8/10 Now that we've successfully squished kchang (good job guys!) who's
going to archive the motd?
\_ why did he get squished the second time? What was the official
reason?
\_ He was fingering soda more than once a second for his motd
archive. He stopped after being warned but was squished
nevertheless because some people don't like him.
\_ I guess he was on probation?
\_ I got my UCLINK account suspended for fingering four
of my friends every 10 MINUTES. So, the bar isn't all
that high.
\_ rumor has it that he tried to bring down the entire
http://berkeley.edu pipeline by fingering motd@csua.berkeley.edu
\_ Even if he didn't, squishing kchang was still the right
thing to do. He has harrassed soda users and employed
scripts of motd destruction in the past, and we can't
afford to let such hosers get another chance.
\_ hello tom
\_ i'm !tom - if you don't get it yet, it's a joke
\- kchang seems like a pretty smart guy, if he seriously
wanted to bring down the network why would he use
a lame "while 1 {finger motd}" script instead of
more sophisticated methods? If the fingers don't
fit, you must acquit.
\_ Many alumni, however, do have the resolve and fortitude
to act against this threat. The Politburo has not lived
up to its responsibilities, so we will rise to ours.
All the years of deceit and cruelty have now reached
an end.
\_ Why do you hate soda?
\_ So you're not so much advocating his squishing, as
advocating the repeal of his unsquishing? Has anyone
considered reinstating his account on a limited basis, like
in a jail or something so KAIS MOTD can work again?
\_ The cyberterrorist threat to soda and the http://berkeley.edu
domain will be diminished the moment that kchang is
permanently squished. Should enemies strike soda,
they would be attempting to shift our attention with
panic and weaken our morale with fear. In this, they
would fail. They and all who have aided them will face
fearful consequences. We are now acting because the
risks of inaction would be far greater.
\_ DIGITAL PEARL HARBOR!!!
\_ A jail... yeah, that could work. We must interrogate
kchang so that we may better understand the threat.
Where can we keep him that's outside UC jurisdiction?
\_ motd archives suck
\_ No, MOTD archives do not suck. They let me check on
answers to questions and past links without having to
be by a networked PC every 30 minutes while some dipshit
deletes everything in sight, or some idiotic 5,000 line
"Bush-sucks-no-Kerry-sucks" thread scrolls by. -John
\_ so you're the jerk who deletes them
\_ Who cares?! Let's just keep squishing anyone else unpopular until
everyone here agrees with us on everything!
\_ it has nothing to do with popularity. It has to do with him
bouncing fingers off an EECS machine and pissing off the
department. (If that's really what he was squished for). -tom
\_ agreed! Who's our next target? ilyas? partha?
\_ Hozers like these, and their erratic "associates", constitute
an axis of evil.
\_ Whoa! Am I like notorious now? -- ilyas
\_ Does this look familiar?
"Now, shadowy networks of individuals can bring great chaos
and suffering to our motd.public file for less than it costs
to purchase a single tank. The United CSUA can no longer
solely rely on a reactive posture as we have in the past.
We cannot let our enemies strike first. As a matter of
common sense and self-defense, CSUA will act against such
emerging threats before they are fully formed. The purpose
of our preemptive actions will always be to eliminate a
specific threat to our precious motd, our allies and friends.
The reasons for our actions will be clear, the force
measured, and the cause just."
\_ soda crashed two or three times in the last couple weeks.
I support kchang's squishing!
\_ Wheee! Thanks for the laugh.
\_ I for one do think kchang did a good job of archiving the
motd. It's good to see that someone's willing to do some work
to make my csua stay a little amuzing. too bad csua didn't like
his finger. ;) |
