mircea_popescu: me to isp "turn off fucking udp altogether, it's stupid" isp to me "you'll have toi buy the trunk"
mircea_popescu: dude get out srsly. i had dedicated machinery go down because random muppet + udp.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you said yourself it's easier to filter!

mircea_popescu: ok, so could it be that the lobbesbot sees new dates decides new articles ?

mircea_popescu: there's no alternative in a "moore's law" shithole, for very good reasons.
mircea_popescu: dja see the difference between "hmm, i intuit in my urine that x86 sucks" and "lolut, 120v?
mircea_popescu: nah. one sticks around because it works. the other because it's the best alternative. you don't like either of them, it's true, but that fact does not alter the reality.
mircea_popescu: x86 makes sense. 120 volt is trivially abstracted away by two step transformers.
mircea_popescu: why's anyone's poverty, intellectual or otherwise, a criterion ?
mircea_popescu: i imagine as long as "9 volt batteries or hunt rats by candlelight" is the choice, there's going to be a lot of "9 volt" systems out there too.
mircea_popescu: lmao check it out, liberia as well. that poor country.
mircea_popescu: just because some colonies have mental issues it does not follow anything except that some colonists need to extract head from ass.

mircea_popescu: they're just broadly speaking acultural and unseflwarare enough, unlike the romans, so they don't spend three centuries waxing poetic over this understood situation

mircea_popescu: recall the thread with the sluts living there wearing "D&G" purses ?
mircea_popescu: i guess you get to see the wonder to believe the wonder then.

mircea_popescu: if you think the dispute as to how internet won't be available in the future in the us comes down to what anyone wants, usg or not usg...
mircea_popescu: usg is arguing that "olympics are bad mkay, not because we can't afford anything, but because <<<gentrification>>>".
