mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i
think he is lucky
that he's unkempt, otherwise i'd be reading all over
the internet how he's a pedophile pornographer gypsy guy.
BingoBoingo: I predict Vexual next says Bullshit because he loves
the shit of Bulls over
the shit of cows
benkay: what is
the damn power plant!
mircea_popescu: After about five minutes, it finally dawned on me
that
this was
the guy behind
the GNU/GPL movement but he spoke like an insane, raving mad man. After about half an hour of listening, I came
to
the conclusion
that he fits
the stereotype of “prophet” – like
those found in
the Bible – only he’s got
the software angle.
mircea_popescu: "I met Richard Stallman (RMS) once. Actually sat down
to dinner with him at
the same
table but I didn’t realize who he was. He was poorly dressed, unkempt, needed a shower, and his conversation was both confused and confusing. I later learned
that he was always
that way. When he got up as
the speaker for
that afternoon, I said
to myself, “Huh? Who is
this guy
that he’s being allowed
to speak dressed like
that?”
benkay: but at least
the cost of
the microdrones necessary
to liberate cascadia's well priced now
benkay: i have yet
to identify
the powerplant, yet, but many pages mention fuel
tanks
benkay: they're widely available on
the internet.
mircea_popescu: someone pays money
to be in
the class of people doing
this ? why
the fuck already.
B007: I did't buy any books
this semester
mircea_popescu: i
think a bitbel prize for computing may be in order for whoever predicts a vexual next line.
Vexual: fuck if im explaining
that for $80/hr
benkay: i kind of
think fuck social vcs, but i dasn't really
take
that stance in america
Vexual: or get a
tuned in printing press
that will print onto shitty paper
mircea_popescu: any system in which
the printed books cost more
than
the xerocopies doesn't deserve
to exist.
mircea_popescu: all
the kids bought books afair, mostly because it was cheaper
to buy
the book
than
to photocopy
benkay: shit i just got
told by Vexual
benkay: that would be
the answer
to
this wouldn't it Vexual
benkay: f yeah
that's useful
there's a jet in
the results
BingoBoingo: benkay: Can you set 140 F as a
temperature?
benkay: it's not burning per se just a big ol' piece of steel with electrons pumped
through.
benkay: i'm failing
to estimate evaporation rates on my own
benkay: hey guys

thumbs down on gently simmering
the covered stock overnight
BingoBoingo: B007: I challenge you

these countries unintentionally wrong
Vexual: i still
think jurov likes in slovenia, so not me

the
topic : anyone explain
the difference between a clism and a cataclysm ?
B007: oh man might have
to send
that
to some people
B007: but wouldn't a microcontroller or real
time os make more sense?
kakobrekla: if i say cups i get reminded of
those cups videos
taht you dont want
to be reminded of
mircea_popescu: i wonder how
those people advertise it. "all
the cramp and discomfort of a bra with none of
the protection!"
kakobrekla: i dunno how
to use fork manual. anyone got a manual on
that?
Vexual: got
the manual no doubt ascii
kakobrekla: yes more normal

to my bug report.
B007: but I like *nix
the best
B007: I like DOS better
than windows
BingoBoingo: Well, I make small modificattions, but as per my classifications of
these
things it is delete and see if it still works rather
than actual programming.
BingoBoingo: But firefox is fixed simply
through
the NoScript extension
to become
the second best web browser after Lynx
mircea_popescu: “Firefox is
the best argument
that proprietarians have about low quality foss software. A million eyes, a million hands, a million
turds.”
kakobrekla: or just call up nsa
to back feed and
the cams in
the room
to rooms
tv screen
BingoBoingo: In
the hotel kakobrekla image on
the ceiling is rotated by software rather
than mirror.
kakobrekla: well, you can rotate it with software, you dont need
to hold
the monitor in place.
BingoBoingo: I'd be disappointed if #openBSD-techsupport didn't operate
that way
mircea_popescu: girl goes up
to guy's apartment for
the first
time, sees monitor suspended on rope from ceiling, looks at him "o, you're on #weird-fucks ?"
mircea_popescu: i wonder if an irc chan ever existed where
the people wrote upside down deliberately and just held
their irc-chat dedicated monitors upside down
mircea_popescu: a
true mexican eats enough jalapeno
that when he farts,
kakobrekla: "would you like some veggie farts?" "actually, id rather opt for
that bag of fiat."
BingoBoingo: Adequate intake of beef and pork is
the only way
to keep one's farts polite.
r3wt: your farts must smell pretty good
then
BingoBoingo: A
thing
that may have been a sport in
the 1990's when first boot device was always a: may or may not have been putting floppy disks with format c: in autoexec.bat in Best Buy computers.
r3wt: even a linux noob wouldn't fall for
that
mircea_popescu: now
they';re making a statue in reykjkavik
to immortalize it.
BingoBoingo: r3wt: What are you
talking about, Plenty of people have used WIndows
to play Eve in
the past.
mod6: r3wt: don't underestimate
the power of idiots
r3wt: no one has ever been
that stupid,.
kakobrekla: it prolly deleted less systems
than linux nubs did with rm -rf * comming from irc
to fix
their problems.
mircea_popescu: "Probably
the single most destructive software bug
to ship in
the last 10 years with consumer software was an EVE Online update whose installer wiped boot drives on Windows."
