mircea_popescu: by now it's a 5 year old thing, if they were gonna do something about it they've had done by now.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: one of those "not going to find anything" things that experience shows would make a fine first article on your putative blog.
mircea_popescu: you have a reasonably fresh list of respondent boxes, feed them 0x32 at offset 0x47f then poll in 5 and 500 seconds see if they're up.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: incidentally Framedragger , how about a survey of response to intel's magic byte ?
mircea_popescu: "independents" all appear to be varying degrees of "serials filed off" ; mostly realtek's
mircea_popescu: yeah. and i meant, "probably a realtek clone made in south korea".
mircea_popescu: there's also adm8515 from "davicom" apparently still in production
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform apparently most usb dongles use something called asix for a chipset
mircea_popescu: 3com ; nvidia apparently makes them too ; something called marvell
mircea_popescu: in short, to codify years of extand practice, the "how to participate in the affairs" actually has a lot of bite. one who isn't a citizen has no rights. his complaints have no standing, whatever their content ; and no redress is available.
mircea_popescu: de-titling of the kulaks, as it were. nobody may hold title to any property, nor be entitled to equitable redress of any claim, unless they are a person, as this is defined.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, a comprehensive counter-imperial offensive will include measures meaningful to it, in its own terms.
mircea_popescu: ie, "we don't need lords - here's robotic replacement our bureaucrats devised"
mircea_popescu: in general title, and the concept of law, is an instrument of monarchy directed against the peerage.
mircea_popescu: mno. conversion, such as through theft, or mere possession, give no title in either law or equity.
mircea_popescu: it's not just "the right to vote" that goes away upon review and limitation of the franchise. derps simply can't hold property, whether they be "the government of the united states" or "jane doe".
mircea_popescu: anyway. the concept of "nothing to allcomers" logically extends to property on one hand ; the notion of holding property outside of a proper signature is utterly nonsensical on the other hand. however you look at things, a reversal of "progressive" innovation in legal matters is unavoidable.
mircea_popescu: eg "A note, payable to a feme covert, for a debt due to her while sole, is legally payable to the husband, and the property vests absolutely in him, and after his death, goes to his executor or administrator, and not to the wife." and other such wonders.
mircea_popescu is reading "the law of baron and femme", apropos of irradiated carrots
mircea_popescu: what exactly is "recycled" going to mean if not exactly this ?
mircea_popescu: waste of time to try and remove the N from the equation.
mircea_popescu: seeing how it takes about two hours to teach anyone to suck cock but you can't turn 99% of extant female population into fap fodder no matter what you do.
mircea_popescu: as opposed to being limited in any way by the width of K.
mircea_popescu: this way you can turn N ugly cocksuckers + K pretty whores into irl satisfaction for N*c idiots
mircea_popescu: in general the way this works is : a) you put two inch styrofoam panels on light metal rails with gloryhole ; b) you affix lcd eyeheight, and play porn on it and c) you get women lined up to service behind the wall.
mircea_popescu: if your crazy chechen cousin brought you a goat, you wouldn't want to KEEP it
mircea_popescu: and to ensure poverty for anyone involved with google, the un, etcetera.
mircea_popescu: so stuck importing utf, ntp, "open-sores-sl" etc into everything or bust
mircea_popescu: which, given that it's not 2000 anymore, they can't reproduce.
mircea_popescu: let them pay for advertising like any other wanna-be corp.
mircea_popescu: the way things currently stand, being mentioned in qntra increases the italian gdp by a significant ammount, which is unjustified by an mostly absent public interest in the affairs of the shithole.
mircea_popescu: needless to say, qntra isn't going to implement italian "supreme court" bullshit ; nor is "italy" a sovereign in any sense.
mircea_popescu: a mistake ~on the level of a c that included "automagic" memalloc.
mircea_popescu: phf i'm of the same persuasion. they should never have included "automagic" conversions.
mircea_popescu: maybe they fucked up the tools that'd show it ; but i will not believe it's gone
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform at soime point (maybe windows 95 ?) they were adding a 2 byte "bom" at beginning of all "text" files
mircea_popescu: my first was "wtf is that gunk at beginning of text file ?" "oh, windows."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the kind you push up and down the hill in a great flurry to "help with athen's defense"
mircea_popescu: used to take an expert a week to make you a new font. now it's outside of the capabilities of the us government.
mircea_popescu: phf supposedly they're going to have >100k glyphs "soon". and somebody's gonna even make glyphs for all this fucking nonsense.
mircea_popescu: still linked from, eg, w3.org page. you know the one, where they importantly whine about stupid.
mircea_popescu: then again, i dun think anyone seriously maintained any of this in a decade+, so who even knows.
mircea_popescu: latin-1 should fail on "nonprintables" or w/e they're called.
