  My new orphans...

I have three gray squirrels that I'm hand raising for the nature center.
One is an albino. It is strange when you can't go by color to tell what
kind of squirrel he is. Everything is white but the eyes. He is cute.
I'll have to get a pic of him sent in.

As part of a rape investigation, police routinely have the victim
examined at a hospital. It's paid for as part of the police
investigation.

Except in Wasiila, AK when Palin was Mayor. There and then, the
victim paid the $500 to $1,200 cost.

I left to get a $129 Kenmore on sale for $99.00 and came home with a
GE that was $99.00. The Kenmore was a Consumer Report best buy at $129.
This GE has sensor cook and automatically shuts off cooking veggies and
such based on the amount of steam present. I nuked two ears of corn and
they were great. It looks strange to me because it is white my other one
was black and I looked at it a lot of years. I hope it lastas as long as
the other one.

1989 on DECUServe, the DECUS member bulletin board.

VAXen, my children, just don't belong some places. In my business, I am
frequently called by small sites and startups having VAX problems. So when a

NEW IBM OPERATING SYSTEM

Because so many users have asked for an operating system of even greater
capability then VM, IBM announces the Virtual Universe Operating System --
OS/VU.

Running under OS/VU, the individual users appears to have not merely a machine
of his own, but an entire universe of his own, in which he can set up and take
down his own programs, data sets, systems networks, personnel, and planetary
systems. He need only specify the universe he desires, and the OS/VU system
generation program (IEHGOD) does the rest. This program will reside in
SYS1.GODLIB. The minimum time for this function is 6 days of activity and 1 day
of review. In conjunction with OS/VU, all system utilities have been replaced by
one program (IEHPROPHET) which will reside in SYS1.MESSIAH. This program has no
parms or control cards as it knows what you want to do when it is executed.

Classic Hack
Here is a story about one of the classic computer hacks.

Back in the mid-1970s, several of the system support staff at Motorola
discovered a relatively simple way to crack system security on the Xerox CP-V
timesharing system. Through a simple programming strategy, it was possible for a
user program to trick the system into running a portion of the program in
`master mode' (supervisor state), in which memory protection does not apply. The
program could then poke a large value into its `privilege level' byte (normally
write-protected) and could then proceed to bypass all levels of security within
the file-management system, patch the system monitor, and do numerous other
interesting things. In short, the barn door was wide open.

Motorola quite properly reported this problem to Xerox via an official `level 1
SIDR' (a bug report with an intended urgency of `needs to be fixed yesterday').
Because the text of each SIDR was entered into a database that could be viewed
by quite a number of people, Motorola followed the approved procedure: they
simply reported the problem as `Security SIDR', and attached all of the
necessary documentation, ways-to-reproduce, etc.

Bush went to a Stevie Wonder concert, and sat there waving at Stevie,
trying to get him to wave back.

Then there's the White House press conference where Bush harrassed a
blind reporter to take his sunglasses off. "The Sun isn't even
shining."
