[14:16:54] <raxas> not sure, don't even know that one. I always encourage people to design their own toys, games, music and fun in general rather than augment on existing franchises

[14:53:33] <t3> it's not surprising to see the cultural advantage reemerge as industrialization advances
[14:53:35] <Runaway1956> The world would be very different today if the Chinese hadn't gone all isolationist all those years ago

[15:19:27] <Runaway1956> The US only honors treaties when they feel like it
[15:20:52] <raxas> sooner or later, those provocations against russia and china will end with real sinking. it looks like americans are begging for just that for some reason. internal politics, most probably

[15:24:47] <raxas> good question. we as Czechoslovakia had France and UK as _allies_ even before nazi invasion to Poland. They allies gave us to Hitler shamefully. Traitors.

[15:29:36] <raxas> you westerners are actually lucky of Putin being so soft. there are true warhawks in russia. I watched Zhirinovsky speech in duma, saying "encircle and sink!", literally. he said that not about funny ships, but about _Great_Bratain_ itself
[15:31:05] <c0lo> Putin is not soft, war's bad for business, would interfere too much with his accumulation of power/wealth
[15:31:31] <c0lo> He just has other interests.
[15:32:49] <c0lo> As lng as there's a non-man's-land between Russia and NATO (and Ukraine is annoying for him in this regard), he'll do nothing.
[15:33:05] <raxas> he _is_ soft. that's what I dislike about him. what would israelis do in his place when provoked? they would shooting sharp
[15:33:51] <raxas> instead, putin is nice and wants befriend everyone. bad strategy, I say
[15:35:03] <c0lo> Israel 400 per Km2 and no natural resources. Russia 9 per Km2. Where's the pressure?
[15:35:41] <c0lo> No, Putin is not nice.
[15:37:53] <raxas> there were actually 4 ship incidents in black sea lately. first british, then french, then dutch, now american. this will never end. so, I would sink the very first one as an exemplary
[15:38:34] <raxas> putin _is_ weak
[15:39:21] <raxas> it is a question of sovereignty, not question of business
[15:45:38] <raxas> and frankly, my friends in russia think the same. putin is just a "true liberal" for them and they want a hardy man
[15:46:40] <c0lo> Putin is wise. Sovereignity? Nobody invaded, nobody was kiled. Neither UK nor US is able to mount an attack. Afghanistan proved that very well.
[15:47:24] <c0lo> As for your friends in Russia, they are fools. Their families will starve if Russia gets into a war.
[15:48:10] <c0lo> They are eating the results of that "business".
[15:48:29] <c0lo> In a war, they'll be eating bullets.
[15:48:50] <raxas> territory must be untouchable by foreign military. otherwise, there is no sovereignty and claim for territory is lost. that's the "international" law for millenia
[15:49:10] <c0lo> Oh, really?
[15:49:40] <raxas> and concernig food, russia is a top exporter of wheat, just like it was in 15-19 centuries before
[15:50:05] <c0lo> And what exactly was lost by a few batshit militry paraded their vessels?
[15:50:57] <c0lo> Russia is a top exporter of wheat because the people don't fight wars, just tending their crops.
[15:51:30] <raxas> those parades are intended to dispute a territory of Crimea. and by not punishing them immediately, that questioning succeeded
[15:51:32] <FatPhil> I'm wondering what happens if one of the NATO jets decides to take out a Sukhoi as it flies over .ee/.lt/.lv airspace with no transponder or flight plan.
[15:52:17] <c0lo> The same as when Turkey downed a Russian fighter some years ago.
[15:52:18] <FatPhil> Turkey downed one a few years ago, nothing happened. Worth a try?
[15:52:39] <c0lo> What for, FatPhil?
[15:53:19] <FatPhil> Because Putin is trying to make NATO appear weak.
[15:56:13] <c0lo> Yeah, those kind of face games. Fools would give a shit about it, Putin saves that shit for his opponents. Putin's biggest problem is internal today.
[15:57:08] <c0lo> Way too many for his taste would like to see Putin gone.
[15:58:28] <raxas> I say, people are tired of him for not being sufficiently hard, a complete opposite of what the west expects from getting rid of him
[15:59:40] <c0lo> And the most dangerous are indeed the Zhirinovsky-type fools.
[16:00:29] <raxas> there is no lack of such in russia
[16:01:00] <raxas> almost everyone is fed up and tired of western bullying for decades
[16:01:09] <c0lo> That's why my assessment of "Putin's biggest problem is internal today"
[16:01:55] <c0lo> I doubt "almost everyone is fed up". Maybe everyone you know, but that's something else.

[16:33:04] <raxas> why? it's technology, not politics
[16:35:23] <c0lo> That Terminator? Good for Syria, garbage against cheap a horde of copter drones with an RPG mounted underneath. When the adversary can disable a $1M machine with $20k worth equipment, it's not long until you know who won.
[16:36:44] <c0lo> Besides, it doen't run on solar panels, so why bother? (grin)
[16:38:15] <raxas> wrong. this one is a support for protecting real tanks from "horde of cheap copter drones"
[16:39:18] <c0lo> Really? Exatcly how?
[16:40:23] <c0lo> It doesn't have a thicker armour and it's not agile enough to track and destroy multiple targets in the same time.

[16:41:52] <c0lo> Those beavers will be the end of humanity with the methane they produce.
[16:42:27] <raxas> they have other radar minitanks, those good for tracking. the gun on this is obviously AA
[16:45:46] <c0lo> Rrrright. Those radars will be useless for 20 copters flying 2m above the ground in dispersed formation.
[16:47:26] <raxas> I am sure after late Armenia incident, the Russian military know well what they need
[16:48:42] <c0lo> checking... I don't see Armenia as a producer of drones.. you sure the ruskies had their proper lesson?

[16:56:14] <raxas> that remains to be observed

[17:06:03] <chromas> bad search results are google's fault; not the bot's
[17:07:49] <raxas> I told the bot should parse the complete url as a fixpoint, bypassing attempt to search. that's a valid clium
[17:07:59] <raxas> *claim
[17:08:49] <raxas> otherwise, someone could sploit your favourite videos... with a goatse just by the same name
[17:08:58] <chromas> the bot simply passes your string onto google
[17:09:35] <raxas> if you didn't understood that, there is no salvation against hacking for you
[17:10:13] <chromas> any sort of parsing would be something other than a search
[17:11:13] <chromas> so if you go to youtube.com and paste a url into the search field then you're hacking your browser?

[17:16:41] <raxas> I will restrain myself of using funny yt function and will not discuss this in future again

[17:46:04] <c0lo> chromas, the bot used to also capture the nick of the submitter. Something like "upstart write on an IRC submission by <nick>". So, it may be that you did it and did many other things that you rolled back and mindlessly destroyed.
[17:46:40] <c0lo> raxax, be a double-sport and lend the bb and the echidna to chromas, to shoot his foot.

[19:56:27] <t3> wtf does race have to do with lightning strikes?!
[20:00:50] <chromas> duh, that's where all the white power comes from
[20:03:19] <FatPhil> the topic is very racially charged
[20:04:57] <chromas> "Peoples of Color Represent Only 11% of Lightning Deaths. We Can Do Better"
[20:18:20] <requerdanos> The aforementioned golf clubs are held disproportionately by white people. Just saying.
[20:25:49] <raxas> it's obvious statistics: white people do more "secret crimes". thus, are punished by leigong more often
[20:34:04] <c0lo> moar transparency would reduces the incidence. Or less crimes.
[20:35:49] <raxas> just consider two numbers: total energy stored in ionosphere (planetary capacitor) and total energy stored in magnetosphere. that's lot of quantum states sufficient to implement intelligent entities in plasma/electric domain
[20:36:21] <raxas> and those entities just reside there, visiting us time to time
[20:36:25] <requerdanos> And consider this: People are mostly water, and so is the earth's surface.
[20:41:03] <raxas> typical human total energy (by einstein's concept) is not much. compare that to the number of quantum states in some ocean
[20:41:32] <raxas> and much more water than on surface is in the mantle
[20:42:57] <raxas> so, the whole planet as a computing device is much more capable than all humans could concieve
[20:43:59] <raxas> and theoretical possibilities of hacking that, are very interesting to me
