grepping summary thanks to all who responded to my request for grepping under a dos environment with the following syntax : < grep - r < fn1 > < fn2 > fn3 > < where fn1 is the file with the set of strings to be grepped > < fn2 is the data-base > < fn3 is the output . > with the suggestions and help that i have got , i have literally " grepped " all about grep . thanks a lot i got a whole lot of answers which i am summarising below : 1 . the first was to use perl script to write my own grep : for both unix and dos , perl is a language that will easily allow to create a small program that will do what you ask . more information about perl , including free downloads for many environments , can be gotten from the perl language home page , http : / / www . perl . com / perl / index . html . 2 . the second suggestion was similar in nature : use awk and lex tools for the job . 3 . under unix environment three types of grep were proposed : a . egrep egrep - f fn1 fn2 > fn3 where fn1 is a file containing the search patterns ( one per line ) . if you only want to search for literal strings ( no special characters ) then you can use fgrep instead of egrep . do ' man grep ' for more details , b . fgrep fgrep - f patt-file - name < database-to - search > results-file will work , assuming patt-file - name is a file of _ strings _ ( regular expressions containing metacharacters are not allowed by fgrep . ) say man fgrep to get the details . one hitch however it will only match strings , not regular expressions . c . sgrep the sgrep utility ( not standard unix ) permits complex ( and nested ) patterns to be searched for . 4 . under dos the gnu tools are now available under dos ; gnu has only one grep and lets you do this ( according to the manual ) with grep - f f1 f2 > f3 this works and i have used it with success . thanks to andreas mengel incidentally egrep , sgrep and fgrep versions for dos exist and can be found at : ftp . rediris . es / mirror / simtelnet / gnu / gnuish / grep15 . zip thanks to susana sotelo docio 5 . another suggestion was to use sed sed - n - f < file > permits many patterns to be searched for ( with some problems when multiple matches occur on a line . 6 . another solution under dos was to grep for a large number of strings at once in a ` regular expression ' . a second alternative was to batch-file the operation , which i am using at present as a solution , but wanted something more functional . 7 . a commercial solution was also proposed : mks ( mortice - kern ) in canada makes a commercial set of unix apps and commands for use in dos and windows environments , including ksh , awk , grep , gres . their grep syntax is : grep - f pattfile file > output _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ many thanks to : martin wynne < eiamjw @ comp . lancs . ac . uk > will dowling < willd @ spectranet . ca > kevin bretonnel cohen < kevin @ cmhcsys . com > mark liberman < myl @ unagi . cis . upenn . edu > john e . koontz koontz @ boulder . nist . gov peter hamer < p . g . hamer @ nortel . co . uk > stuart luppescu < s-luppescu @ uchicago . edu > stephen p spackman < stephen @ softguard . com > d . lee < d . lee @ lancaster . ac . uk > chris culy < cculy @ blue . weeg . uiowa . edu > david palmer < palmer @ linus . mitre . org > shravan vasishth < vasishth @ ling . ohio-state . edu > susana sotelo doc ' io " < fesdocio @ usc . es > andreas mengel < mengel @ babylon . kgw . tu-berlin . de > for their prompt and helpful replies to my query .

hi all,thanks for the good information on the choice of phones, pda choices.as an aside i also saw that 3com have released a usb blootooth dongle.
that in a lptp combined with a 6310i with the blootooth (with HSCSD)
might be a nice thing to have (if they work!)
i'm doin up a little doc, so if anyone is interested i'll post my findings.cheers!mit bestem,Bernardino

accents : linguistnet in the news since victor raskin kindly kept me supplied with the responses he received to his july 6 query about the westfield accents petition , i was unusually well prepared to respond when a reporter meredith o'brien phoned me july 8 to ask if i had an opinion as a linguist on the matter ; when i told her about the linguistnet discussion of it , she was quite surprised and interested to learn of the existence of such a thing , and it turned out her ediotr was too , and the result was an article which is as much about linguistnet as about accents . the first such that i know of . i contacted victor to get his permission to use what i 'd gotten from him , but of course neither of us could contact quickly enough the many linguists whose responses i was faxing to the newspaper . i figured , and victor agreed , that messages sent to linguistnet are more or less public , and that in any case this was a very good and positive opportunity for us to do some educating of the public , which we are always looking for opportunities for . i certainly hope everyone who was quoted in the article agrees that i did the right thing in making the linguistnet discussion available to the reporter . i think the reporter did a good job of it . here 's the text of her article : springfield ( mass . ) union - news , westfield edition , friday , july 10 , 1992 , p . 1 linguists criticize accent position by meredith o'brien westfield - victor raskin , a linguistics professor at purdue university in indiana , was quite perplexed when he saw an article in his local newspaper about westfield 's petition to prohibit instructors with accents from teaching elementary school students . " has anybody else seen a weird piece in the newspaper about a measure taken by the greek mayor of a small massachusetts town with a very ethnically mixed population to prevent people with foreign accents to be employed as grade school teachers , " raskin asked subscribers to a linguistics computer network this week . " besides killing my own chances of ever teaching grade school over there , is this measure nonsensical linguistically ? " he queried . responses to raskin 's question have been coming into the world-wide computer network called " linguistnet " all week , some from as far away as the netherlands and australia . and those who did respond had nothing good to say about the petition . raskin is one of several linguists who have assailed the petition , which has also been chastized by education officials - - including the state secretary of education - - as unfounded and racist . the school committee 's curriculum subcommittee wednesday night unanimously rejected the petition because the committee 's attorney told them it was legally unenforceable . the full committee will vote on the issue at its next meeting which has not yet been scheduled . the petition 's organizer , laura lee whitten , had no comment on the subcommittee 's decision . meanwhile , the eight linguists who called into " linguistnet " on their computers concluded that parents should not be worried about their elementary school children acquiring an accent from their teachers because the chances of that happening are next to impossible . network subscriber , barbara partee , chairwoman of the linguistics department at the university of massachusetts , concurs with the conclusions of her colleagues . " what research exists on this matter makes it very clear that it would be nearly impossible to be influenced by the accent of a grade school teacher " , she said wednesday . " young children , almost universally , pick up their accents from their peers . " she said if people looked at immigrant families where the children were born in this country , they would find that the children have not adopted their parents ' accent . many others agreed . " i used to live in boston , where you can cut the local accent with a knife , and played the organ for a church in arlington , mass . , wher

affricates - - one segment or two the recent query and summary by larry trask on german affricates makes me think of the fact that , unless i am mistaken , it is perfectly easy to hear the difference between one - and two-segment stop-fricative sequences at least in some cases . polish has a contrast of this sort at least in initial position , where the words spelled _ trzy _ and _ czy _ differ only in that the former has a cluster , the second an affricate . also , if you compare the english way of saying _ ts _ with the german way of saying _ z _ ( or the polish or the yiddish , etc . ) , there is an audible difference . most english speakers ' rendition of _ matzah _ ( or _ matzoh _ ) for example sounds quite different from the yiddish or polish , but ( and this is also very suggestive ) i have found a few am . engl . speakers ( not all of them jewish , by the way ) who have the affricate , i . e . , one-segment / ts / in this and perhaps some other yiddish borrowings but the two segment / t / + / s / otherwise , so that these speakers do not rhyme _ matzah _ and _ lots o ( f ) _ , whereas most speakers do . finally , i think some speakers have a one-segment / ts / in hit ya , but a two-segment / t / + / s / in hits ya , although most speakers i have asked refuse to admit anything but the nonpalatalized , non-affricated pronunciation in the second case . alexis mr

that I've spent much more time repackaging the darn thing than actually
testing the functionalities or trying to hear the great sound quality
people seem to think it outputs... but hey, some of you will benefit from
that, right? ;-)I've got the whole thing working on a Valhalla system, but the packages
should easily install or at least recompile on Enigma, Limbo/(null) and
maybe others, who knows ;-)Here are quick instructions for those of you that wish to try it out :
- Recompile the "alsa-driver" source rpm for your running kernel
  (you can install the binary package if you're using the i686 2.4.18-10)
- Install this "alsa-driver" package
- Install the "alsa-libs" package
- Install the "alsa-utils" packageNow go to this URL and find out what you need to change in your
/etc/modules.conf file to replace the default OSS driver loading :
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/
(very complete and very good documentation!)
Hopefully you'll see that your card *is* supported ;-)Reboot, or remove by hand your current sound modules (you'll probably need
to stop many applications to free the sound resource...) "by hand" and
insert the new ones. If all is well you've got ALSA working! ("dmesg" to
check is a good idea), you now just need to adjust the volume levels with
e.g. aumix and alsamixer because everything is muted by default.With "aplay" you can already test files to see if you hear anything. You
can also install the XMMS plugin (seems to make my XMMS segfault on exit...
hmmm, but maybe it's another plugin) to listen to your good ol' mp3
files... that's it!It really isn't complicated, and has never been from what I see. The only
thing I disliked was to have to install from source... but as I can't
imagine myself doing that ;-) I've repackaged everything cleanly. Even the
/dev entries are included in the rpm package (and *not* created by an ugly
%post script, I insist!) and seamlessly integrate into the /etc/makedev.d
structure. There are also a few other noticeable differences with the
default provided ALSA spec files, for example I've split alsa-lib's
development files into an alsa-lib-devel package and included static
libraries... there are others of course (oh yes, the kernel version against
which the "alsa-driver" package is compiled gets neatly integrated in the
rpm release, so does the architecture!).I'm open to any comments or suggestions about these packages!Download :
http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/testing/alsa/Current spec files :
http://freshrpms.net/builds/alsa-driver/alsa-driver.spec
http://freshrpms.net/builds/alsa-lib/alsa-lib.spec
http://freshrpms.net/builds/alsa-utils/alsa-utils.spec
(All others, patches etc. : http://freshrpms.net/builds/ )MatthiasPS: As an extra bonus, I've also recompiled xine with alsa support! Simply
run "xine -A alsa09" and off you go! It may even support 5.1 and S/PDIF ;-)--

phonemicity of writing i would like to get some estimate of what percentage of the world 's written languages are represented orthographically in a phonemic manner . more specifically , how many written languages are such that one can predict the phonological properties of a word - - - including stress , accent or tone - - - merely by consulting the string of symbols used to write that word , and without further information , such as the morphological structure of the word ? for a language whose writing system is largely phonemic , one could write down a set of rules for word pronunciation , and in the ideal case the number of rules would be within an order of magnitude of the number of graphemes . ( a few lexical exceptions do n't matter , as long as there are n't hundreds of them . ) i am leaving the sense of ` phoneme ' intentionally vague : normally a phonemic written representation implies that one can predict the surface phonemic representation from the written form of the word , but i would be perfectly happy considering a system to be phonemic if some more abstract level of phonological representation were represented , from which the surface phonemic representation could be predicted by regular phonological rules / principles . ( i should also note , to clarify the question further , that i am interested primarily in the correspondence between the written form and the spoken form for the the standard variet ( y , ies ) of the language , which the written form presumably reflects to some degree : i am not interested ( at the moment ) in dialects of the language which deviate to varying degrees from the standard . ) so , under this definition , spanish would presumably count as very phonemic since one can nearly always predict the pronunciation of a word , including its stress , from the orthography . romanian is less phonemic since while the actual set of phonemes in a word is mostly determinable by the set of graphemes used ( with the representation of glides being slight source of complication ) , the placement of stress requires some knowledge of the morphological class of the word ( following work of ioana chitoran ) . english is presumably among the least phonemic , since the ` regular rules ' of pronunciation are themselves quite complex , and there are many lexical exceptions . the particular classification of the writing system as logographic , moraic or segmental is unimportant : in principle chinese writing could be classed as phonemic ( albeit with a rather large set of graphemes ) , but for the fact that especially among the more common characters there are quite a few with pronunciation ambiguities which can only be resolved using lexical information . i am familiar with several of the recent books on writing systems : but while these typically contain in-depth analyses of particular systems , as far as i can tell , nobody has done a survey of this kind . ( if on the contrary , someone can point me to a survey that answers this question , i would be most grateful . ) so , i would be very interested in getting as much information related to this question on as many languages as people are sufficiently familiar with . i think i already know the answer to these questions for the more familiar western european languages ( including some less familiar ones like irish and welsh ) , as well as romanian , russian , hebrew , arabic , chinese , japanese and malagasy . i would be particularly interested in knowing about languages for which writing systems have only recently been developed , or for which the spelling system has recently undergone a massive restructuring : conventional wisdom has it that in such cases the writing system should be very phonemic , but perhaps that is not always true . please send any replies to me , and if there are a sufficient number i will post the results of this survey to the list . - richard sproat linguistics research department at&t bell laboratories | tel ( 908 ) 582-5296 600 mo

> contributing to increasing global temperature.
There are a number of reasons to think that CO2 is not important to
controlling global temperature and that much of the CO2 increase may not
be anthropogenic. Some recent research points worth mentioning:Recent high-resolution studies of historical CO2 concentrations and
temperatures over hundreds of thousands of years have shown a modest
correlation between the two. In a number of cases, CO2 level increases
are not in phase with temperature increases and actually trail the
increase in temperature by a short time i.e. increases in temperature
preceded increases in CO2 concentrations. The more studies that are done
of the geological record, the more it seems that CO2 concentrations are
correlated with temperature increases, but are not significantly
causative. There is a lot of evidence that CO2 levels are regulated in a
fairly stable fashion.  I don't believe anyone really has an
authoritative answer as to exactly how this works yet.With respect to absolute CO2 concentrations, it is also important to
point out that our best data to date suggests that they follow a fairly
regular cycle with a period of about 100,000 years.  At previous cycle
peaks, the concentrations were similar to what they are now.  If this
cycle has any validity (and we only have good data for 4-5 complete
cyclical periods, but which look surprisingly regular in shape and
time), then we should be almost exactly at a peak right now.  As it
happens, current CO2 concentrations are within 10% of other previous
cyclical concentration peaks for which we have good data. In other
words, we may be adding to the CO2 levels, but it looks a lot like we
would be building a molehill on top of a mountain in the historical
record.  At the very least, there is nothing anomalous about current CO2
concentrations.Also, CO2 levels interact with the biosphere in a manner that ultimately
affects temperature.  Again, the interaction is not entirely
predictable, but this is believed to be one of the regulating negative
feedback systems mentioned above.Last, as greenhouse gases go, CO2 isn't particularly potent, although it
makes up for it in volume in some cases.  Gases such as water and
methane have a far greater impact as greenhouse gases on a per molecule
basis.  Water vapor may actually be the key greenhouse gas, something
that CO2 only indirectly effects through its interaction with the
biosphere.CO2 was an easy mark for early environmentalism, but all the recent
studies and data I've seen gives me the impression that it is largely a
passenger on the climate ride rather than the driver.  I certainly don't
think it is a healthy fixation if we're actually interested in
understanding warming trends.Cheers,-James Rogers

re : tax reserve on allegheny peakers the reserve referred to relates to sales and use tax ( " sales / use tax " ) liability related to the purchase and use by the peaker project companies of various equipment ( i . e . , turbines in illinois and transformers in tennessee and indiana ) used to construct the peaker facilities in illinois , indiana and tennessee . enron bears this tax obligation under the sales agreement pursuant to which we sold the peakers to allegheny ( effectively , this tax liability is a " pre - acquisition date " tax liability that we , as the seller , are responsible for ) . typically , the equipment used to construct the peakers would be assessed sales / use tax when purchased by the project company that built the respective peaker and that tax would effectively be passed on to the buyer in a sale such as that to allegheny . the ews tax department structured the acquisition of the respective equipment to either avoid the sales / use tax or to spread the cost of such tax over time ( for example , a sales - leaseback strategy was employed in illinois to spread the cost of the sales / use tax over many years as lease payments are made rather than pay it up front ) . ultimately , we benefitted from this since we did not use as much cash in constructing the peakers and earned more from the disposition of the peakers than we otherwise would have since the counterparty would have ( and we believe did in the specific case of allegheny ) modelled the cost of the peakers as including the full current payment of such sales / use tax . that said , we have requested that a portion of the disposition proceeds from the sale of the peakers be reserved until the applicable statute of limitations related to the types of strategies that were employed to achieve the above described results expires since there is risk that our position could be challenged and , if challenged , there is a risk that we would not prevail . matt is out until may 8 ( he is a recent father of a baby girl ) but upon his return is available with me to discuss this matter with whomever you would like . matt has worked closely with don and others in the generation asset group and has assured me that the suggested reserve is a sound ( not overly conservative nor liberal ) position . best regards . steve . - - - - - original message - - - - - from : kitchen , louise sent : monday , april 30 , 2001 3 : 18 pm to : matthew f gockerman / hou / ect @ enron cc : stephen h douglas / hou / ect @ enron ; don miller / hou / ect @ enron subject : tax reserve on allegheny peakers i notice that our gain has substantially decreased due to a tax reserve increase of $ 5 m . why has this been added and why so recently ? regards louise

mg intergration there are clearly a large number of people who need to know what is happening on the integration of the mg metals business and a large number of fluid teams working on different aspects of the project ; however , most issues related to the integration process will only be of interest to a subset of the people involved . we currently have two main forums for information sharing available to members of the integration team : the weekly newsletter produced by fiona grant in pr , which from 30 june onwards will be sent to eel management and the heads of those departments represented on the integration team . a weekly meeting on friday mornings from 8 am to 9 am in nwl 006 , which has been put in place to provide team leaders with an opportunity to update the entire integration team on their top two or three issues for the past and / or coming week . for now , i expect the weekly update and the weekly meetings to meet the information needs of the integration team . if you feel this is not adequate , then let either myself or fiona grant know and we ' ll do a re - think on the subject . to this end , and in the interests of ensuring that we conclude our discussion in the allotted time , the following are a few organisational points i would like everyone to bear in mind when attending the friday morning meeting : attendees should distinguish between presenters and audience at the weekly meeting . presenters should attend if at all possible and , in the event they are unable to attend , should nominate a replacement for the meeting ( replacements should be notified to esther gerratt in advance of the friday morning meeting if possible ) . for the time being , presenters and their designated areas are : - eric gadd commercial and acquisition progress - amita gosalia eol - justin boyd legal - toby knight premises - barry sangster it infrastructure - bob campbell it applications - richard sage middle and back offices and project management - lloyd fleming rac - tim davies credit - anne edgley finance - anne hicks cash management - janine juggins tax - andrea kerch us gaap and due diligence - nigel sellens hr - fiona grant pr - bruce garner business development as this is intended to be an " update " - only meeting , any unresolved substantive issues are to be taken off - line and the resolution reported the following week . lastly , i would request that presenters focus on communicating , in an efficient manner , things which affect other functions within the integration process . doing so will assit other presenters in relaying the information presented at the meeting to other personnel in their respective areas . i hope you find this useful . we want to keep the information flowing as we continue the integration process , but at the same time we need to make sure we use our time wisely and efficiently . regards , eric

re : 3 . 396 chomsky citations i would like to second mark durie 's concerns with what he calls a " pre-generative black hole in modern citation patterns " . it seems a real problem to me that so many of the younger scholars trained in the chomskian school of linguistics are almost completely ignorant of any work done outside that school . on the other hand it seems those who do have a solid knowledge of the history of ideas in linguistics and have an awareness of typological diversity and have worked seriously with a number of languages tend to produce superior work . a prime example is the work of michael silverstein , whose work is grounded on a very thorough knowledge of the work of sapir , boas , saussure , bloomfield , etc . , as well as experience doing detailed work with american indian and australian languages , as well as a good knowledge of work done in the philosophy of language .

rants about finding jobs, java vs C, what makes a good programmer, etc. Okay, hmm, I thought twice about this, but what the hey, jobs are hard to come by. There's a company hiring in Mountain View, looking for a few good hackers, no Java, no GUI, not even C++ -- just C and Linux and networking and good old stuff like that. They just raised a wad of money and they're looking for a few "really good programmers", says the CTO. I know him -- very smart guy. Drives too fast, though, for what that's worth.Joe Bob says "check it out". I'd be happy to pass on your resume, or you can send it straight to them.

fw : pma ' s bill , the following is a message that heather sent to me after we talked about this deal and she did some additional research . a synopsis of this deal : geir entered the deal on 4 - 24 - 01 . buy $ 320 , sell $ 30 , creating a $ 290 . 00 per mw charge to your books you went back on 4 - 27 - 01 and corrected the sel price to $ 300 , changing the $ 290 . 00 charge to your books to a $ 20 per mw charge to your book . since this is an intra - month change , portland risk should recognize this when the compare it to their liqrec report and they should recognize a $ 108 , 000 credit back in your pma ' s . ( since the change was done before month - end , this never hit settlements to pull thru for dpr because by the time settlements looked at it , it was correct . ) my point here is that you will see this credit in your pma ' s , you just haven ' t yet . with the transition of people in risk , one of the functions that got delayed was the true - up between the liqrec report and the end of the month intra - month changes report , which is where your variance is sitting now . risk is aware that this is out there and they are doing their best to true these types of things up . as of today , they are working back to january . right now , they can ' t give me a timeline of when this will be recognized , but please be assured that they are working on it . heather has requested that if you have specific questions , that you direct them to her . she will also let you know as soon as she has a good idea of when they will be caught up . please also feel free to ask me any questions about the processes . i ' ll help you in any way that i can . thanks for pointing this out to us . anything that can help us to stay on top of these processes is always a plus . virginia also concerning w - bom 590753 . what happens when a deal is changed in the same month after the flow date - risk can calculate the difference and add it to the liquidation value . or what happens is that we re - run the reports for customers and desk - to - desk and compare to another report called the liqrec ( liquidation reconcilation ) the differences we should run through the books . john is working on that . he is starting in jan . - so you can let bill know that yes it has not come through yet - and risk will enter that . i will give him a better timeline of when that will happen when i know . thanks for all of your help on this virginia . heather

Strange.I had the double IRQ problem with the 3c509 combo,
and turning pnp off in the card's firware fixed it.As far as I remember the problem I was having was
that the driver was assigning an IRQ to the card's
 RJ45 port and then another IRQ to it's BNC port,
 and then referenced the card via the second assigned irq,
 and turning off PnP in the card's firmware fixed that.You must be having a different error
Else
PnP is still turned on.
<>
Making sure the IRQ and io space you assign
the card in it's firmware is not in use by
any other ISA devices.
