<< i never thought i'd live to hear that one.
mircea_popescu: phillipsjk: The users installing those routers probably don't even play with computer networks as a hobby. It is the manufacturers, not the end-users' fault that UPnP is exposed to the Internet.
<<< ther atrocity known as unpnp exists in the first place because people who do not know how to use computers wish nevertheless to use computers, and then complain to people running servers that "doesn't work".

assbot: Logged on 29-01-2015 15:12:13; mircea_popescu: phillipsjk: The captures are 5.0GB each. Just a little too large to fit on a DVD:P
<< last time we diagnosed this it was mostly unpnp pwnt routers that yielded it.
pete_dushenski: true renewable sources of energy–wind, solar, and biomass–may be much less adversely affected by the plunge in oil prices than is widely believed

BingoBoingo:
<asciilifeform> decimation: actually, sun corp. endured for a while

<< except agilent et.al. comes with windows
mircea_popescu: cazalla: but i think we've also refined the type of content we publish

Apocalyptic:
<cazalla> wow, they fkn locked the fork off thread because hey.. can't have actual blocksize increase discussion can you.. // this is outrageous, but not unexpected
