ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu>
today, sent responses
to ~300 of
them,
that were inquiring
to know a) where is
the center of buenos aires and b) whether argentines are poor. << why were
they asking if argentines are poor?
nubbins`: pete_dushenski stop bogarting
that dutch
the_scourge: the desperate wannabe? i
think i remember a few of
those
pete_dushenski: so i guess
the monitor,
trying
to adapt and keep up with
the kids
pete_dushenski: see,
the nerd has a good chance of growing up
to be someone someday, so google can't very well be
that
pete_dushenski: which makes me
think i should re-write
that old classic "all i really need
to know i leaned in kindergarten" for
the internet age
the_scourge: so what does
that make google?
the monitor or a nerd?
pete_dushenski: some kids are playing
tag, some kids are playing chess, some kids are driving
the
teachers crazy,
pete_dushenski: following behind
the cool kids and
taking notes is nothing new
cazalla: it's not a big deal but would not want
to see it become a habit
cazalla: re: pastebin submissions, can we please use email? google snatches
these up quick and pastebin gets
the credit for
the content
cazalla: yes and
that is despite
the past week being freezing here (sunny morning
today, yay)
assbot: Australia:
The
Tax Institute Calls for 'Voluntary' Bitcoin Registry,
Treating Bitcoin as Currency | Qntra.net ... (

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: in criminal
trials, iirc << In capital (death penalty)
trials, probably other yes.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> for folks unfamiliar with u.s. jurisprudence, verdict has
to be unanimous << Not in every kind of case actually
BingoBoingo: Last night I got stressed an make a Minix,
today...
trinque: railroad's running right on
time
punkman: Ulbricht: "On Wednesday, a jury
took about
three hours
to find him guilty on all seven counts."
mircea_popescu: stupidity, yes. malice... rarely. on account of people being so stupid
they can't really manage malice on
the same cpu.
mircea_popescu: i was happy
to confirm for
their needs where
the center is and
that yes indeed
they are poor.
mircea_popescu: today, sent responses
to ~300 of
them,
that were inquiring
to know a) where is
the center of buenos aires and b) whether argentines are poor.
trinque: vaguely recalled
that
they're imbreeding white
tigers
to keep
them going
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes speaking of which : sent emails
to ~500 real estate agencies in buenos aires, yes.
the_scourge: is
that
that crazy big cat place in middle of nowhere wisconsin? with
the ligers?
trinque: you
take what used
to be a predator, add captivity and asinine breeding habits, boom
the_scourge: ben_vulpes: is
that because all of
the non-stupid people ended up dispairing and
turned malicious?
ben_vulpes: <trinque> pretty easy
to bitch about how everyone's
terrible in
the US
too if one allows himself << stupidity and malice are
the *defaults*, guys. people who aren't either stupid or malicious are *not*
to be expected.
trinque: the_scourge: heh, dude..
this feel, I know it
cjc: I picked it up sans
the expensive delivery fee.
the_scourge: trinque: i
take responsibility for
the situation. i've had certain goals and i've been working on
them for so long i haven't stopped
to smell
the roses or look up
the local 2600 chapter. if
that even exists anymore
trinque: pretty easy
to bitch about how everyone's
terrible in
the US
too if one allows himself
trinque: the_scourge: gotta just ignore useless people and not miss
the opportunity
to hang among
the worthwhile when it comes along
the_scourge: phillipsjk:
thanks for looking into
the ddos stuff btw
the_scourge: i'm just happy when i get a client where
the head engineer is capable of having slightly
technical discussions... staves off
the cabin fever (which is possible, even in london)
the_scourge: i
think
the lack of opportunity has bent my personality :(
trinque: ah stumpwm... "At least I can get what I want with ample
tape."
cjc: Also, I enjoyed
the btc-dev mailing list post decision
to keep
the CPU miner for Alpha Centauri =)
the_scourge: asciilifeform:
that's a little low, but i'll freely admit i don't hang around with
the right people
the_scourge: woah... is
this wm actually written in common lisp? why have i never heard of
this before
the_scourge: ben_vulpes: it should respect what xrandr
tells it
to do, regardless. i've used
tiling window managers with a retina laptop in 9 different shops in
the last 18 months, sometimes changing desks
throughout
the week. just
turn everything off and use xrandr, i'm sure your wm will respect it
mircea_popescu: if one could just use common lisp (no devs involved)
there'd be no computing language forums.
ben_vulpes: when your c devs start implementing common lisp out of ignorance, it's probably
time
to just use common lisp.
the_scourge goes
to find out how something can become
too lispy
the_scourge: "StumpWM is a
tiling window manager
that was created when developer Shawn Betts found ratpoison growing increasingly large and "lispy"."
ben_vulpes: i guess
this is
the curse of a shop with > 8 monitors
ben_vulpes: i just want
to use it, i don't want
to rewrite it
the_scourge: ben_vulpes: just do xrandr by hand. unless you're one of
those people who has
their monitors in
the same orientation every day
ben_vulpes: x and my wm collectively shit
themselves when i switch
to a monitor
theyve never seen before.
phillipsjk: er UDP *fragment* flood. (The UPNP shit was UDP
too)
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller notice
that
there doesn't exist an equivalent "love for
teenaged females".
mircea_popescu: phillipsjk for
the record,
these attacks aren't exactly bandwidth related in any sense,
they're packet based.
phillipsjk: I used a search engine, not wikipedia directly. I was checking form more
than like 3 uses.
mircea_popescu: the overarching point
there is
that vessenes' scam and
the people hanging in -dev do not have
the authority
to either implement or discuss bitcoin forks.
