@Burgi Oh, I am not saying. No gender, race, religion or location questions. I want my contribution to be judged by its merit, not by what I have between my legs or what I say in my prayers (if I say any.)

Burgi

i'm just curious as to where you ran into this discrimination

user226528

You'll forget it in an hour anyway.

Burgi

no i won't

user226528

Hmm... That's what I am afraid of.

Burgi

i've already made the assumption that you aren't white or english

user226528

11:02

I will neither confirm nor deny.

user226528

And I won't point you to a chat message in which you stated a different assumption.

Burgi

i think you are a minion

user226528

O.o

user226528

Was that an insult?

user226528

Or are you implying that I am one of those creatures in Illumination films?

user226528

11:05

Well, that's an insult too. But I can argue that they don't speak English.

Burgi

they can say "banana"

user226528

ROFL!

user226528

And "bapple" too!

user226528

Although humans can say things like this:

Octopussy (software)

Octopussy, also known as 8Pussy, is a free and open source computer-software which monitors systems, by constantly analyzing the syslog data they generate and transmit to such a central Octopussy server (thus often called a SIEM solution). Therefore, software like Octopussy plays an important role in maintaining an ISMS within ISO/IEC 27001-compliant environments. Octopussy has the ability to monitor any device that supports the syslog protocol, such as servers, routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, and its important applications and services. The main purpose of the software is to alert...

user226528

11:11

It has "pussy" in it! There are no two creatures unlike each other than a cat and an octopus.

djsmiley2k

Did we not have this discussion before

and we figured out where you were?

user226528

LOL. I don't know. I neither confirm nor deny. ;)

Journeyman Geek

@FleetCommand someone is a james bond fan?

user226528

@JourneymanGeek I am sorry. I don't follow.

Journeyman Geek

octopussy is a james bond book/movie.

user226528

11:17

Does James Bond like cats or octopuses?

user226528

Oh!

Burgi

i think he shacks up with the octopussy

user226528

O.o

user226528

How can one "shack up" with an octopus, Ian Flemming book or computer program (whichever you meant)?

Journeyman Geek

of course

@FleetCommand dude....

Alright, alright. Seriously...

Bond girl

A Bond girl is a character (or the actress portraying a character) who is a love interest and/or female sidekick of James Bond in a novel, film, or video game. Bond girls occasionally have names that are double entendres or puns, such as Pussy Galore, Plenty O'Toole, Xenia Onatopp, or Holly Goodhead, and are considered "ubiquitous symbol[s] of glamour and sophistication." There is no set rule on what kind of person a Bond girl will be or what role she will play. She may be an ally or an enemy of Bond, pivotal to the mission or simply eye candy. There are female characters such as Judi Dench's M...

Journeyman Geek

(Spoilers - Octopussy is a code name/name of a character)

tho

that movie is as old as the human, so... no real excuses

Burgi

The Spy Who Loved Me is my favourite bond film

user226528

(Sigh!) Seriously. You guys know the most useless facts in the world. First Star Wars, now Bond.

Journeyman Geek

dude. do you not watch movies?

user226528

11:28

You guys made me watch Star Wars. I am not going to watch Bonds.

user226528

I watch the finest movies only.

user226528

That includes Pixar.

Journeyman Geek

I've watched almost all of them

Burgi

james bond is classic cinema!

Journeyman Geek

for some reason I've not watched spectre yet

djsmiley2k

11:29

Skyfall was good

:O

user226528

@Burgi You said the same thing about Star Wars

Burgi

skyfall was ok

@FleetCommand and i was right about that

Journeyman Geek

@Burgi there's actually continuity between bonds from lazenby to moore to dalton...

(OMSS ends when bond's wide gets killed)

user226528

Honest Trailers - Skyfall

►

Journeyman Geek

moore visits her grave

Burgi

11:30

yes

Journeyman Geek

dalton's bond refers to it in licence to kill (IIRC)

Burgi

there is a spoiler about M in spectre

Journeyman Geek

shrug

I personally don't care that much about spoilers.

Burgi

the new M is meant to be the same one from dr no

Journeyman Geek

*one

is he?

Burgi

11:32

yeah

user226528

So they ripped off Home Alone and made Skyfall.

Journeyman Geek

I always thought bond played it fast and loose with the continuity

essentially the current series is a reboot

Burgi

yeah

Journeyman Geek

and the brosnan ones are out of contnuity and jumped the shark.

which is a pity

he was a good bond with shitty movies

Unlike Lazenby...

Burgi

i liked goldeneye

Journeyman Geek

11:33

who was wasted on his co-stars.

Burgi

the tank scene is epic

Journeyman Geek

yup

but but

diamond face? Guy who feels no pain?

Burgi

that was very.... stupid

Journeyman Geek

oh

I liked goldeneye

I AM INVINCIBLE!

it is pretty funny that in The Living Daylights that Bond helps the Taliban

user226528

Whoa! There is a bond girl name "Pussy Galore", literally "a lot of cats". Hehe. ;)

Journeyman Geek

More likely the folk who became the northern alliance...

@FleetCommand ... yes. Gratuitious... cats

user226528

Oh, and there is one named "Octopussy".

Journeyman Geek

@Bob "Emily" ._.

....

Ramhound

11:38

Bond movies love naming their villains with dubious names which had double meaning

i.e. "Gold Finger"

Bob

@JourneymanGeek Sounds appropriate... azlyrics.com/lyrics/fromfirsttolast/emily.html

Burgi

i think @FleetCommand is eastern european given that he hasn't seen any bonds

user226528

@Burgi ROFLcopter! Are you under the impression that the people of Western Europe, North America, Asia and Africa are forced to watch Bond?

Ramhound

Hopefully they have not started with the most recent bond movies

because that would be a crime against humanity

Journeyman Geek

@FleetCommand no, some of us actually grew up watching these things ;p

Burgi

11:41

@FleetCommand no, i'm under the impression that ex-warsaw pact countries wouldn't see a film about a british spy defeating the soviets

user226528

Penny: "Did he just gave me the finger?" / Howard: "Not just the finger! The MOVING finger!"

Bob

@FleetCommand Gotta learn your history, y'know.

Journeyman Geek

@Burgi you do realise its been a VERY long time since the wall fell right? ;p

89? almost 30 years?

Ramhound

@FleetCommand - You didn't get notified of the Bond Law of 1962? Makes it obligated to watch Sean Connery movies

Burgi

@JourneymanGeek but as you say these were childhood films

Journeyman Geek

11:42

hah

I kinda bingewatched a ton at some point

;p

user226528

So, obviously Bond doesn't use Bond Girls for what they are meant. What does he do with them then?

Burgi

sex

Journeyman Geek

._.

user226528

@Burgi And that's how we find out Burgi has never watched a Bond movie.

Journeyman Geek

actually its just heavily implied

for all we know, they just play cards under the sheets

user226528

11:44

Oh!

Burgi

bond turns up, there is a pretty girl with access to the villian somehow, they have sex, bond wins

Ramhound

@JourneymanGeek - Recent movies make it less implied though

Journeyman Geek

@Burgi allies enemies... if its female...

user226528

@JourneymanGeek LOL. I am starring that message.

Wow. Non-Eon films don't just have Bond Girls. They have Bond Girls Galore!

jokerdino

how ancient are some of those tabs?

Bob

@jokerdino uh... 2014? 2013? on the phone

@Bob You have the same phone since 2013?

That's actually quite sensible.

5 years is my normal phone lifetime...

I like the fact that it shows that keeping the tab open, doesn't in anyway help you go back and read it

That Brazilian Pony

I think I have never bought a new phone except for it breaking or being stolen.

I plan for my next one to last many years

So I don't have to go to work today but stores and banks and ISPs are open and I take a look at my backlog and it's got pages of overdue stuff +_+'

This is caused by US trade regulations.

@bwDraco ...and first amendment. It is text, so it cannot be banned.

The text is being moved outside United States jurisdiction.

EH

I thought it was stuff like encryption that couldn't leave the states

not simple 'text'?

tho the product, maybe... i dunno confusing

laws and the digital world don't go well together

bwDraco

Encryption technology, including encryption software like OpenSSL, cannot be exported to certain countries such as North Korea and Syria.

That includes source code.

Censorship of Wikipedia

Censorship of Wikipedia has occurred in several countries, including China, France, Iran, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, the United Kingdom and Uzbekistan. Some instances are examples of widespread internet censorship in general that includes Wikipedia content. Others are indicative of measures to prevent the viewing of specific content deemed offensive. == By country == === China === Chinese Wikipedia was launched in May 2001. Wikipedia received positive coverage in China's state press in early 2004, but it was blocked on 3 June 2004 on the 15th anniversary of...

Hmm...

I guess that's more of a national thing.

user226528

According to the first amendment, United States cannot pass laws that abridge the freedom of speech.

bwDraco

Wikimedia does not want its content censored.

user226528

15:33

And now, it cannot be. They are using HTTPS now, so any country can either block their domain or leave it open. Pages cannot be selectively censored.

user226528

It is wrong to divide governments into democracies and totalitarian. First, you must divide them into benevolent and malevolent.

user226528

Benevolent totalitarian regimes have been the only regimes so far to have pushed out major landslide-scale social changes. Benevolent democratic governments are far too short-lived to do so.

user226528

In democracies, one must look up to benevolent megacorporations to push out landslide-class changes. Like Microsoft and Google.

bwDraco

Well, here's the truth. When a government excessively fears the will of its people, it inevitably goes down the totalitarian path. A dictatorship is not necessarily malevolent, but there's the problem of "absolute power corrupts absolutely".

I've been on record as saying that absolute power need not corrupt absolutely, but the more power one has, the harder it is to stay benevolent.

When you're accountable to no-one, there's no incentive to do the right thing, morally speaking.

user226528

That's true enough. I can live with that assessment.

bwDraco

15:40

Even the most pure-hearted people will find it hard to separate right from wrong.

Mokubai

@bwDraco "Power attracts the corruptible."

user226528

That's true.

bwDraco

Now, notice that I never said that it's completely impossible the way Lord Acton effectively did, but it's incredibly difficult.

@Mokubai That's true, too.

djsmiley2k

maybe aboslute power gives you vision to see the truth

I dunno

user226528

Actually, that's the prerequisite for have absolute power.

bwDraco

15:43

Sep 2 '15 at 17:56, by DragonLord

It is said that absolute power corrupts absolutely. While I see no basis for making a sweeping generalization that effectively claims that not getting corrupted by absolute power is 100% impossible (which would imply loss of free will on attaining or staying in power), human nature makes it exceptionally difficult in practice to stay benevolent in a position of power.

But the most common reason governments move towards totalitarianism is that they fear the will of the people. When governments treat their subjects as adversaries rather than law-abiding citizens, when they refuse to trust the people to do the right thing, we wind up with regimes like North Korea.

djsmiley2k

It's said that the north koreans love the glorious leader

bwDraco

@djsmiley2k Because the people are taught this way. Anyone who doesn't follow gets sent to a concentration camp.

It's their way of preventing insurrection.

The less the people see their leader as malevolent and the more they deny their people access to the truth, the less likely they'll try to overthrow their government.

Hence, ideas like smuggling flash drives.
