The UFONET Charter

The UFONET Charter:
 ----------------------

 - We are a not-for-profit operation, and prohibit the charging
   of user fees in order to specifically access UFONET.

 - Our goal is to provide an unbiased, free and open forum, for
   those persons interested in discussing any of the many aspects
   which relate to the "UFO phenomenon", as its commonly known.

 - UFONET will not have an official editorial policy. Rather,
   we will let the Echo and File areas act as a vehicle whereby
   people may let their positions be known without discrimination.

 - UFONET Sysops and users are strongly encouraged to attract
   to the network known individuals who have expertise in some
   aspect of the field of "UFOlogy". Our combined objective is to
   reach the widest user base, composed both of researchers and
   the general public, in order that information may be analyzed
   and disseminated to the benefit of all.

Press Enter...

 - The heart and soul of UFONET is its echomail conferences,
   and file resource library. All validated users who observe the
   "Code of Conduct" shall have unimpeded access to these areas.

 - As UFONET is non-profit, we are not in competition with any
   other groups and organizations in the same field. Our goal here
   at UFONET is to act in part as clearing-house for information
   past and present which impacts the study of "UFOlogy". Where
   possible, we hope to co-operate with other groups and organizations
   in our shared goal of making the public better educated and informed.

 - For purposes of Voting, all UFONET Sysops who have been with the
   network for a minimum of three months, shall be accorded one vote.
   The Moderator (Tom Mickus), shall be accorded two votes, while the
   acting Hub Sysop will be given an additional franchise.

 - Changes in the UFONET Charter and policy, shall be achieved by
   a two-thirds majority by the UFONET "Operating Committee",
   composed of all UFONET Sysops and the Moderator.


                            - Tom Mickus  February 26th/1989

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
