8/12 Help, my manager is having a manager-anxiety attack. He has been out
of the technical loop for such a long time that he does not know
a lot of stuff that we do. Lately, he is going to everyone's cube,
trying to learn how compile, use an editor, do an install test, etc.
I really don't mind it, but it is getting kind of annoying. What
should I do?
\_ The most effective way I've seen is to get him a XXXX for
Dummies book. -- ivy
\_ You don't think they'd take it the wrong way?
\_ coming from ivy, any suggestion is an insult |

8/12 In emacs, can i highlight all the words that i search for? for
example, i'd like to highlight all the word "print". How?
\_ The same functionality can be done with grep -n
\_ Use "less" instead of emacs.

8/12 If yesterday's RedHat fiasco wasn't enough, SGI looks like it will
actually release XFS under GPL. Maybe they'll keep their word this time
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs
\_ What RedHat fiasco?
\_ two things to remember:
1. they seem to hvae already released "initial code"
2. XFS was so buggy, http://best.com completely ditched SGI because
of it.
\_ what was so buggy about it?
\_ their SGI boxes kept crashing. I doubt it was the
filesystems' fault. -tom
\_ at least twice, they relayed in best.status
"SGI says it's a bug in XFS"
\_ yes, but SGI was completely unable to fix it, which
makes me question their veracity. SGI certainly isn't
going to say "it's because IRIX is a piece of shit" -tom
\_ of the things in IRIX that "blow dead goats", the
filesystem is not close to being one of them. --jon
(35GB on xfs and no FS related crashes in a year)
\_ It's not the size that matters, it's how
you use it.
Now where have I heard that before... |

8/12 What is the answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything?

\_ Dinner for 2. |

8/12 When they say "Drink 8 glasses of cum everyday", exactly how
many ounces is that?
\_ 64 oz.
\_ 40 oz. of freedom is enough for me.
\_ Gallon is 128 fl. ounces
Half gallon is 64
Quart is 32
Pint is 16
Cup is 8
Soda can is 12
The glasses are each 8 fl. oz., so total is half a gallon.
\_ Wow... it's in binary...
\_ So are fractional inches...1/2, 1/4, 1/8, etc. |
