        \_ too many h0zers!

9/13    So once again, does anyone know the side effects of dexadrine?

        \_ Whats the point of cvs'ing a single file?  -ERic (who has been

           \_ I know what this does (send me porn passwords), but can someone
              give a formal definition of what is going on here?
        \_ is your ADD so bad you can't do a web search for dexadrine and
           side effects?
           \_ I don';t have add you stupid fuckin gmororn.` and if you

9.16    Searle's lecture is on what is pain, thursday, 2060 vlsb.
        \_ pain is reading the motd seriously.
        \_ I suggest watching Harvey's cs61a lectures on the web. If she's
           might help her learn to program.
                   \_ perl is a sucky beginners language, because there are
                      disgusting
           \_ no, pain is taking searle seriously.
        \_ Isn't Searle the guy who claims that computers can never
           be sentient?  I remember a section in Hofstader's book,
           _The_Mind's_Eye_, which talked about AI, the Turing Test,
           and other such subjects.  There was an argument attributed
           to Searle (maybe a different guy than the one giving the pain
           lecture) in there claiming that since computers only do
           "formal symbol manipulation" they can never be intelligent.
           I thought this argument was  pretty lame. -emin
           \_ yes, that's Searle, and yes, it is.  -tom
              \_ it's a fork bomb
           \_ the majority of searle's arguments sound impressive when he
              presents them on the bbc but are actually pretty damned lame.

           "subjects", "formal", and "taking".

        \_ Huh huh... he said, "free pussy..."
         \_ uh no.  he said free cat.  reading isn't your strong point is it?
        \_ it's just a stupid shellscript. Read it and figure it out
           \_ What? You can watch lectures on the web?
              \_ Yes, go to http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/bibs for general

9/15    Is there a good online reference for passing pointers to functions

9/15    NSA + M$oft = ?: http://www.cryptonym.com/hottopics/msft-nsa.html
        \_ Old news.
        \_ let me guess, this was put up by cmlee

9/15    RFI- I'm trying to write a quick prototype driver for a windows
        based pen-input device.  I have my choice of M$ OSes (95, NT, or
        WDM w/ 98 & 2000), and my primary concern is choosing a development
        path that won't screw me over later on.  Again, this is just a
        prototype driver, so extensibility, compatibility, support for
        plugnplay, power management, NSA encryption standards and the like
        take second place to simplicity and having a not-so-steep learning
        curve.  If the code's already written, I don't want to do it again.
        Any opinions, tips for newbies, references, book reviews appreciated.

        \_ Have u taken a look in the NT or 95/98 DDK?  It contains
           sample source for drivers for many diff. type of input and

             \_ Any pointers to a solid, readable, extendible driver?
        \_ Yes, but I agree with what appears to be the consensus in what
           I've read elsewhere- it's poorly put together and hard to use.
           Does anyone have comments on Numega's Driver Studio?
