I don't like the sound of this sentence.  Is it blaming the crime on
two ethnic groups? I hope I have missunderstood the meaning of this.

Home brewed, running on 386bsd.  Having a real cron to kick off things

does little more than have command line switches to turn things on and
off, but thats still useful...

Bizzare -- the controller was hooked up to a 486DX/33Mhz, so I doubt
that your hardware was "too fast".  Off course, we never even booted
the DOS program on the machine, because, after all, running DOS is one
of the seven deadly sins :-)

I was looking to buy some X-10 remote control modules, and am having

My ONLY hit at this point is Security Showcase way down toward
Clinton, MD. Here I am way up in Gaithersburg, MD, just about as far
away from there as I can get and still be in the same metropolitan
area. Isn't there somewhere that sells these things?

P.S. My other lead was Heathkit, who sells them by mail, but they just
told me they are dropping it all, and focussing on their educational

Any leads out there?

Yes, what about randomness? You're an NIH scientist; seems you
would want to bring the same emotional detachment and respect
for quantitative methods to bear on matters of social psychology
that you apply to your own discipline. 

Specifically, it might be that the seeming increase in
especially violent crimes is due to a trend in the D.C. news
media toward highlighting them in various ways, not to any real
increase in the rate of these crimes here. There is only =one= way
to determine the truth: a quantitative analysis of newspaper
coverage compared to a count of actual cases over the time
period in question, say 25 years. This is beyond the means of
most of us, so we remain entirely at the mercy of rubber-minded
journalists. 

I remember when I got my first apartment in D.C. at the beginning
of my career in 1968, dig, 24 years ago.  Sometime later that 
year the Post ran a long gruesome story of how a newleywed
couple just moved into the Adams-Morgan neighborhood were
brutally murdered. There was much discussion at our office in
suburban Virginia of how things were =going downhill= and that I
was crazy to live in D.C....

Cucumber is a good store (as has been mentioned already) but it's open only

I believe they specialize in Unix books.

Check out Border's in Rockville, on Rockville Pike just north of Nicholson.
They are easily the best general and technical bookstore in Montgomery county.

  Perhaps this year's performance (and years prior to last year) is the
  real Mark Rypien and last year was the abberation performance.  I think
  Washington decided, wrongly IMO, that Rypien was their QB of the future.
  They should have made the competition during this year's training camp 
  more meaningful by playing Humphries more and not treating his trade as
  a done deal.  All Washington is going to regret that trade if this
  performance keeps up.  Even if we beat Denver this week Philadelphia comes
  to town the following week and a loss to the Eagles puts even the wild card
  spot in *major* jeopardy.  It doesn't look good folks..

I almost have to cry right now.  I am curious to read what Rypien has to say
about his three interceptions tonight in the paper tomorrow.  I can't be too
hard on Lohmiller for missing that field goal because the Skins shouldn't
have gotten to the point where they needed a field goal just to take the
game into overtime.  This game hurt more us lots more than it should have.
Any word on AJ's injury?  For that matter, any of the several injuries that
occured.  At any rate, I hope other fans who watched the game are as depressed
about the game as I am.  17 points in the 1st quarter.  17-0 lead at the
half.  Then 1 interception sets up a Cardinals scoring drive.  2 other
interceptions score immediately and an extra touchdown wins the game because
we only manage to put 7 more points on the board.  There is something foul
in the state of our offensive scheme and its name is inconsistency.

This may be an illustration of that ...

He did deserve a raise based on last year's performance, but not to three

  I don't agree w/ your comment on the offensive line play.  Admittedly,
  I watched the game on fast forward at 3am this am but the line played
  well IMO.  This game was lost on two silly passes that were ALL Rypien's 
  fault.  He had plenty of time to throw all game long even at the end.
  Washington didn't get down to the 22 yd. line w/o *great* line play at the
  end and two tremendous grabs by Byner when Rypien couldn't find anyone open.
  Rypien acts confused behind the center and his hesitant plays reflect
  this.  One more thing.  What about Lohmiller's wide right boot?  Kickers
  *have* to make those kicks.  He in IMO isn't a pressure kicker and never has
  been.  He missed a big kick against the Giants the year after Washington last
  won the SB.  After the problems with the two Zendejas' kickers Washington has
  invested a lot in Lohmiller and if he can't make a 39 yder when the team
  needs it..(and I didn't see any problem w/ the snap or protection)...then
  the team doesn't need him.
  Be Interested in reading any comments about this.
