mircea_popescu: oes. The entire aircraft carrier fleet is obsolete, and is another huge waste of money." <<< aaaaactually... romania has the capacity to sink us carriers. so does israel. so does brazil
mircea_popescu: "• It spends it on a bunch of aircraft carrier groups. These are very useful for launching attacks on defenseless countries. But it is very important to keep these aircraft carriers outside of conflict zones that may involve China or Russia, or even Iran, because each of these countries has several cost-effective ways to destroy an aircraft carrier: ballistic missiles, supersonic cruise missiles and supersonic torped
mircea_popescu: they deserve to suffer for their portasins.
asciilifeform: they're pre-fucked, the notion was to slightly unfuck'em

asciilifeform: no one (tm) would ever, say, remove the idiot sea of crud
mircea_popescu: who the fuck boots them
asciilifeform: anyway prelink was supposed to solve problem of 'why linux box takes multiple minutes to boot'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform inasmuch as he steal speaks of "its money", orlov doesn't actually get the turkey dollars thing. he earnestly thinks that there is ONE kind of usdollar, and PART of that one is "wasted". whereas the situation in the field is that there's two kinds, ands the bezzle part can only be bezzled with.

jurov: and every binary that calls it gets written this addy in it
asciilifeform: and this being unusually transparent, in a cartoon way
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is a highly bizarre idiot hack nominally to 'save cycles' but really 'because ftmeade asked'
mircea_popescu: my meagre understanding of computing doesn't allow me to discern the intended meaning.
asciilifeform: where the items, having been linked dynamically, are pseudo-staticized periodically (!) by a cron job
jurov: and prelinking is writing directly to the binaries/ dynamic libs what virtual memory address are they going and which addresses can all the other depending libraries found at

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there is no legit thing called prelinking
mircea_popescu discovers that he can't rightly say what fedora even is. is it what, a distro ? some sort of centos ?

asciilifeform: nubbins`: actually ok to tx back to originating addr
nubbins`: i was a bit :0 when i did the math

asciilifeform: there are many fables where a scorpion kills a man, but is this actually possible ?

asciilifeform: was this dear old nubs?
trinque: "why does it feel good to will things into being?"
mircea_popescu: trinque shark swims to breathe tho.
mircea_popescu: (ever wondered, btw, why some men favour ugly, unattractive women ? the freudian explanation is exactly above - they seek to reunite with mother, in which case sexual appeal is a hindrance not an asset.)
trinque: why did the shark swim when it could stop?
mircea_popescu: yes, i can also these other things.
mircea_popescu: why did the man get out of bed ? he could stay in bed, regress to childhood and whatever, paint posters to show mommy.
asciilifeform: but can also these other things.
asciilifeform: and contemplating trbtronics, rather than praying to vishnu ?
mircea_popescu: ethics (ie, the mechanism to answer "what should i do") is a very severely limited science.
