mircea_popescu: i suppose this is the original font of bureaucracy.
mircea_popescu: "The interpretation of the results of the above assignment test make me feel angry. I am not a teacher but I am confident that I can teach (in less than 15 minutes) any person smart enough to be admitted to a computer science class how to pass the above test. The results speak volumes about the utter ignorance of educators regarding the nature of human knowledge and how to acquire it. It is a tremendous act of injustic

thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: this is less of "i'm a n00b" and more of "i have no idea how economics really work and believe we should just print more money so we can fix our bad debts. Make it rain Ben Bernanke while I suck your dick."
pankkake: that's not what I meant KRS. I specifically saw it was new, but it has nothing new, and the same broken arguments were exposed before

asciilifeform: KRS|Gotyawallet: no comment. but i recommend the exercise.
asciilifeform: i still suspect that there is a large - but finite - supply of chumpatron fuel. at least of any particular variety.
asciilifeform: i mean, if you're not above scam
KRS|Gotyawallet: i need a scam..not sure what though..mass mailings is getting old
KRS|Gotyawallet: i noticed they wont even blast their offering out there, it will be something subtle like a link in a trollbox somewhere so some sucker is all juicy over btc fortunes he just plunks down his 12 btc or whatever
KRS|Gotyawallet: my problem is i have to identify each offering to find out if they've made a significant investment..on the surface, i have no idea..and its a shame these other folks dond either. ie skyminer
KRS|Gotyawallet: they were but a spec on the timeline i long forgot about that name

KRS|Gotyawallet: asciilifeform: where i used to work we got hacked and one of our servers was made part of a botnet..i tracked them down to an irc channel in the philippines..done with perl..it was pretty basic stuff but still cool to take apart. they got in because the idiots setting up the server didn't secure the /tmp directory and jboss had its admin console exposed.
asciilifeform: (i study botnets)
asciilifeform: there are people (i'm told, in sweden) who believe that nazis still run everything.
KRS|Gotyawallet: anyone have word on cyprus? that was big news a while back and I was wondering if bitcoin was of help to them.
KRS|Gotyawallet: I'm sorry mircea_popescu, when you say "this" did you mean bitcoin or the situation with Iran and all that.
KRS|Gotyawallet: thanks..gonna do some reading up on all that..i must say, some interesting times we are in.

nubbins`: pankkake: i lost on a similar one earlier this year
nubbins`: there was a big stink about a new wireless company not being allowed to open its doors because it was majority foreign-owned, but i'm not sure if there was industry-specific legislation
