FOOD FOR THOUGHT
=================================================================
The human race divides itself politically into those who want to be
controlled, and those who have no such desire.
-- Robert A. Heinlein

GENERAL ARTICLES
=================================================================
An open letter from Björn Forsström 2:203/614.61 to everyone under the
age of 15 and those of you who are older can stop read here since you
will never get it anyway.
When you grow up I hope that Fido has since long gone been put to
sleep because I wouldn't want you to read about how so called adults
in the year 2006 are behaving towards each other like I will mention
below but with the present situation I don't think you have to be too
much worried. Rabies is a lethal disease and it's spreading like a
wildfire in here.
It's free to call anyone you like for a thief without proving a thing.
It's free to call anyone you like for a liar, also without proving a
thing.
It's free to have the worst man ever lived (Adolf Hitler) as your
Hero. (I hope you are familiar whit the history, otherwise I can
personally recommend a visit at Dachau or Bergen-Belsen in Germany or
Stutthof in Poland).
It's free to talk shit behind everyone's back and the more patronizing
you is the better.
Misunderstand everything and everyone, deliberately or not doesn't
matter.
Do to others what you don't want them to do to you.
Show all the disrespect you can towards everyone that doesn't agree
with you.
Let someone else do the thinking for you, no matter if it makes sense
or not.
Pretend to be a peace-maker in a conflict until you have earned some
respect and then stab your opponent in the back.
The older you get the more childish you will be (sad but true).
When you leave the sandbox, be sure to bring some sand with you,
preferably full of dogs shit. It's much more fun to toss it then.
Set as many traps as you can. It' SO fun to watch people walk right
into them, thinking you was serious.
Blame everyone else for your own shortcomings.
Accuse everyone else for everything you don't like and then do exactly
the same yourself.
FIDONEWS 23-40 Page 3 2 Oct 2006
Have an agenda but never agree to anyone that you have one.
Don't ever listen to anyone else, you might actually learn something.
Claim to have a medical education and toss diagnoses around you as you
see fit without even having met the patient.
Disagree with everyone just because you can. It's really nice to stir
things up.
Don't ever help anyone, even if his clothes have caught fire.
Don't worry if you break existing rules, those who sees you as their
Hero will back you up whatever you have done.
When you run out of arguments you are entitled to sink as low as you
see fit to discredit your opponent.
I could go on for hours but I think that you kids understand what I'm
trying to say.
If you all follow some or all of those rules you will become a person
in FidoNet that's respected and the one that others will listen to
because they will look up to you as their Great Leader and they will
worship you for coming up with new abuses in every post.
And there is no copyright or anything attached to this, instead I urge
you all to make copies of this or better, make posters and put those
at every kindergarten, every school you know of so that the next
generation can learn from our mistakes and eventually make a better
world with respect for others and their opinions.

The missing copyright character
By Michiel van der Vlist, 2:280/5555
Lately there has been a bit of an uproar in the FidoNews echo about a
copyright notice. Which made me wonder why we have to make do with the
three letter string consisting of a letter 'c' encased in parenthesis
when we write articles for the Snooze and other 7 bit text only media.
The ASCII character set is the first widely accepted standard for
character encoding, but like its predecessors it lacks a copyright
character. It has provisions for the 26 letters of the alphabet -
upper and lower case -, ten digits, 32 control characters, a space and
32 special printable characters. Among these we find mathematical
operators, punctuation marks and the Dollar sign.
What is missing is a copyright character. As far I have been able to
tell the first character set to include a copyright character is
codepage 850.
Why? Did the designers of the ASCII character set (ca 1960) consider
it less important than the Dollar sign? Did the mid seventy designers
of the original extended IBM PC character set - now generally known as
codepage 437 - think a copyright character was not important enough to
include?
One might be tempted to believe so. I forward a more technical
explanation. When the ASCII character set was designed, we also saw
the advent of dot matrix based displays. The first generation of these
displays had a 5x7 matrix. And there is no way that you can cram a
recognisable copyright character in a 5x7 matrix. The best you can do
with a 5 dots wide matrix is to resolve four changes in intensity on a
horizontal cross section. That will accommodate a Dollar sign if one
compromises by having it only one vertical bar instead of the
classical two that one usually sees in print, but a copyright sign
requires at least six intensity changes. And so the copyright sign did
not emerge until the next generation of dot matrix displays came in
wide spread use: the 7x9.

CLEAN HUMOUR & JOKES
=================================================================
Bait
Boudreaux been fish'n down by de bayou all day and he done run outa
night crawlers. He be bout reddy to leave when he seen a snake wif a
big frog in his mouf. He knowed dat dem big bass fish like dem frogs,
so he decided to steal dat froggie.
Dat snake, he be a cotton mouf water moccasin, so he had to be real
careful or he'd git bit. He snuk up behin' dat snake and grabbed him
roun de haid. Dat ole snake din't lak dat one bit. He squirmed and
wrap hisself roun' Boudreaux's arm try'n to git hisself free. But
Boudreaux, he had a real good grip on his haid, yeh.
Well, Boudreaux pried his mouf open and got de frog and puts it in his
bait can. Now, Boudreaux knows dat he cain't let go dat snake or he's
g onna bite him good, but he had a plan. He reach into de back pocket
of his bibs and pulls out a pint a moonshine likker. He pour some
drops into de snake's mouf.
Well, dat snake's eyeballs kinda roll back in his haid and his body go
limp. Wit dat, Boudreaux toss dat snake into de bayou. Den he goes
back to fishin'.
A while later Boudreaux dun feel sumpin' tappin' on his barefoot toe.
He slowly look down and dare wuz dat water moccasin . . . wif two more

Fidonet Related Websites

One approach to tracking and viewing Fidonet related websites is to
visit webrings that specialize in Fidonet.
A webring is a method where sites having a common theme advertise
other websites with simailar themes. The advantage to the webring
concept is that in theory, the sites have an interest in maintaining
an accuate listing and can modify their own listings on a site by
site basis.
It appears that there are two fidonet webrings....the long-running
system at http://b.webring.com/hub?ring=fidonet and another at
http://www.fidonet.us/fidoring/
The ring at webring.com is larger, but forces the viewer to look at
google ads panels. The smaller ring at fidonet.us does not depend on
adverstising revenue from ads.
Sysops with Fidonet related websites should consider joining one or
both rings.

FIDONEWS INFORMATION
=================================================================
How to Submit an Article
If you wish to submit an article for inclusion in the Fidonews, here
are some guidelines, if you send it as an attached file; the preferred
method if you want reasonable control over how the published article
will appear in the Fidonews:
a) Plain ASCII text. If you could type it on your keyboard, it's
probably quite OK. No line may be longer than 70 characters.
b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first
time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on
the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the
format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index,
the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put
your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you
may want to add some other address where you can be reached for
personal comments.
c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 22:00 UTC.
Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects
and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration
file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file
extension of the correct subject on the file name if known.

If you don't know or are not sure, send the article anyway. Put a .TXT
on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews.
If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem
in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out
of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message
sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your
article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I
can not fix and I need your help on it.

IMPORTANT! If you send the article via e-mail, make sure you put the
word "fidonews" somewhere in the subject line! That way it
will always pass the spam filter, ending up in the proper
folder.
Please include a message, telling me that you have sent an article.
That way I will know to look for it.
