Subject:      teaching statistics to blind students

Hi -- My stepfather, Stan, is a sociology professor and has a blind
graduate student who is going to be taking his statistics course.
Since Stan relies heavily on graphs (of density functions and what
not) in teaching statistics, he's trying to figure out how to get
the same ideas across by other means for this student.  Anyone
out there have any relevant experience?

Thanks, Dave

There's another animal that screeches a carrier tone besides a PC. It's
a FAX machine.

That might be it; an old number now hooked up to a FAX line, which many
companies have, and I'd bet many companies have 800 faxes for their
branches, subsidiaries, franchises, etc......

Try going to your local copier (by copier I mean people who make photocopies,
etc. in bulk) or printer... a lot of them have FAX services, but it's expensive
(sometimes $2 per page).... but if you really want to get a hold of them,
you could try FAXing them a letter from the local copier...
(at the number you listed above, of course)

Hello.  I hope this is the right news group for this post, but if there is
a more appropriate news group, please point the way.

We have a problem with people dialing long distance on our phone.  Even
if we block the long distance calls, a person can use our phone and
charge it to a third party; when the third party refuses to pay, the
phone company sticks us with the bill anyways.  Apparently there is
no way for the phone company to block a third party call--as least that's
what they say.

A person called AT&T and there is a device (or is it system) that woul
block all calls beginning with a 1 or a 0 (this is the only way to
make a third party call).  The catch is that the device costs an amazing
$1500.  We don't have that kind of money and would like to know if
there is another place to get this device or is there any other
alternatives to this big problem (phone bill ranges $500-600 a month!)

Thanks in advance for any comments/suggestions!!!

 Yes I have gotten that far, the 800 number 848-1187.   The problem is it is
a modem and It's hard to talk unless you are able to logon.   I just got word

This has been my gripe for the last couple years. When an article
hits the telecom mailbox, it immediately bounces 2 pages
of text telling you how stringent the requirements are
for article acceptance. You can't have too much quoted
text, the article must be relevant and must not repeat
other articles, your .signature line will be trimmed...

So what? I saw an article the other day with the classic
use(less)net subject: "For <John Smith> only, please reply".
Gimmeafuckinbreak! It's a MODERATED newsgroup/list and
some idiot is using it to get through because his mail
bounced??!! Tough shit! Why was such a message ever
even considered in the first place?

I know of other messages which definitely contributed
to the ongoing discussion in a constructive way, yet
never appeared on telecom digest. Why?

Why not, at least we could read creative .signature

"Moderator's Notes".

Greetings.  And Help.

I am writing a utility that converts Microsoft Works spreadsheets
into text format.  Ie., the same format that Microsoft Works itself
writes when you save a spreadsheet in text format.

I am unable to decipher the storage format for integers.  From other
documentation I've read, it appears that all (or nearly all) spreadsheet
manufacturers have elected to store numbers as IEEE standard (8087)
Packed Decimal Numbers, 10 bytes to the cell, using the last byte to
indicate an exponent.

Can anyone describe an algorithm that converts the BCD data into 
displayable ASCII?  Or perhaps point me towards a reference?  Or am I
completely off the track regarding the storage method?

If you would email me directly at the address below, I'd sure appreciate
it, as my site does not receive this newsgroup as part of its daily
newsfeed.

Thanks, kindly, in advance for your help.

Since I started dealing with having been sexually abused (having been

have always had such a problem freezing up when it comes to
"performance-based" activities.  (Like learning new skills.)  I have
tried to become more conscious of my breathing patterns--I hold my
breath a lot--and I am a jaw clencher.  So I am trying to start from
there, but I would appreciate any experience/wise words about this

HAPPY NEW YEAR!???!!

I don't know about you, but I didn't enter the new year happy!

Some women are really able to destroy a man completly! I have been together with the same woman for two years, and I don't hope that I'll ever waste myself like that again!
It sure is my fault that I didn't walk out of our relationship a long time ago, but what can a man do, when he is madly in love?
Ohh, sorry - this is the first note I write, and I'd like to be sure that it's anonymous, before I go on!

I'll be back!

Freud
