Time?
You can't have the whole day, Rob.  (Unless no one else wants it.)

It would fit with my family to celebrate the volcano.

Pregnant women should sit in line for Star Wars.  We brought cards last
night.  I'm sure (for a pregnant woman) the management would not have
objected to a folding chair.

We were there for 3 hours before the movie, and watched the crowd gather,
line up, and go in for the (analog) show before ours.  (Digital.)  Being
among the first 10 people into the theatre, I had a perfect seat.

The real question is, how many times would a pregnant woman need to go to
the bathroom, and what would she miss?

Apparently, she did fine.  I have no details other than they sat in the
front row. (my second least favorite place, but she thought it was cool.)
I'm not a Star Wars fan.  Something that shocks many of my friends.  Marvel
comics, Star Trek (TOS especially,) Stephen King's less gruesome stuff (e.g.
The Green Mile, Stand By Me, The Shawshank Redemption,) are more my speed.
The last time I stood in line opening day for a movie was for Star Trek VI:
The Undiscovered Country.  Idiots here put it on one screen in one of the
smallest theaters in the area.  They didn't get it yet.  Now even bad SF
opens on multiple screens in large theaters.  Around here that means we
don't have to stand in line through three shows to get a seat.

I will never forget waiting to see ST2 (I took a "long lunch" that 
Friday), and was the 3rd person in line. The person ahead of me had just 
come from the airport from a 'con (so they said), and was wearing 
pointed ears.

This was just something that tickled me.  Back in the bad old days when
BBS's ruled and 2400 baud was screaming, this was the kind of thing you'd
post to catch neophytes.

I've been caught more than once by some evil "genius" who thought it was
cute to hide traps in hir games.  There's not much worse than to reach the
end of the game only to be booted off-line or have your computer reset.  One
guy built just such a "trap" to keep anyone from beating his high scores.

Being a grandparent is fun, once the initial shock wears off.  Then,
it's "I hope your child is just like you!" time.  Spoil them
(grandkids) rotten, then send them home.

Revenge is sweet.


Good luck and Congrats to all.

You should have seen Conan O'Brian's show, either the first night or the
next. He had sent down his "insult comic dog" (an insult comic who uses
a hand puppet dog for his routine) to insult whomever was standing in line.
He told one guy he looked like he was the UberNerd, made from parts of other
nerds, and generally insulted everyone in line on the basis of being nerds,
out of contact with reality, not having lives, and never having sex. Possibly
the most amusing/vicious one was to a pregnant woman:

Dog: "So, you've got a new nerd in there?"
Woman: "Yes."
Dog: "When is he due?"
The woman gave the date, and the Dog responded, "That is the last day he
will ever see female genitalia."

Lucky for him, she laughed.

Subject: Carmack in Space
Newsgroups: sff.discuss.heinlein-forum



John Carmack is a superstar in the computer game development field.
Immensely talented, focused, disciplined, and with a great track
record of success behind him going back to "Castle Wolfenstein 3D" and
the original "Doom".

Saw this snippet from an interview with him today.  Anyone know any
more about this?


GameSpy: Every once in a while, we see news that you're -- quite
earnestly -- working with a team to build a rocket capable of blasting
someone into space. From an engineering point of view, it's easy to
see the fascination with the subject, but it's certainly not something
to be taken lightly, nor is it an inexpensive endeavor. What was it
about *this* particular project that attracted you to it? 

Carmack: There is something to be said for grappling with a challenge
that only involves the forces of nature (ignoring, for the moment, the
regulatory challenges), rather than consumer tastes. 

The appalling inefficiency in the aerospace industry is also a bit of
a driving factor. Due to an accident of history tying them to ICBMs,
the evolution of space vehicles has wound up tending towards a local
optimum that is in a completely different area than better global
solutions, and it doesn't seem likely to break out of the current
context. The aerospace industry needs a fresh reboot. There is an
order of magnitude improvement available in low hanging fruit. 

I have a reasonable time table going for all of our development work,
and things are proceeding satisfactorily. •

Subject: Cats Don't NEED to Walk Through Walls
Newsgroups: sff.discuss.heinlein-forum

Tiggy, my 13 year-old Bluetip Siamese, made me post this article. He can be
very persuasive.
===========

By Helen Briggs
BBC News Online science reporter

Anyone who has ever owned a cat will know that there is no limit to feline
charm.

But now a US psychologist has come up with evidence that nature is giving a
helping hand.

Nicholas Nicastro, of Cornell University, believes moggies are evolving into
supercats that are better able to exploit humans.
He says cats have learned what buttons to press to please their owners after
5,000 years of living with us. Apparently, it is all down to the miaows they
choose to get want they want.

The rewards are clear - more pampering, tastier food and a seat in the
comfiest chair. But not all scientists are convinced.

Dr John Bradshaw of Southampton University, UK, says there is no doubt that
cats are good at handling humans. But he says there is no evidence to
suggest that artificial selection is taking place.

The term was coined by Charles Darwin to explain how man has shaped plants,
crops and domestic animals by selective breeding.

Learned response

"Cats learn to miaow in ways that manipulate their owners but it's got
nothing to do with evolution at all - it's a learned response," says Dr
Bradshaw, an animal behaviourist.

Many cats seem to have a set of miaows they use for different contexts, he
says.

For example, a cat might choose a particular noise to signal it wants to be
let out and a different one to demand to be fed.

But when you compare cats, there is nothing in common between these miaows,
he says.

This suggests that each cat learns how to get its owner's attention,
something that is nothing to do with genetics.

"There's a much more plausible explanation," Dr Bradshaw told BBC News
Online. "Each cat tends in its own lifetime to learn the noises that
interest its owner."

The controversy arises from a Cornell University evolutionary psychology
study.

Mr Nicastro, a graduate student, put together a sample of 100 different
vocalisations from 12 cats.

He played the cat calls back to 26 human volunteers and asked them to rate
each one for pleasantness and appeal.

The same set of sounds was played to a second group of volunteers who were
asked to rate how urgent and demanding the miaows were.

Humans seem to be able to distinguish between longer, raucous miaows and
softer, more pleasing ones.

An urgent or demanding call is "the kind we hear at 7 am when we walk into
the kitchen and the cat wants to be fed," says Mr Nicastro.

"The cat isn't forming sentences and saying, specifically, 'take a can of
food out of the cupboard, run the can opener and fill my bowl immediately',
but we get the message from the quality of the vocalisation and the context
in which it is heard," he adds.

Fickle humans

Mr Nicastro, who owns two cats, goes further. He says the pleasant sound is
the one a cat might use, say in a rescue centre, to ask to be taken home.
More demanding calls could cause a feline to be left behind to face an
uncertain fate.

The psychologist says humans have long been selecting for the most pleasant
sounding cats.

"Seven thousand years ago, when we think the ancestors of our domesticated
cats began wandering into Egyptian granaries and offering to trade
rodent-control services for shelter, it was probably the pleasant-sounding
cats that were selected and accepted into human society," he says.

It is this point that is the bone of contention for Dr Bradshaw. He says for
moggies at least, breeding is not under human control.

Although it might be possible to select for certain vocal abilities in
pedigree cats, there is no evidence that this is actually happening.

"In ordinary domestic moggies, they go out and select their own mates," he
told BBC News Online.

"The idea that a female would go up to a male in a back alley somewhere and
say, 'could I hear your miaow to see if the kittens you father will be
appealing to people', couldn't happen. Cats don't have that level of
communication."

But that conclusion is unlikely to satisfy Mr Nicastro. "Cats are
domesticated animals that have learned what levers to push, what sounds to
make to manage our emotions," he says. "And when we respond, we too are
domesticated animals."
