TASKMAX

Description:

Geoworks version 1.2 works fine under DR DOS but it does require

        some special configuration. Files need to be set at 120. This

        may seem like a high figure but it will only use about 9K of RAM

        and if you are using EMM386 no impact need occur on conventional

        memory. Ensemble will not even begin with files equal to 30.


        TaskMAX can be initialized only with CTRL-ESC. No other hot keys

can be used. Also end-users may find that they have no keyboard

        in their other tasks. We have also received reports that even if

        it does switch TaskMAX will eventually fail. At this time we

        cannot recommend the use of TaskMAX with Geoworks Ensemble

        v.1.2.


Any version of Geoworks prior to 1.2 will not work under DR DOS 6.


        Geoworks uses XMS memory when available and will use the HMA if

        it is available.


        There have been some reports that Geoworks will not run when

        SuperPCK is loaded into upper memory (/&U+). If you are having

        trouble loding Ensemble try the switch /&U-. Also if you are

        using SuperPCK in expanded memory (/A+) advanced disk transfers

        must be turned off with a /H-.

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. ...
