decimation: I became depressed by dijkstra when he demonstrated how impossible it would be
to fully check a simple multiplier circuit
decimation: it helps a great deal if
the programming language you use guarantees proper memory allocation, bounds checking, etc.
decimation: usg is
the unintentional beneficiary of a great deal of "I want
to make a difference" altruism
kakobrekla: asciilifeform do you claim you can write bugless code (maybe even given
the right platform
to do it on)
decimation: what I find inexplicable is
that you find folks in
the us who absolutely hate everything about usg policies, in
terms of how it mismanages wealth, fails
to jail criminals, etc, and yet are willing
to serve
the military side
decimation: I
think usg inspires a fair amount of zealotry actually
assbot: Logged on 27-08-2014 04:09:34; asciilifeform: if you (org.) want
to keep secrets,
the menu is roughly: a) employ incorruptible fanatics b) keep all henchmen incommunicado, in 'шарашка' prisons c)
there is no 'c.'

decimation: this 'bash bug' is hilarious. one wonders who knew about it for
the past few years, and who exploited it unawares...

BingoBoingo: In
the interim my younger brother went
to dental school, and... why
the fuck didn't I do
that...
BingoBoingo: My brother's freshman year room mate I am
told had a pantent on a similar detachable keyboard arrangement.Last I check as of 2007
the VC circus had enlarged his expectation's sphincter many guages
BingoBoingo: I was inclined
to
think
that might be
the laptop's own detached
BingoBoingo: Are
there any longsoons
that aren't in miniature?
BingoBoingo: I
thought he was always on longsoon now a days. I'd never seen one with a detaching keyboard
though.
BingoBoingo: looks like a bit of interesting chicom

BingoBoingo: I wish I had
the dexterity
to handle clockwork in a creative way
BingoBoingo: Africa where Ebola is about
to become a permanent feature of life, or South America where anyone of worth from
the remains of Rome settled are
the extant options.
BingoBoingo: If you are worried about
the mineshaft gap you are on
the wrong continent
BingoBoingo: Hidden, Fortress, and neither compose a
triangle.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: And
there's
the
trick. You can't have shangri-la without fresh nubile women, and you can't have a place for
them
to congregate without a city. By
this metric a courtyard between building wings could be all
the gultch necessary.
BingoBoingo: The
tragic flaw with
TDV's Galts gultch Chile is
that it could have been viabile if only instead
they went for an apartment block in a city...
BingoBoingo: So likely
the plan may or may not involve hoofing it
that stretch and buying another motor vehicle
BingoBoingo: I'm coming
to
terms with my car running out of value
to make it worth boating across
the Darien
BingoBoingo: And

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
Too heavy for Mexico backpack
BingoBoingo is still rather sad
there is interesting harware right down US 50 from himself, but it is
too heavy

BingoBoingo: Then
there's
the revenue sharing and salary cap shit in
the NFL
that makes me nauseous... Why should good
teams have
to disband
their core in
the same of salary caps? I have no problem with
the idea
that a Jeter and A Rod-less Yankee
team will have Giancarlo Stanton, but salary caps a sa parity
tool are even stupider in
the NFL where
they actually exist as most players careers end within
two seasons.
BingoBoingo: Creeping up on
the NFL (and College Football) is
the specter of people prefering
to watch games at
the bar or at home. Combatting
this so far has been
teams declaring any Stadium older
than 15 years obsolete, but all it
takes is one city calling
the bluff and chasing
their
team
to Los Angeles for
the pressure
the NFL exerts
to deflate.
BingoBoingo: Baseball went
through
this in
the 1960's
though when neither Marris nor Mantle could be
the next Babe Ruth.
BingoBoingo: As great as Lebron is, his legacy is going
to be compared
to
the Mega Stars from before
the Internet gave such categories serious competition.
BingoBoingo: Baseball fucked itself pretty hard by discouraging anyone from liking good players with
the PED witchhunt, but... At least it never had a Space Jam.
BingoBoingo: The NBA of course is its own different animal in
that it is still recovering from Space Jam, Kazam, and everything but basketball being
the center of attention
BingoBoingo: Right, because Derek Jeter gets
to go out with dignity and... Brett Farve after all
that CTE can't even continue
to grasp hook up etiquette.
BingoBoingo: Well, I like baseball because
the great players have
the space
to make careers. Same for hockey. In
the NFL
though, I
tend
to root for players over
teams and hope
they survive long enough
to make it over
the sub-two year average career.
BingoBoingo: College
teams have
to keep merely replacement level players from being a handicap.
BingoBoingo: But
that's a hazard of
the College game. Good players lose eligibility. Whereas in
the NFL you can pick a position play
to within 5lbs and 0.5 inches of
the coach's ideal
BingoBoingo: You can have a great quarterback, but it doesn't mean much if
they have
to burn
time getting
the ball in
the first place instead of getting it downfield.
BingoBoingo: Doubt He'll finish
the season if
they keep
that center.
BingoBoingo: On
the other side Mizzou's quarterback displayed spectacluar gymnastic feats of athleticism... merely getting
the ball on completely fucked snaps.
BingoBoingo: The dude was on supplemental oxygen
though before he came back. Why he didn't fucking cross
the street
to
the hospital(s) you could see on camera I will never know.
BingoBoingo: Dude sat out
the entire second quarter on an oxygen machine, game back
the second half. Made game winning plays. Definitely making it into
the Nfl if he doesn't get himself killed first.
BingoBoingo: But still
Tevin Coleman, coming back from a near coma was a beast for Indiana.
BingoBoingo: But I will admit last week's Mizzou loss,
they might as well have fucking lost
to Mckendree, another Alma Mater which only joined
the NCAA 2 years ago, in D 2
BingoBoingo: For
the Most part. On
the downside other divisions can produce some ridiculously dominant
teams due
to
the lack of serious
threats
BingoBoingo: decimation: What drives excitement in
the college game is how disproportionately good
the great players are in relation
to replacement level. Hence Johnny Manziel singlehandedly making A&M competitive or
Tevin Coleman avoiding a coma leading
the Indiana upset over Missouri lastweekend almost on his own (Missouri's shitty center helped by not knowing how
to snap
the fucking ball
to
the quarterback)
http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/ BingoBoingo: decimation: Not really considering Illinois managed
to stay in. Hilarious will be
that in
the next 5 years
there is going
to be a game where Maryland fucks
the ever loving shit out of Ohio State.
decimation: the fact
that maryland is in
