4/25    UCLA ee guy, I'm the UCLA cs guy. I got a brilliant idea on how to
        get each other's email without being intercepted by the motd jerks.
        You have your blue "UCLA Graduate Student Housing Options 2001-02"
        sheet? Starting at the line "We understand that finding a place..."
        map that letter to 1, 2, 3, and so on (e.g. W=1, e=2, u=3, n=4, ...).
        Then you have the entire number to alphabet mapping. With that,
        post your numbering. For example, if your login is weu@csua, then
        your login would be 1,2,3@csua. Please post your login here.
        \_ there are lots of bored, loneley, horney guys here and yet
           women post their logins repeatedly.  the harassment can't be that
           bad.  you're being a paranoid idiot.
        \_ Ok: 17,3,28,31,17,17@csua.  - ucla ee guy
        \_ 5,8,44,354,21,22,84@csua
           \_ 5=d, 8=s, 21=i, 22=n
              > cat /etc/passwd | grep '^ds..in' | cut -f 1 -d ":"
              [No output]
           \_ How does this prevent other people who also have the blue sheet
              from decoding the login?
    \_25,14,18,26,26,21,25@csua
        \_ You're a whack.  Just post your login.
        \_ just post an ad on craigslist in "Men Seeking Men"
        \_ yeah, stop being a dweeb and post your damn login. oh wait-- if
           you do, I might mail bomb you out of jealousy... better not.
        \_ Why dont you just post yours w/o waiting for ee guy?
           Better yet, let's wait until the Fall and then we'll find
           out who both of you are based on information written in the motd.

8/3     Berkeley now ranks 70, while UCLA ranks 50. Williams College
        is #1.

        \_ Forbes hates public education. A less ideologically biased ranking
           has Berkeley at 22 (which is still a fall from the golden years):

        UCLA is ranked above Berkeley. UCSD is ranked above
        Berkeley. Irvine is ranked one below Berkeley.
        Berkeley has seriously gone done in the past
        two decades. I'm not surprised.
        \_ These aren't "best schools" these are "best value" rankings.

9/26    Cal vs. Oregon:  Were you surprised? </sarcasm>
        \_ I was not surprised the Oregon scored 42 points. I was surprised
        \_ I was not surprised that Oregon scored 42 points. I was surprised
           that Cal only scored 3.
        \_ Not surprised they lost. Surprised at what a thorough ass-kicking it
           was on both sides of the ball. Cal couldn't even put up a TD.

9/23    I'm in grad school part time, and the professor I was trying to get
        to advise me just sent me "What you suggest (remote, part-time, topic
        formulation) doesn't fit my advising style..."  Does anyone know
        what "topic formulation" might mean in this context?  I come with
        funding from work, but the topics I can choose are somewhat limited.
        Could be a reference to that...

2/8     Why does UC suck so hard? I did undergrad at UCB and I hated it.
        Professors couldn't teach, class workload was high, and the system
        was designed to "weed out" students and demoralize them rather
        than teach and encourage them. I always got lower grades than I
        deserved for the amount of work I put in. I don't know if this was
        because of the curve which insists that 50% of students should get
