Erm, Mike, I'm a bit of a fan of Victor Lewis-Smith, ever since his days of BuyGones. I must admit, he often likes to play the flawed lunatic evil nasty person. He's been doing it for years, with prank calls, far before your illness. Its his act. He wouldn't be VLS without it. He doesn't like the Goons either.

I don't think Victor Lewis-Smith has worked for the BBC (or Capital) for several years (1994 was the last time...), so the connection, is paranoia here.

Is there any way to ban the poster > of this BS? The group is unmoderated. My usual advice would be to acquire access to a real Usenest newsfeed, and use a real newsreader to read and post; you may already have such access via your ISP, although many are dropping it. I use XNews, a Windows newsreader that works nicely, and has flexible score-files and kill-files (though it's not perfect, or really flexible enough to suit me; for instance, I can't filter on any arbitrary header, just some of them.) Alternatively, if you want to continue using Google Groups for some reason, you can perform some trickery that will hide his posts from you, if you are willing to use Firefox as a web browser. You would also have to use the Greasemonkey add-on to Firefox, and a script that adds a kill- file to Google Groups. Google itself will provide you will all relevent details if you serach for Google killfile greasemonkey or similar. Greasemonkey is a general-purpose tool to add or modify javascript on a per-web-page basis, and has many, many other uses besides kill-filing. Googling greasemonkey will reveal many of them to you. -- Dave Boyd If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate. -Capt.

Other people with my illness doubtless could produce similar non-proof if they were minded to do so. Good, now we've got the disclaimer out of the way, we can describe precisely what it is that is on display in this part of the site. In the video section, we have Quicktime (MPEG-4) clips of Jon Snow of ITN in action, also interviews with Ken Clarke and John Major of the ousted Tory regime. These are embedded in the page using QuickTime. While each audio/video clip is coded to automatically download the QuickTime player, you may find it helpful to download QuickTime from Apple's website before you start viewing the media files. Note that each item is awarded a rating of the confidence I feel that it is directed at me, expressed as a percentage. Items with 50% or more are probably about me; 100% indicates a dead cert. In audio we have MP3 files of harassment at work in Canada in late 1996, also GLR's David Hepworth not even trying to pretend that he isn't getting Levin on his encounter with a madman who bursts into tears, and swears it is all true - and it is. Also a Private Eye cover, and snippet from Victor Lewis-Smith. I have added several recordings of abuse in public. By Sept/1998 I had seven minidiscs of such recordings, unfortunately containing mostly very nasty sexual slanders which I will not be publishing on this website. The recordings were made on a Sony Minidisc Walkman MZ-R30, which I purchased in Canada in July/1997, with ECM-T140 microphone. After both the MZ-R30 and the microphone reached the end of their lives, in June/2001 I purchased as replacement my current recording gear, an MZ-R900 walkman with ECM-T145 microphone. Share and Enjoy! I hope you enjoy partaking in my delusions which have been recorded with high fidelity digital equipment and presented for your listening pleasure. 831 -- ------->>http://www.NewsDemon.com<<<<<<------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access === === === Subject: MI5 Persecution: Ken Clarke (1), April 1997 (2054) Ken Clarke (1), April 1997 Certainty level: 30% The first of two video segments from the same program, this shows Jon Snow interviewing Ken Clarke in April 1997, during the general election campaign. The following exchange is heard; Jon Snow: You say we are booming in your posters, the bust's around the corner Ken Clarke: You took that from three years ago, when I was being advised to do all kinds of mad things to stimulate the economy, and being told that I had to take desperate measures to get it going At this time I was watching television almost continuously at home, with a video recorder whirring away, trying to obtain from the newscasters a reaction which would give them away. I think this is an instance where it happened. Ken Clarke first darts a glance straight at the video camera (and perhaps at a monitor next to it showing my living room), then comes out with all kinds of mad things, while engaging in a facial display involving raising of eyebrows and lowering of eyelids. To me at the time, and also now, it looked as if he was selecting a context into which he could drop the word mad as a directed insult against me. 2054 -- ------->>http://www.NewsDemon.com<<<<<<------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access === === === Subject: MI5 Persecution: Ken Clarke (2), April 1997 (3277) Ken Clarke (2), April 1997 Certainty level: 30% The second of two video segments from the same programme, this shows Ken Clarke during the election campaign. He makes the following statement; we have a party, and we have a Cabinet which has produced a manifesto consistent with our policy of the last five years; people are challenging us on the basis there's been some monstrous conspiracy between all the politicians to guide us we know not where, we know where we're going, we wish to be a leading influence in the European Union It should be fairly obvious what I read into in the above sentences. The monstrous conspiracy between all the politicians could of course apply to the public perception of closer European integration, but I took it as referring to the conspiracy of politicians and media people against me. Again, facial expression comes into it; as Clarke speaks of the monstrous conspiracy his eyebrows twitch and it is clear that something or somebody is being made fun of. 3277 -- ------->>http://www.NewsDemon.com<<<<<<------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access === === === Subject: MI5 Persecution: Dimbleby / John Major, April 1997 (4500) Dimbleby / John Major, April 1997 Certainty level: 90% Dimbleby interviews John Major during the election campaign. Here is the exchange, regarding Neil Hamilton, the sleazy Tory candidate; Dimbleby: It's a direct quotation from what he said to Sir Gordon Downey and what he said to his local newspaper, the Knutsford Guardian. Major: Well, heaven forfend that I should doubt what the Knutsford Guardian actually said Dimbleby: Well I should hope so Major: Absolutely, it would be quite unforgivable to doubt the Knutsford Guardian What I find in this segment is an assonance between Knutsford and Nut or Nuts. I think Dimbleby deliberately invents the play on words, and says it clearly enough for Major to pick it up and repeat it. You can gauge Dimbleby's intent from his facial expression of false honesty when he uses the words Knutsford Guardian; and Major's reaction follows from his recognition of Dimbleby's intent; Major smiles and says it would be unforgivable to doubt the Knutsford Guardian. These are much clearer on the original video than on this Quicktime clip. 4500 -- ------->>http://www.NewsDemon.com<<<<<<------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access === === === Subject: MI5 Persecution: Channel Four TV News - 12/Feb/1999 (5723) Channel Four TV News - 12/Feb/1999 Certainty level: 100% I am positively, utterly, completely sure this item is about me. It's a bit subtle so the objective reader might not understand my certainty. Here is what happened. I was watching Channel Four News with Jon Snow, on the day Clinton got off (as it were) in the Monica-gate scandal. Snow said; [and we're anticipating that the President himself will make his] first comments after the trial in which he has now been cleared at around half- past seven. So we'll have more on the historic judgment, we'll also be considering [starts smiling] the winners and losers in this whole sorry saga. Now further doubts have been.... When Snow said half-past seven, I looked at the clock on the mantelpiece above the TV. Snow saw my glance, and in reaction to my glance at the clock, smiled. I think he was smiling at what he perceived as my self-importance. Usually when newscasters or radio presenters laugh at me, there is an excuse for their laughter; usually they manage to find some reason for my being funny; their amusement is blamed on me; it is my fault they are laughing. And so it was with this instance; Jon Snow thought it was funny that I should be so interested in seeing Clinton, and his half-smile while reading the words winners and losers expresses that. 5723 -- ------->>http://www.NewsDemon.com<<<<<<------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access === === === Subject: MI5 Persecution: Chris Tarrant - 10/March/1999 (6946) Chris Tarrant - 10/March/1999 Certainty level: 25% This one might be aimed at me, or it might be tinged with a whiff of intent, although I only give one chance in four for Tarrant's thoughts being aimed at me when he said this. During his Who wants to be a Millionaire TV show in March 1999, he said; if you're watching the show jumping up and down screaming at the telly, remember you could be here. You can either seek professional help or call us... The background is as follows. In early March I'd sent a quantity of emails to Capital FM, the London radio station where Mr Tarrant has his breakfast show. They were addressed to the email account which Mr Tarrant used to read emails posted on Capital's website. Capital objected to the quantity of emails - in fact, they contacted the Metropolitan Police's Computer Crime unit, who, in turn, felt my collar by giving me a verbal warning over the phone to cease this behaviour. The emails contained the words which I had heard Mr Tarrant speak in early 1994, namely; You know this bloke? He says we're trying to kill him. We should be done for attempted manslaughter. At the time of writing (May 1999), the Police have not told me what aspect of the emails was illegal, nor despite my repeated urging have they questioned Mr Tarrant about his remarks from 1994. Regarding the clip from Tarrant's show above. The Police spoke to me on the afternoon of Wednesday 10 March 1999. Tarrant's live show went out that same evening. The Police have told me that after speaking to me they told Capital FM that they'd spoken to me regarding the emails. So Tarrant would have known by the time of the show who'd sent the emails and why.... and it's quite possible that his remarks about seeking professional help were aimed at me personally following my attempts to persuade him to own up to his 1994 remarks. 6946 -- ------->>http://www.NewsDemon.com<<<<<<------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access === === === Subject: Re: Printing and the HP50G On Wed, 01 Aug 2007 12:49:00 +0000, tiwag, during a pipe dream babbled: >> Has anyone tried using a printer with this?

If thought of as an ARM ROM, however, then would the same issue come about again, when the ARM becomes obsolete? A company called IBM started turning out models of its System 360 computers in the 1960s; all of them executed the exact same instruction set, but in fact many of them contained emulators -- one model's microcode was in the form of decks of metallized 80-column punched cards, whose holes were read as varying capacitance, while other models had to first read their emulation code from a floppy disk (8-inch!), but still, the basic System 360 processor for which all assembly programmers The reward for this sacrifice of ultimate efficiency was a product line that remained compatible across all models, so that much programming investment was not lost, as it formerly used to be, every time that a new computer came out. Java (and Linux) based hand-held products in the past; perhaps the idea might be revived in the future? With the underlying technology likely to keep changing, it would seem that basing it on some long-lasting high-level language (and OS) might better preserve development investment, rather than basing it upon any specific currently popular processor, and fast, inexpensive modern processors can be looked upon as what makes it possible to afford to base products on higher-level standards, rather than having to squeeze out 100% efficiency from designs oriented around one specific processor, as was RPL based around the Saturn processor, using certain addresses which also happen to be instructions, making every object contain an actual ROM address to execute, and all the other minimalist design features which on the one hand make it efficient per CPU cycle, but on the other hand make the system crash upon the slightest mistake :) -- A Saturn car won't take you far; but a Saturn Five has sent men to the Moon http://www.centennialofflight.gov/essay/Dictionary/SATURN/DI162.htm === Subject: Re: Calculator defined <33v3c3thnc2biivlihnhp4hmmfs9uk2cfj@4ax.com> <46c22c38$0$30368$9b4e6d93@newsspool4.arcor-online.net> <46CA0B7F.2040901@nyet.nyet If thought of as an ARM ROM, however, then > would the same issue come about again, when the ARM becomes obsolete?
