3/10    Is there still a difference between US and int'l encryption on
        browsers?
        Yes.  I'm assuming you know what the difference is, but if you don't,
        I'd be glad to explain it. -dans
          \_  Maybe not.  I thought only US version is 128 bit strong
                encryption but now it seems that int'l version is also like
                that.  Does that have to do with the recent legislation?
                \_ Ah, I forgot.  Recent legislation allows companies to
                   export strong encryption on a case by case basis.  I'm
                   unfortunately not aware of the gory legal details.  What
                   you suggest sounds quite possible though. -dans
        \_ Once again we see dans mouthing off about something he knows nothing
           about....
           \_ You nuked my response to this as well as someone's followup
              comment stating that it wasn't legislation, but executive
              action, and that it hadn't gone into effect yet.  You also
              nuked my response to your asanine comment pointing out that
              1) My original reponse, that the difference still exists is
              correct and 2) I very clearly stated that I am uncertain of
              the gory legal details.  Either add something useful or piss
              off, but don't nuke useful responses. -dans

                   was better than the zero bytes here.  Did I tell you to

                         and leadership on the motd.
                         \_ Yes, and the motd has always been such a bastion
                            of maturity in this sober and reserved
                            organization. -dans
                         \_ The pig lacks a mouth. How does it eat?
                            \_ Now that you've added a mouth so the pig can
                               eat, where does the food go after it digests?
                                \_ The *real* question is: how does the user
                                  that movie did. And now that it has a
                                  mouth, what would it say with such an
                                  uncomfortable object up it's ASS??
                               \_ Thanks for answering my queries regarding
                                  the lack of mouth and where the food goes
                                  when it digests. I notice that
                                  the pig is now dead and cooked. So does
                                  that mean the guy with the head in the
                                  pig can eat his way out now?
                                   breathe?
                               \_ I also have another question, i forgot to
                                  ask before: why does the pig have an "n"
                                  for ears? I thought pigs had more pointy
                                  and large ears -- at least the one in
                                  that movie did. I did not realize pigs
                                  could talk until I saw that movie. Since
                                  this pig now has a mouth, what would it
                                  say with such an uncomfortable object up
                                  it's ASS??
                               \_ Also, thanks for answering my queries
                                  regarding the lack of mouth and where
                                  the food goes when it digests. I notice
                                  that the pig is now dead and cooked. So
                                  does that mean the guy with the head in
                                  the pig can eat his way out now?
                            \_ More importantly, where do you stick the apple
                               when you cook it?
                      \_ dans, you are truly the van gogh of our generation.
                         \_ Can I have his spare ear?
                \_ Wow, dans, you sure showed me with that ancient ascii 'art'
                   rip off.  Your lame rip off doesn't make you any less stupid
                   or ignorant.  If you spent more time on issues like the
                   problem with the treasurer or the mail spools rather than
                   posting crap to the motd and proving your manhood by signing
                   your garbage then maybe someone would have some respect for
                   you instead of pissing down your throat on the motd
                   everyday.  You reap what you sow.  By signing you show not
                   that you're a real studboy but that you take the motd too
                   seriously and are just a twit and an incompetent imbecile
                   incapable of performing the most basic duties of the office
                   you voluntarily ran for.  Do your job.  No one gives a shit
                   if you sign your filth.
                   \_ Fuck you, you twink.  Problem with treasurer: he doesn't
                      read his soda mail, and I solve this how?  Force him to
                      read his e-mail with the evil e-mail water cure torture?
                      I don't think so.  Impeach him?  Who's going to replace
                      him?  You?  Are you even eligible for the politburo?
                      Even if you are, you won't even claim responsibility for
                      your posts on the motd, so why the hell should anyone
                      expect you to be any better as treasurer?  In light of
                      the situation, mikeh and I did the best thing possible:
                      we routed around it.  Note our repeated admonitions to
                      send inquiries regarding donations to one of us, not
                      twohey.
                      Problem with the mail spools:
                      Short term answer:
                      a) I don't have root. b) machines have been the VP's
                      domain for a long time.  mikeh and the other root staff
                      do a damn good job of managing things.  I'm not going to
                      step on their toes by madly gzipping offender's
                      mailspools and dropping them in their home directories.
                      If that's the right thing to do in this situation, then
                      the root staff will do it.  It's their decision. a) if
                      there is a different solution (i.e. reducing mail
                      quotas), they'll pursue it, but, regardless, it remains
                      their decision.
                      Long term answer:
                      Get more disk.  Duh.  I'll repeat what I've said before:
                      There's talk of a soda upgrade.  Because we don't know
                      the exact kind of disk (SCSI, duh, but what kind of
                      SCSI?) we'll be using, we're not going to rush out and
                      buy a disk to solve today's mail spool problem if we
                      can't use it in new soda a month from now.  Until either
                      soda gets upgraded or we decide it's not going to
                      happen, buying a disk is out of the question.  If
                      someone has a spare disk they can donate, that might
                      help, but most of the offers we've seen have been
                      to buy or supply funds for the purchase of a disk.
                      As important to the CSUA as soda is, soda != CSUA, and
                      my job is not to baby sit it.  If you want to criticize
                      the job I've done as prez, try actually reading the
                      job description first (it's in the CSUA constitution).
                      I don't sign my posts because I believe in owning my
                      words.  I do it independent of the medium.  I suppose
                      you must have difficulty owning your words, seeing as
                      they're all shit. -dans
                      P.S. No rip-off, it's straight out of the CSUA
                      Encyclopedia.  Frankly I think the subsequent
                      discussion is damned funny.
                        \_ Have some balls.  Impeach him, give someone else the
                           opportunity to do it.  An empty office is better
                           than a do-nothing office.  As far as the CSUA
                           Constitution goes, I wrote parts of it.  I think I
                           know what it says.  Don't use a piece of paper to
                           hide your ineffective cowardess.  Stand up and do
                           the right thing.  "It's not my job!" is the lamest
                           weakest cop-out ever given. Make it your job! Those
                           who came before and will be coming after will
                           appreciate it.  Don't be another worthless resume
                           stuffing figurehead.
