Microsoft's new push into network computing starts with Windows for Workgroups. 
January's NETSIG meeting will feature Rick Segal, Microsoft's expert on 
Windows for Workgroups.  Windows for Workgroups could prove to be the most 
significant networking product produced by Microsoft in 1992 and presents some 
exciting opportunities for independent software developers.  

Rick is coming in from Redmond to give us the information we need to develop 
groupware, client/server and other network-aware applications.  Specifically, 
Rick will describe what Windows for Workgroups provides that the "vanilla" 
Windows 3.1 doesn't, the protocols it supports, API's it provides, and network 
services available from Microsoft and others using Windows for Workgroups.  

Admission is free for SEF members; $7.00 for non-members.  For more

RESEARCH SEMINAR:	Thursday, February 18, 1993, 10:30 - 11:30 AM
			Room 330, Applied Sciences Building

			
Charles Poynton, Sun Microsystems, Mountain View, California, will speak
on "Giving Numbers to Colors, or, Why is Sky Blue=235, Red=135,
Green=206?"

Abstract:

Light interacts with objects according to the laws of physics and
chemistry.  However, colors are perceived by the eye and the brain. To
compute realistic representations of real or imagined colored objects
requires an understanding of the linkage between physics and perception.
In this talk, I will explain and demonstrate the subtle and delicate
mapping from spectral distributions to the sensation of color. An
understanding of this interaction is necessary to make effective use of
color in computing, whether for the numerical description of colors
(such as paint), or the coding of color images.

These two domains -- physics and perception -- are commonly confused in
computing. Synthetic computer graphics calculations usually approximate
the physical mixing of light using just three samples of visible light
wavelengths. But these samples do not necessarily have a direct
correspondence with the three channels of human color vision.

Computer graphics calculations are usually performed using linear light
values. The nonlinear nature of perception has been exploited for many
years in photography, printing and television. I will discuss how
computing can learn from these disciplines to achieve better picture
quality.

Different display systems have different interpretations of colors. For
example, the triplet [0, 0, 255] may produce two different colors --
both loosely described as blue -- on two different monitors. The RGB triplet
[135, 206, 235] may describe Sky Blue on a particular display system.
But without specification of the color characteristics of the display system
this information is not particularly useful, because the triplet cannot
be assumed to generate sky blue on a display different from the one that
originated the data. To have two systems display the same blue -- to get
the systems to match color accurately -- requires software that
transforms colors in accordance with human perception. I will outline the
transformations necessary to accomplish this sort of color matching, and
will explain how emerging "color management system" technology is likely
to bring these capabilities to computer users within the next few years.

  Hey guys,
  
  It doesn't appear that any of you are going to give up until you get a 
  rise out of me. Give up. I became immune to your useless and stupid flames
  last year. Every time you flame me, I love it. It just continues to show
  your "I'm better than everyone because I got smarts" attitude. It's real
  cute to your buds, I'm sure. "Did you see how I humiliated him?" "Yeah, 
  you sure do be a smart one, bub. I wish I could do that, so I could be
  as smart as you be. duh"
  
  Get over it folks. It can't be done.

YES!  exactly what you should do in that situation.  Would it be the

Very true.  You and I clearly disagree about whether a potential host
should take responsibility for the actions of net.misfits
Moderately well-adjusted people will _leave_ in the situation you described,
as you and I would. 

Sociopaths are a risk _whenever_ the door is open.  I prefer not to dwell
on the potential.

I *do* know of physical altercation occurring at a boink that was not at
a public place, but a private home, so I *am* aware of the possibility.
I just believe it's remote enough that a newbie need not be scared off
nor have to hire bouncers for a simple gather-to-say-hi-and-sample-the-brew.

Life's a risk - no guts, no glory.
