phf: well, besson was making decade appropriate genre movies. new york new wave did
the whole androgyny in
the 80s, by
the 90s everyone else caught up. plus
there was gainsbourg paving

mircea_popescu: at
this rate it's a wonder lafond isn't wearing a gut halter. god knows his mommy did! and her mommy before her!
mircea_popescu: i'm supposed
to be impressed with some dork who ran around
threatening "to
tell" on everyone in
the schoolyard for smoking because his mommy
told him
to, oh noes, prohibition agent / hero. ffs already.
mircea_popescu: i get it, every housewife must have her dreams, but dude, notice
that your mythological avatar... GOT ROBBED ?
mircea_popescu: he was sitting in his car. He
told me
that he was impressed by
the kid's composure and
thought he's make a good field operative..."
mircea_popescu: and in lafond lulz, "I used
to work with Mister Bill, who was retired from Army Intelligence in
the early 1970s. During
the Vietnam War he
tortured Viet Cong and NVA regulars at Fort Meade—no shit. he
trained guys in field interrogations using real enemy.
This guy looked like Eliot Ness—used
to intimidate all of is coworkers just by
the way he smoked his cigarette and wore his fedora. A 13-year-old kid stuck him up while
mircea_popescu: one way
to look at
thw hole "gay rights"
thing is, "the dudes who'd rather fuck boys really belong on
their own reservation rather
than flooding
the market with dumb looking
tomboys"
mircea_popescu: Security specialist Bruce Schneier, for one, does not see any urgent need for better random numbers. Schneier helped create
the widely used Fortuna pseudorandom-number generator, and says
there are already many adequate sources. "In my world no one's worried about
this," he said. "These systems already work"
to provide secure communications when attention is paid
to all of
the other implementation details. "We have lots of pr

mircea_popescu: she wasn't even hot in any sense, dear god, any highschool in
the region could have provided
two better in
the same vein.
mircea_popescu: phf i dunno,
the eastern european name is in my head
taken over by
that piece of furniture besson was infatuated with at some point.
phf: i only saw him in
that one movie, and it's my humorous goto visual metaphor for malignant narcissism. i sometimes
think
that he's only popular in u.s. because of his funny sounding last name, kind of like zizek. like
there's a weird feedback loop between
the last name and certain kind of social eccentricity
Framedragger: (maybe because
the guy played is insuffeable,
too..)
Framedragger: nice free association:
there's a pretty lulzy but cool film called colour me kubrick. based on
tru st0ry in which
this almost-homeless alcoholic guy pretends
to be kubrick
thereby gaining respect, deals, fancy restaurant dining etc. played my malkovich, and it somehow works for me.
mircea_popescu: he's meanwhile run out of audience in
the states, was mining buenos aires recently. POETRY READING!

this *is* a bit spammy...
mircea_popescu: the net effect being
that it'd
take
three determined people a few weeks
to reconstruct $usg.project's software.
Framedragger: aha! still funny when it's done so
transparently hm
mircea_popescu: Framedragger most of
the usg corps steal foss and posture as a business strategy.
Framedragger: (ahh, maybe
the key *isn't* on
the card.. which makes it slightly less retarted; slightly)
Framedragger: google aliased dmcrypt
to $some_internal_serious_sounding_android_keyword and moved
things around...
Framedragger: but it seems
that
the encryption key is (of course) found on
the card itself (one can just dd...), in a weird 'meta' part. it's just aes 128 bit. sek00rity
Framedragger: i don't suppose anyone here has messed with android 'adopted' storage? (use sd card as internal encrypted android storage.) i'm
trying
to recover files from a half-broken 32GB sd card which has weirdo android-internal partitions and encryption.. oh god

they are fully ignorant of, among other

Then go

The kind we (as opposed

the problem isn't "founding os projects" but quite orthogonal
to
that : ustards have a significant mental problem whereby
they imagine
they will separate funding and activity.
the existence of a so called "foundation" is
the usual macula of
this sort of idiocy, much like chancre is
the mark of syphilis.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the principle espoused is sound - you want a client because you want
to control
the software ;
the application involved however who knows,.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger should be noted
that i was a lot more optimistic about open source in 2014.
a111: Logged on 2014-03-21 14:23 mircea_popescu: ReutersEmily
the real reason you want a client is
that you can
then install otr, which is a cryptographically secure plugin allowing you
to have private conversations safe from any snoops. and
that is good quality safety, not
the sort of crud normally peddled.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, anyone saw "when i want
to whistle, i whistle" ?

mircea_popescu: the notion
that loc = revenue is not unlike
the notion
that fucking is something you wanna do. it's work, let

mircea_popescu: more like comparing "ast nodes". not
the best and not
the worst measure of complexity.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless -
the argument as
to neuron count is not directly mass ; it is parts. one DOES compare
transistor counts.
