|  | If the United Nations ever finds out about this conference, they'll demand
that we return Gavriel's office to the Palestinians.
 | 
| 607.2 | Yes, but... | SUTRA::LEHKY | I'm phlegmatic, and that's cool | Tue Dec 20 1988 05:42 | 5 | 
|  |     Maybe, but the US won't let them in :-).
    
    Comparingly yours,

| 607.3 | Could this be a plot? | FILTER::LIFLAND | Saying PLEASE is polite DEMANDING | Tue Dec 20 1988 10:46 | 13 |

    	Does it not seem odd that nearly every Arab country is represented
    by a NODE name (EGYPT,JORDAN, & SYRIA  just to meantion a few) and
    we have yet to be given a homenode. We don't ask for much just a
    little forgotten microvax would do. Maybe we could have an Israel
    node bond drive. Could we get matching funds from CJP? Or maybe
    this is a plot to control free speach and religion. First it's the
    node then it's scheduling meeting on the high holidays. Where will
    this end.
    	But then again I'm just being my usual silly and paranoid self.

|  |     OK so I failed Typing 101.  The intended title of this note is 
    
                             NO SARCASM INTENDED
    
    But I'm glad I was able to spark a little humor.

| 607.7 | Gavriel: are you unaware of this? | SUTRA::LEHKY | I'm phlegmatic, and that's cool | Wed Dec 21 1988 08:41 | 10 | 
|  |     Talking about sarcasm: did anybody bring the 'occupied bytes' issue to
    the UN's attention? 
    
    I think we'll need an international bits-conference to solve this one.
    
    Couldn't restrain from it, really.
    
    Ironically yours,

| 607.8 | This is more fun than stoning viruses | FILTER::LIFLAND | Saying PLEASE is polite DEMANDING | Wed Dec 21 1988 10:06 | 7 | 
|  |     I believe the issue of 'occupied bytes' was mentioned at the United
    Computers Open Software Conference during the discussion of the
    West Memory Bank problem at DECwest. No solution was even brought
    up for a vote because the UNIX CARTEL worked out of the meeting
    when the Itty Bitty Machine computer corp refused to recognize
    the PLO (People's Left Operand) as the only valid register
        
 | 
| 607.9 | OK, let's get unserious... | SUTRA::LEHKY | I'm phlegmatic, and that's cool | Wed Dec 21 1988 11:48 | 16 | 
|  |     Having analysed the issue in detail, here's a more technical
    description of the problem: 
    
    Programs using the Independent Storage Read Access Emulation Logarithm
    (aka ISRAEL) malfunction, when compiled, because of the Axiomatic
    RAndom FActor Table (aka ARAFAT) being full of erroneous data. This can
    only be solved by ensuring that the SHAdowed Memory Instruction
    Routines (aka SHAMIR) appropriately interact with the Polyvalent Error
    REgister Services (aka PERES).
    
    I've suspected this for several months, but only now could I trace
    down the cause/effect chain.
    
    Unseriously yours,
    
    Chris
