12/19 America is being invaded http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=30072 '...15 percent of school children in California are illegal immigrants...More than 14 percent of the inmates in California's prisons are illegal aliens' Now we know California has a 35$ billion budget deficit - can the libs and RINOs put 2 and 2 together? \_ Damn those politicans who use pro-illegal-immigrant policies to buy votes. Damn those relatives of the illegal immigrants who vote for them. \_ Damn those politicans who use pro-illegal-immigration policies to buy votes. Damn those relatives of the illegal immigrants who vote for them. Damn those who label anti-illegal-immigration ones as "anti-immigration" in order to confuse people. \_ hey genius, where did you get your logic degree? even the hair in my asshole is smart enough to not get fooled by your argument. is my ass hair smarter than you? -ali \_ Yeah whatever. What a worthless reply. If you're so damned smart then spell it out instead of the ad hominen garbage. -!OP |

12/19 Sigh... more resume help for motd readers: you may have graduated with a 3.918/4.0 but your resume sucks. No one wants to read prose. Keep it to simple bullet points. Each job posting online will get roughly 400 resumes. No one reads full sentences. Make it easy for the reader. You get about 0.75 seconds to convince someone to skim the rest of your resume. Harsh? Yes, but true. Cut out all that crap and try again. \_ ...and you want help people with 4.0 gpa's who somehow make it all the way through college with no communication skills or common sense why? fuck them. if they can't communicate well enough to tell you why you should hire them they probably aren't useful to you. \_ most EECS majors probably meet this description \_ http://xmlresume.sourceforge.net Won't help much with the brevity problem, but possibly useful. \_ GPA is irrelevant after X number of years in the industry. RIGHT? \_ That X is probably 10 years. If you're a newgrad or with 5-7 years experience, I do look at GPA if I have 10 people who are equally good at coding. If two people both are good at solving problems and one has a high GPA and the other has a low GPA, which one would you hire? GPA tells me that the person is more responsible and disciplined. Skills are the most important quality of course. But all else being equal, high GPA wins. \_ X=10? I stopped putting that crap on my resume after four years and emphasized references, work experience, and projects. Much better indicators of how you'll do at the job. \_ I agree with the above. X=10 is silly. After 10 years if you ask me my gpa after seeing TEN YEARS of work experience and think what I did as a child somehow matters TEN YEARS later then I'll happily keep looking because working for such an inflexible and thoughtless PHB would suck big time. |

12/19 I downloaded Easy CD-DA extractor to rip an audio CD. This is the CD with one 40 minute track that I'm trying to break it up. After reaching the end, it chokes and dies, and says something about corrupted track. And erases the entire .wav file. I know there're problems with the track near the end. Is there another ripper that will let you choose how many minutes of the audio to rip? Or one that's smarter about just not reading the corrupted part? Thanks. \_ Undelete the .wav and go on with life. \_ the deleted file doesn't show up in the recycle bin. If I understand correctly, only files deleted by an user shows up there. I'll try Exact Audio. Thanks. \_ that's not what undelete is. seek clue. \_ Amazing how the mass availability of windows crap has so utterly destroyed clue scores. STFW for "undelete FAT32" and let us know how it went. \_ I already told when you posted before: Exact Audio Copy. http://www.exactaudiocopy.de |

12/19 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A11633-2002Dec19.html The failure of gun control in Britain. Dead unarmed cops everywhere. \_ actually it's a failure of their immigration policy. \_ Why can't we just get along and agree that it's both? \_ Ok, I'll go along with that. \_ while we're having this lovefest, can I get a hug for the "I blame Hollywood/James Bond" faction? \_ No. Censorship doesn't fix anything. Violent movies don't make people violet. Sexy movies don't make people have sex. Smart movies don't make people smart. Movies from Hollywood are just weak entertainment. Hollywood is not the social force it believs itself to be. |

12/20 Is there a way to get SSH to do keepalives (for firewalls/dial-up sessions with inactivity timeouts?) I currently do ssh -X and send an xclock over it, but I usually have more than one host open, and things get a bit cluttered. -John \_ the inband keepalive is daemon configurable \_ the inband keepalive is daemon configurable -shac \_ I just have a script that echoes a character to the screen every 10 minutes. -- yuen \_ Put "KeepAlive Yes" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config \_ The line is already there. Guess it doesn't work. \_ My office fw filters that so I do the same thing yuen does. \_ KeepAlive actually sends out-of-band so.. it's not what it seems.. you actually want ClientAliveInterval which sends inband.. however its ssh2 only and some ssh clients will barf when they see this packet.. if your client doesnt barf at it, then it will keep your session alive -shac |

12/20 Has anyone heard of Dent Magic (http://www.dentmagic.com How on earth does it work? Is it a scam? \_ They hammer the dents out from the inside. It works well, but it's a delicate art, so it's not cheap. \_ I haven't heard of it, but generally anything with "Magic" in the title is a scam. \_ Magic Johnson, Magic Flute, Scotch Magic Tape, The Magic Bra. :-) \_ I used http://dentbusters.com to remove 7 or 8 little dents. I don't know how it works but it did. Your dents cannot have any paint damage, cause it doesn't fix paint damage. \_ Magic: The Gathering...oh wait \_ partition magic? \_ okay, I was wrong. \_ Kragen sells stuff that will remove scratches. \_ I used something similar (dentbusters.com) to remove 7 or 8 little dents. I don't know how it works but it did. Your dents cannot have any paint damage, cause it doesn't fix paint damage. |
