Since there apparently exists uncertainty and/or doubt:
The final will appear on the course web page at 5pm today.
A small number of hard copies will also be available in my office (MD
213) until 6 for those who would rather hike up here in the rain than
print it themselves.
Tomorrow at 5 bring your completed exam to Professor Seltzer's office
(MD 241). There will be food.

Remember (or maybe you don't) the night before assignment 4 was due
when I wrote and sent out a concurrent directory ops test?
Well, when I was writing it, I tested it on one of my BSD machines,
just to make sure it was going to work.
Nothing blew up then. But today I installed a new kernel on that
machine; the new kernel wasn't any good and crashed, so fsck ran when
it rebooted, and proceeded to get very upset about unexpected
filesystem inconsistencies.
Well, I ran fsck interactively, and it turned up a lot of unattached
directories, directories with bad `..' entries, directories with bad
link counts, etc.
They were all dated April 19 and had the names used by that test.
So remember: even "real" systems don't necessarily get it all right.

Final review will be tomorrow at 1 PM in MD G-125. The building will be
locked for the week-end, so remember to bring your ID so that you can get
in!

There will be a review for the final exam on Saturday, May 11 at 1 PM. The
review will take place in Maxwell-Dworkin. We have not decided on a room
yet, but we will let you know the room number as soon as we do.

As I tally it, the votes are as follows:
1 xxxxx
2 xxxx
3 xxxxx
4
5
6 xx
7 xx
As you can see, the voting was very close. I propose some kind of
compromise. Does anyone have strong (note the word _strong_) objections
to the following?:
-----
Front:
What's up?
How's life?
How's it going?
Getting out much?
Did you see that movie?
etc..
Back:
CS161.
The answer to all of life's questio
Panic: result == ENOLIFE
"I can't handle CS 161... I think I'll just die now..."
-----
Presumably the first two lines of the back would be in some elegant
font, and then the Panic line would be in some kind of terminal-looking
font, as well as the panic message.
This is an amalgamation of 1, 2, and 3, the three that got the most
votes. Yes/no?
Nick
I'd vote for an Idea 2 +Idea 3 + Jeff's quote
Front:
Computer Science 161:
The Few, The Prou
Back:
make your your girlfriend a CS161 widow,
spend more time in GDB then in bed ...
