Shall we vote on whether to make staff members eligible to serve on the board even if they are not paying members of grex? This would help one specific staff member who is not currently earning enough to contribute monetarily to grex but is helping tremendously with his time. For example, he just killed four runaway processes at my request, and the load average is back from over 5 to under 1.51 responses total.
I support this proposal.
Oh, wait. I may not be a member in good standing, I think my dues are past-due...umm, okay I support this proposal and if it comes down to my vote being the go/no-go I can send in a check, otherwise that might need to wait a few months.
Thanks. Would this be an open election? If not, maybe you should wait and if it does not pass, pay for unicorn's membership instead.
How does one go about requesting a vote, so it can be help BEFORE unicorn's three months runs out and he can continue to be on the board?
http://www.grex.org/grexdoc/archives/votes/vote18 This is the membership vote that set up the procedure.
Apparently 10% of the membership must endorse the motion for it to be brought to a vote. Which means three more people. Or maybe someone else would just like to contribute to part of unicorn's membership for the two years of his term on the board. Or could the silly hat fund cover it? Does the board vote directly on how that is used? If so, would it be conflict of interest?
Chuck, do you want or need help with your Grex membership dues?
Are you saying Chuck wasn't eligible for theboard?
Yes, he had to be a member to serve on the board so aruba lent me the money to pay for 3 month's membership, at the last moment, so he could run for board. Chuck is very short of cash and I think lives in Flint where it is hard to find work, and he is in an obsolete field of work. What is the philosophy behind restricting board membership to paying members, but allowing staffers to volunteer their time without being paying members? We have no more than another two months to continue his membership so he can continue to serve on the board.
re #9 You're welcome to transfer my membership to him.
Can anyone tell us if it is legal to transfer memberships? Thanks for the offer, tod.
unicorn will then belong to the small but elite group that tod has transfered memberships too;)
Re #7: I may or may not need help. I would like to think that by the time the three month membership keesan paid for expires, I will have found more reliable employment than what I currently have. I really hate depending on others to cover my membership, but it may be unavoidable if things don't change soon. Thanks to everyone for the concern and help.
Thanks to you, unicorn, for the enormous effort you have put into keeping grex conferences usable.
Chuck, shut the fuck up before I driver over to Mt. Morris, Mi and fucking make you wish that you were never born.
Chad, I think it would be funny if, instead, you tried to come to Quantico and kick my ass. I can just see you talking to the MPs at the gate driving onto Camp Barrett: ``Hello. I am here to see Lt Cross; he's in B Co over at TBS. I am going to make him wish he'd never been born. I'm already wearing my purple fishnets....'' If you can make it past them and the FBI academy, then I'd say you have a shot.

Listen Cross, My cousin Jason used to be an army ranger. His fucking bicep muscles are probably still bigger than your waist. Also, you have never seen me in real lfe. All you know is what I say over the internet. And just for the record, I did take some martial arts and have some kind of weapons training. Now with that, butt the fuck out before I kick you in your small penis fucking GI boy. This is between me and Chuck Martin.
I have a cousin who was a airborne ranger too! His favorite story is that on his 101st jump, he was finally able to tell the guys that he had more jumps than his mother (which was true, she had 100 jumps)
#16 lol!
re #18 My cousin Jason used to be an army ranger. My niece sells those mint chocolate girl scout cookies. Maybe they know each other? Bring your cousin to Quantico to kick Dan's ass cuz it'd be funny to see an unqualified Army puke and a crossdresser rolling past Hooverville in their beatup Acura ready to "show their biceps" to a teufel hund. Shit Dan, time it for March when I'll be at Quantico and we can all have a laugh.
(Way, WAY too much testosterone.) (Way too little maturity.)
re #22 You're welcome to judge me for being immature. The Cyberspace Board has been way too complacent and lacking in their handling of this obvious nuisance to Cyberspace Inc. I've been knashing my teeth at the fact that it persists and people do nothing but enable his behavior. Nobody on the board has reached out to me for assistance even though I handle his type as a professional. I'm not goig to *tsk tsk* nor do any heavy lifting so long as the board shows itself as a lame duck. Why get duped for a thankless job? I'll join in on the humor and immaturity of this item since I'm just a BBS user in my capacity and have no reason to think this discussion goes any further than childish banter. "Way too little maturity." Feh!
How do you handle this as a professional?
I'd like to know that too.
I have already told you...put the gas in his car and he will drive down and kick his ass.
Brian Salcedo. Not sure that's tod's answer, but it's certainly one answer.
re #24 I don't. It's not my responsibility nor am I convinced grex considers it a big enough problem. I don't recall seeing folks harping on the grex board to act.
Regarding #22; (Way, WAY too little ability to detect humor.) (Way too much criticality.)
Oh, the "just kidding" card. Gotcha.
;-)
re #27 Actually, #26 was partially right except I was just going to drive down and help him find gainful employment so he wouldn't be bothered to entertain himself anymore.
re #23/32: think lawsuits, and vultures dropping down to feed on the carcass of your home. Kicking anyones ass is a bad idea, so forget it! Look Chad is all right and goes about his normal business, grumbling, mumbling, muttering and spitting. It's when he gets into arguments, on party, or in coop, that he flares up and really disses Agora (i checked against party).

That's quite surprising, given how common the name is and the fact that I haven't done anything publicly notable. I guess all the rest must go by "Michael"..
He doesn't know your real first name anyways, Octavian.
(It's probably moot, now, but I don't think volunteering for staff should qualify one for the Board of Directors. It's sometimes useful to have Directors who are also staff, and vice versa, but neither is really necessary for the other.)
this whole idea was thought up by keesan. how could it be a good one? if she wants chuck on the board so bad let let HER pay for his membership.
Chuck is a moron. This idiot spent 6 weeks working on some anti-flood script. It took me 6 seconds to bypass it. The moron boy chuck just said that I never really bypassed his script, I just changed my method of attack. For the record, it was the same fucking attack. I'm not god gift to Unix. Most of the abuses I carry out are based on how I observe the system. I observe what goes on, and then use my limited techical abilities to cause grief. The method is the same fucking method I used when I used to work as a Mechanical Engineer. You observe what goes on and then go "Well even though I don't know the internal mechanics, I do know that you have to take such and such steps to get from point A to point B. If I modify one of the steps, then I shouldn't be able to get from point A to point B." Usually I achieve my end results. Sometimes I don't. If I don't, it usually means that I had some kind of misconceptions to begin with. Where is this going? I'm really not that sure. And how does it relate to anything? I have no fucking idea.
And just for the record, I don't consider everyone a moron. Here is my biased perceptions on things. Bright/Brilliant: cross, remmmers, polytarp, eprom Pretty Bright (Ie I would still listen to): mcnally, krj, naftee, steve Average (Ie not dumb): lar, gelinas, trig (when he is not stoned) Dumb: unicorn, nharmon, keesan
> I observe what goes on, and then use my limited techical abilities to > cause grief. The method is the same fucking method I used when I used to > work as a Mechanical Engineer. Figures.
Nate, unlike you, I can actually abuse Grex. Unlike you, I managed to get through both k&r and APUE by the late Dr Stevens. So just shut the fuck up and go back to figuring out the differences method vs function function parameter vs function argument if if vs if else vs || pointer vs reference
I would be interested to know the difference between function parameters and function arguments.
as in i have read things like in int sum(int a , int b); , a and b are parameters but in sum(5,6) 5 and 6 are the arguments passed to sum ? is that it ? or there is more
Sholmes, you fucking stupid shit nigger. Are you having a Chuck Martin moment? Let me try to break this down for you fucking nigger ass. say I have a c function like p = (char *)malloc(x + 1); Now say we x is 5. 5 would get passed to (char *)malloc(x + 1) in malloc, we have the expression x + 1. x + 1 would be the formal parameters in this case. When we have x = 5, this becomes 6. This means x + 1 would get evaluated to 6 and passed to malloc. 6 in this case would be the actual function argument. This idea is similar when you evaluate functions in Algebra. The only difference is that CS and Math have different meanings for the word "function definition." I'm sure the no life unix dork called cross could fill in the rest.
This response has been erased.
Also, I'm using c languages definition of an expression, since like I was talking about c.
You might want to take a look at the Wiki Abhi - It's a lot clearer. Semantic mumbo-jumbo :p http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parameter_(computer_science)
Veek, next time I'll do the nharmon thing. Ie, google for an answer when I don't know the response and then paraphrase some wikipedia link. Yeah, and just for the record. That wikipedia link isn't totally correct.
Yeah, didn't you know nullop was on a first name basis with Dennis and Ken?
Actually, I do exchange emails with Dennis.
Hahahaha. Sure you do, daemon9.
You have several choices:
