amarsh04 | .au is very heavy on dui but alcohol (wine at least) can be very cheap, like a 4 litre cask for AUD$10 | Jul 15 17:56 |
squarepeg | I don't just push for decriminalizing marijuana, I push for decriminalizing personal quantities of all controlled substances | Jul 15 17:57 |
DaemonFC | amarsh04, The toilet Chardonnay that they sell in a box? | Jul 15 17:57 |
DaemonFC | B-) | Jul 15 17:57 |
DaemonFC | yeah, that's cheap | Jul 15 17:57 |
squarepeg | I'm an outspoken advocate for more cocaine production as well | Jul 15 17:57 |
DaemonFC | because nearly the entire cost is tax | Jul 15 17:57 |
amarsh04 | something like that | Jul 15 17:57 |
squarepeg | and heroine | Jul 15 17:57 |
amarsh04 | personal quantities of marijuana is decriminalised here | Jul 15 17:58 |
squarepeg | People love marijuana, but the marijuana scene is over-commercialized | Jul 15 17:58 |
DaemonFC | squarepeg, Those actually cause harm to a person | Jul 15 17:58 |
MinceR | ethanol and tobacco are among the worse drugs, afaik | Jul 15 17:58 |
squarepeg | amarsh04: I can barely celebrate that, it's so insignificant | Jul 15 17:58 |
DaemonFC | and in and of itself, that's not grounds for laws either | Jul 15 17:58 |
MinceR | yet they're tolerated for cultural reasons | Jul 15 17:58 |
squarepeg | when marijuana is decriminalized, I'll say "so what?" | Jul 15 17:59 |
squarepeg | DaemonFC: says you | Jul 15 17:59 |
DaemonFC | squarepeg, I believe that if a person has been made well aware of what the consequences are and they do something stupid that only risks their own life | Jul 15 17:59 |
DaemonFC | that's OK | Jul 15 17:59 |
DaemonFC | and should be encouraged even | Jul 15 17:59 |
DaemonFC | thinning out the batch of idiots | Jul 15 17:59 |
squarepeg | I don't do needle drugs | Jul 15 17:59 |

amarsh04 | Australia grows opium in Tasmania | Jul 15 18:00 |
DaemonFC | it's pretty much all just drugs | Jul 15 18:00 |
squarepeg | I believe in prosecuting the crime, not the drug which is associated with the crime | Jul 15 18:01 |
DaemonFC | We have a drug problem? It's not a problem for me. | Jul 15 18:01 |
squarepeg | cool | Jul 15 18:01 |
DaemonFC | There could be real problems, like high mugging rates that do concern me. | Jul 15 18:01 |
DaemonFC | I'd rather there be a "drug problem" | Jul 15 18:02 |
DaemonFC | because it's not my problem | Jul 15 18:02 |
DaemonFC | "X people were beheaded and left in the desert this year because of drug cartel violence" | Jul 15 18:03 |
DaemonFC | Why are there drug cartels? | Jul 15 18:03 |
DaemonFC | Oh right, because drugs are illegal | Jul 15 18:03 |
DaemonFC | same reason there were gangsters during prohibition | Jul 15 18:03 |
DaemonFC | the government creates these crime syndicates that innocent bystanders have to deal with | Jul 15 18:04 |
DaemonFC | because they want to control what you do in your own home | Jul 15 18:05 |
DaemonFC | :) | Jul 15 18:05 |
squarepeg | The ideological rift between the anti-drug warriors and the users, dealers, cartels and producers is very wide. | Jul 15 18:06 |
squarepeg | I have a plan to win the Drug War. Basically it requires the defeat of the DEA and their ideologues. | Jul 15 18:07 |
squarepeg | The DEA has the wrong mission, and the organization is despised all over the world. | Jul 15 18:08 |
squarepeg | It must be abolished. | Jul 15 18:08 |
squarepeg | Controlled substances still must be controlled in bulk quantities, but personal quantities should be decriminalized for everyone over 18. | Jul 15 18:09 |
squarepeg | also, alcohol should be legal for 18+ | Jul 15 18:09 |
squarepeg | The DEA runs around like the Morality Police of Iran or Saudi Arabia, treating Americans and foreigners like trash. | Jul 15 18:10 |

ender2070 | out of every 20 students 1 scores that high | Jul 15 19:23 |

ender2070 | i dont own a car | Jul 15 19:23 |
ender2070 | i use public transportation | Jul 15 19:23 |

ender2070 | which is paid for by the government program | Jul 15 19:23 |

cubezzz | there's a huge body of software for x86, far more than any other system | Jul 15 20:05 |
cubezzz | well it's still x86 isn't it? :-P | Jul 15 20:06 |
yuhong | On the "all software is math" argument, if what they are patenting is basically instructions executed on a computer, yes that is likely math. | Jul 15 20:06 |
yuhong | But Windows lock-in locks you to a single software vendor, x86 "lock-in" at least there is competition with Intel and AMD. | Jul 15 20:06 |
yuhong | Don't forget mainframe lock-in too. | Jul 15 20:06 |
cubezzz | are you talking about IBM? | Jul 15 20:06 |
yuhong | Yes. | Jul 15 20:07 |
cubezzz | well there's Cray... | Jul 15 20:07 |
yuhong | They even have undocumented instructions that IBM uses in their own OSes like z/OS. | Jul 15 20:07 |
DaemonFC | it's about to storm | Jul 15 20:08 |
cubezzz | yeah I'm not saying IBM is better than Intel | Jul 15 20:08 |
DaemonFC | may as well leave before Duke Energy makes me leave :P | Jul 15 20:08 |
DaemonFC | nap time :P | Jul 15 20:08 |
cubezzz | but IBM is better than Microsoft to deal with | Jul 15 20:08 |

cubezzz | some IBM PCs were excellent machines | Jul 15 20:09 |
cubezzz | I have one that still works after 17 years | Jul 15 20:09 |
cubezzz | yuhong, try to buy a desktop PC that is non-x86 | Jul 15 20:10 |
cubezzz | I think it would be rather difficult | Jul 15 20:10 |
cubezzz | well, maybe used it wouldn't be too hard, but new would be hard | Jul 15 20:11 |
cubezzz | Cray XT6m is interesting but... | Jul 15 20:13 |
cubezzz | Each compute node has two twelve core Opteron Processors (which are two six core dies in a CPU case) and a total of 32GB DDR3 SDRAM | Jul 15 20:13 |
cubezzz | so even that is x86 | Jul 15 20:14 |
cubezzz | Apple dropped PowerPC | Jul 15 20:16 |

MinceR | he doesn't understand free software and he doesn't seem to realize that if you need to carry another phone as a "backup" then the hypePhone is entirely pointless | Jul 15 20:43 |
