1/26    about 400 to 500 people log onto soda many days, yet a handful
        of people dominate discussion on the motd and wall. don't let a
        few socially inept losers among them intimidate you into thinking
        that's what csua is all about. if someone posts a rude or immature
        response on wall or motd, try to consider it anamolous. these
        \_ anomalous.  And is there any reasoning behind your hypothesis?
              \_ Are you trying to be Science Officer Spock or something?
        people are held in contempt by the vast (silent) majority of
        members.
        \_ Have you conducted a motd to _prove_ this theory?  :-)
        \_ Does anyone really take the motd that seriously? Most of the
           stuff on the motd is filled with silly comical puns for
           people to vent from a crappy day. It's not meant to serve
           as an official political forum. Just have fun and don't
           take things too seriously. Geez.
           \_ No.  People on motd and wall really are idiots, for the most
              part.
              \_ Even you?
              \_ You are anamolous!
              \_ What do you expect from socially disfunctional geeks who
                 spend most of their days in front of a computer?
                 \_ And how are they different form socially dysfunctional
                    geeks?
                    \_ They're less anal.
        \_ honest statement or troll?  You decide.
           \_ It's "IT"!! the invention that will change cities and
              make more money in its first year than any other IPO.
        \_ [Troll removed. -TheMotdBouncer]
        \_ Hey, everyone left is partipating in a serious discussion.

        Hey, good troll.  motd trolls unite!  I salute you!  -fellow troll

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.
           \_ Now it works and no one knows why. Strange. -ausman

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.)
           link:reader.google.com is the best
