The ADT method of bypassing the need for a telephone link for alarm
signalling is to use a radio link......it turns out the people I know do
_not_ have this extra facilty. However, if the phone line is cut on a
dial-out based system, the internal alarm sounds in the house which
would I assume provide some deterrent to the burglar; I presume this
relies on a simple line monitoring device connected to the modem in the
alarm computer.

In fact, it is possible. A radar detector is a radio receiver. Nearly
all radio receivers contain radio frequency oscillators as part of
their circuitry. An oscillator is the first stage in a radio transmitter.
The leakage from these oscillators can be detected with another suitable
radio receiver and antenna.

Using such technology, it is even possible to determine to what
frequency your radio receiver is tuned to (most radios and TV's use
standard designs and known frequencies).

In the UK, televisions are licensed. Unlicensed televisions are
routinely detected by roaming vans that listen for the TV's
oscillator(s). Intelligence agencies also employ this technology.

I was suprised to find out a few years ago that there still are "dry"
towns. A friend lived in Sharon, MA used to complain about having
to drive all the way to Canton, or Walpole to go to a liquor store.
Of course the liquor store owners helped the best that they could
by putting the liquor stores as close to the town border as they
could. (You can see the "Entering Sharon" from the parking lot
of either liquor store.

Ohhhh!  Someone else replied that the law on this was changed fairly
recently.  Interesting I haven't seen alcohol in any stores in MetroWest.
The closest thing I've seen was Stah Mahket on Boylston st - but the
alcohol was in a separate little "store" inside the supermarket.

In New Hampshuh, they sell beer right alonside the bread (and milk,

Hel-lo? Mc Fly?

I guess you've never, ever, seen the Metro Police patrolling places like 
Memorial Drive, Mc Grath Highway, Storrow Drive, Rt. 16 near Wellington
Station, etc., where the limit is artificially set low (like 35 for a three-
lanes-each-way highway), looking for speeders doing, say 45 or 50? These
cops are using RADAR. Why do I say "artificially set low"? Because people
tend to drive at the speed that they are comfortable, and most competent
drivers will see large expanses of road like that and won't go 35. My
detector comes on every time I'm on the road. You don't have to be doing
anymore than 56 in a 55 to be "speeding", you know.

The scary part is I have to share the road with people to whom this revelation
is news.... Oh well, I guess it's better to trap the unwary, so that the care-
ful don't get caught.

The reason you have the Central Artery embarassement is incredibly inept
road planning and a significantly larger than designed-for traffic 
population.   My favorite ineptitude is the loss of the far left lane
just before the 93/Rt 1 merge on 93 heading north.  No notice or warning--
if you are lucky, there might be room for you to merge when you notice 
that your lane has just ended.

Of course, the merge up ahead also qualifies pretty much as brain-dead too.

Not doubting you, but it's funny you mention that, coming from Jersey, and
all. Every time I go thru Jersey, it amazes me to see how *everybody*
immediately gravitates to the leftmost lane, no matter what. I was able to
do a sustained 80 because the two right lanes on the GSP were empty, while
the leftmost lane was moving at 60-65. Jersey drivers come here (as evidenced
by plates, anyway) and do the same thing.

Noone in Connecticut can drive. Period. The anti-driver stance of the CT
gubmint must have taken away whatever spirit they had.

Ah, but there are still a number of *drug stores* in Massachusetts that

   Hmm... I don't think you're the one I saw several months ago in traffic.
   That was a guy. He also had a radar detector on his dash and everyone in
   my car had a good laugh when I pointed it out. I think he was a little
   annoyed. Contrary to published reports of Rodney King doing 115mph (In
   the Herald only a few days ago) the top speed of a Hyundai is about 90mph.

I'm not sure why you're laughing.  I've got a Toyota Tercel, which is
not exactly going to leave the original poster's Hyundai in the dust, 
and my radar detector saved me from many a speeding ticket.  Neither a
Tercel nor a Hyundai is going to burn up the road, but you don't have
to be going 90 MPH to get a ticket, either.

Must be the same kind of drivers who, on 2-lane roads (1 lane in each
direction) drive 10 mph under the limit in the no-passing zones, and then
quickly speed up to the limit, or above, in the passing zones, so you
can't pass them!  They must think the solid yellow line means: "Caution."

A survey of the basic formulas of queueing theory is presented.  We
next describe the linear algebraic (matrix) formulation which is a
complete computational, as well as algebraic, procedure for dealing
with non-exponential servers.  We then show how to derive and compute
steady-state properties of M/G/1, G/M/1, M/G/C, and G/G/1 queues using
this formalism.  This includes consideration of departure and arrival
points.  Finally, we show how transient properties of queueing systems
can be calculated, using the same mathematical objects which were used
for analyzing their steady-state properties.  Some specific topics,
including examples, are: Busy periods; Time for queue growth and
reduction; Mean time to failure.  We will also show the connection
with Jackson Networks.

Greater Nashua Software Special Interest Group
First Meeting Tuesday, Jan 19, 7:00 pm
Chandler Library, 257 Main Street, Nashua, NH

In response to requests, we are organizing the Greater Nashua Software
Special Interest Group (SIG). You are invited to attend the first
meeting on Tuesday, Jan 19, at 7:00 pm at the Chandler Library, 257
Main Street, Nashua, NH.

To kick-off the SIG, we have invited Frank Grossman and Jim Moskun of
Nu-Mega Technologies, a successful software company in Nashua. Nu-Mega
develops and markets development tools for DOS and Microsoft Windows.
PC Magazine called their Soft-ICE/W product a "must for serious
Windows debugging". Frank and Jim will tell how they got started, what
they learned, and what they are doing now.

Also at this meeting, we will discuss organizational and planning
issues for the SIG. We need to find out what your needs and interests
are to best define the goals of the SIG and to keep it productive and
valuable for all its members.

This SIG will provide software entrepreneurs a forum where issues
important to their business can be discussed. In return, information
relating to software business development will be presented and
networking and mentoring between members will be promoted.

The SIG is sponsored by the Entrepreneurs Committee of the Center for
Economic Development, a cooperative effort between the Greater Nashua
Chamber of Commerce, the City of Nashua and the surrounding towns.

Bring your ideas and come help us!

If you have any questions or need more information, contact one of us.

Multimedia."  This one-day workshop will introduce 
the basic components and concepts of interactive 
multimedia.  Several recent development efforts 
will be presented in detail, and participants will 
be able to experiment "hands-on" with the resulting 
products.  Participants will be introduced to the 
equipment, hardware, and software needed to get 
started on their own multimedia applications.  
Various multimedia "platforms" will be discussed.  
There will be a hands-on period using the 
University's Multimedia Lab.  We plan to have many 
experts in the production field to answer any 
questions participants may have.  This workshop is 
a repeat of a popular workshop given last year

IICS is a membership organization of video and 
computer professionals involved in the production 
of interactive multi-media materials.  The workshop 
is offered to members for $25, and to non-members 
for $50.  SPECIAL OFFER TO NEW MEMBERS:  JOIN IICS 
AT THE NORMAL RATE OF $85/yr. (STUDENTS $45/yr.), 
AND ATTEND THE WORKSHOP FREE OF CHARGE.

Registration is limited to 36, and is first-come-
