TITLE: Sidekick 95 Alarm Tips




Sidekick 95 will allow you to set a visual reminder to pop up when it’s time for an appointment. You can also choose to play an alarm sound, and specify when each alarm goes off. An appointment with an alarm displays a bell icon to the left of the text. You also can specify a .WAV sound to play when the alarm goes off.


Sidekick 95 requires a sound card to play .wav files, and looks for these files in your \Windows\Media directory. If you don’t have a sound card, or your .wav files are stored in a different directory, there will be no sound accompanying the visual alarm when it appears.


Sidekick 95 checks for alarms every 15 minutes (on the quarter hour) and sounds an alarm at that time for any appointments that occur in the following 15 minute time frame. Sidekick will only sound an alarm at the top of the hour, at the quarter hour, half hour, and three quarter hour marks. So, if you’ve set an alarm for 1:10 PM for example, the alarm will appear at 1:00 PM. The only time Sidekick 95 will sound an alarm at 1:10 PM, is if an alarm goes off at 1:00 PM, and you opt to “snooze” for 10 minutes.


Remember that if you’re setting an alarm to test the sound, you should do so at least ½ hour in the future, and the lead time for that alarm should not be more than 15 minutes, or Sidekick 95 won’t “see” the alarm. For example, if the lead time for a 1:20 PM appointment is 10 minutes, and you’re setting the alarm at 1:05 PM, Sidekick will have already checked for alarms in the 1:00 to 1:15 PM timeframe (at 1:00 PM) and miss that alarm.

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
