	Reverse Speech
		Oates (1991) claimed that backward messages are encoded in normal speech and that this constitutes a second, covert mode of communication in addition to the overt mode of forward speech.
		Although college students could reliably distinguish backward messages they had heard from those they had not heard, their truth ratings of the messages they had heard were not different from messages they had not heard.
		It is unlikely that the lack of a backward message priming effect was because of low power or to poor sensitivity of the research method, as the same method, using the same stimuli, produced a clear priming effect with forward messages.

		Message priority is considered only under congestion conditions, not to control the order in which messages are transmitted.
		When the destination point code in a message indicates the receiving signaling point, the message is distributed to the appropriate user part (e.g., ISUP or SCCP) indicated by the service indicator in the SIO.
		Messages destined for other signaling points are transferred provided that the receiving signaling point has message transfer capabilities (like an STP).

		In general, a backward message is some message in a song which is heard backward when the song is played normally.
		Some psychologists believe that it is possible for the human subconscious to decode and understand backward messages, and that such messages are particularly suggestive.
		But in any case, this type of message is never intended by the artists – it would take a huge amount of time and energy to identify suitable phrases that worked in both directions, and I cannot believe that the musicians actually do this.

	SELinux Mailing List: by thread
		The concern is that the backward compatibility code is becoming increasingly cumbersome, and providing safe behavior for compatibility isn't always straightforward.
		Even for the netlink class partitioning, you don't want to compile a newer policy.conf that has the fine-grained netlink classes with an older checkpolicy, as the best it could do would be to map them all to the old netlink class, possibly opening up unintended access.
		I also suggest that the backwards compatibility should be retained in the same way as it is now for checkpolicy.

		You can forward (transfer) the message exactly as it is, or you can record an introduction or comment to precede the forwarded message.

	Gaffaweb - Kate Bush - DREAMING - A. The Albums - The Ninth Wave - "Watching You Without Me"
		Three new clues have been given which should make the solution a simple matter: first, the message begins with the word "Don't"; second, the message is twelve words in length; and third, the message is "repeated" three times (by which IED assumes it is meant that the message is uttered three times in all, i.e.
		Exactly what sort of weirdness Kate perpetrated to create the message's unique sound has never been explained by her or anyone else, but there is more or less unanimity among fans now that whatever the method was, the solution was decidedly anti-climactic.
		(Both forwards and backwards messages were included in the lyrics as posted the other day by IED.) This remarkable fact led IED to suppose that Kate actually synchronized the chopped-up slivers of silence in the forward-directional track with the chopped-up slivers of vocals in a second, similar-but-not-identical backward-directional track.

		It is not my opinion that Led Zeppelin and the other artists here were given some kind of evil power to make these backwards sounds have a satanic message.
		For example I took my copy of Stairway to Heaven (I tried it once with a live version but I couldn't hear the message clearly) then opened it in a sound editing program (I used Windows Sound Recorder - but that was with a.wav file), and reverse it.
		Some dude commented that he thought the Stairway to Heaven clip was fake, so if you've listened to the sample above and are still skeptical, here is the clip in MP3 format.

		Subliminal messages, for the purpose of advertising, are against the law.
