6/3 Is the phrase "in action" (e.g. "seeing my product in action")
formal, or is it too colloquial?
\- probably not good to use in something formal.
\_ very informal.
\- probably not good to use in something formal. unless it is a
program on how to learn french while lingering on womens'
breasts. --psb
\_ Now you know why you have fans. --psb #1 Fan
\_ "Women" is plural, so it would be "women's", right?
\_ I have never heard of that phrase, unless of course by product, you
mean my dick. |

And http://LearningAnnex.com is not legitimate somehow?

6/3 Network Newbie here. I am now collecting data on my T1 lines and also
my LAN traffic. A couple lines are sustaining 300kbps even at 5AM...
I'm suspecting that this is streaming audio or some rogue host
downloading several gigs of data. Actually, usage goes UP from 10PM-3AM
Is there any way (on a Cisco box) to split up traffic monitoring
by TCP/UDP port?
\_ generically the answer is to stick a hub in there and sniff packets.
\_ turn ip accounting, that'd be one way. -ERic
\_ Thanks.
\_ and you can also look at matches on an access list, but that would
only get traffic measured in #packets, not bandwidth..
\- tcpdump + some contrib ware maybe. http://tcpdump.org.
\_ don't forget to beat the crap out of whichever idiot is doing it
once you find them. keep the user base cowed. |

6/3 Is it my imagination or has the World Cup pool shrunk? What happened
to Iran and Colombia, for starters? -- ulysses
\_ Ireland beat Iran to gain entry in the finals. You have to
understand that what is going on now is the World Cup finals.
There have been something like a thousand games that lead up to
the games going on now with the 32 finalists.
\_ Thanks. The folks here have bestowed upon me a little clue
as well.
\_ Ya, we're at such a loss that Iran is not in the world cup. Here
come the Ali et al. "Iran is a major soccer playing country"
responses...
\_ I don't know Iran's overall record but I do know about one team
they beat... -- !ali
\_ Yes, in '98 they beat the team that finished dead last.
Woo woo!
\_ That's not the point. So, would a lack of the
US in the world cup also create such a "loss"
in you?
\_ Which team?
\_ Iran beat the Great Satan in 98. - danh
\_ Ah, you mean the US.
http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/en/011130/2/3dn.html
BTW it's amazing that US once won over England. I
thought soccer started to get popular here only in the
past decade.
\_ At what? What's this World Cup thing? Yachting?
\_ it's that thing where every 4 years, people from
all over the world go to your mom and bang her.
hence "world". the term Cup refers to the athletic
supporters needed after your mom drains the last bits
of jism from the contestants. |

6/3 anyone had problems with a Redhat 7.3 NFS client and a Solaris 8 NFS
server with the Client flooding Server with packets?
\- dunno if this is related but see ~psb/linux-nfs-problem.
i would try tcpdumping to see what is going on. this is a
little tricky unless you have something nfs protocol aware. --psb
\_ Luckily linux is only the client here. I'll try this tcpdump
\_ snoop is NFS protocol aware. Unfortunately, it runs only on
Solaris.
\_ tcpdump on redhat 7.3 is also somewhat NFS-aware.
\_ Just saw plenty of reports like this one on http://bugzilla.redhat.com,
check it out. -akopps
\_ Thanks! I think that's it. The same symptoms/behavior. It's
been a painful week. (our snoops showed them as UDP packets)
\_ As a fellow linux victim I can say linux sucks. If this is a server
environment and you don't specifically *need* Linux, then use *BSD
or something else which wasn't written by a million monkeys. |

6/3 anyone know where to get a CD of old radio shows - like The Saint
Sgt. Preston, Dragnet, George && Gracie, that show where you hear a
gunshot and the narrator says, "That was the shot that killed <forgor
name>'s life, How do i know? because I'm ... <forgot name>"
\_ The last show you mentioned is "The Lives of Harry Lime,"
a radio follow-up to the movie "The Third Man" --- do a
Google search for CDs or MP3s. |

\_ Nah, doesn't sound like chialea. Doesn't talk about herself nearly
enough, and is too concise and factual.

variation of "bah!" |

6/3 Is anyone driving to Monterey next Monday? I need a ride to Usenix
conference. -akopps
\_ ajani is going, not driving AFAIK, and also looking for a ride
\_ obBuyACar.
\_ How about Greyhound?
\_ Where's the "RIDE BIKE" people?
\_ I already offered to pay him 36 cents a mile to ride bike. -tom
\_ will that even cover his food? it sure as hell won't cover
the value of his time.
\_ Time spent riding a bike down the coast to Monterey
is inherently well-used. -tom
\_ That's a personal opinion. That may work fine for your
life but other people aren't living your life. I'll
bet greyhound and public transport could get him there
and back for under $99 for everything. Probably less.
Not everyone has decided to effectively retire to a
government job in their 20s.
\_ I'm sure your personal opinion is sitting around
a conference room with a bunch of pathetic geeks
splitting hairs over the merits of the various
Linux distributions is much more interesting than
having the life-affirming experience of a bike tour
on one of the best bike touring routes in the world.
Have fun, loser. -tom
\_ I actually laughed out loud when I read this.
Why do you get so personally offended when you
see someone else choosing a path through life
different than that you chose for yourself?
You know _nothing_ about my or most anyone else's
personal opinion about what is more interesting
or "life-affirming" and then toss in a grade
school level personal attack at the end. Give
yourself some twinks points and get over it. You
might be sure of lots of things but your personal
certainty doesn't make you right in any way.
Have fun, tom. -toms #1 loser
\_ Look, if you're going to attack someone
personally in the motd, you can't be upset
when they respond in kind. -!tom
\_ Who attacked him personally? If he took
that as a personal attack valium is the
solution. He never said he took it as a
personal attack. Have Berkeley students
become so sensitive that *any* disagreement
is seen as personal? God save Cal. While
I'm here, who said *I* took it personally
when he called me a loser. I *laughed*.
Sheesh. Spread the valium at the next
meeting. |

6/3 If you "cat" a long file, then you minimize the window during that
\- iconify > minimize
time, what happens to stdout/the output while the window is minimized?
\_ If you're on a remote system, it's sent over the wire, where
it's ignored by your window manager. If you're on a local
system, you can reduce the amount of time it takes your prompt
to return by writing the output to a file because the video
card is no longer bottlenecking the execution of the job.
\_ "ignored by your window manager" also means you'll get to the
end of the file faster for the same video display update reason
if your video card *really* sucks. A modern video card won't be
a bottle neck in either case. |

6/3 hey old people, what's the name of the tune
in "The Bard's Tale" when you had your bard
play a tune? Maybe there were six different types of bard

\_ Is wizardry 7 old enough? It works great on new machines.

Does Mahalito still exist?

Make 6 new characters of any class, race, etc...

Go to temple in Skara Brae, Tarjan, teleport spell to lower
