asciilifeform: no passport, no title
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dunno where this worx, in current ro is catch22
asciilifeform: there's a reason, i guess, why eu passport is 800k.
asciilifeform: you'll find rusted tubs on the road that look like they belong in havana, owner changes hydraulic oil ~daily, but keeps the thing going , if he can't make rent he'll live in the tub, not having the tub is not option if you like eating

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: in east europistan, you can walk around ~forever with expired visas, nobody gives half a shit until/unless you try to officially register something

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i think that's only in usa
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: gotta also spraypaint yer skin, lol
asciilifeform: for comparison, ro passport was 800k or so, last i saw
asciilifeform: not as if this were serious dough to sv pantsuit.

asciilifeform: and a (nonworking) rt nic driver, and fuckknows what else.
asciilifeform: somewhere i also have a pci bus init turd, etc
asciilifeform: ave1: if you're interested, i'll post the kernel loader at some pt, but you can easily write own, exercise.
asciilifeform: ( on some x64 chips, can even get '64b unreal', but not reliable )
asciilifeform: unfortunately yer still stuck with segments, there
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2014-11-23#931766 << seealso ☝︎
