Reading both is recommended, for greatest dramatic effect. -alexf \_ for best effects, open 2 netscape windows, and read them side by side using the power of vdiff. - paolo \_ How funny. In the original version they even explicitly mention that the offense (for lack of a better word) took place in Russia, and that since they could not prosecute there, it was justifiable to arrest Skylarov here for committing a US crime overseas. -John |

7/23 I'm fond of UHT Milk. Trader Joes in Emeryville used to carry it, but
no more. Any other places I should try? I've tried Andronicos and
Whole Foods. Any pointers on where to get pomegranate juice will also
be appreciated.

\_ make your own pomegranate juice, you don't even need a juicer
to do it
\_ have you thought about approaching the managers at any
of these places and asking? _sometimes_ they may decide
to stock. just an idea if youre really deperate.
\_ How is UHT (ultra-high temperature?) different from just
pasteurization?
\_ you don't have to refrigerate it. i guess it's like those little
half-and-half coffee servings at diners. just go there and steal
a bunch of those. |

7/23 Is a CS 199 research project required for graduation in L&S?
\_ for the standard CS degree, w/o honors, it is NOT required.
pretty much nothing is "required" anymore. You just need
enough EE, CS, or EECS units. - paolo
\_ Have those UPE losers finally abolished the CS150 requirement
too? -LSCS grad.
\_ i can say for a fact i indeed know a CS graduate who walked
with me who did not have to take 150. Unfortunately, I didn't
know they were going to drop the req, so i took it. - paolo
\_ unfortunately? I graduated without taking it and have
regretted it ever since.
\_ my opinion is that the class that semester was the
biggest waste of time i've had at cal. YMMV - paolo
\_ Err.. 150 kicked ass. Of course it totally depends
on what project you end up with (and therefore what
prof) --dbushong
\_ My 150 Sucked ass. Perhaps this had to do with the
lack of resources, and ta apathy to our broken
clock chip (oh and we had new boards that sem).
note that the prof's 61c ratings weren't very
good either. Like i said, YMMV as things can
change a lot in a few years. - paolo (who would
have rather taken aiken/hilfingr 164 than 150).
\_ 150 kicked ass! The semester I took it, we
even got to do something somewhat AI-related
(recognizing mouse pointers with a camera and
some hardware). -- ilyas
\_ I had Katz for 150 in Fa90. We got to build
a 4-bit computer with processor and memory
from breadboards, 74xx's and copper wires.
Although logic design isn't my most
favorite subject (mine is OS), that was the
best class I've ever had at Cal. BTW now I
regret I didn't take more classes before
graduation. -- yuen
\_ 150 may be painful, bit IMHO, every EECS student should take it. |

7/24 I was told that Broadvision AppServer cost $1 million a pop. That's
crazy. I'm considering buying MS IIS + SQL + ASP programming to do
the small b2b ecommerce site. It's the cheapest solution I've found
so far. I'm still open for a solaris solution though. Anything
equivalent in unix land that cost less than $1000?
\_ Apache + MySQL + PHP is equivalent to IIS+SQL+ASP, and it's
all free. -tom
\_ similarly; solaris-x86 +apache+mysql+php: still free.
\_ intershop not do what you want?
\_ I tend not to buy from companies whose stock is trading around
1 dollar. Where am I going to get the support if I buy? At
least if I use freeware I know that I'm getting what I paid for.
which is nothing!
\_ I agree with you about the freeware part, but Intershop
is a fairly decent product, and the stock price in this
case is completely irrelevant. -John
\_ Look into OpenACS... its a toolkit built on AOLserver +
PostgreSQL. AOLserver uses Tcl for scripting and, of course,
its all open source. - rory
\_ ok. BV is a little expensive. for your small site, they will
probably sell it to you for about $200k. if cheap is what you
want, then i second apache + mysql + php. -uctt
\_ the company is not a dotcom and they don't depend on their web
site for revenue generation. They need a web site for automation
and cost reduction. $200K is the annual salary of a good
designer. gimme a break! I think I will look into mySQL and
PHP. Thanks guys!

screen shots I've seen on the web look more like Windows.
screen shots I've seen on the web look more like
Windows.
\_ http://kde.themes.org, there used to be a cde theme.
\_ Look for TriTeal's XMotif/CDE package. Redhat used to
sell it as a add on to RedHat Linux up until v5.2 or
so. You can probably still get it running on newer
versions by using the 2.0 kernel/libc5 compat rpms.
---ranga
\_ TriTeal went out of business. http://www.xig.com is the
only company who sells CDE for Linux now. -alan-
\_ Why in god's name would you want a shitty interface
like cde? There are much better interfaces available
for *nix: twm, fvwm, afterstep, saw{mill,fish}, etc.
\_ Trade up from Linux to Solaris - it's still free and
includes CDE.
\_ In addition to CDE, you get *WORKING* NFSv3, PThreads,
SMP, MultiThreaded TCP/IP, RealTime Scheduling
Extensions and a stable kernel interface layer at
no additional charge! Who could pass up a deal like
that?
\_ I work with x86 daily. all i gotta say is:
"nfs server mamba not responding."
"nfs server pasteur not responding."
There's a reason why solx86 and staroffice are free. - paolo
There's a reason why solx86 and staroffice are

\_ paolo, that is because Instructional is constantly
underfunded and short on resources appropriate to
the demands placed on them by coursework. I believe
this was in the undergraduate presentation made to
the department at the faculty retreat recently. --Jon
\_ All I gotta say is: "Incompetant NFS/network
\_ Wow, you think the architecture makes NFS work poorly?
Impressive.
admins"
\_ Solaris/sparc is just as free as the solaris
for x86.
\_ Poster never said he was on x86. He could be
running sparc linsux for all we know.
\_ Its your own damn fault for using cheap x86
hardware for NFS. Get a real machine.
\_ Wow, you think the architecture makes NFS work
poorly? Impressive.
\_ no, but the components that go into a x86
system are usually sub-par creating all
sort of problems. (Cheap raid cards, cheap
nics, cheap drives, 33 MHz bus, etc).
In anycase people who depend on NFS should
be using a dedicated solution like netapp
instead of running on a cheap pc they slapped
together from cheap bits at frys.
\_ as opposed to Sun's low-end server, the
extremely high-quality Ultra 10? Please.
-tom
\_ The U10 is not a low end server. It is
a desktop machine. If you buy a U10 and
think that its a server that's your own
damn fault for being cheap. A "low-end"
server would be the discontinued U30 or
U60...
\_ gee, you'll have to mention that to Sun,
which sells the Ultra 10 as a server on
their web site. If you're going to pay
$10K for a box, you'll get a much better
PC box than Sun box--if you buy shitty
PC hardware, "that's your own damn fault."
-tom
\_ Due to lack of funds, our Solaris/x86 NFS
server is a cheap PC thrown together from
parts. We haven't had any problems with it
so far.
\_ Who is talking about cheap x86 hardware?
You can buy a decent x86 server with 66MHz PCI
slots if you need, hot swapable SCA drives, and
other components. It will be faster than and just
as reliable as an equivalent Sun (or whatever)
machine but cost you two times less or more.
Netapps are nice but the cost is an issue with
them. For a price of a netapp filer you can buy
a disk array from Sun with at least the same
storage capacity and a server to go with it.
\_ So does your x86 "server" support gigE
fiber and etherchannel? How about ATM?
\_ Yes. You haven't looked at current Dell, IBM
etc offerings, have you?
Let's not forget about a real journalling
fs and seamless ha fall over. What about
NEBS compliance? Lights out management?
People who depend on NFS require these
things. People like you who play with
toys in your dorm room don't and think
that cheap x86 stuff from fry's is just
as good.
With regards to Netapp vs. Sun. Netapp
is faster and more reliable than a
multipurpose server. The WAFL fs is
probably the most advanced journaling
fs ever written and these boxes even
commit metadata updates to nvram so
that a powerfailure won't corrupt the
fs. If I depended on NFS I'd buy netapp.
\_ export list limit of 800.
can we say CIFS/Unix perm conflicts?
mountd dying periodically
I can go on. Netapp's are amazing
and I like things like wafl, snapshots,
the dual platform support, but they are
far from perfect. be realistic. --Jon |

\_ There was a hole in openssh a month ago. Get a clue. -tom
\_ But the whole was not in the *default* config, this
is a hole in the standard config.
\_ My read of this "hole" is that it takes a password of two or
fewer characters to open it up. Somehow, that doesn't have me
quaking in my boots. Still, thanks for pointing it out. --PeterM

the password in /etc/shadow. |

7/24 what's a good cd-rw drive for a laptop?
\_ Internal or External?
\_ external
\_ SCSI, USB, FireWire or Parallel?
\_ USB and Parallel CDRW are slow and often don't work reliably.
The SCSI drives are often pretty expensive, bulky but they
work very well.
\_ Make sure you get a SCSI PC Card supported by your OS.
Alternatively, if you have a swap-out CD-ROM drive,
your laptop manufacturer might have a CD-RW drive
module.
\_ Adaptec 1460 or 1480 are pretty much the only
reliable PCMCIA/Cardbus scsi cards currently
available. They are supported under every major
desktop os (win,lin,mac).
\_ get a PCMCIA firework card and firewire CD-RW drive (or
\_ get a PCMCIA firewire card and firewire CD-RW drive (or
in, though that can get a bulky)
get a firewire enclosure and put whatever drive you want
in, though that can get bulky)
\_ I would recommend just buying a QUE FW CDRW from
Fry's rather than building one yourself. A 8x8x32
external can be had for $169 (just the FW case will
set you back $125 - $150) |
