Cool. You're just a patching freak this week, ain't ya?

The above reason is exactly why I stopped using the 'default' fortune, and
switched to the 'enhanced' gfortune proggy.

gfortune
http://www.anarres.org/projects/gfortune/

Which, it should be noted, is not the same thing as this:

gfortune - An X interface to fortune
http://home.earthlink.net/~timhowe/linux/programs/gfortune.html

(May the Gods damn ALL gnome/kde developers for naming  EVERYTHING with
a 'k' or a 'g' as the first letter of their project names. Bastards.)

I was having the same issue until I re-read the manpage and re-discovered
the -S switch. (see below)

Using gfortune I can use:

- -a     Choose from all lists of maxims, both offensive and non.
- -i     Ignore case when matching regular expressions.
- -L     Set the minimum length (in characters) to num for a
       'long' fortune. (Assumes -l.)
- -N     Set the maximum length (in lines) to num for a fortune
       (normally 999).
- -S     Set the maximum length (in characters) to num for a
       'short' fortune. (Assumes -s).

So, once I started using -S

signature -p 'gfortune -o -S 184 -N 4' -t ~chiron/.template -r

I've never had an issue since. =)

Thanks for patching the Slack package tho-
You rock. =)

Of course it is.  Diskset y has always been the most important.  :)

I still want Larry Flynt for President:

"Good morning, I am your worst nightmare come true: a fabulously wealthy
pornographer with the courage and willingness to spend his last dime to
expose how you are perverting the Constitution of this great land. Now
let's get down to business."

"Fuck this court! You deprive me of the counsel of my choice! Goddamn
motherfuckers! You're nothing but nine assholes and a cunt!"

		Larry Flynt to the U.S. Supreme Court, November 9, 1983

"So move over motherfuckers! This is not the Last Supper. This is the
morning after and I am the main man. I hope you don't think I have shown
contempt for the Court. I have done my damnedest to conceal it."

Yep.  :)

I've hardly taken any days off this year, so I had loads of holiday
left.  The end result being that I'm taking most of December off to go
away with some friends & learn more C by fixing some of the easier bugs
& working my way up.  :)

Apart from that, I didn't have any problems with the original.  Thanks
for pointing it out though; I may switch to that one if I need any more
features.

They should be forced to use RedHat for a week.  That's worse than
damning.  :)

> Thanks for patching the Slack package tho-

No problem.  :)

> You rock. =)

Heh, cheers.  /me bows  :-)

I'd say you should've elected Alice Cooper when he ran for president
(I can't believe that of all people Nixon had to win that election)

my bet is that most of those devellopers already are using redhat.
or that redhat is using them :)

For signatures it is.  I have posted both the text and binariy AOLS mod
quotes to alt.binaries.misc becaue of problems with asciipr0n right
now.  Look for the ones with "AOLS" in the subject.

Vol II has 34 quotes in it right now so it will probably be another
few weeks till it gets upto a good number like Vol I which had 137
quotes.

That's stolen from Alice Cooper (Vincent Furnier).

"I'm america's worst nightmare"

Like him to. Have seen "The people vs. Larry Flint" numerous[0] times.


Elected - Alice Cooper

I'm your top prime cut of meat, I'm your choice
I wanna be elected
I'm your yankee doodle dandy in a gold Rolls Royce
I wanna be elected
Kids want a savior, don't need a fake
I wanna be elected
We're gonna rock to the rules that I make
I wanna be elected, elected, elected
I never lied to you, I've always been cool
I wanna be elected
I gotta get the vote, and I told you about school
I wanna be elected, elected, elected
Hallelujah, I wanna be elected
Everyone in the United States of America
We're gonna win this one, take the country by storm
We're gonna be elected
You and me together, young and strong
We're gonna be elected, elected, elected
Respected, selected, call collected
I wanna be elected, elected
