BingoBoingo: I promise, I will always be
the best parody of myself.
mircea_popescu: @cukeking @CharlieShrem How exciting. Where will
the bitcoin innovation end?
chatquack: ~That's why we only work when, we neeeeeed
the money~
chatquack: I
think even
the older gas ones would still rely on
their ignition coil
to build power
to feed
the spark plugs.
BingoBoingo: EMP's negative effects generally appear in relation
to
the length of
the recieving wire.
chatquack: I don't know if it's
the same for gas.
chatquack: Oh oh.. If
the chamber is still hot enough
to combust gas?
chatquack: diesel is good
to go without spark,
thanks
to compression. (I
think)
chatquack: If your ignition coil on a gas engine goes out, you'd lose spark
though I
think.
Vexual: yep way past
the point
the block is hot enough
to cook you from
the back seat
chatquack runs
to
the hills and dons his
tinfoil hat.

think RMS is a fanatic, and why

those of you
that don't know
the jive,
thats
two carburettors and an overdrive
BingoBoingo: I can vouch
that chatquack and bitcoinpete are different.
chatquack: Anywho. I got intrested in bitcoin last ~april and have been consumed by it (along with any crypto). I'm a computer junky who got sick and
tired of working on computers. Much better as a hobby for me right now. I found a recent love for auto detailing and I am a coinchat exile. =D

This was first used against Serbia during
the operations
to "free" "Kosovo"
BingoBoingo: The US still has airborne cluster munitions
that are deigned for used against power substations which by design litter
the area with aliminum and carboin fillaments.
BingoBoingo: To
the best of my knowledge unuseful non-nuclear emp weapons are a
thing, but vastly surpassed by non-nuclear, non-emp weapons
that simply scatter conductive fibers.

the first degree
B007: link
to a story about
the emp?
Vexual: subs

through oceans and
the earth with very long waves
mircea_popescu: so if i have a shell in
the shape of
two connected spheres, of different sizes, i can't put an instrument inside

tell me whether

the big sphere is closer
to
the nuclear blast ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the amount of aiming
the light beam requires makes your ships still vulnerable
to emp

to be a
thing as long as Prisoners of war
take resources

the edge of space?

test different strategies

the uses. Disposables for command and fancy for destruction
BingoBoingo: I dunno I
think a quilted flourocarbon winged biplane could be nice

to
take stuff out (poor man's guided missle) and fancy ones (comms, coordination, w/e)
Vexual: the hobby
that keeps you outta guitmo
Vexual: turbo polystyrene is
the best model jet
benkay: try not
to break 'em
too often
BingoBoingo: Yeah, If I made a DIY airforce I dunno if I would want a non-drone craft more complicated
than an F-16

the nice ones around
benkay: asciilifeform: i'm down with
that
trajectory of development.
