asciilifeform: iirc there was a mircea_popescu piece, where 'socialism creates pools of moolah that harvesters show up out of nowhere to harvest'. examples abound, even in the very same uni, e.g. in asciilifeformistan they are demolishing ~entire town and building communal flats for students, and the developers pay ~20% of the actual cost, the rest they somehow pawned off on the state of md ( while developer eating 100% of the rent . somehow this m

asciilifeform: ( in this respect it does not really differ from the rest of the 'college racket' tho )

asciilifeform: seems to me that it is moar of a 'konsoomer has come to expect!' pheature, than a moneymaker.

asciilifeform: trinque: tbh i do not know if profit or not. but they structure the finance in such a way as to make the q ~impossible to answer from outside. which suggests 'not'.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: will add that, since we forked gcc, this is in principle fixable. ( tho it wouldn't help folx struggling to build the thing under heathen gcc -- e.g. phf currently -- i expect at some point we'll be done with 'build on heathen linux' )

asciilifeform: diana_coman: you read correctly, i did not apparently touch that item

asciilifeform: the one variant that is not an option is returning variably-long strings ( this'd pull in secondarystackism . )

asciilifeform: i thought i fixed this but evidently not

asciilifeform: diana_coman: in this one, oughta replace with spaces

asciilifeform: phf: you gotta unset the typical gnat includes envir , e.g. here's asciilifeform's from 1 particular box, http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/pUeES/?raw=true ( already has an ave1 gnat ,prior to that pointed to adacore's thing )

asciilifeform: for the l0gz : http://www.loper-os.org/pub/other/libudp/udp_errata.asciilifeform.vpatch http://www.loper-os.org/pub/other/libudp/udp_errata.asciilifeform.vpatch.asciilifeform.sig .

asciilifeform reground errata & reposted, was missing chronicle entry. nao good to eat.

asciilifeform fixed mistake in the press instruction also.

asciilifeform: i'ma move this item to new-type v, eventually ( if diana_coman publishes a new-type regrind of it as part of smg , i'ma sign that and repost , or otherwise later )

asciilifeform: ..now fixed !

asciilifeform: grrrr broken sig, 1s

asciilifeform: i means specifically that 'japanese' approach. it has merit.

asciilifeform: i cant even say that i entirely dislike nicoleci's methods.. ( if her mircea_popescu apprenticeship dun work out, i bet she can find wurk packaging-the-defective-transistors-separately(tm) ... )

asciilifeform: lol respectability, when was this

asciilifeform: i used to have an aquarium, had fish that also 'escaped' just like wilson.

asciilifeform: if story is even half troo, d00d is as dumb as that general.

asciilifeform: what i dunget is, tard or not, why confess to a whore, why not say 'i'ma an accountant' if pressed.

asciilifeform: now this, yes

asciilifeform: for all i know he never saw a whore and never uttered 'big deal'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun auto-buy the deposition of the usg.whore re d00d's supposed words tho

asciilifeform: 1 version going around tardosphere is that he didn't even escape, but regularly went to tw on biznis and simply happened to be marooned there when gassing time came

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i suspect he was denominated ~100% in remotely-confiscatolade, also

asciilifeform: so , to elaborate, for n00bz, when e.g. mircea_popescu signed the genesis, it shows that he grasped it and is able to explain how it was made just as well as e.g. asciilifeform could.

asciilifeform: in principle ( and as elaborately explained by mircea_popescu in old thread i cannot just nao locate.. ) if you signed a patch -- you are willing to stand up , same as orig author, and explain wtf it does and why .

asciilifeform: mod6: it doesn't tickle me in any direction whether memorialized as 'original' author of given patch, but it does help folx to know in what order to ask questions, when they know who wrote orig versions of $item, when and why
