9/18    I never took 172 and don't have the Sipser book. What is a good
        alternative?
        \_ the files in <DEAD>www-inst/~cs172<DEAD> are protected. Does anyone
           have the files where I can download them from? Thanks!
        \_ Papadimitrou's book is very good.  But Sipser's book is not
           bad either -- just buy it.     -- misha.
           \_ in what respect is it better than Sipser? Papadimitrou has
              two books, one is Elements of the Theory of Computation and
              the other one is Computational Complexity. Which one are you
              refering to?
                        \_ "To which are you referring?"
                           \_ "To which do you refer?"
                              \_ "What book is you tawkin' 'bout Huck?"
        \_ A good alternative to not having this book is to buy this book...
           or check it out of the library.
        \_ Nerds usually like "hopcroft and ullman" it's sufficiently
           status-generating.
           \_ in what respect is it better than Sipser?

8/30    Is wall just dead? The wallall command dies for me, muttering
        something about /var/wall/ttys not existing.
        \_ its seen a great drop in usage, though it seems mostly functional.

3/18    Why is a genuine Mac Book charger $60 when it's only $20 on eBay?
        I failed to see a difference in quality.
        \_ Why does popcorn cost so much at the movies? Why do car values
           halve the minute you take it off the lot? Why do you suddenly
           pay less when you become a senior citizen? There are economic
           reasons for just about every pricing puzzle.
