1/26    Holy fucking shit, the commuter train derailing in LA sounds just
        like the first episode of 24!! shit we'll be lucky if we see the
        sun tomorrow!!
        \_ what's 24? I don't watch TV or listen to pop music
                \_ the number of hours in a day.
        \_ Did you catch the details?  10 dead so far, 100 injured, 5 in
           critical.  Accident caused by a suicidal man parking his car on the
                                                                    \_ SUV
           tracks.  He then jumped out at the last minute.  To start off the
           snarky comments I'll say maybe his suicidal tendencies were
           justified afterall.
           \_ you know I thought this was terrorist related, but nevermind. To
              you conservatives who think the war's making the world a better
              place (ie. emarkp), maybe we should look into the mirror before
              we start killing other people who have nothing to do with
              terrorism.
              \_ You didn't use motdedit and overwrote my post.  You're a
                 terrorist!
                 \_ it's possible to NOT use motdedit and avoid overwriting
                    posts.  dumbshit.
                    \_ I'll even claim the converse.  It is impossible to use
                       motdedit and not overwrite posts, so long as not
                       everyone is using motdedit.
                       \_ Not to put too fine a point on it, but FUCK MOTDEDIT!
                          IN THE EAR!
                       \_ Motdedit uses diff to try to merge conflicting edits.
                          If you use ME and sone non-ME user edits at the same
                          time, it will usually merge fine, and if it has a
                          problem it will let you try a manual merge.
                       \_ Wrong.  It might put your addition out of order, but
                          it won't overwrite it.
                          \_ Because motdedit is perfect and has no bugs!!
                             \_ And manual editors NEVER overwrite other
                                peoples changes!
                                \_ I'll give you a gentle hint: it's not a
                                   technology problem.
              \_ False dichotomy AND strawman.  Nice work. -emarkp
           \_ Death penalty won't do justice to that man (not that he'll
              get it.)  He deserves to be tortured first.
                \_ Fortunately for you, the current administration can
                   accomodate your wishes.

2/22    Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get into GDC this year?

        who cannot attend.

8/16    Why isn't motd.public copied to /etc/motd anymore? It still shows
        8/6. Also, what happened to motdedit?
        \_ /csua/bin/mtd is missing.  I'd write my own and stick it in
           there if I had magic permission to write to /etc/motd ,
