3/2 for all you windows ppl, which is the best web server for win98? \_ None. Win98 is a client OS, not a server. \_ Personal web server. \_ get this one; it comes from the m$ website or you can get it along with vis studio. It's remeniscent of the iis setup. \_ Apache. \_ Back orifice. Yes, it has a web server, and if you are running one on winderz you're going to get owned anyway. \_ Don't do this. |

3/2 so, do you think i could get off on the grounds of justifiable homicide if i were to murder my project partners? they'd be more useful as corpses. \_ you have no idea what bad project partners are. i've had partners that were so flat out lazy they didn't touch a single line of code the entire semester, partners that dropped the class without telling, partners that switched groups without telling, and partners that were so stupid that it makes you wonder how they ever got into this school. and then there was my 152 partner who was just about the worst partner ever. be happy that you have bad partners, not sadistic shity ones. -jeff \_ haven't a couple of people have had project partners who were in jail? \_ poor thing. So what did they do? \_ Easily. Just call Paolo as a character witness. -dans \_ paolo would be more useful as a corpse. \_ Hey, that's mean! \_ CSUA, we're petty and vindictive so you don't have to be. But seriously, ask Paolo about the PhilipBox or the Walrus some time. Two of the more heinous partners in the history of CS. -dans \_ you are not allowed to complain until you have randi as a partner. Or that stupid bitch who deleted all of our 162 mutlprocessing project 2 days before it was due. \_ When I was a lab assistant for 60A this chick goes into a panic and is so desperate she insists on dragging me away from my netrek game. She's typed "rm * .bak" in their \_ She typed shared project directory. She's lucky that A) I don't kill \_ I didn't her, B) her partner isn't around to see this, C) she had every single file loaded in emacs, D) I was kind enough to save them out for her and E) not kill her for screwing up \_ save them for her \_ that I didn't kill her a perfectly good base ogg. She asks me to walk her home \_ what the hell is a "base ogg" \_ learn to speak english. DOOSH! then panics at the door. Never help a Sterny. \_ How good she speak English? \_ Korean but not ESL. \_ I think (s)he was making fun of your English. \_ s/he needs to try again. Compared to most of the crap on the motd, my English was perfect. Don't even get me started on this as "Standard American English" is only an ideal in both written and spoken forms. -linguistics alumni \_ I'm using the present tense so that stuff is bullshit. If you don't know what a base ogg is, maybe one of the other 50+ netrek players can help you. Still waiting to see a real problem with what I wrote. \_ Well, you seem to be mixing tenses and "she's typed" isn't proper English. \_ Yes it is. It is a contraction of "She has typed" and is perfectly fine in the present tense. It is very common in \_ at least she just didn't do squat, instead of destroying your project. And nick, I seem to remember she sorta joined our group after the second project or so. (I say sorta cause noone wanted her around but the idiot who nuked our directory that one time, but hey, she kept on comming to our group meetings). informal narratives to revert to present tense. Annoying, but common usage. \_ Sorry for being annoying but it's still acceptable/common. \_ Korean? Was it sky's gf? \_ You helped her? That's just wrong. Idiots should pay the idiot penalty carried by their actions until such time that they learn something, thus ceasing to be an idiot, or they make a mistake so horrible that they die from it. Either way, one less idiot. -dans \_ Of course. She was better looking than the girl I was with at the time. Virginal, though. Hate that. \_ How long have pretty girls been taking advantage of your idiocy? \_ Nah, I was there. She turned pale and panicked at the key moment. She was too naive to know what she was doing. I've been an idiot before but this wasn't it. \_ Your quest to decrease the number of virgins in the world is a noble one. Nevertheless, since you failed in this particular instance, I think you should have sided with my quest to rid the world of idiots. -dans \_ Hey, I had to try. How else to know? I didn't help her after that if it makes you feel any better. \_ randi was my partner in 162. I think this tops anything anyone could possibly complain about. \_ Hi andrew \_ Hi nick \_ Some of the blame rests on classes which _require_ you to work in a group, creating artificial demand for the stupid as project partners. \_ OK, I will toss in Donald Horton, who didn't nothing but write C++ .h files defining how his beautiful, elegant, and totally worthless classes would interface, then when asked to write one trivial piece of code, decided he didn't need to cvs update first, and when it complained about conflicts putting his 10 lines of code into the multi-thousand-line file, he just nazi's his copy (without the weeks worth of changes) over the top of it and checks it in. Needless to say, his account went bye-bye. \_ CVS? In the old days we could only dream of having a stupid partner munch our files with CVS.... |

3/2 is there such a thing as a scsi version of a zip drive, or is just a normal every day zip drive, with a different cable? \_ Ok who let underwater basket weaving major into CSUA? \_ Yes, the SCSI version of a zip drive is different. Attempting to plug a parallel zip drive into a SCSI port or a SCSI zip drive into a parallel port would do bad things(TM). If memory serves, SCSI has higher voltage requirements, so it is possible to fry devices if you try to plug a non-SCSI device into a SCSI chain. At one time, iomega offered a zip drive called the zip plus which had the really cool feature of supporting both parallel and SCSI interfaces. Judging from iomega's web site, I don't believe the zip plus is still being made. Device speed according to iomega's site: SCSI zip >> USB zip > parallel zip The SCSI zip is at least twice as fast as the USB zip. -dans \_ I have a zip+ at home. I bought it for my mom's NT machine. I had lots of problems when it was running on the parallel port. It worked fine as a scsi device. \_ Were extorted into buying that Zip SCSI card (really a AHA-150x) because you couldn't use adpaters for your nice 2940? IMO the ZIP+ was a crock |

3/3 Anyone get any PALM shares anywhere near the opening? Any market order folks now sweating out the huge losses? \_ My friend bought 1K at $40. He's not sweating anything. \_ It opened higher than that. Your friend was either in a special program or you're a liar. \_ Is it that hard to believe he was in on a special program? Rare, yes, but not unbelievable. \_ is he or isn't he? Speculation and knee-jerk conjecture are worthless here. Oh wait, this is the motd. \_ isn't calling him a liar pretty worthless too? \_ "was either X or was a liar". No it isn't. \_ Palm priced at $38. My friend got in on a deal before it opened. \_ It opened to the public around $150. \_ and sunked to $90. \_ "sunk" \_ "sank"-/ Inflected Form(s): sank /'sa[ng]k/; or sunk /'s&[ng]k/; sunk; sinkĀ·ing \_ Webster doesn't make the distinction, but sank is generally used for the intransitive sense. \_ you sank my battleship! |

3/3 In un*x is there a way to prevent hostname lookups from, say, *.doubleclick.net? I'd like my computer to take all gethostbyname() lookups to that domain and return an error. Aside from modifying the libsocket source code is there an easier way? \_ They let you have a unix box? Like uhm, yeah, you need to hack the source before you edit the hosts file, local dns records or install junkbusters. \_ a simpler thing would be to just put a static route in your host to make the various doubleclick servers unreachable. -ERic |
