7/9 is 192.168.0.1 a special IP address?
\_ yes.
\_ it's a reserved net like 10.0.0.x/24. i'm guessing 192.168.0.1 is
someone's default router on their 192.168.0.0/24 net
\_ it's a class B network address' local network.
\_ 192.168.x.x are reserved, see RFC 1918. This range of address is
used in zeroconf networking. See http://www.zeroconf.org or
http://www.iitk.ac.in/techkriti/eureka/netguru/netguru.htm for more
information. --twohey
\_ the 192.168/16 private address block is not used for zeroconf,
which uses 169.254/16 for its link-local addresses. -- jwang
\_ you are correct. i shouldn't have posted while sleep
deprived --twohey
\_ Nah, keep doing it. Makes the motd more interesting.
\_ A lot of people use 192.168.0.x addresses for router addresses
and other general network related stuff (administrative IPs of
PVC interfaces, that sort of thing.) Some older equipment has
trouble dealing with addresses with all '0's in part of the
network or subnet bits, though. -John |

7/9 ETA on finding out what the new IP will be?
\_ why are they changing soda's address again?
\_ because we're moving to linux.
\_ cute.
\_ first EECS got rid of shared 10mbit ethernet networks and
consolidated those into 100mbit switched networks. Now,
EECS will be moving to a new network topology in conjunction
with new network equipment. --jon
\_ Do you know what vendor they're using? Cisco? Foundry?
Extreme?
\_ Any benefits or just people keeping their jobs?
\_ they are moving soda to be closer to carnivore -shac
\_ yeah like root isn't already running a broken sshd for
them right now. the bastards. |

"She says more than 30 studies have suggested a halving of the risk of
HIV transmission if the male sexual partner is circumcised. Gayle is
calling for further studies to investigate whether there is a clear
cause and effect between the procedure and the risk reduction."
\_ how about a much simplier solution: have your partner tested!!
\_ What? And pretend I'm not in love!!?? |

7/10 more on gene:
http://csua.org/u/72
\_ he shouldn've went to grad school
\_ Is this a contracted contraction of "shouldn't have"?
\_ the story was on the front page of Yahoo...
\_ I still think the RIAA did it
\_ "it" being yermom?
\_ Drove him to it or had him sniped?
\_ Ugly stuff, depression. I'm sorry he didn't think he could get
help from a professional before he died.
\_ Actually, he did get help from a professional. The Wired story
alluded to his getting on Prozac. You can't get a scrip for
Prozac (for depression-- it is prescribed for other things)
without seeing a professional. Mental health professionals are
of varying quality, and though they can do good, they can also
do tremendous harm. This is especially true when medication is
involved because we don't really fully understand how Prozac and
the other modern anti-depressants work. One of the problems
with anti-depressants is that they can give someone who would
otherwise lie in bed all day just enough get up and go to attempt
suicide. - seen it happen
\_ And also, the kneejerk prescription of Prozac or Wellbutrin
and the insistence of excessively long stretches (2-3 months
feels terrible don't help either. There are some psychiatrists
out there who need to be smacked.
instead of say 6 weeks) to "test it out" even if the person
feels terrible don't help either. There are some
psychiatrists out there who need to be smacked.
\_ Although I agree with you that Prozac and Zyban are
over-prescribed, I'd disagree that 2-3 months is an
unreasonable time frame to test the medications out. It
takes most individuals approximately 1 month to acclimate
to SSRIs. Effects vary wildly in that first month, and
two weeks really is much too brief a time frame to
evaluate whether the medication is having a net positive
effect. One problem that is quite common is that SSRIs
are incredibly dose sensitive and vary widely in effect
between different people's brain chemistry. As a result,
many psychiatrists play a dangerous game with each
patient when trying to evaluate what works best for that
particular individual. I have friends who are now quite
stable and happy largely due to meds, but, for many of
them, the period where they were trying to figure out
which medication and what dosage was one of their most
trying periods.
\_ Indeed. Note I said 6 weeks (not 2). I have a close
friend who had a seizure on wellbutrin (I know it was
a seizure. I was there.) And her doctor REFUSED to
believe that she had one. She very quickly found a
new doctor who tried a couple other meds and found
to treat patients with respect. If you feel like there's
an aspiring deity posing as a doctor, get a second
opinion.
\_ I can't belive all this bullshit on prescription drugs! You guys
actually buy this bullshit? You want to get out of depression?
Try cooking your own food from fresh ingredients every day instead
of eating restaurant crap or processed crap. Cut back on meat
intake and exercise at least 30 minutes a day. for thousands of
years human being thrived without allergy medications or anti
depressants. What makes you people so special that you need
these chemicals that just control the symptons?
\_ hello Tawei. What about high quality vitamin C?
\_ stfu
that Zoloft worked wonderfully. All I wanted to say
was that there are many doctors out there who feel like
playing god, and there are many doctors who know how
to treat patients with respect. If you feel like
there's an aspiring deity posing as a doctor, get a
second opinion. |

7/10 I forgot to mention it yesterday, but Rod Steiger is THE most
connected actor in Hollywood history, in terms of the Kevin
Bacon Game. That is to say, if you play the Rod Steiger game
instead, the average path length is shorter than for any other game,
like the Groucho Marx game or the Adam Sandler game. - cody
\_ is that like an erdos number?
\_ "was", not "is". He's dead, Jim.
\_ Ted Williams is still the last person to hit .400, even though
Ted Williams no longer "is." -tom
\_ Well, he also 'was' the last person to do so. Om. -John
\_ Well, it all depends on what the meaning of "is" is.
\_ *laugh* And we have a winner!
\_ Ted Williams is at 77K.
\_ But, but...you wouldn't say "g. washington IS the first pres",
you'd say "g. washington was the first US pres." right?
\_ maybe.. the fact of this presidency being first does not
change with time so perhaps "is" is acceptable?
\_ no, we always refer to dead people in past tense even if
their accomplishments are current such as first pres. or
fastest runner or most records sold, whatever, etc. it is
the living/dead status of the person that is being
tensed, not their accomplishment.
\_ It depends on the sentence and the context. -tom
\_ no, it doesn't. you may have heard that english
grammar has a lack of rules. this is false.
the rules are specified by a secret, anonymous
body of CSUA members who let the rules be known
by motd posts. these rules may never be broken.
\_ We are the MOTD Grammarian Star Chamber Police.
We took English in HS and remember most of it,
so we aren't taking any crap about "it depends"
from those who don't remember and want to make
it all up. --MGSCP
\_ well, MGSCP, surely you'll understand that
the sentence "Ted Williams *was* the last
player to hit .400" is ambiguous. It
implies that someone else has hit .400
since then and is now the
record-holder. Babe Ruth *was* the
single-season record-holder for home runs.
Babe Ruth *is* the single-season
record-holder for walks. -tom
\_ We'll drop by with black masks later to
explain the difference to you. --MGSCP
\_ Three demerits!! Tom is the founding
member of the MGSCP.
\_ Speaking of demerits, anybody
remember that old arcade game
where you drive around and get
penalized demerits? I can't
remember anything else about it
because it was like 15-20 years
ago and I'm getting old and slow. |

7/10 Buying an LCD monitor but wants to know more about them. Where's a
site to learn about TFT, active matrix, lumen, contrast, etc? Thanks
\_ http://tomshardware.com just came out with comparison reviews of 17" LCDs.
Search their archives for reviews of 15" LCDs.
\_ Is it no longer permissible to refer to one's self with the pronoun
and be verb combination "I am" at the beginning of a sentence? Also,
I wonder if the rules for singular and plural references have
changed as well. obE190.
\_ They are redundant, and hence not permissible. !poster
\_ They're for clarity. Who says OP was buying for themself?
\_ Which rule for singular or plural does "themself" come
from?
\_ None. There is no such word.
\_ So how did you know it's for "one's self"?
\_ what's "ob", as in obE190?
\_ obligatorily stupid
\_ obstetrics
\_ dict ob
\_ clearly this must be a reference to the russian river...
