6/28 In vi I can do 5dw, 5w, d$, 2cw, etc... how do you do that in emacs?
\_ fuck you
\_ Specify a numeric arg: M-n n n, or C-n n n, or C-u n n n. Commands
like cw don't make sense because they assume a modal paradigm.
\_ M-x viper-mode |

6/28 I've generated a list of popular trolls. Now I'm wondering
what are some examples of a good meta-trolls?
\_ self-referential ones are good.
\_ Like, say, this one
\_ Hello aaron!
/- You people are ALL NUTS, sheesh!
\_ Learn some English, buddy. |

6/29 Why do muscles swell during a workout? I don't understand the benefit
or the method (ie, how do the cells suddenly become hypertonic to the
rest of the body?)
\_ besides "looking good", what are some actual physiological
benefit of working out? Wouldn't aerobic excercise be better than
is the pump. Your muscles get filled with blood." -Arnold
just pumping out?
\_ there is no benefit to being a pumped up monster. however,
being in good cardiovascular condition and being generally
toned and strong is just good health.
\_ Well, what do you mean by "better"? If you're trying to lose
weight, doing both is good, because the more muscle mass you
have, the more calories your body's burning just sitting
around doing nothing. Cardiovascular exercise itself actually
burns more calories while you're doing it, of course.
\_ In some sports such as football and basketball being big
and strong can be a significant advantage. Also, being big
helps prevent injury (assuming you don't lose flexibility).
\_ The blood does go to your muscles, which leaves less in
your veins. Your body compensates by adding water to your
bloodstream, which can cause you to get incredibly thirsty
Finally, if you're scrawny people tend to pick on you, while
if you're buff, everyone acts friendly. Once you finish
high school this isn't as big a deal, though.
\_ Only if you goto a nerdy school like cal surrounded by
nerds. Otherwise at other schools, it's almost the same
(except you dont get physically picked on).
After that, it's almost the opposite. The big hulking
guys cant get a good job, but the scrawy ones with brains
do an IPO and get rich and then everyone acts friendly.
\_ Keep dreaming, wimp.
\_ blood
\_ "The first thing you notice when you begin to work out
is the pump. Your penis get filled with blood." -Arnold
\_ The blood does go to your penis, which leaves less in
your brain. Your body compensates by adding water to your
bloodstream, which can cause you to get incredibly horny
very quickly.
\_ when you work out, you use up oxygen more as respiration process
to produce ATP. Most likely, when the oxygen level of your
blood stream lowers, a negative feedback pathway will
increase the heart beat rate to pump more blood (thus
oxygen) into the circulatory path way. |

6/29 Death to ASUC, CTE, and Neds! http://VarsityBooks.com and http://eCampus.com, go go go! \_ does your penis swell during a blowjob? |
| 2000/6/29-7/1 [Computer/HW/CPU] UID:18568 Activity:very high |
6/29 A typical 32 bit RISC architecture has 32 bits/instruction. That
means each instruction is 32 bits, w/6 bits op code and the rest
is operands, const, etc. RISC binaries are usually bigger than
that of variable instruction set CISC (e.g. x86, Java byte code).
So does that mean a 64 bit machine with binaries compiled for its
native instruction set have a much bigger size than that of the
original 32 bit counterpart because the operands and const are now
much bigger?
\_ no. that just means that your register sizes can be up to
64-bits wide without artificial concatination like in the
MIPS I/II ISA. MIPS III/IV which are both 64-bit architectures
still use 32 bit instructions but their registers are larger
and are capable of using 40/44-bit addressing. CISC instructions
on average, are not considerably smaller than RISC because of
their variable lengths. Keep in mind that many CISC instructions
actually exceed 32-bits.
\_ so what happens when I have two operands that are 32
bits, and would overflow on a 32 bit machine but not on a
64 bit machine? Also, do 32 bit operands get sign
extend? Also, wouldn't you need a 64 bit instruction
to do the following more efficiently:
(word1<<32|word2)+(word3<<32|word4)?
\_ What does this have to do with swelling biological tissue?
\_ There are special intructions to load values into
the upper portion of the 64-bit registers. I don't
know what they are off the top of my head but
download the MIPS IV ISA manual and you can find
out. In terms of doing things efficiently, it is.
You have to look at things from a statistical
point of view. Each 64-bit value comprise of 4
16-bits so theoretically you would need 4 instructions
to form a single value. But for the common case,
most of those 16-bits are just zeros so it's not
as bad as you think. And if you think about it,
it's much more efficient to do something with 4
instructions than to do it with 2 instructions
that are double the size because in the latter case
you force all instructions to double in size which
isn't necessary.
\_ just to add to that, many program store constants
in a certain part of the binary so it's a matter
of issuing a lw.d instruction.
\_ You use registers instead of immediates, dumbass.
\_ ali, is that you?
\_ no. obviously, you don't understand my style.
i only talk shit at people who think they know
something, give out wrong answers, and become
irate when you suggest to them that they should
add some uncertainty in their answers when they
clearly don't know what they're talking about.
i think the above is exemplary of what a good
motd exchange should look like. -ali
\_Because without ali here to keep things straight,
the motd would be full of anonymous trolls and
wrong answers and oh my! We all owe a big
debt to ali for keeping the motd the pure source
of factual information that it is! Three
cheers for ali!!!
\_ the arrogant punk speaketh again!
- anti-ali association (AAA)
\_ Why do you have a problem with arrogance?
So the man is smarter than you and knows
it. I mean it's not like it takes much
to be smarter than you.
\_ Arrogance is a bad thing. Being smarter
is not. Being smarter is not the same
thing as arrogance. Try a dictionary.
--smarter than you
\_ Well said.
\_ Why is arrogance a bad thing? A
smarter person is better than a less
smart person and should treat the less
smart person accordingly.
\_ Arrogance is a Bad Thing because if
we all lived the way you'd have it,
life would suck for everyone. You
especially, I figure.
--smarter than you
\_ Why would it suck? I am prepared
to defer to my intellectual
superiors. This lame appeal
to Kantian ethics will get you
nowhere.
\_ Because Dalai Lama said so!
\_ moron. - the flaming goat
\_ Actually, in sparc, for example, the cpu did 32-bit loads
from memory. So you wanted both the instruction and the
data to be contained in one 32-bit word. If I'm remembering
my horrible sparc-asm encounter correctly.
\_ that dash shouldn't be there
Or maybe that was the 64-bitcpu mess
\_ much more common than loading a 64 bit constant is loading
an immediate address with a small number of bits (like, say 10),
and have that address point to a long constant. on an alpha,
you see a lot of:
lda $1,some_const
ldq $17,0($1)
where some_const is literal label which takes only a few bits
to embed in an instruction. -ali |

6/29 Why does a penis swell during a blowjob? I don't understand the
benefit or the method (ie, how the penis suddenly becomes sensitive
to the tongue?)
\_ blood. neurons.
\_ the blowjob

of your brain ito thinking that you are about to reproduce. |
