| pete_dushenski | but other targets might not pay is the thing | [17:38] |
| pete_dushenski | once one target has coughed up danegeld, surely they'll continue | [17:38] |
| jurov | also, it's not "windows" thing. plenty of linux servers were backdoored, but there it's more profitable/convenient to resell the server resources that to extort the admin | [17:40] |
| jurov | *than to | [17:40] |
| pete_dushenski | wait, so hackers backdoor linux server and resell hosting on it, unbeknownst to the 'owner' of the box ? | [17:41] |
| jurov | yes, usually they "host" malware there | [17:42] |
| jurov | but server with good pipe has million uses | [17:42] |
| pete_dushenski | aha. anyways, for casinos specifically, it ~is~ a windows thing. at least for the operations around here. | [17:42] |
| pete_dushenski | their portable machines run windows ce even | [17:43] |
| jurov | you see - they are used to pay for licenses. whether to m$ or to extortionist, makes a little difference | [17:46] |
| jurov | hm, that makes me wonder how many businesses are paying for such "protection" every month already | [17:49] |
| pete_dushenski | in most of the world, most. whether it's greasing the local mob or the local bureaucrat makes little practical difference. it's the way of the world. | [17:52] |
| pete_dushenski | this 'protection'/extortion business model could be just the gravity well extractor that guys like asciilifeform need. it can even be done from laptop on beach! | [17:52] |
| jurov | but if your mobster has access to *all* your data and communication... that's another level | [17:53] |
| jurov | asciilifeform explicitly rejects anything he'd have to pay taxes from, that's lost cause | [17:54] |

| pete_dushenski | Pearce writes that these walls “extended for some 16,000 km in all, in a mosaic of more than 500 interconnected settlement boundaries. They covered 6,500 sq km and were all dug by the Edo people … They took an estimated 150 million hours of digging to construct, and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet”." | [17:59] |

| cazalla_ | as for soda (fizzy drink tax), nfi about the UK, but that consumption of that has been on the decline here for years | [18:48] |
| cazalla_ | i imagine obesity is more the result of icecream for breakfast than occasional coke | [18:49] |
| jurov | i knew people who drank liter or two of coke daily | [18:51] |
| BingoBoingo | The idiocracy guy was wrong here in the states. In future 'Murica carbonation will be "what plants crave" | [18:52] |
| pete_dushenski | cazalla_: better ice cream for breakfast than at midnight | [18:52] |
| cazalla_ | jurov sure, but how common is that today? for example, coca cola amatil (aussie coke listed company) expanded into indonesia and it has been a disaster, no-one wants their shit | [18:52] |
| jurov | dunno about indonesia, in eastern europe very common. even my dad can't be convinced not to buy it | [18:54] |
| pete_dushenski | bucharesti kid i know, bout my age, drinks 2l of coke per day. smokes pretty heavily too. | [18:55] |
| pete_dushenski | this is only seen in lower class canadians but is apparently perfectly reasonable in middle class romanians | [18:55] |
