4.19    this is not a troll, but a question about "clue".  Since UCI
        offers the trade-school version of cs (i.e. a class on sysadmining,
        a class on c++, java, a couple of lectures on how to use vi) would
        you argue that the average UCI ICS student has more "clue" than
        a average berkeley EECS/CS student? - paolo
        \_ what is "clue"? --jon
          \_ you havre been eaten by a grue.
           \_ The clue that can be told is not the Clue. - laotzu
                        \_ if you have to ask, you don't know
                \_ clue has nothing to do with what you learned in school. -tom
                   \_ That's silly, clue can be learned in school.
                        \_ But clue cannot be taught - it must develop on it's
                                own.
                \_ wrong.  clue has very little to do with knowledge.  -tom
           \_ What is diff btw "clue" and "Clue"?
              \_ clue == open source, Clue == commercial
                 \_ I don't get it -- is this like sendmail(.org) and
                    Sendmail, Inc.?
                    \_ oh.my.god.
                        \_ Wonder when they'll have a .god TLD and I can start
                           my own net.religion?
                \_ Clue(TM) is a trademark of Milton Bradley.
        \_ good question paolo. UCB trains you to kick ass in GRE,
           do well in grad school, and get a good position in academia.
           UCI trains you to kick ass in repetitive industrial jobs that
           pay XXXX dollars. Dropping out in UCB =~ UCI. Dropping out in
           UCI =~ dumb ass. At any rate, both schools train you to have
           clue in two very different world.
           \_ I read "UCB OS, Compiler, and Theory in 21 Days" and now I'm
              getting a Phd in Caltech!                 -ali #1 fan
        \_ Knowing how to use vi is not clue.  Knowing why & when to use vi
                is clue.  Teach that at UCI they do not.
                        \- teaching vi in this day and age is insane. --psb
                                \_ using emacs in any day and age is insane.
                                   \_ Yeah, but can vi do Towers of Hanoi?
                                   \_ ED! ED! ED is the STANDARD!  Text editor.
                           \_ teaching any editor is stupid. if you need to
                              be taught the editor, you need a new editor.
                              \_ No, you need a new clue.

8/18    Hi again, new freebsd guy here again, in bash I was able to go
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/foo/lib ./runmyapp
        I managed to do this in tcsh by using setenv in a shell script
        that setenv's the lib path and then executes $1, just wondering
        if there was a way to do it in 1 line from the cmd line as in bash?
        Thanks, btw %2c or %3c worked.  Freebsd, tcsh and vi forever!

7/24    Is dos2unix available somewhere?  Someone added all those Ctrl-M's to
        motd.public.

9/22    Gmail's "conversation feature" drives me nuts! Is there a way to
        disable that and make Gmail act like every other e-mail client on the
        planet? WTF thought this was a nice thing to have on by default?
        \_ Umm, why don't you just use another email service then...
           \_ Umm, I do, which is how I have something to compare to. I get
              mail in at least 4 places only one of which is Gmail. I

6/12    Does emacs or vi include a column paste?  I sometimes have a block
        text I want to insert horizntally next to another block/column.  This
        is common for data plotting etc.  In Microsoft Word has this, I need
        it in a Unix text editor.
        \_ Does M-x picture-mode in emacs work for you?
           \_ Yes, with the commands below, thanks.

2/21    Why don't people respect the lock on the motd put on by vi or
        emacs? Are they that paranoid about kchang's motd watching program?
        Is anyone still using motdedit?
        \_ hey I still use it.  Some people don't though.  some sneaky folks
           edit a copy of the motd offline and put it in place, not caring how

11/13   If I have a application on machine foo sending data really fast to
        an application on machine bar via TCP, and the bar applications job
        is write that to disk as fast as possible, what happens if the
        network stream is faster than the disk writes?
        \_ Look up the differences between TCP/IP flow control and
           congestion control. The answer is in front of you.
