[01:16] woo woo [11:39] morning [11:39] morning! [13:13] morning [13:14] morn [13:21] How was everyone's weekend? [13:23] excellent and wonderful but it went too quickly. [13:23] how was your weekend? [13:23] Was pretty good overall [13:24] Played way too much Neo Geo Pocket. [13:26] jrwren: same. could use another day or three ;) [13:27] cmaloney: HAHA! Seriously? You have one?! That is awesome! What game(s) were you playing? [13:28] brings me back to road trips with the family and my Sega Game Gear [13:29] <_stink_> game gear, the battery eater. [13:31] shakes808: I have one, but I also found a really good emulator on Android [13:31] so I was checking out the titles that I didn't have yet [13:31] haha, sweet [13:53] it was ok until my car got towed [13:53] out of my parking lot [13:53] where i live [13:53] and pay rent [13:55] mrgoodcat: that's shitty! figure out why? [13:59] no idea yet [13:59] still waiting on property manager [13:59] good thing i have a second car [14:00] did you call the police and report it stolen? [14:03] not yet [14:04] waiting on a call from the parking manager to see if it can be resolved nicely first [14:17] how many vehicles do you have? [14:48] mrgoodcat: That sucks. [14:56] who works at ford? [14:56] Not I (used to) [14:56] I just got a recruiter call for what sounds like would be a pretty interesting project. [14:56] automation and web front end for network configuration. [14:56] shakes808: a few [14:56] only one on the property though [14:56] if anyone wants me to pass along contact info, let me know. [14:57] luckily i can get to work with another vehicle. just had to go get it last night [14:58] jrwren: did they tell you what company? a buddy just started something like this. Just wondering if it is the same thing [14:59] Ford [14:59] mrgoodcat: that is good. one day I strive to be like you ;) [14:59] Ford is trying to update their infrastructure [14:59] shakes808: is your buddy Bob? [14:59] I think they're tired of giving IBM money [14:59] 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 [15:00] cmaloney: Yeah, they are still on mainframe. they need to get up to the times haha [15:00] 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] Private companies are so under rated. Keep things private and things like that won't happen [15:01] shakes808: haha what do you mean? [15:01] to have a spare car? [15:01] i'm driving my project car right now [15:01] i had to put the tires back on it last night so i could get to work today [15:02] i'm trying to get to be a 1 car family instead of 2. zipcar is cheaper than buying insurance on a second car. [15:03] only works if you have the requisite work flexibility [15:03] which i dont [15:06] 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] haha [15:28] jrwren: does 1 car and 1 RV count? We never drive the RV for normal things :) [15:28] greg-g: boooo, always RV all the things. never know when you might need a cold one or a bathroom break :P [15:29] though single digit mpg is a negative [15:29] greg-g: yes, that counds. [15:29] wow. counts. [15:31] 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!" [15:33] greg-g: exactly! [15:35] im not actually sure which of my cars has worse gas mileage [15:35] 2004 suburban or 1983 mustang [15:35] 2016 F250 is probably sadly the best mpg [15:35] although i don't actually own that one [15:37] I love the gas milage of the 2012 Accord I-4. [15:37] 500 miles to a tank is nice too. [15:38] 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] :/ [15:39] yeah, subaru didn't focus on efficience much before the 2008 crisis. [15:40] err, 2007 crisis? when was it that gas was 4.50/gal? [15:41] last week ;) [15:41] kidding, though our gas is expensive out here [15:42] 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. [15:46] t's been steadily ratcheting up [15:46] though partly because of summertime driving [17:28] tony's discuss post is so temping. http://paste.ubuntu.com/16870311/ [17:28] <_stink_> yes. [17:33] its not really. [17:34] did you look up the specs? [17:34] did you look on ebay. they are often had for under $300 on ebay. [17:34] its a 6+yrs old CPU. [17:34] the 72GB of ram is pretty awesome. [17:34] but even with 6 cores, that CPU is going to be slower than a i5 from a couple of years ago, for many tasks. [17:36] But it's still a decent machine [17:42] 72GB of ram... so tempting! [17:43] how much does 72GB of ram cost? [17:48] Checking Crucial [17:50] 32GB of DDR-4 is ~$200 [17:50] so its a great deal. [17:50] its ddr-3 ram [17:50] For the RAM alone yeah [17:50] would make a great VBox host [17:51] 64G of DDR3 ECC is 400$ [17:51] on newegg [17:51] So yeah, you're buying the RAM at a discount and getting a machine for free. [17:51] ;) [19:51] smoser: what list was that posted on? [19:52] MUG Discuss mailing list [19:52] mrgoodcat, http://mail.mug.org/pipermail/discuss_mug.org/2016-May/000648.html [19:53] sorry, before couldnt be bothered to look up an actual useful link :) [19:54] lol [20:16] is that tony-smlr? [20:40] i dont know. that is not ddr-4 though rpboably [20:40] right ? jrwren [20:40] mrgoodcat: Yes, it is [20:40] 8G sticks are $25 of ddr3. so 9 is $225-ish. [20:41] 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] probably not. [20:41] given its 6yrs old, it might even be DDR2 [20:41] It's ECC though [20:41] oh. thats laptop that i pointed at. i'm guessing it is ddr3. [20:41] but even still, if its ECC, its a whole diff world. [20:41] so , yeah. its a lot of ram :) [20:41] I bought one of the earlier machines he was offering. It's a CAD station [20:42] other thing is that at 6 years old, its sata II [20:42] (300MB/s) [20:42] so a reasonable ssd is going to saturate that [20:42] Thing weighs a metric shit-ton [20:42] I didn't think Dell made things that heavy anymore [20:43] it says DDR3 and ECC
