Maurice Re: "glimmerings" Maybe that is what it is, or maybe it is just the result of the efforts of the large numbers of brainy programmers that GOOG claims to employ, sitting there with great piles of books of all sorts and every single edition of Britannica and many other similar works available for reference. <g> That Belgian industrial estate is what I would have enjoyed. You know though, most of that automation you were observing there was likely relay logic, scads of gold-flashed and silver contacts rather than anything based on silicon. For sure back in 1987 or even now for many applications. You can build some pretty elaborate systems with relay logic, though. For mission-critical stuff, where you must interlock to prevent a dangerous chain of events you just have to use hard contacts. One single misgated PNP junction could cause a disaster. Also, with anything solid state there is always the lack of certainty in the power-down state, not something you want with a steam boiler, especially a nuclear one. You may use computers for math functions like proportional control, but the real boss of the system will be a relay array of some sort. Slagle

glimmerings of intelligence oranous.com bbc.co.uk Bless the origins of the british colonies, Boosts and London market Bums. I heard it was only a misunderstanding of what Volta said. (appr 220 Ohm, but much more if wrong, modernized headset). Is Gerrymandering, Sillycone Busts, still functional in NZ?? Those freely roaming NZ cows, are they still something to invest in?? When will NZ have your next glimmering intelligence elections?? (Sad stuff, BC of Canada decided to wait for another decade, or two)

Did the NZ sheepling industry profit from the boom-bust-and-lost british mad cow desease?? I really hope you did. However, we just found some sheeplings, suffering that same stuff. (they were all taken properly care of, sisters, brothers, parents and cousins, the whole tribe) The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life from June 23, 2002 Charles Murray revisits the arguments he made with co-author Richard Herrnstein in the book "The Bell Curve." The book, originally published in 1994, looks at the relationship between I.Q. and social status and the implications of that relationship. Mr. Murray updates some of the material from the book and talks about the controversy the book generated when it was first published. The talk was part of the Foundation for Economic Education's National Convention. Charles Murray answered questions following his remarks. tocqueville.org did he do NZ too?? IS GerryMandering still the NZ thing?? What are the NZ old goats and cows really doing, when roaming freely?? I even heard you can send two-way SMS and MSM messages. cornelwest.com Note the glimmering intelligence, little one, lost, in the bed sheet, as we say kajstenvall.com Are you sure Canada will eventually follow the example of NZ??
