Motion into the new groups will be gradually enforced as traffic is aliased from the old names into the new names. Here is the list of names that were just created, and their... more »

lightning srikes
|
| |
I'm tyring to present to my management a rational argument why we shouldn't have 100 feet of baseband coax between two buildings. I instead propose to use fiber optic. I would appreciate any horror stories that people have regarding mass destruction of computers after a nearby lightning strike. Please mail responses to me and... more »

battery sizes
|
| |
Ok, here's a stumper. In the realm of 1.5V batteries, there are AAA, AA, C, and D sizes. What happened to the A and B sizes? --- It's been said by many a wise philosopher that when you die and your soul goes to its final resting place, it has to make a connection in Atlanta.

Helium Balloons
|
| |
[POP!] I just opened up my dead helium ballon of two days to breath in and speak like like Donald Duck today and it didn't work. Does the helium mutate or diffuse out of the balloon and regular air diffuse in or what? Mike mikel%c...@ucbvax.berkeley.edu ..ucbvax!cory!mikel

Looking for USS CONSTELLATION
|
| |
[I am posting to these groups because the newsgroup listing for my site does not list anything for "model building".] I am once again getting the urge to build a sailing ship model, but I am having difficulty finding the particular model I want. About 4 or 5 years ago I saw a Revell model kit for the USS CONSTELLATION, but now no one even... more »

Phone billing bug, revisited
|
| |
Well, folks, it has happened to me again. For the second time in the last couple of years I have been the victim of a bug in ATT phone billing. You may recall my posting the first time it happened, a year or two ago. It seems that it is possible to place a call right before midnight and get charged for an extra 24 hours. (It is quite a thrill to open up a... more »

Heinousity of Clayton Cramer
|
| |
This is absurd. Why has Clayton Cramer committed such a heinous crime against the net that he should have his net priviledges revoked ? Perhaps his comments about Mr. Keller's still being unemployed lacked a certain degree of tact, but the kind of grandiose posturing Mr. Keller is engaging in is absurd. When you enter a discussion on an open forum,... more »
