10/29   Motd lawyers, help me: is it still legal for people to shove their
        flyers under my door? I'm this close to going postal on the next person
        who puts  a flyer on my doorknob.
        \_ Yes, it is.  Unless you can point me to some local city or county
           ordinance that prohibits the practice.
           \_ See, now, the point of my post was so that YOU would find the
              local or county ordinance for me. But thanks for playing.
              \_ See, now, the point of my post was that YOU did NOT ever
                 name which county or city you lived in, so answering your
                 question is absolutely impossible, unless you wanted
                 someone to go down, city-by-city, county-by-county, every
                 single public nuisance law and make an analysis.  The motd
                 response entry would then be about 50 pages long and would
                 take up several days of attorney time at my billable rate
                 of nearly 400 dollars an hour.  Tell me where to send the
                 bill, give me a $5,000 retainer, and I'll get started.
                 Until then, thanks for playing.
                 \_ How much did you bill your real client to write that stupid
                    little rant on the motd?

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.

9/4     It looks like there are some issues with wallall at the moment. Any
        plans for it getting fixed? I can run wall, but wallall just gives an
        error.
        \_ Asking questions on the motd will not get any attention from
           any undergrad. You should email politburo or perhaps csua. -ausman

4/19    Motd updater thingy seems to be broken, does anyone know why?
        If not, I will take a look later in the day. -ausman
        \_ /etc/motd.public is not getting copied into /etc/motd for a while.
           \_ Now it works and no one knows why. Strange. -ausman

2/6     Um, what happened to http://www.csua.berkeley.edu/~myname ?
        "The requested URL /~myname/ was not found on this server."
        \_ Try emailing root or politburo. I don't think that the
           undergrads use this machine anymore. -ausman
        \_ Ausman is mostly right. LDAP went down due to an expired cert and
           took down most of the rest of our stuff. It's probably a thing with

2/24    What newsreader should I use on soda?
        \_ USENIX? You serious? Everyone switched to RSS.
           \_ I think you mean usenet not usenix.  usenet was generally much
              better than blogs / rss (cf. comp.lang.c, comp.lang.perl,
              the usenet oracle, alt.* with digg, slashdot, etc.)
           link:reader.google.com is the best
