| FiReSTaRT | lol | 14:18 |
| FiReSTaRT | im assuming we're talking about ubuntu tablet remix? | 14:19 |
| FiReSTaRT | interesting concept | 14:19 |
| FiReSTaRT | and finally some use for unity :P | 14:19 |
| FiReSTaRT | got better chances of working out than wimo or rim | 14:20 |
| FiReSTaRT | especially with the focus on security and performance | 14:20 |
| FiReSTaRT | that'll attract the corporate/gov users and could result in more desktop penetration | 14:23 |
| FiReSTaRT | brb | 14:27 |
| FiReSTaRT | back | 14:30 |
| * genii-around slides FiReSTaRT a fresh mug of joe | 14:31 | |
| * FiReSTaRT dumps a double espresso-shot into it and chugs it back | 14:31 | |
| bregma | the tablet remix is not the same as Ubuntu for tablets | 14:31 |
| FiReSTaRT | thanks for the correction.. i meant ubuntu for tablets | 14:31 |
| genii-around | I wonder how many *buntu developers are also ex-Maemo/MeeGo people. They seem to be taking the same route of convergence, like Tizen | 14:38 |
| FiReSTaRT | tizen is another interesting project.. got the backing of intel and samsung, so it can make a tough contender | 14:48 |
| FiReSTaRT | for now i'm liking the ubuntu hook - performance, security, desktop integration | 14:48 |
| FiReSTaRT | should get some office drones to use ubuntu at home | 14:48 |
| FiReSTaRT | tizen will need an honest effort in order to elbow its way into the market | 14:49 |
| bregma | genii-around, on the order of a handful or so | 14:50 |
| bregma | but it's coincidence, I assure you | 14:51 |
| bregma | they just ahppened to be looking for work at the right time and had the right skillsets | 14:51 |
| FiReSTaRT | btw guys, canada computers has samsung 840 (not pro) in 120GB for $95... getting one to run the os/packages/swap on my main desktop | 15:17 |
| FiReSTaRT | gonna keep a clunker for /home | 15:18 |
| DarwinSurvivor | FiReSTaRT: don't SSD's die quickly when used for swap? | 18:37 |
| FiReSTaRT | DarwinSurvivor: not when swap almost never gets used other than to hibernate :P | 18:38 |
| FiReSTaRT | i got 32GB of RAM :D | 18:38 |
| * bregma remembers an argument in high school over whether you could ever fill 4 k of RAM | 18:57 | |
| genii-around | Even in those days, probably you could. | 19:04 |
| FiReSTaRT | the smallest i had on a desktop computer was 4MB | 19:11 |
| FiReSTaRT | that's not counting the C=>64 i used as a gaming console and sold for my first modem or various routers i had in the past | 19:12 |
| FiReSTaRT | current one is running 128MB | 19:12 |
| * genii-around tries to remember how much ram his VIC20 and PETs had | 19:13 | |
| bregma | I certainly couldn't afford 4k, magnetic core memory was expensive, I was limited to 256 bytes (2x 2101 CMOS chips hand-soldered with telephone wire) | 19:14 |
| genii-around | bregma: Yeah, that's WAAAAAAAY back! | 19:15 |
| bregma | believe me, I feel it in the mornings | 19:15 |
| genii-around | bregma: Did you ever build one of those HeathKits? | 19:16 |
| bregma | couldn't afford a Heathkit, I built a COSMAC ELF | 19:16 |
| bregma | http://www.incolor.com/bill_r/elf/html/elf-1-33.htm | 19:16 |
| bregma | of course, there was inevitably a bad solder joint somewhere and it never worked right | 19:17 |
| bregma | now I can just emulate one using Wine in a VM on my phone | 19:18 |
| bregma | :) | 19:18 |
| BobJonkman | Friend of mine had an Altair in 1975 with 256 bytes of memory. He went to the States, declared "one computer" crossing the border, bought a whopping 4K of memory (I seem to recall the sum of $1000 bandied about), then declared "one computer" coming back... | 19:34 |
| BobJonkman | I only ever saw it run one program, "Kill The Bit". After he toggled the program in (using front-panel switches), the data lights on the front panel flashed in sequence. If you flipped the corresponding data switch at the same time, you won the game! | 19:36 |
| genii-around | bregma: Looks primitive but cool to build | 19:39 |
| FiReSTaRT | ughhhh my dsl crapping out had to switch to cable | 19:57 |
| FiReSTaRT | hopefully a cpe reboot fixed whatever was buggin | 19:58 |
| FiReSTaRT | ill find out after work :) | 19:58 |

| FiReSTaRT | oops sorry | 21:58 |
| FiReSTaRT | this was meant for another # | 21:58 |
