11/22 Is MENSA really something special, or is it just overhyped?
\_ As I qualify to join, I'd have to guess overhyped :) -chialea |

12/22 I liked The Royal Tanenbaums (a movie) much more
than LOTR, and I read all the tolkien stuff. Am I insane?
\_You're asking for a psychological assessment from the motd? Yes,
you are insane.
\_ everyone's entitled to his/her own opinion. you're insane if you
think anybody really cares.
\_ grumpy!
\- hey are there some indian fellows in teh movie? i understand
some of my associates are in it. ok tnx --psb
\_ there's an indian guy who was also in Bottle Rocket
and Rushmore, this is not surprising since the same guy
wrote and directed all 3 movies.
\- oh i thought his dad was in it. is there an older fellow
in it too? ok tnx |

12/22 How do you make OpenSSH 2.5.2p2 works with Debian Linux 2.2 r4?
ssh into this machine kept on getting denied while everything works
fine with OpenSSH 1.2.3 (precompiled for Debian). Does that mean
Debian 2.2r4 doesn't support ssh2x? Thx in advance! - jthoms |

12/22 Has anyone using a FreeBSD box as a ppp client had trouble
with it crashing upon dial request? Any suggestions? -John
\_ which release?
\_ Wups, sorry. 4.1-R, pppd is version 2.3pl5. I'm running
it on a Thinkpad x20 and trying to get it to use the built-in
modem either for kernel or user ppp; either way, the moment
it tries to start using cuaa0 the system irrevocably freezes
with no messages in /var/log/*. I recall having trouble with
3.5-R on a Thinkpad 600E crashing the moment I attached anything
to com1, and wonder whether it's related. I think ppp.conf
and friends look okay. -John

\_ didnt IBM start using winmodems? --Jon
\_ yes, but they also wrote a Linux driver for them. -tom
\_ Ah, tom, ever so quick with the useless yet
egotistic answer of "Use Linux". --!psb
\_ When I can get a linux powered bike at compusa or
gateway (or dell for you dell fans -- I know you're
out there!) I'll ride that everyday. Until then, I
use what works, not what's cool or I encountered
first.
\_ I believe the Xircom & Lucent winmodems on Thinkpads
should actually work with FreeBSD. -John |

\_ How racist.
\_ The truth is not racist. It is just the truth. |

12/22 God, I hate Networksolutions *SO* much! DIE! DIE! DIE!
\_ why are you still using them? Practically everyone else
is cheaper and suck a lot less. Try gandi: http://www.gandi.net
I'm a lot happier there. - ajani
\_ Or even if you dont like dealing with a french company,
http://register.com or any tucows registrar. --jon
\_ Gandi is brilliant--you should rather judge a registrar
based on their TOS and conflict resolution policy. -John
\_ I've used http://register.com before, and have been less than
impressed by their domain management interface. For
example, changing DNS servers is a bitch, and very
counter intuitive. As John said above, Gandi also has
a very nice TOS and generally seems clued. - ajani
\_ I'm trying desperately to move my domains away from them but
they won't let me. I own the names from before there were any
choices. --desperately trying to get away from NS. |
