mircea_popescu: freedom plus autism equals makework eh ?
trinque: insert into `/etc/hosts` (ip, hostname) select ip, hostname from `/var/db/dhcp.leases`; << the only reason this (represented in *any* syntax, has nothing to do with SQL itself) isn't possible is that "freedom" plus autism equals makework

asciilifeform: because your thoughts are never entirely your own. Philosophers, writers, artists, even scientists, not only need encouragement and an audience, they need constant stimulation from other people. It is almost impossible to think without talking.

asciilifeform: Why is this idea false? I pass over the fact that modern dictatorships don't, in fact, leave the loopholes that the old-fashioned despotisms did; and also the probable weakening of the desire for intellectual liberty owing to totalitarian methods of education.

As an example, marketers often divide spend by total customers to calculate SAC rather than just those customers that were
mircea_popescu: They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something that you just dump something on.
