One of the great things about open-source code is that you simply have
no idea how, where, and when people will apply it. Nevertheless, it is
important for everyone to recognize that the following activities are
*unsupported* uses of the PyMOL open-source software:

1. solid, isomesh, or dot rendering of religious density artifacts.
2. transubstantiation (e.g. wine -> blood, PBS -> HEPES).
3. reanimation of organic materials, be they ordinary or holy.
4. miracles and revelations (beyond your thesis project).
5. proselytization: whether print, animated, or interactive.
6. heresy, sacrilege, or apostasy, of all kinds, in all media,
worldwide.

USE OF PYMOL FOR ANY OR ALL OF THE ABOVE ACTIVITIES IS ON AN-AS IS BASIS
AND AT YOUR OWN RISK. DELANO SCIENTIFIC LLC DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES
AND LIABILITY FOR RETALIATORY ACTS OF A VENGEFUL GOD (OR GODS). IN NO
EVENT SHALL DELANO SCIENTIFIC LLC BE LIABLE FOR BOLTS OF LIGHTING,
EARTHQUAKES, TSUNAMIS, VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS, OR CIVILIZATION-ENDING
METEORITE IMPACTS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH UNSUPPORTED
APPLICATIONS OF THE PYMOL SOFTWARE(*).

* If you do choose to tempt fate, be sure to take a copy of the
source-code with you: We hear that Hell's 666-BAUD internet connection
is woefully inadequate for pulling down those ever-so-bloated Coot and
PyMOL binaries (even if you do have an eternity to wait).

Thank you for your understanding and consideration.

Subject: [ccp4bb] Strange Density

Hello My Friends,

I hope you are all enjoying the Sabbath on this first day of
April.

I have recently been struggling to understand the meaning of my
structure and now I am looking for guidance. After a long period
aimlessly wandering through dense regions of ambiguity, I have of late
been inspired with profound clarity.

First, I should enlighten you about my structure. I believe that
is one that promises great hope for all people. However, I have not been
without my detractors, for many have lost faith in its absolute value to
humanity.

My question is about the nature of a strange and wonderful
positive density I have found. It seems to be coordinated by a trinity
of bonds--yet otherwise floats mystically in a heavenly fashion. I do
not fully understand it though somehow I know that it holds the key to
my perpetual happiness.

I must confess that resurrecting this project has been trying. I
have been tempted to seek another path many times, often posessed with
thoughts of worldly acquisition. But if I can not see the light that
this density offers, a comittee will crucify me, rendering salvation of
my thesis difficult without divine intervention. Such a sacrifice I can
not make without grave consideration.

I have put an image of this strange density here:

http://strangedensity.blogspot.com/

Please, if anyone can provide guidance, I will be eternally
grateful.

Peace be with you,
Jesus H. Christiano
