mircea_popescu: moreover, i can envisage a future where the clean html of the republic is viewed through "browser2iphonekek" as javascript-whatever.
mircea_popescu: all systems designed through inductive means can always be improved -- through the removal of the inductive parts and their replacement with deductive equivalents. that's all.

mircea_popescu: I blush to tell, I tremble to recite our Persian childhood and its fated plight! or something at the very least. the cogent points is that one tempts the fates at his peril with a recount of how changing the republic for a satrapy contained in itself its future blessings such as they were.

mircea_popescu: the notion that somehow russia is a free country dun stand, or else you know, we'd just move there.

mircea_popescu: it's your job to now convince me the "centre for information securityt" of the fsb prosecuted no "hacker" at any point during its decade long tenure.
mircea_popescu: your claim was "0 usg-style preet process", to which i showed 100% preet process : 1. that indeed there was a preet ; and that indeed he was preet'ed.
mircea_popescu: exact preet. spent a while "prosecuting" "cybercrime", then got prosecuted in turn.
mircea_popescu: moreover, what did the preet do before being canned, quite a la yezhov ?
