Dear Friend:
With a couple of minutes of your time I'm going to show you
how you can turn $6 and 6 stamps into thousands of dollars. Don't
get skeptical yet, just read the letter and then decide if you want
to invest a lousy $6!! This is mY second time. doing this and I can't
beileve it but it really does work.
HOW TO TURN SIX DOLLARS INTO SIX THOUSAND:
: READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! IT DOES
WORK!
: I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little
: while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now,
: and came across an article similar to this that said you could make
: thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of
: $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but
: like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said
: that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the
: article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of
: the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups.
: (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it
: over, and talking to a few people first, I thought about trying it. I
: figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00,
: right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!?...
: within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I
: figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my
: first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had
: made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over
: $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I
: have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in
: rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more
: than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most
: importantly, WHY it works... Also, make sure you print a copy of this
: article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it.
: I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you
: will start making more money than you thought possible by doing
: something so easy!
: Suggestion: Read this entire message carefully! (print it out or
: download it.) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come
: in!
: It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus
: postage)
: IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not
: illegal; and it is 99% no risk - it really works!
: If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive
: extraordinary dividends.
: PLEASE NOTE:
: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be
: yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of
: the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its
: success by carefully adhering to the instructions.
: You will now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business
: your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in
: the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large corporations are
: happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the money made
: from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from
: people like you and me asking to be included in that list.
: Here are the 4 easy steps to success:
: STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on
: each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST."
Now
: get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of
: paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent
: thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal
: them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of
: paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00
: bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
: LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for
: it! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and a little worried
: about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S.
: Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed
: legal. Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
: #1) Frank Stevens
P.O. Box 264
Tupelo, OK 74572
: #2) Jason Williamson
202 Park Dr.
Ada, OK 74820
: #3) Dennis E. Ribble
RR3 Box 32-1B
Benton, PA 17814
: #4) Tim Baldwin
RR3 Box 304
Inwood, WV 25428
: #5) Lynn Reese
3212 Mesa Ave.
Clifton, CO 81520
:#6)William Strong
9312 Canterbury Riding
Laurel, MD 20723
: STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move
: the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR
: Name as number 6 on the list.
: STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
: close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at
: least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All
: you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you
: make! You won't get very much unless you post like crazy. :)
: This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18
: Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws.
: Keep a copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money,
: you can use it again, and again.
: PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of
the
: honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully
: adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you are of
: integrity, the program will continue and the money that so many
: others have received will come your way.
: NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you,
: either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you.
: This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might
: be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper to reduce the risk
: of mail theft.)
: So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed,
: six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List
: Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list
: geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will
: be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for
: only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send
: it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business!
: ---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO
NEWSGROUPS------------
: Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
: posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and
: drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy'
: from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the
: computer's memory.
: Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top
: of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will
: paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name
: to the list. Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If
: you want to do your postings in different settings, you'll always
: have this file to go back to.
: Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for
: various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
: discussions.)
: Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new
: message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste
: from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that
: everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a
: particular group, click the post message button. You're done with
: your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is
: jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of
: it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER,
THE
: MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY
YOU WILL MAKE! BUT
YOU
: HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin
receiving
: money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to
: rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If
: you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as
: the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE
ADDRESSES ARE
: CORRECT.**
: Each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM
200
: postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each
: of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each
: make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies
each, I
: will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn
: around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only
receive 5
: replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here is the
: fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with
: my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me
: $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200
: newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200
: newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original
: investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on
the
: list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send
: out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6
: again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is: do you
: realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the
: internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are
: now!! So, can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think
: so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no
: one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that
: happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest
: people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are
: willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new
: users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual
: internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really
: work.
: Best of luck to all of you and your new found riches.

I believe you can get all you need from ftp.cdrom.com or ftp.redhat.com
I'm not exactly sure which files you need but if you are planning on
downloading via a modem I hope you have a real good internet plan and a
week where you dont need your phone.
here is a listing from the top level dir of my RedHat 5.2 cdrom
I believe you will at LEAST need the entire contents of the RedHat
directory which contains the RPM and BASE directories.

It is not a terrible question.
It appears that others prefer the evocative "It's not like free beer,
it's like free speech!" and prefer to *ignore* economic analysis or
outcomes.
That might arguably represent an "anti-bourgeois" position.
I would argue that useful results *can* be done by using cost/benefit
analysis in conjunction with free software.
Unfortunately, there is a tendancy for analysis that uses terms like
"communist," "bourgeois," "proletariat" and the like to invoke
something very near to Godwin's Law (usually associated with bringing
up comparisons between [X] and (Adolf Hitler|Nazi Germany)), which is
nicely worded thus:
"There are parallels to be drawn between the FSF/GNU/Linux and
Marxism, but if you've shown one thing clearly by your post, it is
that even the mention of Marx is too politically charged to allow
any such parallels to be profitably discussed."
(I now wish I had an attribution for this.)
At any rate, I don't think it's provable that there are
"anti-economic" elements. There *is* a preference in the community to
discuss the political side; this does not clearly establish a shunning
of economics, but more likely a preference to look at ethics rather
than simply looking at utilitarian reasoning.
*I* would like to establish some economic dialogue surrounding free
software, but that may just be me...

Hi!
Think you just installed the downloadable quake2 files for linux. (maybe
about 10 megs?). of course you have to install the rest (200megs) from a
quake2 CD by just copying the folder \install\data\ in your quake folder
on your linux system.

Please do so. I don't believe you'll find an undocumented reset
instruction. You will probably find code that sets up BIOS to do a warm
boot and then asks the keyboard controller to reset the CPU. Later methods
used special I/O ports and multiple CPU faults.

I installed RH 5.2 a few weeks ago and have not had any major problems
yet. However, I realized in the last few days that the "man" command is
not working and I don't remember it ever working. It gives me:
$ man ls
No manual entry for ls
$ man rm
No manual entry for rm
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the man-pages RPM and it didn't
change anything. Do I need to add something to my $PATH so it knows
where to find the man pages? I am running the BASH shell with KDE 1.1
and kernel 2.0.36. Thanks in advance!

i don't think you understand stallman's vision at all. it's no
accident that the gpl does what you say it does. it's not a mistake,
it's not an oversight. rms would be happy if money was no longer
motivation for work, and gnu software is the result of that vision.
he thinks there would be more innovation without the profit motive.
in this sense, he's like a contemporary william morris. (and the
liberty dept. store leeches off morris' work just as people ripped off
rms before the gpl).
the collectivisation analogy is ludicrous. no one has to use gnu
stuff. you can go roll your own for-profit, capitalistic software and
use it, but it's sheer idiocy to expect people like rms, who believe
that that is a bad way to make & distribute software to want to
cooperate. if you like russian analogies, here's one for you: what
you demand is akin to the western powers asking the red army to
cooperate with general kornilov. it's not going to happen, so don't
waste your time asking.
the mere existence of this argument about this is telling. that
people want the gpl to change so that profit is possible indicates
that the gnu philosophy was absolutely correct. there seems to be a
desire for gnustuff. if property rights and profit are so wonderful,
why haven't they produced software that makes us all forget about gnu,
rms, and linus? if you fear that gnu stuff is creeping socialism that
will eventually achieve total world domination, my advice to you is to
quit trying to argue with rms and his evil minions and try to make
safe-for-property-rights stuff that will make people forget about gnu.
