danielpbarron: I doubt it very much, since the city of Jerusalem is literally God
danielpbarron: i'm not worried about Israel -- God will do as he pleases
decimation: danielpbarron: I'm not accusing you of anything - I am just tired of nominal Christians in the us kowtowing to Israel
danielpbarron: how could I know such a thing?
decimation: therefore I am dubious that folk would be able to differentiate
decimation: these days I doubt you would find much difference between 'mainstream' Christianity and 'mainstream' Judaism
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> (for the ethnowank aficionados, it is generally thought that limonov was a 'paper' jew - i.e. signed on as one to get visa to usa) << In the middle West you get plastic jews, people who undergoe trans ethnicism for lawyer jobs
asciilifeform: herr l. is near the top of my list of rich'n'famous folks i'd personally enjoy seeing in here.
asciilifeform: (for the ethnowank aficionados, it is generally thought that limonov was a 'paper' jew - i.e. signed on as one to get visa to usa)
BingoBoingo: I mean the french can do it well, just when we have aspiring diesel that would suppose "Freedom Fries"
decimation: I quite enjoy a good mortadella
decimation: I look forward to the next regime change in the us so that the 'anti-communists' can be named
danielpbarron: i'm not sure what that means, decimation
decimation: I don't get the jews. why do they care about jews? They are just a small subset of europeans among the unwashed masses of europeans
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The differentiation is indeed difficult. I dunno that his flavor exists in the new DSM V
asciilifeform: i have often direly envied the man his schizophrenia - or acting skills, as the case may be.
decimation: yeah I remember that sussman quote, it is depressing
decimation: I remember trying hypercard in school, but I was introduced too late - didn't understand why it was more compelling than hypertext
asciilifeform: (i haven't any for it. i actually associate the environment it ran on with school, which was a misery)
decimation: I used hp-48gx in high school
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I tended to like it because in Highschool I had Hypercard, a giant TI-89, ot Compaq dos
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: virtually none of my readers showed any signs of liking it for the same reason i did.
BingoBoingo: I fully endorse hypercard
Duffer1: oh damn i'm sure those "i am darren wilson" bracelets didn't help the situation much lol
Duffer1: BingoBoingo, i haven't been following it, riots yet?

decimation: I would throw ddr in the trash
BingoBoingo: why it would be quite expensive today - i'll leave as an exercise for anyone still awake. << People who could make it, exceedingly expensive today if hired for the task of making it.
asciilifeform: why it would be quite expensive today - i'll leave as an exercise for anyone still awake.
asciilifeform: ^ that is the kind of thing i mean by -understandable-.
kakobrekla: i know what you are saying dec.
decimation: I became depressed by dijkstra when he demonstrated how impossible it would be to fully check a simple multiplier circuit
kakobrekla: that one i could manage.
decimation: usg is the unintentional beneficiary of a great deal of "I want to make a difference" altruism
decimation: what I find inexplicable is that you find folks in the us who absolutely hate everything about usg policies, in terms of how it mismanages wealth, fails to jail criminals, etc, and yet are willing to serve the military side
asciilifeform: decimation: mp added a c) if i recall: 'kill and bury the pyramid builders, blind the architect'
decimation: I think usg inspires a fair amount of zealotry actually
BingoBoingo: In the interim my younger brother went to dental school, and... why the fuck didn't I do that...
BingoBoingo: My brother's freshman year room mate I am told had a pantent on a similar detachable keyboard arrangement.Last I check as of 2007 the VC circus had enlarged his expectation's sphincter many guages
BingoBoingo: I was inclined to think that might be the laptop's own detached
BingoBoingo: I thought he was always on longsoon now a days. I'd never seen one with a detaching keyboard though.
BingoBoingo: I wish I had the dexterity to handle clockwork in a creative way
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: Strangelove: 'Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious...service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.' Russian Ambassador: 'I must confess, you have an astonishingly good ide
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nah, I'll check out New Reno when it happens
BingoBoingo: I'm coming to terms with my car running out of value to make it worth boating across the Darien
BingoBoingo: Then there's the revenue sharing and salary cap shit in the NFL that makes me nauseous... Why should good teams have to disband their core in the same of salary caps? I have no problem with the idea that a Jeter and A Rod-less Yankee team will have Giancarlo Stanton, but salary caps a sa parity tool are even stupider in the NFL where they actually exist as most players careers end within two seasons.
BingoBoingo: Well, I like baseball because the great players have the space to make careers. Same for hockey. In the NFL though, I tend to root for players over teams and hope they survive long enough to make it over the sub-two year average career.
RagnarDanneskjol: hmm. intersting point. I can't stand pro sports
BingoBoingo: The dude was on supplemental oxygen though before he came back. Why he didn't fucking cross the street to the hospital(s) you could see on camera I will never know.
BingoBoingo: But I will admit last week's Mizzou loss, they might as well have fucking lost to Mckendree, another Alma Mater which only joined the NCAA 2 years ago, in D 2
BingoBoingo: To compensate I imagine they follow with individual grains of sand...
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i've been saving that thing so that i can ask it to be brought to my 'peine forte et dure.'
BingoBoingo is still surprised no one has bitten on the book I've listed in the orderbook
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Why must you temp me with interesting hardware at a time when I'm trying to condense necessary harware to fit onto Backpack
BingoBoingo: I know
asciilifeform: (or, last i checked, a few years ago0
BingoBoingo: So... MacIvory is kind of the first thing I've seen that makes the Mac II seem interesting
MolokoDesk: back in a while. shuffling logins and uninstalling/reinstalling deedBot. I'll spare you further details.
MolokoDesk: I may simply make the deedBot register itself.
MolokoDesk: freenode assigns the same password to every nick I register. they're all me. It's some anti-sockpuppet feature. There may be work around. I haven't looked into it deeply
kakobrekla: i was going to suggest password124
MolokoDesk: i would but I'm not sure I want to put my password in the code.
BingoBoingo: Ah, this particular municipality I'm in atm has a problem of erosion wound manholes threatening to collapse street, leaving the structures supporting manholes as tire slaughtering juggernauts.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well yeah, that second is what I mean. I dunno that the private was especially useful until the satellites accounted for relativity as they intuited time onto the manifold.
BingoBoingo: I might need to read more, but I though the whole selective availability thing was a bluff.
decimation: yeah I would believe. Also GPS is one of the few that chose a rational timebase, no leap seconds
asciilifeform: but, if i recall, wasn't, when first built.
BingoBoingo: Well, I dun see how such a machine would be useful as a networked device
BingoBoingo: Ah, more productive. I was almost going to have to posit a "spiritual" sort of use case. Machine that does i++ as fast as possible, not as useful machine but as useful monument.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: That might be on the next napkin. atm I'm kind of leaning towards the memory not of die using some heat to prevent condensation.
BingoBoingo: Ah, I'm imaging the heat exchange goes outdoors. Like in airconditioning.
dignork: dub: it's IO bound mostly, so I'd vote for indexes :)
MolokoDesk: and useable if you want to tolerate it's in-channel announcements. I'll make it terse by commenting most of those out. at that point it's ready to use.
dignork: they do have something commercial, but I did not look too close
dignork: dub: do you know of any sane alternative to wireshark? because working with <1G pcaps and re-reading the whole stupid file each time I change view filter hurts my sense of beauty
mircea_popescu: moreover i don't use so many dumb things that have annoying needs.
mircea_popescu: dub i know enough to do port forwarding for things that iwant to work,
mircea_popescu: i would guess no.
mircea_popescu: what am i doing wrong here ?
mircea_popescu: soo, trying to daisychain nat routers. the 2nd one i configured to use as static ip 192.168.0.102 which is what the upstream one would have allocated it, and then 192.168.0.1 as gateway
mats_cd03: i am yellow, so i guess i'm like a meat pie
mats_cd03: i see
thestringpuller: well i am a black man. i was just surrounded by white people all my life.
mats_cd03: i get this impression from you. perhaps i'm projecting.
mats_cd03: thestringpuller: i have an important question for you.
thestringpuller: http://i.imgur.com/aRZvMZ6.jpg

mats_cd03: who knows. i dangle
mircea_popescu: i should like to see this thing blow up sometime.
mircea_popescu: so today i learned someone came up with the following idea : take n2o4, heat. it dissociates into 2no2. put through turbine, extract work. as it cools and loses pressure n2o4 reforms. compress, cycle.
asciilifeform: i'd happily apply alchemy and astrology, if they worked.
asciilifeform: i.e. you'd have to fly him in
mircea_popescu: "can i wear my pretenses with this five dollar suit ?" "no" "wow what an EXPENSIVE suit!11"
mircea_popescu: i am unconvinced.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the fact that the eu even considered that demand, and i don't mean answer to it, but even considered it
asciilifeform: (^ what happened to that? i've no idea, ask them)
asciilifeform: i think this even came up here once. u.s. corps deliberately closing eyes to back orifices of all kinds, to avoid the red tape of subpoenas
mircea_popescu: i can almost imagine some guy in say 2035 having to interact with that.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform gotta do things to the fullest i say
