Urghh! I had this problem, but only once. I learned *not* to shave
the backs of my thighs where I sit. I found that lots of talcum powder
helps some. My advice is "don't do it again" :-)

Being new to bras, at least on my body, I wonder about the differences between
the types of bras and the effect that each is designed to achieve (I can imagine
an aspiring Civil Engineer whose goal it is to design bras).  I know there are
padded and unpadded, but how much of a cup size increase is available?  My 
results from the "tale of the tape" indicate that I am either a 36 or 38.  As
much as I would like them to be better developed, they are only an A or AA, I
have to check the chart to be sure.  The main problem with the breasts that
I do have is they are formed as "male pec's" not female breasts.

The other "feature" that I am not sure of is underwire bras.  Is this only
for added support if you have large breasts or does it have a "push-up"
effect to get the maximum breast tissue up and out front.  Of course, there
is then the issue of color, lace, and material.

I'm sure that I am forgetting a number of other "features" considering the
number of them on display in the stores.

...I'd like the pink lace 38B padded bra, please...

alan@ninja.osf.org (Alan Hamilton) gives a long glossary...

I must admit, I hate this sort of thing.  Any attempt at this type of
glossary usually ends up obfuscating instead of clarifying.  Take the
entry for "woman, womyn" which defines a woman as either a female
human or a human who thinks of him/herself as female.  Well, I'm
sorry, but that's just not how it is.  We will eventually render all
the words in English meaningless if we keep this up.

Please, let's forget it!  Who cares what something/someone is called?
Just because I like to wear dresses doesn't mean I'm politically correct :-)
I can't stand this "womyn" business. :-)

Interesting method of coming to that realization!

Does that mean that you realized the clothing utopia would satisfy
some of your needs, but not all of them?  I.e., you had MORE needs
than you realized.

Or does that mean that you realized the clothing utopia would not
satisfy you at all, even though you initially thought it would?  I.e.,
you had DIFFERENT needs than you realized.


In a slightly different vein, I've observed I have a divided mind
over the clothing utopia: on the one hand, it's really annoying that
people feel such pressure to conform, so it would be nice if society
would quit hassling people over their choice of appearance.

But on the other hand, for me at least, a significant part of the
enjoyment of public CDing is the fact that it is nonstandard.  In
the clothing utopia, I'd continue doing occasional punk/slut/SM drag
but I would miss the feeling that it was weird and unusual.

Hi,

In the Berkeley distribution of mpeg_play, there is a field in the
video stream structure called show_time. Apparently, that field is 
never used. So is there any real time consideration at all in mpeg_play
to ensure a smooth display of the frames, namely that a frame is shown
only when its supposed show time is reached? Or is it assumed that 
the workstation is never fast enough to display a frame too early so
the goal is to get a frame displayed as early as possible?

ANy insight is appreciated . Email to yau@cs.utexas.edu is preferred.
Thanks in advance,

David

I think I'm probably qualified to answer this one.  The mpeg_play
program was never really intended to serve as a full function mpeg
player. To wit (from the README file):

    The decoder is implemented as a library that will take a video
    stream and display it in an X window on an 8, 24 or 32 bit
    deep display.  The main routine is supplied to demonstrate the
    use of the decoder library.

In other words, the mpeg library is meant to be used as part of a system
that handles synchronization with other media.  Such a system exists as
an unreleased prototype (the "player") we're building at Berkeley (we'll
be releasing the system sometime in the future).  A paper briefly
describing the system is available from toe.cs.berkeley.edu
(128.32.149.117) in /pub/multimedia/papers/CMPlayer.ps.Z. The paper
was presented at the "3rd Intl Workshop on Network and OS Support
for Digital Audio and Video", San Diego, CA, Nov 92.

The main routine supplied with the distribution, mpeg_play, displays
the pictures as quickly as possible.  Think of it as a simple demo
program (we felt kinda bad about releasing the library without at
least one sample program :-). 

So, the answer to you questions is this: the "show_time" field is
prototypical -- it is neither meaningfully set nor used in the
mpeg_play program, but something like it will be used in the player.

It shouldn't be too hard to modify mpeg_play so it slows down between
frames.  I'd do it by modifying mpegVidRsrc() to return NULL when it gets
around to actually displaying the picture (ie., put a "return NULL" just
after the DoPictureDisplay call in mpegVidRsrc).  Then, in the main()
routine, when mpegVidRsrc() returns NULL, put the process to sleep
(e.g., with a select()) until it's time to display the next frame.  Simple
enough, but it would be a duplication of effort since we're building that
functionality into the player.

I hope this seems at least vaguely intelligible.

Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1993 18:18:50 GMT
Organization: Hogeschool van Amsterdam, The Netherlands, E.E. & C.S. Dept.

I'm starting to investigate the possibilities about compressing.
I'm working on a project in which images have to be compressed in
order to transfer it via modem or other medium. There are some
compressing methods available, LZW, run length, huffman etc.
My question is this which one is best for compressing images or
is there anything better.
There is one condition: the compression time has to be (sort of)
equal to the decompression time.

Please send some information about these methods.

Thanks in advance,

The important thing to do now, I would think, is not to argue over the
technicalities of unplugging computers/accessing data/whatever, but to
take up this matter in an active manner with the powers that be so that we
won't be forced to download data covertly like this. Berkeley is supposed to
be a first rate institution, and yet there are a lot of "second rate" schools,
both public and private, that allow people to access schedule of classes over
the modem much more easily. I'm sure some even let you sign up for courses 
that way. I hope the university gets wise. Telebears doesn't work, that's
for sure!

This plausible argument from Wes loses some of its force when you
consider that the *primary* way in which UCB makes the schedule of
classes available to students is a printed booklet, prepared during
the previous semester.  Only last semester, for the first time, did
the university make any sort of timely update available to students.

So I have to repeat what I said to Carl (arguing the other side) earlier.
Both sides are making too much of this.

The university should have been congratulated, albeit perhaps with a touch
of irony, for finally joining the 20th century (just in time!) and getting
the schedule online.  The fact that they wanted a one-semester limited trial
before jumping all the way in shouldn't have been such a big deal.

Eric began the making-too-much by interpreting the university's timidity
as a repressive measure.  Then the university continued with the
making-too-much by pretending that unplugging a cable was a threat to its
hardware, instead of just taking Eric aside and telling him to grow up and
stop grandstanding.  Now Carl and Wes are debating the situation as though,
on the one hand, the university were actually restricting access to
information, and, on the other hand, as though any actual harm had been
done to anyone by publishing a slightly-less-outdated version of the
university's printed schedule.

By the way, for several years some private entrepreneur has been selling
Macintosh diskettes containing a copy of the printed schedule of classes.
The university hasn't done anything to prevent this; I don't know whether
it has the university's blessing.  Does this change anyone's opinion about
the meaning of this incident?

In a passing remark, Carl Kadie said:

"The Supreme Court recently affirmed that noncreative collections of
facts (e.g. the white pages of the phone book) are not copyrightable."

Does this mean that Compuserve's assertion of a "compilation copyright" on
the messages in its forums is now invalid, or does that still stand on
other grounds than "collection of facts"?

Note that I'm asking what is, not what should be, so no flames, attacks on
Compuserve, or political statements, please.

Yes, "TelnetBears" has been an idea I've been kicking around a while.
My idea would be to have a dedicated TelnetBear server that students
can connect to with a TelnetBear client program (so as to keep the
net connection and load on the server as low as possible). A text menu
makes things sooooo much faster for users, as opposed to the voice
TeleBears in which you must sit and wait for the voice to tells you
what's on the menu.

Of course, TeleBears should still be around for those without net
access. TeleBears and TelnetBears would work together. TelnetBears
would allow me (and other people with accounts) to select my classes
from my account instead of from an *extremely* busy phone line.


Despite Berkeley's prominent stature in the field of computer science,
the campus itself has done too little to make use of any progress in
technology. The school is run by computer illiterate technophobes.
It saddens me to see these people use their adminstrative power to
keep this school technologically backwards and refuse to hear of any
suggestion from students to improve. I fully support Eric's actions.

Someone made a bad mistake, crossposting an article between a couple of
