3/8     As predicted in the soda motd, AMD will report a huge loss this
        quarter...http://www.news.com/News/Item/0,4,33470,00.html
        \_ what's the next prediction?
           \_ Lycos to reject USA Network's bid and stock will go up 50%.
           \_ Microsoft will GPL all their software, become a charitable
              organization, and install Richard Stallman as their new CEO.
              \_ followed a few months later by "microsoft goes out of
                 business"
           \_ Former UC Berkeley Chancellor Chang-Lin Tien will become the
              latest addition to the cast of "Friends", making his debut as
              part of a wacky love triangle between Ross and Rachel.  He'll
              later lose his part by using a special season's-end live
              espisode as a nationwide platform for speaking about his views
              on affirmative action.  You heard it here first!
              later lose his job by choosing to use a special season-ending
              live episode as a nationwide platform for speaking out on his
              views about affirmative action.  You heard it here first!
        \_ CMGI will hit 250 by 3/11 earnings date.  It will not split
           however.  Consolidation in the 125-150 level afterwards and
           take off again by next earnings date.  350-400 by the next
           earnings report.  It'll split 3:1 or 4:1 then.  I have made a
           lot of money on CMGI.  I hope you do too.
           \_ why don't you sign your name so we can report you for stock
              manipulation?
           \_ Wow -- Yahoo! Stocks message boards come to the soda motd!
                \_ I didn't like them on Yahoo! either...
           \_ Bullshit about CMGI hitting 250 by 3/11. Closed at 194. Damned
              if i am if it does. - davecw
                \_ 250 by 3/11.  I will post my name so that you can worship
                   me if I'm right.  And I will fuck off and never post about
                   stocks again on the motd if I'm wrong.  -cmgi fan
                   \_ How about you post your name right now, so that we
                      can make fun of you if you're wrong?
         \_ FTC will not allow the AOL/Netscape merger.  Sun will end up
            buying Netscape instead.

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.

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.)
