10/19 I'm taking an SITN NDO class. Unlike Berkeley the professor actually
responds to you promptly. Also you can talk to them like normal
people and you don't have to wait in line for the stupid office
hours, or get defered to an undergrad TA like Berkeley jerk professors
do. You can say StanfUrd for all I care, but it is simply a better
school -Cal graduate
\_ it's a stanford class? man, i was over at stanford
dropping stuff off to my stanford buddy, and damn,
there were babes walking all over campus!
mind you, mostly white chicks, a few asians here and there,
but damn, they were cute!!! much better looking than
an cal women. i was glad i got lost looking for his damn
lab =)
\_ I've taken 5 or 6 NDO classes towards a masters degree and I've
found the profs. to be quite friendly. They are usually interested
in what your are doing at work and mostly answer questions promptly.
The TA's kinda suck though, but I guess thats to be expected from
them since they are still pretty young (younger than me that is).
- Cal graduate who is happy with the farm
\_ I've had the same experience at Cal with any prof I actually went
up to. Perhaps you were just too lazy to get off your ass. |

10/19 One might think that a CS group at Berkeley could come up with a
more advanced system of discourse than editing, without locks,
a shared text file.
\_ wall y, bumfuck.
\_ It works. Don't like it? Use that genius of yours to find a better
solution while still maintaining optional anonymity.
\_ Perhaps we can make it a pseudo-device, that allows only serialized
access to the file.
\_ oh please. CSUA != CS, CSUA != XCF, CSUA == sys admin
\_ fuck off. that's so 20th century.
\_ Anonymity is key, boy! As well as elegance! World-writable
motd's are very elegant.

10/20 Except for Graphics, it seems like high level math doesn't seem to
be needed in computer science.
\_ heh heh. heh heh heh. heh.
\_ yes.
\_ except for graphics and for anything that involves fucking
modeling. -ali
\_ well there's that whole crypto thing...
\_ I want to fuck a model. Does that require high level math?
\_ no. - paolo.
\_ in fact, having high-level math would probably hurt
your chances.
\_ yes. -math alum
\_ this is bullshit. it's true that math major can't score,
but well positioned math skills always help you score.
chicks dig guys who do math. it completes them.
it's a well known fact. -ali.
\_ if you include abstract algebra, then it is a big help in
compiler implementation, language design, AI language processing...
if you include topology and/or graph theory, then it is useful
all over the place. there are more examples but the motd
isn't big enough.
\_ Abstract algebra for 'AI language processing'? Where are you
pulling this shit out of? Idiot. Go learn AI.
\_ The motd is infinite!!! |

4/203 April never ended.
1974AD = 53Ce
the empire never ended. PKD RIP.
\_ ???
\_ read Valis.
\_ Does that mean no more birthdays? Do we all stop aging?
\_ April is the cruelest month.
\_ England does not have freedom, Tom.
Recently England jailed a man for
killing a burglar.
\_ ah, so "freedom" includes
"freedom to murder". -tom
\_ We call it self defense.
I suggest that you should
be imprisoned and retrained
for assaulting that poor
guy at the ATM who only
wanted you to share your
wealth.
\_ I don't know, but England did
abolish slavery in the 1830s.
\_ Hello? Modern times? England
still had colonies until the
middle of the 20th century, too.
What's either have to do with
modern England? You're right.
You _don't_ know.
\_ Like US has no colonies now?
\_ Well ya know what they say... a Republican is a Democrat
that's been mugged. I'm sure Tom will be thrilled to know
the cops will show up 90 minutes later to take a report
after some garbage busts into his house, robs the place,
and beats the shit out of him. Another favorite is "a
young man that isn't liberal has no heart, a grown man
that isn't conservative is a fool".
\_ oh incidentally; I was mugged once, at an ATM in
San Bruno, and fought the guy off. If either of us
had had a gun I might have been shot. -tom
\_ I was mugged and am still a liberal. Also, it is
"old man" not "grown man" in your quote. -ausman
\_ it's also "has no brain" rather than "is
a fool". -tom
\_ Well, what can you expect from someone
with no brain.
\_ Ok, so how exactly would strict guns laws that
keep citizens from arming themselves have kept
your attacker from being armed? Law don't keep
anyone from doing anything. They provide a post-
facto punishment. If he was willing to assault
and rob you, he's already not concerned with
post-crime punishment. And while we're at it,
if you'd had a weapon, you could have apprehended
the criminal so he wouldn't turn on some other
person less able to physically defend themselves.
Thank you for making the streets more dangerous
by teaching a criminal how to better choose his
victims.
\_ Garbage! Gun laws are not for keeping
law-abiding citizens from owning guns.
\_ What? Are you nuts? Who are they written
to keep guns from then? Are you talking
about the U.S. or somewhere else? Of
*course* gun laws are written to keep
law abiding citizens from having guns.
--not NRA member or gun owner but awake
\_ They are written to keep them from
people who want to own guns but
can't or do not want to handle
the responsibilities that go with
it. Are you pretending to be
stupid? - responsible gun owner.
\_ Hi troll.
\_ Here's a funny cartoon on the subject:

10/20 Who should I report spam to? I've received about an email a day from
gtreet245@excite.com
\_ /dev/null
\_ Autopurging spam with procmail is easy, fun, and satisfying.
\_ spamrecycle@ChooseYourMail.com collects stats. Include the name
of your state and that you didn't want the mail and they lobby
your senator. |
