10/1 I typed man ls on soda and didn't get a man page. How can
I fix this?
\_ I have this line in my .cshrc:
setenv MANPATH "/usr/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/X11/man:/csua/man:/usr/share/man"
setenv MANPATH "/usr/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/X11/man:/csua/man:
/usr/share/man"
(I don't even remember whether it came with my account or I added
it myself.)
\_ it worked. thank you. |

10/1 I am thinking of installing firefox on soda under my home directory.
Will this make me a hozer?
\_ Possibly. I wonder if we should have another VM for that...btw,
I remember someone saying they're glad we're not on FreeBSD
anymore, but last I checked, a bunch of our stuff is on FreeBSD,
but our login server is not.
\_ Installing it would not make you a h0zer, but running it might.
\_ Why do you want to do this?
\_ I hear that I can get some journal articles for free
if I'm on the inside of a university, but would have
to pay for them if I went there directly.
\_ That would be filed under 'being a hoser'. Get real. Also
What kind of nerd are you? Don't run firefox on Soda.
Download/write a perl www proxy, or better yet SSH to
Soda and open a socks proxy that you can run Firefox on
your local machine through.
\_ Just use lynx + curl to do the same thing.
\_ Use ssh -D, you idiot.
\_ 1. Can I do the same with PuTTY in XP?
2. How do I tell FireFox to use this?
Thanks. -- another idiot, !OP
\_ Yes, Putty can do it too. Dynamic proxy on port 8080.
Firefox natively supports SOCKS proxies.
\_ When my FireFox uses the "No proxy" setting, every
time I go to a site it goes through the DNS on the
company network which blocks some sites. How do I
force FireFox to go through the "proxy" or "tunnel"
that PuTTY has just set up on the local machine?
-- PP
\_ set it to use socks proxy on whatever port
\_ Specifically, use "Manual proxy configuration".
Enter "localhost" for the SOCKS proxy, and
whatever port number you picked for the dynamic
port forwarding in PuTTY as the port number.
If you want DNS to go through the proxy too,
go to about:config, type "dns", and set
"network.proxy.socks_remote_dns" to true.
\_ It works! The first few minutes I tried
http://www.yahoo.com or any other site, I
only got a blank page and no error message.
But when I try again now, it works! Thank
you MOTD! |

9/30 China October 1st national day parade:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091001/wl_nm/us_china_anniversary
"The soldiers goose-stepping past Tiananmen Square at exactly 116
steps a minute carried the message that this Party knows how to run a
show -- and a huge, restive country."
1. What's the significance of the speed 116/min ?
2. It's not hard to do. For each unit of soldires, desinate one in the
front row of the unit as the leader. Make him carry a small
one-way radio in his pocket (no need for earpiece) which listens to
a central broadcast. At the broadcasting station, just put the
microphone next to a cheap metronome that music students use, and
set it to 116. Since all spectators are banned anyway, no one that
would leak the secret would be close enough to hear the ticks.
\_ you're an idiot.
\_ How so? It's not like they didn't fake the fireworks on TV
(http://www.csua.org/u/m1v or pull a Milli-Vanilli
(http://www.csua.org/u/m3n during the Olympics or anything.
\_ Maybe they should have done 118, 188, or 888 beats a minute.
It's more auspicious for the Communist Party. |

9/30 It's 9/30 people! Wake up!
Anyway, I have a lot of rewards points from my bank which I can
redeem for cash and this got me wondering if I owe tax when I
redeem points for rewards. Knowing the government, I do. Anyone
know? I guess it depends on whether they are considered coupons or
rebates versus income.
\_ Blow it off like everyone else. Get drunk. Enjoy yourself. |

10/1 Signs that Communist China is really opening up!
http://www.csua.org/u/p6f (news.search.yahoo.com)
\_ WOW that is TOTALLY AWESOME. I'd love to see a porn
of this genre. Asian. Lesbians. Military. That
is just awesome.
\_ This unit has unusually good drill and ceremony discipline.
Check out what an American unit on parade looks like. Maybe
they are primarily a ceremonial unit though and spend all their
time on the parade field. I like the white boots. Hot.
\_ You expect miniskirts and white boots from American units?
Our GI Janes aren't cheerleaders.

Check out how crooked the formation is in both of these
pictures.
The Old Guard looks good, but it is a ceremonial unit:

\_ I envison a series with Asian women in the light blue uniforms
and the white boots, and Asian guys in marine camouflage. Scenes
include the women lying at the edge of king-size beds with their
miniskits rolled up and their legs in white boots placed on the
shoulders of the guys with pants down; the guys thrusting into
the women in wheelbarrow position to the beats of "March of the
Volunteers", the last line of which literally being "Advance!
Advance! Enter!"
\_ This is better than the Miniskirt Police of Japan, and this is real.

10/1 google wave is a really fancy version of wall. i can pipe
giant ascii text files through it. my dream has come true.
does anyone remember when jwang made it so if you walled
embedded html tags, it would appear in the csua lwall www page?
google wave is a little better than that. - danh
\_ http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/09/google-wave-is-easier-to-understand-than
Google wave is as easy to understand as Sarah Palin
\_ http://whatever.scalzi.com/2009/10/01/google-wave-early-impressions
\_ http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/10/02/video-3-5-of-google-wave-explained
Awesome video what a GWave is.
\_ So is there a crusty csuaer wave?
\_ lets make one when Wave is totally public. Politburo has
successfully driven just about everyone off of soda now through
the VM and security holes. I'm not mad at the VP, I realize school
is time intensive. I like the motd though.
\_ how are you going to ensure that the Google account holder
is also a member of CSUA who signed up before?
\_ No.
\_ My point is there are a bunch of forums out there for
which you don't need to be a member of anything to join.
Most of us are already using some type of forum, whether
it is Yahoo Groups, Google Groups, or some niche
specific groups. What makes motd unique is the
membership where we can participate in some type of
UCB+sysadm+comp sci+social forum. Once you let in
a bunch of random spammers in, then motd will be no
different than a random forum on the internet.
\_ True. I really doubt anyone besides people who
have edited the motd && walled will care. I am not
concerned.
\_ Then you can leave motd and join random forums
already. Good bye. |
