11:50:00 <gee_man> ELVIS LIVES
12:50:00 * gremlinz is now known as grem
12:50:00 * grem is now known as gremlinz
14:26:00 <sylence> hey wait; where is ldog?
15:01:00 <gee_man> didn't you say he went to gaol
15:01:00 <gee_man> or was that someone else
15:01:00 <gee_man> someone said he want to gaol
15:01:00 <gee_man> i guess he must've used again
15:02:00 <gee_man> probably peer pressure
15:07:00 <sylence> yer i know he went to court last week. i have not really been on for a while
15:11:00 <gee_man> another victim deemed by non-appointed judges that he should go [back] to gaol because he isn't 'safe enough' to be on the streets, of the prison industrial complex, as the real judge carries out the implied instructions of the non-appointed judges
15:15:00 <gee_man> can't say i agree or disagree with their decision
15:16:00 <sylence> same
15:16:00 <sylence> im not educated to that level nor do i know the full story either
15:16:00 <gee_man> he was here few a few days after his court date
15:17:00 <gee_man> i asked him how it went and he didn't say anything while i was here
15:21:00 <gee_man> australia's silicon valley is in adelaide
15:21:00 <sylence> hmm well he is not in jail then
15:21:00 <sylence> probably didnt pay his internet bill
15:21:00 <gee_man> isn't he? maybe he just left his pc on
15:21:00 <sylence> yer that too
15:23:00 <gee_man> the problem i have with australia's tech industry is that if csiro doesn't jump on it, an u.s. company will buy out any aussie tech company that seems like it has half a chance of making a dime
15:24:00 <gee_man> including all their innovations and patents
15:24:00 <gee_man> for the same reason i think it's worthwhile investing in ibm in the long term, especially over the next 20 years
15:25:00 <gee_man> ibm is the biggest patent troll of them all, and it's going to pay off huge for them when they automate their lawyers
15:29:00 <sylence> quite possibly
16:39:00 <gee_man> i've got a hypothetical
16:39:00 <gee_man> if anyone wants to play along
16:40:00 <gee_man> u.s. invades afghanistan
16:41:00 <gee_man> years pass, hatred toward the u.s. from afghans in caves simmers quietly, patiently, and inevitably
16:41:00 <gee_man> u.s. withdraws from afghanistan
16:41:00 <gee_man> the taliban reclaim afghanistan
16:42:00 <gee_man> hypothetical part:
16:43:00 <gee_man> while in caves, the taliban calculates a massive simultaneous terrorist attack on u.s. soil, so simply conceived that it can't be defended against
16:44:00 <gee_man> while widely understood that the taliban is just happy to reclaim their land, some afghans don't see it that way
16:45:00 <gee_man> 9/11 in 2001 was thought to be the best thing that muslims had done in some afghans' eyes
16:45:00 <gee_man> a select few of the taliban wants to re-do it
16:46:00 <gee_man> whether it's the same date this year, or perhaps a few days earlier to be unexpected, remains unknown
16:47:00 <gee_man> i don't usually make predictions about terrorist attacks because i've been wroong before
16:48:00 <gee_man> however today i see things differently, in a new light
16:48:00 <gee_man> everything seems to be lining up accurately
16:49:00 <gee_man> maybe i'm just getting things confused with a new wave of time travellers
16:52:00 <gee_man> it's a flux
16:52:00 <gee_man> that's all it is: a flux has been detected
16:57:00 <gee_man> sounds like that's a better thing; it ain't tho
19:25:00 <gee_man> fuck this; i'm out
19:25:00 <gee_man> bbl
21:21:00 <gremlinz> g'day
