"The English visited Aquascogoc, Seco and finally the chief village, Secoton. John White, busy with his brush and pencil, gives us an illustration of Secoton lying on the north side of the Pamlico river. Unlike Pomeiooc it is not protected by a palisace. 13 huts can be seen, some with their side mats down showing the sleeping benches within, and 2 huts are all but lost in trees... Grenville was away from Wococon for 7 days, returning on July 18. He covered some 200 miles, a tribute to the stamina of his oarsmen. He explored 40 miles up the Pamlico river and established that Core Sound marked the southernmost extent of the Outer Banks. Someone took notes as a basis for a chart of the area -- and the party lost a silver cup. Philip Amadas was sent back to Aquascogoc to collect the cup which had apprently been stolen... The Indians had wisely fled and the village was deserted... Amadas's reaction was immediate and brutal; he set fire to the huts and ruined the surrounding crops." --- David N. Durant 1981 _Ralegh's Lost Colony: The Story of the First English Settlement in America_ pp48-50 |
"Having a world full of diverse & redundant proposers, supporters, & critics is what makes the advance of science & technology reliable. Having more proposers makes good proposals more common; having more critics makes bad proposals more vulnerable. Better, more numerous ideas are the result." --- K. Eric Drexler 1990 _Engines of Creation_ pg 181 |

Except that computer people use 2 as a base raised to multiples of powers of 10, instead of 10 raised to multiples of powers of 3 because powers of 2 are handier for them, but they also want to stay somewhat close to the values of 10 most folks are used to.

"A necessary, though not sufficient, condition is the welfare state, which makes it possible, and sometimes advantageous, to behave like this. Just as the IMF is the bank of last resort, encouraging commercial banks to make unwise loans to countries that they know the IMF will bail out, so the state is the parent of last resort -- or, more often than not, of first resort. The state, guided by the apparently generous and human philosophy that no child, whatever its origins, should suffer deprivation, gives assistance to any chile, or rather the mothe of any child, once it has come into being. In matters of public housing, it is actually advantageous for a mother to put herself at a disadvantage, to be a single mother, without support from the fathers of the children and dependent on the state for income. She is then a priority; she won't pay local taxes, rent, or utility bills." --- Theodore Dalrymple 2005, 2007, 2010 _Our Culture: What's Left of It_ pp13-14 |
