becomeircop To become an IRC operator you could be chosen by the administrator of a server. Operators are supposed to be chosen who are responsible, dedicated, knowlegable people who can represent the servers presence on the net. Helping users, and staying in SuperChat's Help channels (such as #superchat, and #cservice) is a good way to get the admins of the network to notice you.

how+do+i+make+a+bot* The best way for a beginner to write a bot is to use the scripting language of their client, such as mIRC, pIRCH, ircle, or ircII. More advanced scripters usually use Perl, C, Tcl, etc. To learn how to script in your own client, ask in a bot channel, look on a bot website, or consult your clients documentation.

howtoban Banning is a form of ridding an abusive user from your channel.  You need to be an op (see: bot, ops) to do this command.  Syntax: /mode #channel +b <user@host>  or in mIRC: /ban <nick> <number of ban you want to do.>  People usually use "3"

mp34 MPEG Layer 3 is a efficient coding technique that produce a great data reduction on audio data.  With a 44100Hz frequency coding, the original sound data from a audio CD is skrink down by a factor 12 without losing sound quality. Factors of 24 and even more still maintain a sound quality that is significantly better than what you get by just reducing the sampling rate and the resolution

net/free/open/bsd[i] OpenBSD is secure, NetBSD is portable, and FreeBSD is fast. I'm not sure where exactly BSDI fits in; probably more fast and secure than portable. (OpenBSD is actually fairly comparable to NetBSD in portability, and of the four systems, they're probably the closest, having split least recently.)

you've+got+mail The movie, "You've got mail" was okay -- it's the regular love story, but with a twist -- same as Titanic was a love story with a sinking ship, this is love, but with AOL IM's and AOL mail - where this movie streches the truth is the fact that soon as Tom Hanks hits "Send" in his email, his online gf gets the mail instantly. YEA RIGHT!  The show was "so-so", nothing special overall.
