<0> jasabella his old ones usually gets their hdd removed and gets a free trip out the window from the 12th floor
<1> :(
<2> yeah the macbooks are the cookers right now aren't they?
<0> he almost hit a cab the last time
<0> yeah
<1> what a waste :/
<0> his boss again just had 3 hdds fried by his stationary mac
<0> the psu surged
<2> because it was too hot?
<0> psu just started snding out too much power to the motherboard
<2> it surged?
<2> crist
<2> they're not supposed to do that.
<0> yes
<0> it isnt
<0> hehe
<0> but it did
<0> boss had to fly down to california to get a 5month old backup
<0> since the hdd writing pin scratched the hdd surface
<0> (there went his pgp disk heh)
<2> yeouch
<2> there's recovery corps for that kind athing
<0> yeah ouch.. yeah there is. and they cost 9000USD and they only said there would be 30% chance of recovery
<0> and if u miss just one bit of the pgpdisk its corrupt
<0> heh
<0> so it was cheaper to fly to california and get that than even trying to recover
<0> i tried what i could, but it was ****ed, several MB of the pgp image was simply gone
<2> that's why you make off disk backups
<2> which reminds me, I'm due for another one in a few days
<0> heh yeah he regretted not listening to me
<0> he had been making them on different discs
<0> and guess which
<0> the ones he tried one by one
<0> till the psu killed them all
<0> heh
<2> wait, sequentially?
<2> like, *plug* *zap* *unplug-and-plug* *zap*...?
<0> disk 1 was fried, he took out that, tried backupdisk A, it got fried, so he tried backupdisk B
<0> etc
<0> yes
<2> hah
<0> i was laughing so hard over the phone
<2> "The NEW boss decided to buy some tape backups..."
<0> because this is exactly what i told him
<0> you do not keep anything valuable backed up on hdd
<0> unless you have it backed up somewhere else heh
<0> computers isnt his thing tho
<0> obviously
<0> he is very good at doing business
<0> but computers just isnt his thing
<2> fair enough :)
<2> all the more reason to slap the panic button when things like that start going wrong :)
<0> this ended good tho, i designed a backup solution that runs in the background and does continuously backup to encrypted storage
<2> encrypted storage?
<2> i'm curious, how'd you implement that?
<0> yes, the pgp disks themselves are encrypted, these inturn are stored on virtual disk images using AES256
<0> and these inturn are put onto tape-drives
<2> oh i see
<3> somebody on the other channel has nick 'mishehu'
<0> so, i have the key to the storage, and the individuals has the key to their backed up data
<3> badly clashes with mine
<2> the other channel?
<3> another channel, yes
<2> rip, and i gurantee one or the other will be lost when you need them.
<0> i was tempted to say the other side
<4> Mish_: politely ask him to change nick. :)
<0> Gambit- hehe, thats just not gonna happen hehe
<3> Sgt: no, he's stubborn
<3> and it means something in hebrew
<5> Mish, won't work. He has that nick for at least as long, probably. :)
<5> s/Mish/Sgt/
<0> Gambit- theres policies in place for that too, but its not suitable to discuss here
<2> rip, fair enough :)
<4> Mush?!
<0> i spent a fair amount of time trying to make it as foolproof as i could
<6> Mush!
<4> Why not Bush when you're at it?
<0> mushroom?
<6> heh
<6> my mushroom doesn't mind
<0> what does that other words mean in hebrew mush
<4> cornmeal mush.
<4> Mesh
<0> MASH
<4> Oh, taken.
<0> :/
<7> Mesh is taken
<7> i like Mesh
<4> M3sh
<0> h@x
<8> HAHA :)
<4> heh
<8> HAHA :)
<4> M0sh: I'd take Mzsh
<9> oh wait, it's taken by Sgt
<4> which works if you use zsh.
<9> i don't
<9> OT uses zsh
<10> feh.
<4> Moose
<4> what about iMish ?
<0> the hard choices we make
<11> changing nick shall not be taken lightly
<4> every cool product nowadays has an "i" in front of it
<0> are you saying mish is a product
<12> electronic Mish
<4> yeah, he's a commodity
<2> SgtUnix, you are so 7 years behind
<4> we produce hundreds of mish units a week
<12> i'm product of my bringup
<10> ahh, the cheap version.
<12> & education
<4> Gambit-: yup, no in fact I'm 20 years behind since I'm about to order Miami Vice season 2.
<2> Sgt, yeow
<0> i heard miami vice is coming out in a movie version
<0> you know miami still looks like it did in the series
<0> :P
<4> rip: it is, starring colin farrel and jamie fox
<0> it is?
<0> are you serious?:P
<4> rip: quite the contrary, it's going to get a modern face lift, but the good news is that it's going to be directed by Michael Mann
<4> rip: who was the creator of the original series, directed movies such as Heat, etc
<0> heat was a bad*** moovie
<4> yeah
<4> so miami vice has the potential to become a bad*** movie too
<0> yes it does, but the expectatins are high
<0> i remeber walking around in downtown miami in january and thinking they should make a movie of that series
<0> they obviously stole this idea by reading my mind and putting it thru Echelon
<4> rip: it was about time..
<4> rip: unless they really **** it up, like they did with season 3 and 4.
<0> yes :/
<0> theres always that risk
<4> in season 3 and 4 the guy behind "law and order" took over
<4> and he's a moron.
<0> i dont like that series
<4> me neither
<4> suddenly all the fun went out the window
<0> i dont get how it could have been running for so long
<4> rip: season 1 was hugely popular and brilliantly made
<0> and then the rst just ****ed
<0> hehehe
<0> rest even
<4> yeah, with the exception of a few episodes in season 2
<0> and how many different forks arent there now?
<4> who knows how many shows have ben inspired by it
<13> who's ben?
<0> how many law and order shows are there now?
