Fun with Windows 3.1


As with most PC programs, Windows 3.1 has a special sequence
of keystrokes that reveal the product's authors.  In this case,
you also get an animation as well.  Here are the steps:

1.      Hold down Ctrl and Shift for the duration of this process.

2.      With Program Manager active, do a HELP, ABOUT.

3.      Double-click on one of the panes in the window in the upper left
        Click OK.

4.      Do another HELP, ABOUT in Program Manager.
        Double-click the same window pane.
        * A flag will fly
        Click OK.

5.      Do a third HELP, ABOUT in Program Manager
        Double-click the same window pane.

This time you will see a cartoon character pointing to
a scrolling list of the Windows 3.1 development team.
Do it a few times using different panes, and eventually you'll
see all 4 cartoon characters.

(The characters are: Bill Gates, Micrsoft CEO (Guy w/glasses),
Steve Ballmer, Microsoft Exec VP (Bald Guy), Brad Silverberg, Vice
President - Microsoft Personal Systems/DOS & Windows (Bearded Guy)
and T-bear (Teddy Bear), Windows 3.1 team mascot).

Evidence supporting quantum information processing in animals

              Evidence supporting quantum            information processing in animals                    James A. Donald                    1068 Fulton Av                    Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1505                    USA I show that quantum systems can rapidly solve some problems for which finite state machines require a non- polynomially large time. This class of problems is closely related to the class of problems that animals can solve rapidly and effortlessly, but are intractable for computers by all known algorithms. 1. Introduction      Animals, including very simple animals, can rapidly and effortlessly perceive objects, whereas computers take nonpolynomial time to do this by all...

ARMIES OF CHAOS

                          ARMIES OF CHAOS -      Before anyone proposes more gun control, he or she should know  about a simple, deadly weapon 4 times as powerful as Dirty Harry's  legendary .44 Magnum -- and at least twice as concealable -- that  _can't_ controlled.        This simple, deadly weapon can be made by anyone -- even a  child -- with unpowered hand tools in an hour's time using $5 worth  of materials, most of which are available around the house anyway.   In traditional form it's reusable an unlimited number of times, and  modern plastics have rendered its disposable version electronically  undetectable.  You can clear a room with such a weapon (more of a  hand-held directional grenade than a gun -- sort of a recycleable  Claymore mine) and it's just one of hundreds of similar time-proven  designs. ...
