mod6: and perhaps as soon as we send up the patched test bundle, someone could try compiling the static R.I. on there.

cazalla: mod6, 0x09 section of your guide
mod6: realpath should be on there by default iirc. but perhaps its not?
cazalla: curl wasn't either
mod6: section 0x9? are you talking about the how-to-patch guide? it's a separate thing.
mod6: yeah, curl certainly isn't installed by default
mod6: can't recall exactly about realpath
cazalla: yes i know but i would not be using the gentoo install guide unless i was moving on to the next guide, but i will have another go at some point

nubbins`: “In November 2004 the house insurance dramatically escalated from $552.00 to $1,315.60. The municipal appraisal was constant. The insurance brokers advised me that it was almost impossible to obtain insurance for a downtown, partially attached house. They advised that the new rate was the best they could obtain. I personally telephoned two other insurance companies in St. John’s. In each call I was immediately asked the location of the
nubbins`: residence.
nubbins`: Upon responding I was promptly told that the company would not even entertain my request due to location. I therefore was forced to accept the $763 increase.”

nubbins`: imagine
nubbins`: not able to purchase fire insurance
nubbins`: at ANY COST
nubbins`: "IBAN confirmed that homeowners in the St. John’s downtown area have experienced difficulty in finding insurance coverage in the past. The reasons for this difficulty are the high concentrations of wood frame structures with varying type of occupancy and differing physical conditions."

In that year, the foundation took on a demonstration project by painting a sample block in bright colours, from Willicott’s Lane to Victoria Street, on both sides of the street.

cazalla: this is probably common to every library now but i look at the melbourne public library's website and notice they have ebooks available for loan.. go to loan ebook but can't because someone else has it out on loan and they only have 1 copy available
decimation: cazalla: doesn't that strike you as the dumbest thing ever?
cazalla: someone somewhere must be making a killing off such a scheme

cazalla: i figured the loan button was just another way of saying download, should've known better
decimation: yes, it's certainly the case that your tax dollars are going to some kind of 'authors collective'
cazalla: trying to suss out if they charge late fees on ebooks now
decimation: I thought most of those 'ebook lending schemes' worked on some kind of time-based poison pill

decimation: asciilifeform: what annoys me even more is that the selection of 'lendable ebooks' is complete shit
asciilifeform: unsurprising
decimation: usually throwaway fiction, never worthwhile technical books
asciilifeform: if someone is dumb enough to buy into such a chumpatron, why bother serving up anything but pablum
decimation: you would think they could at least serve up google's copy of pre-1923 books
asciilifeform: decimation: folks would cotton on to the truth - them being entirely free - pretty quickly
decimation: so the proles could read the victorians lamenting their future dumb asses
asciilifeform: last thing the 'ebook' racket wants is an infinite fountain of free.

decimation: ^ all biometrics fall to similar kinds of sybil attacks
cazalla: asciilifeform, seems an obvious prediction in hindsight.. i guess i should step inside the library more often
decimation: cazalla: the problem is that most american libraries have gotten rid of their physical books
decimation: or carry nothing but similiar pablum
cazalla: i called them up regarding the late fees and no, no late fees on an ebook, librarian told me without prompting that they don't support the kindle either
asciilifeform: cazalla: the libraries where i live, still have books
asciilifeform: but the only ones with serious books are at universities
decimation: ^
asciilifeform: the municipal libraries are being converted to halls where homeless folks can check email, yes.
cazalla: their ebooks use this software apparently https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OverDrive,_Inc.
assbot: OverDrive, Inc. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1It8B7p )
cazalla: well, software developed by that company anyway
cazalla: "The company's global network includes more than 27,000 libraries and schools."
asciilifeform: 'In January 2009, OverDrive informed Fictionwise that it would no longer be providing downloads for purchasers of e-books through Fictionwise as of January 31, 2009. No reason was provided to Fictionwise as to why it was being shut down. This prevents previous purchasers from being able to renew their books on new devices. Fictionwise was working to provide replacement ebooks for its customers in alternative, non-DRM-protected
asciilifeform: formats, but did not have the rights to provide all of the books in different formats.'
asciilifeform: ^ l0l!
asciilifeform: it has ~always~ been abundantly obvious what 'content vendors' think of folks dumb enough not to pirate.
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah, either they think they can't 'reach that market' or they are dumber than the average prole
asciilifeform: copyrasts whine about 'if you made movie, you didn't make that movie' but there can be no such thing as too cruel a revenge for 'if you bought a book, you didn't buy that book'
decimation: asciilifeform: actually I find youtube to be an interesting case here
decimation: many otherwise strict copyrasts load up youtube with their warez (where they are easily copied)
decimation: they can't help themselves because 'think of the publicity!'
asciilifeform: they still persist in delusions of 'ownership'
asciilifeform: try displaying the thing outside of turdtube, sans pestilential ads, etc.
decimation: yeah, there's a tacit agreement - you can copy our stuff but only we can sell it
decimation: actually what I find far more offensive than pablum-slinging are the academic publisher fiefs
asciilifeform: these exist at the pleasure of usg.
decimation: sure, but they use their exalted position to keep out those who don't have 'notes from stalin'
asciilifeform: but also because today's academitards are risk-averse sheeple of the worst kind.
asciilifeform: 'can't put paper on www, it isn't prestigious'
decimation: 'need prestige to get sinecure'
asciilifeform: the operative word is 'get'
asciilifeform: get where, from who
asciilifeform: point the finger - there.
decimation: generally the crown, or one of its organs
asciilifeform: crown could, if wished, proclaim tomorrow 'any academic claiming a publication on his cv that is not freely available on www is committing fraud, and liable'
asciilifeform: don't hold your breath for this. but ~could~
decimation: they kinda made a halfass derp in that direction
decimation: but it has enough loopholes to not make a difference
asciilifeform: precisely the kind of faux reform that exists to 'check a box'
asciilifeform: 'see, we tried'
asciilifeform: but it is a mistake to think that elsevier, wiley, et al exist to 'keep research from the plebes.' no one gives half a rat's arse about plebes. they exist as an inevitable fly on the juicy meat of the university
asciilifeform: just like the suppliers of $100 test tubes and $500 table legs
decimation: yeah, the plebes are kept out merely as a side effect of the gorging
decimation: because if the shoe-shine boy could get in on the racket it's already blown its load
asciilifeform: yes, elsevier is in the position to 'you get to pay us $2mil/yr or you don't get to run a university library'
asciilifeform: but it is one of 1,001 such entities
asciilifeform: gigantic bags of money don't come with arms and legs, can't defend selves from rentseekers
decimation: as for 'sheeple' - you of course realize how thin the shadow of an implication of a threat you would need to make for a tenure-hopeful to be thrown into near-suicidal doubt
asciilifeform: ergo when usg throws money to academitards, it really enriches the vultures who feed on the latter
decimation: yeah, like the 'gold rushers' of yore, the folks who got rich were the middlemen
asciilifeform: drink that cup of its-weight-in-gold water.
asciilifeform: delicious.
asciilifeform: and costs just the same across the street, too.
asciilifeform: because - it can.
decimation: yeah, the miners were not known for actually holding gold
asciilifeform: and it is very much not because they did not want to.
asciilifeform: (at times, the 'water sellers' are peculiarly slow to catch up - consider, for instance, that mains current cheap enough to mine btc with at a profit still appears to exist somewhere !)
decimation: asciilifeform: actually I was thinking about how one could buy otherwise useless land in the desert, get usg to subsidize solar, and sell space in a 'miner's datacenter'
asciilifeform: good way to build a free gift of hash for usg
asciilifeform: i'll pass.
decimation: heh
decimation: 'you didn't mine that bitcoin'
asciilifeform: and... where did the tx spam go
asciilifeform: i miss it so
decimation: free testing service?
asciilifeform: aha
asciilifeform: was very good test for me nodes
decimation: I guess the 'bitcoin core' devs and their patrons are regrouping
