6/8     Anyone know where I can find old questions to previous ACM
        competitions?
        \_ http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~hilfingr/programming-contest

6/6     GIMP 1.0 is out, see http://www.gimp.org -- one of many nice
        projects to originate at Cal, and damn fine software for graphics
        on Unix.
                \_ what do you think this is? http://www.freshmeat.net ?
        \_ XCF RULES!!
                \_ One decent project a decade and you get excited?
                        (well, maybe two if you count PRCS, but that's
                         more a hilfingr hack than a XCF project)
                \_ Netrek? Yarn?
        \_ Can I read my mail from it? RMS told me software can't possibly
           be useful unless it has a mail reader.
           \_ So write the plug-in.
                \_ Just use exmh with the tcl plugin

6/3     How many times can we have the same stupid conversation?
          8
        \_ No.
        \_ Is this a philospohical question?
        \_ Aleph-naught times. Silly rabbit.
                \_ Aleph-1.
                        \_ Aleph-by-induction.
        \_ 42
        \_ Mu.
        \_ As long as you're reading the motd we'll do our very best to
           annoy the living hell out of you

6/8  How about mixing faces (*.xbm) pictures with the Soda member listing
     on our web page?
        \_ i don't like the idea.  it would destroy the simple aesthetics
           of the current http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/users  there is
           already http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/faces  i don't see many
           new users flocking to adopt xbm faces, either.
           --jwang, whose cron job produces the user list.
          \_ you damn naxi. How about a new format where, once user places
             ANY picture in the ~<user>/public_html/face.jpg, the faces page
             will look for it?

6/8  Anyone knows how Perl does its checksum in unpack?  I need
     to implement unpack("%32C*", "some string") in Java...any ideas?

6/8 People with ugly homepages-- please remove it, you are polluting WWW
        \_ how about some examples of "ugly homepages"?
