<merl> the GIRL node with information multicasts on 224.0.0.233
<merl> to find out who has been elected as speaker
<merl> when the elected speaker is finished
<merl> a logical token is passed to the speaker last to request
<merl> who then transmits the negative information
<_is_> what if the token is dropped?
<merl> while all other GIRLs in the IGMP group download the negative information and assymulate as necessary
<_is_> does negative information age within the girl database?
<merl> it's UDP
<merl> when information is corrupted
<merl> the GIRL speakers all have a protocol to account for this
<merl> called
<merl> MAKE SHIT UP
<merl> when they MAKE SHIT UP
<merl> they all pass around the data to eachother
<merl> and add all the negative information together
<merl> so that the MAN in question gets in to what is called TROUBLE
<_is_> is there any way out of that state?
<merl> yes
<merl> the MAN node must change physical state and become transitory
<merl> and establish presence in a different GIRL node domain
<merl> this is affectionately called quit yer job and move to a completely different fucking place
<Cartman> be carefull that girl node does not get in wife node mode :/
<adama> as that removes any QoS between the GIRL node and MAN node.
<merl> sometimes a MAN node can combat the GIRL node worm
<_is_> ah but surely this plan is flawed... there is only a finite number of domains...
<merl> and spoof
<merl> the MAN node count to infinity expires way before the MAN node can move between even a small percentage of domains
<_is_> spoof as GIRL? surely not... thats too difficult
<merl> no
<merl> spoof as different MAN node
<_is_> too much random activity
<_is_> ah i c...
<_is_> but even secure MAN-WOMAN connections can be broken
<merl> some man nodes participate in a protocol called GAY
<merl> where they backdoor other MAN nodes and elect themselves as root
<_is_> eeek brain overload... dumping core
<merl> this causes GIRL nodes to take abnormally large amounts of interest in MAN nodes
<merl> and cease to function normally because they are in LOVE with the MAN nodes
<_is_> surely you can't su yourself
<adama> tell that to goatse man
