 How is the word "Geat" pronounced? I'm referring to the nationality of
good old Beowulf, from southern Sweden. I've seen it written phonetically
several ways, and have heard it pronounced several ways.  What do Words-Lers
say is the proper pronunciation?

Greetings,

Damn, Tony.  And I always thought Canada was a free country.  First you
guys control gun ownership; next, your government will want to socialize
medicine!  If you can slip across the border, you might be able to get
sanctuary in some liberal US church.  Or maybe you can just wait until
all aspects of the NAFTA are in place.  I'm sure the NRA and its corporate
supporters will start lobbying for a change in these lily-livered
gun control laws.  Heck, if the rest of the faculty had guns, maybe they
could have prevented this whole thing, right?

We're still in the dark ages -- registration is still done with IBM
bubbleforms.  Don't ask me why?  We're tied to UMass/Amherst in lots
of administrative stuff and I wonder if this is another example.

For heaven's sakes, one of my favorite final projects for first semester
programming students is a mini-class-registration system -- and if these
students can do it, the real thing can't be that hard.

Don't ask me to explain why we're still in the dark ages for registration.
As ggs would say, "It is not for me to say".

Well, after reading Judith's and Anne's replies to this topic, I got to
thinking that I might show them to Heidi.  Then my better sense took over.
Derisive laughter does not become her very well, so I give her few
opportunities to practice it.  Besides, after the laughing was over, she'd say
something like, "Oh, I'm really sorry.  I thought they were talking about you."

Therefore, I shall cherish these notes all to myself.  Thank you.

It's the RobyMeister checking in from his time-warp.  I've pretty much
given up and will have to survive never seeing alot of what has passed
recently.   I browsed a little though, and here's some random stuff.

I read Russian, but not too well.  Actually I haven't tried recently,
but I could probably get through technical stuff where many of the
words are cognates.  I'm not up to The Brothers K.

I also read French, but now that I've found most of Bourbaki
translated into English, I read French less than I used to.  Lots of
Geometry and Number Theory was done in French though.

I've also been known to read technical stuff in Italian, German and
Polish, languages that I never studied at all.  That's mostly fakery
though.  I really just look at the pictures, er ... formulas.  I cited
a German article in my thesis, but was only capable of reading a
French abstract completely.  That was enough to know how it related to
my work.

Algebraic varieties are very nice for breakfast.

The beauty of Pascal's Triangle

                        1
                     1     1
                  1     2     1
               1     3     3     1
           1      4     6     4     1
       etc.

is its graphic display of the recursive definition of the binomial
coefficients.  Each number is the sum of the two diagonally above it
in the picture.  It's much easier to remember than the formula
defining them non-recursively:

            n!
	---------
	 k!(n-k)!

(n = row number in picture, k = count in from left starting at zero).


I haven't got my new toy running Unix yet (haven't had time for that
either), but will sometime soon put up one of the free Unixes, and
will be running mail on it (probably UUCP connection).  I'm not going
to have a nodename contest after all though.  I've decided that in
honor of my permanent time-warp, it has to be named
Tardis.ext.tufts.edu (the ext.tufts.edu is forced upon me by the local
sys.nazi, namely myself).

I'm not sure if I'm up to changing my subscription so words-l mail
goes there.  Phone bills might be prohibitive.
