the laser free ?

thouight clinton is a star or at least star material.
mircea_popescu: "Weclome
to

the local WMD coordinator for
the SF division. I've been working with

to kill
the nonbelievers
kanzure: fbi was concerned
that we were bioterrorists
mircea_popescu: kanzure i can't discern much from
this wall of links. can i have a
three sentence summary ?

the
time

mircea_popescu: kids do it all
the
time, "i have a professional
tennis racquet, just like agassi". it's ok for a 15yo.
mircea_popescu: this notion
that "if i pile up enough blue items
to make a bower i'll
thereby be a bower-biologist and science will frlow from me" is nonsense.
mircea_popescu: heck, i met
this chick in cairo, she lived inside a perfectly empty hole in
the ground most us solitary inmates wouldn't deem fit as a prison. she had six children.
mircea_popescu: because you don't want any or because
there's a certain amount of equipment you need before you can have children ?
kanzure: mircea_popescu: child labor is only as good as
the children
mircea_popescu: and speaking of < kanzure>
there is a certain amount of equipment you need before you can do useful biology
things << hey kanzure do you have children ?

that
the stateemnt diverges from common wisdom at
the
time.
mircea_popescu: kanzure
this jan 2009 log is entertaining. i
take it
the ongoing decade has not resulted in any "some random company needs us
to design
them some manufacturing assembly equipment. We say we'll do it cheaper (or whatever), we license it all open source and so on, make our money from it, and apply it
to what we need
to get done in our
tech-base of free stuff anyway."
shinohai: I
think
the pattern looks like
the chalk lines on
the cloth when you go
to get *fitted* for a suit
mircea_popescu: looks like
the dressed cat in
that
tom and jerry cartoon.
mircea_popescu: why would an athlete

tried
the whole "find x in
teh logz"
thing for someone once,
though it was not a matter of being lazy, it was more of my
time is worth more
than pennies
to do so.
kanzure: i was going
to pay someone
to read logs and write summaries but
they chickened out
mircea_popescu: past season, i also read a million lines.
