Top Document: comp.lang.tcl Frequently Asked Questions (Mar 05, 2005) (2/6) Previous Document: News Headers Next Document: -VIII- Are there any mailing lists covering topics related to Tcl/Tk? See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge 000. The following newsgroups often are likely locations for Tk extension related discussions: <URL: news:comp.lang.tcl >, <URL: news:comp.lang.perl.tk >, <URL: news:comp.lang.python >, <URL: news:comp.lang.misc >. Announcements about Tcl or Tk related code releases may be seen in <URL: news:comp.lang.tcl.announce >, <URL: news:comp.archives >, <URL: news:comp.windows.x.announce >, and <URL: news:comp.lang.perl.announce > as well. Discussions concerning porting of Tcl and/or Tk into new OSes occasionally are found in newsgroups such as <URL: news:comp.os.linux.development.apps >, <URL: news:comp.sys.mac.programmer.help >, <URL: news:comp.windows.x >, <URL: news:comp.sys.next.software >, and <URL: news:comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc >. Discussions relating to specific applications can be found in newsgroups such as <URL: news:alt.comp.tkdesk >. Foreign language discussions concerning Tcl and Tk can be found in <URL: news:maus.os.linux >, <URL: news:maus.os.linux68k >, <URL: news:de.comp.lang.tcl >, <URL: news:fr.comp.lang.tcl >, and <URL: news:fj.lang.tcl >. 001. The introductory papers on Tcl and Tk by Dr. J. Ousterhout are available at <URL: ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/doc/ >, <URL: ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/doc/ >, <URL: ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/doc/ >. (The last of these files is the contents of Figure 10 of the Tk paper). The examples from the Ousterhout book are available in one large file as <URL: ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/doc/ >. A series of PostScript slides used in an introduction/tutorial on Tcl and Tk at several X and Usenix Conferences are available as <URL: ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/doc/ >. Dr. Ousterhout has written an engineering style guide that describes the coding, documentation, and testing conventions that are used in Tcl and has made it available to other Tcl/Tk developers. It is located at <URL: ftp://tcl.activestate.com/pub/tcl/doc/ >. Feedback is welcome, but specifics concerning actual conventions are unlikely to change. Primarily there is room for changes on the presentation itself, as well as additional conventions which should be present but are not. Notes pointing to a conflict between a stated convention and Tcl or Tk base code are of interest. Send comments to Dr. Ousterhout <URL: http://home.pacbell.net/ouster/ >. There is also pointers to slide presentations made at the Symposium on Very High Level Languages and papers concerning intelligent agents on the Internet. Pointers to various Tcl applications (such as the Tcl Plugin, SpecTcl/SpecJava, WebTk), as well as FAQs and tutorials about these applications, can be found on the <URL: http://www.tcl-tk.net/ > site. A page comparing Tcl to Visual Basic, Perl and Javascript can be found at <URL: http://www.tcl.tk/advocacy.html >. A series of "How To" articles are also available at TDX.

Throughout history, we can see how we have been strategically conditioned coming to this point where we are on the verge of a cashless society. Did you know that the Bible foretold of this event almost 2,000 years ago?
In the book of Revelation 13:16-18, we read,
"He (the false prophet who deceives many by his miracles--Revelation 19:20) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666."
Speaking to the last generation, this could only be speaking of a cashless society. Why so? Revelation 13:17 tells us that we cannot buy or sell unless we receive the mark of the beast. If physical money was still in use, we could buy or sell with one another without receiving the mark. This would contradict scripture that states we need the mark to buy or sell!
These verses could not be referring to something purely spiritual as scripture references two physical locations (our right hand or forehead) stating the mark will be on one "OR" the other. If this mark was purely spiritual, it would indicate both places, or one--not one OR the other!
This is where it comes together. It is amazing how accurate the Bible is concerning the implantable RFID microchip. Here are notes from someone named Carl Sanders who worked with a team of engineers to help develop this RFID chip:
"Carl Sanders sat in seventeen New World Order meetings with heads-of-state officials such as Henry Kissinger and Bob Gates of the C.I.A. to discuss plans on how to bring about this one-world system. The government commissioned Carl Sanders to design a microchip for identifying and controlling the peoples of the world—a microchip that could be inserted under the skin with a hypodermic needle (a quick, convenient method that would be gradually accepted by society).
Carl Sanders, with a team of engineers behind him, with U.S. grant monies supplied by tax dollars, took on this project and designed a microchip that is powered by a lithium battery, rechargeable through the temperature changes in our skin. Without the knowledge of the Bible (Brother Sanders was not a Christian at the time), these engineers spent one-and-a-half-million dollars doing research on the best and most convenient place to have the microchip inserted.
Guess what? These researchers found that the forehead and the back of the hand (the two places the Bible says the mark will go) are not just the most convenient places, but are also the only viable places for rapid, consistent temperature changes in the skin to recharge the lithium battery. The microchip is approximately seven millimeters in length, .75 millimeters in diameter, about the size of a grain of rice. It is capable of storing pages upon pages of information about you. All your general history, work history, criminal record, health history, and financial data can be stored on this chip.
Brother Sanders believes that this microchip, which he regretfully helped design, is the “mark” spoken about in Revelation 13:16–18. The original Greek word for “mark” is “charagma,” which means a “scratch or etching.” It is also interesting to note that the number 666 is actually a word in the original Greek. The word is “chi xi stigma,” with the last part, “stigma,” also meaning “to stick or prick.” Carl believes this is referring to a hypodermic needle when they poke into the skin to inject the microchip."
Mr. Sanders asked a doctor what would happen if the lithium contained within the RFID microchip leaked into the body. The doctor replied by saying a (...)
