well. that's what it turns into if you want to accomodate people who prefer a 72 character wide message. It is in fact, one line at the top and one line at the bottom. Since I dont put all the promotional stuff into a signature that some do , I feel more than entitilede to add a tagline. They aren't always funnny, but heck, most of the sigs aren't funny either! !!
That's for sure. One of the many reasons I'll be unsubscribing. The last time I unsubscribed was because I was overworked and had no time to follow the list. This time I'll be unsubscribing because there is far too much Christian proselytizing and too little netiquette on this list, and on top of it after 5 years I'm not sure that I'm going to continue using Linux. Mac OS X on a G4 or Solaris 8 on a $1000 Sun Blade 100 is sounding mighty fine to me.
And, may I suggest ,it isn't nice to make cracks at someone who has already mentioned today that she is ready to go postal on the universe ( bloody doctors and their messing about w/ Rxs that their screwups make necessary)
Even with my additional time to peruse the list I didn't see that mention.
Huh? AIX has nothing to do with Berkeley. AIX was derived from SVR2 by IBM in 1986 long after Berkeley started developing the other major UNIX branch of 1BSD in 1978. And I don't think ACID came out of Berkeley, either, I believe it came out of Harvard (but I don't know my ACID history very well).
It WAS a tagline, okay??? I dont write em, tehy come w/ the mail proggy and like teh newest versions of Yast2 are updated mostly automagically.
I hope it's not fortune because the contributors to fortune have lost my respect if so.
Apparently you are having a bad day also , no???
It was passible, not too bad.

I believe teh guy who was lead on the IBM devwelopment team got started at Berkeley ... FWIW , Acid did start , as in was devloped ( physical chemical patentable drug ) at Harvard, but Berkeley Made teh most of it in thier heyday as genreal agitators and place for rich kids to pretend to be revolutioneries while spending pots of daddies money on pot, and other potables! Life's a beach, ya know? Get over it... <g>
