mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, but it's a little ridiculous that they seem to somehow have constructed a pretend-world where they don't even have to consider what they're doing.

mircea_popescu: multiple times.
mircea_popescu: more people would be here saying the same interesting thing
mircea_popescu: if more people went to school and got internet,
pankkake: yes, with the same message
nubbins`: way too easy to fuck up your whole install
nubbins`: SOP for sharepoint development too
mircea_popescu: " I prefer a society based in the rule of law to groups of eager people with bright ideas who ignore everything that has gone before them." << we now have the definition of the old fart.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: this is SOP in crapware analysis
nubbins`: every now and then his windows vm got messed up and he'd just fire up a new one

mircea_popescu: maybe naggum should fart magical pie out of his ear that convinces princess diana to learn how to lisp.
mircea_popescu: so then what am i to think of someone who proposes someone else should do what has never happened.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if this ever happened.
mircea_popescu: " What you could do is take this back to the drawing board, declare yourself unfit to make technical decision because of too much personal involvement, and let other people find ways to reach all of your (technical) goals while breaking none of other people's goals and needs. "
