See you at the game Saturday. Time: 04:12:01 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PODGE From: Can't hear the rhythm for the drums who're we playing? Time: 04:11:52 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: DEATHTONGUE From: APO Time: 04:12:20 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PODGE From: Pain and data and pain and data are we still on for harvard? :-) Time: 04:12:34 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PORTNOY From: Mark W. Eichin queensryche. "empire". Time: 04:29:02 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PORTNOY From: Mark W. Eichin I must be fried. I just went to change a bunch of __STDC__ to #if defined(__STDC__) in some code I'm hacking... and ended up changing them to #if @b(desired)(__STDC__)... Time: 04:29:15 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: DEATHTONGUE From: mm hmm... Time: 04:30:22 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: E40-008-4 From: David K Krikorian How about: #if degenerated(__STDC__) :-) Time: 04:35:46 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PODGE From: Some things, though syntactically correct, are highly suspicious when i type finger [single character] it gives me listings of people who allegedly have never logged in, with the middle initial that i typed anyone know why? Time: 04:37:00 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: E40-008-4 From: David K Krikorian Well, finger does first-name and last-name matching. I guess it does initials, too. Time: 04:37:07 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PORTNOY From: Mark W. Eichin finger looks at the "real name" to see if what you asked for matches. You're on a sipb machine, which has most of the members in the passwd file... Time: 04:37:13 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PODGE From: @huge(@i(@bold(@color(red)Big Red Zsig))) but why those, particularly? Time: 04:38:00 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PODGE From: A woman is not a pear tree i mean, these aren;'t even people who really have never logged in and it does this everywhere, i noticed it when i was dialed up from my computer at home Time: 04:40:14 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: E40-008-4 From: David K Krikorian I am on a dialup, and "finger k" matches only myself. Can you give a reproduceable example? Time: 04:40:47 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PORTNOY From: Mark W. Eichin it may vary based on machine type - finger is supplied by the vendor... Time: 04:40:37 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: DEATHTONGUE From: seems to act that way here. Time: 04:40:44 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: DEATHTONGUE From: (for people in /etc/passwd) Time: 04:41:07 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PODGE From: As far as we got from where we began ---oh, forgot to mention that; it gives these people who've allegedly dialed up, plus me. or, in your case, you. try t Time: 04:41:21 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PODGE From: Pain and data and pain and data what do you get? Time: 04:41:57 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: E40-008-4 From: David K Krikorian /usr/athena/finger is first in the standard path. Time: 04:42:15 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PORTNOY From: Mark W. Eichin but fingerd typically runs /usr/bin/finger or /usr/ucb/finger explicitly. Time: 04:43:38 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: FRUMIOUS-BANDERSNATCH From: ...and files to sort before I sleep... Odd. I'm on an RT, and finger l (tom yu's middle initial), finger j (my first middle initial) and finger p (my second middle initial) don't get me anything. (tom is in the passwd file...) Time: 04:43:48 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: E40-008-4 From: David K Krikorian A zwrite is a Zephyr write. A zsignature (zsig) is a Zephyr signature. Then what is a gram? (other than a unit of measure) Time: 04:44:13 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: FRUMIOUS-BANDERSNATCH From: ...and files to sort before I sleep... Sort of like a telegram. Don't know why the root. Time: 04:44:29 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: BILL-THE-CAT From: Please do not offer my God a peanut. About what most opinions expressed over zephyr are worth. Time: 04:44:38 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PORTNOY From: Mark W. Eichin :-) 'gram, short for telegram... gram* is a greek root... Time: 04:45:03 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: FRUMIOUS-BANDERSNATCH From: ...and files to sort before I sleep... Perhaps, as contrasted with telegraph, it is a tele-communication which has a physical instantiation. (at least, a telegram does...) Time: 04:45:09 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: BILL-THE-CAT From: Please do not offer my God a peanut. Certainly any opinions expressed by myself, anyway. Time: 04:45:42 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: BILL-THE-CAT From: Please do not offer my God a peanut. What about the venerable 'telewoman'. Should there be a zwoman, too? Time: 04:45:53 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PORTNOY From: Mark W. Eichin zbabes? Time: 04:45:55 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: FRUMIOUS-BANDERSNATCH From: ...and files to sort before I sleep... What telewoman? Time: 04:46:10 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: FRUMIOUS-BANDERSNATCH From: ...and files to sort before I sleep... Well.... there's a zsex... Time: 04:46:20 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PODGE From: A woman is not a pear tree no, no, no, mark Time: 04:46:25 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: BILL-THE-CAT From: Please do not offer my God a peanut. YOu know, the three fastest methods of communication: telephone, telegraph, and tell-a-woman. :-) Time: 04:46:45 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PODGE From: As far as we got from where we began i @i(am) going home now Time: 04:46:48 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PORTNOY From: Mark W. Eichin well, you've seen the "sipb-babes" t-shirt design, right? just an extension of that... Time: 04:46:59 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: FRUMIOUS-BANDERSNATCH From: ...and files to sort before I sleep... Um. (Jessie, will you hit him for that?) , Time: 04:47:03 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: E40-008-4 From: David K Krikorian I don't know when a Zephyr conversation last made me laugh so hard... Time: 04:47:30 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: BILL-THE-CAT From: Please do not offer my God a peanut. Hee, hee, hee. Get it? Time: 04:47:33 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PODGE From: It's St. Michael, sir; haven't you seen an archangel before? uh...no, i haven't. the sipb-babes t-shirt design? dmitri, are you advocating physical violence? for which one? Time: 04:47:50 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: BILL-THE-CAT From: Please do not offer my God a peanut. You know, telewoman, tell-a-woman...Get it? Time: 04:48:05 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: BILL-THE-CAT From: Please do not offer my God a peanut. Do I really have to explain more? Time: 04:48:07 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: FRUMIOUS-BANDERSNATCH From: ...and files to sort before I sleep... Umm. Yes. I didn't say I would do it myself. :-) gamadrid Time: 04:48:08 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PODGE From: My workstation's multitasking, but i'm not @i(@bold(yes))m gamadrid, we got it Time: 04:48:25 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PORTNOY From: Mark W. Eichin lesse. I think it was black on hotpink, on the back it said "how much are you worth?" [in reference to the "bounty" list...] I forget what the front says. I'll go dig for it... Time: 04:48:10 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: DEATHTONGUE From: I don't get it... Time: 04:48:39 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: BILL-THE-CAT From: Please do not offer my God a peanut. Okay, if you really want me to explain: It refers to the woman's tendency to gossip and talk all time. Time: 04:48:34 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: DEATHTONGUE From: hmm? Time: 04:49:00 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: BILL-THE-CAT From: Please do not offer my God a peanut. Funny, huh? Time: 04:48:47 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: DEATHTONGUE From: oh. hilarious. Time: 04:49:14 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: BILL-THE-CAT From: Please do not offer my God a peanut. Gee, I don't value my life much, do I? :-) Time: 04:49:15 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: E40-008-4 From: David K Krikorian As opposed to all of us tight-lipped men, of course. :-) Time: 04:49:22 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PODGE From: And ain't I a woman? we got it, gamadrid, we @i(got) it we were just unamused Time: 04:49:30 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: FRUMIOUS-BANDERSNATCH From: ...and files to sort before I sleep... "The woman's tendency" ??? (Jessie, tell me what you do to him. I think I'll find it terribly amusing...) Time: 04:49:40 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: BILL-THE-CAT From: Please do not offer my God a peanut. No, no, I'm sure that if you thought of it more, you'd think it was hilarious. Time: 04:50:07 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: BILL-THE-CAT From: Please do not offer my God a peanut. Careful, I might enjoy pain. ;-) Time: 04:50:13 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: E40-008-4 From: David K Krikorian Well, *I* thought it was funny. Before it was explained. Time: 04:50:16 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: FRUMIOUS-BANDERSNATCH From: ...and files to sort before I sleep... Uh. I thought of it. I also once thought of being a Christian. I find neither concept very funny. Time: 04:50:34 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PODGE From: @bold(@color(green)small green zsig) dmitri, i don't have enough energy to have this fight i am unamused and if i were a little less tired to i would be at least mildly offended and perhaps disgusted, but frankly right now i just can't @i(cope) i'm going home Time: 04:50:35 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: BILL-THE-CAT From: Please do not offer my God a peanut. Oh, come now. Christianity is _very_ funny. Time: 04:51:46 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PODGE From: Oh, so that explains the difference in our salaries re christianity: some of it. sometimes. the inquisition wasn't...the pogroms weren't...gamadrid, you should meet hafnir. bye, everyone Time: 04:52:14 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: FRUMIOUS-BANDERSNATCH From: ...and files to sort before I sleep... I will make no statements about the *humor* of a religion. I *will* say taht the prospect of me joining an organized religion is not funny. Time: 05:14:33 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: BILL-THE-CAT From: Please do not offer my God a peanut. I love finding code like this in something I haven't looked at in a while. Now _why_ was I stupid? Will this just not work, did I try to do it the wrong way? Does this make the world explode, or just fizzle out? What _was_ I thinking? #ifdef GEORGE_IS_STUPID if (rf_typelens(type) != rf_typelens(cso_vtelemtype(obj))) { tpanic("Inconsistent data sizes while spinning text."); return(2); } #endif Time: 05:15:09 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: BILL-THE-CAT From: Please do not offer my God a peanut. And most importantly, can I delete it? Time: 05:15:51 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: LOCKPICK From: ...and files to sort before I sleep... Erm. Um. Wouldn't the rest of the code help? Time: 05:15:58 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: E40-008-4 From: David K Krikorian Deleting it would imply not "GEORGE_IS_STUPID" Time: 05:16:22 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PORTNOY From: Mark W. Eichin fun games: try compiling the kernel with "notdef" defined... Time: 05:16:13 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: DEATHTONGUE From: what's that do? Time: 05:16:38 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: LOCKPICK From: ...The blowfish may be your mentor but he happens to be my dinner! NO. I don't even speak C yet. Time: 05:17:20 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: BILL-THE-CAT From: Please do not offer my God a peanut. Stan saw it and asked: "So, does it compile that section or not?" Time: 05:17:56 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: SNORKELWACKER From: Jonathon Weiss I still like #ifdef HELLFREEZE Time: 05:18:11 Date: Fri Jan 15 1993 Host: PODGE From: Please do not offer my God a peanut. I told him that my _intent_ at least was that it not be compiled.
