4/16 do you consider JabberJaw Gay?
\_ I think asking about JabberJaw is gay.
\_ What the heck IS JabberJaw?
\_ Google, "JabberJaw", "I'm feeling lucky"
\_ Hey, it's don't-ask-don't-tell around here...
\_ I dunno... I thought it was just bi-curious.
\_ All 16 'episodes' of it from 1976?
\_ he was imitating Curly from 3 stooges, the cartoon shark right?
\_ So you think Curly was gay, is that it?
\_ Curly's boyfriend dismissed all rumors that Curly was gay. |

4/16 http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20020416/wl_nm/germany_church_dc_1&printer=1 I think he was possessed during the exorcism. \_ "During this long process there was close physical proximity. But contact was not sexual in a narrow sense." \_ Since when did Clinton become a man of the cloth? - just how narrow is this "narrow sense" they're speaking of? \_ "No pregnancy resulted, so it doesn't count." \_ Does that mean I'm still a virgin by their standards and I f*ck a virgin every night? Sweet! \_ Why are you embarassed by your words but not your thoughts? |

4/16 What's the best way for my Perl program to get the TAI-UTC difference?
That being the total number of leap seconds.
\_ What's TAI? You can get your UTC offset with:
use POSIX 'strftime';
$off = strftime('%z',localtime);
which will give you a string like '-0700'
Don't know of an easier way... --dbushong
\_ Thanks, but that's not what I'm looking for.
TAI : Temps Atomique International. (International Atomic Time)
It's currently 32 seconds ahead of UTC. It counts continuous
seconds. Leap seconds are added to UTC to keep UTC
synchronized with earth's rotation. It's explained
under "Leap Seconds" at http://hpiers.obspm.fr/eop-pc
\_ $TIA = $UTA + 32; ;-) |

4/16 Did that biweekly trader's cheap broker question have any useful
answers? I gotta switch out of TD Waterhouse before they start
charging me for not bending over often enough.
\_ I think the clear consensus was to use fortnightly instead
of biweekly. It sounds more sophisticated, anyhow.
\_ There's a clear difference between sounding sophisticated and
sounding like you just got yourself a word-a-day toilet paper.
\_ FYI, E*TRADE now charges $15 per quarter for not enough trading.
\_ It's $25 and only if you have less that $5k in account.
\_ That's why I'm trying to get away from TDWaterhouse. They're
doing the similar thing, except they charge more. Anyone know
if Datek does that?
\_ Yes, it does. It might have started it all.
\_ Damn, and Thanks. So anyone know of a cheap place that
doesn't charge you for not trading enough? I only buy
once a month or so.
\_ as long as you maintain $10K asset, TD Waterhouse won't charge
you.
\_ Okay, can you spare me $8K? I'm only starting out. |

4/17 Is it possible for a politician or journalist to say that he/she is
against foreign aid to Israel without being called a Nazi? That
money is starting to seem like an entitlement, like welfare or
social security.
\_ no one seems to have mentioned the USS Liberty yet, so
i'll just mention it now. consider it mentioned.
\_ not possible. We have too many rich politicians who are jews,
hail to democracy.
\_ yeah fuck those jews for participating!
\_ Is that a question?
\_ Honestly, now I can understand what were all these anti-Jewish
sentimentalism were all about before WW2. Jewish is an invisible
minorities in the society that dictates our nation's foreign
policy. Because of them, US is the only Israel's ally in this
conflict, totally disregards UN resolutions and other international
law.
US can EASILY control Israel's behavior by just stop the flow
of our AIDs, or even call upon temporary economic sanction until
Israel pull out of Westbanks (both troops and settlement). But
instead, we just demand cease fire. Every cease fire in the past
only yields more and more of settlement, and you blame Palestinian
for not giving up their only card on their hand?
We have been unconditionally support of Israel since 1948.
This put US in a very bad position in terms of being a mediator
aid.
I honstly think that Powell's trip was just a show to American
people that Bush is trying to do something.
\_ Yes! The Zionist Conspiracy folks have arrived! Sweet! *Now*
you have seen the real Nazis hit the motd. Glad you could show.
\_ Tell us about ZOG and what you learned from reading Meinkampf.
\_ Not if you are Pat Buchanan. We give more to Egypt BTW.
\_ Not true. Military + econ = 3B/yr
Aid to Egypt is only 2B/yr.
\_ Even the new east span of the
Bay Bridge costs more than that.
And that's not even a whole
bridge.
\- who dont you compute the
per capita aid to israel.
[meaning per israeli person]
\_ Assuming Israel has 4
million people, it would be
$750 per year per person.
For US, it would be $10 per
year per person. Not much,
but that's just the official
aid. I read that US gives
isn't a special case. We're supporting the world.
a lot of weapons to Israel
for free, not to mention
technological transfers, etc.
3 billion per year is equal
to 8.2 million per day.
That's just like 40 nice
little houses every day.
\_ Tech: actually they take
our planes, improve them
and tell us how to do it.
\_ Nah, that's more true
of armor than
aircraft.
\_ F15. Look it up.
\_ Yes, they do that a
little, but mostly
it goes the other
way.
\_ How much tech or
other quality
work do we get from
the arabs? How
about intelligence?
Obviously not
getting enough int.
help. 9/11.
\_
Arabs have oil, and that's
what we need. Our aid to
Israel is supposed to help
them defend themselves and
help us maintain a military
presense in the oil-rich
region. Our aid is not for
the Israelites to behave
like assholes and bullies.
\_ You suggest we send ovens
instead of weapons? Wake
up. No matter what the
Israelis do, the Arabs want
them dead. 1948, 1967, 1973,
etc. Once the oil runs out
or we switch to something
else, the arabs are going
back to sand and camels
while Israel will continue
on as a first world
democracy. While you're
reading up on 48,67,73, you
should look up how many
Arabs killed other Arabs in
the last 50+ years and also
see what Jordan did to them
up to 67. Ignorance is
bliss, eh?
\_ No, I suggest we stop
aid to Israel to show
them who's the boss.
Israel won't fall to
Arabs anytime soon. In
fact it can kick their
ass easily. In fact,
it can even kick our ass
for a while (see above
about F-15). I think
they should listen to
us instead of being
bullies and assholes.
\- as far as i know aid to israel
has always exceeded aid to egypt
after camp david and assume before
as well. i believe aid to both was
reduced not long ago, so it is
possible the philippines gets more
aid but they certainly have more
reason to feel the US "owes" them.
\_ Unless that jewish student who protested at Sproul on the
Palestinan side against Isarel becomes a politician. I saw him on
TV.
\_ *GREAT* troll! You of course completely dismiss the money we give
to Egypt and the fact that they both get money going back to the
Camp David accords in the late 70's which brought official peace
between the two countries. You earn a cookie and *2* points!
\_ There, you have your answer. You might be called a "troll"
instead of a "Nazi," but obviously Isreal is entitled to
US foreign aid (which they have been getting for a lot
longer than since Camp David).
\_ They're entitled to it by treaty. It is in the interests
of the US to assist any Western nation as well and thus we
give various forms of aid going back to before our entry in
WWII to Europe, post-WWII Japan, SKorea, and others. Israel
isn't a special case. We're supporting the world. The amount
going to Israel is peanuts.
\- per capita aid to israel stands way way way out.
the fact that americans spend more on frozen pizza and
lipstick is another matter. --psb
\_ Per capita isn't meaningful because this isn't about
buying Israeli citizens pizza and lipstick. It's about
tanks and jets. No matter how many people you have you
still need a certain amount of hardware to defend a
certain land area when your enemies surround you, have
sworn to kill all of you, and out number you a few
hundred million to 6 million. Anyway, all this math
is hard. Let's go shopping!
\_ The US has spent over $20,000 per Isreali citizen
with nothing but headache to show for it. What is
this, the Eighth Crusade? Why does what it got
spent on matter?
\_ You're right. It would be cheaper to buy ovens
and ship them to their neighbors. Good idea.
\- wouldnt it be cheaper to save somalis?
\_ well, considering that a 9mm bullet only
costs a few tenths of a cent to mass
produce, then yes. It's far cheaper to
save somalis.
\_ Save Somalis from what? Themselves? What
for?
\_ Hmm, 4 out of 5 head scientists who gave us nukes were Jewish,
maybe we are just repaying them . . . ya think?
But seriously, we are supporting the only Jewish state (yes, only
one, can you count how many muslim and christian states there are)
and a western democracy at that. PS: Did you know that the first
Intel plant able to make the Pentium IV was in Israel? It seems
they were the only one who could print such a detailed chip.
Furthermore, have you noticed how many times the enemies of Israel
have lied in their estimates? I say shame on us for believing such
crap and shame on CNN/NYT for only getting one source in many
cases. PPS: Shame on France, what is this, the return of the
Vichy government? They are only looking to support their weapons
sales and their need for oil (we actually can support ourself in
that regard) . . . Oh and do read up on who started attacking who,
and also why all the Palestinians voluntarily left their homes,
they were never kicked out! Meanwhile plenty of jews were kicked
out of Iran, Iraq, Eqypt, and so forth (not to mention Poland,
Germany, Spain, Italy, etc). If you prick us, do we not bleed?
\_ http://www.globalexchange.org/campaigns/palestine/refugeeFacts.html
http://www.un.org/Depts/dpa/qpalnew/glossarycollapsible.htm
\_ yes, I can find one-sided accounts as well, but many
Palestinians fled their homes so that the arab countries could
fulfill their promise of pushing israel into the sea and
returning palestine to them. The Palestinians have been
treated like shit by Jordan and Syria as well, why don't any
UN resolutions talk about that? Hmmm, I wonder, is it because
France, Russia, China (all have treated [or help others treat]
jews like scum) sit on the security council. Also what about
the right for jews to return to their homes. FUCK, I WANT MY
LAND BACK IN BARCELONA!! My family chose to flee during the
inquisition instead of the convert or die options they gave us.
Also, are you ready to give your home back to that Mexican
family our government kicked out so many years ago--I didn't
think so!
\_ I see. So since it happened to the Jews, it's ok for Jews to
do it to Palestinians? Well at least you admit it.
\_ Thanks for putting words in my mouth. Here is a great
treatment of the refugee problem (though he throws "in my
opinion" around to much. Ultimately (if you are lazy) he
attributes the problem to both sides:
http://www.ajds.org.au/mendes.htm
Another thought, Israel is 20% Arab and they have Arab
leaders in the Knesset, some of which have called votes
to end the existance of Israel . . . now that's democracy.
If Israel was really trying to "cleanse" themselves of
Arabs, why is 1/5th of their population arab? |

4/16 OpenBSD 3.1 is available for preorder:
http://www.openbsd.org/31.html
\_ I'm a linux person who'd like to try out BSD. What are the main
differences between FreeBSD and OpenBSD?
\_ OpenBSD: they put more effort into security and code auditing.
Most of these fixes will make it into the other *BSD's but not
first. FreeBSD: SMP, larger number of packages and a bit
friendlier to admin. Summary: OpenBSD for NAT/firewall, etc and
FreeBSD for servers and workstations. NetBSD for whacky hardware
that doesn't run a real unix. The rest is politics.
\_ Thank you! Finally, an useful answer on the motd...
\_ No problem. Also, my answers are x86 specific. Unlike
some of the others who reply below I have not tried out
the *BSD's on non-x86 hardware. I don't have a PPC or 68k
and I run solaris on my sun boxes.
\_ freebsd is NOT for the workstation. rdesktop doesn't run
vmware doesn't run, their jdk works occasionally.
ask ilyas about ports probs; ask the vaunted csua root
about why scotch is forced to run uniproc. (it's a dual
machine) freebsd claims to
work, but I can write "I fucked yer mom" on a webpage,
regardless of the real truth.
\_ Also OpenBSD is much easier to install than FreeBSD
and runs on a wider range of hardware.
\_ well whatever, only insane geeks own hardware
that freebsd or linux doesn't run on. woo
i can run openbsd on my refrigerator.
\_ FreeBSD doesn't run on Sparc, UltraSparc,
M68K or PowerPC. Contrary to your assertion
many mainstream people have M68K and PowerPC
systems. Sparc and UltraSparc may be rarer,
but not by much for the motd crowd.
While Linux *claims* to run on these platforms,
its performance, compatibility and stability
are quite poor. OpenBSD runs well on Sparc,
M68K and PowerPC. UltraSparc is a little behind,
but for a port started less a year ago it is
very good.
\_ linux runs well on an ultra1. -- writing this from
an ultra1. (p.s. linux doesn't support sparc32
which is why i run openbsd on my sparc32 machines)
\_ put on your asbestos underwear.
\_ I never take 'em off. However, there doesn't seem to be
much flame. Shame, really, because I'm freezing right now...

\_ Okay, fine. Add NetBSD as well.
\_ I hate your pathetic boring life, geek.
\_ Yeah, I'm bored of my life as well, but yermom only
want to do it doggy style.
\_ oh man i'm going to cry now from your rapier wit.
\_ Who's Theo?
\_ Where did Theo come from?
\_ The URL above. The products say:
"Because Theo Is An Asshole"
\_ Well he is an asshole but makes a good unix.
\_ Who is Theo?
\_ notorious ass who started and is main
maintainer of OpenBSD.
\_ He's an asshole but makes a good unix.
\_ No, making good unix requires
working well with others.
\_ Thus, Theo = asshole implies
OpenBSD != good unix. Would you
care to try again?
\_ He works well with others,
provided that they are not
complete morons. The netbsd

(hint: those immigrants prepare for the SAT as early as kindergarten) \_ I prepared for the SAT for exactly 1 evening. \_ I prepared for the SAT for exactly 1 evening, but then I was a foreign student, not an immigrant. My immigrant cousins prepared quite a bit - The older one is very bright but doesn't like to study. She got 1400s, went to Irvine, but dropped out after a year for getting a bunch of bad grades. She is now at a community college. She could still achieve great things if she puts her mind to it. Her brother got a 1100 on first-try and 1000 on second-try, but he is a very good kid, has lots of friends, and plays a mean game of basketball. So much for the stereotypes. \_ Prepared? I just went and took it... \_ If you feel your ass is getting kicked, you have no one to blame but yourself. \_ You can't "prepare" for the SAT in kindergaten. Don't be lame. \_ Sure you can, it's called paying attention and learning to think. Ideally it should continue until you die \_ The SAT and HS are so damn easy its not even funny, its just like the Farm, you get decent grades for showing up, turning your hw and taking all the tests. \_ SAT actually is to the advantage of smart but lazy people. \_ Yes! Let's hear it for the smart and lazy people! Too bad that once you get into Cal its all about hard work and near zero to do with smart. Sigh.... \_ Amazing.. almost like the real world.. Only there, it's exactly zero to do with smart. \_ What do you do, software sales? Where I work, how fast you learn things (i.e. how smart you are) is pretty important. \_ Immigrants and foreign students from non-English-speaking countries have a disadvantage on the Verbal Test. |
