as is every cron job running quota checks & mailing the results to system users.
I believe it is time to file the patent on a process for the induction of Oxygen for the purpose of converting molecular structure to energy resulting in the expulsion of CO2. -- ---------1---------2---------3---------4---------5---------6---------7 Eric Kimminau Email: ekimminau@rainfinity.com Senior Sales Engineer Office:248.766.9921 Rainfinity Fax: 248.393.8037 www.rainfinity.com EXPERIENCE DATthe induction of A MOVEMENT WITHOUT DISRUPTION

Or the first project that I was senior systems analyst, back in 1979, all published and everything -- remote sensing in farmers' fields via satellite and X.25. (Messages contained type=value tuples, not XML.) Although I wanted to upgrade the PE 7/32s to Unix when that operating system became more stable ;-) This newfangled TCP/IP was starting to look more interesting about then, too.... Merit staff mailed me the paper, as they weren't accessible to us on-line yet. Seems to me like a company of undergraduates without any real-time systems experience. And a patent office of ignorant monkeys. -- William Allen Simpson Key fingerprint = 17 40 5E 67 15 6F 31 26 DD 0D B9 9B 6A 15 2C 32
Speaking on Deep Background, the Press Secretary whispered:
I used to work on North Electric Paracode on a pipeline control system. It sent six bits, with 2 of the 5 spaces as longer to count decimal: 1 12 2 13 3 14 4 15 .... 9 35 0 45 It generated the longer pauses with copper-cored -48v telco relays that hung in a little longer. There were relay-based A-D converters to read meter pressures. And shift registers to sample&hold meter counts. The acceptance test was in Galion OH on the day President Kennedy said: Good evening my fellow citizens: This Government, as promised, has maintained the closest surveillance of the Soviet Military buildup on the island of Cuba. Within the past week, unmistakable evidence has established the fact that a series of offensive missile sites is now in preparation on that imprisoned island. The purpose of these bases can be none other than to provide a nuclear strike capability against the Western Hemisphere. Does that count as prior art? -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
