             Dear Nemo!


  To a question on networks and network software. At the 
moment, those who work on the Spectrum, available network 
Fidonet. To work in This (and other FTN networks, for example, 
local ZXNet). have the appropriate software. Situation is more 
complicated with iron. For the network Fidonet need a modem 
that can communicate with a modem PC. At the moment there are 
two solutions to this problems. This scheme Kondratyev and 
Shepeleva. But the connection of the PC modem to the computer 
KAY requires self-assembly scheme that are not available to 
everyone and is not supported firm (guaranteed). At the same 
time, there is a workable network software under ISDOS - mailer 
Dickie. Thus, if the firm would support any of the schemes 
modem:  a) Finally there is the application of IC

RTC DALLAS
 b) A network access at Sinkleristov, as is, without doubt, 
good.  a) will grow and the popularity rating KAY

as machines among users. In addition to mailers,
it would not be superfluous to write a convenient editor-mail 
at ISDOS (a la Lara Cnoft under TRDOS). All the necessary 
descriptions I'm ready provide.


                                   665772


                               26.06.2000


              Dear N!


   Read with interest your letter. I want to note the following:

1. Specificity of the network as an information
space. Networks are now working as
Amplifiers chimeras. The scheme is simple: there is a user A 
with stupidity in the head X, and there user B with nonsense in 
your head W. They are joined in a network and 
vzaimoobogoschayutsya : as a result of each head - 
both A and B - sits on TWO stupidity: X and Y. With the proper

 chimera underneath it send some shit. There is a 
commercial return. Then comes the sobering, and all begins 
anew. Chimeras can be controlled. Respectively, and to ensure a 
regular flow of money (a tax on stupidity). I do not see any 
way sublimation / enrichment of information in networks.

They all should be taught in college, years of
five - and that is not enough. If a person does not
has a practical, PROFESSIONAL
relationship to the subject - then it
weight - as a source of information - tends to zero. Ie an 
ideal noise generator. Moreover, he is not responsible for 
their words. Even the right information, being placed in the 
wrong for her context, it becomes noise. None

a single ideology / methodology
which would sublimate information.

   Professionals is not there - some scammers (it's one of 
those that work for money or for any other remuneration). I do 
not see structures and methods of their construction, which 
would reduce the entropy of the networks. Network degenerate.


2. The impact of networks on the platform. Network
yield increasing consumer content companies - but only in the 
short term, because the essence of this increase

is  resources, ie,
use of information resources without
their resume to:
 a) they do not own
 b) they are not satisfied (ie, in the long run contribute to 
weakening of the network Spectrum'a, because in. a-. "% 
metabolism - parasitism) c) they are destroyed. 

Example 1. distribution of software. There are a trader, has 
his work is its database (the actual software, clients, 
programmers), established contacts (structure). Appear online. 
As a result, volume sales are down a factor of N, where N is 
the average number of users on the local grid. Trader

ruined. Ie network is filled with software
due to resources (capital) trader. But
it does not make them. Once traders
bankrupt, the network remains soft. Availability of software is 
determined not only by his quantity, but also labor intensive 
access. Without a database trader, in which

systematized software, we can assume that
This software is not. Thus, freebie
*.- G% -, - something I have not heard that in the
networks had their own database of appropriate power, - they 
are not AS THEY MONEY COST - and the network to pay is not 
accepted. 

Example 2. Composition and age of owners
BBS. A friend of mine took a little research into Fido. Namely, 
he decided to find educational qualification and age of the 
owners of BBS, - and compared oposlya him with the situation 
ten years ago. Total: The average age of owners BBS

about 1823 years old, against the 30-35 decade
ago. It is clear that on the educational
status, and even less about the professionalism
say does not make sense. Doubt that
users to represent Spectrume
greater informational value for Brugg
other than Fido (we are talking about ZXnet).
How did it happen? Meanwhile, the process
completely objective. Network of a non-profit - and this means 
that the winner is the one, * b. receives more information than 
it provides. Ie, roughly speaking, the more stupid exploit more

intelligent, educated and informed -
does not make up for - except that increasing noise (enropiyu) 
in the information space. As a result, more intelligent

leave the network, and more stupid, by contrast, come - that 
somehow  - Free, of course. And a grid of 
sufficiently informed, skilled and professional community has 
degenerated (or at least to go) in a group of teenagers,

tormented by their own chimeras - to the reality of the 
relationship does not have (it can be name and the eldest group 
of kindergarten). Ideal environment for catching fish in muddy

water. Ie zadesyat years - capital network
- Namely, a skilled part of it -
was simply destroyed, drive, resursto
Not filled.

3. The prospect of networking Spectrum'e. Very
interesting question, because is the question of the 
feasibility of kakihto projects in the network investment of 
money and in general systematic work in this direction. 3.1. 
Induced character Spectrum'ovskih networks. In fact,  
nets - a reaction to the aggressive, inadequate advertising by 
IBM, which is known to be proclaimed the Inet its strategic 
direction. On brainwashing (Rtehnologii )

are huge amounts of money - of course, someone starts to go 
crazy in the head and begins . Activity, 
manifested in Spectrum'e in this direction is forced, imposed 
by nature, and namely, the nature of mass / a (e. '. (This

Incidentally, the side effects of any large-scale and massive 
advertising, so to speak, waste). What would happen if

I-net, together with the United States, and IBM will fly into 
the tube together with its global scam? And to lighten this a 
bubble? On first glance the question seems absurd.

But it is only at first glance. When
spent so much money on PR, trust
surface, a quick look dangerous.
Ordinary sense misleading, since inspired.

   It is very difficult to understand for Europeans, and
Americans in particular, because individualism, they have 
extraordinary. A individualism assumes full opposition

his or her identity outside world.
In this situation, see the drift, shift, Shift Self (mentality) 
is practically impossible. Self-identification is seen as a 
fundamental fact, as the origin, as zero coordinates, as an 
axiom. In other words, people can not see its own changes, both 
natural And externally imposed. Especially since such a change 
can not be deployed in time to determine the directions - to

IT push. It is impossible to determine how
WAY distorting reality. And change the perception of reality is 
now possible as the associative perception (Through the video 
sequence, - technology and problems of this type of impact is 
as old as the world and in theology is known as iconoclasm) and 
diskursivnologicheskom (via text). Remains rely solely on the 
cerebellum, like dolphins. About these things difficult to `aac 
'$ bl, as they are on the brink and beyond language.

Usually in such a (bc f (oe I, tired of
words, I suggest that the other party (the opponent)
read POTENTIAL
DIMENSIONS OF LIES, by the example of the same Victor
Suvorov (Reference: Rezun, intelligence officer, received 
British citizenship upon request and for a period of five 
MINUTES. Sentenced in absentia to death). When a prisoner of 
the chimeras, also created their own hands, tormented (mad) 
entire nations. And this is done through insperirovaniya 
reality, or in other words, the imposition of chimeras. Any 
internationalist doctrine prepodnosimaya se - exhibits in 
itself, if it slightly poskrebsti quite mundane and

mercantile national interests. In
30's all over the world raving communist ideas and the 
Comintern. In fact, it was skillfully orchestrated a chimera.

But the Comintern held by workers and
farmers, which gnoili in the camps.
It is clear that, unlike Russia, the 30's,
America blew up its chimera for others
account. In the NASDAQ (stock index) has invested
the whole world. The actual software companies, ie share 
involved, already working capital - only INTEREST from 
attracted to stocks (ie debt) money. And now Bill Gates (losing 
weight is about three times), promises to Enable. For people 
used to the domestic terms, it would sound like this: there are 
monstrous, disproportionate with what funds, and they need to 
master in a literal sense, scratch - that is, perform an 
economic miracle. Chimera also faced with the reality of the 
world, ALWAYS falls apart. There ./`%$%+%-- k% time constants, 
which, although they do not have a literal, physical sense (ie, 
immeasurable SI), but nonetheless very real.

Even if you collect nine pregnant women, they do not give birth 
to a baby in a month. Whatever bushunnye money they were 
promised is not. If you look at the history, the three centuries

bogoostavlennosti Europe (Christianity in
Europe beyond sugar cubes - as a living religion - there is no 
longer three hundred years - in Russia, by the way, too) give 
much food for thought. Creation of the Cartesian myth (Kartezy 
- is the name of the mathematician Rene Descartes, the Jesuits, 
who had never been famous for a special depth of Christian 
faith) has gone into several stages. And the fruits were 
obtained after three centuries (in its entirety, as the 
concepts of technical progress, Civilization, Western values). 
The first the fruits appeared only in the early twentieth 
century. XIX century - a century of experiments - no more. 
During the late XVI and early XVII century, developed the 
doctrine, ideology and produced by Esoteric (metaphorical, and 
mystical), the kernel of the myth of Cartesian mathematics, as 
kognetivny, cognitive device with one hand and DELICHESKY, 
creating the LOGO on the other, who was able to bring forth 
from her womb, a new vision of reality. In particular, only two 
centuries after Descartes, Augustin Cauchy formalized the 
concept of the operation limit, making it available to any 
Lameroo, regardless of its moral and ethical qualities. Prior 
to this notion of the limit was only available through fasting 
and prayer. (For reference, the fundamental work of Descartes 
<Reflections on the original philosophy of> sounds in Latin as 
<Meditationes De prima philosophia>). In result, the 
Charterhouse of the world was gained more than two centuries of 
moral and ethical foundation - and only after This Achilles 
caught a turtle (allegory Zeno of Elea) - Europe and the New 
Age has gnosis (knowledge) more than there were old (the same 
Archimedes). Ie Two centuries of hidden, latent development, 
bearing the new reality. Communist doctrine Unborn

Almost a century before they bring their
fruit - and was Skorospelka -
quickly flourished - but quickly faded.

   What's in information technology?
Mikakoy doctrine, a theory, not to mention the hermeneutic, the 
esoteric nucleus. Of course, something done by Wiener, 
something Prigogine. But the scriptures Prigogine for his depth 
of exploration and differs little from the labor of Descartes. 
Ie at the moment is no more than the bare idea. Even if it has 
an ontological status (and not a chimera), it can not be 
deployed overnight a new world - need an evolution - in

which is likely to leave CENTURY. Well,
Finally, mercantile, fiscal nature venture, which inspires 
disgust. Americans are very fond of Freud, and not very

Young - but in vain. According to Freud the money - it's feces. 
Bill Gates recalls now Mavrodi, who took so much money that 
Learn them is impossible. (He wanted them to learn or not, 
whether it was the original fraud or have any commercial 
prospects for this, not in this case important). Many of the 
agreements, conventions, statement of the platform of MS 
Optionally, ie introduced purely VOLONTORISTSKI. There is no 
foundation for their study. First "a% #., Necessity and 
uniqueness. In Newton, the world DOES NOT EXIST arbitrary 
decisions. Any unjustified outrage points to ignorance and 
being implemented, leads to destruction based on its creation. 
And volontaristski introduced precisely the doctrinal position, 
rather than technical solutions - although, because of its 
arbitrariness, and they can be placed under questioned. Where 
there should be a theoretical justification alone unfounded 
approval. In other words, information Technology does not 
currently have no relation to science - but Positions EXACTLY 
HOW SCIENCE, ie replicated lie. It reminds profonatsiyu with 
the sale of condoms, branded "Checked electronics - or pun 
"Scientific Communism. "Moreover, not only at the moment, but 
never in the future of science in the traditional, orthodox, 
literal information technology is not BE. Science can be 
defined as the cognitive (knowing, Lat. Cognitio - cognition, 
research) system based on well-defined principles, WHICH CAN 
NOT BE MODIFIED. One such principles is the separation of the 
knower (reflectors), subject and object, which is learned 
through this reflection. Computer in the same applications that 
are implicit in the information technology, are always included 
in the "loop" self-reflection. Therefore, it may not always be 
regarded as an object. One thing to glasses and quite different 
glasses, dressed to the bow. About what kind of bugs you can 
fuck, if prinebrech Cartesian axiomatic knowledge in science, 
very good /. oa-(+ Sri Aurobindo (Ghose) - a quotation from the 
book "Conversations with Pavitra" (it is the Theosophical 
Society of HP Blavatsky):: They have never gone beyond the 
vital plane (Which in their terminology consistent

astral plan). I also kick off
possibility of fraud (and I, for example,
in relation to information technology, would not throw away 
this opportunity - (c) Nemo). But here we may have to deal with 
unintentional self-deception [wilful self - direct], since on 
the vital plane see what they want to see mentally. This 
complicated and wonderful realm where truth and falsehood are 
hopelessly confused. It all seems a logical Organized and 
seductive (but ultimately illusory) form. "As an example quoted 
from Wiener. Context enough volume, or simply do not understand 
what they mean. Words and phrases highlighted in capital 
letters I, (c) Nemo. "In India there is still a classic Type 
saniyasi (Indian monahotshelnik - (C) Nemo): However, a purely 
contemplative lives of these elders were not able to satisfy

India, which became the mistress of his fate
(We are talking about the period of time after the British 
protectorate over the former colony after independence, 50s of 
the twentieth century - (c) Nemo); in this the country still 
needs so much to do to break the vicious circle of poverty, 
ignorance and misery, that there can not afford the luxury to 
provide capable and experienced people to deal with the 
salvation of his soul. Therefore, deep religious commitment 
refined old to devote himself to another world (speech 
Europeanization is about - (c) Nemo - in general, and 
industrialization here in g ab-.ab () transformed into a 
willingness to serve the needs of society beskorytsno wherever

writings justification for a more secular,

OF INCENTIVES AND introduced from outside Borrowing METHODS;

necessary to solve new problems. " With regard to their own

quote: "As for me, then personal interest in the development of

not expect to find in their midst and liars mischief "This is 
written about someone, not about Does Bill Gates? (Quote from 
the same source: NA Wiener. "Mathematician." Publishing House 
"Nauka / Home edition of Physical Mathematical Literature. M. 
1967. / Translated from the American edition: New York, 1956). 
You can certainly assume that all the above not more than 
generalities, - just idle talk, no specifics.

In fact, it is not. When it comes to
hundreds of billions of dollars (and maybe even trillions) 
other examination will fail. Say, an analysis by Economics will 
lead to meaningless results, since is the level of secondary 
and, in especially small businesses - that is, larechnikov 
level, managers and clerks. C any idea now worn Americans

(Like a chicken with egg)? This idea of ​​missile defense - 
about I-net'e has long been forgotten. Meanwhile, problems of 
information technology for some reason, discussed in connection 
with: ABM. What is the connection? Well, for starters, defense 
is irrelevant to the real needs of defense USA. This is only a 
pretext, screen, "PR". All These "rogue states", International

terrorism, etc., etc. - It's just
rhetoric. All that really exists in one form or another, in one 
way or another sense. But the "peg" to the ABM artificially

- It is far-fetched. AMD makes no
attitude to solving these problems, but on the contrary, will 
only complicate the problems. So why need a missile defense? 
These questions are asked and America (Source: "KD" № 123 dated 
08/07/2000). Below is the view of Professor Theodore Pestola: : 
A system designed to protect against nuclear attack, is not 
able to distinguish the warhead from the moulage. I contend 
that we are talking about THIS FRAUD. In scientific terms, I 
The comparison, which will close and Russian clear: we are 
talking about such chemto Lysenkoism. "You can certainly spend 
not b. + l *. estimated 60 billion and much more, but much good 
it still will not. It's a giant Bluffing (similar to 
"Comintern" and "Information Technologies" - (c) Nemo). About 
the need for funding of the fundamental cycle in the economy. 
Must somehow use "bind" the money. And that, as a rule, the 
military investigation. Thus:  1) U.S., in fact, recognize that 
the real capital intensity of information technology

negligible compared to the
amount of funds that were held there. I think that is quite 
convincing explained Bill Gates to Bill Clinton, when

they are for some reason MET. ABOUT BORN idea just then.
 2) the U.S., in fact, recognize that the funds will be used 
not in INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY - as if in

them, without any commercial prospects in the near future.
 3) the U.S., in fact, set a world community to face the fact 
that: either the world economy is collapsed, and it will to the 
World Depression. Either the U.S. will be given opportunity to 
invest this money in the long run in its economy. This 
ultimatum. Now as to why this do not say on television. Imagine 
the following situation. Rises once in the morning, the PC-shny 
lamer, all night prodolbavshiysya on the keyboard, or the 
clerk, who its RS-ke no soul denotes and is equipped with / a 
(e ( b `(g% a *.) attachment to him, and turns on the TV. And 
he's plain language - For example, the program "Good Morning" -

pose the above three points. Habitual thought, "And if I might 
not drink coffee?" replaced $ `c #.), - namely:" How to stuff 
face "-  a) the one who seduced his PC components (ie

he sold it)
 b) the one who decided to make
The official doctrine of the PC platform - and
it thus framed. Will not even
any period of fermentation. People simply
get up and go. If we consider the degree lamerizatsii / 
Lumpenization RS-ka, a serious social upheavals are inevitable. 
Therefore, the program "Good Morning" to you again promoyut 
brains about I-net'a. You can then drink the coffee. This

the first reason. The second reason is that
America is impossible not to love - tremulous
love the creditor against the debtor. America loves the whole 
world community. But let us return to Spectrum'u and 
Spectrum-networks (S-networks). What conclusions can be drawn

in relation to Spectrum'u based on
assumption of truth of the above?
 1) The distance from
RSplatformy and I-net'a, in particular. Ie
use them only where it is unavoidable.
 2) PR-pressure, and accordingly, psychosis, will be gradually 
reduced, so the induction of S-networks will be weakened. From 
the standpoint of lamer it would be be perceived as lowering 
the tone and motivation in networks dizorientatsiya. Degree 
clouded will decrease.  3) The share of operating costs 
associated with RSkomponentami in networks will increase. This 
will occur for the following reasons:  1. Exit PC platforms to 
the real level of cost. At this point, in By pyramidality / + 
bd. `, k, and upgrade active in state institutions (the

all% i% continues, though went to
decline) costs are understated.
 2. The Law of Silicon Valley start working in the opposite 
direction. Due lower production volumes will grow

cost (about 15% for each
twofold decrease in). What is already
occurs. Information: (KD "№ 135, Wednesday,
07.26.2000) "published earlier this week in the U.S. figures 
indicate that that the supply of personal computers

2 quarter decreased by half compared with
same period last year. "-
ie cost, as a system, a set of parameters (namely, it involves 
the law in Silicon Valley - but not the volume of a single 
enterprise) has increased by 15% per year.  3.2. The strong 
dependence of S-networks from PC platforms and PC forms (heroin 
traffickers). It is no secret that the sites / servers 
S-networks are implemented on RSkah - properly and the owners 
of servers targeted at PC companies, as depend on them, 
hardware. Spectrum-BBS still are not full BBS, since, due to 
absence of Axis, are unable to perform operations on files. 
Some proliferation and expansion of this type of networking 
Russian hinterland is simply impossible - there is no RS-ers, 
nor Inet'a. So, based on such a structure can neither expand 
the market, much less creating a single global Ssetki. 
S-Network this kind are bound to the locality.

 3.3. Bias and control
S-nets. Some special democracy
networks, and S-networks (in particular) are not
more than visibility. The audience really given the opportunity 
to produce chimeras quite a ".!.$-., - but that's because they 
have no relation to the reality. And why not 'b `# (" nb 
anybody's interests. Moreover, the greater the chimeras, the 
more hit on the money. This profitable. Therefore, the PC 
companies are not interested in some quality improvement 
information exchange in networks - and the fact more, 
S-networks. PC firms use S-net as a plunge pool / septic tanks, 
where customers (as long as potential) are

On rearing and maturing as buyers RS-ers. In such a structure 
is senseless to invest, because one way or otherwise, sooner or 
later, will be in the pockets of PC vendors. System, in the 
final account is closed on them. Easier to throw money out the 
window, or just give them RSfirmu. Bias networks is also 
evident in the fact that any information compromising 
potroniruyuschuyu RSfirmu firm in the best case occurs

with hostility, at worst - is destroyed. In the best just 
ignored. Manageability of networks by means of clerks 
patronized RSfirmy that softly and gently manipulate objects 
idle talk, as well as sisokov that hardware dependent. They 
will gladly help you get lamer PSU PC, PC-modem, PC enclosure, 
FC1, 44 MB - 3,5 "floppy drive, etc. and so on - is gradually

training the client buy food at the right
place. By that time, whenever he wants to buy a PC monitor and 
RSmaterinskuyu fee, the client already knows for sure where to 
go and bring my money. Maybe it good - but these people and 
this structure is not Have no relation to Spectrum'u -

and if (they have, it is very peculiar.
Are parasites. They view the Spectrum
as a thoroughfare, and even not lift a finger to create 
something, something bring, such as to improve the situation -

not to mention investing their own money
or labor. Psychology is such - the very atmosphere of networks 
- that it is the object and purpose of management.

 3.4. Impending introduction of hourly pay for a phone. 
Actually, deloto already settled - the question when. XTR2 (the 
guys who bought out the production of XTR-modems) have already 
announced that a cease their release and are going to shift to 
post-mail (ie, read, technology shells tekstonositeley). If we 
speak generally, it does not katostrofa. Just lamer cut from 
the freebie - telephone channel with a symbolic payment, which 
is significantly below cost. In fact, it practically does not 
impact on individual users, as such, virtually none. 
Positioning RSka as Home Computer'a - it just a bluff. It also 
has no relation to reality. 90% of users

PC platforms are "styrennye" piecemeal
work with MS-ki; I-net, payable by the employer (regardless of 
whether he knows or not your employer or the employer is a 
friend who is always ready to do a service), support again at 
the place work (ie, consumables, consulting, repair, upgrade). 
Therefore, the Indeed, the introduction of povremennki lead,

primarily to an increase OVERHEAD COSTS OF EMPLOYERS - because 
source of freebies out there. As they say, bring to the work 
each nail - you're the boss here, and not guest. And bear. So 
much so that the overhead jump $. 800 1000%. In this case, 
start conversations that labor productivity in Russia is lower 
than what in the U.S. as much five times. In reality, only a

2-3. But at the expense of another, not of Western ways of 
distribution of the total social product, existing as the 
fundamental economic reality and commonly referred to as theft 
and corruption (and sometimes public consumption funds, 
sometimes the shadow economy, some misuse of funds)

Any /. / kb * (pull up his ears "Russia's economic reality of 
the western theoretical models lead to lush

the flowering of the most theft and corruption. Ie first 
whoredom - false theories, false beliefs, heresy, then 
consequence - theft, ie, material obogoschenie by falsity of 
these theories in relation to Russian reality.

And Gaidar, in his time, like a real communist, with manic 
persistently tried to fit the Russian reality to Western 
standards, just as those Communists who at the beginning of the 
century tried to "adjust" its communist Russia under the 
scheme. In information technology approaches are absolutely the 
same. The result of Potemkin villages. Meanwhile

always easier to adjust and most importantly, useful, a theory 
for the reality rather than a reality under the theory. Thus, 
employer will be put before the fact introduction povremenki 
and, accordingly, growth in overhead costs. Of course, he

wants to get something in return, ie REGULAR compensate losing 
money. AND here he has several degrees of freedom.


1. The first thing that comes to mind, mb. "Push" Terms and 
Conditions. If we are subordinate to the clerk pilferers and 
freeloader, then we can take this this, increase the degree of 
exploitation. Offer, for example, to work overtime, or ignore 
health requirements or impose additional duties kakieto. And 
the clerk will not refuse. So it depends - on your own as 
freebies. 

2. Second. You can try to shift from dividends received by
procurement of office equipment (and support)
on income from other areas - at least
opportunities, reducing expenditure on
office equipment. Area, not far behind
in terms of passing funds% retracement, and that the risk / 
'(this - it's construction, for example. In Stroycomplect can 
"uryt" any amount, good walking Excavators still missing. This 
idea ingeniously developed our mayor Yakovlev. Creatively 
developed the slogan Yeltsin Buy Russian goods and by creating 
their own, homebrew and simple as a penny, a theory which, 
however, better fit the Russian reality than all Western 
together. Our esteemed mayor reasoned that if they believe - 
and this fundamental reality, and not some grimaces transition 
- that let him believe INSIDE metropolis - and not

withdraw money abroad through
RS-ka. And planted tsirkulyarchikom of bureaucratic Faust 
rounds in Truck PC shnomu tank. Consequences have already been 
discussed in one from the letters.


3. Third. Try to offset the costs from the budget. There likely 
will not work. Where you sit there and slezesh. I do not think 
that the government in the face Reiman zatvaet this povremenku 
to /%`%+.'( Bl funds from one budget

pocket to another, from one expenditure to another. Ie it is 
not realistic. 

4. Fourth. Try to "break off" the price tag in the PC's 
offices. For example, to change supplier. It's also not 
realistic. Since own PC-shnyh offices costs (overhead) would 
grow, grow, and the purchase price of the PC-ers. Most likely, 
this will lead to a narrowing of the RS-Shnogh market. Of 
course, PC-nye office will try to somehow resist and defend its 
market. For example, try to push garlopanov (Lamer, who decided 
that the PC-to - is Home Computer) on the street shouting 
slogans type: "Down povremenku", "Long live

access to I-net drain. "" We demand
protect our right to buy bread and circuses. A
as an inalienable human right and
citizen as a gargle in the brains of shit ".
This has already happened. Likely that the situation will 
evolve in a second direction, and partly in the first. PC shnye 
clerks will be permanently enslaved (As serfs) in government 
agencies and to be completely controllable. This will be 
accompanied by a decrease in their status to the office of rats 
due to the implementation of the second direction. Overall 
Introduction povremenki significantly weaken RSplatformu and 
its lobbyists delivering tangible snieniya volume khalyavnykh 
resources Now that the PC-to use, but in essence, subsidized by 
the state. Ie funds from RSplatformy will be removed in favor 
of telephone companies, on the one hand, and

diversified into other areas of the economy - on the other hand 
(due to Step 2.).


Now, how it will affect -
Spectrum.

1. There is a high probability that Ssetki
begin to fall apart, especially for
through appreciation RSsegmenta in technology
S-nets. Season Attempts to attract money
from its customers will likely
to the fact that they just run away, because
other option except freebies they do not know
- Are simply not accustomed to.

2. Maybe a slight improvement
with the creation and distribution of software, because
usual pastime in the networks will be
complicated.

3. Probably, S-Network will try to get by
adapt. However, due to the fact that
No fundamental previous work related to ideology / strategy for 
further development in They do not, and they are entirely 
dependent on the patron of their PC's offices, most likely 
low-intensity decay. As they say, for what fought for it and 
ran. Freebie tends to run out one day. 

4. The situation creates good preconditions
to implement a "Technology of shells." In
general introduction povremenki
-% A *. + l *. weaken the Spectrum platform -
but this happens to a much lesser degree than for the PC 
platform. First only in abstract considerations. Srplatforma 
fairly well balanced and due to the predominance of negative 
feedbacks is more resistant to perturbations. The impact will 
be damped ie weakened. RSplatforma, in fact, the whole

based on positive feedback (the pyramid), and so destructive
the effect of introducing povremenki will be strengthened
RSplatformoy itself. In addition, Srplatforma has quite a long 
natural evolutionary prehistory and better  $ / B (`." - To the 
Russian reality, rather than DCs. In Sp-platform, the most 
vulnerable will be those segments that oriented to the Fc-and 
Freestuff resources. Also creates good preconditions for the 
development of domestic information technologies, and 
Spectrum'a, including. Very I hope that Rayman will be 
consistent and steadfast in implementing the plans to introduce 
time-based charging. Unlikely whether the government would 
collapse in the Fc-platform, as this can lead to social unrest. 
The point, apparently, will be without fanfare, din, dust and 
soot launched on the brakes. From the standpoint of lamer is a 
feeling that just the weather deteriorated. Practical, 
immediate efforts to impact on the network. It is true that the 
company (with) Nemo in any way not trying to establish contacts 
with kakieto network.

 1) During the pre-sale preparation
network users to the commodification Sprinter'om, at the 
request of Timothy Lano, I commented ekhi. The result was: a) 
disavow Dennis Parinova b) neutralize General Discussion Ivan 
Mac in) to prevent massive hit users

this is bullshit. A could not have to. C
the very beginning! k +. It is clear that the idea is doomed to 
failure. It was enough to simply IGNORED happened in the 
networks. The result, in terms of firms' earnings

(C) Nemo, would be the same. Ie IT
WAS an act of charity (Goodwill). 2) Next, I called up to 
napisatelyami MMD. Discussed two points: 1) BBS Software should 
be based on the OS, it is desirable to ISDOS'e (for lack of a 
OS'i, even so). Napisatel MMD with This a. # + a (+ ao. But 
now, two years like - and things there. And yet

S-network is much more painless to have survived the 
introduction of hourly pay. A Now generally it is not clear - 
will survive whether S-network or not. Did the man of the future

Their networks and, if thought, what place? Or do I have to 
call him every day, and gouge him temyachko - can be think I 
have other things to worry not. 2) It was invited to comment 
ekhi. CHARGE with voices, followed by padding on the phone at 
the rate of half an hour-hour a week. Also passed - no 
reaction. And fact is, in essence, subsidizing the network. On

Currently the average salary in St. Petersburg,
approximately, 2800 p / month (at
26/07/2000). Divide by the norm of hours per month: 2800/167 = 
16.8 p / hr. Multiply by # of weeks: 16.8 x 52.1 = 876 rubles. 
And this at least, because they do not take into account 
overhead. Thus, the network offered GRANTS

in the amount of rubles a year. Fools poherili this proposal 
with a clear conscience. In general, the network exists an 
unspoken rule of equal correspondents.

Full equality. And yet it is the greatest folly. Correspondents 
in the network have different informational value,

as information provided by them, differs both in quantity and 
quality (namely: efficiency, reliability and relevance). In 
addition, various correspondents may be% i%

and different status. In real life the same way
For example, the correspondents of the hunt for sources of 
information - and not vice versa. If the source of the 
information provided "Advertising information", ie brings

Network NOISE, distorts information, then he had already
hunt for the correspondents. That is why the PQ-clerks of the 
patron of RSkontory and are willing to work in networks under

Fairness. They have a real commercial from this output. Trying 
to get by develop Spectrum (not parasitize

on it as it makes the PC-clerks) by Ssetey much less lucrative 
job rather than the cultivation of chimeras and vparivanie 
RS-ers. Here the principle of fairness is not suitable. For the 
firm (s) Nemo line, on the principle of equal, the presence of 
network costs, as at least in the 15 20 thousand rubles. / 
year. This is unrealistic. Such a sum can "fight off" just 
parasitic on the networks (engaging in mental debilitation). 
Furthermore, the principle of equal access provisions on 
individual brainwashing every user of stuck there feces. Again, 
this is unrealistic, because Costs money. Meanwhile, the 
technology, for example "Op.Let." (Desktop / tekstonositeli) 
postmail quite a pays off, because working mechanism of payment,

That can not be circumvented. Annual Budget
"Op.Let" - depending on method of counting and recorded items 
of revenue / expense now ranges from 2.000 to 8.000

rub. This is a real and promising mechanism (post-mail, as 
opposed to the best network technology, provides a guaranteed 
return on investment money - and it is more important than 
SPECIFICATIONS, because creates the conditions for their 
money). 3) attempted attract Kondratieff to cooperate (by

Indeed, the rights of the co-owner) in ISDOS, to
Leontiev. This would: how to strengthen
ISDOS (as Kondratiev highly /`.#`,, (ab), and to create 
conditions for introduction in the network OS'i ISDOS, because 
he enjoys it  "B.` (b% b.,, and, moreover, has enormous 
experience in this field. Kondratyev refused. Ie would not 
seriously, methodically and systematically, for the money (Ie, 
responsibly and professionally) involved ISDOS'om. And it is 
required it is not qualified to write any programs for hire. 
Apparently decided that the skin is not worth the candle. And 
do not is because the freebie is flourishing -

Now Reiman and solve all the arising
questions about the freebies. With
by Kondratyev something, do something. 4)
Has been discussed with Dmitry Lomov
(XTR-modems) need to impact on
network through its authority (well, at
would, as a manufacturer of modems). For example,
through changes in the charter of the network, closer contacts 
with the owners of BBS. In principle, this would, in my 
opinion, his long-term interests of both manufacturer of 
modems. However, the producer, he has not become, PRO modems, 
he was not engaged. Considering production either as a hobby, 
or as game. It seemed to me that this person can BCO time 
"citified", but it was otherwise - to seduce RSkom, and annoying

failure to publications in "Sp.Exp." played
their role. It is difficult to require the person
some kind of systematic effort and work
in management, if it has eight classes of education and he has 
at the time go to kindergarten, and the notion of prospects for 
him exhausted by the sale of another modem. The more such work 
and dangerous and difficult and at first glance as

bydto - not visible. It can not be helped
fingers like a fan, too, the steepness of visual
not enough, the prestige is not obvious - cheap popularity is 
not threatened, and the fruits of $ also not obvious and 
strongly delayed in time - including commercial

plan. 5) An attempt was made to organize the writing of a BBS 
ISDOS. But it ended anything, including my fault -

too much promised and failed to meet its obligations. That, in 
my think should be done in S-nets. General remarks. Further 
considerations will be presented in a rather abstract, general 
form. On the one hand, it gives a certain freedom in the 
implementation in practice, on the other hand, so I do not 
myself to any specific obligations - that is important, because 
it binds hands. Still less should it be understood

as ponatseyu or the only true doctrine. Considerations should 
be mentioned below taken as the angle of vision problems

in which their solubility is most likely. In addition, it is 
necessary for coordination. Since my actions one way or 
otherwise, sooner or later, here or there will be in line with 
the reasons mentioned below. Ie this is a purely theoretical 
development topics predictability - and, hence,

reduces risks. Sadly, however, is
it's the most deeply understood by those who
understand it and does not worth it.

So: (D - direct, direction).

A.1. As has already been written, it is necessary to distance 
themselves from the PC-platform and Inet'a. Try to minimize the 
PC segment in the Stehnologiyah. This will improve the stability

networks and prevent the withdrawal of money and other
Resources RSplatformu. It is very important.
Inet, for example, in the limit, just as
transport layer. Assuming the contrary, it is easy to see that 
lost any usefulness S-networks (well, `'"% for PC firms - but 
that the firm (s) Nemo has no relations, and to Spectrum'u, 
perhaps, too). S-net can be regarded as no more than the 
orthogonal complement I-net'a. 

A.2. Must somehow increase
quality, level and quantity of information "networks. This 
organizatsionnostrukturnaya problem. 

E.3. Should try to somehow tie
separate grids into a single structure and
create conditions for further spread (translation in space) 
network structures. 

S.4. Information circulating in networks
should have a predominantly text
nature or character of the executable files.

S.5. Must somehow protect the capital
(Ie USERS USING MONEY)
and the accumulated resources Spectrumplatformy
from the destruction of networks. This is due to:
D.5.1. Spill-proof people. resources, technology, money in the 
PC platform. 

D.5.2. Subject to copyright. That
formal approach, which is available at
Currently the networks inefficient. The existence and nature of 
the technical means of networks, as well as their structure in 
practice contribute to and provoke the theft of

programmers, regardless of good intentions and the declared 
value (for example, in the charter, either by word of mouth 
from Season). This applies to the purely formal side, a literal 
understanding of copyright. C On the other hand the networks do 
not understand what in fact copyright protected not ideas and 
not the code, and their implementation, ie Goods like forms of 
capital, ie nested money. If you develop this idea a few

further, it turns out that the same protection should not only 
use  "B.` a *.% reward a programmer, but

and structure / distribution mechanism,
distribution, ordering software. Otherwise
even formal adherence to copyright
(Ie the guarantee of receiving compensation
programmer in 5-10% of the price of the drive
August 2000 approximately 5,060 Rub. ie 2,5
- 6 rubles. with a copy) will not leave even the programmers a 
chance to get accruing remuneration. If '% of the network 
believe that it's not worth the money, then let them try

perform this part of the costs themselves, ie LEAD its 
databases. But they something on it do not go. And do not go 
because it costs money. You can call it

cunning, but it will be mild. Example: a widespread 
misconception that frriwa'chnoe spread HARDLY AT ALL worth the 
money. Yet it costs almost as much as the author and soft (but 
excluding royalties). There is the price of storage, 
advertising, printing catalogs, ordering, - not to mention the 
price bisket and copying (this is, indeed, a network

may Debit from the price, but it is not more than
1525% of the resulting price). Result
is that due to the fall of the availability of software, its 
volume over the past few years has fallen several times. This 
general considerations. Now, specific (T - tool, instrument): 
T.1. Maximum systemic effect has promotion OS'i. Try to justify:


T.1.1. Substantially narrows the PC segment in the
S-technologies (see Section A.1.)

T.1.2. Through the standard and universal OS'i it is possible 
to create databases, increased interoperability of files (both 
within the site, and in structure of nodes, ie in the network

ab `c * bc`%) (see Section D.2)..

T.1.3. By reducing the criticality of the hardware file under 
OS'yu can try to implement Section E.3. T.1.4. Technology 
shells. It is no secret that now the S-network kusochnorazryvny 
and do not form a continuous coverage and uniform information 
space. Or, in other words, there is no a single operating 
network space. Shell can associate these fragmentary pieces of 
at least laskutnoe blanket. If the shell is used as a "chassis" 
ISDOS, it is  ! A. + nb-. operable. And in the network

space can be included on
Post-mail'u nodes do not have access to the tel. network, not 
to mention about Inet'e. This corresponds to item A.3. On the 
other hand, Again, because of the absolute interoperability 
through converters ISDOS'a can result in the transport layer

I-net'a. Ie Wednesday becomes one.
T.2. Changing the statutes networks.

T.2.1. Fairness rule. With him
something must be done. This type of equality leads to 
skotobaze. Without ceremony You can get the situation in 
perspective, when the network will literally

Pets are only the older group of kindergarten. The action of 
this principle leads to the degradation of networks. On the 
other hand, it is a very sensitive issue. He

directly related to censorship and the manipulation of the 
network or her addiction. Therefore, early maturing and hasty 
decisions likely will harm than good. For example, the 
introduction of charging for the money could easily lead to 
manipulation mass consciousness on the part of wealthy 
individuals (regardless of physical or legal, representing the

#. Aab `c * bc` k, businesses, civic organizations or 
politicheskireligioznye (sectarian) public education). This is 
the Achilles' heel of the same I-net'a. Meanwhile, billing is 
very effective. Index IQ user, as when it comes to the contents 
of his pockets, jumping at least twice - Yes, and chimeras, in 
part, fly around. So the question is who to whom, how and what 
to pay. In my opinion, should always pay the person receiving 
the information. In fact, your money and you must determine the 
nature of information resources online. This is directly 
associated with A.2. At present, S-network is mainly 
represented by users who not materially wealthy, - at breakfast 
not much to save, and the amounts allocated for spending are 
limited. Therefore, there is another approach. Type "corvee. 
Coley are using network resources, whether nice work out. In 
particular, as an example, sysop easily can (and should!) 
pripahat user which in itself is of no interest as a source of 
information on extraction of the information itself. Such 
ballast, not being involved in the production information, in 
fact, it turns out boarder, but still bargain and noise 
generator. Ie objectively reduces the quality of detail. space. 
This should be replenished. Now the magnitude of payment 
(regardless of what it is calculated - workdays kilobytes of 
information, or rubles). There are two parameters that are 
generally inconsistent. This amount of information (such as 
instant total volume of information circulating

the local grid) (quality of information
(Namely, its efficiency, reliability and relevance). When free 
nature I do not want to go into details formulation of the 
problem - I note only that most primitive form, this linear 
programming problem (transport problem). If we assume that the 
structure is not linear (and it is likely so) it will challenge 
the calculus of variations. We are not talking about getting 
some kind of quantification (final) result, but rather on the 
mathematical type of the object with which we have to case. It 
is possible that the optimal size of payment will be that at 
which volume of circulating information falls

twice with respect to the free version,
- Anyway, it can be taken
As an initial approach to interatsionnom process. I want to 
emphasize that Payment is considered here not in terms

of view of someone's selfish interest or
economic considerations, as well as plain
Technical parameters optimizing the exchange of information - 
that is, we are talking about some norm.


T.2.2. Requirement compliance.
In my opinion should be gently but strongly promote ISDOS, - 
and this should be accounted for in the statute. Kulibinstvo 
and rukosuystvo in matters of standards bring more harm than 
good. The ideal option would be one in which the public will be 
concerned about it and the actual information in the network, 
not the method and technical aspects of Sseti. Standards - the 
case of professionals. Also in the statute Ssetey should be a 
clear indication of the TV-standard and its derivatives. For 
example, the format of the text screen (the number of a (,".+." 
and rows in the screen). Needless fooling users

imaginary advantages of PC-display in
Spectrum'e. This is directly contrary to Section
A.1. and E.3. (On the village dumps monitors do not occur). 
Indirectly, this also contradicts Section A.2. and S.4. N. Now 
on a common policy form (s) Nemo on networks at the moment 
(H-about Himself). H.1. Direct investment of money in

network is now impossible. Reasons include:

N.1.1. While the S-network is the patron of
PC company (and in fact, a parasite), any
money invested in the network will be assigned
PC company. It's the same thing as flushing
the street - or throw money away.
That's why I, for example, refused to
production modems XTR.

N.1.2. State networks is now such that
they first need to decide for themselves some
problems in order to improve their
attractive and promising -
only then can we talk about production. Without a network of 
manufacturers not do. Kulibinstvo and rukosuystvo absolutely 
hopeless - and only slightly slow the degradation. Doubt 
ktolibo that will now buy Modems (Taking into account the 
impending povremenki) to rinse their brains in the sludge that 
Available networks. 

H.2. Ability to work on the roundabout ways that are indirectly 
related to the network, but nevertheless very important for 
her. It is primarily the direction in which the patron of the 
RS-firm is not able, for one reason or another, assign someone 
else's the money invested. They can be called dual-use 
technologies. 

N.2.1. First and foremost is to promote OS'i
ISDOS.

N.2.2. Technology development and shells
post-mail'a.

N.2.3. Improvement of hardware (motherboard) in the direction 
of maximum efficiency OC'i. In the light of above, I think, it 
makes no sense to explain how it relates to the S-networks. 
Also, I think it bears noting that the firm (s) Nemo is in a 
hurry. And therefore, if the S-network will persist in its 
Durkee, it will be busy waiting attitude - namely, will have to 
wait for the fruits of those stupid things that there are 
cultivated, - namely, destruction of S-networks, available at 
the moment. After that is likely to intensify in Postmail 
ISDOS'e, and he may already be used as a base to create new 
networks - already ISDOS'e. Parasites planned to cut right on 
the threshold of a bright tomorrow. In the meantime, let them 
live. When creating new networks into account the experiences 
available at the moment Ssetey and their errors. This is a 
pessimistic scenario. Very Hopefully, however, that the 
available figures in the S-networks from which anything

depends, shall instruct and take appropriate action. That 
should do it they are - a form (with) Nemo is no help here

can.

Well, finally, a concrete response to the letter. Without the 
above, I think it would have seemed meaningless to you. Also 
let me note that I am not a fan of write such treatises - is 
very nedno, - and the time lost (three working

DAYS) - but it is necessary. To better
understanding. Thus, hereinafter
letter:

"There is a network Fidonet" - more precisely, conditional
See: Butt inefficient and Fido has
80 characters per line - requires

"We need a modem capable of installing

the sysop (gateway), rather than directly to users. Too 
expensive - is exclusive. 

"Circuits Kondratyev and Shepeleva" - is Kulibinstvo, 
kustarschina. Users can do it, but I got to do with it? Their 
Durkee - THEIR PROBLEMS.

this is easily cost over the bus (there is a
mind guarantee). In addition, as far as I
known scheme Kondratiev - is not that

that as a result - a barn. And for the alteration
requires fairly ": hardening, sharpness,

- is to try and change the preferences, such as interest

You mean propaganda Kulibinstva -
