book brendafdez: Well, my first computer was a Pentium 100 Mhz with 8 MB RAM that my parents bought in 1996, I stayed with that thing until 2005 or so. For many years that meant that I used DOS and Win3.11 daily bc W98 was too much for that piece of hardware. Once around 1999/2000 I borrowed from a friend a linux 
book which came with a Red Hat CD but dual booting was not an option (also the HDD was like 500 MB). It brings back memories seeing those in

 nubbins`: downside is that the

book block
 assbot: Logged on 20-03-2015 21:44:19; danielpbarron: basically anything ascii wants in 
book form, I would probably also want

book that could be misidentified as schizo by the unqualified observer
 ☟︎ nubbins`: you're supposed to soak the entire 
book block in water+glue, then press it til it's dried, then cut the hole out
 nubbins`: that is *not* how you make a secret compartment in a 
book.
 jurov: i was like okay, read it like any other 
book danielpbarron: one of the best places to get like-new Bibles is a used 
book store
 ☟︎ ascii_field: Shrugged, A New Kind of Science, and then other people chimed in with suggestions for Gray's Anatomy, The Chicago Manual of Style, and the 25-year anniversary edition of Gödel, Escher, Bach, all of them arguing that if I wanted the most important 
book, I would want their suggestions.  I scremed, "Enough!", and space just as suddenly warped back to the bookstore and the very helpful young Muslim woman behind the counter
 danielpbarron: basically anything ascii wants in 
book form, I would probably also want
 ☟︎ danielpbarron: did that 0.5.3 source ever become a 
book? maybe put that on the list of things I'd buy if enough people in pool
 nubbins`: 5th image shows the kind of corners a thousand-dollar 
book plough makes.
 nubbins`: truthfully it's the fact that all the setup work is being done for a single 
book trinque: danielpbarron: order a nodejs 
book and throw them off
 danielpbarron bets a small insurance amount on 'No' for "Amazon will deliver my 
book on time"
 gabriel_laddel: I always wonder about the people who see this sort of thing everyday but never connect the dots, how do they internally deal with actual reality? I once flipped through the 
book Dangerous Thoughts by Yuri Orlov. He claimed that in the soviet collapse people would have multiple "selves". When they would break the law that would be their "off work" I, vs. the at work I who would report such a transgression to the poli
 decimation: asciilifeform: yeah I've heard the latest scam for undergrads is to 'custom publish' a

 mircea_popescu: some people who don't own a history 
book gather on a blogspot to emit nonsense.
 ascii_field: trinque: see old 
book, 'the human zoo', for a more complete version of this hypothesis
 nubbins`: that 
book in particular is confusing, depressing, and ultimately without resolution or catharsis
 nubbins`: ^ from a 
book we published in 2013 ;0
 gabriel_laddel I'll note that I hate the perspective of the author in that 
book but liked the information he had to present.
 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform writing a 
book of actual economy in moscow 1960 was equally titanical and demoralizing. or to get back to earth : a 
book on actual psychopathology in leningrad, bout same time.
 assbot: Logged on 25-01-2015 06:53:07; asciilifeform: (satoshi did not go in for 
book-learning, it seems, esp. re: data structures, but that doesn't mean that we have to forget school)
 ascii_field: (look at the 
book catalogue then, vs. now)
 saifedean: he also wrote a mind-blowin 
book called AIDS, Inc...
 mircea_popescu: average usian has never traveled, never read a 
book in a foreign language, never fucked a woman he didn't know etc. his ideas of "isis" are necessarily a reflection of his own pen, nothing else.
 ecstaticpessimst: I havent given anyone that website, i havent added everything ive done to it yet, its like having someone read a 
book that you've only made loose scribblings on.
 trinque: mircea_popescu: I want the 
book on your life someday.
 danielpbarron: sounds like the 
book is timeless or something / probably a good investment
 adlai: gathering and interpreting actual information is a totally different story, and there's a huge amount of information that most/all human traders totally *ignore*, and that's as mike_c said - past order 
book movements
 mike_c: mm, not quite.  because order 
book could have been better than price history at times
 ☟︎ mike_c: well, I not only have a clue, i have the order 
book history :)
 ☟︎ mike_c: like what the order 
book looked like across time
 assbot: Logged on 04-03-2015 20:13:24; asciilifeform: there is even a 'rationale' document (also 
book) ready to argue with you
 sjsqd: except a history 
book is just a summary of events in most cases
 danielpbarron: thestringpuller, sure I wouldn't mind someone reading something that had already been written down; that's more like an audio 
book than a podcast
 decimation: danielpbarron: revelation is a difficult 
book.  I have no idea what that means
 mircea_popescu: they have nothing. this is proof positive that the cia is as worthless as the vassar feminist 
book club.
 mircea_popescu: trinque no, it's up there with some soi-dissant feminist derps writing a 
book on the "women in Marines history"
 thestringpuller: ^- didn't he end up eating green eggs and ham at the end of the 
book?
 decimation: the 
book has a whole chapter on the subject of defining intelligence
