BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: That is the very interesting question. I dunno if cats meaningfully have "species"
moiety: i miss btc .. this crowd is making me lose sanity/... oh was that the beep i heard?
asciilifeform: afaik every hybrid that's ever been attempted in earnest - worked.
asciilifeform: moiety: a question that's been bugging me for years: are there actually distinct species (in the biologist's sense) of cat.
BingoBoingo: moiety: I just popped on, was I think you should just unilaterally switch the site to altcoin and change the mascots to Manuls
moiety: christ, who's been bothering you? obviously don't know us that well lol
BingoBoingo: moiety: From your ghetto "BingoB you you need meet chi so the two of you can talk about mauls for days"
BingoBoingo: Of course you the decreases the value of feral cats. Useful ferals like useful farm cats need to catch vermin
moiety: someone in the extended family has a pregnant cat.. i may be forced to rehome a small being shortly
moiety: all teh kittehs - challenge accepted
BingoBoingo: moiety: But the challenge it introduces is soon you have ALL the feral cats to feed
moiety: and the only ones that could migrate were those uphill that could roll
BingoBoingo: The less interesting challenge is they migrate.
moiety: what if they got too fat to mate?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: That's the interesting problem
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: doesn't work - they multiply
BingoBoingo: With a sufficient monetary surplus I think an interesting project would be, introducing feral cats to obesity
moiety: i just heard about this doge TMing business, and i can't stop laughing
moiety: make it 16 asciilifeform .. go on, you know you want to
assbot: The Temple Operating System
BingoBoingo: Comments from the loper blog now make me think of http://www.templeos.org/Wb/Accts/TS/Wb2/TempleOS.html when I think of successors to the ancient Mac OS legacy
asciilifeform: no space for a multi-GB turd.
BingoBoingo: One dilema I ponder on sometimes is whether the beauty of the ancient macs was due to the talent of the developers, or due to the beauty of 68k assembly.
BingoBoingo: I've never really done much with C though, haven't done anything with C on an ancient Mac. Problems that tend to push me to finally string together some code tend to be further up the stack.
BingoBoingo: Any interesting C programming generally is going to mean moving from mac os to A/UX which... means finding a suitable Mac (68030 based generally) and a hard drive of sufficent capacity
BingoBoingo: I've look at Mac OS 6-7.5.1 dev tools, but... That route tends to lead to shitty implementations of pascal or resedit and 68k assembly
BingoBoingo: That's a good question. I actually don't know if there are any good tools for it.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i meant - traditional C
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Hypercard usually. There's bound to be better tools, but... It tends to work for ancient Mac things
assbot: Football match-fixing deal casts cloud over World Cup - Telegraph
BingoBoingo: Points got to West Virgina where "West Virginia University Hospitals, Inc." is the largest company based there by revenue
assbot: What the biggest companies are from each state in the US
BingoBoingo: mike_c: on the one hand, casinos have been around since.. forever. on the other, JD volume has been dropping. << I imagine this is another natural part of having harder money.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> wow check that out, it just HAILED in BA << Is hail not a familiar mode of weather for you?
Mats_cd03: i thought it was a little low

gribble: BingoBoingo was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 7 hours, 15 minutes, and 39 seconds ago: <BingoBoingo> benkay: Wait till you get to the comments
asciilifeform: perhaps in japan. where they seem to remember the appeal of 'machine that does one thing well.'
asciilifeform: and an os that doesn't bomb
asciilifeform: jurov: you must mean something other than the keyboard already found on that machine ?
asciilifeform: i've seen actual novelists confess to owning '80s laptops which... boot into 'wordstar.' but try using one away from mains current.
asciilifeform: i always found it interesting how much functionality one... loses by rolling a 'general purpose' computer into a product. not even concerning security and the like.
asciilifeform: 'I would dearly love a dedicated word processor... runs for months on one battery charge, never crashes, presents no distractions, and, shortly, isn’t a PC. Not being a PC (or, more specifically, not running a PC operating system) is a truly under-rated and beautiful feature in any gadget.'
asciilifeform: (my position on the subject: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=861&cpage=1#comment-2909)

asciilifeform: build the radiation dome, fill with breathable air, impale the capital controls idiots, etc
mircea_popescu: no they just don't like tight cona
asciilifeform: betcha plenty of folks would move to Ar, but... are waiting for mircea_popescu to terraform it.
benkay: well they still have to work their asses off to hire both the managers and those who toil under the managers.
mircea_popescu: that sentence taped me out.
mircea_popescu: benkay im sure they do, because with their great reputation there's a bunch of smart, qualified people wanting to work for them.
benkay: <mircea_popescu> jborkl winkleloss #1 and #2 right ? // they actually *hire* managers, if you'd believe it.
mircea_popescu: this is trollage!
jborkl: nm got the "found by" online now just have to fill in a few blanks
l337: got it, I took it literally what you said
mircea_popescu: he could just get out of fucktardlandia too
mircea_popescu: i merely pointed out extemporaneously that he doesnm't have to necessarily sell or close down
l337: mircea_popescu: is doog moving to argentina because of this?
TheNewDeal: if you need a grease monkey to work on your machines, give me a call
TheNewDeal: didn't take mp to be a rumorist
mthreat: wow that rumor didn't take long
TheNewDeal: he's joining the MP crowd in LaArgentina?
mike_c: hehe. true.
mircea_popescu: mike_c he could just keep it on play money for a month or w/e while he moves to argentina.
mike_c: this seems like a pretext to get out, no? but maybe he just wants to walk away.
mircea_popescu: provided he even wants to sell.
TheNewDeal: Return is still to high not to attract bets...
[]bot: Bet placed: 1 BTC for No on "Bitcoin price above $800 before July" http://bitbet.us/bet/799/ Odds: 28(Y):72(N) by coin, 29(Y):71(N) by weight. Total bet: 10.16199681 BTC. Current weight: 5,498.
mike_c: hm. a return to 6 digit wager volume would surprise me. but it's quite possible new management could make it happen.
mircea_popescu: mike_c that "a month" kinda impleis it's stable. it's not that stable it seems.
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete teh court finds your arguments persuasive.
mike_c: still though, 60k in wager volume a month is a nice business.
mike_c: like who? its dropped a lot. set new all-time-lows 3 out of 6 months this year.
mike_c: on the one hand, casinos have been around since.. forever. on the other, JD volume has been dropping.
mthreat: ya, then take loans
TheNewDeal: how does JD continue to exist? Don't stupid people go broke?
