told
they fuck babies if it would persuade me
to support another war

through
the fog of propaganda
mats_cd03: asciilifeform: i get
the distinct impression
that
tools in volatile memory forensics are still relatively primitive (compared
to disk forensics) in lots of ways ... Volatility and friends have developed a better understanding of win internals, but much of what
they principally do is still brute force scanning. is
this observation accurate? i'm fairly amateur
mircea_popescu: and its improbable it happened seeing how
they all happen right under my window.
bagels7: im canadian, and stupid canadian bitches on
tv would rather say americans are not stupid

cazalla: undata, pretty sure
that is what
they imply
though eh
undata: I'd
take a king who said what he was up
to any day.
mircea_popescu: undata in a world where pretense is allowed,
truth is necessarily disallowed.
undata: that's what drives me crazy about
the US; nobody ever just says what's actual
mircea_popescu: isis is about as interesting as
the columbian farc, except not bound by low population and
tiny geograpgy.

to ask...
cazalla: can i just be a cop
that kills random nignogs
mats_cd03: eh.
there's a distinct lack of officers in our ranks.
mircea_popescu: that sort of
thing is stopped by people like us, and in its boundless ineptitude,

that US policy might be
to help
that come about,
though I
think
that's giving
too much credit
TomServo: undata:
That

mircea_popescu: and
that was no isolated incident, look how fucking paniced
the socialist states are
today
mircea_popescu: fuck,
the entire lawrence of arabia episode shows
the arabs actually can make leaders OUT OF
THE SOCIALIST GRUNTS
mircea_popescu: all
three socialisms
tried,
the british, and
the russian, and
the us.
mircea_popescu: the "state" has been
trying
to make sure arabs have no leaders since

the nignogs had any sense,
they'd all fight
the cops instead of each other, but
that won't ever happen

the authority who is supposed
to manage
these
thugs (cops) and put
them
to some sensible use
