mircea_popescu: so no, that slashdot, or softpedia, or whoever else was caught doing it is not some sort of exception.
mircea_popescu: the economics are simply unavoidable, 1% is "undetectable" and also utterly sufficient.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform o look at that, i even ended up with a "RunMe.exe"
mircea_popescu: my question at this point would be, PPL! Y SO SPECIAL!
mircea_popescu: and in random fuck this shit : if you're downloading a bunch of fonts and end up with a humongo pile of spurious folders because hey, people are special, the pill is find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -I file mv --backup=numbered file . (followed, probably, by for file in *; do mv "$file" `echo $file | tr ' ' '_'` ; done because special people are THAT FUCKING SPECIAL)

mircea_popescu: ahahaha wait, they're still not accepting the election results ?
mircea_popescu: can pick one of (deliver binaries, expect user to accomodate your library needs). not both.
mircea_popescu: well, standard whatever. i don't have it, they don't supply it, story ends neh ?
mircea_popescu: meh, dies because doesn't have "shared" libraries which it needs but doesn't bundle.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger pretty sure the system is 64 bit but anyway
mircea_popescu: so basically they ship binaries which don't run and all the discussion is re df.exe
mircea_popescu: ./libs/Dwarf_Fortress: 1: Syntax error: ")" unexpected << ahem
mircea_popescu: o look, bay12 (like minigame, but for dwarf fortress) does... monthly reports.

mircea_popescu: iirc first incarnation of loud imbecile with flock of followers who got publicly owned and moved to "proof of stake" as "solution"
mircea_popescu: anyway, eulora dungeons are very likely to look a lot like demise's (except programatically generated).
mircea_popescu: it also displays what was wrong with it - fucking rings of magic. get teleport ring + death/fire rings, wipe it all.
mircea_popescu: (if you teleport into solid walls you're fucked worse than death)
