        Not that we have any students in the csUa, but what's up w/ uclink?
        \_ The system was down, yo!  Seriously though, unlink fucked up.
           Unlink go boom, mail lost, etc., etc.
           \_ No shit.  It's run by university know-nothings.  What'd everyone
              expect?  Professionally run systems?
              \_ Right, did you have a question there, or were you just
                 trying to restate the comment you are commenting on?
                 \_ It's called a comment.  Last I checked people are allowed
                    to add their own comments to the motd.  Also, a quick check
                    with your English P teacher will help you to see I wasn't
                    restating the previous comment, but was adding my opinion
                    stating for the first time that the problem is moronic and
                    unprofessional government admins.
                    \_ Yes, you are allowed to add comments to the motd.  And
                       I am allowed to add comments of my own lambasting you
                       for your comments' lack of content.  And check with
                       your English teacher, you have a dangling participle
                       in your most recent comment.
                       \_ My comment has content.  You're allowed to disagree
                          with my comment but you'd be wrong to state that
                          there isn't content.  Thanks.
                          \_ Content free comment.
        \_ "Students who are concerned that they may have missed deadlines
           or lost academic material because of the system failure are
           urged to talk to their instructors to make alternative
           arrangements." (uclink ate my homework)
           \_ Because they don't do backups.

Technique plucks rapidly evolving genes from a pathogen's genome 10 More news: 11 Jonny Moseley's back; The system has been thoroughly tested and is operating properly in the sending and receiving of e-mail. However, data corruption problems still exist from the past several days of system problems. Whether or not your mail has been affected by these problems depends upon where in the alphabet your UCLink account name falls and how you manage your e-mail: * Mailboxes starting with the letters E-I and P-Z are fully available and unaffected. New mailboxes were created for these users, and we are working on retrieving mail delivered to the former mailboxes between Thursday night (3/6) and Tuesday night (3/11). Users with a local e-mail client (like most Eudora users) who downloaded mail messages during the sporadic UCLink availability from Thursday night to Tuesday night still have those messages on their local computers. Users who read their mail directly from the server (through BearMail or similar methods) during that period will need to wait for the recovery process to return that mail to their new mailboxes. Older mail will be recovered from backups taken Thursday, March 6. We will update this site when these recoveries are completed. However, these users have already been sent a list of all mail sent to them during that period of time, and can ask the senders to resend their messages. Students who are concerned that they may have missed deadlines or lost academic material because of the system failure are urged to talk to their instructors to make alternative arrangements. We are working diligently on the recovery process and will provide an update when we have more information. We appreciate your patience and good will during this difficult time. We understand how critical e-mail is to the conduct of University business.
