	Well, it seems to be fine with email so far;

	However, things are getting pretty nasty with
	USENET news; all ESC, SI, SO are being stripped

	since (r)n & Pnews inherits the tty and the shell

	creats file and send it to nntp server via inew or queue into

I've heard that ABET is an institution in US which evaluate programs
offered at universities. Even though it would be a partial measure
I think we'll have a chance to see how competitive a Korean
engineering school is(compared to US schools). 

I wonder why people on the newsgroup get too much sensitive
occationally. IMHO, it could be one of the reason that there are not
much postings from Korea. I'm not very good at expressing ideas in
English, and I don't want to make debates from language handicap
either.

Hi, netters.
I am currently looking for an employment opportunity in Korea. Yea, I do
know that the best way is just go over there and talk to people in charge,
but I am too wimpy to just quit my current job and be unemployed. 
Does anybody out there know e-mail address of Samsung Research center?
It would be great if I could get the name of peson whom I should talk to.

Thank you much in advance.


P.s. don't be fooled by the hispanic name of the poster. I am 100% Korean.
P.p.s. I happened to have received a US citizenship a year ago, and I am
       not sure if a foreigner(technically) can work over  there. Any

It is generally usual for a dorm room to have odor even you bathe three
times a day. You are welcome to make comments that those particular ones
are sloppy. But, have you follow the first post I made a couple of weeks
ago? 

If you don't behave like other South Koreans who were irked on my posts
and made judgment based on their nationalistic mentality, then you are
not one of them.

 You are confusing present KAIST with past KAIST. Currently KAIST has
undergrad part which used to be KIT(Korea Institute of Technology).
And the original poster,Uhhyung Choi, is an undergrad student in KAIST
(junior or senoir?).

     Was this English?  I do not know the derivation.

     It is from German, I guess.

>stain 'gu-rut'  stainless container

     People in Korea used to call any kind of stainless containers and
     stainless kitchen appliances "stain".  But, this is rapidly changing 
     back since it has the opposite meaning in English.
