8/25    I would like to take a CS61C a year from now and my buddy is selling
        his used 61C book real cheap. I'd buy it if I knew the same book will be
        used a year from now ("Computer Organization and Design: The
        Hardware/Software Interface", 2nd edition). Does anyone have any
        insights on whether this class will continue using this book?
        \_ If that's the Hennesey and Patterson book, it's been used for a very
           long time, and it's a good reference regardless.

1/22    After looking through some old papers, there's some interesting
        history. Who is Trevor Buckingham? paolo/pollux's trevor_buckingham.txt
        is no longer accessible, and I'm curious. --t
        \_ tjb was a guy who was clearly a paranoid schizophrenic.  He did
           stuff like send mail to the President about how he was being
           persecuted.  Some people thought it was amusing, but really the

1/31    After hearing a rumor about a CS student posting angry messages to
        the course newsgroups, a little googling turned up the name
        "Trevor James Buckingham", including an elusive reference to
        TrevorBuckingham.txt.  Does anyone have a copy of this document,
        or other Buckingham lore? -jenk

3/24    I have an interview at google soon for some sort of sysadmin
        position.  The HR person said google has "the google way" of
        interviewing.  What does that mean?  Are there any google people
        here or people who have interviewed there recently on the motd?  What
        should I expect?  I'm scheduled for about 4.5 hours including lunch
        with a manager.  Thanks!

9/19    Right after I took cs61c, I sold back my copy of Computer
        Organization and Design, but I need to look up some things
        in it again.  Does anyone have a copy in good condition (no
        writing / highlighting) that they would sell?  -dlwhite
        \_ i've never understood science/engineering majors
           who sell back their books.  you knew you'd need that stuff

11/16   Trevor Buckingham strikes again!  ucb.class.cs61c titled "WHAT?".
        How do we kick him out of the major?  He's got to have violated
        some university policies with those postings.
        \_ Better to let him stay in the major. He'll be a minor PITA to
           the professors as he moves through the system, but he'd be a
           better example on the inside than litigant if thrown out.
