be much more of a problem. It\nwould seem it was carefully plotted beforehand."\nAn RCA spokesman said: "Some people in the country are getting very\nfrustrated at the inaction. All we want is Ministers to take notice. Marches\ndon\'t seem to be doing anything good."\nThe Countryside Alliance said it did not have any part in the action.\nSpokesman Adrian Yelland said: "The Countryside Alliance only ever advocates\ncampaigning that is lawful and dissociates itself from acts of vandalism and\nregrets any damage that may have been caused by this incident."\nThe incident follows graffiti on road signs and motorway bridges in\nYorkshire thought to be RCA work.\n\n------------------------ Yahoo!

["Subject: [zzzzteana] It's August, and big cats are on the prowl \nThe Times\n\n August 28, 2002\n \n It's August, and big cats are on the prowl\n By Alan Hamilton\n \n \n \n ROUND up the sheep. Pull on the gauntlets. Oil the shotgun. The British\n countryside is crawling with pumas, black panthers, fen tigers and other big,\n vicious cats. No corner of the nation is safe. Evidence released yesterday,\n including sightings, photographs, paw prints, livestock kills and hair\n samples, claims to prove that every county has big cats lurking in its\n undergrowth, poised to pounce on man and beast alike. \n \n Sightings have reached record levels in 2002, according to Daniel Bamping,\n founder of the British Big Cats Society, which in the past 12 months has\n received more than 800 reports of big cat sightings. \n \n \x93During the first six months we have seen an incredible amount of big cat\n activity. We have now had reports in every single county; the response from\n the public has been fantastic,\x94 Mr Bamping said. \x93Big cats in Britain are\n real. They are out there, they are breeding; there\x92s more of them.\x94 \n \n Scotland and Gloucestershire are said to be hotspots of big cat activity. Mark\n Fraser, who heads the society\x92s Scottish arm, said: \x93Lynx are now present in\n the Scottish countryside; I believe they are established and breeding. I don\x92t\n want to hazard a guess at the numbers; suffice it to say there are several\n hotspots, notably Fife, Aberdeenshire, Inverness and the Borders.\x94 \n \n Next month the society plans to unveil its full dossier of evidence, which\n includes two dead wild cats, pictures of paw prints and tree scratchings, as\n well as stories of a horse strangely lacerated in West Wales and a man in\n Gravesham, Kent, who had to beat a hasty retreat to his garage after his hand\n was cut by a creature the size of a labrador dog, except that it had black\n hairy tufts on the tips of its ears. \n \n The society is taking the sightings seriously. It plans to set up a network of\n trigger-cameras throughout the country to capture further evidence of the\n beasts, which it will then present to the Government. \n \n It is not, however, clear on what it wants the Government to do about it all.\n Throwing its weight behind the pro-hunting lobby might be a start. \n \n Next in August: record abductions by aliens.\n \n \n\n\n------------------------ Yahoo!

The issue is that basic phallacy that says a suit\nshould be able to "own" someone else\'s intellectual property. Sarah\nMcLaughlin isn\'t suing you, it\'s her label\'s legal dept because it\'s\nthe label who stands to lose; Sarah\'s already fat beyond her wildest\ndreams, so a few bucks here or there, or even if the well dried up\ntomorrow, it\'s not going to really traumatize her (unless she\'s been\nblazingly stupid with her money)\n\nBut the label ... like Disney and Mickey, they need the cash cow so\nthey can keep all sorts of uncreative hangers-on in limos and coke.\nIf you thought only Elvis or Brian Jones or Dennis Wilson had problems\nwith beautiful-people deadbeat leech "friends" draining their riches,\nthink again.\n\nThe problem is really very simple because it is semantic, and until we\nmake the semantic flip, it\'s unsolvable, but like trisecting an angle,\nall it takes is looking at the same situation in a different\nway. Here\'s the revelation: Elvis never ever made a hit record.\n\nElvis didn\'t make the hits, his /fans/ made the hits. His fans did\nthe work cleaning toilets, manning the convenience stores, driving\nmilk trucks, sitting at endless office desks, they did the /real/\nlabour that paid for every last one of Elvis Presley\'s pills. All\nElvis did was sing into a microphone every so often, and pen or\ncollect the odd song that all those /people/ liked and wanted as\nsomething of their own. But it\'s not _Elvis_ who made them universal\nstatements, it is the universe of fans who slurped the songs into\ntheir own lives, it was pull-technology, not push.\n\nTherefore the question becomes: how many times must these fans pay\nbefore they own what they themselves have created? They pay royalties\nfor listening to the radio, for blank tapes, for concert tickets, for\na beer in a bar with a cover band ... they pay over and over and over\nagain for the /right/ to make some hack writer\'s song /their/\nfavourite song???? That\'s where the whole system has been seriously\nwarped by the record companies and ad companies reframing it into your\nthinking that it is the Elvis who makes the Elvis. It\'s not. It\'s\nthe people who make them; the songs are already theirs.\n\n-- \nGary Lawrence Murphy <[email protected]> TeleDynamics Communications Inc\n Business Advantage through Community Software : http://www.teledyn.com\n"Computers are useless.

You\ncould however, put the files onto windows, boot onto a ILUG BBC[tm] and\nmount the fat32 partition.\n\nEasier/Quicker way is to get your hands on a PCMCIA nic. Also makes the\nmaptop far more useful in the long run.\n\nGavin\n\n\n-- \nIrish Linux Users' Group: [email protected]\nhttp://www.linux.ie/mailman/listinfo/ilug for (un)subscription information.\nList maintainer: [email protected]\n\n"]
