mircea_popescu there's 3-4 of those, but you never know when they croak, so. [03:37]
mircea_popescu trivial to get the data for it, just run a node. [03:37]
blackwhite yeah true [03:38]
* KRS-One has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) [03:38]
mircea_popescu if you comprehend go the best solution i'd say is the package maintained by conformal [03:38]
KRS-1 .bait [03:39]
ozbot http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7y47wXuak1r88sa4o1_1280.jpg [03:39]

mircea_popescu nubbins` dudes why so aggro [03:41]
blackwhite thanks. I was considering getting a proper solution. I will look into conformal. My strength is in design (I can code but I am primarily a designer) [03:41]
mircea_popescu well don't end up running something you don't understand. [03:41]
bloctoc thanks benkay. So, I'm looking at S.EUR as... WTF is S.EUR? [03:41]
mircea_popescu https://github.com/conformal/btcd < [03:42]
benkay http://toughmudder.com/sites/default/files/styles/lightboxed/public/Tough-Mudder-Toronto-2013-Sat-Gudkov-1334_0.jpg [03:42]
blackwhite sure. I have enough developer friends that will keep me in place [03:42]
benkay bloctoc: x.eur [03:42]
blackwhite :) [03:42]
mircea_popescu bloctoc not x.eur ? [03:42]
bloctoc anyone can answer [03:42]
benkay not quite the leverage of options, you know? [03:42]
bloctoc yeah, sorry x.eur [03:42]
mircea_popescu blackwhite https://github.com/conformal/btcd [03:42]
benkay http://toughmudder.com/sites/default/files/styles/lightboxed/public/TM_Charlotte_Sat_WestonWalker-1231_0.jpg [03:42]
mircea_popescu bloctoc but it has a contract if you click it. [03:42]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: terminology of the russian propaganda << more specifically ? [03:43]
benkay http://toughmudder.com/sites/default/files/styles/lightboxed/public/TM_SanDiego_Sun_WestonWalker-36_0.jpg [03:43]
bloctoc I'm afraid virus if I click [03:43]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform "in refusing to acquiesce to the installation of a neo-fascist regime in Kiev" [03:43]
mircea_popescu bloctoc mpex doesn't even use javascript what are you on about [03:43]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the people in question aren't really shy of their nazi 'fandom' [03:44]
asciilifeform check out their own sites [03:44]
blackwhite yup got it thanks. [03:44]
* ninjashogun has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) [03:44]
bloctoc actually, I had already clicked, but I don't understand the contract. I was trying to blame my inadequacy completely fabricated internet security problems. [03:44]
mircea_popescu well sure, but it's still a stretch [03:44]
mircea_popescu bloctoc ok, so what don't you understand ? [03:45]
asciilifeform i mean, what is one supposed to call folks chanting 'смерть жидам' and marching with Galician SS banners? [03:46]
mircea_popescu "idiots" works [03:46]
mircea_popescu it's purely a problem of terminology, see ? [03:46]
asciilifeform idiots of a particular rare variety, which survived in a curious 'nature preserve' for quite some time [03:47]
mircea_popescu as far as i recall the nazis raped ukraine pretty good, the notion someone there actually is much of a nazi is ridicxulous on its face to begin with. [03:47]
mircea_popescu right wing, i guess, "socialistically-challenged", whatever. [03:47]
asciilifeform if a zoologist were to speak of a lion, he wouldn't merely say 'panthera' [03:47]
mircea_popescu but those dudes aren't "nazis" in that sense. [03:47]
mircea_popescu they're more akin to the aryan union, actually. [03:48]
mircea_popescu heck, they're probably inspired by the aryan union. [03:48]
asciilifeform correct. except, with some non-negligible historical continuity with the actual nazis, which the american version lacks [03:49]
asciilifeform read their own turds, where the wankers proclaim 'i wanna finish what grandpa started' [03:49]
mircea_popescu which... you know, has to to with nazism about as much as mice and men with martin short and steven segall has to do with french impresionism [03:49]
mircea_popescu yeah yeah, but you know and i know it's entirely empty posturing. [03:49]
mircea_popescu what did his granpa start ? a kolhoz ? [03:50]
asciilifeform what would be needed for non-emptiness? a resurrected hitler? [03:50]
mircea_popescu for instance, a rejection of ukrainians as lower stock ? [03:50]
mircea_popescu an actual nazi party in the ukraine would be quite the schopenhauerian feat. [03:50]
asciilifeform but, what would be needed for it to qualify as a proper nazi party? merely the brand and logo? [03:51]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 50 @ 0.00424994 = 0.2125 BTC [-] [03:51]
mircea_popescu no, as i say. it can't be a proper nazi party for as long as it seriously contemplates accepting any ukrainian national in its ranks. [03:52]
mircea_popescu it's like telling me you could have a grandee armee in coventry. [03:52]
mircea_popescu no, you fucking can't, the french would have never taken any brits, ever, no matter what. [03:52]
asciilifeform ;;google galician ss [03:52]

mircea_popescu o wait, this is the glatz. [03:53]
asciilifeform this fellow is their ultimate hero. [03:53]
mircea_popescu supposedly a german land since fredrich. [03:53]
mircea_popescu listen, srsly, galicia doesn't count in this discussion. [03:54]
asciilifeform (not a russian fiction, but straight from the horse's mouth) [03:54]
mircea_popescu right. the equivalent of romania's iron guard's codreanu idjit. [03:54]
mircea_popescu but that's still not nazi. [03:54]
asciilifeform you're quite right that the actual, historic nazis are gone. [03:55]
asciilifeform what's left is... well, this. [03:55]
mircea_popescu and anyway! death to the jews ? [03:55]
mircea_popescu why aren't these qualifications for "loyal subjects of the king of aragon" ? [03:55]
mircea_popescu or for caterine de medicis ? [03:56]
asciilifeform this isn't even the interesting part about the west ua folks [03:56]
mircea_popescu "death to the jews" is, at least in europe, about as common as "open your legs, i'm not gonna do anything" [03:56]
asciilifeform what they want isn't to be merely left alone to run their historical (province of poland, really) agrarian pesthole [03:56]
asciilifeform they'd like to dominate the historically rus. west, and own the soviet-built factories which they had no part in creating [03:56]
mircea_popescu so that makes them neo nazis ?! [03:57]
* mjr_ has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) [03:57]
asciilifeform mostly to saw into scrap and sell to the nato block [03:57]
mircea_popescu i mean understand me, i am not proposing that either side or party or w/e active entity there is either respectable or in the right. [03:57]
mircea_popescu im merely saying that the neonazi label is about as approximative as calling them "knights of the cuisinart", or freemasons. [03:58]
asciilifeform nah, marching around in ss garb makes them. you gotta appreciate how this makes them an almost physiological allergen to anyone who grew up even vaguely russian. [03:58]
mircea_popescu and inasmuch as this is the case, which exact label one picks serves as a group identification. if you use the russian propaganda terminology you basically are throwing up a flag and little more. [03:58]
mircea_popescu ah, cause the "great patriotic war" stuff ? [03:58]
mircea_popescu "Unlike competing Polish, Russian, Hungarian or Romanian nationalisms in late imperial Austria, imperial Russia, interwar Poland and Romania, Ukrainian nationalism did not include antisemitism as a core aspect of its program and saw Russians as well as Poles as the chief enemy with Jews playing a secondary role." lmao. [03:59]
* jakov has quit (Quit: Leaving) [03:59]
mircea_popescu shithole didn't even have jews in the first place. [03:59]
asciilifeform who did the jerries plug at babi yar? martians? [04:00]
mircea_popescu hm this is a point. [04:01]
mircea_popescu so then what, were the jews in ukraine mostly settled farmers ? [04:01]
mircea_popescu o yes, because beyond the pale huh [04:01]
asciilifeform smallholders, petty merchants [04:01]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 282 @ 0.0043109 = 1.2157 BTC [+] {5} [04:02]
asciilifeform people who apply 'human morality' to the logic of empire are weird. [04:04]
asciilifeform from the standpoint of americans, it is a beautiful thing if poland, ua, baltics, etc. are stuffed with as many missile bases as physically fit, aimed at moscow [04:04]
asciilifeform from the standpoint of russia, not so beautiful [04:04]
mircea_popescu well sure. [04:05]
* JorgePasada has quit (Quit: Textual IRC Client: www.textualapp.com) [04:05]
asciilifeform likewise, americans ought to - and will - dance in the streets if the port at sevastopol is conquered and the russian fleet can no longer interfere with the u.s. syrian demolition derby [04:06]
mircea_popescu but listen, had orlov called them "privileged male chauvinist pigs" i'd have went "whoa, when did this guy join the blue side" [04:06]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [AM100] 60 @ 0.00611787 = 0.3671 BTC [-] [04:06]
mircea_popescu there's approximately 0% chances of sevastopol falling this year. [04:06]
asciilifeform sure. [04:06]
bloctoc for the logs, I will be changing my handle to tacostorm soon [04:07]
mircea_popescu well that's it, by then syria's done. [04:07]
asciilifeform orlov's position, as far as i can tell, is that u.s. inherited the crown of idiocy worn by the old ussr [04:08]
asciilifeform and that anyone who interferes with it's doings, for whatever purpose, is to be applauded [04:09]
mircea_popescu but in what terms ? [04:10]
mircea_popescu that's always been the question of the independent thinker, [04:10]
mircea_popescu as hamlet plainly states. [04:10]
asciilifeform it is not easy to describe, accurately and completely, the nato block's policy of nation-wrecking using something other than 'russian' terms. but you're welcome to try. [04:11]
asciilifeform i, for one, would like to read the result. [04:11]
mircea_popescu but calling people "neonazis" describes nothing, and especially not accurately or completely. [04:11]
mircea_popescu in fact, pretty much anything else would work better. [04:11]
asciilifeform it isn't orlov's (or putin's) fault that the west ua folks insist on becoming something out of a comic book [04:12]
assbot [HAVELOCK] [NEOBEE] 50 @ 0.0043299 = 0.2165 BTC [+] [04:12]
asciilifeform omitting the 'nazi' would be quite like, were they to wear clown suits while doing their thing, to omit mention of said suits. [04:12]
mircea_popescu well, nationalist movements in the 21st century. it's gonna be pretty comedic. [04:12]

mircea_popescu asciilifeform anyway, in sum, you're saying he's just whatever, too tired to even invent a name for the idiots so he's going with neo nazi ? [04:16]
mircea_popescu Duffer1 every vote cunts. [04:16]
asciilifeform actually there is a beautiful russian name widely in use now [04:17]
asciilifeform 'майдауны' [04:17]

Duffer1 yes has 1007 votes, no has 31 votes [04:18]
ThickAsThieves I'll be there for your crucifixion, and there when no apostles are left [04:18]
asciilifeform mr. o's problem, as it often is, is that he blogs in english. [04:18]
mircea_popescu haha maidanik ? [04:18]
ThickAsThieves this is my gospel [04:18]
mircea_popescu maidownik [04:18]
asciilifeform yeah something like that [04:18]
mircea_popescu see, if he had called them maidowniks i'd have been in awe of his fucking expressivity [04:19]
mircea_popescu five hours later, when i'd have finally figured it [04:19]
asciilifeform as always, when using a technical pidgin like english, everybody loses something. [04:19]
mircea_popescu it can be made to work [04:19]
asciilifeform yes. [04:19]
mircea_popescu it just needs to be beaten black and blue and then fucked raw. [04:19]
asciilifeform i personally have attempted, on occasion, to make it go. [04:19]
mircea_popescu why do you think he was called "shake spear" [04:19]
asciilifeform lol [04:20]

mircea_popescu dude srsly ? [04:24]
mircea_popescu you can not be my apostle anymore. [04:24]
mircea_popescu that's like the third most overused gif on the internet. [04:24]
Shakespeare fuck you i love it [04:24]
Shakespeare no matter how used she is [04:24]
Shakespeare i enjoy her swagger [04:24]

mircea_popescu "No Mircia, US isn't confused, just disgusted with thugs like #Putin" [04:28]
mircea_popescu derp. [04:28]
mircea_popescu putin should come out of the closet as a furry or something, just to troll reddit. [04:29]
Shakespeare Putin is doing pretty well with his branding as is [04:29]
Shakespeare basically seens as the cuddly mobster with a beach bod [04:30]
Shakespeare seen* [04:30]
mircea_popescu if he did more craigkate type of stuff it'd be riotous. [04:30]
asciilifeform putin's position with respect to the u.s. is roughly similar to mpex vs. the btc wankiverse [04:30]
mircea_popescu this is the problem with large organisations and old people, they aren't in touch with the kids anymore, dunno how to really hurt them. [04:31]
asciilifeform the latter has nothing the former needs [04:31]
mircea_popescu a steady stream of "putin takes stance on making kremlin toilets use recycled paper" bs would do wonders. [04:31]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform yes, but you will notice that mpex has mpoe-pr doing a lot of fun stuff [04:31]
Shakespeare mp will you pay for my ticket from Romania to Amsterdam to go to the Bitcoin 2014 conference and call out Jon Matonis with a crowd present? [04:31]

asciilifeform the fellow he pays to take photos of him hugging (or, occasionally, shooting and stuffing) large fauna are analogous to the pr. [04:32]
Shakespeare amd/or Marco Santori [04:32]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform notrly, he doesn't have reddit comments going "reading putin's pr chick makes me physically hurt" [04:33]

Shakespeare would you at least pay for my hash? [04:33]

mircea_popescu "The Piraeus bond deal underscores both the continued improvement in the perception of Greece’s economy as well as the flood of cash in the financial system that has depressed returns on debt of all stripes." [04:35]

mircea_popescu i'll tell you who. all the people with worthless cash. [04:36]
Shakespeare maybe if they all trade bonds for bonds enough between countries, all the debt will go away [04:36]
Shakespeare that's the idea right? [04:37]
mircea_popescu yeah, like if you have sex with a lot of 3 year olds your hiv will be cured. [04:37]
Shakespeare kick the can, it's barely got a dent! [04:37]
mircea_popescu thestringpuller that's in like late april. [04:38]
mircea_popescu The current digital currency narrative, while certainly attractive to entrepreneurs, venture capital, and the media, is extremely "First World" in nature. And a primary question remains -- do such innovations, as we know them today, address the needs of consumers and businesses on both sides of an international transaction? [04:38]
mircea_popescu derp. [04:38]
mircea_popescu how can there be so much derp available ? [04:38]
asciilifeform the one inexhaustible natural resource. [04:39]
mircea_popescu it's like... nobody ever puts in a derp order that goes unfilled by the derpgods ? [04:39]

asciilifeform by some accounts, we have the u.s. newspapers (circa '50s-60s) to thank for the popularity of this practice. [04:59]

mircea_popescu you have like 30% chances to develop some types of liver cancer etc. [05:01]

asciilifeform might just be an 'irritation threshhold' phenomenon. [05:01]
mircea_popescu that's a brand name. [05:01]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform what i read suggested it's the presence of particular enzimatic pathways [05:01]
mircea_popescu like some people think peanut butter smells awful [05:01]

asciilifeform 'normal' phenotype doesn't really get to smell the gasoline, he goes 'aargh' from his nose dissolving a little [05:02]

Shakespeare a lot [05:02]
mircea_popescu so do most dogs [05:02]

asciilifeform the beast isn't really built to deal with plant toxins [05:04]

nubbins` there's mixed opinions on whether tomatoes are bad for cats [05:05]
Shakespeare same cat will play fetch too [05:05]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform yeah. but also a lot of variation there. [05:05]
nubbins` altho TBH people thought tomatoes were bad for people until what, the 1800s? [05:05]
mircea_popescu nubbins` that was due to the lead. [05:05]
asciilifeform a plant toxin the eater can't 'deal with' is poison, or drug, depending on dose and aesthetics [05:05]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform i kept proposing people to make catnip illegal in the us [05:05]
nubbins` i figured it was because it's from the nightshade family [05:05]
mircea_popescu very few got the high quality trolling they were blessed with. [05:05]
nubbins` either way, imagine being the guy who discovered tomatoes are awesome [05:06]
mircea_popescu nubbins` no. this was chiefly a us phenomenon. the us at the time was poor and lazy, so most of their flatware was made of lead. [05:06]
mircea_popescu guess what happens to lead that's washed in aciding tomato juice. [05:06]
asciilifeform if catnip worked on man like it does on cat, i doubt it would be permitted even in the u.s. botanical garden. [05:06]

mircea_popescu Shakespeare yes. a democracy can never produce art. give the plebs the vote, you've ended painting, and music. [05:40]

Shakespeare what if the women become self-aware in this way [05:41]
mircea_popescu what if i knew what the words you use mean. [05:41]
Shakespeare and seek to institutionalize sifficient reproduction [05:41]
Shakespeare sufficient* [05:41]
mircea_popescu but they wouldn't. [05:42]
asciilifeform Shakespeare: scroll up for coin-operated public impregnatrons. [05:42]
Shakespeare because they wouldnt care to [05:42]
mircea_popescu not exactly. [05:42]
chetty pass a law that the wind can not blow? [05:42]
asciilifeform (2024: listed as 'S.POOJ.' ye read it here phirst.) [05:43]
Shakespeare i do suppose the nature of male is still quite that it would seek to dominate [05:43]
mircea_popescu Shakespeare now, getting back to your original q, economic independence is not problematic, just as long as its not backed by legal independence. [05:43]
mircea_popescu this is why jooz mostly survived, and middle east models allow for stable populations. [05:44]
mircea_popescu places like cyprus say. [05:44]
mircea_popescu while the economy is in fact wholly controlled by matriarchs, nevertheless they have no legal rights. [05:44]
Shakespeare and this whole perspective is more likely the more intellectual root of conservative americans concerns for the sancitity of the family? [05:44]
Shakespeare sanctity* [05:45]
mircea_popescu it's an unclear intuition in their turbid heads of something that's factually there. [05:45]
asciilifeform 'intellectual root of conservative americans' concerns mainly the rust on their truck mufflers. [05:45]
mircea_popescu "if woman is not held slave to man, society ends". [05:45]
Shakespeare this certainly adds much-needed depth to their behavior [05:46]
mircea_popescu yes. [05:46]
mircea_popescu because merely saying "these people are stupid" is rather poor sociology. [05:46]
mircea_popescu stupid they may well be. [05:46]
mircea_popescu but why stupid this way rather than that still needs to be explained. [05:46]
Shakespeare same for being anti-gay i suppose [05:46]
mircea_popescu i have no idea why they'd be anti gay. [05:47]
Shakespeare where will raping men get us [05:47]
Shakespeare nowhere [05:47]
mircea_popescu i don't believe this works that far. [05:47]
mircea_popescu the romans were very openly pro-gay and worked just fine. [05:47]
Shakespeare hmm [05:47]
mircea_popescu what men do to each other does not matter in any sense. [05:47]
asciilifeform 'no idea why they'd be anti gay' << same reason as in russia, as described by mr. o - 'As Prof. Cohen recently pointed out, prior to Americans' gay rights agitation, Russian gays used to be called “faggots”; now they are being called “American faggots,” and gay rights in Russia have taken a giant leap back.' [05:48]
Shakespeare and this Garden movie, still required watching you think? [05:48]
chetty don't confuse anti-gay with protect marriage - the roman gay still married and had children [05:48]
mircea_popescu which garden movie ? [05:48]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform perhaps simple knee jerk "no no no no no no " [05:48]
Shakespeare "Gardens of the Night (a 2008, also with John Malkovichiv) is yet another installment in that man’s awesome, ruefully complete, atrociously honest, blithely limpid discussion of the divine cunt. " [05:48]
mircea_popescu a yes. [05:48]
mircea_popescu it must be seen. [05:49]
Shakespeare i hope netlflix has it [05:49]

asciilifeform and its actual motivations [05:51]
asciilifeform same dynamic. [05:51]
mircea_popescu i dun believe it, tbh. they're "concerned" about gay rights for much simpler reasons, [05:51]
mircea_popescu which are purely economical. [05:51]
mircea_popescu ie : how do poor would-be "CEO"s create a rent extractive engine ? [05:52]
mircea_popescu why, by making an overseas ngo doing something like protecting gay rights. [05:52]
asciilifeform freshly-uplifted 'bullied' folks can be relied upon as lackeys [05:52]
mircea_popescu now they get to travel, which excusesd them from owning a house, [05:52]
mircea_popescu and they can ask their rich friends for money [05:52]
Shakespeare the line i feel the most, in the whole thing, is this: "If you can do anything it’ll be hard actually doing anything." [05:52]
Shakespeare that cloud has hung over me many times in life [05:53]
mircea_popescu Shakespeare my mother had me at 21, which was a reasonable time to have a kid at the time, towards the end of one's secondary studies. [05:53]
mircea_popescu she was in a room with a 17yo and a 18yo girl. [05:53]

okcjosh whats the going consensus on the GHS futures at cex.io [05:56]
okcjosh ? [05:56]
Shakespeare it seems the more blurred this line between man and woman, the more discontent is bred [05:56]
mircea_popescu okcjosh you'll have to be more specific. [05:56]
mircea_popescu Shakespeare people often misrepresent their boredom and pointlessness as "discontent" [05:57]
okcjosh will it pay off? Right now a may GHS is around 33% the price of a live GHS. Does buying 3 times as many GHS for may have a good chance of paying out more, based on estimated Diff increase? [05:57]

thestringpuller how would physical delivery keep you from having to deliver infinite usd? [18:29]
B0g4r7_ benkay bettyclamp bgupta BigBitz BingoBoingo bit14 blackwhite bloctoc bounce Bunnyh bwq [18:29]
mircea_popescu thestringpuller because you could sell 1trn hashes per contract or somesuch. [18:29]
kakobrekla but infinite usd is not impossible [18:29]
ThickAsThieves lol [18:29]
mircea_popescu kakobrekla it is nao, since you booted bernanke [18:30]
mike_c i don't see the problem. 350 contracts sold over the last 30 days by someone who didn't understand. so they lost .1 btc and now they understand. [18:30]
kakobrekla cant be booted if one doesnt join in the first place [18:30]
mike_c everyone else understood, and didn't trade. [18:30]
thestringpuller infinity is not finite, it's unreachable someone might as well physically deliver you a printer [18:30]
ThickAsThieves the "problem" is not a problem in that sense [18:30]
thestringpuller or a fed print shop [18:30]
BingoBoingo Maybe being Satoshi was Bernake's way of hating his day job [18:30]
ThickAsThieves it is more an issue of optimizing the product [18:30]
ThickAsThieves to increase usage [18:30]
mircea_popescu mike_c i guess so. was it actually one party doing it ? [18:31]
ThickAsThieves assuming the goal is for action to occur on mpex [18:31]
mike_c there were only a few bids up above the cap. the seller was likely probably one person :) [18:31]
ThickAsThieves there's certainly more market to be had [18:31]
ThickAsThieves look at bitbets [18:32]
ThickAsThieves and these deprived schemes [18:32]
ThickAsThieves B.SELL etc [18:32]
mircea_popescu surely. [18:32]
ThickAsThieves so you can cling to the current design and blame the user [18:33]
mircea_popescu BingoBoingo http://bitbet.us/bet/790/mpex-to-become-sec-recognized-sro-in-2014#b3 [18:33]
ThickAsThieves or you can accept that you do have power over the design [18:33]
ThickAsThieves and seize teh day [18:33]
mircea_popescu power over the design i have, but over reality i do not. [18:33]
ThickAsThieves so allow ability for writer to publisj the cap [18:34]
ThickAsThieves jurov solved this issue long ago [18:34]
mike_c so the suggestion is contracts with different caps? [18:34]
ThickAsThieves you could even have multiple listings, like options [18:34]
ThickAsThieves all with different caps [18:34]
mircea_popescu derp. [18:34]

davout haha [22:24]
Perlboy ninjashogun, no they are typically promoted either a) Because they stroked egos and didn't create any issues [or covered them up to people who would be concerned] or b) Were found to be incompetent but were stuck in the organisation so were promoted to a position where they couldn't fuck things up [22:24]

davout ninjashogun: you may be confusing value with technical debt [22:26]
Perlboy hack it together and we'll have to rewrite every X years [22:26]

asciilifeform and the Official Party Line of usg is... wait for it... [22:27]
davout ninjashogun: just because you're never going to repay it doesn't change the nature of a debt, it's still a debt [22:28]
asciilifeform that winblows is 'certified secure' because it has fine-grained access permissions. [22:28]
Perlboy umm, so, there's nothing wrong with windows being used for all banking applications [22:28]
Perlboy just make sure you price in a few hundred firewalls [22:29]
moiety ninjashogun, dear, when you begin by talking about incompetence of managers and people that make food... you cannot really switch to a whole company that is comprised of millions of them. #consistency [22:29]
Perlboy which fwiw you'd have to have anyway regardless of os [22:29]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform hahaha what [22:29]
davout ninjashogun: sounds like a point [22:29]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: seriously, winblows is mandatory, and that's the 'reasoning' [22:30]
asciilifeform used by usg [22:30]
