9/21 I joined CSUA + SODA for 2 reasons: community, and email.
Let's be honest here, why 90% joined is email alone, and 10% community.
Can we just keep the CSUA motd for helping each other? information and
technology sharing - and perhaps even social announcements? -noah
\_ can't we all just get along?
\_ fucking hippies
\_ won't someone please think of the children!
\_ Just use soda for harassing women like everyone else and
be happy with that.
\_ If you want community join a gang! CSUA is for little dicked
weenies who need some kind of stomping ground in which they
can display their superiority to other weenies.
\_ I joined it for the hot babes. Boy have I been disappointed.
\_ I'm here for the job connections.
\_ I like soda because it has all the cool things:
gifs of nekked gurlz, walls, figlets, motd flame wars,
rootcows, explosions, irc bots, high technology, gifs of
nekkid gurlz, revenge, twinks, h0zers, and gifs of nekkid
gurlz, farm animals, and b1ff.
And gifs of nekkid gurlz.
... and gifs of nekkid GUYZ
\_ Where are gifs of nekkid gurlz on soda?
\_ http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~safari/XXXjpgs
\_ Gurlz, not guyz. BTW those links are not found
anyway.
\_ http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~safari
\_ locate .gif or goto http://www.persiankitty.com
\_ Those who just want email, go to uctwink or ocf.
\_ Nice thing about soda accounts. They don't expire. -cal alum
\_ Speaking of which, where should CSUA donations be sent?
Surely some of the alums can pitch in? -soon to be cal alum

\_ Me too. But for good or bad, the MOTD has a tradition of being
used for flame wars. This is inevitable and not necessarily a bad
thing. No one has to participate. No one has to join a flame fest.
No one has to read the MOTD, just like most people don't read the
wall. My only objection re: the MOTD is people who delete someone
else's comments because they disagree with them. I feel people
should either counter-comment in a constructive way or ignore it.
\_ No, i delete them because in some people's attempt to sound
half intelligent they come up with something totally idiotic.
\_ But who are you to decide another point of view is idiotic?
If something is idiotic, it should be self evident and not
require someone to protect the rest of us from some form of
intellectual contamination.
\_ Surely someone could devise a way to make the motd append-only,
and some sort of automatic garbage collection scheme.
\_ Why bother? It's just the MOTD. You can read it or not at
will. Nothing forces you to read it. Nothing forces you to
reply to anything on it.
\_ speakin' of garbage collection, how's yer dad doing in his
new job?
\_ And then when someone lovingly posts the eye of argon or the
complete starr report, everyone is forced through a meg of
crap when they login
\_no, only the twinks who don't know to do 'touch ~/.hushlogin;
\_ CVS would be silly for this application. is PRCS
cat "more /etc/motd" >> ~/.login'
\_ FreeBSD does have append-only files. But ~mehlhaff/tmp/motd,v
is pretty useful, too...
\_ I wonder if I should document it enough for RCS newbies to
figure out... -ERic
\_ RCS/CVS sucks. They need to create a better front end.
\_ So use PRCS. And whoever has been using pico to
edit the /etc/motd, stop it damnit, pico does auto
line wrap which is really fucking goddamned annoying.
\_ CVS would be silly for this application. How is PRCS
so much better that it would justify me rewriting my
quick motd archive hack to use it instead of RCS?-ERic |
