This trick is apparently possible becaus e there are several whois servers (?)
Not quite. It's because several different record types are being returned to you that match "*GOOGLE.COM*". The long ones are nameserver records for hosts in the GULLI.COM and SECZY.COM domains. There's nothing fishy about the extraaneous records - they are perfectly valid results.

no, it would be 1/10th of a pint or a litttle less than an ounce.
Seeing as there are 16 fluid ounces in a pint, one tenth of a pint would be 1.6 ounces. Who's bad at math?
yes, that's 1 shot of everclear and you're legally drunk (or damn close to it).
Um, that's my point. I said "by YOUR numbers", referring to the original poster. I was pointing out the absurdity of his claim that.90BAC meant that one's bloodstream was 90% alcohol by showing that.10BAC couldn't possibly mean that one's bloodstream was 10% alcohol.
I hope that you mean.09 since.9 would imply that 90% of your blood is now alcohol and you die somewhere around.4 or.5.
No, the BAC rating is grams of alcohol per deciliter of blood. If we fudge
the weight of alcohol and estimate it to be the same as water, then we can equate grams with cc, giving us 100 grams of alcohol to the deciliter. A rating of.10 means a tenth of a gram per deciliter, or one tenth of one percent. Even
a rating of.90 is still less than one percent.
Seeing as the average adult male has anywhere from 10 to 12 pints of blood (we'll use 10 to make the math easier), your numbers would mean that the most common legal limit (.10) is equivalent to donating a pint of blood and replacing it with a pint of pure grain alcohol! That level of BAC would do more than just make you incapable of driving a car.
I did this about a decade ago, before I abandoned Microsoft OSes entirely. I had a bunch of batch files named LS.BAT, CP.BAT, MV.BAT, etc, that did nothing more than call the MS-DOS equivalents and pass the commandline arguments off to the real command. I never used Windows/DOS enough to care about adding argument translation or anything, though. (Things like making CP.BAT accept a -r and call "xcopy" instead of "copy".) If there's a better way to do this, I don't know it, nor will it do me any good now.
Actually, it's not a feature of the OS at all; it's a feature of the hardware. You can still send a BREAK to the console of a Sun box running Solaris 8 and drop it to the OBP's "ok" prompt, thereby halting the system. With bigger Sun boxes (4800s, 6800s, etc) that have system controllers and can be broken in to domains (virtual servers in the same chassis), a BREAK will drop you to the system controller prompt, leaving the OSes on each domain up and running. (Even so, I still get the willies sending a BREAK to the 6800s that run financials for the entire University.)
Anyways, because of the fact that most Sun boxes drop to the OBP on a BREAK, we have to make sure to configure all of our DECservers (serial terminal servers turned around backwards to act as console concentrators) to not send a BREAK to all ports on a power event.
This looks very similar to GNU Stow, which a derivative of CMU Depot. By the way, we (a University right down the street from CMU) also used an internal derivative of Depot, called Parcel, but we've mostly phased that out now.

This is a valid point that I've not seen brought up, and is the reason I do not include OpenOffice in Slackware (believe me, there are a lot of requests). I'd love to be shown how I'm wrong about this.
Feel free to Google for OpenOffice's build requirements, and then follow the link to the gpc site.
Patrick is not making this up. (And why would he? The lack of an office suite in Slackware doesn't help him in any way.) While the dependency on gpc is not listed on the Build Requirements section of OpenOffice's website, a simple Google search for openoffice gpc reveals a slew of mailing list posts concerning the dependency.
Digging around will net you a patch from Debian to remove the gpc requirement..
No, it was StrongBad. Homestarrunner changes thier main page every few weeks, usually to correspond to a holiday or a new feature. Mousing over the menu options usually triggers a little animation for each item.

On NetBSD it's even briefer:

Brevity isn't the issue, though. Solaris's/bin/true is funny because it contains exactly zero lines of code. Look again; it's all comments. (Most of which are a copyright notice and legalese regarding it being proprietary AT&T source code.)

being stuck trying out those badly configured X terminals. Thought it was a shame they never worked right the whole weekend cuz it must have been a hassle bringing all that gear in...
They weren't so much badly configured, but highly abused. I know; I was one of the people running them. More equipment was stolen from the cluster than you can possibly imagine. Also, people would unplug the ethernet cables from the terminals to hook up their laptops, and never replace them, and random people would pull a handfull of cables from the Cisco 6509 in the centre of the room. Then, there were the kiddiots. People were fork-bombing the xdm/shell server all weekend, and generally trying to break the cluster as much as possible. That made for a horrible experience for the rest of the people just trying to get online.
As far as hauling it in, I didn't get to NYC until Friday evening, but the rest of the cluster crew had a hell of a time getting all that crap in there and setting it up. A good portion of the theivery happened while setup was still occuring, as well. You try setting up a 100-plus-unit computing cluster while people are just walking off with the equipment.
Hauling the gear out of there is a lot easier, though, as almost everything gets sold off on Sunday afternoon. PC X terminals, the NCD X terms, DEC VT and Dorio dumb terminals, and even a 24-port Tiger switch got sold.
Heh, I actually remember your posts to the OpenAFS lists. You're right, the server software doesn't quite work on OS X, and the Windows version is kinda dodgy. But, you only need the client software to actually access AFS-space, which works fine on both OS X and Windows. Put the server software on a couple of UNIX machines, and access the filespace from any OpenAFS-supported platform.
AFS is an NFS style implementation though, so you would have to save your files onto a special mount.
No, AFS is a global file system (a.k.a. a distributed file system). NFS shares can be mounted anywhere in your directory heirarchy, but afs space is always found under/afs. The AFS client software automatically "mounts" your home cell's filespace under/afs/<cellname>/. With a published CellServDB file (a list of other organizations' AFS servers) or the new DynRoot feature of OpenAFS (DNS record type AFSDB is used to locate a cell's cervers), you have instant, transparent access to the entirety of public AFS space, as well. Transarc's cell can be found in/afs/transarc.com, MIT's found in/afs/mit.edu, CMU's found in/afs/cmu.edu, etc. -- all completely transparently.
IPv6 won't use DNS any more than IPv4 uses DNS. In other words, Neuther IPv4 nor IPv6 "use" DNS at all. DNS is just a single mechanism for resolving hostnames to IP addresses, and vice-versa. I think what you may have meant to ask was if DNS will be used to resolve IPv6 addresses/hosts, and the answer is, at least on the Internet, yes. The RFCs for DNS have included IPv6 record types (type AAAA) for a long time, and most DNS servers support them. However, anyone is still free to use DNS, NIS/NIS+ or even/etc/hosts (or any other name-resolution service you can think of) on their own networks. Just don't expect the world to be able to see it.
I really hope that somebody'll develop a file browser for Windows kind of like this. I think I'd work a hell of a lot faster if my hard drive looked like a star-map instead of climbing a tree.
Someone already has developed a star-map file browser -- for UNIX. Check out
XCruise. Sadly, it doesn't seem to have been updated since sometime in 2000, but it runs flawlessly for me.
One would hope that any data so critical or irreplaceable that its loss would be catastrophic is backed up on-site and off-site, and has a well-designed disaster-recovery plan associated with it. No one's done it because it wouldn't have any long-term effect.
Just this past Thursday at work, we had a Verizon Wireless rep come in to demonstrate (read: sales-pitch) their new 144Kb/s wireless Aircards that transmit data over their digital network, and also function as a regular cellphone. He slipped the PCMCIA card into his laptop, plugged in an ear-bud/mic combo and used an app to make a call to the cellphone of a guy in the back of the room.
The initial connection was a bit too quiet for them to hear each other, so after tweaking the volume setting on his end, the Verizon rep offhandedly said, "Can you hear me now?"
The whole room burst into laughter for a good 30 seconds.
Hit up a Babbage's or FunCoLand (same parent company). Babbage's sells mostly new stuff, but has some used/refurbed DC stuff, and FunCoLand is primarily a used game/console store. The one near me has about a half-dozen used DCs for sale. I even got a DC keyboard at FunCoLand for $10, new in the box. The Electronics Boutiques around here seem to be dropping the DC merchandise and just selling off the remainder, though, and the local Wal*Marts have stopped carrying it completely.
not intended by neither..? that means it is intended by one of them;-) I think you mean "not intended by either slashdot or the comment

not that it matters, I agree with your point
It was a typo. It was meant to read as a neither/nor, but that damn T key is right next to the R key.
Anyways, I'm glad someone gets the point. It's not the actual link to Alterslash that I had found amusing. It was the apparent show of support for a site that effectively screen-scrapes Slashdot and repackages the content, and the fact that it was tacked on to a comment espousing a seemingly contradictory philosophy.
Stealing and repackaging someone else's content is the issue here, and is much worse than merely linking to someone else's page without credit. The link in the.sig is incidental and was just the vehicle that created the contradiction.
What is amusing about that? I have permission to link to that site.
Your link is amusing in the sense that the target of the link is a site that goes into Slashdot's "house" through its unlocked doors, takes all of the content, reformats it, and presents it it in a manner not intended by neither Slashdot not the comment posters.
In other words, the hypocracy lies in the nature of the site you link to, coupled with the fact that your link to said site is tacked on to the end of a post where you compare a website to an unlocked house, and its content to be the private property of the owner.
My website is not a store. It is more like my house. By accessing it you are trespassing on my private property. It doesn't matter
whether or not I locked the doors.
