asciilifeform: (ghs sells own os, not based on anything in particular. something which in principle i'd find appealing, but virtually nothing is publicly known about it. it's a 'golden toilet' of u.s. military establishment.)

cazalla: this sums it up well - "The storyline of Archeage is a war between whites and east Asians, and much of the game play is piracy, with much of the piracy featuring conflicts between whites and east Asians. White male avatars are depicted as way better than anyone else, even though this game was written and the art drawn by east Asians. (And, by the way, the Mongols are catboys)"

decimation: actually that's $6.8bn for the metal cage that holds the humans, the rocket is extra
decimation: lol usg is planning to spend $6.8bn bezzlars on one rocket (but it's fit for humans!) http://www.airspacemag.com/daily-planet/boeing-spacex-win-nasa-commercial-crew-award-180952722/?no-ist
TheNewDeal: I may be wrong, but, the other day I think the topic of french woment showing their tits as part of some feminist revolution was discussed in here? Anyway here's a video that should provide some lulz. Forewarning, it's 10 minutes long, and retarded http://www.upworthy.com/a-french-film-showing-men-what-being-a-woman-feels-like-kinda?c=reccon1
BingoBoingo: decimation: Sure, but if the lifespan is so poor...
cazalla: mircea_popescu, close! but no cigar as they say :P
decimation: BingoBoingo: I think they try to keep a few 'spares' in orbit
decimation: the details behind the glonass outage: http://gpsworld.com/the-system-glonass-in-april-what-went-wrong/
asciilifeform: and this is without any banana dictator deciding one day to play selective-access games with the machines.
BingoBoingo: The20YearIRCloud: I dun think you know how frequently GPS satellites get replaced
The20YearIRCloud: Even with collapse the constellation has good working chances through 2050
The20YearIRCloud: What's median lifespan of a GPS satellite? Last time I checked it was over 30 years
asciilifeform: hasn't worked correctly till about 2004 >> imperial collapse isn't terribly great for satellite constellations. as usa will soon discover.
asciilifeform: it'll get 100% uptime when the last wintel box in russia is ceremonially burned.
mircea_popescu: but afaik they mostly fixed it.
decimation: mircea_popescu: report to your local reeducation camp to adjust your mental health
mircea_popescu: i've not been following it too closely.
The20YearIRCloud: GPS has essentially had 100% uptime since the 80s. Glonass started in 1976 and hasn't worked correctly till about 2004
The20YearIRCloud: There was supposed to be a ? After what I said. Glonass has been very problematic. When it works its great but way more unreliable than GPS
mircea_popescu: This is why I say that all men should have an annual mandatory mental checkup. Over 80% of inmates are men, and 40% of the global male population ends up in prison at some point in their life. It is clear that they have some sort of genetic defect that makes them act irresponsibly and end up putting others at risk. Peace and civility can only be achieved if we ensure that the male population has a normal functioning st

decimation: neither of which are available today
cazalla: and this is like 5 mins after reading your article
decimation: the way the nazis got there was partially by making von braun the personal dictator of their rocket program and partialy by slave labor
mircea_popescu: this has so got to be fake
cazalla: hilarious, top video on reddit, guy getting jacked at gun point in where else but Buenos Aires
mircea_popescu: well notrly, buy bitcoin for it, then buy the rocket :D
asciilifeform: not sure 19bn buys 1% of earth unless in the form of briefcases loaded with bejies
mircea_popescu: 1% of earth is worth 1% of earth at any point in time.
asciilifeform: 19bn bezzlars? try to spend that much empty paper and buy one rocket.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform % of total world still works as a comparison term.
asciilifeform: how many circa 2014 u.s. dollars buy $1 of circa 1905 german chemistry? and wtf does that even mean.
