Danny O'Brien did a very nice Python haiku-finder based on the
CMU pronouncing dictionary. (Now you people can stop asking me
for my evil nasty Perl code that did something similar but not
nearly as well)

Python program here:

I tried it on the archives of this list, and so here is...

Tabinda, I knew
you were wicked cool. I just
didn't know how cool.

key survival traits.

No, I don't have the
DOS source code. I don't know what
you're talking about.

Situations where
formated text really is
needed: I dunno.

I finish coding,
we reopen. Thanks for the
machine by the way.

More to the point, filk
is performed to entertain

Eugene Leitl spewed forth:
Linux sucks less, but it still
sucks. All hardware sucks.

But, then, we're used to
getting "less polished" stuff here
in Colorado.

They're a school, and schools
tend to be full of adults
who think they know best.

Normally I hate
perl but it seems well-suited
for a job like this.

Sony-Betamax
did not rule on shifting to
ten million people.

Typo in last, I
meant to say: the sexpots are
on our side. --JS.

Lisp weenies whine all
the time. You too could submit
patches to Emacs.

Well, Junkbuster won't
let me view it. I'm sure it's
fascinating, though.

If it's wrong, bad or
stupid, let me just say that
I am not surprised.

You guys are making
me want to go running and
screaming from my desk.

If you'll be there, let
me know and I'll get you in
to elite events.

Jimmy Buffett, here

I knew this subject

sooner or later.

What I once said is
not necessarily my
current views, at all.

No UPS, yet. Maybe
after I've recovered from
paying for the car.

I'm sorry. I don't
follow the logic. This is
your problem, not mine.

Solaris weenies
and retards: /opt/foo should be
/usr/lib/foo dammit.

Email filtering
on the trunk lines? Ha, that's just
an urban legend.

YES, it matters. YES,
Don Marti is Mohandas
K. Gandhi on crack.

OKAY, that last one
went a little too far, but
you know what I mean.

Contract Law also
includes circumstances where
there is no Contract.

Orinoco has
by far the best range, and a
very nice driver.

Ordered a Lucent

PLUS ADDRESSES: are
they elite, or not? Depends
what you use them for.

You are not permit
access to this area
of your computer.

If everyone knows,
why are you telling them. If
they don't, you're lying.

Don Marti said: The
problem is the whole "formal
education" thing.

I tell them to get
lost (although generally
not that politely).

Evan, Aaron does
have a point: Plan 9 has a
sadly flawed licence.

I can hack on Scoop
with it. This is the shape of
the future right here.

I dunno what you're
smoking, but I would like to
have a bowl of some.

Of course this entails
trying to educate the

It's just another
rathole to dive into. It's

Compiling from source
is an adventure as well.
What crap code that is.

Dell was infected
too. "Just apply the patches"
is a fucking joke.

In any case, this
seems really off-topic for
linux-elitists.

Even if your code
doesn't bounds-check properly
StackGuard can save you.

My tolerance for
folks excuses is getting
less and less daily.

For many reasons,

Of course you can have

It crashes daily,

go back to slackware.

I noticed some mild

that was pretty rare.

Maybe that's why the

The autoconf can

Norway feels it has
