A forum for the discussion of issues related to the idea that beliefs and identity are becoming increasingly unstable. Our emerging global culture is influenced by a shifting and constant movement that alters economic, spiritual, and geographic categories and hence our understanding of the world. NOMAD represents varying concepts of space and time that inform relationships between and across cultures, between gendered and culturally different individuals. It investigates what happens to an image, a story, a theory that moves from place to place. NOMAD challenges truth while recognizing that certain "essentialisms" can be made useful. NOMAD includes the effects of televisual and digital technologies on social and cultural meaning. It is about the ability to be in at least two places at once, to be in two or more moments of historical space and time, to be both in and out of one's body. It explores the homogenizing tendencies of global communications media in relation to local cultures. It concerns the influence of these technologies over even those who appear to be outside the circuits, over those who are otherwise perceived as marginal or who are willfully peripheral.

An unmoderated group to carry postings of encoded pictures featuring famous people, which do not fit into other pictures groups, i.e. people that are not supermodels or porn stars. Since this group is intended as a companion group to alt.binaries.pictures.misc and not abp.erotica, pictures in this group should be G rated, i.e. do not include nudity. Pictures of famous nude people still should go to alt.binaries.pictures.erotica*. If any nude pictures are posted, they should carry a note of that in the subject and the description. Crosspostings between this group and alt.binaries.pictures.misc are not incourged, since abp.misc is supposed to take anything that doesn't fit in other groups. Crosspostings between this group and abps are acceptable, if the subject fits into both groups. All discussion related to postings in alt.binaries.pictures.celebrities should go to alt.binaries.pictures.d. A .d group specifically for the group will not be created. To assure this, all posters should set the Followup-To field to alt.binaries.pictures.d. Discussions about the people portrayed in pictures posted in the group should best take place in the appropriate groups for each celebrity, e.g. alt.fan.*, alt.tv.*, rec.music.*, etc. Readers: 22000 (0.7%) {77%} Mesgs per month/day: 5299/177 {96%} Crossposting: 31% {75%} Megs per month/day: 79.3/2.643 {99%} Sites reciving this Group: 31% Cost ratio ($US/month/rdr): 1.00 alt.binaries.pictures.children Pictures of children.

This music is characterized by strong classical and jazz influences, lengthy pieces, and attention to compositional details (perhaps noticeable mainly to trained musicians) rather than catchiness or marketability. New artists that write compositionally complex music are also discussed. There are other definitions for "progressive" music. For one group of people, it is a synonym for today's "alternative" music. alt.music.progressive does NOT address this music; see alt.music.alternative instead. For a second group of people, it means any music that progresses beyond popular music in some significant way. alt.music.progressive sometimes addresses this type of music. The most common argument concerning "progressive rock" occurs when two people use different definitions of "progressive." One or both of them start screaming, "the music you like is NOT progressive." These arguments get nowhere and should be avoided. Note that alt.music.genesis and alt.music.yes exist for discussions particular to Genesis and Yes, respectively.

A group for the discussion of music based in any of the world's classical, popular, and folk traditions. Excluded from this group would be any musical traditions that already have their own newsgroups (e.g. rec.music.classical, rec.music.indian.classical, rec.music.afro-latin, rec.music.folk (which appears to be dedicated mostly to American folk music), etc.). However, music that might be unwelcome in any of the above-named groups because it does not adhere to traditional forms closely enough (e.g. baroque-Indian-Cuban-pop fusion music) would be welcome to be discussed in alt.music.world. Of course, discussion of highly traditional music would be just as welcome as discussion of non-traditional genre-crossing music. In short: If you would find it in the "World Music" or "International" section of a record store and it doesn't have its own newsgroup, then alt.music.world would be the place to discuss it.

ACEDB is used to collect information regarding the molecular biology of the genome.

A plave for discussions by users and developers of genome databases using the ACEDB software. This group includes discussions ranging from construction of new databases using the ACEDB software, curation of genetic and physical map information into Ace format, to questions about the use of any of the species specific databases utilizing the ACEDB software. As part of the C. elegans genome effort Jean Thierry-Mieg and Richard Durbin developed a generalized software solution for genome databases. ACEDB is the name of the software used for the organization, presentation and storage of genome information. It is also the name of the first database to use this software, the the C. elegans genome database. ACEDB includes an X-windows user interface and an object-like database engine developed specifically for storage of biological information. Many groups have begun using ACEDB to create a variety of genome databases. As of April 1993 three of these groups have released their databases to the general public and many others are well along in their development. The number of groups utilizing the ACEDB software to organize, manipulate and disseminate genome information is increasing. An informal community of ACEDB developers has formed to share knowledge and resources. This group allows the community of developers and users to continue sharing and growing. The archives of the group also provide a useful resource to both developers and users.

Use of spreadsheet products, add-ons, macro/scripting languages, and connections to other products (such as databases) are appropreate topics for discussion. Commercial, shareware, and public domain products may be discussed.

A reminder about posting to comp.arch (last mod */*/*) Stop, Think, Observe, Plan From: alvitar@xavax.com (Phillip Harbison) Posted: monthly (Thu, 1 Jul 1993 07:00:08 GMT) Readers: 56000 (0.7%) {96%} Mesgs per month/day: 829/28 {61%} Crossposting: 10% {40%} Megs per month/day: 1.9/0.063 {72%} Sites reciving this Group: 78% Cost ratio ($US/month/rdr): 0.02 comp.arch.arithmetic Implementing arithmetic on computers/digital systems. A forum for the discussion of implementing arithmetic functions in digital computers (and other digital systems). There are many other newsgroups which share a peripheral interest with this topic, but none which deals precisely with the topic of implementing arithmetic (and logical) functions on digital systems. comp.arch.arithmetic deals with the topic of computer arithmetic at several different levels, from the circuit level (how to build a faster multiplier, for example) to the algorithmic level. Both hardware and software implementations of arithmetic are approprate. Any problem involving arithmetic or logical calculations is fair game for discussion, whether it be ALU design, digital signal processing, cryptography, minimization of logic equations, or anything else. This newsgroup is also for the discussion of various protocols and standards relating to computer arithmetic, such as IEEE Standard 754. In short, any topic relevant to computer arithmetic/logic is acceptable in this newsgroup. comp.arch.arithmetic serves all of those with an interest in computer arithmetic, from undergraduates wondering what two's complement numbers are, to seasoned researchers discussing the latest developments of the field. No one should be made to feel unwelcome, simply due to a lack of experience or knowledge of the topics covered. An FAQ is also avalible for this group. Generally, any post relating to computer arithmetic or logic is considered acceptable. Posts which are not relevant to the topic at hand, or posts which are excessively hostile, are considered unacceptable. Constructive criticism of another's ideas/work are OK, flames are not. As comp.arch. arithmetic is an UNMODERATED newsgroup, readers are expected to exercise their own good judgment when posting. It is anticipated that the vast majority of posters will be professional in their behavior, so moderation is not necessary.

The newsgroup 'comp.arch.bus.vmebus' is a forum for discussing issues related to developing VMEbus-based systems. This includes discussion of VMEbus-based hardware, such as CPU boards and I/O devices; the VMEbus specification; any alternate or secondary buses supported by the VMEbus International Trade Association (VITA) which includes FutureBus+, VSB, VXI, and VMX; open-architecture applications based on the VMEbus; and hardware-dependent software, such as device drivers and bus communication protocols. The group is also available for questions and answers, so that developers of VMEbus-based hardware and software can get feedback or help with any problems they may encounter. Discussions should not be about hardware-independent software which use the VMEbus, such as the operating system or language being used, as there are other comp.* newsgroups dedicated to those functions. comp.arch.bus.vmebus Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) This posting contains a list of Frequently Asked Questions and other information about the VMEbus computer system. The VMEbus is an industrial grade open systems bus specification. This FAQ contains general information about the VMEbus and VXIbus specifications, where to obtain further information and answers to questions often asked on comp.arch.bus.vmebus.

This group is to facilitate and encourage communication among people interested in computer storage systems. The scope of the discussions would include issues relevant to all types of computer storage systems, both hardware and software. The general emphasis here is on open storage systems as opposed to platform specific products or proprietary hardware from a particular vendor. Such vendor specific discussions might belong in comp.sys.xxx or comp.periphs. Many of these questions are at the research, architectural, and design levels today, but as more general storage system products enter the market, discussions may expand into "how to use" type questions. This group serves as a forum for the discussion of issues which do not easily fit into the more tightly focused discussions in various existing newsgroups. The issues are much broader than Unix (comp.unix.*, comp.os.*), as they transcend operating systems in general. Distributed computer systems of the future will offer standard network storage services; what operating system(s) they use (if any) will be irrelevant to their clients. The peripheral groups (comp.periphs, comp.periphs.scsi) are too hardware oriented for these topics. Several of these topics involve active standards groups but several storage system issues are research topics in distributed systems. In general, the standards newsgroups (comp.std.xxx) are too narrowly focused for these discussions. comp.arch.storage FAQ */* From: rdv@alumni.caltech.edu (Rodney D.

During the International Workshop on Constraint Processing at CSAM'93 in St. Petersburg (Russia) this summer, many participants expressed a need for a common forum to discuss all aspects of constraint processing from different viewpoints and to work out the common principles, techniques, and vocabulary, as well as to contrast and compare different approaches. TOPICS OF DISCUSSIONS Discussion and announcements on all aspects of constraint processing are welcome, including (but not limited to) . * constraint-satisfaction methods and consistency techniques, . * constraint logic programming, . * concurrent constraint languages, . * constraints and knowledge representation, . * object-oriented constraint processing, . * constraint programming, . * constraint maintenance, . * constraint relaxation techniques, . * hierarchical constraint problems, . * parallel and distributed computing with constraints, . * finite as well as continous domain handling, . * constraint processing in deductive databases, constraints in SQL, . * constraint processing in compilation for supercomputers, . * constraint processing in computer graphics and user interfaces, . * relations to operations research, . * complexity results, . * theoretical foundations, . * implementation techniques, . * and, especially, real-life applications. An increasing number of researchers all over the world are now dealing with different aspects of constraint processing regarded as a general paradigm of computation. However, the constraint processing community appears to be very heterogeneous: Researchers from logic programming, knowledge representation, expert systems, theoretical computer science, operations research and other related fields are investigating the use of constraint processing methods, their theoretical foundations, as well as their applications to real-life problems. Each of these communities has its own subgroup dealing with constraint processing issues, some of them with specialized meetings and workshops. Discussion on constraint processing issues is currently split over several newsgroups and mailing lists each dealing with constraint processing from different viewpoints. Thus, it appears that a common communication media is missing for the discussion of general issues and for initiating a cross-fertilization between the different communities. This newsgroup is intended to provide an international forum for communication between researchers working on different aspects of con- straint processing in order to investigate similarities and differences between their basic viewpoints as well as to work out the common prin- ciples, vocabulary, and techniques that are used. comp.constraints FAQ */* Frequently Asked Questions [Monthly posting] Frequently asked questions about constraints From: jampel@cs.city.ac.uk (Michael Jampel) Posted: monthly (17 Jan 1996 04:14:38 GMT) Readers: 14000 (0.2%) {59%} Mesgs per month/day: 48/2 {12%} Crossposting: 9% {37%} Megs per month/day: 0.3/0.010 {32%} Sites reciving this Group: 61% Cost ratio ($US/month/rdr): 0.01 comp.databases Database and data management issues and theory.

For discussion of the Dylan language. This newsgroup is gatwayed gatewayed with the mailing list info-dylan@cambridge.apple.com. Dylan(TM) is a new object-oriented language, described in a book published by Apple Computer in April 1992. Many people have expressed interest in the language since then, and prototype implementations are now appearing. In September, Apple created four public mailing lists for discussions of Dylan; the one called info-dylan is used for discussing any and all aspects of the language. In just over a month, the volume of mail on info-dylan has reached the point where a newsgroup would be more useful than a mailing list; indeed, some subscribers have already removed their names from the list because of the high volume. Apple will maintain a gateway with the mailing list so that current subcribers to info-dylan who lack newsgroup access will still be able to participate in the discussions. comp.lang.dylan FAQ From: straz@cambridge.apple.com (Steve Strassmann) Posted: roughly every two months () Readers: 15000 (0.2%) {61%} Mesgs per month/day: 163/5 {26%} Crossposting: 7% {32%} Megs per month/day: 0.4/0.013 {37%} Sites reciving this Group: 70% Cost ratio ($US/month/rdr): 0.02 comp.lang.eiffel The object-oriented Eiffel language.

It isn't necessary that the language itself be purely functional, so scheme, ml, etc. are valid topics for discussion; but only the functional aspects of not purely functional languages should be discussed. comp.lang.functional FAQ (*/*) From: ruiter@ruls41.LeidenUniv.nl Posted: unknown () comp.lang.functional Frequently Asked Questions (monthly posting) This posting contains a list of frequently asked questions (and their answers) about functional programming languages and their implementations.

Exchange of Logo programs would be facilitated by posting notices of program archives. This newsgroup is focused on the Logo approach to education, exploration, and programming in Logo. Areas for discussion include, but are not limited to, the following topics: * The Logo Language itself, including how to get started, programming questions, resources, and reference materials. * Logo applications and development information including: design issues, utilities, experiences with Logo use, new features or capabilities [e.g. LEGO/Logo], and implementation issues for interpreter developers. This area would also serve as a focal point for software trading, reviews and requests for available packages. * Logo for educational, pedagogical, development or cognitive discipline support. * General discussion on the uses of the Logo language for education, prototyping, exploratory programming, microworld development, tooling, AI-Education topics, classroom experiences and research results. In addition to topics and general discussion areas already listed, examples of questions that have been discussed in other groups that are appropriate for comp.lang.logo are: * Why does my school system insist on teaching Logo to only advanced students when that was clearly not the goal of the language designers and developers? * How can I get my school system to use Logo to replace the Electronic Worksheets they are using now? * Anyone want to get a group buy together for LEGO/Logo and see if Dacta will give us a group discount? * When and where are the good Logo conferences this year? * Has anyone read the book ``Logo's Good Gnus '' Is it any good? * Why are there so few microworlds outside the realm of mathematics? * How do I get started with Logo for my children at home?

Any and all discussion about Prograph, a unique visual object-oriented dataflow programming language. What is Prograph?: Prograph is a complete programming language and environment that uses visual elements to describe objects and functions -- there is no textual syntax -- and it has its own interpreter and compiler. After over five years of availability on the Apple Macintosh, Prograph is moving cross-platform with versions for Windows and several Unices currently in testing. The most recent version of Prograph, Prograph CPX, contains a cross-platform application framework class library and high-level GUI builder. Prograph will also have the ability to generate C++ code which will be compilable under gcc linked to a set of compatibility classes on a wide variety of platforms. What about Prograph Source Code?: Prograph source code should not be loaded onto the usenet system, as it tends to be large. Instead, there is a Prograph file archive maintained at ftp.iup.edu in the info-prograph directory where files can be uploaded and downloaded via anonymous ftp. For those without ftp access, an info-prograph-sources mailing list can be established. alt.sources.mac also lists Prograph code as one of its legal posting types.

(Moderated) The comp.os.ms-windows.announce group is a moderated news group for announcing anything related to Microsoft Windows or Windows NT. Articles are subject to editing or rejection. Typical postings include new uploads to ftp sites, software/hardware releases or updates, meetings, conferences, exhibits, services, or rumors (reliable sources only ;). Especially useful are NEW uploads to FTP sites, which are easy to spot here, as opposed to other windows groups which receive 100's of posts per day. So if you're first to upload a file to one of the FTP sites (cica/sunsite/etc), please feel free to send me an announcement. Posts regarding announcements about other Operating System vendors are fine as long as the primarily relate to Microsoft Windows/NT (examples: Sun's WABI, or IBM's OS/2 for Windows). For the most part, postings should generally be around 150 lines in length. There are obvious exceptions and if you think you have one, please submit the article. This group is not for Job offerings (see misc.jobs.offered) or Opinions on a posting (follow-ups to comp.os.ms-windows.misc). If you grab a piece of software mentioned on this group and find a dangerous bug, please feel free to send me a note detailing the circumstances, if it's serious, I'll post it. Marketing hype will be edited from all postings. If you market a Windows product, please post it's features, pricing and availability, please don't post the company's history/philosophy.

A forum for discussing issues related to the use and interpretation of MPI (Message Passing Interface), an informal standard for writing message-passing programs. MPI was created by the MPI Forum, a group of University, Industry, and National Laboratory representatives including significant international representation. The MPI standard can be obtained from netlib by sending the message "send draft-final.ps from mpi" to netlib@ornl.gov. Alternatively, one can anonymous ftp to netlib2.cs.utk.edu. More information about MPI can be obtained by reading the MPI FAQ which is available by anonymous ftp at aurora.cs.msstate.edu in pub/mpi/faq/mpi-faq.ascii. The FAQ is also available through the WWW at URL: http://www.cs.msstate.edu/dist_computing/mpi-faq.html Furthermore, the URL for the full online manual of the standard, and reference implementation is as follows: http://www.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/ Appropriate discussion in the group will include both general MPI issues, platform-specific questions, and discussion comparing MPI to other systems. Some examples: General MPI Issues Answers to novices' questions Clarification of the standard document Exchange of public-domain MPI source code Implementation of various applications etc. Platform-specific issues Implementations available Peculiarities and bugs found in various implementations etc. Comparison to other systems P4, Express, LINDA, PVM, etc Message Passing Interface (MPI) FAQ This posting contains a list of common questions (and their answers) about the Message Passing Interface standard (also known as MPI).

A forum to discuss software that can handle 'international', i.e. non-English, text. The encouraged topics will include 1) How to write, where to find, and how to use internationalized software 2) What hardware/operating systems support internationalized software, (e.g. how do I do Asian word processing on MS-DOS/MacOS/MS-Windows-NT? what hardware/operating systems are available in other countries? What is DOS/V? How do I read a font from BIOS? How does X11R6 support Asian keyboard input methods?) 3) How to work with international de jure and de facto standards for representation of text, e.g. ASCII, JIS, Shift-JIS, Big5, EUC, GB2312, KSC5601, ISO2022, ISO10646, and Unicode, and why some standards are popular in some countries & not others. 4) How to process text in various languages (e.g. how do you strip vowels from Hebrew to get the canonical spelling? How does one sort Chinese? What is a locale file?) 5) What magazines, books, and conferences deal with these issues? Please try to keep legal and marketing issues out of the group; becuase, the intent is to help people find, write, and use non-English mono and multi-lingual software.

(Moderated) This moderated newsgroup is for all program postings and anything that needs to be archived. All programs can and should be posted here. It will not matter if they are rpl source, assembly source, uuencoded binaries, asc encoded binaries, or any other format that might come up in the foreseeable future. It would be good to post large documents like the internals list here for archiving and to keep the bytes down in the discussion group. This is not a requirement, only a suggestion. Each posting should contain rkive(1) headers so that rkive(1) can be used to automatically archive each posting. Hopefully the sites that archive comp.sources.* will also archive the HP48 source. There will be at least one archive site, seq.uncwil.edu. Each posting should also contain a version number so that it will be much easier to keep track of newer versions and to purge old versions. Since most HP28 programs run on the HP48, they are welcome. The postings will be identified by HP28 in the subject line of each message.

(Moderated) A moderated newsgroup for the distribution of program sources that have been subjected to a Peer Review process. Similar to the process used for academic journals, submissions are sent to a moderator who then sends the sources to Peer Review volunteers for evaluation. The Reviewers are asked to provided a timely evaluation of the software by compiling and running it on their machine. If time does not permit them to complete a review, they are responsible for asking the moderator to select another reviewer. If the Moderator and Peer Reviewers judge a submission to be acceptable, the sources will be posted along with the written comments provided by the Reviewers. If a submission is not found to be acceptable, the submitter will be provided with the Reviewers' comments, and they will have the option of addressingthose comments and submitting the sources again.
