8/5     kchang says: sorry, in an attempt to fix Atom bugs, the unique ID (<id>) of
        the CSUA MOTD feed started to change every day (the datestamp moves),
        thus a lot of readers think all the threads are unique. I've fixed it
        so that the unique ID is constant so you guys don't get every single
        old entry from previous dates. Sorry about innundating your reader
        with a bunch of old entries. PS if you use RSS/Atom reader, you
        can add the CSUA MOTD feed here: http://csua.com/feed
        \_ what was broken in the first place?
           \_ Misha Dynin pointed me to a feedvalidator and pointed out
              errors in the <id> format which I fixed:

                 like the Federalists
        \_ When's the next world war?
           \_ ask putin, or north korea

8/5     Why is Mac OS 10.6 $29 and 10.5.6 $129? Is it a typo?
        \_ $29 for existing users.
           \_ it doens't even support ppc does it.
              \_ who cares about ppc anymore? Everything is Intel based

                 \_ I have a quad core G5 ppc.
                 \_ I have an Xserve PPC.
                 \_ I manage a lab of PPC G5 towers for kids.
        \_ 10.4 -> 10.5 = $129
           10.5 -> 10.6 = $29
           In order to go to 10.4 to 10.6, you must purchase cumulatively:
           10.4 -> 10.5 -> 10.6 = $129 + $29
           Patch releases are free:
           10.5 -> 10.5.1 -> 10.5.2 -> ... = $0
