Subject: FTP site information (was RE: Hypercard stacks) From: etpma@levels.unisa.edu.au Date: 1992-09-21, 17:21 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks Reply-to: peter@audrey.levels.unisa.edu.au This is a brief list of what is available on the anonymous FTP site at the University of South Australia. The address of the Site is: audrey.levels.unisa.edu.au [130.220.16.88] directory /twin-peaks By the way, the machine 'audrey' WAS named after the character in TP. It is NOT a coincidence, whatever you may think :-) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- In response to lots of questions, here's the pocket tutorial on how to use anonymous FTP from the 'cribsheet'. Start up FTP and at its prompt ("ftp>") say "open 130.220.16.88" . If you connect successfully you'll be asked for name and password. For name say "anonymous" and for password use your net address, e.g. I would type "peter@audrey.levels.unisa.edu.au" Now, say "cd /twin-peaks" . FTP has help (for most implementations you type "?" or "h"), but the commands you need are these: ls brief listing dir long listing cd change directory on the remote machine lcd change directory on your local machine get copy a remote file to the current directory on your local disk binary need to say this for other than text files (FTP responds, mysteriously, "Mode set to I") quit close connection and exit That's it, enjoy. The large world of anonymous FTP is now open to you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ====================== Lists and Compilations ====================== - Annotated timeline for TP episodes broadcast to date as well as the movie Fire Walk With me.

Also included in the archive is a player for the Mac Sounds, as well as a converter from Mac to Sun format. HYPERCARD STACKS: There are now three stacks TPBSCompanion, TPstack and TwinPeaksTrivia. The TPstack is basically a collection of sounds with its own player, while the TPBSCompanion illustrates the relationship between characters and gives details on each person. TwinPeaksTrivia is exactly that; trivia about twin-peaks - either test yourelf with a quiz or browse through the information. There's a lot more information in the README files scattered throughout the archive. If you need some help don't hesitate to send me mail.

A strain of deer runs faster than the rest and hence this strain's percentage of makeup increases. Next, a strain of lion runs faster so they get more of the deer that run faster and hence their percentage in the makeup increases. After a while, only the fast deers and lions can survive and the whole process starts again. IMO, there is no such thing as perfect fitness. Kinda like positive feedback in closed systems, huh? Well, not closed, the whole thing is being powered on by sunlight making greens grow which feed the deers and so on. > > What about mutation, that marvelous engine of new genetic variation? > > The problem is that the life process is interlocked; it is easy to > > produce neutral or deleterious mutations.

You don't seem to comprehend the sheer amount of time involved, nor can you see the easy situations in which multiple mutations can occur. Take for example some sort of low lying creature, like a rabbit or small dog. Wanders off into an area in which there are some large radioactive rocks (usually UO2 or something), and takes a leak on one. Bingo! An easy, credible situation in which these multiple mutations can take place. (Such radioactive rocks lying on the surface DO exist, even today. A few billion years ago, they'd be more radioactive then they are now). There is also the possibility of a chemical attack, such as an animal falling into a tar pit, having some strange chemicals enter the body and the animal is lucky enough to get out alive and later mates etc. And what of synergy? A mutation in an ancestor does nothing, a different mutation in another ancestor does nothing but if the two mate and the offspring has both resulting in a useful mutation, then that could be considered a multiple mutation couldn't it? > > The major difference between spontaneous creation of genetic information > > (SCGI) and mutation is that SCGI has no signifigant probability of > > occurring randomly.

So, at one time in the VERY distant past, some chemicals in the primeordial sea came together in the right amounts and the right reactions took place? The different descent lines show that different sets of reactions took place in different parts of the world. For example, are those sulfur eaters at the bottom of the pacific any relation to landwalkers? If this is what you are saying then I agree, and I think that's what other evolutionists say. If not, could you explain this SCGI part a bit more? As you can tell from the sig, I'm not well read on either but I know the basics, which sounds a damnsight more plausible than a week long project by some deity. -- John McVey, Whyalla, Uni S.Aust 9051467f@levels.unisa.edu.au Electronic Engineering Student & Terror Tekkie G1 (at 19!) +------------------------------------------------------+ --| Obligatory disclaimer : UniSA hates my opinions... |-- +------------------------------------------------------+
