(just the nth-week reminder of the Silly CS FAQ) Question 1: What are we really? Answer 1: BIT FLICKERS! Question 2: What are we doing here (DEClab)? Answer 2: We _live_ in the DECLab... (bit-flicker.) Question 3: Why do we go on? Answer 3: Because no one has shut us off yet... Question 4: What is (nil, nil)? Answer 4: Nothing really. Question 5: Is Chris Viens real? Answer 5: Not really. More like a floating point. Question 6: Does HAJ really stand for "Happiness and Joy"? Answer 6.0: No. It really stands for "Have a Jelly-bean". Answer 6.1: No. It really stands for the boolean equation "happiness AND joy". Answer 6.2: No. It really stands for "Have a Jelly-baby". Question 7: Is there a life after CS? Answer 7: The real question should be "Is there a life _with_ CS?" And the answer to both is: "Don't crush that dwarf, hand me the pliers." or "42". Question 8: What's a fun thing to do on a Saturday night? Answer 8: ....Hello, this is our answering machine. We are all in the DEClab right now, but if you would like to leave a message.... Question 9: Why does time fly by so quickly? Answer 9: Because we are the 233 Mhz model of the human kind. Most people are only a 133 or a 150 Mhz... those people that waltz into the DEClab with diskettes in their hands are running at 33mhz. Question 10: So where do we go to eat lunch? Answer 10: RATRUM RATRUM RATRUM! Question 11: Where's the 1011 1110 1110 1111? Answer 11: 1110 000 000 111 111 #x16. Question 12: What's the existential difference between XDI(sub out) and XDO(sub in)? Answer 12: The answers are up on Signorile's web-site. Question 13: What's after NULL? Answer 13: There is no life after NULL. Though in many theological circles, it is believed that NULL is actually a place which also has the name Bell labs--where the mighty C warriors come and go. Question 14: What are the top 3 CS pick-up lines: Answer 14: 1. Wanna go... er, code in the DEClab? 2. We could spend the night forking in the DEClab bathed in the monitor glow.... 3. Social schmocial... Wanna go to the DEClab? I have this cool implementation of a snowman in SRGP.... Question 15: lpr assignment5.gif a2ps assignment5.ps Answer 15: What is "a large stack of paper with stuff on the back"? Question 16: You want access? Answer 16: WE WANT THE ROOT! YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE ROOT! Son, I eat my breakfast 2 firewalls away from 500,000 thousand bored college student hackers who want to kill my process. If I don't stand on that wall, who will.... YOU?... I didn't think so. Question 17: What's the fastest way to check the weather outside from the DEClab? Answer 17: netscape http://www.boston.com/& then click on weather. Question 18: What are the top 10 reasons the DEC lab has no windows? Answer 18: 10.To prevent IPS'ers from witnessing our plots to take over the world. 9. To gaurd the secrecy of the entrances to the other dimensions that we exist. (magic closets 160B, 160C, and 160D) 8. So we can feed off the smell of each other as we spend 10+ hours straight coding, and grow stronger and closer to the intellectual collective assimilated cs spirit. 7. so those of us in the adult section (gc61 and gc60) can do whatever they want and not worry about peeping toms and spies from other project groups who want to steal our coding secrets. 6. so we can brag "I didn't see sunshine today AT ALL!" 5. So we can excercise our imagination PLAs and create our own WINDOWS!!!! 4. it's much easier to check the weather on the Internet anyways. 3. because BC wants to keep the innocent population of BC from losing their computer innocence and demanding Internet connections to their heads. 2. so no one can see that we have developed an extension to TCP/IP that works over telepathic links. I can now FTP wherever i am.... 1. protect us from outsiders seeing that this stuff is really easy thus destroying all our secret efforts towards maintaining job security.
