[03:03] <thafreak> Anyone have any experience with these new "green" hard drives?
[03:03] <vorian> thafreak: yeah, I have 2
[03:03] <vorian> work just fine
[03:08] <BiosElement> Nice. I love egotistical people who join my project, then attack me for being hostile. >.<
[03:08] <BiosElement> Perhaps pinging me every 3 minutes while I'm trying to work makes me a wee bit short... *cough*
[03:10] <canthus13> thafreak: No, but newegg's an asshole. :(
[03:10] <canthus13> wants me to pay 11 bucks shipping to RMA a bad drive. :(
[03:11] <Cheri703> canthus13: that sucks
[03:11] <canthus13> Cheri703: Yeah. Screw newegg. I'm RMAing it directly with WD.. they do advance ship. :)
[03:11] <Cheri703> I'm REALLY hoping everything arrives in good working order for my client's computer :(
[03:11] <Cheri703> very nice!
[03:12] <Cheri703> got the first item today, keyboard had to ship separately, was in a box that could have held 12 >.<
[03:13] <canthus13> Cheri703: That's where all the shipping charges go...
[03:13] <Cheri703> yeah
[03:18]  * Cheri703 is antsy tonight, but has nothing to vent the energy on
[03:19] <thafreak> Anyone know if there are issues with those green drives in software raid?
[03:19] <thafreak> I thought I read some where that certain WD drives aren't supposed to be used in raid...which I thought was nonsense...but who knows these days
[03:29] <Cheri703> blurgh
[03:38] <canthus13> thafreak: Check the reviews on newegg.  They usually mention stuff like that.

[05:44] <BiosElement> Awesome
[05:44] <BiosElement> Failure
[05:44] <BiosElement> Again
[05:45]  * Cheri703 wants her own island
[05:46] <Cheri703> sovereignty ftw
[05:50] <BiosElement> Ah
[05:51] <BiosElement> Oh for the Microsoft freesoftware 'ban', that's bullshit.

[05:51] <BiosElement> ^GPL is the key issue, from mypoking around, MIT'd and similer are fine.
[05:51] <BiosElement> GPL is an issue since it's specifically designed to break systems like the 360 >.<
[05:52] <BiosElement> Which is why I always laugh at people developing GPL stuff for console
[06:23] <Unit193> Any #! users try the XFCE version?

[17:34] <BiosElement> Never buy a product from Sony. Ever.

[17:34] <BiosElement> They will simply steal it back.
[17:34] <Cheri703> saw that
[17:34] <BiosElement> It's amazing
[17:35] <BiosElement> THey even advertised their other-os feature, then steals it away. I can't understand how they think they can get away with that.
[17:41] <Unit193> What would you prefer? an Xbox? (or Wii)
[17:43] <Cheri703> I'd take an older ps3...
[17:43] <Cheri703> that still had the features
[17:44] <BiosElement> Heh Me? Well I own an Xbox, but i'd probably prefer a Wii anymore
[17:44] <Unit193> Would you use alt f/w? (I think I would... I don't think online play is all that needed)
[17:44] <BiosElement> Even if nintendo needs to get off their assd and get a console with a real freaken graphics system

[17:49] <Cheri703> my brother is giving his wii to a coworker who gave him a nexus one a few months ago
[17:50]  * Cheri703 thinks it should go to his awesome sister :(
[17:55] <canthus13> Heh.
