Subject: Re: 3D Sound Programming

The 2.21 SDK has the Focal Point 3D software and manual pages, maybe all of
this legal mess with Focal Point (at least some of the recent digests have
suggested legal troubles) has pushed Gravis to pull out the 3D functions and
release 2.22 without them (2.21 wasn't put out all that long ago, I wouldn't be
surprised if this were the case).
On a similar thread however, has anyone actually used the 3D functions
on the GUS? Have you had any success and/or failure and how easy/difficult were
they to use? I have been considering porting our 3D sound API to the PC (from
SGI workstations) and would love to support the Ultrasound if it would be easy
to do. Also, does anyone know how easy it would be to utilize the 3D library
and the Win3.1 sound API together? All of our 2D stuff will be written for
Win3.1's API (and Win95's when it gets closer to shipping) but I would love to
say "You can get 2D sound with any Win3.1 compatible soundcard...but if you
want 3D..."
It would be a nice little boost for our underdog of a soundcard. :-)

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 known algorithms [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Our persistent inability to emulate perception gives reason to doubt the current paradigm and to look for an alternative paradigm.      Penrose[7] and many others [8, 9, 10] argue from practical considerations, Godel's theorem, and

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.        Complete instructions for building this simple, deadly weapon  could be given in half the space I'm using here and not require a  single illustrat
