10/20 Why the csua, and xcf haven't had any cool things/projects come out them. It occurs to me that people keep talking about the myth of the good old days, and that everything was cooler then. Well, you're partially right. You would find hot-shit coders sitting around the web and talkig long into the night about this or that thing about computer science. But that doesn't happen anymore. Why? Because people have better computers at home than any student org can ever have. And so the hot-shit people stay at home. Look at all the people who are brilliant in class. They certainly don't hang around student groups much often, because they're at their reshall/home working on the next patch of thread support for linux at their home on their much faster computer (than anything we have). This is why, for some reason people you never hear about are the people who do kick ass work at school. mystery solved. You want to bring back the old days? Make the cost of buying a pentium 666 intensely prohibitive. |

10/21 Hypothetical question: If you replaced /etc/motd.public with a core file can you get sorried? __/~*##$%@@@******~\-__ /f=r/~_-~ _-_ --_.^-~--\=b\ 4fF / */ .o ._-__.__/~-. \*R\ /fF./ . /- /' /|/| \_ * *\ *\R\ (iC.I+ '| - *-/00 |- \ ) ) )|RB (I| ( [ / -|/^^\ | ) /_/ | *)B (I(. \ `` \ \m_m_|~__/ )_ .-~ F/ \b\\=_.\_b`-+-~x-_/ .. ,._/ , F/ ~\_\= = =-*###%#x==-# *=- =/ ~\**U/~ | i i | ~~~\===~ | I I \\ / // i\ \\ ( [ (( I@) ))) ) \_\_VYVU_/ || * | | * *\ /* /I\ *~~\ /~-/* / \ \ ~~M~\ ____----=~ // /WVW\* \|\ ***===--___ \_ Nuclear launch detected. \_ Is there a way to replace segmentation fault message with this ascii pic? \_ yes. \_ Ask yourself: is a core file a useful and informative message of the day? Does it add value to anyone's soda experience? Or is it just a desperate act of a squishable little prick? This isn't a hypothetical question. It's a rhetorical question. \_ By that definition, everyone should've been squished by now. Of course, some things are more squishable than others. \_ There's a huge difference between someone adding content you think has zero quality and someone linking a binary which has zero quality for everyone including the poster. Only someone far too stupid to edit the motd would believe a binary has content value to anyone.

10/21 where does lynx store its cookies, and why can't I get a yahoo login cookie to persist? I go into my yahoo portfolio manually, log in and set "remember my password", but if I restart lynx, or quit it and do a lynx -dump, the cookie is gone and I get the login page again. \_ man lynx, read about cookies. don't forget to make sure your cookie file is world readable so i can see how much money you've lost in the market recently. -oj \_ Hmm, i'm that obvious? Anyway thanks, "RTFM" was sufficiently helpful |
