It is at least theoretically possibly to literally blow up a monitor
by cranking up the refresh rate. I've heard that there have been
viruses designed to attempt this trick.

You seem to be not up on your Civil Rights history. Rosa Parks was a
NAACP member who had trained in nonviolent tactics at a special
`retreat' before she made her historic decision. She was fully
briefed on her legal position. Not surprisingly, she got that
briefing through attorneys. Your tarring the likes of Thurgood
Marshall, Morris Dees or William O. Douglas with the same brush you'd
use on ambulance chasers strikes me as a bit ridiculous, to say the
least.

I'm not discussing `responsibility for the law' -- whatever that may
actually mean. When you're sick, you take certain measures to regain
your health. That doesn't mean you second-guess your doctor. It
doesn't make you competent to diagnose your illness, either. When you
think you are, there's a good chance you'll die. When I was 17, I
came down with appendicitis. For six hours, my parents maintained it
was just a stomach ache before finally calling the family doctor. By
the time he got me to the hospital, I was in such bad shape they had
to run me straight into the operating room. I was lucky -- another
hour or two and I wouldn't be writing this message.
I don't have an argument with the notion of `the law is for everyone'
- -- even though it's naive in a certain sense; the law is certainly a
great deal more egalitarian now than it was 50, 100 or 200 years ago.
Like any complex human undertaking, there are those who are expert in
its workings. I can't imagine any circumstance in which I would
presume a knowledge of law great than that of an attorney, unless I
was acting under the advice of ... another attorney.
Frankly, I get irked at the assumption (made not just by you but by
many others as well) that attorneys are somehow `less moral' than the
rest of us merely by the fact of having been called to the bar. It's
ridiculous. And if you wanted to get into some kind of class-based
moral analysis, certainly businessmen are the most dishonest, anyway.

You copied it when you burned it onto your CD. However if the court cannot be
convinced that you copied it by the plaintiff, then you will not be convicted. The
law is not about theoretical arguements about definitions, but about applying then
to practical situations which people care enough about to bring to court. Nobody
cares about your example.

Hi,
I am using the Red Hat 5.2, which come with Netscape 4.07. Something wrong
after
I tried to install 4.51 version. When login as root,
it says that ulimit can not been found. The prompt goes
wierd and the Backspace does not show well in nxterm (it functions well
though.)
I used the command "./ns-install" to setup it up. Apparently,
it has not been integrated into Redhat, cause it still recognize
browser in /usr/bin/netscape, not the /usr/local/netscape/netscape, where I
installed.
Any idea? Thanks in advance,
Brandon

Subject: plotutils-2.2 released
Date: Wed, 24 Mar 1999 14:38:07 GMT
This is to announce the release of version 2.2 of the GNU plotting
utilities ("plotutils") package. This is a major release. It includes
release 2.0 of the underlying C/C++ library for exporting vector graphics,
GNU libplot.
The package can be installed on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, and Unix systems.
For more information on its features, see its Web page,
http://www.gnu.org/software/plotutils/plotutils.html .
New features in release 2.2 include:
1. The ability to export pseudo-GIF and PNM files. (Pseudo-GIF compression
uses run-length encoding instead of LZW encoding, so it does not
transgress the patents on LZW.) The rasterization of graphic objects
uses the powerful X11 scan conversion code.
The ability to produce pseudo-GIFs should be useful in CGI scripting.
In fact, GNU libplot can now create animated GIFs.
2. A new command-line utility, `pic2plot', which can translate files in the
pic language, which is used for laying out box-and-arrow diagrams of the
sort common in technical reports, to any supported output format.
It uses the same parser that gpic (GNU pic) uses.
3. A new C++ library, `libplotter', which provides a C++ binding to the
functionality of libplot. It isn't merely a wrapper around libplot, but
a full-fledged class library. It defines a `Plotter' class that is
subclassed as PSPlotter, GIFPlotter, etc.
4. An expanded API (application programming interface) for libplot. It now
supports user-specified dashing and the drawing of quadratic and cubic
Bezier curves. Libplot's imaging model is now much closer to
Postscript's.
The source code for the package is available as a gzipped tar file,
2.8 megabytes in size. It's available on the main GNU ftp site,
as ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/plotutils/plotutils-2.2.tar.gz , and at many
GNU mirrors (see the list below; please try the mirrors first).
For the benefit of people using Red Hat or similar versions of GNU/Linux on
Intel systems, I've created a pair of unofficial RPM's for the package.
They're at:
ftp://platinum.math.arizona.edu/pub/plotutils-2.2-1.i386.rpm
ftp://platinum.math.arizona.edu/pub/plotutils-2.2-1.src.rpm
Enjoy the new features. Bug reports are always welcome; please send
them to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Suggestions for enhancements are welcome
as well.
Regards,
Robert
