9/15    I installed linux but it sucks.  How can I get my win95 back so I
        can get back to doing real work instead of screwing with config
        files?  I have the cd but no boot floppies.
        \_ get a boot floppy.  send me an e-mail if you still need one; i'll
           put up an image -jctwu
          \_ .netrc . I wouldn't recommend it, though. --dim
                \_ use expect.

9/15    So is someone intentionally mixing questions vs. answers on the
        motd, or is some program doing it?
        \_ I personally think the motd should be Jeapordy style.  Someone
           should post the answer and someone has the ask the question.
           should post the answer and someone has to ask the question.
           That would limit each thread to only two entries.
           \_ Just *two* entries?  What if, for example, I post "yermom"?
              That's a one-word answer to a *lot* of questions . . .
              \_ For example: "What answer has no originality, has the
                 humor level of a high school student, and if you think
                 about it, makes me look pathetic to want sex with a
                 middle-aged woman?"
        \_ are you intentionally putting wrong dates or is a program doing it?
           \_ No, that was a simple brain fart.

        \_ thats bullshit!  cs61b was the worst course i ever took because
        of that asshole.  someday you'll realize that there are more improtant

9/16    I'm in the bathroom and I notice that a lot of guys do not wash
        their hands after they're done.  These people go back to the lab
        and use the same keyboards I touch.  Should I be afraid?  Should I
        confront them?  -this is not a troll; it is a legimate health concern
        \_ I once saw Kevin Fall not washing his hands right before going
           to the North Gate lecture hall.
        \_ urine is sterile.  What health concern are you worried about, twink?
           \_ And how did you come to this brilliant conclusion, twink?
        \_ Although considered unclean in this country, the above is correct
           re: urine.  However, they are violating a basic cultural hygene
           rule and are also unlikely to be washing their hands when they
           defecate which is definitely *not* clean.  Also, no telling what
           else these barbarians have been touching.  Definitely you should
           ask them if the sink was broken and suggest that maybe the sink
           in another bathroom functions correctly.  They'll get the hint.
        \_ you should _always_ be afraid of public surfaces such as
           keyboards, tables, doorknobs.. not because someone is sloppy in
           the bathroom (those are the cooks you should be afraid of) but
           because they're wiping their noses, coughing, etc. and you're
           loading your immune system w/ who knows what virus or bacteria.
           treat your own hands as contaminated after touching these
           things.  the less you touch your face etc. the less you
           contaminate yourself and others.   --your mom
        \_ Wear gloves.
        \_ masturbate

        (fill in the origina post to match the reply.)
                \_ That is stupid.  I know huge amounts of people that don't
                   wash after #1, but I know more or less nobody that
                   doesn't wash after #2, despite the fact that if you've
                   done it correctly (which isn't exactly rare) you've
                   touched nothing but your dick or your ass, which have been
                   just sitting inside your pants cleanly since your morning
                   shower.
                   \_ But can you assume someone else's dick is clean after
                      his morning shower?  What about STDs?
        \_ Assume keyboard is dirty.  Wash before touching food.
           Move on with life.

9/16    So is someone intentionally mixing questions vs. answers on the
        motd, or is some program doing it?
        [_ either way, it's stupidly pathetic.  didn't kchang get his dumb ass
           squished for running scripts on the motd?
        \_ I personally think the motd should be Jeapordy style.  Someone
           should post the answer and someone has to ask the question.

           \_ No, that was a simple brain fart.

9/16     Any reccomendations on where to meet girls on campus ?
        \_ Find Soda Hall on the campus map and then find the complete
           opposite corner of the campus.
        \_ Not here.
        \_ They're everywhere.  Eye contact is a good start.  If she won't
           look at you... well... you're SOL.
        \_ The ones at Haas School were cute, though they might be bitchy.

9/16    You should take 61b with Hilfiger. He'll show you what it's about...
        \_ thats bullshit!  cs61b was the worst course i ever took because
        of that asshole.  someday you'll realize that there are more improtant
        things when you get a real job and stop riding bike and using linux.
        (fill in the origina post to match the reply.)
          \_ I took 60c with Hilfinger.  I got the same grade as 60a and 60b
             with much less demanding instructors and learned a lot more.
             What's wrong with that?
