| | Acorn--Report on file system problem oct 5, 2000 |
| | Dale's attempts to restart the system and remount the affected file system initially failed, since the file system did not come up clean and had to be repaired. | | | During a subsequent conversation we were advised that we could bring the system up with the older, unrepaired versions of the files and continue working until a solution could be found ("safe" copies of the files were made immediately prior to the repairs). | | | Acorn file repairs complete, Acorn is up and operation with all functions available as of 5 a.m. |

| | This manual describes the hardware required to implement the Econet, a Eurocard for the Acorn System 3 or 4 computers and a specially engineered circuit card for the Acorn ATOM personal computer. | | | The Econet system allows a number of computing machines to communicate with each other and to share resources. | | | Also on the network one would expect some stations to be machines with extra facilities, say disk file storage and a hard copy printer, these would normally be Acorn system 3 or 4 computers. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Aristotle |
| | Suffice it to say that, taken as a system of knowledge, it is scientific rather than metaphysical; its starting-point is observation rather than intuition; and its aim, to find the ultimate cause of things rather than to determine the value (ethical or aesthetic) of things. | | | Aristotelean philosophy, by discriminating between the different generic causes and retaining at the same time, all the different kinds of causes which played a part in previous systems, marks a true development in metaphysical speculation, and shows itself a true synthesis of Ionian, Eleatic, Socratic, Pythagorean, and Platonic philosophy. | | | The First Heaven, which plays so important a part in Aristotle's general cosmogonic system, is the heaven of the fixed stars. |

| | Amardeep Singh: Tim Burke on Ward Churchill. And, irresponsible postcolonialism |
| | One of the things I've been trying to think about, both in my book on secularism (sadly, still languishing without a publisher!), as well as in what will perhaps be my next project, is the possibility of thinking about a historical (rather than "theoretical") critique of colonialism, with something like a liberal, humanist lens. | | | Tim's point is that a system of values that is universal, or nearly so -- is both necessary and inevitable (in theory, they would say it's "always already" involved). | | | There is a kind of forgetting of the origins of terms which make the critique possible, and a disregard for the fact that the "West contains within it the seeds of its own critique" (I think Burke is echoing Edward Said's essay on Conrad here, in Culture And Imperialism). |
