2/7 <DEAD>www.whypeoplewhodeleteotherpeoplesurlssuck.com<DEAD> \_ How do you delete a person? Is that a new feature in the GN00 rm? \_ Unfortunately, the "deleteperson" API is not yet fully implemented in this version of the product, although our engineers are working hard on it at this very moment. Please enjoy the use of the fully functional "deletepersonsurl" API call instead. Licensing fees are still being worked out for the deleteperson call for different OS's. |

2/7 http://www.brunching.com/features/domifex.html \_ Please post descriptions or you risk someone deleting your URL. \_ hey no fair, I never deleted any URLs. - someone \_ why does people not posting descriptions get your panties in sucha bunch anyway? Get over yourself. \_ I don't care, but apparently others do. This URL was deleted twice and I restored it. That's why I posted the warning. |

2/7 How does one start internet explorer (or netscape) on windows
using java? I've tried something like:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("netscape <DEAD>www.someurl.com"<DEAD>
but this doesn't work. TIA.
\_ what error do you get? perhaps you need to specify the path
to the netscape/ie exe files? There might also be a way to get
the system to launch the default browser (perhaps with the Windows
start command?)
\_ java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: netscape.exe error=2
java doesn't like spaces in the path name to the executable,
and on different systems, these executables might not be using
the same exact path.
\_ http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/qow/archive/15/index.html
\_ I tried their suggestion e.g. "start iexplore <DEAD>someurl"<DEAD>
but this didn't seem to work, but I figured out something that
will work:
"cmd.exe /c start iexplore <DEAD>someurl"<DEAD>
without specifying iexplore or netscape bringing up the
browser is much slower.
\_ This doesn't leave an ugly dos box behind on the screen?
\_ DOS is not UGLY!
\_ it's also not technically
a DOS box, since the original
poster is clearly using NT.
\_ It's a DOS box. Thanks for
your input.
\_ Just on startup for a moment, then it goes away.
\_ for the lazy:
String[] s = {"cmd","/c","start","iexplore","<DEAD>sex.com"};<DEAD>
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(s);
\_ I think the better way to do this is to use the Windows API. There
should be a Java binding to the WinAPI out there. You should call
ShellExecute on the file.
\_ thx, I'll look into this.
\_ Its pretty easy to write a JNI wrapper for the one or two
functions you need. I've done it before for futzing with
the registry from java. ----ranga |

2/8 The CSUA should have a date auction to raise money.
\_ Raise money for what? 'oors?
\_ who the hell would pay money to date CSUA members?
\_ would you pay to *not* date CSUA members? we had fundraisers
on this principle at my highschool. people paid people like
me to stop singing. we had amplified sound in the cafeteria,
and made alot of money.
\_ you are the exception
\_ why pay when i could just walk away?
\_ help the csua male populaiton would pay to date even the ugly
\_ ...and eat lunch outdoors, in the winter, in New England,
by yourself. No, when people heard my singing, they started
handing out fives and tens to make the noise stop.
\_ uh huh.
\_ half the csua male population would pay to date even the ugly
and dumb female csuaers.
\_ There are female sodas!?! Can I have one?
\_ man, the last semester being in Soda, there were a few
young and cute girls in the classes. Dang!
\_ Both of em huh?
\_ go take a cold shower. women are for the weak.
\_ Your blood line SHALL end HERE!
\_ let go your pitiful evolutionary struggles.
kids are 20 years of money and trouble, and so are
women. man with 20 kids shall be just as dead as geek.
|_ is there a single decent-looking soda female?
\_ on the whole they look better than the males
\_ uh like who for instance? liladog? |

2/9 http://www.skyflow.com \_ wow. why isn't this linked from http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~adj/research \_ those pics of grinning, ethnically-diverse phone users are gay \_ gay? You can tell that from over the net? \_ i referred to the pics. for inanimate objects or pieces of data to be called 'gay' is a usage that transcends the literal meaning of the word 'gay,' much as with the ubiquitous terms 'suck' and 'lame.' Unfortunately there are no proper English synonyms for the meanings embodied by these three words: 'suck' verb, an antonym of 'excel' 'lame' adj, to be disapproved of and/or inferior 'gay' adj, to be excessively fruity and/or jolly \_ http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=suck http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=lame http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=lame The dictionary meanings are not only more complete than yours, but more accurate *and* precise when referring to the slang use of the words. Not only are there proper English synonyms for these words, but you seem to have misunderstood what the slang terms mean. Silly geek, try a dictionary next time. \_ actually that dictionary is in error. just looking at its slang definitions of suck: >To behave obsequiously; fawn. Often used with up >To be disgustingly disagreeable or offensive >To perform fellatio on none of these capture the common usage of the day; saying that something sucks usually does not mean "disgustingly disagreeable or offensive" but rather more along the lines of being crappy, or as in: "johnny sucked at quake." i defy you to provide a satisfactory synonym for that. also the gay thing ain't in there. |

2/8 Anyone out there know of any decent software that can detect
hard disk failures or disk failure pre-conditions? I'm on a
linux box with IDE drives on a 3-ware card. TIA.
\_ You have a linSUX box and you are worried about failure
detection?!? Get a real OS and run it on some real
hardware before you start worrying about stuff like
this pengiun boi. |

2/8 will BSD (preferably) or linux mount(ww) SolarisX86 UFS disks?
Do you need to specify any type besides just ufs?
\_ Don't know about X86 UFS, but OpenBSD used to be able to
mount SunOS and Solaris disks.
mount SunOS and Solaris disks on a Sparc.
\_ I don't even think you can get Sparc Solaris to mount
X86 solaris ufs disks.
\_ Yes, Linux can mount the Solaris X86 UFS disks just fine.
Just make sure that your kernel has BSD disklabel support as well
as the Solaris ufs extensions.
\_ FreeBSD can: mount -t ufs |
