5/15 What do people think of 164 with Rowe this semester? \_ Lance is King! \_ Better than 162 with Smith! \_ Anything is better than 162 with Smith. Unfortately with just him & Harvey teaching 162 now, everyone's screwed. \_ Harvey doesn't really teach, per se. He preaches his religion to unsuspecting freshmen and chows on the potstickers and is pretty much just worthless. \_ is he still sleeping with Randy? \_ Randy Katz? The dept. chair? I don't think so. \_ INFIDEL!!! HERETIC!!1! I fondly remember taking 162 from bh. Especially those nights when we'd all gather around the big, silent bulk of the PDP-10 in the machine room, heads bowed to its greatness . . . then bh would pour the vodka, and we'd munch on potstickers and talk for _hours_ about the imminent coming of the Glorious People's GNU-LISP Revolution that would sweep like a cleansing wave! Some nights we'd watch Animanics and listen to the Beatles until dawn. Then we'd shatter our vodka glasses against the wall and weave our way home, staggering up the middle of Hearst singing Russian peasant drinking songs . . . I didn't learn much about operating systems, but damn, I learned about _life_. \_ This has _got_ to be one of the funniest things ever posted to the motd. Is there a motd Hall of Fame? \_ yes, /usr/bin/local/motd/Hall_of_Fame \_ yes, /dev/null \_ This _is_ great. It makes checking the motd every few hours meaningful. Maybe someone _should_ start recording a motd best-of. Then I could get a life, and check the best- list instead. \_ Was this clever? I didn't notice. \_ Aiken is better. \_ good at teaching, big ego, horrible personality, asshole. \_ How so? I have to say that except for the "good at teaching" part, I found none of the above to be true. One of those "your mileage may vary" things, I guess. -- kahogan |

5/15 Anyone have a pointer to code or library to take an MD5 fingerprint? Preferably something that has been ported to Digital UNIX. \_ the md5 rfc has code \_ There is lots of (inherently "cross-platform") crypto/authentication stuff in Perl; try CPAN. \_ I'd like C code. \_ why not check out the md5 source in /usr/ports ? \_ SSLeay, what else. \_ md5sum from GNU textutils package --brg |

5/16 How do I remove repeating lines form a text file so that any line of text only appear once, at most? \_ uniq. If the repeated lines aren't necessarily next to each other, use sort first. \_ But I want to keep the original order (of first appearance). \_ you could always write a C program to do it. Not necessarily the most productive way, but it could be fun. \_ thats why theres perl |
