Stubborn Arrogrant Idiot Scott, let me tell you why you deserve these titles.

Everytime you made mistake, you always refuse to admit it without exception.
Again this time you repeated. Aren't you stubborn? (Say, "No. I am not." :-))

You know nothing about math and computer graphics yet you insist CG is math.
Typical arrogrant-ignorant complex. Let me tell you I was a Master student in
math and an expert in computer graphics. So shut up before you check out Foley
van Dam's "Fundamentals of Interactive Computer Graphics" and a math handbook
to find what Gouraud Shading is.

You are an idiot, of course. We have enough your SCC show-offs to prove it.

  What's wrong for some people try to stay at some certain place of this
space ship ? What ever reason it appear is, the essential reason is that
China (in some extend, Asia) is too much over populated and the rest of 
this planet has the responsibility to share this burden. Furthermore, those
burden of China/Asia may become treasure for other parts of this world.

  What I see is some people scare to dead as seeing more and more people
had got their green cards because they themself lose more and more

My advice is:
  Do not try to get any welfare in this country! Your friend will feel guilty, or you will
 see a lot of hostile attitude from Americans if you did. Your friend got a PHd. he/she must
be an abled person, if can find a job matching his profession, go to New York. there are
many Chinese resturants there, your friend will almost certainly find a job as waiter/waintress. He/she will get payed like $1000-1500(cash) per month. It is much better than on welfare.

  Seems that a Pinoy painter by the name of Manuel Ocampo got mentioned,
 favorably, by Robert Hughes in the new issue of Time. Isn't this (at least)
 the second time  that Ocampo (or his painting) has appeared in the magazine?
 The first      was in Time's 11/18/91 issue, where he was described as a
  "young old master." The guy's just 26, and seems that he immigrated to the
  US only a little more than 10 years ago(?) In the 11/18/91 issue there was a
photo of Ocampo standing in front of one of his paintings. The new issue
 of Time has another tiny photo of his painting. His themes though seem
 controversial,making one curiouswhat some of his kababayans in LA think of
 his art...

4/14/92 Manila Stks Close Higher -2-: Up Despite Electrical
Brownouts


  MANILA -DJ- Manila shares rose, helped by the
accumulation of selected blue-chip issues of the commercial
and industrial sector. 
  The Manila composite index of 27 leading industrial
issues advanced 13.15 points, or 1.16 pc, to 1,149.24,
following yesterday's 1-point increase. 
  The commercial and industrial sector registered the day's
best gains, with the subindex expanding 21.43 to 1,686.08. 
The mining subindex fell 2.85 to 2,177.41, while the oil
subindex shed 0.027 to 8.734. 
  Maria Lourdes Sison, vice president of Sun Hung Kai
Securities (Phils.) Inc., said she was surprised by the way
the market reacted despite the critical electrical power
situation.  Metro Manila has been hit by increasingly
lengthy brownouts in recent days. 
  She added, however, that the rise in the market wasn't
impressive because it occured in thin volume. 
  Participants, currently numbering mostly local investors,
are positioning this early in anticipation of a rally by
the time the May 11 national elections come, she said. 
  Moreover, investors are awaiting the first quarter
earnings of certain companies. 
  She said the market was essentially led by two blue-chip
issues: San Miguel Corp. (SMC) and Ayala Corp. 
  Looking ahead, Sison said she expects the market to close
higher tomorrow as investors take up further position on
selected issues.

Organization: U Texas Dept of Computer Sciences, Austin TX
NNTP-Posting-Host: nada.cs.utexas.edu

I think in some of the previous postings on this subject, brain-drain was
blown way out of proportion in how much it contributes to the underdevelopment
of Philippines.  I will cite two points to support this claim.

   1.  Just look at Taiwan.  I think their "brain-drain" problem is no less
       severe than what we have in Philippines.  (In fact, I think their's 
       is more severe.  Remember - they have about 1/3 the population of 
       Philippines.)  Despite of this, they accomplished stunning economic
       achievements.  So much for the "Brain-drain" = "Underdevelopment"
       Theory.

   2.  Let's try to do a mind experiment here.  If ALL Filipino professionals
       living abroad were to go back to Philippines THIS VERY MOMENT, and
       we stop all "brain-drain" from occuring (nobody can emigrate), will
       the economy improve significantly in 5 or 10 years?  I contend it will
       not.  Not unless some other fundamental changes were made - like
       elimination/reduction of graft and corruption, establishment of 
       sound economic and energy policy, improvement of educational system,
       etc, etc.  On the other hand, if these changes were made, the
       economy would have improved significantly, regardless of whether
       we have brain drain or not.

I believe that the crux of our economic problem is not brain-drain.  Though
brain-drain is a contributing factor to our underdevelopment, it is a 
relatively minor one.  If we were to make a list of contributing factors
to our underdevelopment, I don't think brain-drain will be anywhere near the 
top of the list.  (It would be interesting is somebody will draw up such a 
list.)

Just my 2 centavos.

I agree with you, fellow Illini, that, no matter how offensive speech may be,
the First Amendment covers such trash. 

What is unclear, by your argument, is whether the use of a privilege such as a
computer account as a means of offensive speech is protected speech. The way I
see it, the Computer Center give email accounts to those eligible by their rules.
By agreeing to use such account, the user also must abide by the rules of fair play.
If the user violates those rules, the Comp Center takes the account from you. If
I were to abuse my computer privileges, Motorola would take them away from me. The
use of computer mail is, after all, a privilege given by the sys admins.

Also, I have a hard time dealing with why even such people have the tendency
to spew that type of hate mail in the first place. Lucky for them that the UIC
accounts shield them from punishment of the social kind. You know, not of pen and
paper, but of knives and baseball bats.

Maybe it's in rage that we come up with extreme punishments that appear to tread
on other people's rights. I hope that the acts by these "gangbangers" do not
sidetrack this open dialog. 

Besides, there are better things to talk about. Maybe I'll throw a few of my own.
Some other time, though.
