[01:16] <cmaloney> woo woo
[11:39] <rick_h_> morning
[11:39] <cmaloney> morning!
[13:13] <shakes808> morning
[13:14] <mrgoodcat> morn
[13:21] <shakes808> How was everyone's weekend?
[13:23] <jrwren> excellent and wonderful but it went too quickly.
[13:23] <jrwren> how was your weekend?
[13:23] <cmaloney> Was pretty good overall
[13:24] <cmaloney> Played way too much Neo Geo Pocket.
[13:26] <shakes808> jrwren: same.  could use another day or three ;)
[13:27] <shakes808> cmaloney: HAHA!  Seriously?  You have one?!  That is awesome!  What game(s) were you playing?
[13:28] <shakes808> brings me back to road trips with the family and my Sega Game Gear
[13:29] <_stink_> game gear, the battery eater.
[13:31] <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
[13:53] <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
[13:55] <shakes808> mrgoodcat: that's shitty!  figure out why?
[13:59] <mrgoodcat> no idea yet
[13:59] <mrgoodcat> still waiting on property manager
[13:59] <mrgoodcat> good thing i have a second car
[14:00] <jrwren> did you call the police and report it stolen?
[14:03] <mrgoodcat> not yet
[14:04] <mrgoodcat> waiting on a call from the parking manager to see if it can be resolved nicely first
[14:17] <shakes808> how many vehicles do you have?
[14:48] <cmaloney> mrgoodcat: That sucks.
[14:56] <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.
[14:57] <mrgoodcat> luckily i can get to work with another vehicle. just had to go get it last night
[14:58] <shakes808> jrwren: did they tell you what company?  a buddy just started something like this.  Just wondering if it is the same thing
[14:59] <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
[15:00] <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
[15:01] <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
[15:02] <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.
[15:03] <mrgoodcat> only works if you have the requisite work flexibility
[15:03] <mrgoodcat> which i dont
[15:06] <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
[15:28] <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
[15:29] <rick_h_> though single digit mpg is a negative
[15:29] <jrwren> greg-g: yes, that counds.
[15:29] <jrwren> wow. counts.
[15:31] <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!"
[15:33] <rick_h_> greg-g: exactly!
[15:35] <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
[15:37] <jrwren> I love the gas milage of the 2012 Accord I-4.
[15:37] <jrwren> 500 miles to a tank is nice too.
[15:38] <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> :/
[15:39] <jrwren> yeah, subaru didn't focus on efficience much before the 2008 crisis.
[15:40] <jrwren> err, 2007 crisis?  when was it that gas was 4.50/gal?
[15:41] <greg-g> last week ;)
[15:41] <greg-g> kidding, though our gas is expensive out here
[15:42] <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.
[15:46] <cmaloney> t's been steadily ratcheting up
[15:46] <cmaloney> though partly because of summertime driving
[17:28] <smoser> tony's discuss post is so temping. http://paste.ubuntu.com/16870311/
[17:28] <_stink_> yes.
[17:33] <jrwren> its not really.
[17:34] <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.
[17:36] <cmaloney> But it's still a decent machine
[17:42] <jrwren> 72GB of ram... so tempting!
[17:43] <jrwren> how much does 72GB of ram cost?
[17:48] <cmaloney> Checking Crucial
[17:50] <cmaloney> 32GB of DDR-4 is ~$200
[17:50] <jrwren> so its a great deal.
[17:50] <mrgoodcat> its ddr-3 ram
[17:50] <cmaloney> For the RAM alone yeah
[17:50] <cmaloney> would make a great VBox host
[17:51] <mrgoodcat> 64G of DDR3 ECC is 400$
[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> ;)
[19:51] <mrgoodcat> smoser: what list was that posted on?
[19:52] <cmaloney> MUG Discuss mailing list
[19:52] <smoser> mrgoodcat, http://mail.mug.org/pipermail/discuss_mug.org/2016-May/000648.html
[19:53] <smoser> sorry, before couldnt be bothered to look up an actual useful link :)
[19:54] <mrgoodcat> lol
[20:16] <mrgoodcat> is that tony-smlr?
[20:40] <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.
[20:41] <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
[20:42] <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
[20:43] <mrgoodcat> it says DDR3 and ECC
