[05:58] <Kilos> morning all 
[06:31] <Symmetria> morning
[06:31] <Kilos> hi Symmetria 
[06:31] <Symmetria> I wonder how long it will be before we start seeing pcs coming out with 10G NIC's as standard
[06:32] <Kilos> what are NIC's
[06:32] <Symmetria> cause with the amount of data I move around occasionally between machines at my house, I know for one I'm very very glad I decided to stick 10G stuff in them
[06:32] <Symmetria> NIC = Network Interface Card
[06:32] <Symmetria> its a network card :)
[06:32] <Kilos> ah
[06:33] <Kilos> eth or wifi as well?
[06:33] <Symmetria> modern 3 terabyte drive can read and write at way more than gigabit speeds so gig network cards are starting to become a bottleneck 
[06:33] <Symmetria> heh, my house is fiber, gig wifi exists but you don't TRUELY get gig through it, get maybe 700mbit 
[06:34] <Symmetria> was testing that stuff in Kenya the other day
[06:34] <Kilos> ah
[06:35] <Symmetria> typically you can sustain writing to a 3 TB disk these days at between 170 - 190 MBytes/second 
[06:35] <Kilos> whew
[06:35] <Symmetria> so between 1300 and 1600mbit/second
[06:36] <Symmetria> and when moving around blocks of data half a terabyte at a time, thats useful
[06:37] <Symmetria> lol, scary to think, in a second I transfer 8 or 9 times the amount of data my original harddrive held total ;p
[06:57] <Kilos> yeah technology is moving in leaps and bounds
[06:58] <Kilos> i think it was about 6 or 7 years ago i thought a 6g hdd was massive
[06:58] <Kilos> ok i started late
[08:45] <Kilos> hi tal0n 
[08:45] <Kilos> what happened to your nick?
[08:50] <tal0n> hi Kilos
[08:52] <tal0n> closer to what i wanted in the first place - talon
[08:52] <Kilos> aha
[08:52] <tal0n> assumed it would be taken (always is)
[08:52] <Kilos> yeah finding unused nicks is hard work
[08:53] <tal0n> lol indeed it is
[09:03] <Kilos> are you afrikaans tal0n ?

[09:09] <Kilos> that sucks
[09:09] <Kilos> do you know what packet up in the mobo?
[09:11] <Vince-0_> aand the ADSL isn't synching, aand this CellC 3g is buggy

[09:34] <Kilos> what did you buy Symmetria 
[09:35] <Symmetria> heh an MD1200 external disk array
[09:35] <Symmetria> with 12 x 4TB disks in it
[09:35] <Kilos> cool
[09:35] <Symmetria> and an H800 high speed eSAS raid controller to drive it
[09:35] <Kilos> thats so much better than wasting on booze
[09:35] <Symmetria> haha could buy a lot of booze for that thing ;p
[09:36] <Kilos> no too much with the prices you pay for whiskey
[09:37] <Kilos> at least the array dont get washed down the toilet later
[09:37] <Symmetria> haha I coulda bought 20 bottles of 30 year old whisky for the price ;p
[09:37] <Symmetria> but that was the last thing I needed to really finish my home setup :)
