10:58 asciilifeform if it delivered 270kJ you wouldn't need artillery.
10:59 thestringpuller mircea_popescu: galons -> gallons?
10:59 mircea_popescu let them do the math!
11:00 mircea_popescu ahe thestringpuller
11:00 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the other thing is that a good petrol bomb includes a gelling agent
11:00 asciilifeform e.g., the styrofoam that was replaced with 'orange juice' by palahniuk's publisher
11:00 asciilifeform otherwise it tends to spread uselessly
11:00 mircea_popescu think the plastic in the bottle's not gonna be enough ?
11:00 asciilifeform and can be washed off
11:01 asciilifeform the bottle does not melt very quickly
11:01 mircea_popescu this is a point.
11:01 mircea_popescu im adding packing peanuts.
11:01 punkman glass bottle might be better
11:01 asciilifeform srsly this is what, three quarters of a century-old tech
11:01 asciilifeform not mega-s33kr1t
11:01 mircea_popescu punkman worse, not so available.
11:02 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: not so. beer.
11:02 asciilifeform today as it was then.
11:02 punkman a lot of beer :P
11:02 asciilifeform and glass bottles were used in ww2 su. lets you use phosphorus or some other fulminating agent to touch the thing off
11:03 asciilifeform (don't drop yer rucksack)
11:03 * shinohai finds no notable spelling errors in mircea_popescu 's article, enjoyed it.
11:03 asciilifeform the aspiring diversante is advised to see to it that his peanuts actually dissolve
11:03 davout easier to screw a cap on a plastic bottle tho
11:03 mircea_popescu done.
11:03 mircea_popescu asciilifeform no, aluminum
11:03 asciilifeform (iirc there are materials - tyvek? - which will not)
11:04 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: plenty of glass beer bottles in usa
11:04 mircea_popescu ah good point
11:04 * asciilifeform has never once drank it out of aluminum
11:05 asciilifeform at any rate, i predict that no one will throw petrol bombs in usa, until after it becomes 'fusa'
11:05 asciilifeform (like fussr)
11:07 mircea_popescu aaand updated.
11:07 mircea_popescu asciilifeform what people do is really besides the point.

11:13 asciilifeform iirc the other reason for the thickening agent is to avoid 'leidenfrost effect'
11:13 asciilifeform where the petrol harmlessly boils off
11:14 mircea_popescu vapor insulator ?
11:14 punkman plastic bottle doesn't break, how will it spread the gas when thrown?
11:14 mircea_popescu not summer anymore, but yeah
11:14 mircea_popescu punkman it melts.
11:14 punkman so it lands and rolls around, then melts?
11:14 mircea_popescu it melts in flight if you're any good.
11:15 asciilifeform plastic is a poor choice unless target is stationary (e.g., the glass window of a nazi office).
11:15 asciilifeform it will roll harmlessly off a tank.
11:15 mircea_popescu you ever seen this ?
11:15 mircea_popescu the straw is there so you adjust for flight distance.
11:16 punkman sawdust is also an old staple, according to local lore at least
11:16 mircea_popescu yeah but where are they gonna get sawdust.
11:16 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: it isn't that it is entirely unworkable, but this takes you back to the 18th century, before impact detonator was a thing
11:17 mircea_popescu so let them develop some skill.
11:17 asciilifeform 'assembly line with phd'
11:17 mircea_popescu no.
11:17 mircea_popescu "naturally arisisng social hierarchy".
11:17 mircea_popescu you want the dumbass "community organizers" to run into a group of people who have built natural respect for skill, tested in the field.
11:18 mircea_popescu unlike the usg, that works a little for itself and the rest for us, i work for us. the whole way.
11:18 asciilifeform if this existed in usa today, it would look like usa circa 1950 and there'd be no question of 'which bottle'
11:19 mircea_popescu i dun believe either that if stands or it'd matter if it stood.
11:19 mircea_popescu horribru disease, counterfactualism.
11:19 asciilifeform as it is, courage XOR skill. presently.

14:53 BingoBoingo Since the $20's aren't benjies they can be spent
14:53 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: the same way i would handle monkeys flooding out of my arse while the sky turns fluorescent purple

17:17 asciilifeform let'em come here.
17:24 asciilifeform pete_dushenski: podcast folks typically expect a voice track, yes. and now that i think about it, i've heard a dozen or so episodes of this one. quite mediocre (shilled for gavin, hearn, et al) but as i recall - quite popular.
17:24 asciilifeform so if you feel like preaching to the heathens, go for it.
17:25 pete_dushenski i'm proposing that they come here and, if they so desire, have a voice actor play the role of interviewee for the program
17:25 pete_dushenski they also have a blog so there's that

21:10 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: you don't. there are no urls, there's a javascript application that stands on the dom.
21:11 mircea_popescu ...
21:11 mircea_popescu they reimplemented cgi in javascript ?
21:11 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: this is like asking how to reconnect the buttons at an old derelict petrol station
21:11 asciilifeform there is not, likely, a useful thing to be gained
21:12 mircea_popescu so what, i'm to buy an ipad to get access to my domains because namecheap went full retard ?
21:12 asciilifeform last i used it - it worked...
21:12 mircea_popescu the dumbass cgi-in-javascript thing still gets data somewhere.
21:13 * ben_vulpes is trying to understand how this is cgi
21:13 mircea_popescu " a javascript application that stands on the dom." makes no sense to me.
21:13 ben_vulpes cgi is still request loop stuff, right?
21:13 ben_vulpes "dynamically generated pages" but generated in response to a specific HTTP request.
21:13 mircea_popescu well yes ?
21:14 mircea_popescu what, they have a special non-http server ?
21:14 ben_vulpes okay well a js application contains the state of user interaction with the "app". when it *needs* to talk to the server, it makes api calls for data and then renders that or does calculations or whatever might need to be done.
21:14 ben_vulpes ugh why do i know this
21:14 * asciilifeform puts on gas mask
21:14 mircea_popescu but javascript is still run in the browser, right ?
21:15 ben_vulpes yeah...
21:15 mircea_popescu and the server itself is still running http
21:15 mircea_popescu so what bs is this, "no urls"
21:15 mircea_popescu OF CUFING FORSE there's urls.
21:15 ben_vulpes okay, simpler
21:15 ben_vulpes yes yes yes
21:15 ben_vulpes very little html is sent over the wire
21:15 ben_vulpes server sez: "here's the js to run, here are the deps, here's the css, go to town"
21:16 mircea_popescu right, but in general, how do i just hook into the datastream of this bs.
21:16 mircea_popescu how do i normallty access "the deps" ?
21:16 ben_vulpes other script tags
21:16 mircea_popescu that's what i imagine i want, i expect a serialized base64
21:16 ben_vulpes that you don't load either
21:16 mircea_popescu what ?
21:16 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: likely thing is that the box returns 'json' turds (javascript lists populated with crud)
21:16 mircea_popescu look, how do i cut through the chase, so that i don't actually use the js.
21:16 ben_vulpes "the deps" are the rest of the js and html that the thing needs to run
21:16 ben_vulpes read the source, or run the thing and monitor its api calls.
21:16 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes either you're proposing it guesses the data, or else it gets the data from the server.
21:17 mircea_popescu uh. isn't there a standard way you people do this ? like, hm, how should i explain myself.
21:17 ben_vulpes go find the api client js file and read through that. if you're lucky enough they factored the js so cleanly that you can find the api endpoints.
21:17 mircea_popescu in all my interactions with idiocy to date (and this is very banal and ancient idiocy, nothing novel here) there's always a spigot the actual tech people use.
21:18 mircea_popescu that's built in a "standards" model or whatever. "it's called TruDataAccess" or whathaveyou
21:18 mircea_popescu <link href="/assets/css/main?v=phbjMcurPxAMALWheG3gR3Pt1PkGb2rDzmtxXbmwvgE1" rel="stylesheet"/>
21:19 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: yes and?
21:19 mircea_popescu check that stupid shit out, they gotta have a ?v=garbage approach to css because reddit does it and so they gotta be professional.
21:19 mircea_popescu as if there's really any point to it.
21:19 ben_vulpes oh i'm sure it's crucial to the functioning of some AWESOME tool
21:19 ben_vulpes like versioned css or something insane
21:20 mircea_popescu yeah, tool is right.
21:20 mircea_popescu a dumbass dude with no prospects. aka tool.
21:20 * asciilifeform wonders if mircea_popescu realizes that the design space of http slides inevitably into this kind of insanity
21:20 mircea_popescu asciilifeform I DID NOT ASK FOR THIS
21:20 mircea_popescu any of it.
21:21 asciilifeform aha.
21:21 asciilifeform me neither...
21:21 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: do you know what he means by "spigot the actual tech people use"?
21:21 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: prolly something like the pure-http version of 'gmail'
21:21 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes how do you debug this ?
21:21 asciilifeform (does that still work..?)
21:21 ben_vulpes terminal into production?
21:21 * trinque ears perk up for browser lamentations
21:21 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: aaaah, other html pages showing the same data
21:21 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: 'firebug' + 'wireshark'
21:21 mircea_popescu suppose the "data isn';t right". you know you load it somehow.
21:21 ben_vulpes ^^
21:21 mircea_popescu and it's not gonna be fucking wireshark.
21:22 asciilifeform it is always, in the end, wireshark
21:22 mircea_popescu it's gonna be http://techsuport.namecheap.com/fuckthisstupidshit.cgi
21:22 asciilifeform (or tcpdump+perl)
21:22 ben_vulpes aheuahuea
21:22 mircea_popescu or hwatevers, .js
21:22 asciilifeform '#BREAKING Paris attacks not just on people of France but on 'all humanity': Obama'
21:22 asciilifeform l0ltr0n1c
21:22 mircea_popescu what ?
21:22 mircea_popescu the nation of humanity ?
21:23 asciilifeform sumthinglikethat
21:23 mircea_popescu i am starting to miss Mr Nucular.
21:23 asciilifeform ask ~him~ not me.
21:23 mircea_popescu at least that was a harmless idiot.
21:23 asciilifeform nyooooookyooooolar!!

21:23 mircea_popescu gaze upon it and weep.
21:24 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: i haven't seen many things that i could reproduce in the production environment that i couldn't reproduce in my local environments, but even for weirdness showing up in production that needs debugging there, i run the application in the browser to get it to the bad state, attach to the code running on the server (however that works for $turdlang), and inspect what the browser is doing and how the server responds.
21:24 ben_vulpes if it's weird data in the actual database, i fire up a goddamn sql terminal.
21:24 ben_vulpes trinque: help
21:24 ben_vulpes trinque: send help
21:24 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu's trying to reason about the browser shitstack
21:24 mircea_popescu im going to break into their fucking servers just to read my lousy domain list ?
21:24 ben_vulpes saas boss, they show you what they want to show you
21:24 * trinque gives ben_vulpes a can of gas and a strike-anywhere match
21:25 ben_vulpes maybe there's an endpoint you can curl to get your domain list
21:25 ben_vulpes maybe that data comes over the wire on app boot up
21:25 ben_vulpes WHO KNOWS
21:25 mircea_popescu it's beyong me how the business people can be this abandonware level stupid.
21:25 mircea_popescu seriously, let the dumbass tech kids get away with this stupid shit ?
21:25 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: it is trivially explained by 'fat cheques keep coming, while the rusty nail bat is always tomorrow and tomorrow'
21:25 mircea_popescu i'd flail them alive, stuff the skin and flail it again.
21:26 asciilifeform plz wake me up when selling tickets to this
21:26 ben_vulpes so a twist
21:26 asciilifeform i wanna watch. srsly.
21:26 mircea_popescu asciilifeform dude get the fuck off, you know what % of us corps fail ? you know average lifespan ?
21:26 mircea_popescu what "keep coming".
21:26 ben_vulpes to get "nice interactions" on mobile devices, your options are to write objective c, java, or js.
21:26 mircea_popescu they don't fucking keep coming.
21:26 asciilifeform the corpses fail, the corpses (ah) move to the next one.
21:26 asciilifeform they come.
21:26 mircea_popescu yeah, right.
21:26 mircea_popescu dream on, firefly.
21:27 mircea_popescu meanwhile you're looking for a meal ticket because the checks came.
21:27 asciilifeform aha same basic idea
21:27 mircea_popescu so they came right ?
21:27 mircea_popescu like they come for mfa/spammers.
21:27 * ben_vulpes spots a fat tailed distribution
21:27 mircea_popescu jam tomorrow, nail today, while we pretend jam today nail tomorrow.
21:27 mircea_popescu nuts.
21:27 asciilifeform the folks discussed earlier don't sit and look for tickets. they get golden parachuted and immediately hop to next gig
21:28 asciilifeform before corpse is even cold.
21:28 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes how about ban anyone who ever connects from a mobile item.
21:28 mircea_popescu "fuck you, go play angry birds. this is for real people."
21:28 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: that's what's going on!
21:28 mircea_popescu asciilifeform you only think this because you have a weird sort of delusion going where everyone else has it rosy.
21:28 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: and we haven't even gotten to the maintenance cost of this shit.
21:29 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: my weird delusion is 100% based on my to-date contact with physical reality (tm) (r)
21:29 trinque that's a feature bub
21:29 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes lost business + maintenance = "technology of progress is the future"
21:29 ben_vulpes which as trinque says is a feature of the whole thing.
21:29 mircea_popescu asciilifeform as interpreted by you!
21:29 asciilifeform aha
21:29 asciilifeform by who else.
21:29 ben_vulpes and now we know why startups can justify a staff of 150 for a web site, as if it were ever in question.
21:29 mircea_popescu the interpreter!
21:30 mircea_popescu i took over a whole fucking province with less than 150 people./
21:30 mircea_popescu if you need 150 people you're fucking wrong.
21:30 asciilifeform the one interesting observation here is that this mostly-not-works thing is the essential characteristic of 'job-creating' tech
21:30 asciilifeform if it worked, there'd be approx. 0 'help-wanted'
21:30 mircea_popescu asciilifeform that's what they said.
21:30 ben_vulpes modern ui tech is horrendously time intensive to make do things.
21:31 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: right! why does github need so many people around?
21:31 ben_vulpes or heroku?
21:31 ben_vulpes or like pick i don't know any other web tech tar baby
21:31 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: because ol' paul g. has many nephews ?
21:31 mircea_popescu anyway. i suppose what i do here is ima log in from a play box sometime, and push all the domains away in one session.
21:31 asciilifeform ... and the nephews have nephews ?
21:32 mircea_popescu asciilifeform if only. the fucktard's going to die alone like the raymond nobody loves.
21:32 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: yeah
21:32 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: i'm personally astonished you held out this long
21:32 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: playbox << that's kinda what i did.
21:32 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes i'm rich. money insulates people. TO THEIR DETRIMENT.
21:33 mircea_popescu asciilifeform you ditched namecheap ?
21:33 asciilifeform oh no
21:33 asciilifeform still there.
21:33 asciilifeform but used a 'play box'
21:33 asciilifeform that ran js etc
21:33 mircea_popescu ah
21:33 asciilifeform 'nosuchlabs' is there, that is
21:33 ben_vulpes oh man this is a riot
21:33 ben_vulpes the day mircea_popescu ran javascript
21:33 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: i'm told there are times when even rms runs js !
21:34 asciilifeform betcha he puts on a particular robe of mourning for the occasion
21:34 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes afaik opera runs a bunch of js.
21:34 mircea_popescu heck, if you recall trilema has a js based selectofunction.
21:34 ben_vulpes mhm
21:34 mircea_popescu just, this fucktardation is beyond the pale. it has TO WORK.
21:34 mircea_popescu who the fuck ok'd this is still a mystery my head can't wrap around.
21:35 ben_vulpes they cater to consumers. it's fine for them.
21:35 ben_vulpes ipxcore i don't think has any js.
21:35 asciilifeform vendor prolly tested for ie6 and called it a day
21:35 mircea_popescu o look! i get a 12 month free extension on transferred domains.
21:35 ben_vulpes lovely backyard vps provider that does domains too.
21:35 trinque can we kill dns and http yet?
21:35 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes dude get out, what consumers. this is a pro biz if there ever was one.
21:36 asciilifeform trinque: dns was never alive
21:36 asciilifeform so you can't kill it
21:36 trinque silver bullet then
21:36 asciilifeform stake
21:36 mircea_popescu asciilifeform no way this works on ie6. vendor prolly tested it on latest chrome .
21:36 * asciilifeform behind the idiot www stack timez
21:36 * asciilifeform will next see it in hell, in a cauldron
21:37 mircea_popescu omfg but they have all the dnssec theatre ! !!! they;'re so credible, with their "And then we boot the single failure point laptop from ~~~a dvd~~~" bullshit.
21:37 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: the people buying domains like slug.dance
21:37 trinque autoupdates too, so you're always safe
21:37 ben_vulpes dns, pro, lol
21:37 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes may i remind you of the "cryptsy couldn't move a bitcoin because doesn't have a bitcoin" ?
21:37 ben_vulpes dns is some dum shit
21:37 mircea_popescu the people "buying" domains like slug.dance are 98743985743987 people who ARE GOING TO, and 3 idiots that do.
21:37 ben_vulpes whatever, pennies for paupers and britni
21:37 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: what do you expect from a usg ministry. of course they have torchlight parades and weird masonic ritual
21:37 asciilifeform that sums to nil
21:39 asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=14-11-2015#1323561 << afaik this is not so. derps buy domains like there's no tomorrow, for no apparent reason
21:39 assbot Logged on 14-11-2015 02:35:56; mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes dude get out, what consumers. this is a pro biz if there ever was one.
21:39 mircea_popescu "Sergey Kabarukhin" << and they outsourced tech support to .ua
21:39 asciilifeform e.g., domains with their name, etc
21:40 mircea_popescu anyway, everyone that needs my domains : dig/write down ips, just in case.

22:02 asciilifeform i'm actually kind surprised that none of these dns records suddenly decided to point to dhs 'confiscated!1111' page, quite yet
22:03 trinque apparently all these types in the west welcome conquest with an open ass
22:03 trinque so why would they
22:04 asciilifeform trinque: i still don't see it.
22:05 asciilifeform usg decided to burn eu, so it burns.
22:05 asciilifeform snore.
22:06 trinque don't know, there were a lot of guys dressed up just like soldiers in the streets in france today
22:07 trinque against 4 or whatever it was
22:07 trinque the cutter cuts but is not a victor because the cutting is her decision
22:07 asciilifeform oh fr is conquered
22:08 asciilifeform ... by usg.
22:08 ben_vulpes ;;later tell mod6 your auto reconnect a) doesn't auth b) leaks your ip
22:08 gribble The operation succeeded.
22:08 asciilifeform ... in 1945.
22:08 kakobrekla everyone leaks.
22:08 asciilifeform ^
22:08 trinque I fail to see how USG panopticon megastate can live any longer than the soviet megastate
22:08 trinque has the same problems
22:09 asciilifeform trinque: one had a ready devourer sitting by, waiting
22:09 asciilifeform other - not.
22:09 trinque so one infection, the other cancer?
22:10 asciilifeform if it is not clear why the difference matters, consider,
22:10 asciilifeform su had a ready warm place for all the competent folks to ~defect~ (DEFECT, not flee like rats and into pederasty, but fucking defect) to
22:10 asciilifeform us - does not.
22:11 trinque how does one get coherent action out of a thing where there is so much internal conflict?
22:11 asciilifeform and since mircea_popescu is asleep, i must fill in for him and '... REAL MEN don't need warm places! they live on flesh of their enemies, and tree bark! in orbit!'
22:12 asciilifeform trinque: how does maniac swing an axe!?
22:12 asciilifeform consider how much conflict can be in his poor skull
22:12 asciilifeform and he still can swing.
22:12 trinque but we're discussing the logistics of massive empire
22:12 asciilifeform ask albert speere
22:13 trinque his thing was even shorter lived
22:13 asciilifeform aha but illustrative.
22:13 asciilifeform (incl. of 'empire with internal conflict but coherent action')
22:15 trinque for a time
22:15 trinque the effectiveness of the internal USG hierarchy is unknown to me
22:15 trinque if such a thing can be described, and it's not some other messier topology
22:15 asciilifeform effectiveness at what ?
22:16 asciilifeform if it's at keeping mircea_popescu's rusty nail baseball bat at bay, i dare say it still works
22:16 trinque accomplishing operational goals
22:16 asciilifeform if it's at supplying clean water out of the tap - it sorta works
22:16 asciilifeform if at preventing traffic jams - doesn't work, never has
22:16 trinque but "works" is not necessarily to say what topology it is
22:16 trinque perhaps pieces work
22:16 trinque and perhaps someone breaks them off in whole chunks
22:16 trinque attaches them to something else
22:17 trinque or runs them headlong into each other
22:17 asciilifeform all i can say is that usg is the only major economic actor remaining, or at least in so far as is visible from my dismal tower
22:18 asciilifeform where i live.
22:18 asciilifeform on mars, where mircea_popescu et al live, perhaps sanity prevails.
22:19 trinque yep, I have only said what I do not know
22:19 asciilifeform but here, my phone's been ringing off the hook for a week, and it almost always turned out to be usg folks
22:19 asciilifeform (apparently not everyone got the memo that i'm a dalit)
22:19 trinque admirers eh?
22:20 phf election donations?
22:20 asciilifeform no
22:20 asciilifeform inquiries re: work for hire
22:20 phf oh god.
22:20 trinque this does not surprise me
22:21 asciilifeform trinque: not so many folks outside of usg need reversing.
22:21 phf kaspersky lab!!1
22:22 trinque furthermore if I were an ogre allergic to sane computing, I would eat a man describing it
22:22 trinque :p
22:22 asciilifeform phf: i wouldn't hire a fella with u.s. passport if i were k.
22:22 asciilifeform in fact, i will lose all respect for k. if i ever learn that they did so.
22:23 asciilifeform trinque: none of the folks calling give a tinker's damn re: 'sane computing' or b-a reich or whatnot. they just want good ol'fashioned reversing.
22:23 asciilifeform but i'd still rather not perish in salt mine.
22:23 asciilifeform if can escape it.
22:26 trinque I don't care what work I do on this side of things; the stars were already coming unglued from the sky by the time I was born.
22:26 trinque but maybe asciilifeform is yet more alive
22:27 asciilifeform well as it is i have a little bit of energy & time to work on things that you lot consider mildly interesting
22:27 asciilifeform when i was in a salt mine - i did not
22:27 mats huh? I know several kaspersky employees that are americans
22:27 asciilifeform mats: and i remembered that i already lost respect, when i learned that they run shitblowz internally
22:28 asciilifeform so i can't exactly lose it again
22:29 ben_vulpes gotta love how quickly this guy goes from
22:29 ben_vulpes "gonna starve"
22:29 ben_vulpes to
22:29 mats the number of shops that don't, I can count on one hand
22:29 ben_vulpes "phone ringing off hook"
22:29 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: didja miss the line in the logz where i said ~who~ calls.
22:29 ben_vulpes the web is always there
22:29 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu's "street" for programmers
22:29 asciilifeform the nagant is also there.
22:29 mats and even those, hr types run it anyways, for word and excel and what not
22:30 asciilifeform mats: you can't count them because no public face.
22:30 asciilifeform pretty much everything with a public face and ANY 'hr types' is - by definition - salt mine.
22:30 asciilifeform it is what it is.
22:31 phf agile consultants, HR, "junior developers", etc.
22:31 asciilifeform any of them.
22:31 mats b-a doesn't run winders and is also accurately described as salt mine
22:31 asciilifeform mats: where's the salt ?
22:32 phf asciilifeform: have you had your hands on thinkpad 755cd?
22:32 mats rolling off the cheeks of the slaves doncha know
22:33 asciilifeform phf: the one with the folding keyboard ?
22:33 asciilifeform i had one, it died eons ago
22:34 asciilifeform or was that 705c.
22:34 asciilifeform what's so great about 755cd ?
22:36 asciilifeform 701c, it was.
22:36 asciilifeform not related.
22:38 phf it's a fanless 486, one of the first "multimedia" laptops, i.e. has cdrom and midi chip. seems like the kind of device to play sierra games on
22:39 phf i've been trying to track it down for a while now, was curious if you've had a personal experience with one. i suspect there are very few actual units around, though ebay has a steady supply of replacement parts

22:41 asciilifeform wtf do you need the cdrom drive for !??
22:41 asciilifeform dunno about you, i've never once touched the ~disks~ for any of these gamez.
22:41 phf phantasmagoria? :)
