        \_ And the world's richest man and the world's biggest corp. are still
           not donating anything.  Let's start a publicity campaign to
           condemn that.
           \_ wrong, MS donated 5 mil in cash and 5 mil in software
              \_ wow. that's equivalent to 100,000 windows XP sales. go billy.
                \_ you know, 5 million is 5 million.  how much have you
                   donanted?
                 \_ They donated copies of Office for the Red Cross.
                    \_ I'm surprised they didn't sic the BSA on the Red Cross.
                   \_ actually I wasn't being sarcastic. FYI,  I donated $2.10.
           not donating anything.

9/13    How long do ELTs (emergency locator transmitor) on the black boxes
        transmit? Is there a possibility that we'll never find the black box?

9/13    To our friends in the politburo: we respect and support our first
        amendment rights, and we believe the motd should be an open forum.
        Since we unabashedly support free speech, the tone of the motd over
        the past day has come as a painful reminder that with power
        comes responsibility. Since we understand that discussions on the
        motd may become heated, we ask that you show the level of maturity and
        respect that we have come to expect of the students and alumni of the
        finest educational institution in the world. Fiat lux.  --CSUA
        \_ oh get over yourself.  This isn't a first amendment right issue.
           Are you a fucking moron?  Noone took your right to free speach
        \_ oh get over yourself.  This isn't a first amandment right issue.
           Are you a fucking maron?  Noone took your right to free speach
           Are you a fucking moran?  Noone took your right to free speach
           away.  Noone took away your right of free assembaly.  All they did
           was take down a public message board THEY WERE PROVIDING IN THE
           was take down a pubalic message board THEY WERE PROVIDING IN THE
           FIRST PLACE.  If you don't like it start your own forum. -aspo
           \_ I am grateful to the Politburo,
              He who provides me anonymous opine;
              I hope He never raises his keyboard again in anger,
              I hope He never raises His keyboard again in anger,
              For I am a Sinner, and I have Sinned,
              Thank you Politburo!
        \_ I missed it.  What particular points on the motd during the last
                few days were offensive enough?
           \_ that question presupposes that there actually was a valid reason.

9/13    When the motd returns, we hope that you will reopen this dialogue,
        albeit in a more enlightened and respectful manner.
