C is the basis for much of what we still use in computing... C, C++, Java, C#... the UNIX operating system and it's principals can be found in every modern OS in some form or another. it is still found alive and well in commercial versions of UNIX and of course in Linux, not to mention MacOS and even Microsoft Windows. this email was created, processed and distributed by the operating system and programming language developed by Ritchie... I wonder if the media will recognize this loss as much as they did jobs? john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -o|||||o- fahrvergnugen y'all Snohomish, Washington - where Jeeps and VWs don't rust, they mold http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 TRSTGZS http://JohnMeister.com HTTP://WAGONEERS.COM http://fotomeister.us - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2011 12:02:19 -0700 From: Jim Blair Subject: fsj: Anyone have late model Honcho decals? http://theamcforum.com/forum/197983-hOncho-decals_topic33425.html Phoenix Graphix is currently in search of unapplied OEM 1979-81 Jeep Honcho decals.

I've had three students over the years that have worked with him as well. He was well respected and liked. In my book he made a more significant contribution to the world of computing and humanity in general than did the much wealthier s jobs... not finding articles about dmr saying he was a tyrant, or greedy, or anything but a brilliant computer scientist. john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -o|||||o- fahrvergnugen y'all Snohomish, Washington - where Jeeps and VWs don't rust, they mold http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 TRSTGZS http://JohnMeister.com HTTP://WAGONEERS.COM http://fotomeister.us - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On Thu, 13 Oct 2011, Richard Welty wrote: # On 10/13/11 4:52 AM, Renaud (Ron) Olgiati wrote: # > On Thursday 13 Oct 2011 05:37 my mailbox was graced by a message from john # > who # > wrote: # > > I wonder if the media will recognize this loss as much as they did jobs? # > Of course not, since he was not praised in the media for making millions of # > dollars. # > # > But the millions who use computers in reasonable ease and good security # > thanks # > to his work will remember him. # > # nice guy, too. i used to trade email with him about saabs. # # richard # ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2011 22:32:13 -0700 (PDT) From: john Subject: fsj: carbon dioxide, just another reason for another tax got this from a friend in Ireland... seems that with the "new" science of carbon dioxide being a pollutant, they have a new tax revenue source... wonder how long before our elected officials will realize the gold mine in our breath... junk science is made possible and encouraged by our media and education system... ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -o|||||o- fahrvergnugen y'all Snohomish, Washington - where Jeeps and VWs don't rust, they mold http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 TRSTGZS http://JohnMeister.com HTTP://WAGONEERS.COM http://fotomeister.us - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Stephen Rigley Thanks to the "Green" party, the motor tax system here in Ireland changed to a CO2 emissions based system for cars registered in 2008 onwards. Band A: http://www.irishlinks.co.uk/lowest-carbon-car-tax-ireland.htm cars that produce 0-120g/km CO2 - 104 euro road tax; Band B: cars that produce 121g - 140g/km CO2 - 156 euro road tax; Band C: cars that produce 141g-155g/km CO2 - 302 euro road tax; Band D: cars that produce 156g-170g/km CO2 - 447 euro road tax; Band E: cars that produce 171g-190g/km CO2 - 630 euro road tax; Band F: cars that produce 191g-225g/km CO2 - 1,050 euro road tax; Band G: cars that produce 226g/km CO2 and over - 2,100 euro road tax Compare this to the "old" system based on engine size : Engine Size cc Annual Car Tax in Euro Not over 1,000 172 1,001 to 1,100 259 1,101 to 1,200 286 1,201 to 1,300 310 1,301 to 1,400 333 1,401 to 1,500 357 1,501 to 1,600 445 1,601 to 1,700 471 1,701 to 1,800 551 1,801 to 1,900 582 1,901 to 2,000 614 2,001 to 2,100 784 2,101 to 2,200 823 2,201 to 2,300 860 2,301 to 2,400 895 2,401 to 2,500 935 2,501 to 2,600 1120 2,601 to 2,700 1164 2,701 to 2,800 1204 2,801 to 2,900 1248 2,901 to 3,000 1293 3,001 or more 1566 As cars registered prior to 2008 are on the old system, someone with a '08 BMW 520d will pay 176 euro tax, while his next door neighbour with a '07 520d will pay 614 euro! So, along with this encouragement to upgrade to a newer car, we also had a government run scrappage scheme, I wonder what kind of emissions are involved in producing new cars + in shipping them here, bet its not as Green as they thought, dust to dust measurement and all that. With my 20year old 1.6 Roadster I'm still paying 445e yet it gets "greener" everyday ;-) There is an upshot though for used diesel lovers... just over 70% of new sales are diesel ;-) http://www.motorcheck.ie/blog/strong-start-for-new-car-registrations/ Steve re: Australia parliament passes divisive carbon tax http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/**world-asia-pacific-15269033
