3/1 Anybody know if there are stores (or companies) that sells milk in glass bottles rather than 1 gallon plastic containers. Glass is more readily recycleable. Thanks. \_ Yes, but you'll pay for the privilege. Check out stores like Whole Foods and Wild Oats. I personally buy my milk in cartons from Horizon Dairy. --dim \_ andronico's and (as stated above whole foods) -hahnak \_ Lucky (Albertson) does. BTW are the glass bottles reused or just recycled? -- yuen \_ duh. \_ Strauss milk comes in glass bottles. You pay an extra dollar for the bottle, which is refunded by the store when you return it. Don't forget to buy a bottle cap, $0.75. Like Horizon, it's organic. --pld \_ and it tastes a hell of a lot better than generic milk \_ If you really care about the environment, don't drink milk. \_ If you really care about the environment, drink breast milk. \_ yummy \_ You can not buy dairy products and use dick cheese in your cheeseburgers |

3/2 "He was plotting it for around two weeks, jokingly, saying he was going to extort money from these companies. Then all of a sudden he got dared to do it, and 10 minutes later Yahoo! was down. He never made extortion demands," the source said. We should all be thankful he got scared and didn't carry out his next idea, and that no one else feels the need to do this either," the source wrote. "He had a DDoS (distributed denial of service) tool that he wrote installed on all of his hacked boxes. He was planning on using all 1,000 machines in a combined attack on the Root Nameservers, flooding the Nameservice ports with UDP packets." "He is safe and he knows it, he deleted all evidence off his machine. ...He is very well aware that there isn't any way to prove a smurf attack after the fact." http://www.msnbc.com \_ Hear that tjb?

3/2 http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2000/02-28w2k.asp Microsoft INVENTS symbolic links!!! They are so cool! \_ WINDOWS. WINDOWS IS THE STANDARD OS. EVERYONE USES WINDOWS. LINUX SUX. \_ Well M$ coined the term "DNS" too. \_ Well, the thing they have is a little more complicated than that. They have an actual process go out to the file system and look for shit to compress. In essence it is a cludgy hack that should be replaced by an encrypting/compressing filesystem. \_ Digital Integrity's (Aiken's brainchild) is doing a lot more interesting things than this. \_ Aiken's is brilliant, but who is making more money? ACADEMIA SUX AND INDUSTRY R3WLS!!! |

3/2 I know better than to ask for tax assistance in the motd, but I'm a glutton for punishment. So anyways, like, what is the formula btwn the number of allowances I can claim and how much is actually withheld (when filling out your W-4)? How can I determine how many allowances I must have in order to have 0 state and fed income tax withheld? --sky \_ This is one case in which you should NOT CONSULT THE IRS. The worksheet that comes w/ the form is WRONG. So unless you want to pay $6K at year end, do not use it. In normal case, if you are single, claim one. If homeowner or married, more than that but not on both of your forms. Of course, you can get away with claiming 10 like I did one yr but chronically owing a large amount of taxes at every year end will get you a fat IRS "penalty". You can have near $0 withheld if you claim enuf. NOTE: some types of income they *must* withheld. \_ There should be a worksheet that comes with your W-4 that help you calculate the number of allowances you should put down. \_ Consult HR, CPA or IRS. \_ You can't have nothing withheld. The IRS will charge you huge fines and/or throw your ass in jail for tax evasion. \_ I end up geting way over taxed each year because the rate i am taxed at assumes I work 12 months at that rate. But I always end up taking 3 or 4 months off a year. And I am too lazy to do my taxes, so the gubbament just keeps my cheese. I would much rather put my money in short term treasury bonds and actually get paid interest on the money I am loaning to the government rather than piss it away in he wind. -sky \_ Btw, sky did you know your interest is taxed also? \_ Just think of it as a down payment for the meth rehab and prison housing bills the governement is going to be paying on your behalf in the future. \_ Really? The government is gonna foot the bill? I've had it all wrong. These government guys sound prety swell --sky \_ Not exactly. They're going to whore your pretty boy ass out to the rougher inmates to keep them inline. It's a lot cheaper than buying the other inmates more rec rooms and TV's or hiring more guards. \_ It's actually illegal to not file a return, regardless of whether or not you owe additional taxes or have a refund coming. \_ Unless you have no withholding, and less income than the standard deduction/exemptions. \_ Remember the part about knowing better than to take motd tax advice? Consult your tax advisor or the IRS for reliable information on who must file. The above is not quite correct. |

3/1 Please clean out /var/mail (your mailbox). Was 100% full but i just cleaned out over 1MB. \_ Encourage use of a real mail tool like [n]MH to avoid keeping your mail in /var/mail. \_ or use procmail/slocal to automatically move mail to your local directory \_ No need for procmail. echo $HOME/Mailbox >.forward \_ can't we just delete ALL the alumni who have not attended CSUA meeting in the last X number of years or who have not made generous donation to CSUA? I bet that'd free up a of space. Furthermore, less user = less complaint \_ You're not very bright, are you? \_ Yeah, it's more important to have some extra mail spool space than first shot at jobs and free clue and hardware. Good plan. Dump the evil alumni who steal our mail spool space, most of whom are storing their mail in their home directory because _they_ have clue. Please tell me you're a troll. I'll feel better being trolled than if you're real. |
