[00:31:37] <SpallsHurgenson> CERTAIN members of this household (who are not me) subscribed to all their hundreds of websites using their ISP-provided email accounts. I am currently assisting them in rectifying this error so that it may be possible to move to another internet provider
[00:32:19] <SpallsHurgenson> this procedure would go faster if they had kept accurate records as to what passwords they used and to which websites they had subscribed <sigh>.
[00:34:39] <SpallsHurgenson> and I am absolutely surprised at how many sites still send passwords cleartext through email
[00:36:42] <SirFinkus> don't be
[00:36:54] <SirFinkus> I'm just pissed about the whole "email" thing
[00:37:09] <SirFinkus> I'm so glad our email address is our internet id
[00:37:46] <SirFinkus> should be pgp keys or something
[00:38:03] <SirFinkus> or is it gpg? I always get those confused
[00:38:37] <SpallsHurgenson> but you can't resell pgp keys to advertisers
[00:39:14] <SpallsHurgenson> man, why do you hate capitalism?!?!? :-)
[00:39:51] <SirFinkus> ask crutchy
[00:40:22] <SpallsHurgenson> crutchy, why do you hate capitalism?

[09:20:01] * crutchy just had a thought... if the US pays China in treasuries in exchange for Chinese exports, does it really mean that the USA 'owes' China? Technically I guess it does because US dollars are effectively IOU's, but as I understand treasuries are basically equivalent of gold, so my conclusion is that the USA has actually *paid* China hundreds of billions of dollars (in treasuries) that China is free to cash in at will? I'm not an
[09:20:02] * crutchy expert on bonds so I'm not sure if this is true, but it would explain why China seems to be buying up a bunch of US property and businesses.
