only 12 light years so if the probe is bigger than a foton it might take more than a few duracell to get there, im afraid of the position of this solar system has us fucked in biblical proportions, this might as well be hell, making me the fallen angel cast out from the heavens never to return. I bet my coppers on level 1 kardashev, i dont see what else could get any of us out of the hole here. But in Trumpian times it seems unlikely, bosliefje
uhuh, this is getting out of hand ? so what are your references ? i was born on mars with tits ? i dont want to be demeaning but how could any woman with a logical mind needed for IT not see the nonsense in feminism over skill in business ?
its absurd, positive discrimination is STILL discrimination
dot Ulz... i was thinking something similar.... "maybe americans dont but I SURE AS HELL DO"...
pardon my superlative non french way of saying that seems to bother people and after 20 years i still havent figured out why like love is a fourletterword but sex is not until its fuck ?
i must be missing something
Ah , political correctness and the megacorp.... or how to regulate a free market in soviet belgium , i mean, america ofcourse... if you're stupid enough to let gender, colour, dick size or how many sex operations or whats on their head get in the way of whos the best for the job i dont think you'll get very megacorp from scratch in the 2000s... if you're forced to get equal over best man for the job, you'll get parliaments and senates where everythings divided nicely by colour , dicks and tits but the best people are left in an asslicking position b/c sorry man, we needed to fill the ranks in the name of pc principal
im not down with that and if you let it get in the way of business cos your convictions in personal life then you're an idiot
best man/woman/thing/undecided for the job is the only way, or is it not ? fuck pc
it fails to say how much subsidies the total of politicians has received wether they attend daily or not . Its probably better spend on musk than most of them. I dont know if twitter got subsidized for never making a cent ? they sure sold out when going public despite that. I dont know about overthere but theres this daily program on tv (or used to be) where they broadcast live from brussels... its like you can almost see the wind blowing through and you expect tumbleweeds to follow, thats how empty that hall is... so i think most of them could be totally missed and not paid while musk at least tries something (other than put ads online). As for world hunger : the solution is to stop breeding, not deprive tek and science (imnsho)
i suppose "we should make them kids watch more television and read books from libraries again?"
and then forget how google and facebook came into existence... but that might not be such a bad thing since do no evil is euh... an urban legend i think by now
besides... tape recorders made the beatles into beggars since those kids wouldnt stop copying... public libraries might be under scrutiny soon enough since all those books inthere are actually non-piratable... its a bit of "how the law is its own bullshit again" and im running off topic and short on time for the day...
"willing to bet on" and "bet against him" , makes it sound so wild wild west, professional and totally planned xD... tsch , the land of Edison... if it wasnt for the opportunities then what would it be without the military huh ?
yea well, the question is, do i need it ? or do i need it to brag to my-phone-is-bigger-than-yours-boy ?
2 of my 3 pcs have a bloody celeron cpu in it, they do everything i need them to with flying colours running linux, i doubt they would boot windows 10 in under an hour though, but linux works at normal speeds in a graphical environment (and theres no directx on linux anyway worth mentioning)... the other one has an amd am3+ socket still which, combined with a gtx970 runs about everything i need up til now so
intel... since i dont really do my-phone-is-bigger-than-yours-contests
tell me why i need one ?
the "it wasnt me" seems to be getting just a little out of hand. Ive always wondered when the fivegovernment state of Hellgium was going to introduce carbon tax for breathing and farting... after last years VAT increase from 6 to 21% on electricity (making it a luxury good in fact) i thought it wasnt far away.
I'll tell my cat to eat less meat while i drive my 4x4 gasguzzling RAM around then... professor has too much time on its hands... I KNOW, all meat eating things should be replaced with electric cars that dream of sheep with a low carbon footprint and a plug up their ass to provide methane for musks space program !!!!
How about euh... baby-sapients spawn ? the amount of shit and pampers must be quite something ? who's up for birth control ?
uhuh, as usual since the day the cassette recorder destroyed the beatles and made them beg homeless under a bridge, its the lack of parenting cos daddy looks cool swiping and mommy is on facebook all day... agreed... thats what makes your little shits so shitty
Well, i wast thinking about the same , along the lines of : if these people get involved its about control, not protection. I can understand the need to put your hancock on a piece of paper no one looks at five years from now in the illusion that its legacy (they seem to be big on that... making history and all, while we all know history, at best for a few thousand years is reserved for only the greatest mass murderers and direct descendants of representatives of one of the one true gods, otherwise if you're lucky your name can live a few hundred... thats like isaac newton lucky then)
So in effect this comes down to,lets spend million on committees (happen to be filled with experts (as its called) who happen to be, each and every one of them connected to some holding or megacorp in one way or anothers... superlounging lobby lizzards) so the flaw in the system starts there. Bias and favoritism
Its always scary when people like that try to "regulate" a system that is actually constantly regulating itself. Devcon the latest isnt even cold yet, its constantly working netflix ddosses itself to check on how to prevent it, all without regulation, two guys with a drone set off a whole street of "smart bulbs", a dude with a magnet hacks a smartgun... no one asked them too... in the end these guys might end up being criminals because they "didnt folllow protocol"... i think maybe they should stick to having coctail parties with tax money and looking good in that 10k suit cos this is not gonna end up for the better (as usual)... o , sirs and madams, ask around, preferably with people who would be "respected" in the scene and have a bit of an attitude problem (meaning they dont lick your ass to get ahead cos you dont pay them and they wouldnt take your money anyway)
dont take my word for it...:)
gods dam,/. still hasnt gotten to the extra edit button, which is actually good, hacked accounts cant edit or delete your posts (y)... i was forgetting something, its something i maybe shouldnt say cos fuck the system that fucked me but i feel the urge to show the high and mighty in the towers of mordor the futility of their efforts and the waste of all those millions used to make it happen and the committees and the meetings (i suppose they still dont drink tapwater)... 17 years ago, when i was "down and out" as they say and left with little choices, i got picked up, not by the secretary of state but by an old friend... uni-level degree, good job, good parents, totally stuck in the wrong demographic (like me, lol)... who was doing some... ahem, business on the side selling somewhat mind altering substances... he kinda saved me there, with a side of systemdamage, so i started running for him and actually since we're like years and years back and about the same level it soon was 50/50 so i started devising (there wasnt really much smart about phones) a system to order by phone (because sms is kept for one or two years here so no "salesman" really likes getting orders by phone in which the actual message meant nothing but the punctuation everything. exclamation mark for speed... question mark how are you doing ?? for two grams of something...no encryption... and then theres like the next level of nationalism where the cops come up to two men walk into a bar and say , sir , you are speaking encrypted language (cos they dont speak english) theres euh postal pigeons lol and if nothing your terrerizts there have proven by now its that they're fucking resourceful and all you are gonna do is be able to spy on those real people of yours and thats what your money's gonna getcha. Take it from a cat with scars, mister president euh... councilwoman, euh what was it ?
no but i'm not sure how it wouldnt be linked to a person if you used it to pay anything with it online theres always a trace and as far as i know the blockchain still keeps every single transaction forever (i havent been paying attention that much so maybe thats changed) i thought the only way to be truly anonymous was to exchange mined bitcoins on a flashdrive ? and maybe then some i dont know, im not satoshi or taaki-level on the kardashev scale of cryptophilia:)
But this whole bitcoin transactions is anonymous thing has been a myth from the start, au contraire, since it stays inthere it can always be traced from origin to recipient so if one of those is linked to some account on some provider or payment system your anonimity's gone , as far as i understand it... i'm always up to be enlightened (with facts, not flames:D
other than that i think "real people" have a choice wether they encrypt or not, i hear the story a lot in police state belgium "why would you if you have nothing to hide"
well, why dont you dance naked in front of the window then every morning ?
right ?
apparently yes, but i dont think you'll get anywhere near them:D
might i recomment "the putin interviews"... thats some eye opening five episodes of putin in your face, call him what you will but he did it, i dont think russia is that easy a place to manage really
the series is REALLY worth checking its a grand piece by Oliver Stone, quite... modded 'informative' lol
i doubt this is a classic european type bullshit much law , check the best functioning countries in europe, luxembourg is about a dot-sized euh dot on the map yet it has held its own since like forever, for some reason i still dont understand why they adopted the euro, i dont think they needed it, UK, poland , i dont know norway, switzerland... these people dont make rash decisions that dont benefit them. I doubt this will work out bad, eyes on the future. They're basically saying : if you're in the business, bring your money here , they always been a bankers niche, used to be ichiban place where all the surroundings took their off the books money (i speak decades ago since these days tax evasion is the number one terrorism after copying cds or downloading.
im sure they thought it over and the legales will be dot-perfect text
theres a lot of confusion on europe in the us because europe is nothing like it. Its not really "united"... its a paper union... hundred year wars couldnt unite it, the fracking nazis couldnt unite it, so they came up with a grand idea to unite it on paper and now it works as well as belgium (feel free to check the history on how belgium got created) the united states were born , first from all the european scum and edisonians that couldnt cut here or were prosecuted who fled the continent looking for a place where they could set their own rules, then it was baptised in fire and blood over one hell of a civil war. It is (probably not always from your point of view) "united" , europe is nothing like it, this reversion of free movement of person and goods is im afraid only the beginning since whatever they try only seems to fuel the hate and its like they're handing it to the right AND leftwing fanatics and separatists on a silver platter... exclamations like "terrorism is the new normal in cities" dont really help to control the xenophobia either. If i were to poll the 100people living closest to my house here, im almost 99% sure id get at least 90% who think the EU does nothing but add another layer of government ( read taxes) to a country that already has five (for 11 mln people), the "president" of the EU is nothing like your Trump, whackjob though he might be he clearly demands respect lol. No one "fears" the european military and its really not going all too well on anything but television, just check places like poland, or the leftwing in italy rising (the extremist part)
plus : for some reason they have the idea that they're capable of carrying the weight of the world, so the surplus of refugees they actually let in also gives rise to extremist signal fires
but it probably looks nice on tv... i dont know what washington is like... i hope to visit it one day but if you come to brussels dump me a mail, i'll show you around in a circle of about a km around the high towers of mordor:)
its a mess
ah, +1 for right on spot... microsoft is what made me start a chinese flash drive collection. I come home one day, i cant get on skype. Three days later i still cant, i succeed in getting some cs rep with a title half an email long to reply. Says i "violated the agreement"... i say : what did i do
the dude bluntly stated :
"we dont have to give you a reason and this is the last communication you will receive on this"
so i didnt get to backup anything from my onedrive, lost all skype contacts and im left guessing as to what exactly i breached so
no more cloud for me unless i have cold backups, its easy and i'll use the free bits (its just personal use ofcourse) but if my data isnt mine then i seriously wouldnt consider paying for it and im simply not going to use it anymore, xept google photos to some extent since i can dump unlimited, i can dump, clear my cards and sort later, other than that i found a nice tool on linux b/c of that
( sudo apt-get -y install f3 #f3write f3read f3probe f3fix test flash drives for ) see for yourself, its nice to find out which drive is actually what it says if you collect lots of cheap ones
but i still lost a few people i liked talking to and a lot of data that has zero but emotional value and thus cannot be replace b/c i believed (how stupid is that) my data was stored more safe than iit would be on a flash drive or an ssd at home and seeing as i did some math... $40 for 120gb ssd kingston which is said to last 1 million hours of actual usage, compared to a yearly sub for 120gb cloud storage... thats not even a choice that has to be made lol
and before i get flagged off-topic... i can see only one reason why they would, because they're edisonians, just to pite ideas they can get for free and put it in mastodont-OS 11, agreed:) microfascst *** f***s
i think this is one of those recurring meta-topic discussions, the bottomline spans a lot of topics, the root might be the chicken and the egg... pen and paper-humans can be bribed, and wether they like it or not have up front both a personal preference (likely) and a certain strength of moral compass which might not even need third party interference to alter results a bit here and a bit there actually. Its like pretending cops always tell the truth since they are "under oath" whereas robocop might be hacked unless any of them is superman ofcourse
like saying bitcoin facilitates crime, and the dollar never did since al capone didnt get rich on moonshine using bitcoins, neither did escobar and afaik most major carttels in anything be it legal or illegal will use dollar since that amount of money in a blockchain would cause a datastorm that would attract attention
which brings us to the next : in the wake of everyone already doing it ten years after the fact, including banks and regulateors : next up : government looks into blockchain technology to secure voting machines... (and satoshi goes lulz and old men in suits go, why would some scruffy squat rats build something like that, not patent it, and then simply disappear from the planet ?)
after that, chapter next up : the A.I. in charge of counting votes decided it was best for the planet if HALL-E 9001 won the election so it 'chose'
and so on....
lol omg... yea this is edgy... like edgy and stuff, in soviet europe merkel would be on it and skinhead houses would be searched at this very moment looking for evidence of hatespeech... and i dont know how far off that is and btw, the russians had molotov coctails and scorched earth, they still wiped the nazis ass with dysentery and "shit" like that
i guess apple is doing what in america and europe would be called "complying to the law" lol
sad but true huh ? so where's the factories with the million jobs ? they're still cook'in ?
lol... i guess if you earn that much you CAN leave the nation xD... if its shouting for sympathy i think it will fall on deaf ears considering most trump voters, im not sure how progressive progressive is, it should be complex algorithm depending on how much actual work you stick into it to some ? like for instance you pay a team of analysts to write HFT algorithms, you make money while sleeping, you can actually afford to pay a little more since you got plenty of time to make more with the more that you make. You got a boat building company that sells handcrafted from the cog to the steering wheel and you work seven days of 16 hours , well maybe you deserve a little more of a break. Its very hard to find a one size fits all here i think but as said, i dont think anyone's gonna pity people who make $300k if they have to pay more cos most of us dont lol. Such an unfair world hm. How about taxing politicians ? i dont know if american senators and whatever have to but in belgium and actually the whole EU wages are tax-free... in belgium that can make up to euh maybe 60% (its crazy sometimes especially for labour business like gardeners and people who lay driveways and put fences and stuff taxes are fracking crazy if they DONT do seven days and some off the books its virtually not worth it lol
and then some... its a proposition, right ? not a law yet
i have seen countless job-plans in hellgium here, all of them amount to one thing : cheap or free labour for companies, you dont learn shit, they dont teach you shit, they dont have to pay you shit, and when the period is over they kick you out and they dont hire you cos they get subsidized for the next one and all you get to do is (pardon my american english) shit shit (and more shit) and no real work, its (in short) imo bull-shit, but every corp will laud it since it practically slavelabour
i dont believe in it, unpaid work is prone to profiteering i dont believe in it for one second
dunno... "back in the day" when my old man was heavy into neo-nationalism and him and all his friends were gun-collectors... sidearms, longrifles, scopes... you know, all those toys for boys, i once got a chance to fire one those m-15 (m-16?) as a kid (no clue cos im not into that. He put a lock on the trunk with the ammo so no matter how i was scoping passersby with a snipe... i couldnt really shoot anything lol
was kinda smart (sounds a bit american maybe but it was kinda trendy here 20-30 years ago) they did a huge sweep in flanders, maybe whole belgium, gave everyone a chance to turn in their armory without prosecution (like you cant get licenses for military grade equipment or grenades and stuff you know... those collector thingies for adult boys with toys)
So i never shot anyone... not even when i was like totally miffed or pissed off or had been in a fight, not even when i was enough to crack a lock lol
maybe its in your nature, i personally never had a gun in my life.
Radiojammer seems kinda easy to carry around if its the new thing in law-enforcement. Did he try broken open microwaves lol ?
So there's room for improvement then ?
(oh the vmo got disbanded and its no longer trendy, its just very racist lol... well a lot of people are, its just the spirit of the place, its why i fit in so well i guess)
good old days memories... i dont think a smart gun is a good thing to have if it can be jammed easily, i think you're better off with classics like a glock or if you wanna bling a desert eagle, and put it in a safe where your kid cant get to it. No jamming the glock lol
good, enough remniniscing and yea i do think a gun that cant be jammed with "another smart watch on the intruders arm is definitely the better option when it comes to... whats it called ? personal defense ! )
You just have to be a so-called responsible parent and maybe if you like having guns in the house teach your kid from very young age what they are. I knew pretty fast as a very little kid to never point anything at people i wasnt gonna shoot, not even when its not loaded. Got more than an earful in case lol olol... im sad he sold off the blade collection though, all those daggers and blades, that was cool guns dont really speak to me (maybe good who knows what might have happened instead by now)
you cant videoconference tourism. Ticket price in half would be way out of awesome league so im guessing that wont happen, it just means they can squeeze twice the amount of money out of the same day. I dont think this will benefit consumers at all as usual and (im speaking purely tourism) its the ticket price that holds back... go to anywhere in europe from brussels you pay like 200 to 500, iceland might be 1500 its ridiculous. Go outside like nepal thailand whatever china, all nice places to visit and dirt cheap to spend time but it cost like 2 months pay for a plane ticket.
so here's asking : if you know gods who care : pray this halves the ticked price theres lots of world i need to see

ah, +1 for right on spot ... microsoft is what made me start a chinese flash drive collection. I come home one day, i cant get on skype. Three days later i still cant, i succeed in getting some cs rep with a title half an email long to reply. Says i "violated the agreement" ... i say : what did i do
the dude bluntly stated :
"we dont have to give you a reason and this is the last communication you will receive on this"
so i didnt get to backup anything from my onedrive, lost all skype contacts and im left guessing as to what exactly i breached so
no more cloud for me unless i have cold backups, its easy and i'll use the free bits (its just personal use ofcourse) but if my data isnt mine then i seriously wouldnt consider paying for it and im simply not going to use it anymore, xept google photos to some extent since i can dump unlimited, i can dump, clear my cards and sort later, other than that i found a nice tool on linux b/c of that
( sudo apt-get -y install f3 #f3write f3read f3probe f3fix test flash drives for ) see for yourself, its nice to find out which drive is actually what it says if you collect lots of cheap ones
but i still lost a few people i liked talking to and a lot of data that has zero but emotional value and thus cannot be replace b/c i believed (how stupid is that) my data was stored more safe than iit would be on a flash drive or an ssd at home and seeing as i did some math ... $40 for 120gb ssd kingston which is said to last 1 million hours of actual usage, compared to a yearly sub for 120gb cloud storage ... thats not even a choice that has to be made lol
and before i get flagged off-topic ... i can see only one reason why they would, because they're edisonians, just to pite ideas they can get for free and put it in mastodont-OS 11, agreed :) microfascst *** f***s
i think this is one of those recurring meta-topic discussions, the bottomline spans a lot of topics, the root might be the chicken and the egg ... pen and paper-humans can be bribed, and wether they like it or not have up front both a personal preference (likely) and a certain strength of moral compass which might not even need third party interference to alter results a bit here and a bit there actually. Its like pretending cops always tell the truth since they are "under oath" whereas robocop might be hacked unless any of them is superman ofcourse
like saying bitcoin facilitates crime, and the dollar never did since al capone didnt get rich on moonshine using bitcoins, neither did escobar and afaik most major carttels in anything be it legal or illegal will use dollar since that amount of money in a blockchain would cause a datastorm that would attract attention
which brings us to the next : in the wake of everyone already doing it ten years after the fact, including banks and regulateors : next up : government looks into blockchain technology to secure voting machines ... (and satoshi goes lulz and old men in suits go, why would some scruffy squat rats build something like that, not patent it, and then simply disappear from the planet ?)
after that, chapter next up : the A.I. in charge of counting votes decided it was best for the planet if HALL-E 9001 won the election so it 'chose'
and so on ....
lol omg ... yea this is edgy ... like edgy and stuff, in soviet europe merkel would be on it and skinhead houses would be searched at this very moment looking for evidence of hatespeech ... and i dont know how far off that is and btw, the russians had molotov coctails and scorched earth, they still wiped the nazis ass with dysentery and "shit" like that
i guess apple is doing what in america and europe would be called "complying to the law" lol
sad but true huh ? so where's the factories with the million jobs ? they're still cook'in ?
lol ... i guess if you earn that much you CAN leave the nation xD ... if its shouting for sympathy i think it will fall on deaf ears considering most trump voters, im not sure how progressive progressive is, it should be complex algorithm depending on how much actual work you stick into it to some ? like for instance you pay a team of analysts to write HFT algorithms, you make money while sleeping, you can actually afford to pay a little more since you got plenty of time to make more with the more that you make. You got a boat building company that sells handcrafted from the cog to the steering wheel and you work seven days of 16 hours , well maybe you deserve a little more of a break. Its very hard to find a one size fits all here i think but as said, i dont think anyone's gonna pity people who make $300k if they have to pay more cos most of us dont lol. Such an unfair world hm. How about taxing politicians ? i dont know if american senators and whatever have to but in belgium and actually the whole EU wages are tax-free ... in belgium that can make up to euh maybe 60% (its crazy sometimes especially for labour business like gardeners and people who lay driveways and put fences and stuff taxes are fracking crazy if they DONT do seven days and some off the books its virtually not worth it lol
and then some ... its a proposition, right ? not a law yet
i have seen countless job-plans in hellgium here, all of them amount to one thing : cheap or free labour for companies, you dont learn shit, they dont teach you shit, they dont have to pay you shit, and when the period is over they kick you out and they dont hire you cos they get subsidized for the next one and all you get to do is (pardon my american english) shit shit (and more shit) and no real work, its (in short) imo bull-shit, but every corp will laud it since it practically slavelabour i dont believe in it, unpaid work is prone to profiteering i dont believe in it for one second
overstating the obvious ... does slashdot live by advertising ? well then ....
dunno ... "back in the day" when my old man was heavy into neo-nationalism and him and all his friends were gun-collectors ... sidearms, longrifles, scopes ... you know, all those toys for boys, i once got a chance to fire one those m-15 (m-16?) as a kid (no clue cos im not into that. He put a lock on the trunk with the ammo so no matter how i was scoping passersby with a snipe ... i couldnt really shoot anything lol
was kinda smart (sounds a bit american maybe but it was kinda trendy here 20-30 years ago) they did a huge sweep in flanders, maybe whole belgium, gave everyone a chance to turn in their armory without prosecution (like you cant get licenses for military grade equipment or grenades and stuff you know ... those collector thingies for adult boys with toys)
So i never shot anyone ... not even when i was like totally miffed or pissed off or had been in a fight, not even when i was enough to crack a lock lol
maybe its in your nature, i personally never had a gun in my life.
Radiojammer seems kinda easy to carry around if its the new thing in law-enforcement. Did he try broken open microwaves lol ?
So there's room for improvement then ?
(oh the vmo got disbanded and its no longer trendy, its just very racist lol ... well a lot of people are, its just the spirit of the place, its why i fit in so well i guess)
good old days memories ... i dont think a smart gun is a good thing to have if it can be jammed easily, i think you're better off with classics like a glock or if you wanna bling a desert eagle, and put it in a safe where your kid cant get to it. No jamming the glock lol
good, enough remniniscing and yea i do think a gun that cant be jammed with "another smart watch on the intruders arm is definitely the better option when it comes to ... whats it called ? personal defense ! )
You just have to be a so-called responsible parent and maybe if you like having guns in the house teach your kid from very young age what they are. I knew pretty fast as a very little kid to never point anything at people i wasnt gonna shoot, not even when its not loaded. Got more than an earful in case lol olol... im sad he sold off the blade collection though, all those daggers and blades, that was cool guns dont really speak to me (maybe good who knows what might have happened instead by now)
you cant videoconference tourism. Ticket price in half would be way out of awesome league so im guessing that wont happen, it just means they can squeeze twice the amount of money out of the same day. I dont think this will benefit consumers at all as usual and (im speaking purely tourism) its the ticket price that holds back ... go to anywhere in europe from brussels you pay like 200 to 500, iceland might be 1500 its ridiculous. Go outside like nepal thailand whatever china, all nice places to visit and dirt cheap to spend time but it cost like 2 months pay for a plane ticket.
so here's asking : if you know gods who care : pray this halves the ticked price theres lots of world i need to see
