 I just have one thing to point out.  When philosopher Kim Yong Oak
uses the term, "Ki Chu-hahk", he is not referring to ki-philosophy
which is widely used term.  He is referring to his own unique
philosophy as he strongly emphasized several times in his books.

Someone responded to that saying send mail to the author; actually,
I did send mail when I was responding to the 'hcode' article, and

So now, does he still maintain hanterm code?

Hi  ! 

Could you anybody give me a bit of useful advice for PC purchase?
I refunded my computer which I bought that 1 month ago.
That was 486-50 Mh, 4M-RAM, 210M-HD and S-VGA moniter with
Local Bus. But unfortunately, I have to refund it becase of some 
system problem and monitor. When I first choose that company in
computer shopper magazine, I scrutinized the company's
advertisement for several months.     Huuuu !!!!!
Anyway, I refunded it, and I had to bear the deduction for shipping 
and handling charge.

Now I'm going to buy new computer with same(?) option. I am thinking
about the Local Bus and vga card. But I don't have any idea on that.
I am also thinking about a kind of accelator.

Could you recommend any accellator? And if you purchased your computer
recently and satisfied with that, could you give me that information? 

Thanks in advence......

During the winter 1988-89 I shared an office at the mathematics department of
Imperial College, London with a Korean guy, Chung Woo Kim. He was doing a PhD in
mathematics and working on general relativity. He was going to finish in the
spring of 1991 and then he was going back to Korea for his military service. 
Is there anyone who knows his whereabouts? We kept in touch for a while but I
have not heard from him for some time. I'd be grateful for any help.

Greetings, Brian! It's me, Kwangyl!
It's nice to talk to you again.
When I read your profound and terse post, I start to  be confused as usual.
Let me tell you why.

According to my memory of you, you were a strong supporter of America's
threat to North Korea.  You said, I wish my memory is correct, Kim Il Sung 
should be stopped from getting A-bomb by all means available.
I don't know what exactly you meant by the words "all means avialable ",
but I assumed that include militaristic options.
Because you looked like supporting a militaristic options, I thought you
are a person ready to be called by draft office at any time.
I thought you are a M16-wielding, war loving, don't caring what happen to Korea,
Rambo-worshiping  red-blooded Korean. 
 
Now you start to give me different images of you.
You start to showing me your peaceful face  saying you love to 
keep your individuality, you want to be remained different.
(Believe me Brian, every single soul who is serving in Korean  army want 
to keep their individuality as much as you do.)
You are saying that you don't like to be changed into a killing machine 
and you are not the type for army.
(Believe me Brian, there is no Korean youngster want to be changed into a 
killing machine except few psychos.)
You are saying you don't believe in mandatory service. ( There is no single 
Korean who believe in mandatory service. But that's the best we can get.)


What happenned to you, Brian?
Which one is real Brian, the strong supportter of militaristic option who is
ready to smash commies in North or the military hating individualist?
Could you support a possible war which you don't want to fight yourself?
Answer my questions and enlighten me as usual.

I never flame people out of groundless reasons, but I couldn't be
sympathetic with Brian's joke concerning the soldiers that are
defending R.O.K. at this moment, especially the ones defending at the
38th parallel line in cold weather that must be prevalent there this
time of the year.  To think of endless propaganda broadcasted over by
the North Korean army about the hot komtang and sullungtang they
supposedly enjoy, thus inducing unbearable hunger to our ill-fed
soldiers, brings me tears in my eyes.  Even if the truth may never be
known to the credibility regarding the broadcasts, North Korea, with
its highly acclaimed chemical weapons technology, can easily create
fake (but surprisingly delicious) aroma over the border, and that is
indeed frightening.

I am interested in the opinion of Korean male society regarding the
dating between Korean woman and non-Korean man. Since most of the
subscribers to the this newsgroup are predominantly Korean or
Korean-American males I would like to know your honest view regarding
this matter. Also, I would like to know if there is difference in
opinion among 1st, 1.5, and 2nd generation. Not restricting only to this
subject, I would also like to hear your opinion regarding optimal dating
relationship among 1.5 and 2nd generation Korean-Americans, either in
between them or outside the race. I know the subject is broad but I will
appreciate your input in it.

Actually, the human wave tactics were far less common and successful
than many believe. The US and SK troops who were attacked at night
by the PRC troops THOUGHT they were being overwhelmed by superior
numbers.  Their infiltration and night fighting tactics were much more 
refined.
When the PRC did resort to human wave tactics it was after
their advance had been stopped in the Spring of 1951. They were
frustrated when they could not acheive the breakthroughs that
they had done in the Winter. The results were just heavy casualties.

What I meant was the US and PRC were dragged into wars which they
could neither afford to lose or win because they sent the wrong signals.
If the US had made it clear that they would fight if NK invaded then
the war might not have started. If the Chinese had made it clear that
they would fight then the US and SK forces might not have advanced
as far as they did.

It seems both sides underestimated each other more than once. Also the
superpowers underestimated Rhee and Kim's ability to create intractable
situations.

Paranoia is simply an optimistic outlook on life.  Or so they say, but
please spare me your "trade agreement" business, because I didn't
write "Bibimbab Blue" begging for your sympathy!  It brings me tears
in my eyes to find how a fellow human being could manage to call his
or her poor little classmate, who had broken the agreement out of
hunger no doubt, as "jerks" without giving a second thought as to how
morally offending such remarks could be, and I don't mean my dick is
bigger than yours, mind you, although you may see that I feel strongly
in ranks with their decision to transfer out of your so called
"Forbidden City" classroom, which, in fact, is filled with nothing but
tasteless bibelots of neo-bourgeois consumerism.
   By the way, you forgot your smashed smiley, and please excuse my

Reaching deep into my shallow experiences ...

I think what is important is your actions that follow.
If your intention was completely clear, she will just appreciate your
thoughtfulness. But if your subsequent actions/attitude toward her shows
any hint of desiring a renewed romantic relationship, you will confuse
the daylights out of her, if not lose whatever relationship you still have.

Once, I sent my ex a single longstem rose for no particular reason.
After a couple days, she came out and asked me what it was about.
Your ex might not worry about it too much, but a dozen roses?
There must have been at least some confusion in her mind.

	The reason I put a half smiley was this.  I'm applying to various
law schools.  And one school (which shall remain nameless) sent me a letter
saying that my GPA and LSAT score are good enough to qualify for their
minority scholarships.  And they sent me a booklet describing all the
minority scholarhips that are available.  But when I read through the
booklet, all the descriptions specify that the applicant be a black student.
I guess black = minority, Asian Americans != minority in their eyes.
