these idiots, not just ignore

mircea_popescu: the only pity here is
that linus is about as political minded as your average frog, and so instead of
taking up arms, booting all us interest from linux, strangling poettering by his own guts and so on,
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no,
they don't need a king you see.

thing!"
mircea_popescu: is
this like

to make
their world out of, and
then were never heard from again ?

BingoBoingo: Highligh:>> UPDATE: ModelViewCulture CEO Shanley Kane has asked me
to describe her not as a "diversity advocate" or "diversity activist" and
to instead identify her as
the co-founder and CEO of a media company

transactions in
the chain is not allowed

think it's rudimentary spam control.
undata: mircea_popescu: I've got it adding keys and accepting valid signed messages, building out
the bundle-and-stamp process
