<0> MadScribe- you're getting a little too crazy with this latency stuff
<0> MadScribe- just accept that it's probably your code :)
<1> it's not
<1> problem is IT on the other end blames us (easy way out)
<1> drive across town to another place not on the same network it works fine
<0> MadScribe- you need to take the more politically correct route and try to get IT to improve their monitoring
<1> you should be quite happy, able to play wow on an upgraded computer
<0> Mark's?
<0> he's on it now
<0> I was thinking about (finally) getting started on my blog
<1> yah
<0> well, it will be nice to play without the video card overtaxing the power supply and rebooting
<0> but after all those reboots, the wow files are all f-ed up and the game crashes all the time
<0> the repair utility says "Too broken. Reinstall, please"
<1> i have nothing to blog about, i work, i play wow, i oc***ionally go out
<1> heh, yah, that's a bad sign
<0> I wonder if I have any electrical tape
<0> my laptop power supply is getting a little borked
<1> my laptop has been happy since i replaced the hd, but i'm thinking it's time to get a new machine
<1> a desktop that is
<1> problem is they cost an arm and a leg
<1> and before buying a computer i'd rather work on a new car
<1> especially when most pcs i look at run around 4K
<2> I still can't believe sub killed the kernel
<2> Hello madstuff
<1> sup chu
<1> ltns
<2> thanks
<0> $4k?
<0> I thought pc's were supposed to be affordable :)
<2> He wants a mac
<2> He's seen the light
<3> less of an arm and a leg than a laptop, MadScribe
<2> Hello TGEN
<3> heya chuey
<2> How is the semi ***y?
<3> semi?!?
<0> you can get a dual proc mac pro for less than $4k
<3> 100% ***y!
<2> :)
<1> and play what?
<2> The "semi" always get people riled up :)
<1> like 4 games?
<3> chu: you rioter you
<1> i don't see mac on the horizon for me anytime soon
<2> TGEN: Not nearly as bad as sub. He killed the kernel.
<2> MadScribe: You can get your WoW fix on the mac
<0> $4444 = 2x 3GHZ Xeon, 2GB ram, 2x 500GB hdd, 512MB video card
<3> MadScribe: DIY dual socket LGA771 board, 2x Xeon 5160, couple of sticks of FB-DIMM, etc
<1> TGEN: when i priced one out at either alienware or eagle it was like 9K for the edge
<3> chu: so we'll have to promote another lieutenant?
<0> os x 10.5 is going to have multi-threaded opengl, so graphics stuff will start getting a lot faster on os x
<0> you can read about it a little bit on the wow forums
<3> ofcourse, don't buy stuff at companies where they run 300% margins
<1> and i still see very few people making anything for the mac
<2> TGEN: :)
<3> when I said DIY, I really meant DIY
<1> the market is too small by comparison
<0> alienware is BS
<0> if you're building pc's, go with newegg
<3> yeah, from what I;ve seen newegg offers decent prices
<0> (also good for fixing pc's, mac, and soekris)
<2> TGEN: You can get newegg from across the pond?
<3> MadScribe: in any case, if you buy a complete system you're guaranteed to be ripped off :)
<3> chu: no, but I do get to see their ads
<1> mspo: yah, i did that as more of an experiment, i laughed later that day when i saw someone driving their new car with the price sticker on the front for like 13,887
<3> (well, I don't know, maybe newegg ships to the old world as well)
<1> hell, the car i want only cost 27K+
<4> heh
<0> what car?
<2> howdy yeled
<0> are you going to try and join the Z club with mark?
<1> i'm eyeing the Jeep Comp***
<4> hello chu, boys.
<2> yeled and chu are kindred spirits
<2> we/re both da poor
<3> I saw a picture of a Jaguar concept the other day, C-XF
<1> hola mspo
<3> now that's a sweet car
<1> er
<1> yelled
<1> yeled even
<3> hi yeled
<1> TGEN: well out of my range
<0> I really can't recommend a jeep
<4> i am shagged. i have wrestled with linux software raid and lvm all weekend
<2> not rich like MadScribe who can afford 5K pc's
<1> chu: and when's your next trip to china?
<1> chu: poor men stay in one country and have steady jobs
<2> MadScribe: In 2 weeks
<1> <----
<0> chu- MadScribe has a pretty sweet living arrangement :)
<4> still dont understand how to boot from raid
<2> mspo: I know he does
<1> if i can figure out how to get all of me in that one room
<3> MadScribe: Mazda 'Ryuga' concept also looked pretty slick, had 300SL-like doors
<3> MadScribe: but I guess that'll be in the price range of the RX-8, if it ever makes production
<1> TGEN: i like the jeep b/c i can sit up a bit higher, when i driving my mom's jeep i found that i didn't have to swerve to make turns here, in my corolla it's like folks are daring me to slow down in front of them
<1> the comp*** also gets 27/30 which, while not as good as the corolla, isn't bad
<3> MadScribe: you sound like my mom
<0> MadScribe- I don't have any problems with people in my neon
<5> yeled, how was it? :)
<3> "in an MPV/SUV/othersuburbiatruck I have more oversight"
<1> mspo: turning into this parking lot is like playing a game of chicken
<0> MadScribe- I'll know soon enough. We're moving like next month
<1> when i hit the brakes in the jeep people behind me slow down
<4> fdiab, how was what
<0> I like the RX8 better than the RX7
<3> me too
<0> my friend has an RX7
<1> at any rate, before i buy i want to have half the car's sticker price in the bank
<1> back to work for me
<3> hehe
<0> I was thinking about getting a small truck
<0> but the gas milage isn't good enough
<0> I like those euro van-type cars
<0> they're starting to come out here
<3> there's a new VW diesel on the market here which does an average of 1L/26km
<0> TGEN- I have no idea what that means :)
<3> mspo: you mean those MPVs? Or those Japanese vans?
<0> TGEN- I'm looking one up for you now
<0> hmm, I thought peugeot had them
<3> mspo: 0.264172051 gallon / 16.155651 miles
<3> if that makes more sense to you ;)
<2> In the U.S. you get about 100gallons/live
<0> so 16x4 = 64MPG
<0> TGEN- I think the japanese have more of these, but something like a big hatch back
<0> like the renault new scenic
<3> mspo: ah, the scenic is an MPV
<0> that's the euro SUV?
<3> no
<3> a euro SUV would be something like a Range Rover, Hummer, Escalade, that sort of thing
<0> okay
<3> basically the same as in the US
<3> we also have our wiggers, you know ;)
<0> the honda fit is pretty cool
<0> yeah, I like MPV's
<0> they're like station wagons :)
<3> there's also a lot of Japanese/Korean SUVs here
<3> well, MPVs are for women *cough* ;)
<0> TGEN- I'm not generally into muscle cars and stuff. My auto needs aren't that masculine
<3> relatively high driver position, lots of windows, room to stuff a lot of kids, etc
<0> sounds perfect
<0> TGEN- http://toyota.jp/p***o/index.html
<3> err, yuck
<0> this site features wiggly tomatoes :)
<3> no worky without flash ;)
<0> TGEN- you can't get tomato wiggles without flash
<3> why do all these car sites require flash
<0> so they can get fancy
