Where (specifically) did you get non-oxygenated gas in DC?  I just
filled up there yesterday and it was certainlly oxygenated.  DC is one
of the smoggier areas on the east coast and is subject to the new EPA
regulations.

A very small nit...

Cellular phones do not LEAK power.  They are specifically designed to
OUTPUT a maximum of .6 watts of radiated power at their designated
frequency.

Bag phones and permanent mounts are allowed to radiate up to a maximum
of 3 watts of power.

Why the difference?  Well, to save battery power of the portables
for one thing, but more importantly to keep you from frying your
brains!  The non-portable antennas are rarely held right up next
to your ear while transmitting.

And yes, there *are* a few portable models available that allow you
to switch from low to high output, for fringe area transmission.
Battery life for these phones at 3W is very short and it is selectable
and they also are shipped with big FAT disclaimers for the innocent.

A friend of mine suggested a possible reason for this.  Many cars and 
trucks nowadays have electronic fuel injection and have sensors monitoring 
the exhaust gases.  One of these may be an oxygen sensor.

If oxygenated gas changes the amount of oxygen in the exhaust, then the 
sensor reads it and the computer controlling the fuel injection system may 
not work properly resulting in a decrease in mileage.......

  Yeah, anyone care to comment on the possibility of handheld cellular
phones causing cancer?  I've heard this before, and then watched Larry
King Live last night where a man was filing a lawsuit claiming the tumour
in his wife's head was caused by (the antenna of) her cellular phone.
He claimed the phones leak .6 watt of electrical power, and wanted a

Subject: need help with UNIX/SPARC/ptrace() single stepping...
Organization: University of NC at Charlotte
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1993 21:10:44 GMT



I am having GREAT difficulty finding information related to a academic project
that I am working on...can anyone help me???

THE SYSTEM:
   Sun SPARCstation 2
   SunOS 4.1.3  (very similar to UNIX)

THE PROJECT:
   I am writing a program that will record its child process' references to 
memory addresses: i.e. every time the child process executes a load or store 
machine instruction, the parent needs to write the address referenced and its 
contents to a file.  Its purpose is to profile and evaluate the efficiency of 
a process by examining its load and store instructions.

SOME QUESTIONS:
- How does one (or can one...) implement single step debugging in C with 
  ptrace(), wait(), signal(), exec(), etc... under SunOS/UNIX?

- Where can I find information about the SPARC processor, particularly info.
  on encoding and decoding instructions? (yes, I've read the man pages and the
  answer book, and contacted Sun...but not enough info!)

- Where can I find a comprehensive tutorial on SPARC assembly language?

PLEASE HELP
   I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can offer...please send 
email to the address below.  I particularly need info. on where I can get
books and sample code.


Thanks-

In the interest of conserving bytes, my vote is for the latter proposal. 

By the way, I just relocated to the area, and might be interested in getting
involved with the Freenet project.  Who should I contact for some general
information on the project?

More on electronic discussion groups.

First, I didn't put anyone on the new lists (TF-TECH and TF-OPS) so those
of you who have already been active in these groups, need to subscribe
yourselves.

Hardly anyone has signed up yet. Any problems?

There have been requests to do automatic forwarding from rtpfreenet to the
news group triangle.freenet and vice versa. There have also been requests
to automatically forward messages from ALL the discussion groups to
triangle.freenet. 

It seems to me that we want to post to rtpfreenet, ALL meeting
announcements, minutes of all meetings, and general information, and that
we want to encourage lots of discussion about details on the tf-tech,
tf-ops, tf-data, tf-fund, and tf-pub lists. It makes sense to me to
automatically forward ALL the postings to triangle.freenet. In which case
we would NOT want to forward from triangle.freenet to rtpfreenet. 

What do you think?

I agree 100% with John.  All posts to rtpfreenet and triangle.freenet
should be gatewayed both ways, so that posting to one will get it
automatically posted on the other.  Even more importantly, I think
it would be a crying shame to gateway the tf-* discussion lists to
triangle.freenet.  There is a palpable difference between the type
of discussion you can get from a small group of activists working
amongst themselves or in full public view.  We'll get a lot more
done without the various discussion participants having to worry about
what they're saying in a wide-area public forum.  Let triangle.freenet
(and rtpfreenet) be for public announcements, and let the tf-*
discussion lists be open to all sorts of creative musings.  After
all, anyone who wants to can sign up for those lists, too.

My $0.03 (after taxes).

I think everyone who can see these postings has access to triangle.freenet,
but isn't neccessarily interested in subscribing to all/any mailing lists.
(i.e. Potential high traffic mailing lists can clutter people's mailers
possibly interfering with or overwhelming work related mail.)  Therefore,
it would make more sense, IMHO, to forward all discussion groups mail to
triangle.freenet, but do not bother forwarding anything in triangle.freenet
to the mailing lists.  People can then limit/concentrate their intake of
'Triangle Freenet' info via specific mailing list(s) and can occasionally
check triangle.freenet for other tidbits they might be missing.

I disagree.  I agree that all postings from rtpfreenet should go to
triangle.freenet, but I also think that everything on triangle.freenet
should go to rtpfreenet.  Otherwise the people on the mailing list will
still have to keep up with the newsgroup, and people who prefer the
newsgroup will not be heard by the mailing list-only people.  The whole
point of this should be that they are the same thing, so anyone can
choose which format they want to use without missing any info. 

But the tf-* lists need not be gated to triangle.freenet.
