asciilifeform: every gentoo aficionado i've ever met was an 'expatriate' from *bsd.

mircea_popescu: i must admit it sounds vaguely tempting

diametric: mircea_popescu: i actually have everything to do this

pankkake: I think you can get away with 2 months

mircea_popescu: <diametric> i wonder if I can make money body scanning people and printing them into onto cocks that I can cast with food safe silicone and make edible dickheads.

asciilifeform: pankkake: same. but it sucks telling people 'i'll get nothing useful done for the next two days, have to fix xorg'

pankkake: I like gentoo because I know I can fix it, breakages don't really bother me

diametric: i mostly just ported packages to x86_64

pankkake: I never followed the drama, but gentoo seems to be always full of it

asciilifeform: i still use it, grudgingly and with grumbling, from the lack of an equivalent alternative.

diametric: asciilifeform: yeah, but I can actually use my 3D scanner (that does full body now), and scan someones face, union it onto their own dick if they even want, and then cast it

diametric: pankkake: i used to be a gentoo dev

diametric: Panadol_: i used to be a gentoo dev

asciilifeform: when i was buying castable silicone on 'amazon', the search results included a kit named 'clone-a-willy'

diametric: i wonder if I can make money body scanning people and printing them into onto cocks that I can cast with food safe silicone and make edible dickheads.

pankkake: hehe, trying to build bitcoin is the first time I went away

asciilifeform: i also tend to lazily read the source of things while they build (gentoo crackpots unite!)

diametric: and then i forgot about it.

diametric: i actually left that web based miner running on a windows PC I never touched then

mircea_popescu: if only i knew... etc.

asciilifeform: i threw that very same web-based miner on my site for a short spell.

mircea_popescu: i had people fighting with my preconceived notions for months before i actually gave the thing a look

diametric: if only I knew..

diametric: I was sitting in my office in 2009 when I was reading about bitcoin the first time. I loaded up the crappy web based miner at the time while I read about it. I tried finding some stuff to spend it on, but the list was like, 5 pieces. The only one interesting to me was a voip provider, but it was like 10 bitcoin a month or something.

diametric: did I just see cuecat mentioned?

Diablo-D3: I forgot cuecat ever happened

pankkake: I forgot about ColdFusion. what an horrible thing

mircea_popescu: i had totally forgotten just how damned good cuecat is.

mircea_popescu: yes, well, that's unfortunate. i suppose people that wish to starve will starve.

mircea_popescu: i certainly can't see how anyone'd accept to run his business in france.

pankkake: I think that's the part that bothered me; and it's probably there for tax reasons

mircea_popescu: ok, i've not had so much fun since reading the forum digest this morn

mircea_popescu: "Many times I observed that while my team was busy in demos with other prospects, the booth babes were unable to hold the interest of these execs for the extra five minutes that I needed to get a person from our team to engage. I had no such trouble with the other ladies since I had requested that specific soft skill."

mircea_popescu: if i ever go to the ces my booth babes will be topless

mircea_popescu: something between conversion and embezzlement i guess.

pankkake: I used to think it was to prevent people from escaping VAT

pankkake: in France we have "Abus de bien social" - I didn't find any translation for this (at least legal terms)

mircea_popescu: pankkake: I'd just buy myself things "for the company" << Well Mr. Ipswitch since everyone of my expenses are obviously for a legitimate business purpose. ( Elaine turns on water pic to water plants.)

pankkake: I wonder how colored coins can handle panics

pankkake: mircea_popescu: did you write anything on the subject of the log.b-a link? I bookmarket it, but an actual article would be nice

Duffer1: although the information would be valuable either way i suppose

pankkake: I'd just buy myself things "for the company"

pankkake: honestly, I just ask myself what I would do if I had millions coming in and no accounting

pankkake: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-01-2014#445473 <= that thing made me realize that even if the shit I still have on havelock works, most of the profits won't end up in my pocket ☝︎

pankkake: I don't know why it obsesses me either

Duffer1: i don't know why i even read that thread, it's just as stressful to me as the labcoin nonsense and i don't even own any actm

Duffer1: i don't see how actm can be successful even if they turn out to be legit

Duffer1: i hope they're successful though, i know guys that lost only 50% of their assets in labcoin because the other 50% was in actm >.<

pankkake: she tried to talk in the activemining thread, I'm afraid those guys are too far gone

mircea_popescu: can i have fries with that ?

unclehowell: I worked Maplins. Then Cyber Security in the MOD. I love tech.

Duffer1: i have like a dozen of those cats

mircea_popescu: i was keeping this as my personal private chuckle re all the ninnies with the qr codes that revolutionise w/e the fuck

unclehowell: Cheers mircea_popescu, I hear you. Yeh, I'm new to this

unclehowell: MIchael Moritz helped us. We should nail it. I hope we do.

unclehowell: I heard they used to do ads-for-access with dial up.

pankkake: I remember when I was using dialup and farming those free internets

mircea_popescu: this works sort-of well, until you end up with things like... i dunno, every show on tv being a honeypot by this approach, as well as every newspaper and most of everything else, cause they damn sure don't work for the advertised/intended purposes.

mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic i suppose his argument is chiefly "what else could it be"

unclehowell: Hey everyone. I wanted to introduce my tech startup. It's called Wave. We're planning to make internet access free using a new generation of ads-for-access. The best part is, we're doing our entire Series A investment round with Bitcoin: http://wavetele.com/layout/Pages/shares-area/beneficiaries.html ☟︎

Apocalyptic: i'm obviously not looking for a schoolbook here

pankkake: I don't really care about the intentions behind it, but it cannot achieve its stated goal

pankkake: I don't understand why they would go for Android either

mircea_popescu: i guess there's an african equivalent too

asciilifeform: me neither. but i didn't have the photo handy.

pankkake: I wouldn't list that on the worst ways to die

Duffer1: it's eyedrops i swear

nubbins`: we use CA for adhering mesh to screen frames, i've glued tools to myself on occasion

nubbins`: i think they only glue your poop chute when killing you

nubbins`: now there's a definition i can work with

nubbins`: apparently i'm considered a senior millennial

nubbins`: i'm not sure what a millennial is, offhand

nubbins`: "I write about stock markets, art markets, millennials and their money"

mircea_popescu: now that i dunno

asciilifeform: and if so, i wonder what market share of plugs this accounted for.

KRS1: One thing for sure, their articles will be filled with "like" and "ummm" and "I was like.."

Duffer1: they got the greater fool theory in there so 1/2 i suppose

mircea_popescu: i wonder what'd happen if you replaced the wsj's experts with seventeen magazine's experts for a week

Duffer1: i'm surprised that one didn't mention tulips

Apocalyptic: I hope so mircea_popescu

asciilifeform: i always thought those got burned in the thermite pit on retirement, but go figure.

TomServo: Yeah, that would be tough. Been a looong time since I used irssi/bitchx so it wasn't too bad for me.

pankkake: yeah, that's one of the reasons I need to switch to that weechat

TomServo: 256 color options in weechat baby, I'm really living over here.

nubbins`: you're all orange here, and i'm dark red

mircea_popescu: well everyone's baby blue on my thing, except me. i'm gray.

jurov: mike_c: i have you pink, too. you need to change it, sry

mircea_popescu: what color am i ?

mike_c: seriously. i want green.

pankkake: :( http://i.imgur.com/ZVGqWGP.png

mike_c: i prefer >>>>> spammy! <<<<<<<<<

mircea_popescu: mike_c i don't like that your comments eat newlines

mircea_popescu: anyway, i dun see the big deal. if this wasn;'t a problem we wouldn't need trademarks

the20year: That's kind of the point i'm making. Everything from my perspective was hammered shareprice wise when BTC went from $200>$1200

mike_c: because i don't think your roi will be better than just holding btc

mike_c: good luck. i still don't think you should be raising btc, but you should be one of the better investments on hl :)

the20year: Don't know if any rentalstarter investors are in here but i'm sending payment in 30m

mircea_popescu: i guess it has to go to shit first

KRS1: I think its advantages like that those who scoff at the 30 btc seat on the exchange fail to learn.

mike_c: i didn't want to force it though. start arbitrarily applying divs to certain months. because like, what about when a div is paid wrong? do I "fix" it? it does need to be more clear.
