10/24 How do you guys deal with different backspace characters in different terminal programs? I have a screen where the terminal is set to erase = ^h, but then sometimes I use a terminal (on some other machine, say) where backspace sends ^?. Are there really any ways of dealing with this besides making sure every terminal I happen to use is configured to use the erase character I use in my screen? \_ Use bash. It's not 100% effective though, but modern versions of bash just accept both as backspace. |

10/14 Does a Mini-ITX Mobo fit an ATX case? \_ Sure. It's smaller isn't it? \_ Yeah, but I mean will the holes line up? \_ Sorry, just being an ass. I think so, but really, you should check the specs on your motherboard for case compatibility. \_ Rad, the VIA EPIA is "Micro ATX Chassis Compliant"! \_ Rad, just found: VIA EPIA "Micro ATX Chassis Compliant"! |

10/24 Hail Bush and his citizens, the ruler of Earth, the Occupier of Terror, Fourth Reich of this planet!!! http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/reich.html \_ Oklahoma City was done by Iraqis and the Government is covering it up!!! There is a giant conspiracy to trick Americans into believing that Iraq has nothing to do with terrorism!!!!! http://www.cbn.com/CBNNews/News/021022a.asp \_ s/Oklahoma\ City/USS\ Liberty \_ s/Oklahoma\ City/Liberty \_ Bush is Nazi, blah, blah. Actually, the funny is, I just watched Raiders of the Lost Ark, and one of the Nazi's in the truck scene looks a WHOLE lot like Bush... \_ Gee if we went by who we all looked like, then I think all Asians look like Mao, therefore they are potential dictators \_ You take yourself way too seriously, man. Look up 'joke' and 'facetious'. s/Iraq/Isarel |

10/24 How much extra radiation do you get when flying during a Coronal Mass Ejaculation? Like the one occuring right now. \_ "When that bowel shock strikes the earth's magnetic field, it's traveling a million miles an hour or more. So it's really moving. That's a lot of particles, a lot of hydrogen particles protons and electrons slamming in the magnetic field. And it sort of makes it jiggle." \_ You'll die. \_ Sooner? \_ Instantly. Like a marshmellow over a fire pit. \_ Should you worry more about possible plane crash caused by communication to control tower or GPS satellites being disrupted, than the higher radiation that you body receives? \_ In a word, Yes. \_ Like a marshmellow. ZZZZT! \_ ORBITAL LASERS! \_ The Mafia with the help of the Men in Black and The Evil Scientists for a Better Tomorrow would like to attack to control The Orbital Mind Control Lasers. Base attack is 11 or less. Anyone want to pay to stop it? \_ I have a B-1 Bomber with a 100 Megaton warhead. \_ SDI! \_ Since the Boy Sprouts have a controlling influence on the Mafia, and since the Rand Corporation owns the Men in Black, NPR will stop that attack on their soveignity over the OMCL. \_ Not yet they don't! I've got White Collar Crime! Enron shuts off power to NPR's broadcast towers and TOMC are mine! |

10/24 Can someone recommend good links describing what, if any effects Sarbanes-Oxley has on actual technical operations within financial service companies? I've only found detailed info on changes in financial accounting, but I recall reading that it had a pretty serious impact on all transaction and communications logging. -John \_ sounds like much of the changes are due to section 404(a) \_ You shouldn't ignore the scope of the a7-92 or the 640xm. The Barnard-Simpley could be involved as well. |

You're so sued! \_ Dude, seriously, you *CAN'T* put a patent on *squirrels*. \_ we didn't patent squirrels but we have a patent pending business method that involves them. I can't give you details yet but think of: squirrels, the net, and one-click and you're halfway there. \_ See US patent number D369,202, "The ornamental design for a squirrel skinner, as shown and described." http://www.uspto.gov Why am i not suprised this guy is from West Virginia? \_ I'm speechless.

10/25 http://bmg.com sale: (virtually) everything $6.99 per disc, free shipping. No obscure titles naturally but you'd be surprised: Sigur Ros, Charles Aznavour, etc. \_ dude, boycott any member of RIAA, man! \_ it's not like most of the people 'boycotting' anything are ever customers anyway. like pacifists boycotting general dynamics, they just don't care. \_ Wait, why is this good? Isn't the default "buy 12 get 1 free" shit better? especially with a referral. |
