nubbins` owns
third-party printer drivers
that allow him
to control -- among other
things -- voltage
to piezo
nubbins`: you'll rarely see others
try it
nubbins`: epson's
the only one using it as a rule
ascii_field: i had
this notion
that all modern inkject machines use piezos
nubbins`: epson inkjet: voltage applied
to piezo element
nubbins`: regular inkjet: heating element rapidly boils ink inside cart, steam bubble forces ink out
through aperture
ascii_field: quality was about on par with ancient
typewriter and
then leave document in
the sun for a decade or
three
ascii_field: i found a very, very fast
tractor-feed (!) early '90s inkjet in a skip once, as a kid
nubbins`: incidentally, some of you may be interested
to know, epson is
the only home printer mfg
that has printheads
that can deliver variable amounts of ink
nubbins`: not a loss on ink/toner costs, mind you, but a loss on
time
nubbins`: i actually
took a loss on a job a while back because i priced it for color laser prints and
they weren't up
to snuff
ascii_field: afaik colour laser was never well-regarded by artistic
types
nubbins`: text, you'd be a fool
to use an inkjet
nubbins`: i'm also not convinced
that home color laser beats inkjet for image quality
nubbins`: but
the CIS kit i have supplies a constant flow of very inexpensive, high quality ink
mike_c: i have had mixed success with chinese knockoff ink cartridges, and have a suspicion
they have led
to
the death of my current printer..
ascii_field: nubbins`: function of
the paper? if
the ink is water-soluble, and it gets in - how will it not also get out, when wetted again ?
nubbins`: off-brand ink is cheaper
than off-brand
toner
nubbins`: mike_c name-brand
toner is cheaper
than name-brand ink
mike_c: i know little
to nothing about
this.. is
toner cheaper
than ink?
nubbins`: ascii_field
that's a function of
the paper 8)
nubbins`: ascii_field is right
tho, color lasers are ubiquitous and cheap. you can get one for around
the same price.
mike_c: oh yeah, look at
that.
ascii_field: does
the ink still run when you sneeze on
the page ?
nubbins`: ascii_field
that's my next step
mike_c: well
they don't make home laser color printers i don't
think
nubbins`: in fairness,
the epson 1430 is really nice, 13" wide-format, and it's probably only like $200-250usd right now.
mike_c: yeah, i figured you'd be
too high end. you don't have any workaday favorites?
nubbins`: i can recommend a nice printer setup
tho
mike_c: shopping for a printer feels like swimming
through a swamp for some reason.
nubbins`: what
the fuck is kim dot com's problem
nubbins`: last couple of gifs show
the masterminds
nubbins`: well.
they sell nice coins. i doubt
they mint 'em domestically
BingoBoingo soliciting pieces of force case. So many stories here can probably publish multiple
takes.
ben_vulpes: for
the record,
the gpg.conf flag
that excludes versions is 'no-emit-version'
ascii_field: namely
that he should
tell his client
to plead
ascii_field: anyway,
this crud is not intended
to prove anything
to jury, but
to
the defense attorney
ben_vulpes: what is it with you and self flagellation with
the usg scourge
ascii_field: was a petty
theft case but very instructive
ben_vulpes: how hard did you work
to get
through voire dire?
ben_vulpes: ascii_field:
they don't let real humans actually sit.
ben_vulpes: there is only one kind of signature
that can prove identity in
this marvelous world where grownups use crypto.
chetty: omg, we all log on
to b-a, must be
the same person
ben_vulpes: "...the outdated version
that both "French Maid" and FORCE (as Nob) used is more of a "signature" given
the greater number of versions available."
ben_vulpes: "they also both used
the same outdated version of
that software 1.4.12"
ben_vulpes: look at
them flail,
trying
to apply
their old
tactics of identity discovery
to
the new world.
ben_vulpes: "additional pieces of circumstantial evidence prove
that FORCE is "French Maid." Both "French Maid" and Force (operating as "Nob") used
the exact same brand of PGP software,a feww brand called GnuPG.
There are different brands of PGP software, so it is noteworthy
that both FORCE (operating as "Nob") and "French Maid" used
the same brand."
ben_vulpes: it boggles
the mind
that Force got DPR using gpg.
ben_vulpes: yeah,
this is just
the guy who got *busted* for operating SR.
ben_vulpes: "i was afraid of offending if I sent
too little and looking foolish if i sent
too much."
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes in
the system
they live in,
this is a crime.
ben_vulpes: ascii_field:
the crime was not giving
the privkeys
to
the bossman, if i read correctly
ascii_field: pigs will fly, and above speed of light
too, before
this is prosecuted.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo i will be forever grateful if qntra breaks with
the general
trend in
the "press" and actually points out
that MP knew
this months ago. << perhaps you want
to
take
this one on? My venom sacs are running low after
the disappearing lawsuit and
this happening.
mircea_popescu: especially as he conspired with others
to do so, who idem 20
to life.
mircea_popescu: he knew, lied
to
the judge - which is enough for disbarment, and broke half
the laws in
the book, which is enough for 20
to life.
mircea_popescu: it's not like
the guy in charge didn't KNOW what was happening.
mircea_popescu: now let's see
the da
that KNEW
THIS and made
this call prosecuted under rico.
BingoBoingo: Also
this is why
the Maryland murder for hire
thing couldn't be
tried
mircea_popescu: that way
they don't have
to explain
to
the judge why
the
testimony of convicted felons should be
taken seriously.
mircea_popescu: good
thing
they got
the conviction
through BEFORE saying
these people were felons
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> also it's prosecuted not persecuted, unless intentional. <<
Totally intentional. Preet prosecuted,
thugs merely persecuted. With pogroms and fake assassinens
ben_vulpes: > froze a coinmkt account and
transferred it
to himself
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i will be forever grateful if qntra breaks with
the general
trend in
the "press" and actually points out
that MP knew
this months ago.
ascii_field: read
the damn
thing, prepare
to pick yourself up from floor
mircea_popescu: check out
that crazy mp
telling sec
to back up its supoenas in writing.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu:
they don't admit -all of it- having been pinched
mircea_popescu: check out
that crazy mp saying
the usms
thing was fraudulent!
ascii_field: makes
the original ulbricht accusation look like a
total snorefest
ascii_field: ^ describes, among many other lulz, how one of
the most damning acts of mr force was
to encourage dpr
to use pgp
trinque: is
the purpose
there
to avoid "legitimizing"
the existence of US-born malcontents?
trinque: I am surprised at how quickly "not
terrorism related" gets stamped on
the event
nubbins`: (in addition
to
the plywood coverings, it was also deemed prudent
to cover
the McD's-branded awning with a
tarp)
nubbins`: incidentally,
the only sign of protest i saw
the entire day was "McMurder" spray painted on
the plywooded McDonald's on Rideau
nubbins`: protip
to protestors: wear a polo shirt
ascii_field: and nubbins` must have left his
turban at home
that day.
ascii_field: 'i wanna use
the hawaladar, let me
through' probably would not work
