win98. In which case you deserve it. -John

\_ OrCAD still sucks
\_ Any URL where I can find a warning from CERN?
\_ Any URL where I can find a warning from CERT?
\_ If CERT issued a warning it would be on their web site.
Since it's not, they haven't bothered. They don't issue
alerts for every new MS virus or they'd be spending all
their time doing that.
\_ Open outlook. Go to Tools/options/security. Set to 'restricted'.
Go to IE's tools/options/security/restricted. Set everything to
disabled. Learn lesson that M$ never learned about keeping data
separate from code. Thou shalt not make active data types.
\_ Windows Update. Eyedog control ActiveX patch. Problem dealt with.
\_ obFormatHardDiskInstallLinux
\_ Linux? I thought we're talking about security not k00lness?
The mindless Linux crowd pisses me off just as much as the
equally ignorant Windows crowd. -pissed off by stupidity
\_ actually I'm a Windoze user that posted the ob comment
\_ Gach! Surrounded! It's hopeless!
\_ If you want extra secure use OpenBSD. If you want
complete security unplug your network from your computer.
\_ Never mind; I was high on crack at the time. -Phil
\_ Impersonating Phil in the motd should be a
squishable offense. Doing so as badly as
the above person should be a capital offense.
\_ But the network IS the computer. Phil told me!
\_ Non-Phil forgeries deleted. -Phil
\_ Non-Phil forgeries deleted. -Non-Phil
\_ damn philforge don't work worth a damn...
\_ be even more secure, unplug the computer.
\_ Whoa! This is stunningly original! Can I quote
you on this? |

\_ Disk space is cheap. I can get a 10 GIG HD for $200. These people
are only costing CSUA 1-2 dollars. What is your point?
\_ Our point is that your account costs us nothing to squish,
and nothing << 1-2 dollars. -root
\_ The mail spool is FULL. Duh.
\_ Then buy us a 10 Gig, highly reliable, SCSI disk then, rich boy. |

11/10 If each semester is only $2000, and each student averages 14
units a semester, how much would lectures and discussions be,
per hour based?
\_ *Only* $2000 a semester? Maybe to your daddy.
\_ not sure about Berkeley, but a friend of mine at Harvard Med
\_ Well, gee, let me get out M$Calc. Do you math, idiot. And the
says that each lecture is about $200/hour. Can you believe that?
\_ Well, gee, let me get out M$Calc. Do your math, idiot. And the
average is 15 units for people who want to graduate in this
lifetime.
\_ What's the average hr per unit? # of weeks in a semester?
Should lab hours be counted?
\_ Where have you been? It's supposed to be 1 unit of
credit = 15 hours of class over 15 weeks. So a 4
unit class is 4 hours/week * 15 weeks = 60 hours.
Labs tend to fuck this up but I don't take any lab
classes so I don't care. 15 units/semester is the
standard. Where are you people getting this 14 and
16 and other crap from?
ED! ED! ED is the standard! number of units per semester _/
\_ Assume 16 units/sem, 4 units/class, 1 class/4hr lec+discussion,
you end up paying about $9 per hour. Conclusion: You can
really afford falling asleep in lectures afterall. Of course,
med school is a totally different story.
\_ w0w, Publik sk00l is cheap!!
\_ Well, UCLA Med is $4000/semester with 16wk semesters (not
including 2wks for tests) and about 6.5hrs class/day.
Therefore it is ~$7.7 per hour of lecture/lab. Include
tests, and rotations at infinite hours per week and that
number falls to probably $4-5 / hr. -drex
\_ I calculated about $10/hr about 5 years ago. |

11/10 http://www.m-w.com/book/elecprod/vocabbdr.htm \_ proof that Amazon (book monopoly) is bad for consumers \_ Why? Because you can buy from them OR B&N? \_ Amazon does not have a book monopoly. And although M$ is a bad monopoly, not all monopolies are bad. \-what is an example of a non-bad monopoly? \_ I think utilities are the canonical example. W/ competition the public loses returns to scale. But it does need more regulatin' \-well PU are an exercise in regulation \_ What? You're selling your SO's sexual activity? \_ you thought she was privately held, but in reality, publicly traded \_ I was there at the IPO but sold out soon after. She released more shares to the public which dramatically diluted her value. \_ did you get in as friends & family at a substantially lower price? \_ I had the Preferred Customer price. and thats where the problems come from. so this is a bad example of a non-bad monopoly. if you are interested in an interesting study on this look at Train: Optimal Regulation [Train = UCB Econ]. There may be some interesting cases where a monopoly is a property right that ought to be granted to someone and is an efficent solution to a problem. This can either be an auction distributed right to fish/airwaves etc or something like an alternative to a side-payment system ... say instead of moving african natives from some place you want to become a wildlife preserve or paying them off, give them a monopoly on say camera film sales. --psb \_ a monopoly over your SO's sexual activity? \-i dont think pimps having exclusive rights is particularly good for the hos. i suspect it isnt good for the public either. --psb \_ silly, twisted sodans, I speak of a gf's/bf's monogamy. SO != prostitute. (I hope.) \_why is that URL proof that amazon is a book monopoly? |
