12/5 When are class accounts turned off?
\_ The day after finals.
\_ Why the _FUCK_ are you asking this on the Soda motd? Cripes,
get a cl00. --sowings
\_ Have you tried reading the login messages on your class account
or <DEAD>www-inst.eecs<DEAD> ? |

12/5 Got LOTS of old books (comic books, 1991 text books, etc) and an old
computer monitor to get rid of. Can I simply dump these things into
the trashcan?
\_ throw them in my room! - danh
\_ it is illegal to dump industrial waste. you need to dispose them
properly.
\_ monitors qualify as "industrial waste"?
\_ no, silly. comic books do!
\_ this is as useful as "Ride bike" and "use linux", troller!
\_ No it isn't. Everyone needs to RIBE BIKE! and USE LINUX! but
not "read comix!" or "eat industrial waste!"
\_ U53 W1ND0Z3 MAN. W1N98 15 50 KRAD. 1T CAN RUN 3V3RYTH1N6
THAT L1NUX CANT MAN. SO USE W1ND0Z3 CUZ 1T5 C00L
\_ I even run Linux under windows.
\_ trashcan. You will not live long enough to see the ecological
disaster that we gen-X created.
\_ Moron. The current 20-30s folks have done next to nothing.
You're not old enough and most of the crap you have will bio
degrade in under 10 years anyway. The real damage was done in
the 60's and 70's when all sorts of chemical waste was dumped
straight into the food chain and it's still there today. Check
the cancer rates going up and the fertility rates going down
over the last 30 years. Idiot child, you'll be lucky to live
long enough to understand the ecological disaster created before
you were even born that you're living in today. Don't worry
about your grandkids. If you're not sterile, your children
will be.
\_ Nothing you throw away biodegrades. Modern landfills are
designed to be so sanitary and disease free, they're
sterile - especially parts declared full and sealed off.
\_ I was specifically thinking of the waste from fast food.
Anyway, after the Coming Event, there won't be anyone to
keep nature from running her course. |

12/6 Is anyone speaking at the GM?
12/7(?) Can anyone point me to a good CISC vs. RISC article / paper? Thanx.
\_ Patterson & Hennessey
\_ something like "A case for RISC" from Computer Architecture
News" by David Patterson (1980). There's also a very famous
dissertation from a Berkeley student. If you give me some
time I'll look it up. |

12/6 2 Q's. Just found a bottle of T-Max, fix powder, and stop bath.
They are approx 6 years old. Are they still usable? 2nd Q. What
is a good on-line darkroom supply store? Thx.
\_ ED! ED! ED is the STANDARD! On-Line Darkroom Supply Store.
\_ Almost certainly not. Don't be cheap. Buy new chemicals.

12/7(?) Can anyone point me to a good CISC vs. RISC article / paper? Thanx.
\_ Wasn't the consensus that the argument is meaningless?
Most chips today have the best qualities of both.
\_ No, most designers avoid CISC if at all possible. Intel chips
allow for their legacy CISC ISA to run on their modern
chips but that's just a hack (CISC instructions are decoded
into micro-RISC ops). Basically, many things will not work
unless what you execute are RISC instructions (pipelining,
Tomasulo dynamic execution, etc...). Intel chips suffer in
that all instructions must pass through one extra level of
decoding which could effect branch prediction recovery and
because variable length instructions can cross cache block
boundries instruction causing miss penalties and rates to go up.

\_ Are what they said still more or less valid, now that
it's been two decades and the industry has been moving
fast?
\_ kubi seemed to have recommended the reading to us.
he didn't recommend anything more recent but probably
because more recent work in architecture isn't
focused on ISA as much as it was in the 80's

12/5 When are soda accounts turned off?
\_ The day after finals.
\_ Why the _FUCK_ are you asking this on the Soda motd? Cripes,
get a cl00. --sowings
\_ Have you tried reading the login messages on your class account
or <DEAD>www-inst.eecs<DEAD> ?
\_ never if you mean "csua.soda" ones, but i think you mean "class"
accts. see above.
\_ Correction: your soda account can be shut down for
various reasons, all of which are in the various
policy docs under /csua/share and /csua/adm -- but
soda accounts do not have any built-in time limits.

\_ You mean my account isn't automatically shutoff when I
get enough Twink Points from the Twink God????
\_ No, but Your English sure soundsdumb. Maybe you
should English Classes and learn how to writeit???
\_ You're hypocrticalness iz shownig everyne that
Your just stupid and my english wuz better then
You'rez so you just shutup. In fact, my English
was perfect. Please check with your 3rd grade
teacher before posting on the motd about someone
else's spelling, grammar, or syntax. Thanks.
