punkman: cryptome's
title entry: "DoD escaped detainee blimp with limp rudder down near Bloomsburg, PA"
kakobrekla: ba gets about half of
the 27s 2560x1440
ascii_field: how many pixels does kakobrekla need
to display #b-a ?!
kakobrekla: no, but i can live with various ipses, not with any
tn.
ascii_field: perhaps some schmuck once showed him a crapple $2k panel and he
took a crowbar
to it in disgust
ascii_field: from
this
thread i find it interesting
that mircea_popescu so strongly disbelieves in
the existence of proper lcd
ascii_field: recent ones don't even have
tubes. nothing fades.
punkman: otherwise, I don't care about
teh colors enough
punkman: I'd like a colorimeter so I can skip
the uncomfortable period when changing monitors
ascii_field: welcome
to how i feel every
time i
touch just short of anything !
mircea_popescu: i hope
they get buzzword cancer. and it'll be unoperable by definition.
ascii_field: anyway
this part is optional and only for fanatics (artists, folks who actually ~need~
to reproduce a colour)
ascii_field: or if, i suppose, significant
temperature move
ascii_field: (for what
the
two extra bits? for plugging in
the colorimeter and fine-verniering, naturally)
punkman: 8bit is fine
too, if it's actually 8
mircea_popescu: da fuck power would it save anyway
THE FUCKING
TRANSFORMER IS STILL PLUGGED IN
ascii_field: but if you'd rather suffer with consumer shit - who am i
to argue.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu:
there are precisely
two makers of 'good lcd'
mircea_popescu: i guess. i'm just not of
the mind
that
there can be such a
thing as a good lcd anyway.
jurov: but mircea_popescu wants his monitor
to do dishes
ascii_field: actually
they have measurable characteristics which
th manufacturer guarantees
mircea_popescu: just another shitty monitor from
the shitty people
that make
the shitty monitors.
ascii_field: (i have a b&w one
that is not in service currently)
mircea_popescu: but
there's nothing more in
that recomendation
than "this cheez
tastes good", is
there ? not like it's 4:3 or some shit.
ascii_field: naturally anything can 'turn out
to be a dud'
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i have 4, of 3 different
types. can comment on
the characteristics of
the particular samples.
mircea_popescu: jurov if i was looking
to buy one. but as it is, fuck it, what can he do if it
turns out
to be a dud, make
the eizo ceo do my dishes ?
mircea_popescu: exactly like i'm going
to rape
their daughters with a muskrat.
ascii_field: take it
to
the shooting range and shoot it
mircea_popescu: no, seriously. why
the fuck is a monitor
turning off by itself.
davout: stories, on fucking
twitter
BingoBoingo: Then she makes Jess a Backpage ad with a $500 minimum and shit goes
to all hell
BingoBoingo: From
the story: "So when
they finished he gave her $100. I said "jess, you selling your puss for $100??? Pussy is worth
thousands. U
Trippin"
BingoBoingo: It's my last imgur link, bunch of screencaps of
tweets now removed
jurov: we'll all know when it ends up on
trilema, with annotations
mircea_popescu: <davout> i can't wait for
this
to actually be a
thing on
TV once 3D printing is advanced enough << when i was a kid
there was a 1hour midnight show
that actually played z80
tapes
BingoBoingo: that or a
twee portland bicycle on bicycle accident
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: It's for
the cockroach-ologists
davout: i can't wait for
this
to actually be a
thing on
TV once 3D printing is advanced enough
ascii_field: and will report you,
terrorist, if you
tamper.
ascii_field: 1,001 shits and
toilet cements itself shut.
davout: trusted printing, sounds like a cool application for blawkchain
technologee
ascii_field: davout: now
there's proprietary crud in
the cartridge ~and~
the printer
that rsa
to one another.
davout: in
the same vein "oh you plugged
this no-brand iphone cable in? not certified by apple? fuck you bitch, i'm not charging"
davout: aha, so far i
thought it was limited
to a simple counter in
the printer itself
punkman: "Your Printer has stopped? Waste Ink Pads counter overflow? Want
to go
to Canon Customer Service? Want give
them $50? DON’T WASTE YOUR
TIME and MONEY – RESET YOUR PRINTERS YOURSELF"
ascii_field: as in IT WON'T PRINT unless
the
two agree and crypto-handshake etc.
davout: iirc
there was some guy
that demonstrated
that indeed, printers would seppuku after X printed pages by doing exactly
that, showing
that by re-programming it,
the 'broken' printer came back
to life
ascii_field: davout:
this kind of braindamage has been around for some years, yes. but until now i did not know
that it has reached
the point where you have
to patch ~the printer itself~ rather
than merely
the eeprom in
the cartridge.
ascii_field: punkman: 'rights management' aka 'you
think you bought
this printer but you actually bought
the right
to print 2000 pages and
throw it out'
mircea_popescu: this one is practically crack.
the people who play it play it like 20 hours/day
davout: re eulora i'm kinda scared of getting addicted
to video games
davout: i kindof remember you being
there like what, a year ago, maybe i'm mistaken
davout: jurov: i keep
tabs on everyone, you're not special!
jurov: davout you keep
tabs on me? does
that mean anything?
davout: i do want
to
try it
though
davout: i guess
the more you wait,
the closer
the probability of me
trying it approaches 1 :D
davout: did -assets ever discuss deterministic ECDSA signatures for
transactions?
ether_: i guess i will refrain from buying ether
then. anyone here invested in other coin other
than btc?
punkman: man, I always have
to reread
that bet
to remember what Yes side means
assbot: A Guide
To Buying 5000 Ether/Bitcoin, 2.5x More
Than Ethereum’s Genesis Sale Offers | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... (
http://bit.ly/1LTGPjz )
ether_: O well, I just read some news article about how microsoft is going
to use ether for a new service, so I wanted
to buy a few
thousand just in case.
mircea_popescu: there was an open offer for a long
time. none of
the sort of starstruck noob
that falls for scamcoins with some regularity had enough btc
to actually
take a position, with one exception.
that dude
then managed
to lose his key.
BingoBoingo: ether_: Wasn't
that an old, expired offer?
