<0> Im just taking it all in
<0> what do you want me to say
<0> ok so my computer parts are unreliably, badly designed, overly complex pieces of ****
<1> more or less.
<0> what am i going to do about it?
<1> along with everybody else's.
<0> use an old k7
<1> nothing.
<1> nothing at all.
<2> hah I'd actually like to see what'd happen to anything biological if you pumped 100 amps through them
<0> and get like 28 minutes in super pi 1m?
<0> lol
<1> Shadowc4t: its not really that interesting
<0> meltage.
<2> rukk: ok then make it 10,000 amps
<1> now we're talking >:D
<0> melty.
<2> that'll make it interesting
<0> explody?
<1> and I MAY go back to a p3 :x
<1> because there are actually competent architectures for the p3 :|
<2> heh 1 M amps, that'd be interesting
<0> STOP IT
<2> considering 1 amp is enough to kill you
<0> rukk i just dont get like
<0> ok
<0> our hardware now is ****ty
<0> but it works
<0> who cares if its not stable for like 203948 hours p95
<0> its stable ENOUGH
<0> why does it matter to you?
<2> yup, he still doesn't get it
<0> i hate you.,
<0> mmm
<0> fast.
<1> Fidelity_: it DOES effect how well things work, and how reliable things are
<1> even if you can crunch superpi for 480284320 hours, it doesnt actually mean that much about stability
<0> hmmm
<0> what if i can crunch it for 48028432 ONE
<1> don't worry abou it.
<1> about*
<0> hahaha
<0> Im jk
<1> I'm old fashioned in alot of ways. these things dont matter in the post-modern I guess.
<0> but thanks for attempting to explaining it to me....
<0> so why do you use a k7 again?
<0> it may be more well designed
<0> but its not as fast
<0> what does design matter
<0> when your using software that doesnt require it to be designed well
<0> ?
<2> see I stopped trying a long time ago
<1> mostly because I have it, I know the architecture and its ins and outs VERY VERY well, and I dont have any reason to upgrade.
<0> who cares about knowing its architecture though
<0> where does that get you?
<2> Fidelity_: goto university for six years
<1> a computer that is as close to perfectly tweaked and stable as it can get.
<2> then you'll get that answer
<1> >;\
<1> networking hardware.. some of the most unreliable **** manufactured :\
<1> what'd I miss? ;x
<0> but still
<3> well if you want awesome routers then try zyxel.. in 12 years of selling them (5-8) a month I have NEVER EVER EVER had a faulty one
<0> why do you need it that stable?
<0> theres no point?
<1> Fidelity_: fair enough
<1> now
<1> why do you have 6 cold cathodes in your caes?
<1> case*
<0> easy
<0> BLING BLANG
<1> why did you buy namebrand ram? or psu? or anything?
<0> so it doesnt burn my house down?
<1> why though? go deeper than that. what does bling mean, what does it do that makes it important
<0> so I can run it as fast as I possibly can
<1> no
<0> cathodes arent important
<0> lol
<0> theres your answer
<1> why do you even have a computer in the first place?
<0> ...
<0> because its what I do?
<1> alright, you're apparently not going to be able to answer this yourself, so I'll answer it for you.
<0> k
<1> I had a job recently sanding, varnishing and painting a beautiful little wooden boat. I was working with a old norwegian who has been doing this stuff for a living since the 50s all over the world
<1> he told me a lot of stories while we were working together, but the most interesting one, and the one I took to heart the most, was this.
<1> he asked me "why do we paint?
<1> and I pulled a few things off the top of my head.. to make things astheticaly appealing, to protect them, etc etc
<1> he said those are merely side-effects. there are better ways to do any of that stuff.
<1> he said we paint to make us happy. thats the only reason.
<0> heh
<1> so there you go
<0> well....when I said "its what I do"
<0> I pretty much meant
<0> because its what i enjoy doing
<0> it makes me happy
<1> exactly
<1> so if it doesn't make me happy anymore
<1> I wont do it.
<1> realisiticaly, what is the actual benefit of ANY of this crap?
<1> we don't really need jobs or houses or most of the stuff we collect over our lifetimes.
<1> we could survive as a species just fine without
<1> why do we need it?
<1> because it makes us happy.
<0> to...make..us happy...
<0> so knowing the architecture of your pc, knowing its stable and well designed makes you happy?
<0> well knowing mine is somewhat stable, and blazing fast makes me happy
<0> fair enough?
<1> fair enough.
<0> :)
<1> hm. you pretty much got my outlook on life :x
<0> should I feel special?
<1> nah
<0> :(
<0> I feel a tad bit wiser
<1> dont take my word for this **** though
<1> think it through yourself, come to your own conclusions
<0> isint that what i just did?
<0> Im not about to use some ****ty old k7 :p
<0> haha
<4> <1> because it makes us happy.
<4> more like
<4> because it makes life easyer
<1> not really
<0> but thats not why WE as in me and you do what we do
<0> thats a side effect :D
<1> when you get down to it, it actually makes life a lot more complex and difficult and convoluted
<1> if you want to talk big picture here
<1> Fidelity_: I meant more in general :x
<1> but yeah
<0> heh
<1> thats more or less why I'm getting out of computers, getting manual labour jobs that pay half as much, and looking at buying a little boat to cruise around on and more or less live off the land 6-9 months of the year
<0> with no internut :O?
<1> nope
<0> lies
<1> no phone, no GPS, no laptop, no internet.
<0> :|
<1> a handheld VHS radio is pushing it.
<0> that wouldnt make me happy heh
<0> but hey
<0> whatever floats your boat ;)
<1> I'm thinking I'll stick to a comp*** and a chart.
<0> GPS DAT ****
<1> meh
<0> lol
<0> no?
