much less 4. what the fuck is wrong with you people?
\_ how about, 4 sodans got together and purchased
a hummer?
\_ how about 1 sodan bought 4 hummers?
\_ Why not? It's under 100k fully loaded new. There's
lots of .com cash floating around soda.
\_ They aren't that expensive. I know yermom
doesn't charge anything for hummers.

6/26 Trying to install Apache-ssl on solaris. I have neither /dev/random
nor /dev/urandom. Do i really need them? Where can i get them? /
how do i get around needing them?
\_ You can't get them. Try reading the instructions - other people
run on Solaris, so there must be a workaround.
\_ you CAN get /dev/random, FROM SUN. you have to know whewre
to look. but you dont "need" them, anyway. |

6/26 6-12 month internships available at Cisco. See
/csua/pub/jobs/Cisco.METBU.Intern. Also see /csua/pub/jobs/Cisco.METBU
for available full-time positions. - asaddi
\_ Obwaitwhileithinkofhowicanbelittleyouandyourjobadvertisement
\_ Please be gentle. It's my first time.
\_ If you hope to be in the ESPP program or get Options
that day and age is over @ cisco. I got ESPP but I was
an intern over 3 yrs ago. Also the intern to full time
conversion has fallen off over the years. The interns
also get pretty shitty work conditions.
\_ I heard some weird shit about Cisco being
first-come-first-serve for cubicles each day. Is it true?
\_ Probably true for sales people.
\_ Not for engineers. Some of the one who have been
there for several years do have enough clout (and
stock) to randomly ask for a new office or a extra
cube. The best I saw is when a VP got kicked out of
his office cause he pissed off one of the guys whose
badge # is less than 200. Very Cool that engineers
have that kind of power. (The VP sucked too).
\_ Cisco, what a silly company.
\_ With incredibly self-defeating HR hiring and retention
policies... - BTDT
\_ With a (formerly) great ESPP and Options program. The
problem is that most old timers view the new comers as
leaches only interested in the $'s, so there is a lot of
bad blood between new hires and the project leads.
\_ well, if cisco created something rather than buying
90% of their new technology...
\_ can I order any Cisco Press book for free? |

6/26 Bike patented today.
\_ urlp || explanationp
\_ Like, dude. If you want to be using lisp notation, at least
have the decency to do it right. What you meant to say was,
of course,
(or urlp explanationp)
\_ Today??? How could it not be patented after all these years?
\_ That's a velocipede, not a bike. And it's from 1866.
\_ well, it's an intermediate step; it has pedals on the
front wheel, which the early velocipedes didn't. As
people realized the mechanical advantage of larger wheels,
this kind of model gave way to the "high-wheeler" (icon
of "The Prisoner"). Those had a high center of gravity
and tended to pitch people over the front wheel, so they
were eventually eliminated in favor of the chain-drive
"safety bicycle", which really was very similar to the
one we know today.
I still don't see why it's relevant to the MOTD. -tom
\_ The motd is irrelevant. You will be assualted.
\_ so tom. what IS relevant to the motd? I'm
somewhat curious how you're going to unify
questions about heat/light reflectivity, dating
asians, unholy unions with cars, skydiving,
and investment decisions in such a way as to
make the above IRrelevant.
\_ It's based solely on what personally interests
tom. Anything else isn't important.
\_ My question is, why should anyone care that a
particular implementation of something was patented
on a particular day. Big fucking deal. -tom
\_ While I agree that patent-birthdays aren't
very interesting. But claiming that it's not
relevant to the motd is -- oh fuck it. whatever.
\_ It's just tom. Don't let it bother you.
\_ heard it somewhere. However, the date seems to be wrong. It
seems to be on November, and not June 26:
