6/22    There's talk among the faculty of making bh's CS195 a graduation
        requirement for LSCS and the CS options of EECS. What does the motd
        think?
        \_ The motd thinks mostly about sex, and would rather not include bh
                in those thoughts.
           \_ You mean you don't fantasize about BH being on top of you
              while you're doing the ditty with your significant other?
                \_ gee, you got the joke.  how neat.  -tom
                   \_ thank you.
                      \_ you're welcome
                  \_ you mean coach Luvitz... it's never failed to
                \_ I took it many years ago (last time it was offered
                I think, with Lawler).  It was a fun flake class, but a flake
                class nonetheless. -nweaver
                     to impress me how much bh looks like coach luvitz
                     who occasionally showed up on Growing Pains
                        \_ Is it the googly eyes?
                   \_ nah, it's...the gleaming head!
                \_ All illness removed.  Sorry.  I couldn't take it.

        \_ MANHAM!
        \_ Huh. I guess this means they really DO all look alike.
                \_ And you're a pinko.
                   \_ Since when does racism (or trolling in this case)

        requirement together with the Humanities and Social Studies
        requirement for the College of Engineering?  -ax
        \_ College of Engineering has the easiest Humanities/Social Science/

           do you want it to be?
        \_ Anthro 163AC with Dundes was really really good.  He tries to

6/23    Why doesn't berkeley have a class A network? (geek question)
          -csua geek
        \_ Because we don't rule as much as MIT?
        \_ Because we don't need one and they're reserved for places that do?
           (Not that Class A/B/C mean much in these days of classless routing)
           \_ Don't inferior schools like UCLA, Michigan State, and
              that farm school down there have one?
           \_ Because we never believed in wasting IP space?
        \_ We used to, but those with Class A's were asked to evaluate
           their need for one and UCB decided they didnt need a full A

6/23    Any recomendations for network hardware and mailorder places
        to buy it?  Specifically a hub with 8 10baseT, 1 AUI and 1 BNC
        connectors and some networking cable.

6/22    When is Berkeley ditching Sprintnet?
        \- Since someone touched the subject, what is a *good* backbone
        provider? I see a lot of Sprint/Global-One advertising, but can't
        really tell who's good, who's not.   -leblon
        \_ RSN - see http://ucb.net.announce
        \_ Depends on what you mean by 'good' and how much you're willing to
           pay for it.  MCI used to be good, but with Cable&Brainless buying
           their internet operations, I'd expect them to tank in a year or so.
        \_perhaps page of recommended providers should be maintained, similar
          to the cs books page -nesim

6/22    What's the difference between unix set and setenv?
        \_ setenv sets an environment variable that children of a process
           will have access to. set is accessible only within a given
           process. -dim
        \_ There is no difference - neither one exists.  Some shells
           have a "set" command, some have "setenv", some have both,
           some have neither.  It's a shell thing, not a UNIX command.

6/22    Where's a good place (newsgroup?) to ask stupid and not-so-stupid
        C programming questions?
        \_ C# IS THE STANDARD PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
                \_ I've been using C# since the beginning. It's awesome!
           \_ It's really less of a C-sharp, and more of a D-flat if you know
              what I mean
        \_ alt.csua.motd
        \_ comp.lang.c
