About 2 weeks ago, someone brought to my attention that our script

Apart from csua, who do you guys use? --erikred
\_ What do you want to use it for? Do you need CGI or PHP? My
brother worked for Dreamhost and said they are unethical. In
fact, he sued them. This refers to their treatment of customers
and employees both. I don't know who or what "Lifehacker" is,

code in Fremont, and AT&T customer service says I cannot transfer my
DSL service because DSL is not available at my new home. Is that BS?
Are they just trying to push me to subscribe to their more expensive
U-verse service? I'm not asking for any lightening-speed connection.

on to soda. Does that page still exist? Can someone remind me of the
URL please? Thx.
\_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
\_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet
that implemented an ssh v1 client. I think this page went away

uptimes.
\_ hardly, My winbox stays up longer.
\_ Nobody cares about uptime anymore brother, that's what web2.0 has

are Perforce and Subversion. Anyone worked with both and have good
