wizardsurfI recently read an article on your site about tomboy and gnoteOct 13 02:52
wizardsurfI'm still missing something about this Mono stuff and why it's so evilOct 13 02:53
wizardsurfcan anybody explain what is all fuss about?Oct 13 02:53
wizardsurfKISS please :DOct 13 02:53
Diablo-D3wizardsurf: heres the short versionOct 13 02:54
wizardsurfDiablo-D3: hi!Oct 13 02:54
Diablo-D3microsoft is evil, microsoft pays novell to work on mono, mono is an implementation of .netOct 13 02:54
Diablo-D3microsoft needed a 2nd impl because they couldnt get it standardized if they didntOct 13 02:54
Diablo-D3code in mono (and presumably most .net impls) is patentedOct 13 02:54
Diablo-D3microsoft has given a revokable patent license to novell to smooth this overOct 13 02:55
Diablo-D3note the parts where I said "revokable" and "to novell"Oct 13 02:55
DaemonFC!google nebraska state senator sues godOct 13 02:55
DaemonFChmmmOct 13 02:55
DaemonFCoh, phirce is not hereOct 13 02:55
Diablo-D3as opposed to "irrevocable" and "to everyone"Oct 13 02:55
Diablo-D3mono is a patent bomb, and an intentional oneOct 13 02:56
wizardsurfoh i seeOct 13 02:56
Diablo-D3microsoft wants to sink linux with itOct 13 02:56
wizardsurfokOct 13 02:56
Diablo-D3there is just a small tiny flaw in their planOct 13 02:56
Diablo-D3no one actually gives a shit about .netOct 13 02:56
Diablo-D3.net itself was created as something to attack java withOct 13 02:56
wizardsurfwhy developers use mono then? and, most important to me, why someone like Miguel de Icaza work in it then?Oct 13 02:56
Diablo-D3developers _dont_ use monoOct 13 02:57
Diablo-D3they're not even using it to port .net apps to linuxOct 13 02:57
wizardsurfDiablo-D3: but how is then it integrated in applications like TomBoy?Oct 13 02:57
Diablo-D3its notOct 13 02:57
Diablo-D3I'm using gnote because its a lot smaller, a lot faster, and a lot more stableOct 13 02:58
wizardsurfdon't!!?? i'm totally lost knowOct 13 02:58
Diablo-D3wizardsurf: wellOct 13 02:58
wizardsurfyeah I switched to it right nowOct 13 02:58
Diablo-D3I said no one is using .netOct 13 02:58
Diablo-D3either on windows or through monoOct 13 02:58
Diablo-D3most programmers who've tried it find it disgustingOct 13 02:58
DaemonFChttp://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2007/09/nebraska-senato/Oct 13 02:58
Diablo-D3most new code in the world is written in javaOct 13 02:59
wizardsurfUbuntu is incorporating monoOct 13 02:59
Diablo-D3java killed .net before it even started, imoOct 13 02:59
Diablo-D3wizardsurf: yes and noOct 13 02:59
Diablo-D3they're including a single mono apps in ubuntu-desktopOct 13 02:59
wizardsurfyeah, but java requieres a *lot* more resources than other languages, altough it's pretty portableOct 13 02:59
Diablo-D3java requires a lot _less_ than mono does.Oct 13 02:59
Diablo-D3java also does a lot more than .net/mono does.Oct 13 03:00
wizardsurfI think Mr. Shuttelworth isn't a stupid one, i'm sure he knows exactly why he do thatOct 13 03:00
DaemonFCMono must really suck if it makes Java look goodOct 13 03:00
wizardsurfDiablo-D3: mono heavier than Java? lol!! that's weird!! xDDOct 13 03:00
Diablo-D3its true.Oct 13 03:00
wizardsurfDaemonFC: agree on that!Oct 13 03:01
Diablo-D3mono, the install size, is much larger than openjdk6, but does a lot lessOct 13 03:01
DaemonFCthe size on disk doesn't matterOct 13 03:01
DaemonFCthe memory consumed by an application does matterOct 13 03:01
wizardsurfhow is worldwide aceptance of mono at this time? what says the community leaders/gurus?Oct 13 03:01
Diablo-D3a c# app and a java app that do the same things, the java app will run about twice as fast and use the same or less memoryOct 13 03:01
Diablo-D3no ones using it, wizardsurfOct 13 03:01
DaemonFCMono and Java apps tend to both be fairly piggishOct 13 03:01
Diablo-D3no one has written a killer app in itOct 13 03:02
Diablo-D3not even for windows on .netOct 13 03:02
DaemonFCI'd call it a draw on just sheer technical meritOct 13 03:02
Diablo-D3and it also has zero penetration in the enterprise communityOct 13 03:02
wizardsurfDiablo-D3: that's great because once something find it's way to corporate world it's hard to cleanOct 13 03:03
Diablo-D3yeah its great for usOct 13 03:03
Diablo-D3its bad for microsoftOct 13 03:03
wizardsurfwell, thank you guys, i have a better situation about it knowOct 13 03:03
Diablo-D3wizardsurf: btwOct 13 03:04
Diablo-D3I spent 6 months trying to deal with c#Oct 13 03:04
Diablo-D3syntax wise, its 99% javaOct 13 03:04
wizardsurfDiablo-D3: you know, i *don't* like m$ but I do still love my old MSX wich mean "Microsoft Super eXtend" lol xDOct 13 03:04
Diablo-D3but the base library is missing lots of stuff java does, and mono is missing a lot .net doesOct 13 03:04
Diablo-D3and its all organized badlyOct 13 03:05
Diablo-D3and their documentation sucks, and mono depends on ms's docsOct 13 03:05
Diablo-D3after spending a whole entire month coding nothing but c#, I never want to touch it ever againOct 13 03:05
Diablo-D3shortly after I tried java again, after not touching it for a decadeOct 13 03:06
Diablo-D3I never want to use another language againOct 13 03:06
Diablo-D3java really is nearly perfectOct 13 03:06
DaemonFCbahahahaOct 13 03:06
DaemonFCif you have a 12 core 6 ghz CPU and 32 GB RAMOct 13 03:06
DaemonFCit may run OKOct 13 03:06
wizardsurfDiablo-D3: i think the way is going hardware pretty powerfull these days soon Java hogness will be a thing of the past, not because Java itself will be lighter and cool, but with quadcore processors and lot of ram gigs who will care about it, what you think?Oct 13 03:06
wizardsurfDaemonFC: hahaha rightOct 13 03:07
Diablo-D3wizardsurf: well, look at androidOct 13 03:07
Diablo-D3its for cell phones, it uses javaOct 13 03:07
Diablo-D3its really really really fastOct 13 03:07
DaemonFCI've never seen a system powerful enough to run a nontrivial Java application wellOct 13 03:07
DaemonFCnowhere near the performance of C or something like thatOct 13 03:07
wizardsurfnothing is near C when talking about performanceOct 13 03:07
Diablo-D3wizardsurf: on real machines though, java is about 1.5 tiems slower than COct 13 03:08
DaemonFCJava is like sacrificing half the performance and using double the RAM so you can be lazy when you go to port itOct 13 03:08
wizardsurfC is like coding in plain assembler but betterOct 13 03:08
Diablo-D3but java also does a lot more than C, which if you do those things in C (such as constant bounds checking and other sanity checks), C wouldnt be that fastOct 13 03:08
Diablo-D3and DaemonFC is wrongOct 13 03:08
DaemonFCa talented C programmer and a good compiler can pump out program code that rivals assembler sometimesOct 13 03:08
Diablo-D3it doesnt take double the ram, nor does it run half as fastOct 13 03:08
wizardsurfyeah, of course that's why they meant for precise purposeOct 13 03:08
DaemonFCJava just blowsOct 13 03:08
Diablo-D3java7 is also faster than 6Oct 13 03:09
wizardsurfI like SunOct 13 03:09
wizardsurfthose guys are coolOct 13 03:09
DaemonFCJava 7, now only 7 times slower than C :)Oct 13 03:09
DaemonFCheheheOct 13 03:09
Diablo-D3DaemonFC hates java for no good reasonOct 13 03:10
Diablo-D3hes never actually used itOct 13 03:10
wizardsurfI'm running a debian based distro right now but I'm anxious about trying upcoming OpenSolaris 2010Oct 13 03:10
DaemonFCit's bloated and slow and runs any CPU like a bitchOct 13 03:10
DaemonFCbest way to make your laptop into a space heater is to load something like LimewireOct 13 03:10
DaemonFCor VuzeOct 13 03:10
wizardsurfDiablo-D3: i agree with DaemonFC that it's bloated and slow and runs any CPU like a... turtle, but again, if you want to make your app very portable at a minimal effort, well java is very cool thenOct 13 03:11
Diablo-D3I'm using java every day, wizardsurfOct 13 03:11
Diablo-D3its extremely fastOct 13 03:12
wizardsurfLimewire and Vuze stinks baaaddddOct 13 03:12
Diablo-D3limewire and vuze are not good examples of a java appOct 13 03:12
Diablo-D3in fact, they were written by idiotsOct 13 03:12
Diablo-D3_any_ language lets you write bad appsOct 13 03:12
wizardsurfDiablo-D3: lolOct 13 03:12
Diablo-D3it is not unique to javaOct 13 03:12
wizardsurfDiablo-D3: yep, you are rightOct 13 03:12
wizardsurfso, the whole thing then is trying to avoid mono at all costOct 13 03:13
wizardsurfcoolOct 13 03:13
wizardsurfone last word guysOct 13 03:13
wizardsurfwhat you think about openSUSE?Oct 13 03:13
wizardsurfpersonally i don't like it very much, for a corporate distro i prefer fedoraOct 13 03:13
wizardsurfbut i'm curious about what's your opinionOct 13 03:13
Diablo-D3its one of the worst normal distros out thereOct 13 03:14
Diablo-D3and it doesnt help its turned into a vehicle to promote monoOct 13 03:14
wizardsurfDiablo-D3: agree on thatOct 13 03:14
Diablo-D3I've used debian for almost 15 years, Im not going to stop any time soonOct 13 03:14
wizardsurfso is like Stallman says days ago, Icaza is traitor then lol xDOct 13 03:14
Diablo-D3stallman is pretty much rightOct 13 03:14
Diablo-D3I dont like how he handled it, but hes rightOct 13 03:15

DaemonFCit should sufficiently spank Windows 7, Ubuntu, anything I throw at itOct 13 04:17
DaemonFCit's a powerful system in just about every wayOct 13 04:17
cubezzzI'm taking a page out of Diablo-D3's book, my next computer will be more energy efficientOct 13 04:19
cubezzzplus if it uses less power, the ups will last longerOct 13 04:20

DaemonFCI'm going to run a Phenom II X4 945 (3 Ghz), 8 GB DDR2 1066 Mhz RAM, a 1 TB 7200 RPM hard disk, and a ATI Radeon HD 4670 with 1 TB GDDR3 on a 300 watt PSUOct 13 04:22
Omar87HI all check this out: http://bit.ly/3HuOtNOct 13 04:22
DaemonFCwith room to spareOct 13 04:22
DaemonFCthe whole system will max around 220-230 wattsOct 13 04:22
DaemonFCpeople tend to buy PSUs that are way bigger and more wasteful than they needOct 13 04:23
DaemonFCit just uses power needlesslyOct 13 04:23
cubezzz"To comply with the new Energy Star 4.0 standard, a desktop PC must use under 50W in idle mode and 4W when asleep."Oct 13 04:23
DaemonFCmine is Energy Star 3.0 I thinkOct 13 04:23
DaemonFCI don't really careOct 13 04:23
DaemonFCbut it's not like I want some system that wastes s much power as it's using eitherOct 13 04:24
DaemonFCgreat way to double your electric billOct 13 04:24
Diablo-D3[11:21:36] <DaemonFC> I'm going to run a Phenom II X4 945 (3 Ghz), 8 GB DDR2 1066 Mhz RAM, a 1 TB 7200 RPM hard disk, and a ATI Radeon HD 4670 with 1 TB GDDR3 on a 300 watt PSUOct 13 04:24
Diablo-D3thats not really a problemOct 13 04:24
Diablo-D3well, it depends who's psuOct 13 04:24
Diablo-D3though I'd rather go for a 500w psuOct 13 04:25
DaemonFC"I have FELT him, my master"Oct 13 04:25
DaemonFCheheOct 13 04:25
Diablo-D3for me, my c2d e8500, a radeon 4850, 8gb of ddr2-1066, and 6 newer 3.5" 7200rpm drives take 350w at peakOct 13 04:25
DaemonFCI still remember people in the theater cracking upOct 13 04:25
cubezzzfor comparison:Oct 13 04:25
cubezzz"The new Studio Hybrid is not only Dell’s smallest-sized desktop, it’s also its most energy-efficient. The system uses only 1 watt of power when off or in hibernate mode, a frugal 26W while sitting idle, and 44W when the system is fully taxed"Oct 13 04:25
Diablo-D3I have a 600w actual psuOct 13 04:25
Diablo-D3cubezzz: A WHOLE WATT?Oct 13 04:26
Diablo-D3holy fucking christ,Oct 13 04:26
Diablo-D3wtf are they powering with that?Oct 13 04:26
DaemonFCI wouldn't want to push a 300 watt psu over 250 watts for any length of timeOct 13 04:26
DaemonFCI should be fine with what I haveOct 13 04:26
Diablo-D3DaemonFC: I wouldnt either, which is why I asked who'sOct 13 04:26
Diablo-D3pc power lists psus in actual, not peakOct 13 04:26
Diablo-D3so I basically have a 750w peak psuOct 13 04:27
cubezzz44W when fully taxed seemed pretty goodOct 13 04:27
Diablo-D3cubezzz: yes and noOct 13 04:27
DaemonFCyeah, I remember when there was no such thing as power managementOct 13 04:27
DaemonFCthe system could turn the display off, that was itOct 13 04:27
Diablo-D3it sounds like a dual core atom + ion, cubezzzOct 13 04:27
DaemonFCbefore people started worrying about CPU throttling and crapOct 13 04:27
Diablo-D3DaemonFC: well, it is pretty silly to waste powerOct 13 04:27
Diablo-D3cubezzz: you want something thats power efficient and actually runs really fast?Oct 13 04:28
DaemonFCDiablo-D3, AMD changed power management on Phenom II cause Vista is brokenOct 13 04:28
cubezzzit doesn't really say what it is, I'll have to look it upOct 13 04:28
DaemonFCVista was running threads on idling cores on PhenomOct 13 04:28
cubezzzDiablo-D3, sureOct 13 04:28
Diablo-D3okay, everybody shush why I do my magicOct 13 04:28
Diablo-D3cubezzz: how much ram that thing have? 2gb?Oct 13 04:28
cubezzzchecking...Oct 13 04:29
DaemonFCVista actually causes global warmingOct 13 04:29
DaemonFCwhat an accomplishmentOct 13 04:29
cubezzz"Up to 4GB* 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM*"Oct 13 04:30
DaemonFCmillions of PCs that can't do per core idling because Vista is bustedOct 13 04:30
Diablo-D3HAHAHAHOct 13 04:30
Diablo-D3thats totally an atomOct 13 04:30
Diablo-D3and its not even an ion I betOct 13 04:30
Diablo-D3cubezzz: so lets try 4gb in my machineOct 13 04:31
cubezzz Intel®  Core™2 DuoOct 13 04:31
cubezzz  for cpuOct 13 04:31
Diablo-D3bullshitOct 13 04:31
Diablo-D344w on a c2d?Oct 13 04:31

Diablo-D3for the lulzOct 13 04:32
Diablo-D3to see what the price isOct 13 04:32
Diablo-D3t4300 2.16ghz 800mhz fsb 1mb cache dual core....Oct 13 04:33

DaemonFCI won't do Intel or Nvidia againOct 13 04:35
DaemonFCbelieve I mentioned this, worth repeating thoughOct 13 04:35
Diablo-D3uses lolintel chipOct 13 04:35
cubezzzI'll check on ebay alsoOct 13 04:36
Diablo-D3cubezzz: dontOct 13 04:36
Diablo-D3Im trying to make a fair comparison hereOct 13 04:36
cubezzzokOct 13 04:36
Diablo-D3$674Oct 13 04:36
DaemonFCAMD/ATI are better value on low to mid-high endOct 13 04:36
Diablo-D3DaemonFC: well waitOct 13 04:37
Diablo-D3Im doing my magic hereOct 13 04:37
DaemonFCthis stuff changes all the time, but that's how the playing field is nowOct 13 04:37
DaemonFCIntel has the absolute highest end but you have to buy their most expensive stuff to get itOct 13 04:37
DaemonFCa Core i7, etc.Oct 13 04:37
DaemonFCnot worth paying triple to get a 20% performance boost IMOOct 13 04:38
DaemonFCif you want to spend your money on diminishing returns to have bragging rights til it's obsolete in a few months, it's your moneyOct 13 04:38
Diablo-D3OKAY SO WATCH THISOct 13 04:39
Diablo-D3you wanna see a computer thats twice the power of that mess?Oct 13 04:39

Diablo-D3throw in a $60 psu, newegg doesnt have the right pc power model I want for thatOct 13 04:40
Diablo-D3http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148395Oct 13 04:41
Diablo-D3it can idle at around 25 watts or so and peak at around 75 or soOct 13 04:41
Diablo-D3and is about 2 or 3 times more powerfulOct 13 04:42
cubezzzwell, it's newegg.ca for me but it looks interestingOct 13 04:42
Diablo-D3and Id really wanna swap that cpu out for thisOct 13 04:43
Diablo-D3http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103688Oct 13 04:43
Diablo-D3which is $20 moreOct 13 04:43
Diablo-D3so for $430 vs $674, I winOct 13 04:43
cubezzzdell might give free shippingOct 13 04:44
Diablo-D3Ill be generousOct 13 04:44
Diablo-D3add in another $50Oct 13 04:44
Diablo-D3Im still winningOct 13 04:44
cubezzznot that I'm advocating Dell :)Oct 13 04:44
Diablo-D3cubezzz: so, about 25 watts min power usage, 75-100 max power usageOct 13 04:45
Diablo-D3vs their 25 to 50Oct 13 04:45
Diablo-D3if I throw in $50 for shipping, Im still $150 cheaperOct 13 04:45
Diablo-D3and the dual core machine is about 4-5 times more powerfulOct 13 04:45
Diablo-D3so for the actual power of the machine, I'm a shitload more efficientOct 13 04:46
Diablo-D3as usual, I kick assOct 13 04:46
cubezzzwould you know the dhrystones for that cpu?Oct 13 04:46
Diablo-D3cubezzz: nope, and thats not the large issueOct 13 04:46
Diablo-D3you cant really measure performance that wayOct 13 04:46
Diablo-D3for example, look at the memoryOct 13 04:46
Diablo-D3single channel ddr2-667 vs dual channel ddr3-1333Oct 13 04:47
Diablo-D3my box has 4 times the memory bandwidth off the batOct 13 04:47
cubezzzyeah it sounds very goodOct 13 04:47
Diablo-D3but yeah, for being overall 5+ times more powerful and only using roughly twice the peak wattsOct 13 04:48
Diablo-D3and for being around $150 cheaperOct 13 04:48
Diablo-D3I winOct 13 04:48
cubezzzmaybe you could go solid state and save even more wattsOct 13 04:51
Diablo-D3eeeh probablyOct 13 04:51
tessierhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StRqmPHOKEc&NR=1Oct 13 04:51
tessierROFLMAOOct 13 04:51
Diablo-D3but you blow the price outOct 13 04:51
Diablo-D3cubezzz: that, and 500gb on a dumb machine really will last you foreverOct 13 04:51
Diablo-D3256 and 512gb SSDs are so fucking expensiveOct 13 04:52
cubezzzhow much?Oct 13 04:52
Diablo-D3enough that it'll make up for that $150 gapOct 13 04:52
Diablo-D3and I dont like putting singular SSDs inOct 13 04:52
Diablo-D3SSD is just not worth it yetOct 13 04:52
Diablo-D3cubezzz: now, if I was trying to fit the entire machine in under 25 watts, then SSD becomes viableOct 13 04:53
Diablo-D3but thats just pissing contest shitOct 13 04:53
Diablo-D37200.12s are already very lightweightOct 13 04:53
cubezzzless noise :)Oct 13 04:54
cubezzzyou could get a smaller SSDOct 13 04:54
Diablo-D3yeah they're really quietOct 13 04:54
Diablo-D3cubezzz: btwOct 13 04:54
Diablo-D3look at what case tha tisOct 13 04:54
Diablo-D3its the micro p180Oct 13 04:54
cubezzzyes, I sawOct 13 04:54
Diablo-D3I have the full sized one sitting next to me right nowOct 13 04:54
Diablo-D3its my case of choiceOct 13 04:54
Diablo-D3the fucker is silent no matter what you put in itOct 13 04:54
Diablo-D3now, to be fair, you could put four of those dells in the volume that mini-p180 usesOct 13 04:54
cubezzzwhat I'm wondering though, would the ssd last longer than the hard drive?Oct 13 04:55
Diablo-D3but its a size pissing contestOct 13 04:55
Diablo-D3cubezzz: noOct 13 04:55
Diablo-D3they're not SLCsOct 13 04:55
Diablo-D3cheap consumer SSDs are MLCsOct 13 04:55
Diablo-D3they die fasterOct 13 04:55
Diablo-D3cubezzz: my current vision of the timeline is like thisOct 13 04:56
Diablo-D30-5 years from now, normal drives remain awesomeOct 13 04:56
Diablo-D35-10 years from now, SSDs and normal drives battle it outOct 13 04:56
Diablo-D3after 10 years, SSDs win and normal drives die out over the 10-15 year period.Oct 13 04:56
cubezzzbut not currently?Oct 13 04:57
Diablo-D3currently? not even closeOct 13 04:57
Diablo-D3if you're using SSDs, you have an absolute need for themOct 13 04:57
Diablo-D3here you dontOct 13 04:57
Diablo-D3SSDs in consumer equipment is largely pissing contest materialOct 13 04:57
cubezzzwhat if money is no object?Oct 13 04:57
Diablo-D3money is always an objectOct 13 04:57
Diablo-D3even I, in my infinite overspending ways only buy exactly whats needed for a taskOct 13 04:58
cubezzzwhat I mean is can you buy a longer lasting SSD?Oct 13 04:58
Diablo-D3oh, I canOct 13 04:58
Diablo-D3they're just incredibly expensiveOct 13 04:58
Diablo-D3lets assume the cheapest quality drive per gb is around 12 cents a GBOct 13 04:58
Diablo-D3I can buy SSDs that are $1.20 a gb.Oct 13 04:59
cubezzzthat's not too badOct 13 04:59
cubezzz100 gigs = $120Oct 13 04:59
Diablo-D3kind ofOct 13 04:59
Diablo-D3I can buy drives that cost more, but they're specialOct 13 04:59
Diablo-D3like, SAS/600 or milspecOct 13 05:00
Diablo-D3but thats outside of the realm we're talking hereOct 13 05:00
Diablo-D3but yehaOct 13 05:00
Diablo-D3thats quite expensive for thatOct 13 05:00
Diablo-D3and remember, they come in 2^x sizesOct 13 05:01
Diablo-D3so that'd be 128gb for whateverOct 13 05:01
cubezzzok, still... not out of the questionOct 13 05:01
Diablo-D3yes BUT thats for the best caseOct 13 05:01
Diablo-D3both of them go straight up when you put more in a driveOct 13 05:01
Diablo-D32TB vs 500gb of the same series of drives, you're going to have a big difference in price per gbOct 13 05:02
Diablo-D3or 512 vs 128 for ssdOct 13 05:02
Diablo-D3cubezzz: the problem is this thoughOct 13 05:02
Diablo-D3~500 is where you dont need any more space for a boring computerOct 13 05:02
Diablo-D3512gb SSDs are too expensiveOct 13 05:02
cubezzzI could live with 128gbOct 13 05:03
Diablo-D3why are we even talking about this?Oct 13 05:04
cubezzzI am in the market for a new computer :)Oct 13 05:04
Diablo-D3http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139007Oct 13 05:04
Diablo-D3compare.Oct 13 05:04
Diablo-D3almost $300 for 128gbOct 13 05:05
Diablo-D3vs $55 for 500.Oct 13 05:05
cubezzzok, so it's rather priceyOct 13 05:05
Diablo-D3yes, it isOct 13 05:06
Diablo-D3I thought I made the point earlier, but apparently I didntOct 13 05:06
Diablo-D3http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220341Oct 13 05:06
Diablo-D3thats the cheapest nonshit driveOct 13 05:06
Diablo-D3$125 for 32gbOct 13 05:06
Diablo-D3I could buy two 750gb for that price, give or takeOct 13 05:06
cubezzzI expected it to be more expensive, but didn't realize it was _that_ much moreOct 13 05:07
cubezzzmore on the order of $3.5 per gigOct 13 05:08
Diablo-D3drives like that arent the sweet spotOct 13 05:08
Diablo-D3hrmOct 13 05:10
Diablo-D3it seems 128 is the sweet spot, at $2.21 per GBOct 13 05:10
Diablo-D3wow, SSD prices have skyrocketedOct 13 05:10
Diablo-D3I wonder whyOct 13 05:10
cubezzzdo you think ssd will completely replace hard drives in the future?Oct 13 05:11
Diablo-D3btw, the sweet spot for normal drives is 8 cents per gbOct 13 05:13
Diablo-D3thats on a 1.5gb driveOct 13 05:14
Diablo-D3cubezzz: and yes, I answered that alreadyOct 13 05:14
Diablo-D310 years from nowOct 13 05:14
Diablo-D3by 15 years from now, no one will sell normal drives anymoreOct 13 05:14
*cubezzz nodsOct 13 05:14
Diablo-D3also, holy shit has storage gotten cheapOct 13 05:15
*jono (n=jono@ubuntu/member/jono) has joined #boycottnovellOct 13 05:17
cubezzzData Storage Today also says 10 yearsOct 13 05:18
Diablo-D3its good that they agree with me thenOct 13 05:18
Diablo-D3so lets see hereOct 13 05:19
Diablo-D3ssds cost, roughly, 28 times more per gbOct 13 05:19
Diablo-D3and are only 17% as denseOct 13 05:20
Diablo-D3(assuming you fit two 2.5" drives in the space of a 3.5" drive)Oct 13 05:20
Diablo-D3thats 5.8 times less dense, btwOct 13 05:21
Diablo-D3so to be worth the expense....Oct 13 05:21
Diablo-D3they'd have to be 162 times faster.Oct 13 05:22
Diablo-D3using diablo's bizzaro logicOct 13 05:22
Diablo-D3there are drives that can do that magnitude of operations per second faster than an equivilent normal driveOct 13 05:23
Diablo-D3but its not theseOct 13 05:23
Diablo-D3(in this case, its super fast high end enterprise ssds vs a 2.5" 15krpm normal drive)Oct 13 05:23
Diablo-D3cubezzz: and this is more than you ever wanted to know about a SSDOct 13 05:24

schestowitz"The plaintiffs allege that Microsoft improperly distributed the Windows Genuine Advantage tool, without proper consent from users, in a manner normally reserved for "high priority" security updates. WGA, as it's known, tests to see if a copy of Windows is valid and delivers warnings if it doesn't pass. Microsoft's Automatic Update system lets users opt in to receive fixes and patches for the operating system."Oct 13 08:46

schestowitzkwin doesn't like windows higher than about 5000pxOct 13 10:19
MinceRwith or without compositing?Oct 13 10:28
oiaohmQuestion with that Vista AIDS edition how is MS paying the money.   If its in copies of windows products at full RRP you would have to buy a lot of them to make any difference.Oct 13 10:31
Diablo-D3schestowitz: probably 4096Oct 13 10:32
schestowitzMinceR: compositingOct 13 10:32
schestowitzThat's what messed upOct 13 10:32
Diablo-D3and thats probably the maximum texture size on your video cardOct 13 10:32
schestowitzIt got disabledOct 13 10:32
schestowitzThe translucency bitOct 13 10:32
schestowitzIn KDE3 with COmpiz I had another curious thingOct 13 10:32
MinceRschestowitz: perhaps the texture is too big for your GPUOct 13 10:32
schestowitzAfter overlaying about 22 windows (the magic number) it slowed down a lotOct 13 10:32
MinceRit would probably be too big for anyone's GPU, to be fairOct 13 10:32
schestowitzIt's fine as long as they were not on top of each otherOct 13 10:33
schestowitzThen CPU usage goes up a lotOct 13 10:33
schestowitzStress testing it might be worth for posting limitationsOct 13 10:34
schestowitzIdeally, the DE should do something to prevent itOct 13 10:34
MinceRindeedOct 13 10:34
schestowitzI could refuse to resizeOct 13 10:34
schestowitzI need to restart X to redo compsiteOct 13 10:34
oiaohmIssue is no texture splitting.Oct 13 10:36
MinceRwow, now with vista aids edition you can get both a crap pc _and_ a crap OS together, and pay extra!Oct 13 10:36
oiaohmSo when you hit max texture of video card you run into problems.Oct 13 10:36
oiaohmMinceR: question is MS really paying the 10 dollars.Oct 13 10:37
MinceRsomeone said only a small fraction of the extra tax is really paid to charityOct 13 10:37
oiaohmOr are MS using the magic RRP number to do it.Oct 13 10:37
MinceRwhat's that?Oct 13 10:37
oiaohmRecommend Retail Price.Oct 13 10:38
MinceRmy point is that it isn't only vista, it's also dellOct 13 10:38
MinceRicOct 13 10:38
oiaohmSo every time MS gives a charity a product the claim the full RRP for it.Oct 13 10:38
oiaohmOff there tax.Oct 13 10:38
oiaohmSo why should we think this AIDS thing is any different.Oct 13 10:39
oiaohmNote the charities still have to pay handling changes to get the software so its not 100 percent free.Oct 13 10:39
MinceRthe charities get sw, not money?Oct 13 10:39
MinceRoh, that's what you saidOct 13 10:39
MinceRso this isn't just a scamOct 13 10:40
MinceRthis is like a scam made out of smaller scamsOct 13 10:40
oiaohmYep MinceR I remember reading the letter from MS to a charity I work with.Oct 13 10:40
oiaohmClaiming over a 30 000 AUD donation.Oct 13 10:40
MinceRi should have expected that when m$ talks about "charity"Oct 13 10:40
oiaohmFor discounted software the charity had paid for.Oct 13 10:40
oiaohmThe real serious question is how is MS paying with the AIDS thing.Oct 13 10:41
MinceRi guess dell (hell) claims "charity" in the same wayOct 13 10:41
oiaohmDell giving hardware would be a better pay rate MinceROct 13 10:41
MinceRonly slightlyOct 13 10:42
MinceRdell hardware is crapOct 13 10:42
oiaohmWay better.Oct 13 10:42
oiaohmRemember Windows 7 Pro they give to charity  they will be claiming 700 dollars.Oct 13 10:43
oiaohmEven that the charity has paid for disk production to be correct more than disk production.Oct 13 10:43
oiaohmNote they claim even more for server version so windows.Oct 13 10:44
MinceRthey call the most expensive version "pro"?Oct 13 10:45
oiaohmNo.Oct 13 10:45
oiaohmRRP is the price no one in there right mind will pay for the item MinceROct 13 10:45
MinceRno one in their right mind pays for m$ products willingly.Oct 13 10:45
oiaohmHP harddrives 500 GB 15000 RPM RRP 1500 USD.Oct 13 10:46
MinceR(only when forced to via tying, government scams, or otherwise)Oct 13 10:46
oiaohmYes no one in there right mind pays RRP on anything.Oct 13 10:46
oiaohmThinking the same drive normal sales price is about 700 USD>Oct 13 10:47
oiaohmIe RRP is basically is at least double a sane sale price.  So you can make out you are selling a item at a discountOct 13 10:47
MinceRlolOct 13 10:47
Diablo-D3btw, I dont like those 3.5" 15krpm drivesOct 13 10:47
oiaohmBasically RRP is one of the biggest cons going.Oct 13 10:49
Diablo-D3wtf is rrp anyhow?Oct 13 10:49
oiaohmRecommned Retail Price Diablo-D3Oct 13 10:49
Diablo-D3ohOct 13 10:49
oiaohmYes the maker of the item can set it as anything as well.Oct 13 10:50
oiaohmNever has to ever sell a item at that price.Oct 13 10:50
mutex_thats why its a "recomended" price.Oct 13 10:50
Diablo-D3I think you mean msrpOct 13 10:50
Diablo-D3I have never paid msrp in my lifeOct 13 10:51
schestowitzI never bought anything from MicrosoftOct 13 10:52

Diablo-D3like, my TV downstairs has a $2000 mrspOct 13 10:53
Diablo-D3I paid $1200 for itOct 13 10:53
oiaohmmrsp and rrp is the same thing.Oct 13 10:53
oiaohmIts also called rsp or list price.Oct 13 10:53
oiaohmOpps srpOct 13 10:53
oiaohmI got it backwards in the middle of msrp.Oct 13 10:54
MinceRi too have never bought anything from m$ but the winblows taxOct 13 10:54
cubezzzI bought QuickC and Assembler :)Oct 13 10:54
cubezzzit was a long time agoOct 13 10:54
MinceRwell, also the money our government stole for m$, actuallyOct 13 10:54
MinceR(so they could buy us "free" licenses for m$ crap... twice)Oct 13 10:54
MinceR(once for campus and once for m$dn)Oct 13 10:55
MinceRin the end we have no choice, m$ keeps robbing usOct 13 10:55
cubezzzoh, they get nothing from me _now_Oct 13 10:56
cubezzzI just can't say neverOct 13 10:56
oiaohmI have always payed the least.Oct 13 10:56
oiaohmLike 699 for my house load of software many years go.Oct 13 10:57
oiaohmIe 10 copies of XP Office 1 copy of server 2003...Oct 13 10:57

schestowitzMinceR: too bad for those phones :-)Oct 13 19:35
schestowitzGPS is a trafeoofOct 13 19:36
MinceRno, gps is a featureOct 13 19:36
schestowitzPLUS, just being on a network gives them your locationOct 13 19:36
schestowitzThey can see what distance apart from antennas you areOct 13 19:36
MinceRthat's not gps and not as accurate as gpsOct 13 19:36
schestowitzAnd don't think it's not being exploted, quietly.Oct 13 19:36
MinceRand again, the manufacturer doesn't see that, only the telcoOct 13 19:36
schestowitzRMS goes further by snubbing Oyster here in LondonOct 13 19:37
MinceRand it's very hard to design a phone that isn't trackable that wayOct 13 19:37
MinceRif you're using ground infrastructureOct 13 19:37
MinceRi had an idea but it's less efficient than current cell phone networksOct 13 19:37
schestowitzMinceR: sure, you can't tell what house exactly the person visited, but....Oct 13 19:37
schestowitzIn post-mortem or people on 'the list' you can approximate based on friends on the person and their addressesOct 13 19:38
MinceR(basically, keeping the phone offline and broadcasting incoming call requests via a pager-like system, then the phone owner can decide whether to receive the call. if so, the phone goes online normally.)Oct 13 19:38
schestowitzThen you also have fabeb0rk to determine who is whose friendOct 13 19:38
MinceRanother idea would be a peer-to-peer wireless mesh networkOct 13 19:38
schestowitzYes, scary, eh?Oct 13 19:38
schestowitzSame for InternetOct 13 19:38
schestowitzNo filteringOct 13 19:38
schestowitzSo they would have no billing abilityOct 13 19:39

jonoschestowitz yeah, the reason for this is that most bug reports work like this:Oct 13 21:19
jono1. person files bugOct 13 21:19
jono2. triager has to ask reporter to provide bug reporting dataOct 13 21:19
