        Oh well, not like they'd beat Mich. St. anyway.
        \_ Cal sux.  Hopefully Cal > CSUN.
        \_ What are you talking about?
           \_ Oops, should've realized I'm in geekzone here. Talking about
              NCAA tourney.
                \_ uh, cal is favored by 1.5.  If you're talking about
                   "experts" like Dick Vitale, you should realize that
                   he spends all his time beating off while looking at
                   pictures of coaches like Jerry Tarkanian and Bobby

3/11    Besides "my other car is a cdr", what's the best geek sticker you've
        seen?
        \_ That's hardly a "good" bumper sticker.  It's completely lame.  Or
           maybe that's your point and you actually really do find it "kewl"?
        \_ FEATURE (on a new bug)
           and.. VRFY ME (frame says "my voice is my passport")
        \_ STFU
        \_ "Bus Error! Take the Train!"
        \_ This doesn't really count but my old math teacher's maxima had
           modified plates that read "dy/dx=0"
           \_ My HS chem teachers read "PV=NRT"

        \_ I saw plates once that said 3BPD826.
           \_ What does that one mean?
                \_ Not a God damned thing.  It's a license plate.
        \_ Lamer in my complex with GO7 R3WT
           \_ I saw some dolt with "port 80"  Who would do this?
                     Tim Berners Lee perhaps? _/
                     But I believe he lives in
                     Geneva so its probably not
                     him. I've also seen "httpd"
                     as a license plate. Thought
                     that it was pretty lame.
                     I saw RFC1771 and figured
                     it was Tony Li's car.
                     I think that a plate that
                     said RFC1149 would be really
                     cool, provided you contributed
                     to it.
              Made me want to go get "port 70" now THAT would be L33T
                \_ I've got dibs on port 22!

3/12    So Redhat (rhat) is currently running about 6.  I bought at the end
        of the opening day near the all time high because I wanted to do my
        part to contribute to the movement.  Do you think it's ok if I sell
        now?  Also, was giving away shares to favored sons of the movement as
        a way to reward them for their revolutionary work a good incentive for
        budding counter-culturalists of the future to pay the rent with
        thoughts of giving away their work for free?
        \_ Why buy their stock if you like the company, instead of buying

        http://www.cnn.com/2001/TECH/internet/03/12/napster.02/index.html
        \_ Uh huh....
        \_ Okay, so it is illegal to systematically un-Pig-Latinify the file
           names.  But what excuse does Napster have to not simple
           Pig-Latinify the list of song names that it's supposed to block,
           and match the new list with the file names?  There's no law
           saying you can't compare encrypted info with encrypted info, right?
