Показывать в метро рядом сидящим девушкам свой Openmoko FreeRunner и говорить: "Смотри, какой котёнок прикольный. Шутка. Это мой любимый текстовый редактор Emacs, я из него звоню."
"Пока apt-get работал, уже забыл, что еще хотел установить". postpone -d спасает.

Few days ago, I was told that, doing Q&A, it is not my job to care that code is stupid, buggy and actually corrupts memory outside range that was
passed to it. Time to look around for new job, I guess...

13:09 < PaulFertser> raster: why do vendors still allow to guys to do "sim unlocking"?
13:11 < raster> PaulFertser: because they have very poor concepts of security
13:11 < raster> PaulFertser: to them rtemoving a header files == security.
13:11 < raster> now u dont have the api header.. uc ant use the library etc.
13:11 < raster> thats a real belief
13:12 < raster> i kid you not
13:12 < raster> thnk of it this way
13:12 < raster> open source programmers ar egenerally good
13:12 < raster> why? in the oss world u need to rely on literally being good to keep your head above water
13:12 < raster> if you are merely average or bad — you sink
13:13 < raster> in the end the law of the jungle in oss land means that oss devs tend to be like the top 1% of engineers
13:13 < raster> so they understand thgins like security
13:13 < raster> they know removing a ehader wont do anything
13:13 < raster> they also know that putting security sensitive stuff in a shared lib as oppoed to in aservice running as root
vs ui runing as user, is much more secure
13:13 < raster> etc.
13:13 < raster> they know about making code ope and being able to use digital signatures etc.
13:14 < raster> but.. those people are not 100% of the engineers u see working in real life at the places that make thigns
like phones
13:14 < raster> they are maybe 5% of them.
13:15 < raster> so... you see modem firmwares being hackable because of an incorrect belief that they secured it already — the
wrong way.

Что-то на удивление есть похожее в том, как некоторые мои знакомые пишут программы, настраивают что-то или вообще пытаются что-то конкретное сделать:
Scene One: A tree. An apple. An ape comes and starts to shake the tree. A voice from above:
"Think, think!" The ape thinks, grabs a stick, and hits the apple off. / Scene Two: A tree. An
apple. A praporschik comes and starts to shake the tree. A voice from above: "Think, think!" / "No
time to think, gotta shake!".

``When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ``happy.'' They told me I didn't understand the assignment and I told them they didn't understand life.''
Удивительная вещь: я уже не могу вспомнить, какой была жизнь до Wikipedia. Последние несколько лет это для меня первый и, зачастую, единственный источник информации по всем вопросам, начиная от протоколов обмена и заканчивая щипцами для волос. Я думаю, в моей жизни не так уж много дней, когда бы я не посетил ни одной страницы оттуда. А у вас как?
В современном мире, полном всевозможных носимых устройств, казалось бы, каждый может найти себе игрушку по душе. А мне всего-то и хочется, так это в любой момент времени послушать любую из песен, которая вдруг вспомнилась. И нет, носить с собой винчестерный плеер постоянно мне как-то пока не хочется. Да и наушники мешаются в сумке.
На прогулке в волосы нацепилось дофига старого репейника. Просто выцеплять его из волос оказалось малоэффективным. Помывка головы тоже немного дала. Гораздо лучшие результаты получились после использования "бальзама-ополаскивателя" для волос (hair conditioner).
Понадобилось перевести ~30 строчек (интерфейс устройства) обратно из внутреннего представления (#define BLABLA "\xC4\xB5..." да еще и в koi8-r) в текстовый вид. Вначале попробовал применять printf | iconv из emacs shell. Скучно. Совместил с sed и xargs, сразу обработал все файлы автоматически. Ну и какой GUI мог с этим справиться? ;)
