I was sitting with my grandmother, whose irritation with having _As The

for making noise during ATWT and I have a vague memory of being secretly
glad that someone else had messed her show up for a change. 4 years old.

The real enormousness of the citation now dawns on me. This dictionary
is evidently compiled by the same Portuguese gentleman who wrote "English
as she is spoke". Discard it immediately and buy a dictionary. THEN look
up the words. Yes, again, Harwell. I have a hunch it will surprise you.

Jim's last comment is the significant one.  Doubling the ram can often
speed up a program by *much much much* mre than a factor of two; doubling
the processor speed can give a factor of two at best.

Why?  Because in a large memory system operations which were, say NlogN or
N^2 time for data of size N suddenly become k1N1logN1 + k2N2logN2 where
k1 and k2 now refer to disk speed and ram speed rather than just disk
speed.  (Or a different distribution of N1/N2 to be more accurate)

The complexity is the same, but the constants are vastly smaller because
ram is so much faster than disk.  That's why my pizzabox is a poxy
20Mhz 386/sx but runs very nicely thankyou because it has 16Mb of fast ram.

(btw, in a dos context - try installing a large disc cache...)

Now here's an interesting thing...

JAG> whatever happened to good old 'apostate'?

I once had a dream where I was talking to a friend of mine about
computer stuff, and in the dream I said something (can't remember
now exactly what - along the lines of using IBM-sex words when
I'm a renouned DEC-sex person perhaps) to which he replied 'good grief
- that must be apostasy for you'.

Well, this was still clearly in my mind when I woke up (presumably
shortly afterwards), and i actually wrote it down because "he'd" used
a word that *I* didn't know the meaning of!  I looked it up in
my dictionary, and the meaning (a religious conversion) fitted
the context *exactly*.

What our subconsciouses hold is *scary*.  A lesser man than me
would have put it down to telepathy or some such.  (Just to be
sure, I phoned my friend and asked him if he knew what it meant.
He didn't :-) )

In trying to be flippant I caused misinterpretation of the term "jack
mormon"...a jack mormon is not someone who is "less" mormon, rather,
he/she/it is a mormon who "fudges" around the "rules"--like drinking
caffeinated beverages, not going on mission, not going to temple to be

Yeah, and I'm decidedly with you on this one.  With so much mail

struggle to find the beginning of the response, so I move on
quickly.  I'm sure I miss an occasional gem, but that's life.  I
never really understood Dan's spirited defense of the practice last

Yes, he's not undersized at all.

I notice with some satisfaction that Virupaksha and "Any usenet reader"
are not mentioned this time. Things will improve even further, I venture
to say.

I have been prevented this weekend from communicating with the list.
I assume this is because of the ATT problems that Natalie and Ken have
discussed.  Does it make any difference if I address mail to uga.bitnet
or to uga.cc.uga.edu?  I will soon know I guess.      --brad

Subject:      Fall Poem

Good Morning all  ... a short poem for a Fall Friday the 13th...

"The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year.  Of wailing winds, and
   naked woods, and meadows brown are sere.
 Heaped in the hollows of the grove, the autumn leaves lie dead;
 They rustle to the eddying gust, and to the rabbit's tread."
          William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878)

                            Peace,
                                  Don
