9/7 my boyfriend loves me, but he can't get it up. what should i do? he says it's not my fault -- i need sex, but love him and won't leave him. \_ it is your fault, you are not a hottie. \_ Ask him if wearing leather would help. Otherwise, buy him a strap-on \_ Maybe he's a girly man and wants to take it in the behind rather than give it out. Buy yourself the strapon and give him a good riding. You may need to get him some lingere also. \_ buy a vibrator. pearl rabbit makes you climax every time. \_ For some reason, I'm beginning to doubt the veracity of these motd counseling requests ... \_ You're only just now beginning to doubt them? \_ Maybe your boyfriend is not gay. He needs to be turned on by a woman, not a man. \_ Maybe your boyfriend needs to be turned on by a 450-pound ex-male wrestler victim of steroid hair growth halitosis experiments. -John \_ I'm a woman! \_ You'd like to think that, now, would you, girly-man. \_ Just in case this is a serious post, here is a serious answer: Stress can cause a lot of sexual problems. Try to get your boyfriend to relax before you initiate sex. For example, give him a back rub or take a nap together and then try having sex. Good luck. \_ Thank you. It _was_ a serious posting. I know I shouldn't post to the motd, but I'm trying to take every piece of advice I can get! I can't even really talk to him about it much, he doesn't like to talk much about it. He is a workaholic, and his stress has been higher lately. \_ Indeed. \_ He should see a urologist. It could be stress, testosterone levels, blood flow problems, etc. \_ Tell him you want to start seeing other people. \_ That is NOT going to reduce the guy's stress levels! \_ No, but she'll finally start getting some low stress sex for herself. He needs to go deal on his own time and stop being a wimp. |

4/3 What is advantage/disadvantage of various server-side scripting? JSP, M$ ASP, PHP? \_ Next page of replies summarized: Your mileage may vary. \_ visit link:www.codecharge.com for a nifty tool. Otherwise, PHP is my favorite since it has source, is designed from ground zero for web-pages, and is cross-platform. \_ JSP -> Its java, its slow but its pretty secure and reasonably well thought out. ASP -> Its M$. You are pretty much stuck to shitty x86 boxes running windows if you want ASP. Yes there is Sun's Chillsoft ASP for Linux but they you are stuck with shitty x86 boxes running Linux. In either case your box will be r00ted in a short time, so you will need to get lots of boxes and keep reimaging them frequently. PHP -> D00D PHP 15 S0 '1337. It is OSS and all that other GN00 non-sense and in addition it is a immature language saddled with horrible half broken libraries that have inconsistent volatile interfaces and "object models". Given the right circumstances (ask php to exec a ten line c program that fork's and execs) and it will lock up you machine. And don't even think about doing db interactions in php. If it were up to me, I'd say go with perl (modperl or fastcgi) or java servlets instead of these stupid scripting languages. If you are really interested in speed, security and flexbility write the damn thing in C. \_ PHP, JSP and perl all have better security features than C. \_ Name them. Name a single "feature" that cannot be implemented in C. \_ He can't. What he's really saying is his coding fu is weak and he needs a baby scripting language to coddle him through at the expense of speed and power. \_ I would not consider perl a "baby scripting language", but you are right on all other counts. \_ I'm a perl coder and I've seen them on TV. It's easier than C and slower thus I call it a baby scripting language. \_ Everything is possible in C, just not necessarily as easy. You get a *lot* of speed but give up everything else for it. and therefore already in memory so the context switch cost is going to be low relative to the speed gained for any non-trivial program and even many trivial ones. Try it yourself. You'll see. --done it before \_ uh... how can you get speed writing server-side stuff in C? \_ Why not? What's so magical about "server side" that makes C slow? Are you sure you know what "server side" means? \_ There is a direct correlation between the two. You can't spend 3 years building all the things in C that are free w/ MS or Java. So you just don't have those things. So your shit sucks because it is slow or lacks features. \_ Java and Perl code tends to run from within Web server/ app-server process space, ie down't spawn new processes. C CGI, on the other hand, will probably be forking a new process for every shitty little page, which is totally not worth it. Hence, C CGI tends to be a good deal slower than Perl/Java. -muchandr \_ Uh oh... someone is unaware that a C app will be cached and therefore already in memory so the context switch cost is going to be low relative to the speed gained for any non-trivial program and even many trivial ones. Try it yourself. You'll see. --done it before \_ C code can be run in the context of the web server if desired by writting a trivial module that uses shared memory to communicate with your real C deamons that do all the work. \_ Speed Java (/ASP?) >> Speed C when you think about all the tools for Java that are available to do things like load balancing, cxn mgmt, etc. \_ No. This is development time not code speed. \_ There is a direct correlation between the two. You can't spend 3 years building all the things in C that are free w/ MS or Java. So you just don't have those things. So your shit sucks because it is slow or lacks features. \_ a few clues: libraries, code borrowing, thanks for being with us today, Rice A Roni on your way out. And for some things 3 years to build something that will be fast when it's done is better than 6 months for something that will always be too slow. \_ and what happened to Kiva? NetDynamics? iPlanet? all that beautiful C++ code got thrown away in favor of the Java reference implementation. -gosha \_ C++?!?! Are you fucking insane? How dare you put C++ into the same sentence as C!?! WTF is wrong with you? Of course the C++ code got thrown away! Like, uhm, duh! Damn, has the whole motd gone 420? \_ C is slow.

He's a skilled programmer to boot. If you have a thorn-in-your-side coder/ developer/sysadmin you've been looking to replace, find a reason. \_ Sounds like a boat rocker. I wouldn't hire him. \_ On the same note, any 2002 grads find a job yet? Pay range? $60K? How about people go graduated 1-3 years ago but lost their job. Were you able to find another job? \_ I guess new CSUA'ers are unemployable these days. \_ Yes. Mid 70s. \_ Dice, monster, flipdog, hotjobs, etc. You'll waste a lot of time talking to recruiters and interviewing at bad places but it'll happen before you starve to death if you're not inflicted with the plague or smallpox. \_ I've done (and am doing) all these.

Thanks for all the freebsd tips. \_ It's the CSUA; if these other folks on the motd aren't your friend then who is? Your Everquest guild? We all know how *that* turned out! \_ I don't know.

4/4 Is there a way to make Apache case-insenstive (on Solaris)? (i.e., http://foo.com/cgi-bin/bar?param1=foobar should be the same as http://foo.com/Cgi-bIn/BaR?param1=foobar; obvisouly, I can write my cgi-bin's so that all the params are case-insenstive, but the leading URIs?) I have used google and have been on Apache's web site. Thx. [...] \_ Look, dummy, the answer is you can't do it. Your only other choice is hacking the url parse code in apache to lower case the entire URL. Good luck with your coding project. \_ Ok, thx. That's what I thought and I just needed someone to confirm it. \_ it's wrong. mod_speling does exactly what you want. Try it, nimrod. \_ why is "mod_speling" spelled with only one L? Is it supposed to be some dumb attempt at being humorous? \_ yes. laugh a little! \_ Wow this was tough to find. Took me about 15 seconds. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ-H.html#rewrite-nocase You're welcome. \_ errr...I have read that and the speling module. mod_speling only makes the document name referenced case-insenstive, not all the elements that construct the URI. all the elements that construct the URI. From Apache: "the module is unable to correct misspelled user names (as in <DEAD>my.host/~apahce<DEAD> just file names or directory names." \_ Grasshopper, the wind blows through the trees yet disturbs not the trunk, only the leaves.... \_ huh? \_ Grasshopper, the answer lies before your eyes are darkened by your own thoughts. \_ it corrects directory names, can't you read? \_ Run apache on windows. \_ Ew. |

4/3 My former landlord just bitched me out on the phone saying something about too much of my old mail going to her address. (My apartment was in her backyard.) Now I'm pissed off... Is there some easy way to flood her with loads of junk mail? \_ call the church of scientology and tell them you want to sign a "friend" up. just don't ever ever ever give them post office. http://www.usps.gov your address. they will send a mailing or so per week until she tells them to stop, then they up it to one per day. \_ You should be more responsible and forward your mail to your new address. For starters, file a change of address form with the post office. http://www.usps.gov Then you can file with the Direct Marketing Association (http://www.the-dma.org to stop most of your junk mail at your old address. \_ Don't file that form! The number one way to show up on junk mailers' lists is change-of-address forms. If you really want to reduce the volume, foregoe that form and take care of forwarding case-by-case. The DMA suggestion is good, but will only stop mail from member-junk mailers (=~ 75% from personal experience). For more info check out http://www.obviously.com/junkmail.html -- ulysses \_ I e-mailed the USPS last year to ask them to remove my address from any mailing lists they sell, but the reply said the USPS doesn't sell any mailing lists. So how do the new addresses on the change-of-address form go to the junk mailers? \_ Why don't you just ignore her? You obviously don't care about the mail. \_ I don't care about the old mail at all... but I think she is a total bitch and I think it would be funny and probably really piss her off if I could get a bunch more junk mail going to her house. I guess I'm a vengeful person. \_ get some credit card numbers from the trash at a gas station where the reciepts contain numbers(there are lots of these) and order from a payphone tons of stuff to her place. the credit card owner will not be charged when they see that 100 dildos have been sent to some random address, but she will be investigated for fraud. \_ I suggest prozac, meditation, maturity and letting it go. I don't see what you think you have to seek revenge for, anyway. Growing up would make your life happier. \_ Fill a paper bag full of dog poop, put it on her door step, light it on fire, then ring the doorbell and hide somewhere (where you can watch the fun). I did this once when I was in Junior High School and it was real funny. You are still in Junior High School, right? |
