mircea_popescu: asciilifeform tell me why anyone sane would put a clock in at all if he has to ntp anyway
asciilifeform: it has to be ntp'd every time.
asciilifeform: one thing is, curiously, missing from the box - a clock.

asciilifeform: generic, with several necessary patches from the cpu maker.

decimation wonders if any of this consumer grade junk has ecc ram
decimation: albeit a reliable usb3 to ethernet dongle is probably more costly than the device
decimation: so one could get a usb3 to ethernet and make a cheap router too
asciilifeform: decimation: this is not the cheapest (~$12) but second-cheapest (~$18) 'pogo.'
asciilifeform: decimation: under top cover, usb port (usb2?) and sata (2.5 inch laptop drive.) on rear end, two usb3 ports and 1 Gbit ethernet, and dc in (12 volt.)
decimation: asciilifeform: what kind of buses are available on your pogo board? and is it the "pogoplug mobile"?
jurov: this amazon caching really adds another dimension to everything
asciilifeform: half what i'm seeing is a link to nowhere
asciilifeform: jurov: click on any of the sources.
mircea_popescu: dude don't mix the shitstrands
jurov: asciilifeform: fixed, CMerkleBlock isn't supposed to be in 0.5.3 but i have put there newer cpp files by mistake
asciilifeform: he may want to know if the disk has filled.
mircea_popescu: if not, throw out unit get new one.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah, because guy knows the ip and can just check if a node answers there
asciilifeform: recall that we snipped upnp.
asciilifeform: well, what if trivial malfunction (frayed cable, or he forgot to forward port 8333 or whatnot)
mircea_popescu: he's not really to care.
asciilifeform: and how is he to know that the machine is working ?
mircea_popescu: running node for the purpose of having nodes on the network.
asciilifeform: i.e. is user expecting an interface of some kind? or just running a node for the warm emotions
asciilifeform: it still remains to be answered, what these are for.
asciilifeform: presently backing up the original contents, to restore later (why? so can test auto-diddler that pumps in everything in one go.)
asciilifeform: object on right hand side of photograph is plastic lid (why??? ask them, not me. with it on, the device looks precisely like the non-sata version.)
assbot: test - Imgur ... ( http://bit.ly/1Ec4OrB )
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, mod6, jurov, mircea_popescu: http://imgur.com/mFytet5 << that thing.
mircea_popescu: lol totally ben_vulpes hanbot has it : the little nubbin was angling for your ass.
mircea_popescu: he's exactly their fucking poster child : politically aware, rhetorically prepared, ready to lie and fake it all the way.
mircea_popescu: and a whole shitload of "charity" in africa isn't going towash this off of them. poor monkey is doing what they claiemd he should be doing. fucking frauds.
mircea_popescu: i blame undressen horowitz and paul graham and fucking bill gates. that's who i blame.

ben_vulpes: man i gotta get better at telling stories.
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> ben_vulpes wait, this was a little girl ? << yeah
asciilifeform: laser << can get as many axes as you want to pay for. diametric, iirc, has a 3-axis.
assbot: DigiRob Laser - The Ultimate 7Axis Robotic Laser Cutting Machine - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1JvY5Y2 )
punkman: hanbot, oic what you mean. I don't know much about lasers, but I think focus adjustment wouldn't help for the vase example.
asciilifeform: jurov: http://btc.yt/lxr/ident?_i=CMerkleBlock << e.g., this, is probably not supposed to happen. (click on identified, finds nothing.)
hanbot: if it can actually adjust focus distance to make a real plane, then well...it can adjust focus distance.
hanbot: i imagine what you mean is that the cheapo laser has fixed distance focus. then it would cut on a spheric surface not really a cartesian plane.
punkman: you need a laser that doesn't just move in cartesian plane, solved problem but expensive
danielpbarron: i bet he did the engraving on a disc and cut the B out after
hanbot: is it really that hard a problem? what if you use a second laser to measure distance and focus the cutter?
undata accepts there is a loving lord
undata: also helps to be able to blow blockage out
mircea_popescu: "THE TRUTH BEHIND NUBBINS LIES AND TACTICS"

mircea_popescu: shit, let's do a cold fusion and circle cvadrature bounty on tardstalk!
mircea_popescu: "I would be willing to offer a negotiable fee or bounty to anyone who could solve this engineering problem."
mircea_popescu: undata if the air and food weren't meeting you couldn't likely speak
mircea_popescu: undata how's that logic go ?
undata: nubbins`: I've always thought it ample evidence of there being no god that food and air share one, refuse recreation and procreation another
