3/9     I've been using Unix for about 7 years.  I have one question:
        How do you fucking exit out of emacs?
        \_ C-X C-C
           \_ uhm, no.  C-x C-c
           \_ C-x C-c
                \_ Same difference.  You never hit shift with control since
                   there are no shifted control codes in ASCII.
        \_ Ctrl-Z, kill.  loser.
        \_ File->Exit
(defun kill-emacs-without-query ()
  "Save modified buffers, kill subprocs and exit emacs *without* query --psb"
  (interactive)
  (mapcar 'process-kill-without-query (process-list))
                                                  \_ Stupid csh user, which
                                                     SUX, use type as Steve
                                                     and god intended.
                                                     \_ what's the difference?
                             which is a shitty csh script _/
                             that gets confused about things
                             like aliases, functions etc.
                             type doesn't screw up like that.
                             \_ which is a built-in command in tcsh, and it
                                seems to work fine on aliases, etc.
                                \_ what about functions? oh, I forgot, *csh
                                   doesn't have functions. Yeah, what a cool
                                   shell.
  (save-buffers-kill-emacs t))
        \_ kill -9 EMACS_PID_GOES_HERE ; /bin/rm `which emacs` ; vi
           \_ /bin/ps -auwxx | grep emacs | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2; }' |\
              xargs kill -9
                \_ you really shouldn't be using kill -9, twinks.
                   \_ I know, I was just correcting his command.
                \_ Get a real OS, save a ton of keystrokes: pkill emacs
(global-set-key "\C-x*" 'kill-emacs-without-query)
        \_ so if i just want a vi ":q!" function i can just get rid of the save
           cmd?
           \- no, then just run kill-emacs. --psb
                \_ oh yeah. so do you know why I get ".#foo" links for each
                   modified buffer when I kill-emacs?
                   \_ They are auto-save files, emacs thinks that you exited
                      by mistake and keeps those around in case you want to
                      recover them.
                      \_ yes but I disabled auto-save and I still get these
                         links, that point to my email address and shit.
                         there's nothing useful about them and I can't get
                         rid of them. Emacs reminds me of Windows.
                         \_ auto-save is a per-buffer thing, I don't think
                            it can be globally deactivated.
        \_ I've been using Unix for about 9 years.  I have one question:
           How do you fucking exit out of vi without saving?
           \_ :q! ; find / -depth -type f -name "*vi" -print | xargs rm -f
        \_ i've been using dos for 5 years  now, how do you quit out of edlin?

8/29    There was once a CSUA web page which runs an SSH client for logging
        on to soda.  Does that page still exist?  Can someone remind me of the
        URL please?  Thx.
        \_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
           \_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet
              that implemented an ssh v1 client.  I think this page went away

3/29    A friend wants a PC (no mac). She doesn't want Dell. Is there a
        good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video
        card--no game)?
        \_ As a side note: back in my Cal days more than two decades ago when
           having a 387SX made me the only person with floating-point hardware,
           most machines were custom built.

10/24  What's an easy way to see if say column 3 of a file matches a list of
       expressions in a file? Basically I want to combine "grep -f <file>"
       to store the patterns and awk's $3 ~ /(AAA|BBB|CCC)/ ... I realize
       I can do this with "egrep -f " and use regexp instead of strings, but
       was wondering if there was some magic way to do this.
       \_ UNIX has no magic. Make a shell script to produce the ask or egrep

3/12    I am curious what others think of tablets like iPad. They don't seem
        useful to me, but I use my computer for more than web browsing,
        Facebook, and Twitter. Why would I buy one instead of a laptop?
        They seem like a disabled laptop to me, but at a higher price.
        \_ You are most likely a coder.  iPad is not for coders.  They are
           what you get your non-technical friends.  Or musicians.  Look at

3/10    What email program do people in Cal CS use nowadays?  In my school days
        people used /usr/bin/mail, then RMail in emacs, then VMail in emacs.
        After my days people used Elm, Pine, Mutt (I forgot which order).  In
        my first two jobs we could tell the seniority of fellow engineers based
        on which email program they use at work, because everyone used what
        they used to use in their school years.  In my last two jobs though,

                 The only other answer I can think of is to reinstall the
                 OS from scratch on another server and do an md checksum
