21:21.39DiscordianRMS wants an OLPC instead of his thunkpad
21:29.26Armand..?
21:29.55DiscordianOLPC=one per child pc project
21:30.12DiscordianVery innovative technology
21:30.22Armandppfff.. fucking cheapskate kids..
21:30.33Armandshould buy thier own PCs.. spongers.
21:30.39DiscordianThunkpad=expensive IBM laptop
21:30.43halieven the kinds in africa?
21:30.47ArmandYeah..
21:30.57halii like the handcrank on it, seet idea
21:31.08ArmandThey are the worst spongers, always on adverts begging and shit.
21:31.15Armandhahaha
21:31.19Discordianit's a well conceived project
21:31.37ArmandNah, I'm just being a 'tard..
21:31.45ArmandIt's not something I really care about tbh.
21:31.46Discordianand the technology is very interesting
21:32.12ArmandCan't be arsed with charity and such, I've got too much shit to deal with myself.
21:33.38DiscordianThe network tech in the OLPC would transform the western world too
21:34.47ArmandHows that?? I seem to have missed the point completely with that.
21:35.01DiscordianWhat was the quote about the internet, censorship and routing around it
21:35.20ArmandErm, Tor??
21:35.23ArmandDunno
21:35.30DiscordianNot anent Tor
21:35.52DiscordianBut the OLPCs do mesh networks
21:35.53Armand?!
21:36.17Armandwifi mesh, to share 1 connection, like range-extenders and such?
21:36.26Discordiananent=related to
21:36.30Armandahh
21:37.29Discordianthey do mesh stuff even when in sleep mode
21:37.35Armandcool

21:37.52ArmandO_O
21:38.05ArmandShame wifi is sucky for gaming. :P
21:38.42DiscordianNot quite the point
21:39.04ArmandI know. ;)
21:39.08DiscordianIf they sold in the UK , you could build a new net with them
21:39.23ArmandBad enough now the russians have figured out the internet. :P
21:39.48Discordianwhat?
