Unreferenced date December 2009 in Anne McCaffrey s Dragonriders of Pern series of science fiction novels, the Oldtimers are a group of dragonriders who are brought forward in time . In the Dragonriders series, Pern is subject to periodic incursions of Thread Pern Thread , a voracious and deadly space borne organism that devours any organic matter it touches. Defending the population from Threadfall are Dragons Pern dragons who can breathe fire to singe the Thread from the sky. In McCaffrey s first Pern novel, Dragonflight , the dragonriders of Pern are concerned that they are not sufficiently numerous to fight the imminently arriving Thread. In the novel s climax, Weyrwoman Lessa brings 1,800 dragons and their riders plus support staff and equipment forward in time 400 Turns years , thereby ensuring a sufficiently large force to fight Thread. In later books of the series, the appellation Oldtimers is given to those who came forward from the past. Rebellion and Exile When the Oldtimers were brought forward, they were used to matchless respect from Holders and Craftsmen. After their arrival in the present, this led to dissent among the common folk of Pern who respected the dragonmen, but no longer believed them entitled to every woman and craft that they desired. The Oldtime Weyrleaders considered themselves to be superior to the other Pernese, and would not listen to reason. Eventually, in the novel Dragonquest , F lar fought a duel with one of the Oldtimer leaders. Upon his victory, any Oldtimers who would not accept F lar s leadership of Pern were exiled to the Southern Continent. The consequent use of the phrase Oldtimer referred only to those who had been exiled. McCaffrey s The White Dragon recounts other efforts of the Oldtimers to reassert themselves on Pern, the most important of which is the foiled theft of a Queen dragon s egg. In later novels the Oldtimers become less important as their numbers diminished through attrition. Category Dragonriders of Pern ... more details

TOC History of the Crafthall system Pern did not have time to establish systems of learning before the calamities of the First Pass however, pre colonization plans included a system similar to the Crafthall system. Originally, the Crafthalls were centralized as a University at Fort Hold, built around the computer databanks available there. With the breakdown of the available computers and the loss of electrical power at the beginning of the Second Pass Dragonseye , there was little point in continuing to confine the scholars of Pern away from the subjects of their study. Contrariwise, there were political and economic reasons to distribute the Crafts around the settlements of the Northern Continent. As a result, the Halls drifted apart physically.

Refimprove date February 2008 The term black fax refers to a prank fax transmission, consisting of one or more pages entirely filled with a uniform black tone. The sender s intention is typically to consume as much of the recipient s fax ink, toner or thermal paper or disk space as possible, thus costing the recipient money and or denying the recipient the use of their machine this is similar to computer based denial of service attacks . This is made easier because the Fax Digital fax transmission protocols compress the solid black image very well, so a very short fax call can produce many pages. Black faxes have been used to harass large institutions or government departments, to retaliate against the senders of junk fax es, or merely as simple pranks. The basic principle of a black fax can be extended to form a black fax attack. In this case, one or more sheets are fed halfway through the sender s fax machine and taped end to end, forming an endless loop that cycles through the machine. Not only can solid black be used, but also images which will repeat endlessly on the receiver s machine until his or her toner runs out. The introduction of Fax server computer based facsimile systems combined with integrated document imaging solutions at major corporations now means that black faxes are unlikely to cause problems for larger corporations. On the other hand, the ability for computer modems to send faxes offers new avenues for abuse. A program could be used to generate hundreds of pages of perfectly compressed, pure black and send them very quickly to the target fax machine. Black faxes are similar in both intention and implementation to lace card s.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2008 3D Fax was an early Microsoft Windows Windows program from InfoImaging Technologies . It allowed binary file s to be transmitted via fax . Basically, the software would encode the file into a printed image to be sent to the recipient s fax machine. The recipient would then Image scanner scan the transmitted image and use 3D Fax to decode it back to its original binary form. Its functionality was limited. Although being able to send a binary file via fax is a novel idea, it has three main problems The size of the binary file is limited to what is possible to encode on a letter sized piece of paper, so sending anything over 50 kb would require many sheets of paper to print, fax, and scan. The sending party requires an adequate printer and a fax machine or fax modem, and the receiving party requires a scanner and fax although a fax modem on both sides would eliminate the printer and scanner requirements . Both also need access to a phone line, to send their fax. Most binary files need 100 reliability on the transport. If the binary file is an executable , for example, it needs to be decoded perfectly by the receiving party, or the file simply won t work. This is usually impossible with normal fax transmissions, since they normally have noise and are not 100 copies of the originals. Adding a scan to the process only worsens matters. The advent of an almost ubiquitous Internet , along with email , made the limited usefulness of this software obsolete. DEFAULTSORT 3d Fax Category Fax software ... more details
