Okay, Andrew, DONT READ THE SPOILER

Okay so Andrew's two annoying guy friends and I made a poster to put up around our school. Every year our school does these dumb elections things, and it's jsut a popularity vote. Anyhow, this year I helped them make a pretty sweet poster for Andrew.

The joke is that Andrew is actually NOT running for ASB President (The senior's can't run for anything). So we're gonna put up about 15 of these tomorrow, and hopefully they will blend in enough with the others that the faculty won't notice, but the other students will.

Here's the poster:

Fascinating story. And then what happened?

I was thinking of replying this very same phrase to someone else in another forum... They were talking about a (stupid) movie their wife picked for them to watch.

A cheesy flick from the 70's about killer bunnies!

An ex girl friend approached me once with a anime series she liked to watch together with me.
I ended up watching the original japanese version of Sailor Moon... aiwebs_029

Different rhyme...

I always heard the ol':

But I prefer:
Rape 'em, gape 'em, gaffer tape 'em. Twisted Evil

I've never been so glad to "break up" with someone in my life. Turns out they weren't actually hinting they liked me, and the only reason we started dating was because we both thought the other was hinting that the other liked them.

Of course now being friends is going to be 10x more awkward, or at least for the first week.

I have a huge weight off my shoulders now though.

well i wouldn't really call that dating. at least you got out early. i mean it could have gone on for a long time and then it would have been way worse i think.

just finished the cuckoo's egg finally. really glad i read it. gratitude to chanoire for recommending it via grenola.

the best stuff was the thick description of the state of the unix world in the mid 80s. my experience with computers consisted of failing at games launched from prodos on my dad's apple ][e at that point so this is the only way i can learn about things like that. and unix became really important to me later on so i really get into learning about it. i mean stuff like system v and bsd tripping you up if you knew one but not the other - it's the exact same thing today, exact same thing. like when grenola told me "md5 is a bsd-ism" and linux wants you to type md5sum.

of course there are tons of other things that haven't changed a bit either. i don't claim to know a lot about security but i recognized almost everything i saw from much more recent experience. the only thing i missed was hess taking passwd files in order to run dictionary attacks and i was kicking myself for that by the end of the book. of course you could use dictionaries in 1986.

but stoll's main point is something i've been thinking about a lot over the last year or so and so i was interested to see it pop up here. i usually phrase it as something like "the world is held up by goodwill" or "people are, on the whole, benign". people on slashdot like to say "never attribute to malice what you can attribute to ignorance". stoll would say "the network is built on trust". it's not as if it's possible to build something that's absolutely secure or really very secure when a lot of people have to use it. it took me a long time to understand that security and freedom are a dichotomy but i think i've gotten my head around it now. it's an important concept for people in my country right now.

and it's interesting from a philosophical standpoint because through it you can see how society functions. basically anyone who does things detrimental to society as a whole is either ignorant or an outcast from society. the latter is much more rare and dangerous. i think i've only met one of those. it's actually their rarity that allows society to exist.

it even applies to sda. so sda verification is kind of a joke but we have to take it seriously because people take it seriously if we take it seriously and it builds community. it's rhetoric that says "we care." and if we don't care then no one will. which is fine, but that means no sda and everything it has done for me.

haha at first I was afraid that was in response to my post after reading the first line.

I like nate's long "deep-thinking" posts. They're usually pretty interesting.

btw poision you can use pronouns in your post. so probably "her" and "she" in this case.
