ash nazg durbatuluk, ash nazg gimbatul,
ash nazg thrakatuluk agh burzum ishi krimpatul,
In the land of Mordor, where the Shadows lie,
One Ring to rule Them all, One Ring to find Them,
One Ring to bring Them all and in the Darkness bind Them,
In the land of Mordor, where the Shadows lies

ckclark (Calvin Clark):
biff = "BIFF"
This command, which turns on asynchronous mail notification,
was actually named after a dog at Berkeley.
I can confirm the origin of biff, if you're interested. Biff
was Heidi Stettner's dog, back when Heidi (and I, and Bill Joy)
were all grad students at U.C. Berkeley and the early versions
of BSD were being developed. Biff was popular among the
residents of Evans Hall, and was known for barking at the
mailman, hence the name of the command.

eichin (Mark W. Eichin):
Things I'm doing:
0) Hacking 386BSD. It works! And it already *has* networking code. It's
"most excellent" to have a PC that I can telnet to. (f @paycheck.cygnus.com)
1) actually going to IKEA? looks like next weekend. Too much work this one.
Long term...
1) get a machine up on the 44.193.xxx.xxx net. (Ok, *real* long
term...)
Lyrics:
"Lad, I don't know where ya been, but i see ya won first prize!"

Blue Skies, the Clouds, the Sun
Entice me to be one

ktazar (Kamal T Azar):
Je fais souvent ce reve etrange et penetrant
D'une femme inconnue et que j'aime, et qui m'aime
Et qui n'est, chaque fois, ni tout a fait la meme
ni tout a fait une autre, et m'aime et me comprend.
Your Lebanon is a political riddle that time tries
to solve, but my Lebanon is hills rising in splendor
towards the blue skies.

tedesco (Matthew P Tedesco):
******************************************************************************
To eventually escape from MIT, sanity more or less intact, convince
someone to give me something resembling a job that is essentially an
excuse to fool around with ships/yachts/boats all day, find a waterfront house
(shack?), stash some cash, build that dreamboat and lead an obscure
but happy life.

I heard this exchange between Baltimore Approach and a C-172 about 3pm
on March 1st. I missed the first part of the exchange, but the part I
did hear follows. The tail number has been changed to protect the
guilty...
Balto: N12345, Type of aircraft?
N12345: Cessna 172
Balto: N12345, sqwalk 54xx, cleared to enter the TCA.
N12345: I don't really want to go through the TCA, I'm going north.
I just want flight following.
Balto: Ok, N12345, resume own navigation.
N12345: What?
Balto: N12345, resume own navigation.
N12345: I don't understand.
Balto: (very slowly) R e s u m e o w n n a v i g a t i o n.
N12345: What does that mean?
Balto: It means you do the navigating.
N12345: Oh. Ok.
Balto: N12345, are you aware you're approaching R-4001?
N12345: Uh, no. That's why I want flight following.
Balto: Oh. Which way do you want to go around it?
N12345: Which way can I go?
Balto: West or east.
N12345: I'll go west.
Balto: N12345, I suggest you find I-95 and stay west of it. Ok?
N12345: Uh, ok...west of I-95. Thanks.
