3/3 Hello soap scum and hard water spot experts. I tried CLR on my
shower door and it removed maybe 25% more spots than Tilex Soap Scum.
However there are still a lot of spots on the glass and they're just
not coming off. Will white vinegar work better? Thanks.
\_ get the distilled vinegar. one trick i found effective was to
apply it to paper towels and stick the wet paper towel to the
surface. the idea is to let the vinegar sit on the spot for a
while and let the acid do its thing. keep in mind your shower
will smell like vinegar for about a day.

hmm... and why we are bitching about Iran again?
\_ From a "moral superiority" standpoint? There's no reason we should.
From a "don't be a dumbass" standpoint? Because they'd actually
USE the nukes on us or someone we care about.
\_ There are no indication that they would. All the sabre rattling

3/3 I'd like to see a poll on the average time it takes someone to
regret a tatoo.
\_ When they get re-programmable tatoos, the old ones will seem kind of
lame, although if some fucker put one with ads and DRM it could
lead to a whole new kind of trouble.
\_ I got my first back in...99? Still no regrets -- I actually want
to add to it. -mice
\_ A friend of mine wanted tats at 16 but her mom said she'd regret it
at 30, so she waited until she was 30 to get her first. :-)
\_ I got my tattoo when I was 19, 34 now and I still like it. It is
rather large but it is on my back so it doesn't show at work and
such.
\_ I think it varies for male vs female and (esp for female) where you
put the tats. Those who opted for front stomach/under belly prior
to pregnancy will surely drive up the numbers. Those who gets it on
the upper back would most likely be the happiest of the bunch.
\_ A friend of mine got a couple of little tattoos (ankles), and 12
years later still has no regrets. -mice
years later she has no regrets. -mice
years later she still has no regrets. -mice
\_ My brother has complete sleeves and a big one on his chest, too.
Whether he regrets it or not depends on his mood and what's
going on in life. He worked for a straight-laced company and
he regretted it big-time. Now he works for a place where lots
of guys have tattoos and he's happier about it. He did tell his
ex-girlfriend not to get sleeves, too, but she did it anyway.
So I think if he had to do it all over he wouldn't do it, because
they are there even on days you wish they weren't.
\_ Duh. Plus you can't change it. You can put on some different
clothes, get a new haircut, but that tat is just there.
To me tats are "hi i'm an idiot" signs.

people to know that. -tom

3/3 Has the CSUA considered asking alumni to ccme back and give talks about
the cool stuff they are doing? I'm thinking of bz (Cyan), maybe aubie
(Pixar)... I'm sure there are plenty of others I'm forgetting (no
offense intended). Twohey, lea, myself and others could talk about
grad school. Brg could too, but I don't know if you would want that.
I bet mconst could put on some kind of freaky variety show (he'll
solve an open math problem, patch a critical kernel bug, then kick
your ass at any video game in existence). There are distance issues
involved for some folks, but if they were asked (well, if I was asked)
I bet people would make an effort. I think this could be a huge draw,
and take advantage of one of the CSUA's core strengths. I'll leave
you with the opening to a talk I was writing for UCB undergrads about
going to grad school:
"This talk is either going to suck donkey balls, or rock you like an
exam written by Hilfinger _and_ Garcia. And I just came from the
Super-DC, where they are FRESH OUT OF DONKEY BALLS. As Yoda says,
there is no try, only do."

\_ I brought in a guy from work to talk about election security.
It was a facinating talk, but, of course, almost no one showed

security in this country. Probably not in most others either.
\_ Umm, no duh? So we can't have a talk on it? -jrleek
\_ Of course, but it's such an obscure topic for most
\- vertex algebras is an obscure topic.
election security is hardly obscure.
people, especially the politically unaware freshmen
that I'm not surprised it wasn't well attended. Do you
think most people are aware elections have been rigged
since forever? Most people don't even vote so why would
they care if an election is manipulated or not?
\_ Well, this was primarily about electronic voting.
\_ Erm, isn't that sort of part of the purpose of a
university, to expose you to obscure topics? -John
\_ No. You're supposed to get a 'higher education'
which isn't necessarily the same thing. Anyway,
even if it was the point, attending a side lecture
or talk like this, no matter how interesting or
educational, is still voluntary. How many times
were you in class when a prof went off on some side
topic and someone asked, "will this be on the exam?"
Thus, few people attended something that may have
been quite interesting and educational. It wasn't
on the midterm.
\_ Of course it's voluntary. But let's face it,
you could, theoretically, learn all the crap you
get from a university from books. I don't know
about you, but the most valuable thing I got
out of Cal was the sum total of exposure to ideas
and people that I would not otherwise have had
access to. I think "will this be on the exam" is
one of the saddest questions imaginable. -John
\_ Of course it is. However Cal probably isn't
the best choice for people looking for a
classical liberal arts education. After the
various admissions and self filtering that
goes on to create a freshman class, plus
the environment once you get here there isn't
a lot of room for that sort of thing. Thus,
you get a high percentage of people who won't
attend what was probably an interesting, yet
entirely voluntary/no credit talk.
\_ Why not? I don't know about nowadays, but
course catalog when I attended (92-96, to
be honest) was jam packed with interesting,
esoteric stuff. I had a lot of amazing
profs _and_ good TAs, as well as contact
with some really funky, smart people who
enjoyed attending "interesting", voluntary
talks. Same university? -John
\_ You're either smart and cynical or just plain
dumb. It makes me glad I devoted time and effort
to fucking with your kind when they were my peers
in classes or students in classes I TAed. -dans
\_ Ok since you can't even figure out what "kind"
I am.... I'm just glad I was here today to
give you the opportunity to post how smart
you are and how you abused other people in
class. Whatever. I don't know what button
of yours I hit with my harmless reply to John,
but your response is... interesting.
\_ This isn't about smart or dumb. It's about
your assertion that the purpose of attending
university is to get a `higher education'
(whatever that means), a view that I hold
to be either cynical and shortsighted or
outright stupid. Individuals who approach
university classrooms with your attitude
water down the university experience for
everyone. Every time some selfish or
stupid twit asks ``Will this be on the
midterm,'' it takes away from class time
that could be spent *gasp* learning. Thus,
I view it as a duty to encourage others to
move away from a fundamentally parasitic and
harmful attitude toward the university
experience, if necessary, by beating it out
of them. Cheers. -dans

\_ Heh. I *broke* the ASUC election system the first year it
was computerized. As in I produced a demonstrably working
exploit. I then took my findings to the elections chair and
worked with him to secure against my exploit and other
avenues of attack. I spoke about this at DefCon and
Computers Freedom and Privacy in 2004. The following year
the election technical lead didn't test the old code until
the eve of the elections, and I led the team that wrote a
superior replacement in under 8 hours. If you include time
to recruit the team members, it took approx. 12 hours from
start to rollout. Last I checked, this code was still in
use, albeit with some modifications by OCF members. If folks
\_ Oh shit. --team member
would like, I'd be happy to do a talk on this. If you time
it at the beginning of the ASUC election campaign season and
flyer on south side, it would probably be a great way to
bring in more members that don't have traditional computing
backgrounds. If current CSUA members want to see this
happen, email me. -dans
\_ I probably would have attended. I think what you need to do
is get people excited somehow, and then make sure that the
talk delivers (see, for example, the series of talks by
Brewer, Karp, etc, last year). The CSUA needs positive buzz.
In my mind this means more than flyering - it means people
going into classes and being _enthusiastic_ about what they
are selling. Does current pburo have the mental energy to
pull this off? Not meant as offensive. Also, as alumni,
I could be wrong, full of shit, or both.

3/3 http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/03/03/cunningham.sentence.ap Take a bribe for $2 mil for only 10 years in prison. That's still over 2X the amount I make a year as an engineer and 1.5X the amount average Harvard MBAs make. Moral of the story: it's ok to take a bribe as long as the amount is big enough, because it pays off. \_ You think being in prison, even a country club prison, for 10 years is worth it? I'll take my freedom thanks. The price for freedom is way higher than 2x your salary. \_ Seriously. this douchebag op thinks prison can't be any harder than a day away from his computer, and actually doesn't realize how he'd likely die within one week, literally, of prison life. people the likes of us on the motd don't last long in prison. \_ My old CS250 TA did a year in county lock-up. It wasn't fun, but he survived ok. He's a really sweet guy too. \_ Did you read the article? First off, it's all in gifts, it's not like they just handed him $2.4mil. Two, he probably doesn't get to keep the stuff. Three, he's old and in poor health. I don't think I'd take $2mil to die in prison. \_ He's also probably going to face a big fine as well. An earlier version of that article claimed $1.6M, but the current article on CNN doesn't say.... \_ He's also probably going to face a big fine as well. According to Yahoo News, he was ordered to pay $1.8M and return $1.85M in valuables. I'm inclined to think that this contradicts the "Moral of the story" you've asserted, OP. \_ He doesn't get to keep it.

3/3 Do you expect your immediate manager to support you/your department
even if it's to the detriment of the company? As a manager, should
you support your department/staff even when it's to the detriment
of the company? If your manager doesn't stand up for you then who
will? On the other hand, being a good manager means doing what's
best for the company. I'm just curious what others think. Imagine,
for instance, that a department is asked to layoff 50% of its
employees and outsource that work to India to save the company money.
As the manager, do you fight for your employees or not? As an
employee, what do you expect your manager to do?
\_ IMO: There is no such thing as "the company" for non-trivial sized
companies. There is me, my subordinates, my immediate superior in
my group and that's it. The sales and marketing team sure as hell
isn't going to take a hit so you can get a raise or hire more
engineers so you don't have to work 16 hour days. Your manager
should fight like a rabid grizzly to save his team. If he isn't
there for his staff he isn't doing anything. If there were rumored
layoffs coming and I got the slightest hint my manager was going to
do anything but fight his ass off for us, I'd immediately post my
resume to get a jump on things, so should you. There is no such
thing as "the company" to which anyone owes any loyalty. There is
the CEO who is going to get a multi hundred million dollar kiss off
for killing the company, the rest of the execs who will get around
50-100 million, the lower level execs who might get 2-5 million and
everyone else who is getting the shaft when shit hits the fan.
\_ So you expect your manager to fight for his subordinates
even when the "right" thing to do is clearly accept the
recommendation from upper management? What if it's something
like relocation and not a layoff? Or what if it concerns
salaries/benefits? I mean, I think there is some point where
fighting the good fight works against the manager's career,
or where the employees can clearly see that a decision is
a good one even if it hurts them, no? The question is whether a
manager should protect his employees against better judgement
and whether employees expect him to.
\_ I don't expect him to fall on his sword. I do expect him to
put up a good fight or if his group is clearly doomed to have
the balls to let them know enough in advance to find another
job before the axe drops. If the group goes, but the manager
is staying, that's BS. Relocations: some people actually
would want one. They aren't necessarily a bad thing if the
company is covering the costs and some extra for hassle.
Salary/benefits: don't touch my salary/benefits. I accepted
a certain offer. The number of cases where staff taking a
cut at a tech-oriented company has saved the company is so
slim that I can't actually recall any but I'll grant there
are probably some. When staff takes a cut, execs never do.
You refer a few times to various people's better judgement
and what is "right". As determined by who? A corporation is
nothing but a large pile of negotiated agreements between the
managers, staff, execs, vendors, buyers, and a ton of other
people to agree to perform a set of distinct tasks which will
provide some service or product. The key phrase here is
"distinct tasks". I was hired to perform some set of tasks
in exchange for compensation for my time, skills, etc. If I
don't get that compensation then why would I perform the
tasks? The manager is hired to keep his group as a whole
coordinated performing some larger tasks as part of the
greater whole. If he lets his group get destroyed why does
he still have a job? As far as the general theme of 'greater
wisdom coming from on-high': no such animal. They're just
people. Some of them might actually know what they're doing
and be able to perform their duties better than you could but
most are just there because they went to the right schools,
were raised in the right families or kissed the right asses
for long enough.
\_ You are thinking too hard. Imagine, say, you are the
manager of the telegraph portion of Western Union.
manager of the telegraph portion of the Soviet Union.
Management tells you they are going to stop offering
that service (which really happened). You haven't had
much business, so you know it's a smart thing to do.
However, there are some old-time employees who were
hired for that particular task and can't transfer
somewhere else. You know they will be screwed. Do you
argue in favor of telegrams and their value to society
and the company or do you work with management to
eliminate the department? What about implementing some
sort of automation which will vastly shrink your
department by spending a lot of money on hardware instead
of employees (think auto manufacturers)? Do you fight
for your employees or implement the procedure that
saves costs? That's what I mean by "right". Sometimes
the right decision is obvious. You hire 12 people
anticipating lots of business. You have work enough
for 2. The right thing is to let 10 go. Do you tell
senior management that or do you hold onto your
fiefdom for not really your sake, but for the sake of
others? From a management perspective it seems obvious,
but I am curious what employees think their managers
should do "for them" as a "good manager".
\_ If you're my manager in a 12-person group with work
for two people, and I'm not one of your top two, let
me go. You're not doing me any favors by keeping me
on when I might be able to get a more interesting job
elsewhere, and you're harming your own interests as
well. The best thing you can do is look to transfer
your extra employees internally or, failing that,
arrange for them to get a good send-off (a comp package
would be nice) and offer to be a reference. -gm
\_ Post "acquisition", I was asked to try to keep my group together.
My take on the situation was that most of my group would be let
go after the transition period. I didn't make a scene, but I
left the company pretty quickly. But that's just me. I fully
expected the people I worked for to screw everyone in their path.
\_ Asked by who to keep the group together?
\_ "It depends". That can be a really tough call for even a good,
ethical, loyal and intelligent manager to make under many
circumstances. Helpful, huh? -John |

currency to basket (US$, EURO, Yen, pound).

is behind a pay wall.

3/3 UNC low-grade terror attack
http://abclocal.go.com/wtvd/story?section=local&id=3958312
\_ One idiot driving his car through "a popular campus gathering
spot" does not make for a terror attack, no matter why he said he
did it. Otherwise, we're going to have to arrest Jodie Foster for
the actions of her Army of One.
\_ One person can't execute a terror attack?
\_ Doesn't it seem odd to you that something that could so easily
have killed several people, even by accident was non-fatal,
and that the guy is now claiming to be a terrorist? It
just doesn't add up.
\_ You make the mistake of implying that all terrorists are
rational, sane individuals. -John
\_ HEIL GERMAN JOHN!
\_ And you're making the mistake of assuming that there is
any correlation between what the news says and reality.
\_ I was about to launch into a diatribe, but then it
struck me how random this comment is. -John |
