        \_ kchang's archive only updates a few times a day, right?
                \_ 6 times during peak hours and twice at night. It's really
                   meant to be used as a search/engine for old entries
                   and doesn't have the quick, interactive feel of motd,v.
                   By the way entries from 1998-2003 are now posted, you can
                   check out all the stupid comments tom made
            http://csua.com/?q=tom&start=0&type=hist
            \_ Why would I want to read tom's old stupid comments when I can
               get them fresh everyday right now?  It isn't like he's ever
               changed (grown up) or anything.

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.

4/02    We use Perforce at work for revision control. It seems to work okay.
        Lately, a lot of the newer developers are saying that Perforce
        sucks and we should switch to Mercurial or Git. I have done some
        searching on the Internet and some others have this opinion. Added
        advantage is that Mercurial and Git are free. However, there would
        be some work to switch for the sysadmins and the developers.

        Is this expected to work?
        \_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address.  The IPv6 addresses you see
           in ifconfig are just link-local addresses; any IPv6-capable machine
           will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6

I ran strings on it the first time but I couldn't really see. This would only work for hosings in the middle of the night. There is a middle of the night for a machine where most of the users are in California. I'd like to see what you measure and what the numbers look like when you're done. Then everyone was creeped out, then waner made the file non-readable. I've never had such a deep look into the mind of a psychotic/stalker before. I was wondering if there is any software out there geared to handle 300 pages? She seemed pretty happe, but she also used EndNote in WordPerfect. She seemed pretty happy, but she also used EndNote to help with footnoting. I can't imagine trying to make a 100+ page document with extensive mathematical typesetting without LaTeX. However, I think it's pretty clear that the op's friend's mom is *not* writing a math book. You can do all the typing first, and then the proofing and formatting later. I've seen people wrestling with it for hours to get it to not fuck up their figure captions, and i've seen it destroy bits and pieces of documents in screwy ways. Let the publisher worry about formatting it, that's not the author's job, unless it's a "book" she'll be printing out and binding herself. I know of one journal(science) that actually lets authors submit latex manuscripts which they then actually *convert* to Word 97 for publication. Something cool, maybe with HTML+graphics, easy to use, and free. I see it as merely staving off the inevitable collapse of the western European powers. If the US economy looked like any of the major European economies, we'd already have voted all the incumbents from both parties out of office. And Israel, which has always had a weak economy and especially so since the most recent war, has an unemployment rate just slightly worse than Germany at about 11%. And these are the three strongest and best run countries in Europe. I predict economic collapse leading to anarchy in most of Europe by 2025, at the latest, if current economic and social trends continue. Too bad i can't set swapiness on XP the way they do on linux, but can you tell me how you turned it off? How did this come to mean we have to air well-tuned propaganda on our national airways? When did corporations begin to be counted as people for the purpose of free speech? If you want to go the Founding Fathers route, remember that they had no clue that we would spawn an entire industry devoted to creating need for products (and, by extension, candidates). I'm not a Communist, but I don't think you should get a bigger voice just because you make more money. What we had passed recently clearly doesn't work for a number of reasons that have been stated already. Let's put some pressure on that opening and wedge our way in. It is unlikely to be repealed, and will degrade political freedom in the US. Your reputation for being cranky, however, is beginning to make sense. Finally, signed posts lead directly to ad hominem attacks which are just pointless(see above). What is shown is those pictures is nothing more than hazing. I signed up for information as soon as I heard the news on the radio but haven't gotten anything from them. The only people who have accounts right now are Google employees, their friends, then each of them were just allowed to invite 2 more people. Until you can get an account without silly invites and it is officially out of beta, it does not exist as anything more than pre-IPO fluff and hype. One of the captions descrbies the picture as a man who was beaten to death by Americans. You don't think any of those people will become terrorists? You didn't see these guys actually mutilated on camera, did you? The US has no choice, being an occupying power they have to crack down on insurgency even if innocents are killed. It's not like troops just go around randomly killing passers-by. Do you think Saddam was nice to insurgents under his rule? Do you think ANY regime that lasted long was nice to insurgents? If you don't stomp them, insurgents tend to become revolutionaries. Nothing wrong with Saddam stomping the Shitte uprising either. Those dudes just want a Shiite dominated theocracy kind of like Taliban. The soccer stadium mass grave in Falluja is probably comparable to the Shitte mass graves now. If we hear one more time about some dimwit bitching about humiliation I say we nuke the place to glass and be done with it. After all the mass murders, gassing, rape, and other abuses from the Saddam dictatorship, these bozos are whining about humiliation and how suicide bombs and mortars are the only answer to save their precious honor? They have no honor or they would've killed Hussein decades ago. When the nail is hit right on the head quickly allude to it's possibly being a "troll" and hope nobody takes a second to read it more carefully. The correct way to respond is for op to just say "yes, it's a troll", or "no, it's not". Cameras of any kind are now banned unless explicitly authorized by the high command. The rest of us don't need to see coffins to know young Americans are dying in Iraq almost every day. These "stupid" soldiers took these pictures because they think its fun, not wrong. You bet no pictures will be taken when they actually do torture/rape them. Anytime my posts are deleted three times in a row, either by malice or by cowardly ssh'ing scumbags who refuse to use motd, I will nuke the motd. See "/csua/bin/motdwatch -h" to see how to make your own motd archive. Since almost all changes are simple non conflicting additions and subtractions, you really only need to watch often enough to catch most changes that orrur right before a nuke. Please see the description at: /csua/pub/jobs/intermediate-java-developer \_ if nothing else should, at least this should get restored. If you don't like recruiters, fine don't apply for the job. Just don't try to deprive other people of the job opportunity. The op may likely not even know the name of the company. Call it public service on my part, and I assume the OP's. Even if he does get a cut, that's one more job going to a csua'er. Better that than no cut, but the job goes to somebody else. I've often pointed friends at recruiters with just a "he's looking for X" and no additional information. Just dye his hair green, and I would hire him to star in the next Batman movie. Who cares if your shares have 1/10 the voting power of employee shares? Does it have software to detect the amount of skintone colors in the images? If they have such problems why don't they write their own search engine or just not use Google? Fortunately, for Reagan, Star Wars was only something you watch in movie theaters and he never had a chance to make such statements that would be intentionally misinterpreted. The internet didn't happen under Gore either in the sense that he made it happen nor in the joking sense that he literally created it with his mad skillz. There's a prototype of a chemical-powered laser mounted in a 747 which detects and destroys missiles. Last I heard they were planning on bringing it into production. When it was world readable people were amusing themselves giggling over some of the words emarkp was so horrified of seeing he had to have them stared out. Although the pictures coming in are not pretty, it's hardly surprising. We should do a better job of catching those who are distributing the pics since they obviously are trying to disrupt our job there. What will they do with the money so raised to make money? The original investors want liquidity, as do many of the employees. It also, if they use it correctly, minimializes the impact of a bad economy or a business downturn against their core company. I've been hoping for the past two years that he would pull a coup. John "I hate the 1st amendment" McCain got my vote in the Republican primary in 2000, but will never get it again. Nightline's name-list is obviously politically motivated--it was originally going to only air the names of troops killed since Bush announced an end to "major hostilities". We all know how many have died since it gets announced a zillion times a day on tv and in every newspaper. Both s...
