| schestowitz | Got access to Tesla GPU-powered server this month, operated via SSH with KDE as a guest environment, as before. Even though our code is not compiled for Compute Unified Device Architecture (no SDK), I thought I'd at least change the default password as it had been sent unencrypted over E-mail. I seem to lack a homedir on the server and cannot create one without being root | Apr 23 11:12 |

| oiaohm | schestowitz: USA has to pass to allow taking out more money. | Apr 23 11:30 |
| oiaohm | schestowitz: so USA soon could be in hell. | Apr 23 11:30 |
| cubezzz | I think running an aircraft carrier (just one) costs about $25 million per day | Apr 23 11:34 |
| cubezzz | it's totally crazy | Apr 23 11:34 |
| schestowitz | oiaohm: yeah | Apr 23 11:35 |
| schestowitz | This related to same of the videos I posted earlier in -social channel | Apr 23 11:35 |
| schestowitz | Basically, being a religious nation that believes in rapture and nonsense, they think they could run unbelievably large definict | Apr 23 11:36 |
| schestowitz | And they keep expanding it | Apr 23 11:36 |
| schestowitz | Like some angel will come from the sky and write is all off :- | Apr 23 11:36 |
| schestowitz | While EUrope and Canada are more consrvative in comparison | Apr 23 11:36 |
| schestowitz | oiaohm: so don't expect just minor savings here and there to help | Apr 23 11:37 |
| schestowitz | The space programme in the US is already being slaughtered | Apr 23 11:37 |
| schestowitz | Benefits for the poor too | Apr 23 11:37 |
| schestowitz | More tax breaks for theives like Koch and Gates | Apr 23 11:37 |
| schestowitz | And the war machines won't be able to carry on for long, it's like to rot like in the USSR (at the end) | Apr 23 11:37 |
| schestowitz | I've just posted a response to someone who sort of mortgages his advocacy of FOSS | Apr 23 11:38 |
| schestowitz | He took lots of credit card to help him go on advocating FOSS | Apr 23 11:38 |
| schestowitz | Like many in the US who mortgage their kids' (And grandkids' future) | Apr 23 11:38 |
| schestowitz | Here is what I wrote to him: | Apr 23 11:38 |
| schestowitz | "It is abundantly clear that Linux the kernel has won, but the battle is long and we now need to usher Linux in with more freedom. Chris E. has accomplished a lot for all of us, predicting in advance the fall of Windows (whose profits have been falling for several quarters now), the rise of UNIX/Linux (hopefully less of the former, OS X), and the understanding that sharing of code will win. Today's most successful projects, e.g. | Apr 23 11:39 |
| schestowitz | Chrome, Firefox, KVM, and Apache, all rely on this collaborative model. Personally, like PJ, I feel as though we did a good job doing what was needed to push Linux and FOSS past the tipping point; from here onwards, society can further the goals. People buy Android because it's good. This weakens the old OS monopoly, which is one of the harmful elements (lack of advances, antifeatures) we fought against." | Apr 23 11:39 |

| cubezzz | 663.8 billion for the U.S. military budget for 2010 | Apr 23 11:41 |
| cubezzz | when see 2010 I always think of Arthur C Clarke | Apr 23 11:41 |
| oiaohm | schestowitz: I get the horrid felling we are not watching the same game. | Apr 23 11:45 |
| cubezzz | no flying cars, no HAL 9000 though | Apr 23 11:45 |
| oiaohm | We are seening more and more funding going into open source. | Apr 23 11:45 |
| oiaohm | And we are seeing results of it. | Apr 23 11:45 |
| cubezzz | I really really hate the depiction of computers on tv | Apr 23 11:48 |
| cubezzz | invariably it's always a computer running windows | Apr 23 11:49 |
| cubezzz | maybe the odd Mac | Apr 23 11:49 |
| schestowitz | [11:41] <cubezzz> 663.8 billion for the U.S. military budget for 2010 | Apr 23 11:51 |
| schestowitz | Do you have the source for that? | Apr 23 11:52 |
| schestowitz | I think it's north of it and one person who's a professor in this area with former agency connection says they actually spend more but hide it | Apr 23 11:52 |
| schestowitz | E.g. spendings on low-profile projects they don't want disclosure on | Apr 23 11:52 |
| schestowitz | Like old nuclear projects | Apr 23 11:52 |
| schestowitz | [11:45] <oiaohm> We are seening more and more funding going into open source. | Apr 23 11:53 |
| schestowitz | But in a different way | Apr 23 11:53 |
| schestowitz | Not open source companies | Apr 23 11:53 |
| schestowitz | But projects like webkit where they work on them like on Linux | Apr 23 11:53 |
