Haaaaaa! Haaaaa! Haaaaaa! Haaaa! Haaaaa!

My sides hurt! I just can't stans it! LMAOAROTF

The principal posters in here, seemed to have all been infected with senility. CPR, Andy, Little Kennie Pec..I mean Decker, and The ever confused mistress Cherri. Are now all consumed with the need "to name that thingy"

Used to be, there was some sort of semi intelligent conversation going on in here. And I came to lurk and patake of that which was being offer ( though I might disagree with what was being said, I could well understand the poster(s) point and their argument(s)). Now all I read are the manical mutterings from persons who have lost all touch with reality.

But be that as it may, My preconception of Y2K is still running, and pretty much as I had envision that it would.( One of the points being, that as true short attentioned spanned americans) You have all decided that just because there was not (yet) a streaming fire works display type of failure...That Y2K was a none event. The construction site, jury rigged embeded valves, solinoids etc. Do not, as a rule, react in that manner...No, they just cause pipe line blow outs, sewer blow outs, and unexplained power failures ( some times) in countries far away.

I still expect that one of the tiny failures, or a series of them. Just may well cause the ultimate failure....World War III.

But be that as it may...Please do continue the ranting and ravings that you have been immersed in of late. It does provide one with comic relief, as it where.

POOR, POOR THING. Consider Paul Davis' question, on what date will you finally give up and concede that Y2k is over? Dennis the Dimwit/Mr.100 pounds over weight with 200 boxes of Tuna/Burger Helper/Mac&Cheese.... is scheduled for July.

The real question for this Twit is how can he "finish the game" when he doesn't even know how to play and in fact, isn't even in the league where the game is player or even in the same locale as the Arena? I.E.........THE REAL WORLD, BABY SHAKE.

He is the "latter day" former No Talking Please @soup kitchens.gov (one of the "truly stupids" of TB I)

SHINGLE SHAKE...the *Real World* ignores you, Lube Job, INVAR (Diane's "Christian Warrior", and the others from the Y2k Kult Komedy Klub (the leading caps are intentional).

This LEFT-0VER seems to be so lonely in ITS "shakey" search for kindred tremblers. What ever will you do come 4/1/2002 when all hope for your "theoretical" evaluations are dashed upon the rocks of THE REAL WORLD.

You will be far happier at this link where you will find a few more people who you can have a "conversation" with. I hesitate to call it an "intelligent conversation" though I am certain that you, as one of the Leading IRRATIONALS, would be stimulated. I suspect you are already a regular under 2-5 other screen names but it matters little.

Shakey,

Speaking of losing touch with reality....

For well over a year, I tolerated the ravings of people like you. You, among others, never allowed reality to intrude on your fantasy of a Y2K apocalypse. In your case, Shakey, you teetered on the edge between dead wrong and completely delusional. The Cold War is over, and so is Y2K. If you feel better in your little bunker, so be it. Do not, however, confuse your addled imagination with reality. By the way, if you want to call me "dick," just say it. The word play on my surname was clever in the 2nd grade, for about 90 seconds. Don't worry, I have been called worse by better men.

China uses computers from U.S. illegally

By Bill Gertz THE WASHINGTON TIMES

China's main nuclear weapons center is using U.S. supercomputers illegally to simulate warhead detonations without actual underground tests, The Washington Times has learned. U.S.-origin high-performance computers are being used at the Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics, the main nuclear weapons facility in Beijing. The facility is viewed by officials as China's version of Los Alamos National Laboratory, according to Clinton administration intelligence officials. The use of U.S. supercomputers  with computational speeds of billions of operations per second or faster  at the nuclear facility was outlined in a report classified "top-secret" and circulated among senior U.S. national security officials last month, said the officials who have seen it. They discussed some elements of the report on the condition of anonymity. Disclosure of the use of U.S. computers to help develop China's nuclear arms comes as the Clinton administration and Congress are considering new measures to loosen exports of American-made high-performance computers. An amendment to the current defense authorization bill President Clinton signed in February further relaxed export rules on advanced computers, allowing U.S. manufacturers to begin selling faster systems on Aug. 15. Officials did not identify the U.S. manufacturers of the systems or how they were obtained. Supercomputer sales have been restricted because they are crucial elements for designing and developing nuclear weapons, missiles and advanced conventional arms, according to defense officials. Additionally, the U.S. intelligence community reported last month that China is expanding a nuclear research facility at Mianyang. The so-called "Science City" there is working on both nuclear weapons and civilian energy research, the intelligence officials said. The reported supercomputer use at the nuclear facility is the third time China's government has been detected diverting U.S.-origin computers to defense facilities. In 1997, China agreed to return a Silicon Graphics supercomputer that was illegally diverted through a Hong Kong front company to a Chinese defense facility. A White House National Security Council spokesman declined to comment, citing a policy of not talking about intelligence matters. A U.S. intelligence official who was not familiar with the report said that it has been difficult for U.S. intelligence agencies to learn whether China is using complete U.S. advanced computers, or whether they are using a combination of U.S. components and homemade systems. According to Clinton administration officials, the president hopes to dramatically ease export control on high-powered computers. An amendment to the current defense authorization bill sponsored by Sen. Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, would make it easier for the president to change the export rules by reducing a congressional notification period from 180 days to 30 days. The argument of some officials who support the changes is that the systems are so widely available that controlling them is futile. Other officials who oppose the decontrol note that the United States produced the best and fastest supercomputers and that they should not be exported to countries that could use them against the United States, like China. A Senate national security aide said the administration "failed completely" to win Chinese government cooperation in checking on the end use of U.S. computers sold during the 1990s. "That's why the Chinese know that they can use these computers with impunity," the aide said, noting that the relaxation of controls "has been a disaster for U.S. national security." Stephen Bryen, a Pentagon export-control official during the Reagan administration, said he predicted in the early 1990s that U.S. supercomputers would be used by China for developing advanced nuclear weapons. "That's been the great worry about transfers of supercomputers," he said. "That they would be able to design a new generation of smaller warheads that can fit on smaller missiles or which can be MIRVed"  multiple, independently targetable re-entry vehicles, or multiple warheads. Mr. Bryen said in an interview that the United States was able to radically reduce the number of actual underground nuclear tests needed for developing new warheads, from several hundred to about five. "This is not good news for us because the Chinese can do a lot of this covertly," he said. "It will be hard for us to know their capabilities, and we will have a difficult time understanding the threat." The report by the special House committee that investigated Chinese spying and technology acquisition stated that there is limited information on China's use of U.S. supercomputers. However, the report said that the panel "judges that the [People's Republic of China] has been using high performance computers for nuclear weapons applications." The report stated that under relaxed export rules, China may have purchased as many as 603 high-speed computers between 1996 and 1998. Following the illegal diversion to defense use of several U.S. supercomputers by Russia and China, Congress in 1998 passed a law requiring tighter restrictions. The law required exporters to notify the government before selling supercomputers to nations like China and Russia. The U.S. computer industry opposed the requirement and has lobbied instead for further relaxation of controls as computer computational capabilities increased. In July, Mr. Clinton loosened the restrictions further to allow exports of machines capable of 6.5 billion operations per second, and in February announced he will allow sales of computers that carry out 12.5 billion operations per second. According to the Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control, the Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics was identified in June 1997 as an "entity of concern," a designation that warned American exporters that the institute was involved in defense programs. A Senate Governmental Affairs subcommittee report on weapons proliferation stated that China stepped up purchases of U.S. supercomputers for its nuclear weapons and missile development program in the late 1990s.

-- Naw (don't@think.so), June 27, 2000.

China (like all countries) engages in espionage and other tactics for military advantage. They covet our technology and want to improve their nuclear arsenal. China has a terrible record on human rights and rattles sabers about Taiwan on a regular basis.

Are you going to change your daily life because of fears about China? Shakey apparently has. He seems content to live "40 feet under" because of the scary modern world. The rest of us deal with reality.

Unless you are one of the Joint Chiefs writing under cover, your options as an average citizen are rather limited. Support candidates who share your philosophy on Sino-American relations. Write brilliant letters to the NY Times. Or you can take a page from the Steve Heller book on prudence and start ordering dosimeters and lead shielding for your bunker.

Sounds like Decker is delusional. The cold war is alive and well, in fact more threatening than ever before in history.

Well at least you stopped comparing your "thingy" with others Mr. Decker. As for being that part of a man...Only some one close to you would know for sure. Frankly I am not that curious about it..

And the always verbal CPR...He made sence at one time.I didn't always agree with his verbal positions, but he did make sence. I guess boredom has stolen his powers of observations. Unless it is senility setting in.

As for there being a bunker Kennie old boy...My "bunker" in reality is the vast west Texas country side. And childred; I have not; but just one time posted here with any other handle than Shakey. And that was The Dutchman. And it the Handle I use on one of your despised "pass word" sites. And oddly enough, I have, and still am in the process of imparting knowledge on that forum, to people who want to know, on one of the three subjects, in this life I do Know.

The targeting and burst configurations of thermonclear devices. And how one would/could survive in a post thermonuclear war. But then I know that you are not interested in that subject Mr. Decker. So why continue the subject any further.

Shakey,

First, please do us all a favor and proof your posts. The spelling errors are like listening to a series discordant notes on the piano. Second, I have defended the right of assembly (password-protected sites). I do not dislike the forum, just some of its leading voice. Call it a taste for a better class of lunatic.

You are quite right about my lack of interest in nuclear war and post- apocalyptic survival. I'm also NOT interested in how one survives meteorite strikes, global warming/cooling or the attack of killer tomatoes. Stay on EZB and share survival tips with your pals. I promise we won't miss you.

By the way, it's ciao. Try to butcher one language at a time.

For the others reading this, I have the uncomfortable feeling I'm beating on a mentally ill person. Is Shakey just a bit dense, or do you think he has more serious issues.

-- Ken Decker (kcdecker@worldnet.att.net), June 27, 2000.

Ken:

Last year, I gave up any hope of being able to parody a frothing doomer -- they did it to themselves too regularly and nothing was so extreme as to be clearly overboard. The Onion would have despaired.

By now, though, such a parody has become possible, and I think this is what Shakey is doing. Hindsight gives us the necessary perspective on sheer blind mindlessness, and Shakey provides that perspective. I find his efforts (including what I regard as deliberate illiteracy) rather skillful.

-- Flint (flintc@mindspring.com), June 27, 2000.

Shakey, I've been in the "business" for about twenty years. Nothing new here. Cold war is over though we're not sleeping. We still "watch" movements across the globe, you can bet on it. But the tiny failures you're talking about ain't gonna happen. Oh never mind, you're not worth the effort.

With Shakey we have the classic display of mindless dribble most associated with the booze saturated trailer trash so prevalent in West Texas. Dont bother jumping all over me.Ive lived there and seen it up close and personal. Poor slob might have been a decent general electrician before the demons took over. He fancies himself a modern day Don Quixote but Shakey, those windmills are horse flies and the donkey died four years ago. Now Shakey could be a put-on but I dont think so. Takes a big effort to come off that bad but who knows. Its the net after all.
