05/22/98 "I Married A Horse!"
                 Our guests today say their clover relationships
                 disturb other people. Mark has been married for five
                 years... to his horse, Pixel. Mark claims that his
                 intimate relations with Pixel are legal where he
                 lives.  He was once married and has two adult
                 children. Mark wrote a book in 1994 about his
                 experiences with bestiality. We will also hear from a
                 woman who says her boyfriend is a dog and a man who
                 says he's not attracted to people, but to dogs
                 instead. Our guests are joined by psychologist Dr.
                 Robert Butterworth.

5/10    How does the root know what the sniffer logged??!?!?
 Hi.  You are receiving this automated note because of a breakin to one
 of our machines.  The intruder installed a sniffer and began logging
 passwords.

 Your password appeared in those logs.

 Therefore, you should change your password immediately.  (If you use
                                                        \_ and use SSH
 the same password on several machines, don't forget to change it on all
 of them!)
        \_ Because the sniffer logged to disk and root can read the disk.
                DUH!
        \_ Because the sniffer E-mailed the passwords to somebody else, and
           root happened to run across the list one day when they were
           reading everybody's E-mail looking for interesting stuff, silly.
        \_ Because you logged in during the period of time the sniffer was
           active.  It's a good guess that your password was sniffed during
           that time.
        \_ "Appeared in" --> "we have a copy of, and we read".  Not telepathy.
        \_ so why the love affair with ssh? besides telnet,
           aren't the pop3 and ftp ports also vulnerable?
                \_ that's like asking "why the love affair with helmets?
                   aren't other body parts still vulnerable?" - protecting
                   the most important/used parts is better than going
                   completely unprotected
           \_ Yes, of course.  That's why SSH supports port redirection, so
              that you can securely use unencrypted services.  See the man
              page for ssh, options "-L" and "-R".  SSH is more than just a
              telnet replacement...
           \_ Don't use pop3 and use scp where you'd use ftp (although ssh
              can encrypt ftp's authentication). --dim
                \_ Huh?
                   \_ What's so hard about "don't use pop" or "use scp instead
                        of ftp"?
        \_ It's super cool sysadmin magic.
        \_ cuz root *is* the sniffer!
          \_ no, root is the Kwisatz Haderach.

05/21   Soda was down due to its plug being partially unplugged.  I figure
        that someone in the machine room kicked it loose accidentally.  I
        plugged it back in and everything seems fine now.  -Nick

5/21   How acceptable are marriages between:
                \_ acceptable to who?  to the rather liberal CSUA community,
                   anything goes - any race/gender combination you want - to
                   your stereotypical redneck bigot only same race/opposite
                   gender are okay
                   \_ acceptable to WHOM! WHOM! ACCUSATIVE/OBJECT CASE YOU
                      UNCOMPROMISING PIECE OF SHIT MORON INCAPABLE OF
                      ACCEPTING A QUESTION THAT ASKS PEOPLE TO GIVE THEIR
                      VIEWS ON AN UNNAMED CULTURAL ZEITGEIST. MAY YOU ROT
                      IN THE LUKEWARM ANTECHAMBERS OF THE ABYSSMAL PITS OF
                      HELL WHILE CREOSOTE IS PERPETUALLY MASSAGED INTO YOUR
                      RIDICULE-WORTHY GENITALIA!!! -(fucker)
                      \_ Why are perfectly good brain cells wasted on the
                         clinically insane like this?
       -Isaraeli + Palistinian?
       -Indian + Pakistani?
        \_ atomic family?
       -Russian + American?
        \_ children who turn red, literally and figuritively, under the sun.
       -good + evil
       -Asian + White?
        \_ More acceptable than Asian + Asian, it seems like these days

           \_ D00d! White with ANYTHING is good! WHITE POWER MAN!!!!!

5/21   How hard/expensive is it to get an experimental VLSI chip fabbed,
       assuming it's already designed?  Are fabs on campus accessible?
       Purpose is to win RC5 crack contest, http://www.distributed.net
       \_ For 0.25micron the first Intel chip is only around $250,000. Cost
          goes down drastically with volume. You must be more stupid than
          I thought.
       \_ Check out MOSIS.  Depends on how many wafers you are making,
          the starting min is $10,000  (if ee143 is correct ..)
        \_ SSI's and MSI's cost almost nothing to make in bulk quantities
           and VLSI's shouldn't cost drastically more, although I don't
           think you'll find any luck finding someone to produce one VLSI
           chip for you just for the hell of it.
       \_ Bottom line is: any chip cheap enough to be worth it wont have
          an appreciably performance advantage over running tuned assembler
          on today's butt-fucking fast general-purpose CPUs.

5/21    I don't really know the first thing about money, but say you're a new
        grad getting 50k... after taxes and stuff, how much are you really
        earning?
     \_ Here we go again....
        \_ not enough
       \_ less than everyone else on soda (except the UCB employees and the
                people who are still students)
        \_ After petty 401K and stock purchase plan and outrageous housing
           rates, I get about $15K year saving. And yes, I make 55K/year.
                              ^^^^^^^^^
           \_ Does that include your 401K plan savings?  How much do you
              put in it in any case?
              \_ Put as much as your employer allows.  At the minimum, you
                 should put in enough to for the employer's match. -trustme
           \_ if you think you actually deserve more than $15K/yr savings
              by pressing buttons (i.e.: coding), you're high.

5/21  ok, who wants to loan me a tape of last night's southpark?  -lila
        \_ try <DEAD>uranus.kersur.net/southpark<DEAD>
        \_ what do i get out of it?
         \_ jsl'll blow ya
          \_ you lose then
           \_ what the hell, why didn't they say who cartman's mom was?
                when will they really do it?
                \_ don't you mean cartman's dad?  Cartman's mom is a
                hermaphrodite.
                \_ wrong episode you morons
