6/29 happy god now nominated, go vote:
http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~kchang/happy
\_k kchang, don't you understand that the aura of soda is
supposed to be negative? Get out of here with yer dumbass
happy bullshit.
\_ People are innately good. I refuse to believe that.
\_ Death to happiness.
\_ There never was any happiness. It can't die.
\_ my gawd, you guys are overly negative.
\_ guys? fuck you, sexist pig! |

6/29 M$ doesn't own the name "Internet Explorer"
http://www.slashdot.org/articles/9806281343225.shtml
\_ Uhm yeah... go try to get any form of legal ownership or use
the name for your own product or commercial venture.
\_ MS'es lawyers argue that "Internet Explorer" is a generic
term and can't be trademarked, otherwise MS would owe
milllions to a defunct startup that trademarked it before
MS knew what the internet was.
\_ Funny the kinds of crap M$ gets away with these
days. Next thing you know they'll be claiming
that they invented the operating system and
compiler and will start suing everyone in back
fees including gnu.
\_ Generic . . . yeah. I used to throw around "Internet
Explorer" all the time in my everyday conversation
before MSIE. "Honey, I'm going to the store to pick up
a pound of sugar, a gallon of milk, and a couple of
internet explorers -- anything else you need?"
\_ I just put in PO for several internet explorers.
So, what's your point?
\_ That you're buying a _specific product_. People
don't use the name "Internet Explorer" to talk
about a _class_ of generic, interchangeable
products that come from multiple sources. Did
you ever hear somebody using the term "Internet
Explorer" before MSIE came along?
\_ Then you are arguing what can be trademarked
and what can't. This is still the line that
characteristics of compression. You can't compress
infinite amount of data to fit in finite storage
unless the compression is lossy.
\_ Clearly you don't know how philcompress works.
\_ I understand both concepts. I assure you
the MS legal team would overcome the
abilities of even the mighty philcompress
features of the philFS. And yes I do
understand the technical abilities of
philFS/compress, its just that MS's lawyers
would overcome it.
\_ No. If you knew what philcompress
was you'd understand, and not have
to make up BS to hide the fact that
you can't tell the difference between
a running joke and an industry
standard. -mel
\_ I find your lack of faith in PhilWare
disturbing.
\_ Philtrust.
\_ Philistine!
\_ No, you still lack understanding.
Remember during the first antitrust
fracas how MS said that they weren't a
monopoly, because nothing was protecting
them from somebody, sometime, coming up
with a better idea and eating their
lunch? Well, Phil is it.
is very subjective.
\_ "Internet Explorer by Phillip Nunez"
\_ MS would dump so much legal crap on Phillip, even
Phil's file system would fill. MS would find a way.
\_ Microshaft: Where do you want it today?
\_ Philsue!!!!!
\_ Clearly you don't know about one of the great features
of philfs -- its impossible to fill it up! When a philfs
file system starts getting close to full, it automatically
starts philcompressing files.
\_ Cleary you don't know about one of the key
characteristics of compression.
\_ Clearly you don't know about one of the key features
of philcompress. |

06/29 What file does a unix user account inherit its environment
settings from (ie. path, etc...)
\_ accounts don't inherit env variables, processes inherit them
from their parents. Most user shells read files such as
~/.profile, ~/.cshrc, ~/.login, /etc/profile, /etc/.cshrc,
/etc/.login, /etc/csh.cshrc, /etc/csh.login, etc.
Without being more specific about which OS & shell you are
using, we can't be more specific with an answer.
\_I'm running RH Linux 5.1 on my home computer and I want to
be able to set environment variables globally across all
or just some accounts. (I'm using tcsh)
\_ RTFM
\_ Well, you can either edit the skeleton files (the ones
copied into new accounts), or edit the system default files.
man tcsh/csh/login/read the linux webpage to find out
where such things are --dbushong

06/28 Does Linux or FreeBSD compile for Win95/98?
\_ Can you play CDs in a VCR?
\_ No, but my computer has a retractable cup holder.
\_ Should be "Can you play a CD player in a VCR?".
\_ Yes. What of it?
\_ It compiles on NT (Open-Something environment)
\_ on != for
\_ Are you trying to get Winblows to emulate the entire Linux or
BSD OS? It won't happen. Anything M$ makes will crash
if it does anything remotely interesting.
\_ You want to run unix as an application under Win95? Are you
fucking stupid or just a fucking stupid troll?
\_ nuff said
\_ I think this person wants to create Linux or FreeBSD binaries
using Win95/98. But then why??? Just borrow some CD rom from
some Soda geeks.
\_ Sounds more like they want to compile binaries FOR Win9x
on Linux/FreeBSD, which would make developing Win code
less painful since you wouldn't actually have to use it.
\_ Possibly you can use the Cygnus stuff as a
cross-compiler to do that.
\_ Whatever they want, if they don't explain it fast, this whole
troll is getting purged. |

06/28 A friend of mine who's a CS grad student over at UCLA had his
research advisor / boss buy him a SPARC station for him to take
home. Is this ... like, not out of the ordinary? BTW, any
recommended Solaris, SPARC books for a newbie that you would
suggest for him? Thanks!
\_ Probably not bad to buy some general (presumably ORA) Unix-type
books. _Unix in a Nutshell_, _Essential System Administration_,
etc. It is difficult to go wrong when buying Unix books from
O'Reilly. Also, if your friend doesn't need any Solaris-specific
software, you might think of installing SPARC Linux -- for which
it is far easier to get free technical support in universities.
Many grad students have very spiffy machines, for which we may envy
them.

box as an IP Masquerade gateway, and who would be willing to answer
questions should I have any when I do the setup this week, please
let me know. --davidf
