9/17    pointless rant deleted
        \_ if you deleted all the pointless rants from the motd, would there
           be anything left? -ERic
           \_ Nothing.  I think it may be time to go back to the old
              Scorched MOTD policy until the new fucks figure out that
              you can't pick and choose what goes on the MOTD.
              Censorship sucks and it cuts both ways so a big happy
              "Fuck you!" to whoever couldn't deal with the truth about
              Billy Boy's problem with the truth.
              \_ there are usually 3 things that go on the motd -
                 announcements, random jokes, and political stuff.  I
                 don't have much of a problem with political stuff
                 unless they show a lack of intelligence and logical
                 reasoning.  You would expect Berkeley students to show
                 more in-depth reasoning than the superficial slanders
                 seen on the motd (i guess there are a lot of eecs
                 students here who don't care much about using their
                 brains for other things besides computers).  So fuck
                 you too to whoever doesn't like using their brains.
                 \_ cat /dev/brain >> /etc/motd.public
                 \_ Ok, I'll grant the other 2 things, but the Scorched MOTD
                    policy is still in effect until further notice.  This is
                    a lesson that needs to be relearned every few semesters.
                    \_ What is the Scorched MOTD policy?

9/26    I remember there was web version of the motd with search function
        (originally due to kchang ?).  The last time I used it it was hosted
        on the csua website but I can't remember its url (onset of dementia?)
        now. Can somebody plz post it, tnx.

9/4     It looks like there are some issues with wallall at the moment. Any
        plans for it getting fixed? I can run wall, but wallall just gives an
        error.
        \_ Asking questions on the motd will not get any attention from
           any undergrad. You should email politburo or perhaps csua. -ausman

4/19    Motd updater thingy seems to be broken, does anyone know why?
        If not, I will take a look later in the day. -ausman
        \_ /etc/motd.public is not getting copied into /etc/motd for a while.
           \_ Now it works and no one knows why. Strange. -ausman

2/6     Um, what happened to http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~myname ?
        "The requested URL /~myname/ was not found on this server."
        \_ Try emailing root or politburo. I don't think that the
           undergrads use this machine anymore. -ausman
        \_ Ausman is mostly right. LDAP went down due to an expired cert and
           took down most of the rest of our stuff. It's probably a thing with

2/24    What newsreader should I use on soda?
        \_ USENIX? You serious? Everyone switched to RSS.
           \_ I think you mean usenet not usenix.  usenet was generally much
              better than blogs / rss (cf. comp.lang.c, comp.lang.perl,
              the usenet oracle, alt.* with digg, slashdot, etc.)
           link:reader.google.com is the best
