| mrgoodcat | morn | 13:14 |
| shakes808 | How was everyone's weekend? | 13:21 |
| jrwren | excellent and wonderful but it went too quickly. | 13:23 |
| jrwren | how was your weekend? | 13:23 |
| cmaloney | Was pretty good overall | 13:23 |
| cmaloney | Played way too much Neo Geo Pocket. | 13:24 |
| shakes808 | jrwren: same. could use another day or three ;) | 13:26 |
| shakes808 | cmaloney: HAHA! Seriously? You have one?! That is awesome! What game(s) were you playing? | 13:27 |
| shakes808 | brings me back to road trips with the family and my Sega Game Gear | 13:28 |
| _stink_ | game gear, the battery eater. | 13:29 |
| cmaloney | shakes808: I have one, but I also found a really good emulator on Android | 13:31 |
| cmaloney | so I was checking out the titles that I didn't have yet | 13:31 |
| shakes808 | haha, sweet | 13:31 |
| mrgoodcat | it was ok until my car got towed | 13:53 |
| mrgoodcat | out of my parking lot | 13:53 |
| mrgoodcat | where i live | 13:53 |
| mrgoodcat | and pay rent | 13:53 |
| shakes808 | mrgoodcat: that's shitty! figure out why? | 13:55 |
| mrgoodcat | no idea yet | 13:59 |
| mrgoodcat | still waiting on property manager | 13:59 |
| mrgoodcat | good thing i have a second car | 13:59 |
| jrwren | did you call the police and report it stolen? | 14:00 |
| mrgoodcat | not yet | 14:03 |
| mrgoodcat | waiting on a call from the parking manager to see if it can be resolved nicely first | 14:04 |
| shakes808 | how many vehicles do you have? | 14:17 |
| cmaloney | mrgoodcat: That sucks. | 14:48 |
| jrwren | who works at ford? | 14:56 |
| cmaloney | Not I (used to) | 14:56 |
| jrwren | I just got a recruiter call for what sounds like would be a pretty interesting project. | 14:56 |
| jrwren | automation and web front end for network configuration. | 14:56 |
| mrgoodcat | shakes808: a few | 14:56 |
| mrgoodcat | only one on the property though | 14:56 |
| jrwren | if anyone wants me to pass along contact info, let me know. | 14:56 |
| mrgoodcat | luckily i can get to work with another vehicle. just had to go get it last night | 14:57 |
| shakes808 | jrwren: did they tell you what company? a buddy just started something like this. Just wondering if it is the same thing | 14:58 |
| jrwren | Ford | 14:59 |
| shakes808 | mrgoodcat: that is good. one day I strive to be like you ;) | 14:59 |
| cmaloney | Ford is trying to update their infrastructure | 14:59 |
| jrwren | shakes808: is your buddy Bob? | 14:59 |
| cmaloney | I think they're tired of giving IBM money | 14:59 |
| shakes808 | jrwren: that isn't the company that he is working for. Not sure what his company's name is, but it isn't one of the big three haha | 14:59 |
| shakes808 | cmaloney: Yeah, they are still on mainframe. they need to get up to the times haha | 15:00 |
| jrwren | GM was tired of giving HP money, so they went back to EDS. So HP bought EDS when they lost their GM contract to them. | 15:00 |
| jrwren | Private companies are so under rated. Keep things private and things like that won't happen | 15:00 |
| mrgoodcat | shakes808: haha what do you mean? | 15:01 |
| mrgoodcat | to have a spare car? | 15:01 |
| mrgoodcat | i'm driving my project car right now | 15:01 |
| mrgoodcat | i had to put the tires back on it last night so i could get to work today | 15:01 |
| jrwren | i'm trying to get to be a 1 car family instead of 2. zipcar is cheaper than buying insurance on a second car. | 15:02 |
| mrgoodcat | only works if you have the requisite work flexibility | 15:03 |
| mrgoodcat | which i dont | 15:03 |
| shakes808 | mrgoodcat: i almost had a project car, but then realized that 1. I live in an apartment and wouldn't have anywhere to work on it; 2. with the job I had then, wouldn't have any time to work on it; 3. need to save money for other more important things, like life and what not :( | 15:06 |
| shakes808 | haha | 15:06 |
| greg-g | jrwren: does 1 car and 1 RV count? We never drive the RV for normal things :) | 15:28 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: boooo, always RV all the things. never know when you might need a cold one or a bathroom break :P | 15:28 |
| rick_h_ | though single digit mpg is a negative | 15:29 |
| jrwren | greg-g: yes, that counds. | 15:29 |
| jrwren | wow. counts. | 15:29 |
| greg-g | rick_h_: "need a nap, pull over and crawl into bed! Want dinner, pull over and fire up the oven! Stink? Pull over and take a shower!" | 15:31 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: exactly! | 15:33 |
| mrgoodcat | im not actually sure which of my cars has worse gas mileage | 15:35 |
| mrgoodcat | 2004 suburban or 1983 mustang | 15:35 |
| mrgoodcat | 2016 F250 is probably sadly the best mpg | 15:35 |
| mrgoodcat | although i don't actually own that one | 15:35 |
| jrwren | I love the gas milage of the 2012 Accord I-4. | 15:37 |
| jrwren | 500 miles to a tank is nice too. | 15:37 |
| greg-g | my 2002 subaru is getting to the point where it's basically the same mpg that my 98 ford ranger had (in 2004) | 15:38 |
| greg-g | :/ | 15:38 |
| jrwren | yeah, subaru didn't focus on efficience much before the 2008 crisis. | 15:39 |
| jrwren | err, 2007 crisis? when was it that gas was 4.50/gal? | 15:40 |
| greg-g | last week ;) | 15:41 |
| greg-g | kidding, though our gas is expensive out here | 15:41 |
| jrwren | is it? its gone up a lot in the last 6mo. i dunno if commodity oil prices have gone up 25% like at the pump prices have. | 15:42 |
| cmaloney | t's been steadily ratcheting up | 15:46 |
| cmaloney | though partly because of summertime driving | 15:46 |
| smoser | tony's discuss post is so temping. http://paste.ubuntu.com/16870311/ | 17:28 |
| _stink_ | yes. | 17:28 |
| jrwren | its not really. | 17:33 |
| jrwren | did you look up the specs? | 17:34 |
| jrwren | did you look on ebay. they are often had for under $300 on ebay. | 17:34 |
| jrwren | its a 6+yrs old CPU. | 17:34 |
| jrwren | the 72GB of ram is pretty awesome. | 17:34 |
| jrwren | but even with 6 cores, that CPU is going to be slower than a i5 from a couple of years ago, for many tasks. | 17:34 |
| cmaloney | But it's still a decent machine | 17:36 |
| jrwren | 72GB of ram... so tempting! | 17:42 |
| jrwren | how much does 72GB of ram cost? | 17:43 |
| cmaloney | Checking Crucial | 17:48 |
| cmaloney | 32GB of DDR-4 is ~$200 | 17:50 |
| jrwren | so its a great deal. | 17:50 |
| mrgoodcat | its ddr-3 ram | 17:50 |
| cmaloney | For the RAM alone yeah | 17:50 |
| cmaloney | would make a great VBox host | 17:50 |
| mrgoodcat | 64G of DDR3 ECC is 400$ | 17:51 |
| mrgoodcat | on newegg | 17:51 |
| cmaloney | So yeah, you're buying the RAM at a discount and getting a machine for free. | 17:51 |
| cmaloney | ;) | 17:51 |
| mrgoodcat | smoser: what list was that posted on? | 19:51 |
| cmaloney | MUG Discuss mailing list | 19:52 |
| smoser | mrgoodcat, http://mail.mug.org/pipermail/discuss_mug.org/2016-May/000648.html | 19:52 |
| smoser | sorry, before couldnt be bothered to look up an actual useful link :) | 19:53 |
| mrgoodcat | lol | 19:54 |
| mrgoodcat | is that tony-smlr? | 20:16 |
| smoser | i dont know. that is not ddr-4 though rpboably | 20:40 |
| smoser | right ? jrwren | 20:40 |
| cmaloney | mrgoodcat: Yes, it is | 20:40 |
| smoser | 8G sticks are $25 of ddr3. so 9 is $225-ish. | 20:40 |
| smoser | http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3-12800-204-Pin-Notebook-CT102464BF160B/dp/B006YG8X9Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461776861&sr=8-1&keywords=laptop+ram+8gb+ddr3+1600 | 20:41 |
| jrwren | probably not. | 20:41 |
| jrwren | given its 6yrs old, it might even be DDR2 | 20:41 |
| cmaloney | It's ECC though | 20:41 |
| smoser | oh. thats laptop that i pointed at. i'm guessing it is ddr3. | 20:41 |
| jrwren | but even still, if its ECC, its a whole diff world. | 20:41 |
| smoser | so , yeah. its a lot of ram :) | 20:41 |
| cmaloney | I bought one of the earlier machines he was offering. It's a CAD station | 20:41 |
| smoser | other thing is that at 6 years old, its sata II | 20:42 |
| smoser | (300MB/s) | 20:42 |
| smoser | so a reasonable ssd is going to saturate that | 20:42 |
| cmaloney | Thing weighs a metric shit-ton | 20:42 |
| cmaloney | I didn't think Dell made things that heavy anymore | 20:42 |
| mrgoodcat | it says DDR3 and ECC | 20:43 |
