that something bad happened on
the jet, oxygen got sucked out before anyone could do much, becomes 'death ship'
BingoBoingo: decimation: Interesting place
to put a limit
mircea_popescu: but by
the age of infertility one'd expect even a libertard

too stupid
to live is almost expected
mircea_popescu: there's
this failure
that aspires
to be an artist
through pr.
assbot: Staying on
the cutting edge -
Technology -
theage.com.au
mircea_popescu: it's so sad
to see
the libertard behaviour
trying

The Register
bounce: the immediate risk is
that
they'll be insufferable for a goodly while.
mircea_popescu: not so smart making calls on babies, either. l;et
them grow first.
TheNewDeal: vexual, what's
the drink count at
tonight?
Vexual: yeah,
the costs of
throwing a can of jolt at a $2000 lcd have gone up
too, and you need better aim
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> bounce it gets complicated, obviously.

the new crew is IMO a better deal

mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> bounce: search channel logs re: at least
three separate discussions of how

terms like "xilinx" is better
than an empty search entreaty. he doesn't know what
to search for.
bounce: well, not entirely.
they started kicking out "cruft" but keeping
the general structure and core code
mircea_popescu: * bounce didn't catch on
to hiding behind lame excuses with
the openssl folks, but if so
that ought
to be enough
to get
the s/w booted entirely, not just revamped. << it is.

to continue as is, you will, sooner or later, find yourself on
the list. <<
this is a valid concern.

the circle jerking
though.
