They are too light caliber for hunting things like deer or elk, and they're not as accurate as, say, a .30-06 or a similar rifle you'd more normally think of as a hunting rifle. They are, on the other hand, very good for assaulting people (fancy that--could be because that's what they're designed for). They're faster than anyone needs a hunting rifle to be, and the extended clip is a telling feature--you don't need 30-round clips when you're hunting deer because if you miss with the first couple of shots it's gonna be a while before you're in range again. I don't really think the citizens of this country are going to find themselves trapped in an opressive totalitarian regime just because they can't buy assault rifles, arguments about "it's a HUNTING rifle, honest!" notwithstanding.

There was one huge difference between the movies: Life of Brian did NOT claim that Brian was Jesus. In fact, Jesus showed up twice within Life of Brian. Life of Brian was parodying the Church; not Christianity. And a really funny parody, too! /Dragonfly/ =========== From: DRAGONFLY To: TURTLE Subject: censorship Date & Time: 12/03/90 17:10:41 Message Number 10757 The original message made no reference whatsoever to 2 Live Crew. In fact, the message implied artists OTHER than 2 Live Crew. Well, heck. Here's the message repeated. P> Last week @ USF there was supposed to be a debate on censorship. , P> It turned out to be someone telling me that the reason that he P> and other artists are censored is due to the color of their skin. P> Maybe he doesn't realize Maplethorpe is a honky. When Pablo talked about 'artists,' I wasn't thinking about performing artists. Considering the ONLY artist mentioned was not a member of 2 Live Crew, I was thinking about exhibiting artists. Anyway, again I re-iterate my position: One of the things I LOVE about BBS's is that there can be no racism or sexism. /Dragonfly/ =========== From: DRAGONFLY To: THUMPER 1 Subject: Sources.

(Is that enough? I can give it more if I must.) What software are you using? If you're not going Fido and you're not using a really pathetic excuse for a BBS package (Opus, say), 30 megs will be more than you could ever use. This system's message base is on one 720K floppy disk, amnd has room for over a thousand messages. =========== From: TURTLE To: THUMPER 1 Subject: BBS Date & Time: 12/03/90 17:47:27 Message Number 10763 The following software packages for MS-DOS are free or very cheap ShareWare: Opus (free), RemoteAccess (shareware, I think the registration fee is $35), QuickBBS (shareware), Wildcat (shareware, but the "evaluation" version is better than the registered version, and faster too), TP-Board. All except TP-Board and Wildcat are FIDO- capable. OPus is one you ought to stay away from unless you like your message base ALONE taking up 20-30 meg of storage space. QuickBBS is very flexible, but very difficult to set up; if you aren't a programmer you're likely to have a rough time getting it installed. RemoteAccess is a good, reliable, easy-to-install system, bt one without a lot of features. Wildcat sucks eggs. Other systems you might look into: BBSX (I don't know if this one is commercial or not; it doesn't do FIDO but it's fast and weird as hell, which are two things in its favor), TBBS (one of the best packages on earth, but commercial and pretty damn expensive to boot). =========== From: TURTLE To: BURNEY Subject: nosedive!

While we're on the subject (kinda), I just read an article in an industry magazine about a new sound system for 35mm movie film called Cinema Digital Sound. Six tracks of CD-quality digital sound and one "control" track that automatically controls the sound system, projector, and the like...it's actually in production now and being released to theatres equipped to handle it.

Wrong on both counts. You need to spend more time on the CandyNet Debate Echo. One of the reasons Cheryl Mathison used to use the handle "Dr. Mabuse" is that when she posted under the name "Cheryl" people would come out of the woodwork with derogatory remarks about the fairer sex, or passes, or both. A /lot/ of females who BBS use either false names or gender-neutral handles, and I've even talked to a couple of users on this board (who I shan't name) who claim that BBSing under a female name is an invitation to harrassment and unwanted attention by sysops and users alike. Racism is more difficult, sure, but try calling a bunch of boards with the name "Willis Alfonso" sometime and tell me if you don't get any reaction at all based on your apparant race. People can be just as prejudiced and just as ignorant over a phone line as they can in person. =========== From: THUMPER 1 To: DRAGONFLY Subject: Hemp?

Which if you remember is a hell of a lot better that what used to be in movie houses when we were younger. Remember? Some of the useres on this board were born into the age of high quality sound. And to get off the subject a little bit, I went to a Kodak semoinar the other day. It gave a demo of silver halide photo transfer onto compact disc. Yes thats right, compact disc. This system will bemarketed in 1992 for a mere 100,000.00 Targeted for the retail finisher, it allows a trained technician to TOTALLY manipulate a photo. The info is read into a (Yuk) Apple computer. Then the tec. can chang e every aspect of the photo. Change eye color, duplicate subject matter, remove people or other subjects, erase and then duplicate patterns to cover the area erased, you can paint with any color from within a color library or from a color on the photo. All this and a lot more. After completing the adjusted image, you can resave it to disc or get a thermal print. If you want to view the disc, it can be viewed on a TV or monitor via a CDplayer which can plya these special discs or audio CD's. About 100 low resolution images can fit on a disc or 30-40 high res. images. The lower quantity is due to the great deal of added information. The projected price of a disc will be around $20.00. About the same as your better photo labs. What really fascinated me was about (get this) 30 meg could fit on one side of one disc. (Same size as a standard audio CD).
