More mail format flames [was Re: Poe puzzle solved after 150 year s]

You'd have a point, except. 1. Bob's entire letter is 5822 bytes; the original page, even without the URL and mail headers, is 8453, for a saving of 32%. Still, I'd have prefered that Bob had edited it more carefully, or just given the first few paragraphs and a link. 2. <=6k isn't all that much - the complaints against your practice were started by a message many times as long as this. 3. Bob posted the text, not an attachment. requiring extra processing to view. Generally, I'd like people to post only enough for me to know whether or not I want to see the whole message, I can then go through appropriate anonymizers if needed to see the whole message. You tend to publish only a subject line, a URL, and THE ENTIRE PAGE as an attachment. I just sorted my unarchived cpunk's messages by size. (the collection goes back to the beginning of May, and has 8060 messages. I delete obvious spam). Of the 20 largest messages, you posted 13, including all of the 6 largest. Others on the bandwidth hog list include anonymous, Bill Payne (twice), Bob, A. Oellermann, Roy Silvernail, and Declan.

Where does it say in the Constitution or Bill of Rights that you become a second-class citizen if you commit a felony? You might lose the right to freedom for a period of time, but when that time is done why are you still without rights? Who says you lose those rights, state or fed? Has it been challenged? Seems a pretty bogus concept to me.

CDR: Directed Hamiltonian path problem
by DUBEAU_Guy＠srh.dgac.fr 30 Nov '00

30 Nov '00

I am curious to know the maximum size of graphs than can be solved by existing computers (electronic or DNA-based). Also, what would be the commercial fallout of finding an algorithm to solve the Hamiltonian path problem rapidly for big graphs (500 points and over) ? Thanks in advance, Guy Dubeau [By the way, I can't check the Web since I have no Internet connection, just the e-mail.]

There is an online copy of Vernor Vinge's novel True Names at http://www.neoisp.org/macroscope/vinge/vernor/true_names/truename.htm. I don't know who put it up, but I found it by a doing a Google search for '"true names" "just barely possible"'.

True Names, well formatted (i.e. not HTML)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Perhaps as a combination of my anal-retentive nature and boredom, or just because I hate reading HTML-formatted text, I have gone through a LaTeX formatting of True Names. It's not publication-quality by any means, but it's much more readable than the damn web page. Everything is available from either of http://positron.mit.edu/pub/truename ftp://positron.mit.edu/pub/truename LaTeX source and dvi output is available in the files tru_aftw.tar.gz and truename.tar.gz. - -- Riad Wahby rsw(a)mit.edu MIT VI-2/A 2002 5105 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6JrXBiHor6RkxxqYRArbBAKCoPRLiu5xH4DRkkc904vIIXUdBDwCfW1xx jaPhCL3mOiOJAWTjORJRraY= =lFln -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
