9/3 http://www.swissinfo.org/sen/Swissinfo.html?siteSect=143&sid=1309807 This is just what the world needs. Global taxes on rich countries to alleviate world wide poverty. France says it'll only take $100b/year forever to do it. I can't wait to be a Citizen of the World and I'll even get my own Universal Identicode & Tracking Unit implanted in my brain. Sweet! \_ How about foreign aid to israel? How much of your hard earn tax dollars goes towards people who study religious texts all day and have children all nights and do not work for a living? The US sponsors judaism?! I want money for my christian schools here in the US! \_ $2b/year to Israel. $2b/year to Egypt. Not very much. There's more government waste than that by far. Thanks for trolling. \_ Just last week I read that there is a 3-2 ratio between aid to Israel and Egypt. \_ Some perspective on this: it costs us $1b/day to send an army to another country such as Iraq'91. Per day, yes. If we weren't bribing both countries to be nice to each other what are the odds we'd have spent more than that on more than one occasion to keep one from destroying the other? What's the cost of cleaning up Cairo after a nuke? What's the cost of sending in enough troops to keep the Egyptians and others from genociding the Israelis? Thanks. \_ Oh great. 'Cause welfare works so well, we want to expand it to a global scale. Doesn't anyone even pay attention to history? \_ the US welfare system sucked, for example paying kids to have even more kids; however, what's wrong with trying to eliminate poverty? Use the money for job training, loans so that ppl can start businesses, get an education, improve infrastructure, so that they can become self-sufficient? And when times are tough, like they are today, it would be good to have that minimal paycheck so that you don't lose your home and can have food on the table until the economy rebounds. \_ one word, kleptocracy \_ To expand on this, the recent past has shown that when we send money and/or food into nations with corrupt leadres, the resources don't get there. The corrupt leaders line their pockets. Look at just about any country in Africa, Haiti or the Palestinians for examples. \_ Stop bringing fact and reality into this. \_ DON'T CRITICIZE THE PALESTINIANS, whatever you do. We all know it is a Jewish conspiracy against the camel jockeys. \_ I'm not criticizing the palestinians. I am criticizing their corrupt leader. \_ Leaders. It's a plural thing there and other corrupt pseudo nations as well. \_ it will be a great day when the secular government of isreal/palestine has a double trial for terrorism for arafat and sharon. \_ Sharon already had a trial, thanks. The palestinians don't have anyone left who can run a government. All the reasonable people got murdered in the streets by Arafat's hit squads. There won't be a palestinian government in your lifetime and the odds of a truly secular one are about zero. \_ that depends on how long i live. consider any 10 countrys, and look at where they were 100 years ago. the world changes. \_ Pick any 10 muslim countries. \_ I like to think that having random acts of terror and the slow internal destruction of US civil liberties, not including the increasing autocrastic governmental rule as payment enough. \_ Civil liberties have been eroding since FDR. Good call. I like the way you think. You have a good historical perspective and aren't babbling about how GWB was the start of it all like some other zero-historical-perspective motd scribblers around here. Actually, some would say it goes back even further to the 16th. |

9/3 How do I capture all keyboard events under linux? I want to do
"cat /dev/keyboard > keyboard_log"
\_ there is an OS independent hardware solution, if you're willing
spend the money($159.00):
http://www.thespystore.com/pcsurveillance.htm
\_ try xev
\_ But how do I capture all windows? even new ones that are
popped up? And what about VTYs?
\_ get a life?
\_ run freebsd, use the snoop device
\_ rewrite keyboard drivers.
\_ what are you trying to accomplish? this is not likely what you
want to do, unless you're doing something really lame.
\-hello, i have written a module to do this under some
solaris and from my conversation with linux people it seems
like this can be adapted for linux however i lack the knowledge
of how to do this on intel hardware [i dont understand these
IRQs real well] and linux kernel modules. if you have a good
reason, i can send you this, however i think it will be a fair
amount of work to adapt for linux. i vaguely remember some
securty researcher said there was something for linux aready
although it may not be generally avail beyond security
researchers [this was for a honeypot]. ok tnx.
\_ everytime I see "ok tnx." I get this warm-fuzzy all over! |

9/3 I'd like to donate equipments (eg 160G HD) so that I can influence
politburo members into giving me root access. How do I go about
doing that? P.S. I'm an alumni
\_ alumnus (possibly alumna) or alum
\_ are you female? I think most of them are tired of making love
to mr.hand
\_ rosie Palm and her five sisters are h07!
\_ The Palm SEXtet (pun intended) will make you blind!
\_ You mean *Miss* Hand? Or are they gay?
\_ No, you're just 100% clueless.
\_ mail politburo. ask. -chialea
\_ chialea! I want to kiss you! :-)
\_ are you an eastcoast or westcoast stalker of hers? !fan
\_ you're freaky
\_ No, they're dreamy! --chialea #1 fan #1 fan
\_ a.k.a. chialea
\_ Incorrect.
--chialea #1 fan #1 fan
\_ you're going about it the wrong way. you need to bribe a single
root person, not the whole politburo. you don't want official
access, just access. social hacking.
\_ is that how paolo got root?
\_ Speaking of bribing, have the recent politburo requested
alumni support yet for this year?
\_ still not getting it. you dont support politburo for root,
you buy some kid a few beers. sheesh. must i spell out
*everything* for you?
\_ Not looking for root, just wondering about funding.
\_ maybe they can request funding for a SCSI RAID card.
\_ if you're cute, you screw for root.
\_ The secretary?
\_ Good things I'm not sexy@csua anymore -chialea
\_ Get real. Sleep with csua root users instead of popping
5 bucks for cheap beer? Son, not all sex is good sex.
You should go for the beer option. |

9/4 Does anyone on soda run an ebay based business?
\_ An ex-coworker was making a few bucks a week. Not enough to retire
but she was doing ok with minimal effort. It also gave her some-
thing to do during work hours. |

9/4 I've got an E450, Solaris 2.7, and a D1000. I've cabled up the scsi
the way the manual says. Shouldn't the disks show up with the format
command? Any idea what I'm missing? Thanks!
\_ boot -r # gots to look for the disks first...
\_ did 'reboot -- -r'. I don't have easy console access. I also
did 'drvconfig' followed by 'disks' which is supposed to do the
same thing they say.
\_ Sorry to hear about the console access, but my next move
would be probe-scsi and probe-scsi-all from the ok prompt.
\_ I'm trying to avoid that if possible since it requires
some travel....
\_ Won't help you much now, but you should really have
some sort of remote console access (terminal server
or serial cable) to non-local unix boxes. It's a
great help in situations like this. As it is,
unless I'm missing something, I think you're SOL,
unless there's a way to get the eeprom to recognize
new hardware on the fly. -John
\_ Not my box. Sometimes you gotta take what life
gives you and hope for the best.
\_ Make sure you're using an HVD SCSI card since D1000 is HVD SCSI
box.
\_ Hooked up to a single edged controller. The cabling exactly
matched another e450/d1000 pair I have that's working. I'm
thinking maybe the d1000 is just fucked. Running out of reasons
for this.
\_ HVD SCSI uses the same connectors as other SCSI
implementations. You could have plugged the D1000 into a
single-ended card. I'd double check the SCSI card chipset
and part number.
\_ I've got single edged scsi on addon cards which don't work
and tried the built in regular scsi. Nothing going on.
\_ The question is: Do you have a HVD SCSI card in
the system? Do you? --dim
\_ Yes. I'm desperate and trying things I'm sure won't
work bc I already tried everything I think should.
\_ HVD = High Voltage Differential as in NOT a normal Sun onboard SCSI
port. -ax
\_ Bent pin on the SCSI cable? SCSI Host ID's set to 0 or 7 on D1000?
Also, one bad disk can hang the whole SCSI bus and you will see
nothing. Finally, split the D1000 into 2 separate 6 disks pieces
using a terminator and no loop cable between the busses and see if
you can see either bus. -ax |

9/4 Is sniffing whiteout really as harmful as people say?
\_ Doesn't that give you syphillis?
\_ They say it kills brain cells, but anyone who'd do it was
clearly lacking in that department to begin with, so it's
hard to say.
\_ Dumbass! The less brain cells you have, the more precious
they are.
\_ there exists a point beyond which the number of brain
cells do not matter. it is not clear whether our
cells does not matter. it is not clear whether our
whiteout sniffer is beyond that point.
\_ sort of like the difference between lettuce and cabbage?
\_ more like between windows me and windows xp
\_ so you have to disable 90% of the stuff in the newer
one so it works halfway decently?
\_ Now I wanna sniff some glue. |

9/4 My DMV Vehicle Registration Renewal Notice says my car needs a smog
check. Can I renew the registration before getting a smog check so
that the renewal won;t be past due?
\_ if yer that paranoid about it, go to an Arco w/ RapidRenewal.
you can just walk up and they will smog your car and if it passes
they will file your registration and give you your tags on the
spot -shac
\_ No. It only takes 30 minutes to get a smog check and the results
are instantly wired directly to the state. Stop being a weeny.
Just go take care of it.
\_ Unecessarily ascerbic, but correct. I did this three weeks ago
and the whole process, including the DMV getting me my new
stickers by mail, took only six days.
\_ Is there such a thing as "unecessarily ascerbic" on the motd
as long as you're right?
\_ I took it in by person, and had the process (smog check +
registration) completed in 2 hours.
\_ Yes. You can pay the registration and avoid a late fee. You won't
get the registration and sticker until you do the smog check,
though. --dim
\_ Seconded. I got charged late fees because the records on
my car were fucked up, and when I called to complain they
wouldn't remove the late fees because I could have paid
the registration and waited for the smog check to come
through.
\_ Which means you're not registered and not legal to drive.
\_ Not true. Your registration will show that it's paid and
that there is a lien pending for smog. You also avoid the
late fee, which I assume the OP was worried about. --dim
\_ I also registered first, then Smogged-- it worked fine.
\_ Oh yeah? You get pulled over?
\_ yes this is okay. However, if you get pulled
over, you will get a "fix-it" ticket. $10 at the
minimum. |
