2/3     I just got DSL connection at home and I have this comment: IT ROCKS!!!!
        Fuck 56K modem and ISDN. DSL ROCKS!!! DSL is faster, cheaper, and
        a whole lot better than ISDN. Idiots use ISDN. Smart people use DSL.
        \_ I live in Soda Hall lab, and I have this comment: IT ROCKS!!!
           Fuck DSL, camping in soda RULES!! Direct Internet connection is
           faster, cheaper, and a whole lot better than DSL! And I can also
           check out the chicks(however scarce) in the lab too! Beat that!
        \_ No, ISDN is not stupid for everyone.  We're just lucky to live
           within a reasonable distance from a local hub (I'm assuming
           you live in Berkeley).  Although, I'm sure DSL will become a
           bit more widespread than it is today.  In the mean time ISDN
           is still some people's only viable option.
        \_ That's what people used to say about cable modem until more and
           more people using them.
           \_ Difference being cable modems is and always has been a shared
              medium. DSL is dedicated.
              \_ Well, your connection to the telco is dedicated.  Whether
                 or not they allocate sufficient bandwidth for your subnet
                 block is another question...  --dbushong
                 \_ yeah, but the ATM VC to the DSL concentrator box is
                     dedicated (yeah, technically the ATM trunk between
                     the switch in the CO and the DSL concentrator is
                     shared too).  And the network gateways are ultimately
                     a shared resource as well.  Its just easier for cable
                     modem providers to oversubscribe than DSL providers. -ERic
        \_ Ah yes, those people who are screwed because they're not
           close enough to a main office to get DSL?  Sure, those people
           are stupid too.  Duhuh...
        \_ Please, can we all get along?
        \_ Nice, aaron!  Did you happen to mention how much rent you are
           paying to live 1 block from the PacBell substation?
                \_ aaron has $$$ (and Asian chicks). No problem for him.
                  \_ You're saying he trades in Asian chicks for DSL and rent?
        \_ Hey dude, whats the bandwidth that you see going to campus?

4/02    We use Perforce at work for revision control. It seems to work okay.
        Lately, a lot of the newer developers are saying that Perforce
        sucks and we should switch to Mercurial or Git. I have done some
        searching on the Internet and some others have this opinion. Added
        advantage is that Mercurial and Git are free. However, there would
        be some work to switch for the sysadmins and the developers.

4/26    I see that soda has an ipv6 address but ipv6 traffic from this box
        doesn't actually work (ping6 <DEAD>ipv6.google.com<DEAD>, ping6 http://www.v6.facebook.com
        Is this expected to work?
        \_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address.  The IPv6 addresses you see
           in ifconfig are just link-local addresses; any IPv6-capable machine
           will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6
