But I turned it off in rc.conf...

En ligne avec Thor 2.6a.

Within several messages, hsc refers to the user as a ``jerk''. This happens if
you are using features which are only supported by some special browsers. Some
people say they are forced by their employer to use those features, and
therefor feel insulted by hsc.
As a solution, you can store the amount of your monthly payment in this
variable:
     setenv HSCSALARY 1000
After this, hsc will stop calling you a ``jerk''. Instead, it will now use the
term ``prostitute''.
