12/11 F-f-f-fuck da print queue \_ heheh, i remember back in the day, i would just try to cancel other people's print jobs. lpcancel or something \_ actually, back in the day, i'd simply turn off the printer. For some reason or another, the entire queue would vanish. I'd then turn the printer back on. \_ I'd just nuke the queue and put my print job in first. - former root@cory \_ I didnt need to nuke the queue, just submitted mine as the top priority -- former illegal root@cory \_ In the beginning, you could cancel other people's jobs, then somebody (root) changed it. And powering off only killed the top queued job. i wonder what it is now... \_ Do they still allow you to enscript a postscript file? Or has a filter been put in place? \_ i patched enscript to stop this -brg |

12/11 what should/can i do when my boss pisses me off? \_ offer him/her sex. \_ threaten to quit. demand a Lego desk. \_ walk around your office pretending to be edward norton from "fight club". \_ One former coworker used to piss on the toilet seat because he hated his job but didn't have the guts to find another. Only the three of us (the boss, him, and me) used that men's room on that floor, so it was pretty obvious who it was. |

12/11 Using less to read multiple files. How do I jump to the next file when the first is finished? \_ :n \_ thanks. Is there a quicker shortcut? \_ sure. get a keyboard with a ":n" key on it \_ uh, when you're finished with the first file, it should advance to the next one automatically. \_ you know i don't think it does \_ does for me. use "less -e" or "less -E" \_ +1 point for asking "How do I..." instead of "How to...". -1 point for the "Using less..." fragment. |

12/11 What are the security implecations of allowing the Delete method? Does apache allow that by default? Does it really mean that any user could send a header commanding your server to delete any file that nobody is able to write? If so, how do you disable this methd? \_ Something like <Directory /> Deny all Allow GET PUT other-explicit-methods-you-like </Directory> |

12/12 Is it possible to keep the same key each time SSH is changed/ upgraded? \_ They key has never changed. The problem lies in the fact that soda has a really really old key the 2 ssh programs treat the keys differently. Really old version of ssh created 1023 bit keys instead of 1024 and ssh has continued to lie about the keysize. OpenSSH's sshd, on the other hand tells the truth. This confuses your ssh client. -mikeh \_ I think that you can fix this by editing the length field for the key in your $HOME/known_hosts file. |

12/11 Does anyone know of a Palm application designed to store passwords, credit card info, etc. that has encryption, requires password entry for access, enables you to sync with your PC, access all the info on your PC, and import/export the info between your PC application and, for example, a tab seperated text file? -asb (if you send me email, please send it to asb@eci.ucsb.edu) \_ Speaking of UCSB, my ex-roomie was a sorority girl from UCSB who came to attend Boalt School of Law. I did not have sex with her, but at least she got into a better school than Hastings. \_ Forget about your silly whims, it doesn't fit the plan. |

12/11 after numerous "Last renewal notice", hopefully, i don't hear from newsweek anymore. anyway, what is a good general science periodic for subscription? your comment is appreciated. \_ Science (http://www.aaas.org - tends to be a little bit biology heavy, but never content-free. -brg \- you were subscribing to newsweek as a "general science periodic"? the economist is a far superior substitude for newsweek, with pretty good science coverage. --psb \_ no, just that i realized i mostly read the articles about science and technology most of the time... anyhow, i am looking for science journal that covers a board range of topics. \_ What's with psb and his Economist? \_Scientific American is a good starting point (yes, I know it is a monthly mag); if you're ready, you can also subscribe to Nature. \_ I agree SA is pretty good. Another decent one is Science News. Nature has always been too bio/chem related for me. ----ranga \_ I agree, Science News is good. It's kind of thin, but it gives a good overview of current science news. \_ Its weekly (or used to be) and I could usually read it in one or two sittings. Another good one was Science Digest, but I think it is defunct now. \_ Science and Nature are the only ways to go. Science I think is a little better for news/tech. SA is way too delayed to be a useful news service. \_ There's a huge *leap* from reading science articles in newsweek to reading Science or Nature. The former is a pathetic distillation for the general public, the latter are peer-reviewed(kinda) scientific journals, often reporting experiments, methods, raw data, etc. Read them before you decide to subscribe. Science, btw, is non-profit, Nature, is for profit. If you want a simple upgrade from Newsweek, Discover might be the better way to go, intellectually. \_ Yeah. Discover is not bad, its better than say Popular Science and Popular Mechanics. |

12/12 This may sound wierd but is there a way for a program compiled with the -g debugging option to examine its own stack frame? I once ran a program that, whenever it crashed, did an automatic backtrace on itself and dumped it to stderr. \_ ~mconst/src/gdbcall will let your program run gdb commands (like "backtrace") on itself. --mconst \_ another toy, that helped destroy, the elder race of man. \_ You can do this in assembly, catch an exception and simply check your stack register and walk all the way up \_ How about catching SIGBUS, dumping core and then running gdb backtrace on the resulting core file. |

12/12 Does anyone know of a good website where I can get reasonably complete and objective evaluation of a variety of cars from a consumer's perspective (comfort, reliability, etc)? I was thining of buying a new car, possibly a sports car... \_ Test drive them. Your needs are probably unique to you. I know people who hate sports cars, because the ride is rough. Sports car enthusiasts look at those wanting a smooth, quiet ride in disdain. If you drive them you'll find out really quickly which cars are for you. --dim \_ http://www.edmunds.com is a very good way to narrow your choices. -- Marco \_ I second that. \_ http://www.Oldsmobile.com Last chance! \_ epinions, carreview \_ The words of the prophets were written on the studio walls. \_ As much as I hate M$, http://carpoint.msn.com is a very good site for this sort of comparison. \_ Buy me your top 20 or 30 cars. I'll drive them around for a few weeks each and report back to you. \_ http://www.carfree.com \_ Get the great new book, _Divorce_Your_Car_ \_ this is written by "Hippie Press", following their great hit, "I want to live at home and be spoonfed like a baby by my parents - pass the bong please" \_ Cool.
