\_ The end is near!
\_ It is said that flying has fewer accidents per passenger mile than
driving. What about number of accidents per passenger trip? Thx.

\_ good luck finding anti-airline statistics. The airlines
do a better job on interpreting statistics than the NRA
and tobacco industries.
\_ The anti-gun crowd is even better at misinterpreting
or flat out inventing statistics.

\_ mp3 whore! Hundreds of gigs! Free Warez! Woo hoo! divx! yes!
\_ um, I've taken 2 classes with Samuelson, Law 276.1 (digital law)
and SIMS 231 (IP Law). She's good; she knows what she doesn't
know, and sticks to teaching what she does know, and researches
what she doesn't. So open your mind you closed source fuck.
\_ Closed source? You're an idiot. Open vs. Closed source has
nothing to do with copyright law, you moron. In fact, if
you had the slightest clue you'd know the GPL _relies_ on
and _uses_ copyright law to protect GPL'd code. Fucking
dumbshit stupid loudmouth moronic geek you should go and
ask her what the GPL is for starters and then you can come
back to the motd and beg forgiveness for being so stupid
and ignorant.
\_ You forgot to take your lithium today.
\_ Maybe but at least I know wtf I'm talking about.
\_ actually, you missed the whole point. But
we expect this from the motd arguments.
\_ it would be good if we got rid of the motd.
\_ we also expect people to claim someone else
missed the point without saying what point
they were failing to get across and then
blame the reader. e190

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
