Bulletin Board #30
July 9, 1997
Just a few quick items for this issue. The first is a request for assistance and the second is responses to my inquiry for information.
As soon as I get back in the local time zone (from the Hong Kong time) I'll get something else together for the BULLETIN BOARD.
And finally, if you sent me an e-mail and didn't get a response, please resend it. I lost all my incoming e-mail Sunday night. I tried reinstalling Eudora Pro when I should have been sleeping and forgot to set aside the in, out and trash folders before reinstalling.

Subject: Digital Video/Photo Admissibility
Tim,
I'm trying to research a problem. Please put this on your net, as I want as much input as I can get.
Is anyone aware of any legal precedents regarding the acceptance of digital photo and/or video imaging in court or any legal type proceedings. I'm told that the ability to manipulate the digital images has caused some legal problems. Is anyone out there aware of any pro or con regarding this
subject.
Through Tim or direct to me. Thanks

TSCM Export coses Responses
From: DJFerguson@swri.edu
Subject: re: Codes for TSCM equipment
Tim:
You have to be quite liberal in the translation of specifications with the
Schedule B numbers. Concentrate on the "other" categories.
Look at the following categories:
8517 ~ Telephone
8518 ~ Audio Amps
8520 ~ Magnetic Recording Equipment
8525 ~ Transmitters
8527 ~ Receivers
8527.90.8075 is a very good number also 8543.89.6000
You can also contact the international division of the spec analyzer manufacturer and they can provide you with the proper Schedule B number for their equipment.
Otherwise you usually can find what you want, with a very liberal
translation, in the "OTHER" categories.
good luck,
don

probably has them. Dick Heffernan in Branford, CT @ 203-488-2235

(technaphobia?).

"Bullet's"
Does anyone know how to get into the computer software (Netscape, etc.) to remove a "bullet"---that is the "marker" that identifies you have visited a site and it automatically opens to certain areas. I want to revisit a site and look up vendors in other countries for a security product. It identified me as having researched for the US and will not allow me to search other countries now.

Subject: FW: Fwd: PRAYER TO START THE DAY
So far today, God, I've done all right. I haven't gossiped,
haven't lost my temper, haven't been greedy, or grumpy,
nasty or self-centered. I'm really glad about that.
But in a few minutes, God, I'm going to get out of bed,
and then I'm going to need a lot of help. Thank You.

Sheeze!! No wonder I never got that promotion!!!
"Since my last report, he has reached rock bottom and has started to dig."
"His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of morbid curiosity."
"I would not allow this associate to breed."
"This associate is really not so much of a has-been, but more of a definitely won't be."
"Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap."
"When she opens her mouth, it seems that this is only to change whichever foot was
previously in there."
"He would be out of his depth in a parking lot puddle."
"This young lady has delusions of adequacy."
"She sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them."
"This associate should go far - and the sooner he starts, the better."
"This associate is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot."
The Confessional
Author Unknown
A drunk was staggering down the main street of town. Somehow he managed to make it up the stairs to the cathedral and into the building, where he crashed from pew to pew, finally making his way to a side aisle and into a confessional.
A priest had been observing the man's sorry progress and figuring the fellow was in need of some assistance, proceeded to enter his side of the confessional. But his attention was rewarded only by a lengthy silence.
Finally he asked, "May I help you, my son?"
"I dunno," came the drunk's voice from behind the partition. "You got any toilet paper on your side?!?"
