11/11   does anyone know how to extend this makefile to support make clean

           in a makefile.  Or use a "for" construct.
        \_ Isn't the idea that the subdirs would each have a makefile that
           this makefile would call and give clean as a parameter?

11/12   Anyone ever successfully used the mod-ssl directive SSLRequire
        (not to be confused with SSLRequireSSL)?  I'd like to use it to
        require ssl to access resources that use Basic or Digest
        authentication.  Something along the lines of:
        SSLRequire %{AUTH_TYPE} eq "Basic" or %{AUTH_TYPE} eq "Digest"
        Alternatively:
        SSLRequire %{AUTH_TYPE} ne ""
        Unfortunately the SSLRequire doesn't appear to work *at all*,
        even for simple cases like:
        SSLRequire 2 < 1
        Suggestions?  Is there a simpler way to accomplish the above?
        The alternative of requiring that SSLRequireSSL directives be
        sprinkled into every .htaccess file that specifies AuthType is lame
        and unmaintainable. -dans
        \_ A more useful answer than doing SSLRequire is to do a Redirect
           to the same URL but https:// in each situation.  Two caveats:
           1) this still doesn't solve the logic problem (if AUTH_TYPE ...)
           2) you _can't_ do this in .htaccess, it has to be in the httpd.conf
              in a <Directory> or <Location> tag.  If you put it in the
              .htaccess, it will try to do the redirect _after_ the basic auth
              <DEAD>..com<DEAD>e to think of it, you may be having the same problem w/
              your SSLRequire; try putting it in the httpd.conf  --dbushong
              \_ I've actually done this in the past, and it is a nice way
                 to smooth over a user-unfriendly Forbidden message.
                 Unfortunately it suffers from the same maintainability
                 problems as teh sprinkling SSLRequireSSL statements
                 everywhere :(.  As for SSLRequire, I haven't been able to
                 get it to work properly anywhere, either httpd.conf or
                 .htaccess.  Thanks for the response. -dans

11/11   It is estimated that 25% of the pregnancies end up as miscarriage
        within the first week of conception, extending the period to 4-6
        weeks. So wouldn't it be possible that rather than having abnormal
        period, she simply had a miscarriage?
        \_ Are you the rhythm/withdrawal guy?
        \_ Dude, relax.  Don't be panicking.  First of all, if your gf doesn't
           normally have large variances in her cycle, she should schedule
           an appointment with her ob/gyn.  Second of all, it just doesn't
           make any sense to try and self-diagnose; esp. when a huge number of
           things can cause these sorts of irregularities.  Get her to see a
           doctor, then go from there.  There's no use getting worked up or
           freaked out until then.  Third and last, MOTD is SO not the right
           place to seek out advice for this -- there are better, more informed
           sources of information available; you just have calm down and look.

11/12   What is America's shittiest city or metropolitan area? vote now!
        Bay Area in General: .......
        \_ ugly girls, lack of girls, overpriced housing, pay sucks relative
           to cost of living, gas expensive, car maintenance expensive,
           Chinese restaurants inferior to Los Angeles
           \_ Lack of girls?  Someone needs to get out of the 3rd floor of soda.
              \_ They're there, but they are ugly. On the plus side, they are
                 less picky than the princesses in LA.
                 \_ Yup, and they give it up a lot more often.
        Berkeley, CA: ...
        \_ you guys haven't seen shit then.
           \_ Let's see, 4 years in Berkeley and I have had:
                bank robbery: 1
                break in: 1 (stolen VCR, etc.)
                thefts: 4 (2 bikes plus 2 bike wheels, 1 leather jacket)
                car jack at gun point: 1 (ok, not me but my friend)
                con job: 1 (got conned for $50, ok, I was a dumb freshie
                         then. did catch the con man trying to con
                         another student several weeks later, and told
                         him to fuck off.)
                \_ brother of my friend got hit with a fucking iron pipe on
                   the head from behind, while he was walking home from Soda
                   along that dark little diagonal passageway with bushes all
                   around.  Managed to come to later, and crawl to the
                   hospital.  Yay Berkeley!
                \_ I've lived in Berkeley all my 23 years and the only crime I
                   was a 'victim' of was living with a screaming crazy person
                   for 3 months.  Are you guys just really unlucky?
                   \_ more likely just really naive easy targets
                      \_ If walking along dark little paths after dark is
                         indicative, then I'd have to say 'Yes'.
                \_ My friend was offered a pile of human feces on wax paper.
                   \_ I don't think stealing my stories works with cable modem.
                \_ lock both bike wheels to the bike/post, don't leave leather
                   jackets unattended in the library/cafe
                \_ what was the con?
                \_ first summer, broken into and tied up in bed with electric
                cords from alarm. Chased down in my own complex's court yard
                by Police who broke the fence into a secured apartment

           \_ I work and socialize there.  It's a dump.  It was semi decent
              about 15 years ago but is shit today.  So yeah, SF gets a vote.
              Why do you assume I prefer bland?  I prefer not stepping around
              homeless people shitting on the side walks or seeing the
              aftermath of my friend getting a gun put in his face after they
              pistol whipped him and stole the few things he had on him.  So,
              yeah, did I remember the "fuck you!" part of this?  I think I
              didn't.  Here comes!  Fuck you!
               \_ How about Compton?  Surely SF can't be worse than Compton?
                  Even if you think they are both dangerous or have too
                  many homeless people/social problems, at least SF also has
                  many good points, good restaurants, culture, public
                  transportation, etc.
                  \_ I added my city.  Go add compton if you want.  I've never
                     been there.
              \_ Hey, how about fuck YOU?  All urban areas have problems.  Go
                 to the suburbs if you don't want to see them.  San Francisco
                 has lots of nice neighborhoods and tons of incredible culture
                 and residents.  If you just hang out in SOMA with the rest of
                 the clubbers, and downtown with the rest of the office drones,
                 yeah, you'll think its a dump.  Get a life, Mr. Bridge and
                 Tunnel, and try some of the other parts of the city.  You might
                 even learn something.  Fucker.
                 \_ I've lived in several big cities, and I think San Francisco
                    is below average.  I like the Bay Area, but not San
                    Francisco.  - yet another poster
                    \_ I love surface judgements.  When I used to live in
                       Oakland, people would talk mad shit about how horrible
                       it was, and yet most of them had never done more than
                       drive through it once or twice and maybe had lunch
                       downtown or been to a party or three.  They just listened
                       to other people's preconceived notions or whatever bs
                       the chronicle published.  Once you got to know it, it
                       was a really interesting place with lots of buried
                       little secrets.  And best of all, there weren't any
                       morons around because they were too busy listening to
                       people's stupid attitudes about the place.  Yeah, its
                       got big issues, but so does any place that isn't a bland
                       suburban nightmare.  I can also say that though I lived
                       in a supposedly "bad," working class neighborhood of
                       Oakland for four years, the ONLY place I was ever a
                       victim of crime was in Berkeley.  As for San Francisco,
                       once again, most of the places that "visitors" flock to
                       are for sucktards.  I live in Hayes Valley now, just
                       north of the Lower Haight, and I wouldn't want to live
                       anywhere else.

                       \_ Dude, it's the ESL Conspiracy Theorist Guy.  He's so
                          mired in his Anti-US Utopia, that he's invented his
                          own english-like vocabulary and a unique sort of
                          logic to support his POV.
                       \_ Alright, who let the John Bircher out of his cage
                          again?
           \_ Last time I checked, we were still trying Nazi Criminals couple
              years ago.  If the statue of limitation is more than 50 years
              (as how we treats the Nazis), I think a lot of people deserve
              to be hung.
              \_ They were convicted in 1945.  There's no place in the world
                 where running away for long enough after a conviction gets
                 you off the hook.  But, yes, I agree with you that a lot of
                 people deserve to be hung, statute of limitations or not.

        \_ We must purge the counterrevolutionary elements!
           \_ death to capitalist roaders!!
        \_ Your link says nothing like that.  Keep posting mislabeled links
           and find them purged.  It was a good link for a real conversation.
           It's too bad you're too stupid to see that and ruined it.

11/12   Does Ramadan always come in the fall/winter, or does is slowly move
        from year-to-year such that it sometimes falls in the summer?
        \) it moves
        \_ They use a 12 (lunar) month calendar.  No leap months.  So, it
           shifts backwards about 3 weeks each year.
           \_ Thanks.  I guess fasting will get a bit more unpleasant in about
              6 years. -op
           \_ Why is Chinese NY always near the beginning of the year, then?
              Isn't that also on the lunar calendar?
              \_ they use ~13 lunar months
<troll>
              \_ I believe they have a leap month, so sometimes the year
                 is 12 months, sometimes 13.  That's how the Jewish
                 calendar is too.
                 \_ The Jews, always trying to screw up what day Christmas
                    falls on each year.  I hate that.
