nubbins` owns third-party printer drivers that allow him to control -- among other things -- voltage to piezo
nubbins`: you'll rarely see others try it
nubbins`: epson's the only one using it as a rule
ascii_field: quality was about on par with ancient typewriter and then leave document in the sun for a decade or three
nubbins`: incidentally, some of you may be interested to know, epson is the only home printer mfg that has printheads that can deliver variable amounts of ink
nubbins`: i actually took a loss on a job a while back because i priced it for color laser prints and they weren't up to snuff
nubbins`: but the CIS kit i have supplies a constant flow of very inexpensive, high quality ink
mike_c: i have had mixed success with chinese knockoff ink cartridges, and have a suspicion they have led to the death of my current printer..
ascii_field: nubbins`: function of the paper? if the ink is water-soluble, and it gets in - how will it not also get out, when wetted again ?
nubbins`: ascii_field that's a function of the paper 8)
nubbins`: ascii_field is right tho, color lasers are ubiquitous and cheap. you can get one for around the same price.
ascii_field: mike_c: by the tonne
mike_c: well they don't make home laser color printers i don't think
nubbins`: in fairness, the epson 1430 is really nice, 13" wide-format, and it's probably only like $200-250usd right now.

ben_vulpes: what is it with you and self flagellation with the usg scourge
ascii_field: was a petty theft case but very instructive
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: they don't let real humans actually sit.
ben_vulpes: there is only one kind of signature that can prove identity in this marvelous world where grownups use crypto.
chetty: omg, we all log on to b-a, must be the same person
ben_vulpes: "...the outdated version that both "French Maid" and FORCE (as Nob) used is more of a "signature" given the greater number of versions available."
ben_vulpes: look at them flail, trying to apply their old tactics of identity discovery to the new world.
ben_vulpes: "additional pieces of circumstantial evidence prove that FORCE is "French Maid." Both "French Maid" and Force (operating as "Nob") used the exact same brand of PGP software,a feww brand called GnuPG. There are different brands of PGP software, so it is noteworthy that both FORCE (operating as "Nob") and "French Maid" used the same brand."
ben_vulpes: it boggles the mind that Force got DPR using gpg.
ben_vulpes: yeah, this is just the guy who got *busted* for operating SR.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo i will be forever grateful if qntra breaks with the general trend in the "press" and actually points out that MP knew this months ago. << perhaps you want to take this one on? My venom sacs are running low after the disappearing lawsuit and this happening.
mircea_popescu: especially as he conspired with others to do so, who idem 20 to life.
mircea_popescu: he knew, lied to the judge - which is enough for disbarment, and broke half the laws in the book, which is enough for 20 to life.
mircea_popescu: it's not like the guy in charge didn't KNOW what was happening.
mircea_popescu: now let's see the da that KNEW THIS and made this call prosecuted under rico.
BingoBoingo: Also this is why the Maryland murder for hire thing couldn't be tried
mircea_popescu: that way they don't have to explain to the judge why the testimony of convicted felons should be taken seriously.

nubbins`: (in addition to the plywood coverings, it was also deemed prudent to cover the McD's-branded awning with a tarp)

ascii_field: pete_dushenski: these are descriptors for the folks who happily buy faux death rays from feds and imprisoned for life, or ram a gate because the voices commanded it
pete_dushenski: it makes sense that the typical box-checkers and form-fillers would be... typical
pete_dushenski: ascii_field these are various descriptors for 'non-normies'
ascii_field: trinque: good time to rehash my observation that the only 'decisive' people, as in out-and-out arms against usg - are the schizos, imbeciles, and provocateurs
trinque: damn, copied the return

fluffypony: Charlie Shrem: The Revenge

ascii_field: thestringpuller: you can probably get same machine that i use every day for less than the cost of a couplea pogos
fluffypony: ascii_field: Shrem is going to the sort of prison where you have Twitter access
nubbins`: ascii_field "tweets from the president"
thestringpuller: ascii_field: I'm just jelly cause I was always too poor to own an opteron machine. I had to stick with the lesser Athlons
ascii_field: 'tweets from the inside' ?!
assbot: Well I'm off to prison now! Follow my twitter for tweets from the inside /hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash
nubbins`: they had ppc option ;p
ascii_field: thestringpuller: not much alternative
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller lol
nubbins`: recently upgraded to 8gb ram and a new battery too, breathed a bit of new life
thestringpuller: i imagine the future a bunch of people running altair 8800 clones in caves to talk to each other in binary XD
ascii_field: BingoBoingo: see the last nyt link
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: the implemenation wouldn't be on the level of what most of us are running, but there could be some kind of IRC-like communication. But yea no one wants to run a 1401 for other reasons...
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller right. like web surfing on og lisa or something
ascii_field recommends that everyone read the Force & Bridges indictment, it is an absolute circus
pete_dushenski: though i'd be interested to poll b-a'ers as to what hardware they use daily for irc/web
nubbins`: <+thestringpuller> lol do all canadians smoke nugs? <<< enough do

BingoBoingo: It is my responsibility as media people to frame the discussion
mike_c: you know the suffix isn't part of the abbreviated name, right? like bob jones III is just mr. jones.
BingoBoingo: But Mr. Mark Force IV is not a member of the bar, so no prosecuting for him.
