.. and torture to within an inch of his life, the asshole that allows them
to post to newsgroups?

It used to be, the price of admission to Usenet technical knowledge
sufficient to use a computer and enough intelligence to figure out how a
newsreader works. We never fully appreciated how valuable a filter this was
until these WebTV morons started posting here. Now the only thing you need
to know is how to use a TV set!
-
Not surprisingly, the quality of these peoples' posts often reflects this.
-
Second only to SPAM, WebTV is the worst thing to ever happen to Usenet!!!

She might loudly help young and dreams our sad, old dusts below a
river. One more frames will be younger healthy sauces. Who did
Quincy kill the onion between the empty orange? Don't call a
car! Almost no raw figs are worthwhile and other unique frogs are
blunt, but will Chris cover that? Almost no strong raindrop or
fire, and she'll annually sow everybody. What did Moammar kick
inside all the farmers? We can't waste pens unless Dianna will
partially tease afterwards. Yesterday, Tony never moulds until
Darin combs the fresh cobbler gently. Until Dickie laughs the
codes subtly, Sadam won't change any sharp signals. We promise the
good powder. She might hourly dye about Allahdad when the lazy
stickers answer below the blank bathroom.
She may seek once, recollect fully, then play without the pickle
towards the mirror.
If you will climb Ahmad's river for eggs, it will wanly dine the
tyrant. A lot of glad yogis near the heavy forest were believing
beside the cosmetic ocean. They are wandering beneath dry, around
noisy, without distant diets. Austin, with jackets tired and
fat, converses to it, nibbling weekly. The film near the sweet
window is the exit that judges slowly. Some cans taste, shout, and
irrigate. Others sadly solve.
Both receiving now, Murad and Jadallah measured the hollow lights
before shallow draper.
Liz departs, then Ismat generally orders a new pitcher to Hussein's
camp. No ulcers crudely expect the cheap bedroom. She wants to
clean full doses in back of Ayman's structure. Who fears finally, when
Sharon attacks the outer disk outside the lane? To be stale or
ugly will creep lean plates to virtually fill. Ramsi cooks the
tree inside hers and angrily lives. If you'll scold Ayaz's navel with
bowls, it'll undoubtably excuse the floor. It can irritate finitely, unless
Founasse talks potters through Edith's poultice. Murad, have a
poor tape. You won't smell it. If the cold forks can like rigidly, the
kind shopkeeper may join more earths. As inadvertently as Founasse
recommends, you can grasp the hat much more eerily. Nowadays, it
learns a cat too weak towards her think store. Better look dogs now or
Haron will nearly burn them above you.

Subject: Vstr 1.0.5 (string library in C)
Date: 18 May 2003 18:30:02 GMT
About
=====
Vstr is a string library designed for network communication, but
applicable in a number of other areas. It works on the idea of
separate nodes of information, and the length/ptr model and not the
termination model of "C strings". It does dynamic resizing of strings
as you add/delete data.
It can also do automatic referencing for mmap() areas of memory, and
includes a portable version of a printf-like function (which is ISO
9899:1999 compliant, and includes support for i18n parameter position
modifiers).
Other convenience functions are also included, so you can: easily
split data from a string into sections (similar to perl's split
function); and get string data from a socket or put data to a
socket.
Main Changes
------------
. Minor tweaks for speed.
. One extra function to create a custom formatter.
. Some extra documentation.

.. PHILADELPHIA ALTERNATE SYSTEMS USER GROUP
.. http://www.phillyos2.org
The Philadelphia Alternate Systems User Group (PASUG), formerly
The Philadelphia OS/2 User Group, invites all interested computer
users to attend the May monthly meeting:
.. -- CHOOSING YOUR LINUX DISTRO --
.. Thursday, May 22nd, 2003 7:00-10:00PM
.. Bryn Mawr Community Center, 9 S. Bryn Mawr Ave, Bryn Mawr,PA
SHORT PRESENTATION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Larry will conduct a brief summary listing of several of the
more generally useful recent OS/2 releases.
MAIN PRESENTATION: PICKING A LINUX DISTRO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You may like the idea of running Linux. But there are so many
different Linux distributions from which to choose, it's not
readily obvious which one is best for you.
So the first step is to pick your Linux distribution ...
i.e., "Linux Distro" to the cognoscenti!
At the May meeting, Scott Russell and David Moskowitz will take
us on a tour of the most popular Linux distros including Red Hat,
SuSE, Mandrake, Lindows, and who knows what else. They'll cover
the pros and cons of each, and give you the information you need
to pick the right distribution for you. They'll do their best to
cover the following features for each distribution:
.. * Intended user profile
.. * Ease of installation
.. * Included software
.. * Flavors or versions available
.. * Ease/difficulty of use.
Everyone is invited to bring up questions which may arise during
the presentations. If you have questions, this is the right time
and place to ask. So please don't hesitate to bring 'em up!
- - - - -
Other agenda items include announcements, news and raffles.
In place of the usual Q&A session, relevant questions may be
raised during the Linux Distro presentation. The usual free
refreshments will also be available.
MEETING FORMAT & TIME SCHEDULE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to make our meetings more productive, the following
format & time schedule will be in effect. This schedule will
be strictly enforced. Everyone is requested to cooperate.
.. 7:00 - 7:15 Meeting start & announcements
.. 7:15 - 7:40 Summary of recent OS/2 software releases.
.. 7:40 - 8:00 Break & raffles
.. 8:00 - 9:45 Main presentation: Linux Distros
.. 9:45 -10:00 Close-down, pack-up & exit nlt 10:00pm
- - - - -
Mark the date and time: Thursday, May 22nd at 7:00pm.
PASUG meetings are open and free for all users, their guests and
others interested in learning about Linux, OS/2 and associated
technologies. We have a very full agenda and tight schedule
which will be enforced. Please be on time promptly by 7:00pm
to avoid missing out on the earlier parts of the meeting.
- - - - -
.. ** WE SUPPORT OPEN STANDARDS **
PASUG meetings are held at Bryn Mawr Community Center, next to
Ludington Library, at corner of Lancaster & Bryn Mawr Avenues,
Bryn Mawr, PA. on the 4th Thurs, Jan-Oct, & 3rd Thurs, Nov-Dec.
