HNNNNNGGGGG MY QUANTUM CONSCIOUSNESS FIREWALL WASN'T CLEANSING THE KARMIC INPUTS SUFFICIENTLY, SO I COMPRESSED IT INTO A ZIP FILE.

NOW IT'S A MORE POTENT DEFENCE BECAUSE OF HOMOEOPATHIC PRINCIPLES.

Fucking biocomputer psychonaut bullshit. If I ever give shroomery.org as a reference, someone 'rm -rf /' my neural storage device and put me out of my misery.

Calling a daemon a service is a matter of semantics and is a naming choice made by Windows in particular, not by proprietary operating systems in general.

Mind as a computer metaphors are seriously fucking annoying because prats like you get too caught up in making a 1 to 1 mapping between elements of either system and stress the comparison to the point of uselessness.

Stonehenge was constructed in 1953 in fact in an effort to cover up an minor imbalance in the earth's distribution of mass which if investigated would have revealed that the moon is a hologram.

Think about it.

We went primarily with string covers of the less appropriate songs we would play.

Basically a ton of these guys: https://www.youtube.com/user/OfficialVSQ

Heh. Either someone reported me on Facebook or Facebook is cracking down on weird names.

I'm guessing someone reported you, because what's a weird name? Really?

Well, Bearman had to switch today, and someone else mentioned that their neighbor switched today as well. I dunno, does Caoimhin sound like a real name to you?

Depends on whether Facebook is screening real names for "American-ness".

And that's why I figured either/or. I'm annoyed either way. I've used my Irish language name for so long that it's legitimately become a part of my sense of self. And not even out of a sense of "this is Irish me" but that's what I've gone by. Seeing my name in English feels weird in that context.

I'm going to go with no, Facebook is not screening names for "American-ness" because that would get them in a raft of trouble for blatant bigotry. Someone reported you.

I mean, they do a fair bit of screening for acceptably 'real' names: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/feb/19/native-american-activist-facebook-lawsuit-real-name

Gave presentation tonight about somewhat complex computery topic. Have given it once before but tonight's audience really knew their shit so it was more important to not be full of it.

Went well.

Outside of the scientific community, it's a little known fact that cringing is a defensive mechanism designed to protect the cringer from Nigelling. Tensing up, ducking the head and tightening the abdomen are all classic signs that a person is trying to defend themselves from an imminent attack. The attacker being defended against was unknown until recently. Modern image-capturing technology has allowed us a slow-motion glimpse at people cringing, giving us our first look at a glimmer of Nigel sidling up to each and every one of them.

We now know that when horrifically objectionable and awkwardness inducing content is viewed, Nigel will almost without fail and through the misunderstood power of quantums, make a brief appearance behind and slightly to the side of the viewer of the materal and inspect it over their shoulder, vibrating at a menacing frequency and gibbering with delight. At a primal level, the viewer of the material becomes aware of this presence and the mind recoils in horror, the limbic system tries to wrest control of the body away, misfiring the fight-or-flight engine once or twice before giving up and settling down again leaving the viewer with either a confused boner or a deep sense of shame and regret.

And Nigel? Oh, Nigel. Nigel disappears into the night to consume the awkwardness of another poor soul.

If you ever have to pitch Discordianism in an elevator, push all the buttons and exclaim loudly "DISCORDIANS ARE KIND OF DICKS" then remain silent until you reach your floor.

BUMP in lieu of PlightOfFernandoPoo making his security thread.

Recommending risky.biz for security podcasts to follow. Hard to find security podcasts which aren't just a bunch of dudebros lulzing about farts.
