<0> TenBaseT: Yeah, most personal problems can be solved via the intra-cranial injection of a couple hundred grains of lead.
<1> I thought that lead poisoning by injection of a pencil in the ear.
<2> XyZzY: except pencils use graphite
<0> yeah, that would work except that it's not lead.
<0> but if you jam it in there hard enough, it will have a similar effect.
<3> man I could really go for some nc style bbq
<4> Ka-bar: hrm unshielded microwave and a wave guide?
<3> pencils are made out of graphite
<4> I like the cancer gun idea
<2> bsims: perforating part of the waveguide of someones microwave would be a neat way to kill ;)
<2> bsims: I wonder how long it would take them to figure that one out
<4> never... they shoulda checked teh seals... pinpricks are your friend
<0> wlfshmn: a few years back, some ***hole at a restaurant removed the doors to the microwave ovens, jammed the safety interlocks and left them running all the time. The ignorant, largely illegal immigrant kitchen workers didn't know any better and several of them ended up dying.
<5> DEAR OEM: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CONVINCING ME TO PAY FOR FOUR-HOUR RESPONSE ON MY $200,000 CLUSTER.
<3> they died from microwave radiation?
<0> yup
<5> I ENJOY THE ENHANCED HATRED AND LOATHING I FEEL WHEN YOU TELL ME THAT THE FAILED DISKS I RMAED ARE BACKORDERED FOR 2 WEEKS
<4> Menno: cancer and radiation poisoning
<2> Menno: You die from internal burns
<3> microwave spectrum won't give you cancer
<0> they stood there in front of the open, running ovens and literally cooked to death.
<3> you'd have to stand right in front of it
<5> microwave radiation is non-ionizing
<2> microwaves do -not- cause cancer
<3> and then not move when you feel yourself cooking to death.
<4> damn there went that thought
<3> TBT: two ****ing weeks?
<3> what bull**** oem is this?
<4> Menno: no pain receptors on teh inside
<1> so you have to set that up in a local harware store?
<0> I prefer the idea of slow poison.
<2> Menno: Actually, you could probably get burns from several feet away
<6> TenBaseT: PWNT
<2> Menno: We are talking about 1500W ovens here
<0> that way, it's hard to tell where, when and how you got poisoned.
<5> Linux Networx
<6> hahahaha!
<4> TenBaseT: Heh NewEgg it and send them the bill?
<2> The ones you have at home are probably in the 750W range, the restaurant ones nuke stuff much quicker
<6> you bought a cluster from people who can't spell HA HA
<5> bsims: thats not how things work here.
<4> wlfshmn: Mine is a 1000W
<6> man theres got to be some serious fallout from this.
<6> TenBaseT: who's getting fired at your place?
<4> TenBaseT: hrmph ask the boss if he wants it running or if he wants it by the book
<5> it's one node down out of 40, no one cares that much
<6> ah okay.
<5> it's just the priority support thing that makes me rage
<4> Ah only one node
<2> TenBaseT: but atleast they responded within 4h ;)
<3> MIPS and IRIX are dead today
<4> wlfshmn: sad part is that /was/ their priority response
<4> Menno: why do you say that?
<5> because they are.
<4> but why today and not yesterday
<5> the only people using MIPS and IRIX are places that cant migrate black box codes to some other platform.
<5> oh it's been dead for 5 years.
<5> but the carc*** didnt stink then so no one noticed.
<4> Ah I thought debian was dropping support or something
<3> bsims: SGI issued a press release today stating they won't be shipping irix or mips anymore by december.
<5> LOL
<3> support ends 2013
<7> if they're still alive in december
<4> Menno: Pity SGI used to have cool hardware
<5> I loathe SGI.
<5> the indy was the coolest thing they ever made imo.
<5> ba-DA-DA-DAH-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
<1> so was NBI
<4> nah GL was the coolest thing ever
<3> IRIX was not the coolest thing ever.
<3> Perl 4? wigga please
<5> an example of SGI doing stupid **** was putting ISDN on a workstation.
<5> their hacked up pseudo24 framebuffer was pretty clever though
<4> TenBaseT: heh but they did get openGL out to the m***es in the fullness of time
<4> Now for real ****wittery how about DEC
<5> HAY GUYS THANKS FOR PUTTING THE MAC ADDRESS IN THE ****ING NVRAM
<2> TenBaseT: that is bad?
<5> Alphas have 2 bolt holes in the middle of the CPU die. Thats ****ing cool as hell.
<5> wlfshmn: it is when your battery module is a custom hunk of ****
<2> TenBaseT: Current onboard network boards store their MAC in bios OEM strings
<2> TenBaseT: ah.. true.. this isn't volatile
<5> wlfshmn: in Flash, yes?
<2> TenBaseT: I ***ume it's in flash, yeah
<5> so when the battery dies you lose your mac and none of your licenses work
<5> on an Indy/Indigo/whatever
<3> I had to custom build a battery for my Indy.
<3> SGI seems to ***ume all their users are lying theives, too
<5> I haxored a dallas RTC clock/battery chip
<4> so what you are saying is they trained MS
<1> pretty much yeah
<3> The licencing stuff is really annoying
<4> Menno: wait for Vista
<3> I haven't stolen a copy of vista yet.
<1> oh the software rental model
<3> IBM used to lease their software
<3> they sold it off later to raise money
<3> because shareholders prefer a quarter with 1 million copies of a $1000 product being sold
<3> than 1 million customers billed $100/quarter.
<5> the only thing worse than leasing software is paying a processor fee on big iron
<0> yeah, but DECnet used the MAC address of the NIC and there was no ARP which is why they made the MAC address soft-settable.
<3> IBM sold all of those off too
<3> thus making the shareholders very happy one quarter
<5> a quarterly fee for permission to turn on the other processors in the server you already paid for
<3> then the shareholders are all confused next year when the profits aren't there.
<3> investors are goddamn retards.
<3> Sun is currently pimping the same ****
<3> Sun plans to give away hardware to sell services.
<8> moral of the story
<8> buy biege boxes. Run linux.
<8> :)
<1> that's like renting a Harley
<8> what, renting software?
<3> renting a harley is smart
<3> you don't have to pay for the repairs.
<1> Menno: yeah, but you're only pretending to be a Harley person
<8> XyZzY: 99.99% of harley people are only pretending to be harley people.
<8> they're all poseurs.
<1> well that is true too :)
<8> haha, my cow-orker is getting lynched next week
<8> so they p***ed a card around to give 'em
<8> I drew a little picture of two stick figures attached by chains to a large ball.
<0> Menno: that might have been true 15+ years ago, but new Harleys are really solid.
<3> I'm not a Harley person, although I plan to buy one soon.
<3> want to get an ancient one and restore it
<1> an Indian would be cool to restore
<0> hopefully where ancient is pre-AMF.
<0> I would never, ever touch an AMF Harley.
<3> Ka-bar: Either's fine. My father in law will endup do ing all the work; I just have to buy the parts and the original bike.
<3> He fixed up an AMF. It's still running. (Dyna Glide)
<0> Those are the ones that gave Harley its bad rep.
<8> ****, later harleys still fall apart.
<8> everyone I ever meet that's asking me about my bike tells me they have a harley
<8> I let 'em tell me about how cool it is
<8> then I ask how many miles they have on it.
<8> 2k, 4k, occasionally > 6k, and every now and then you'll come across that hardcore bastard with 100k+ on it
<1> <1000 Miles per year?
<8> and it's usually followed by "it's in the shop right now"
<8> yeah
<8> most of them just sit in the shop.
<8> some of them sit in garages.
<8> now like I say
<8> I've run into a few hardcore bastards that ride all year round every year rainsleetsnowshinefuggit.
<8> this one ole dude had 300k on his electraglide
<8> I think it was a 91 model
<1> siglite: the teacher of my motorcycle safety cl*** would be one I bet. just did 5K miles going to Sturgis
<8> he rode iron butts for sport.
<8> XyZzY: yeah, bbkf's MSF instructor would be one of 'em too. Her and her husband routinely did cross country trips.
<1> siglite: would not happen to be Wendy Ratliff?
<3> http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-2339357,00.html
<8> XyZzY: dunno
<1> siglite: oh well. got my Motorcycle endorsement now
