[23:59:55] <Gravis> the technology should exist in about 50 years
[23:59:07] <Gravis> the electronics would be based on a different tech, QCA (quantum dot cellular automata) rather than CMOS.
[23:57:00] <Gravis> oh and it's strechy
[23:56:19] <Gravis> sticks to your skin (gecko style), it's paper thin and the (passive) display is also a solar cell
[23:54:30] <takyon> do you have an Ubuntu Edge-esque vision? something flat and bendy? way better battery?
[23:53:46] <takyon> what's that
[23:53:03] <Gravis> takyon: actually, i have already thought about what would constitute a good smartphone and the truth is that our technology just isn't advanced enough
[23:51:23] <takyon> I think I saw a MediaTek 6-core put in a flip phone last year
[23:51:04] <takyon> if I see a significant dumbphone launch, I'll report on it
[23:51:00] <Gravis> takyon: yeah, it's a good phone. it's not a shitty smartphone.
[23:50:38] <takyon> there you go then
[23:50:03] <Gravis> my cell phone goes weeks before needing to be charged
[23:49:49] <takyon> nothing will ever be good enough for you, Gravis
[23:49:28] <Gravis> not a chore, just makes it a shitty phone
[23:48:58] <takyon> since presumably you end up sleeping and near an outlet once every 24 hours
[23:48:39] <takyon> plugging it in at the end of the day is not such a chore
[23:48:06] <Gravis> sure... now it can last a day and a half!
[23:48:00] <takyon> are you talking about a phone in your pocket, every phone you've ever used, something from 5 years ago, what?
[23:47:37] <takyon> the ARM chips used in phones have had big improvements every generation
[23:46:37] <Gravis> it might make a decent phone if that's all you used it for
[23:45:54] <Gravis> well it's using the other shitty functions that causes the battery to be expended
[23:44:13] <takyon> not really
[23:43:43] <Gravis> that sacrifices all the other things it's shitty at
[23:43:21] <takyon> put it in power saving mode
[23:42:56] <Gravis> yeah... it requires near constant charging
[23:42:51] <takyon> what are you even talking about? sound quality? reception?
[23:42:31] <takyon> shitty at calls, really?
[23:41:26] <Gravis> every one*
[23:41:20] <Gravis> yeah... and it's shitty at everyone of those things.
[23:40:31] <takyon> GPS, calls, web browsing
[23:40:06] <takyon> it's the camera you always have on you
[23:38:25] <Gravis> smartphones make for shitty phones and shitty computers but somehow being shitty at multiple things makes it smart
[23:35:10] <Gravis> aka, "yeah, everyone wants to hear my phone calls" mode
[23:33:22] <Gravis> oh, it's the, "no i don't mind putting you on speaker phone" mode
[23:32:16] <paulej72> you hold it flat as a table with one had with the speaker side pointed to your mouth. THat is how I see people talk on theire phones
[23:32:03] <takyon> well that russian... what was it, yotaphone? had a good premise: one regular screen and one e-ink screen, so you can read with more battery life
[23:30:22] <Gravis> and if you are like, "well won't your hand be in the way?" then you are holding it wrong!
[23:29:57] <Gravis> no, it's so when you are talking on the phone, the other side changes to, "FUCK OFF, CLOWNS!"
[23:21:07] <chromas> it makes reverse cowgirl into regular cowgirl
[23:20:50] <chromas> You need two screens so we can read your texts and porn backward
[23:20:26] <paulej72> and no matter what side is sdown I scratch a screen
[23:19:48] <paulej72> its not like its a flip phone
[23:19:29] <paulej72> why do I need two screens on a phone

[17:21:13] <AndyTheAbsurd> Of course! We know you can't be responsible with your money so we're going to force you to be irresponsible with it!
[17:10:12] <nick> $70 in cash is 'suspicious' spending upto $40 potentially by accident is apparently fine.
[17:08:53] * nick still quite unhappy about 'contactless' payments upto £30

[17:02:53] <nick> are/after
[17:02:33] <nick> and of course now, for the final phase of physical currency they're going with the 'plastic' notes are heavy lobbying by the company who makes plastic notes for other countries.
[17:02:02] <nick> the us seems to have done ok at keeping notes in circulation, here they seem to like to change them every few years so you can't keep a cash stash buried in the yard for too long.
[17:02:00] <mechanicjay> The only places I see 100's regularly are Hardware stores where contractors frequent (and there is a lot of cash business going on ) and grocery stores...for whatever reason.
[17:01:14] <mechanicjay> AndyTheAbsurd: same here. $100's are viewed with skeptecism by many retailers.
[17:01:14] <nick> similar here to not seeing £50s
[17:00:47] <AndyTheAbsurd> The largest bills I see in regular circulation are $50s.
[17:00:26] <AndyTheAbsurd> AFAIK, hardly anyone uses $100 regularly anyway
[16:59:46] <nick> "
[16:59:46] <nick> "Lawrence Summers, the former Treasury secretary and former adviser to President Obama, has argued that the United States should get rid of the $100 bill. "The fact that in certain circles the 500 euro note is known as the “Bin Laden” confirms the arguments against it," says Sanders. "Technology is obviating whatever need there may ever have been for high denomination notes in legal commerce."

[16:32:45] <nick> next time i'll go to tesco and see who registered an account online recently
[16:27:02] <AndyTheAbsurd> It wouldn't piss me off so much if tesco didn't want a confirmation of the post code used when the account was created in order to reset the password.
[16:26:11] * AndyTheAbsurd is kidding and understands that the UK is much too big for that to be feasible
[16:25:57] <AndyTheAbsurd> do me a favor, go find the jackass who used my GMail address to register for an account with tesco.com and give him a kick in the nuts for me.
[16:25:45] <nick> hopefully not much longer, but am currently resident
[16:24:43] <nick> aye
[16:24:22] <AndyTheAbsurd> Hey nick, are you in the UK?
[16:24:03] <nick> i managed to acquire some bacon, so bacon sammiches now

[15:13:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> but there is always cooler stuff, yeah
[15:13:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, at the very least everyone gets to shoot their rifle and toss a couple grenades
[15:13:02] <nick> i'd imagine 'the cool stuff' is for many the carrot that you never quite reach?
[15:12:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, i'm pondering breakfast myself
[15:12:45] <nick> i need to go get some lunch or something

[15:09:46] <exec> 05*** SN funding is currently $697
[15:09:25] <nick> not saying that people don't do it in the UK for very good reasons, but it's not as easy to associate i'd say
[15:09:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, bit of a cultural disconnect. even though we're somewhat similar, we ain't the same.
[15:09:02] <nick> more of a 'if you're lucky, the queen might walk by you one day in a parade, or perhaps you get killed having to protect her grandchildren on the battlefield'
[15:08:06] <nick> TheMightyBuzzard: from your and Runaway1956's perspectives, i think it probably helps that 'America' the army you joined, is more of an idea that you can believe in. Whereas my perspective on say the british armed forces can't really engage with the UK/Britain as an idea.
[15:08:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar. cyas.
[15:07:59] <Runaway1956> I've skimmed enough headlines - headed for bed - have fun!
[15:07:31] <Runaway1956> More Turkish genocide.

[15:07:16] <Runaway1956> Most of those become policemen when they get out
[15:07:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> hell of a lot more of them in the cops though
[15:06:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> but yeah, there are some dickwads in the military who can't wait for a pair of jackboots.
[15:06:46] <Runaway1956> Except - there ain't no cake, Buzz.
[15:06:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'like with pj being boss dev. i can either choose to listen to his authority or i can choose not to and fuck off to greener pastures.
[15:06:14] <nick> ok i think i understand a little better now
[15:04:42] <Runaway1956> In the US, "we" are the authority - "we the people". Washington D.C. has no power that we do not grant to them. And, Washington hates us for reminding them.
[15:04:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> also, we CHOSE to enlist. having that be our decision makes all the difference.
[15:03:49] <nick> Runaway1956: to a point you're right with that, but equal number of the veterns i've encountered have decided they're the authority.
[15:03:22] <Runaway1956> We also understand power.
[15:03:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> damnit, now Gravis has me wondering wtf unit i was with last. it's gonna bug me all day but i'm not digging through paperwork.
[15:03:15] <Runaway1956> Veterans understand authority - where it derives from, where it begins and where it ends.
[15:02:34] <Runaway1956> HA HA! Nick, it's a very common attitude amongst veterans. 8 years Navy here.
[15:02:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> nick, good authority takes care of its business and doesn't interfere with yours.
[15:01:59] <Runaway1956> Today, authority guns you down before you get close enough to kick them in the nuts.
[15:01:56] <nick> TheMightyBuzzard: find that an interesting perspective from someone with a military background
[15:01:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> question, hell, always give authority the finger. and kick it in the nuts if you can manage.
[15:01:03] <Runaway1956> "WTF you beating me with those batons?"
[15:00:49] <Runaway1956> Always, question authority.
[15:00:26] <nick> my brain couldn't process not doing that, breakfast and all that.
[15:00:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> fight tha powah!
[15:00:13] <nick> i did
[15:00:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'when you look at them and finish your sammich
[14:59:50] <nick> bastards.
[14:59:36] <nick> i'd driven 30 miles to get there in a company car, and someone says i can't eat a sandwich while i'm being kept waiting?
[14:59:08] * TheMightyBuzzard chuckles
[14:58:58] <nick> i was in shock more than anything, having been out of highschool a few years by then
[14:58:40] <nick> i'm not one for implied authority, i'm just having breakfast, you can't tell me what to do
[14:58:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> too greasy. gotta watch the old cholesterol
[14:58:15] <Runaway1956> That's about the time you should have taken a bite out of that staff member.
[14:57:43] <nick> and the most i got there was being offended that someone on the staff told me i couldn't eat in the hallways.
[14:57:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> lately they've been big on no-platform-ing speakers who don't toe the PC line
[14:57:26] <nick> but as i'm essentially a highschool dropout, i didn't get to experience that, except when being paid to go on courses.
[14:57:11] <Runaway1956> I think my son does that . . . .
[14:57:02] * Runaway1956 dreams about wandering around campus, shouting trigger words
[14:56:54] <nick> i'm sure there's all sorts of bullshit that goes on in the colleges and universities
[14:56:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod
[14:56:01] <nick> and we're headed the same place from different directions
[14:55:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, i heard about yalls speech police bullshit happening on campuses up there
[14:55:44] <nick> in the crudest terms, the 'elite' have selected the worst parts of both UK and US society to model progress on
[14:55:09] <nick> it's a different shade of shit from what the US is going through, and where i can relate with tmb, the ends are much the same.
[14:54:49] <Runaway1956> Bring it.
[14:54:19] <nick> i don't plan on being here
[14:53:51] <Gravis> nick: you say that now but just wait until purge day. :P
[14:53:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> twenty years ago, forty years ago, i was all kinds of at home being an american. nowadays i barely recognize the place.
[14:53:04] <nick> if the uk wants to leave the eu, reinstate the death penalty and abolish 'human rights', then go for it people, if you think it's your country.
[14:52:35] <nick> the uk can do what it wants, i don't feel a part of it except for having been born here.
[14:52:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> nick, ya, me too. yall are, in general, in favor of the illusion of safety and one day being much like the last over liberty. it's just yalls thing and more power to yas.
[14:51:01] <Runaway1956> No need for that passive aggressive shit, Gravis - open up and tell us what you really mean.
[14:50:56] <nick> regardless if that is right or not, my sovereign state reminds me that i am only alive by the grace of the queen, and i should not question what happens in our very old process
[14:50:24] <Gravis> Runaway1956: to be fair, if i was your neighbor, i'd consider killing you too. ;)
[14:50:14] <nick> TheMightyBuzzard: it's not me, just a different perspective. if the uk wants guns, they can have them, but i understand the situations which has lead to the population being happily disarmed
[14:49:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> Gravis, me too. good luck with it, being unarmed and all.
[14:49:38] <Runaway1956> I doubt that there is an unarmed neighbor within ten miles of my house
[14:49:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> nick, yall can keep the no guns thing if you like. soverign nation and all.
[14:49:32] <nick> lucky you
[14:49:24] <Gravis> looking forward to purge day
[14:49:11] * Runaway1956 is out of the large cities
[14:48:56] <nick> Runaway1956: let me make sure i'm out of large cities before that becomes a policy
[14:48:50] <Runaway1956> I'd rather some dumbass kills himself with a gun, than support his retarded ass for all his life.
[14:48:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> Gravis, you can't make me mad. you're not important enough.
[14:48:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> Runaway1956, exactly
[14:48:00] * TheMightyBuzzard laughs
[14:47:57] <Runaway1956> Let anyone who wants a gun have one - Darwim will sort them out.
[14:47:32] <Gravis> pff... yeah, making up shit. real brave. sure, i was in the army too... and so was my dog. -_-
[14:47:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> last one i was with? hmm.... reserve unit out of norman oklahoma. i forget.
[14:46:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm old and broken down
[14:46:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> none nowadays of course
[14:45:28] <Gravis> which unit?
[14:44:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> army
[14:44:31] * TheMightyBuzzard rofls
[14:44:19] <Gravis> yeah yeah... the coast gaurd, how brave.
[14:44:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> now get enough of you pussies to stand up for your own liberty and i'll join you. until then, enjoy the boot on your necks.
[14:43:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's what my dd214 says, sure nuff
[14:42:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> sure sure
[14:42:38] <Gravis> they have a name for people like you: cowards.
[14:42:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's a suicide run, i gain no benefit for myself and the rest of you lot aren't worth the life of one good man.
[14:42:14] <Gravis> you are all talk
[14:41:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm certainly not going to bother for my own sake.
[14:41:47] <Gravis> TheMightyBuzzard: you're a hypocritical pussy, that's all.
[14:41:29] * TheMightyBuzzard shurgs
[14:41:26] <Gravis> +a
[14:41:22] <Gravis> what cop out
[14:40:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> the rest of you aren't worth saving from them.
[14:40:02] <Gravis> TheMightyBuzzard: so what's stopping you?
[14:39:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> Gravis, it is a time honored tradition.
[14:39:21] <Gravis> TheMightyBuzzard: so you want to put politicians to death?
[14:38:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> on that we can agree. every politician for instance.
[14:38:39] <Gravis> plenty of people have abused their right to life. ;)
[14:38:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> having a moderate or high likelihood is not enough
[14:38:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> you do not deprive someone of a right unless they have abused it.
[14:37:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> tomato, tomahto
[14:37:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> Gravis, show me anyone who's mentally stable.
[14:37:08] <Gravis> TheMightyBuzzard: it's common sense, not precrime
[14:36:47] <Gravis> TheMightyBuzzard: so you want mentally unstable people to have guns?
[14:36:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> otherwise you're getting into minority report pre-crimes
[14:36:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> unless and until you prove you can't be trusted with one, you should be.
[14:35:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> and some people shouldn't. those who've used them improperly.
[14:34:54] <Gravis> TheMightyBuzzard: i just think some people should not have guns
[14:34:38] <Gravis> TheMightyBuzzard: nope, you got it wrong.
[14:34:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> and the right to defend your own life is pretty fucking fundamental.
[14:34:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> Gravis, how are you not? your every breath involves wanting to take rights from others.
[14:33:57] <nick> being around a lot of stupid people with guns
[14:33:52] <nick> an example i was thinking of is someone with a lot of exposure, being around guns a lot
[14:33:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> nick, there are ways to solve that. gun education. you fear things you aren't familiar with. become familiar.
[14:33:23] <Gravis> TheMightyBuzzard: how am i a tyrant?
[14:32:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> Gravis, and you're a tyrant. what's your point.
[14:32:52] <nick> i don't think those people, sensibly choosing not to carry a weapon, are stupid for doing so. there are lots of precautions you can take, but i don't think having a gun at all times should be a reasonable measure for everyone.
[14:32:22] <Gravis> TheMightyBuzzard: you are a fool... more specifically, a zealot
[14:32:13] <nick> i know people who do not feel comfortable around guns, regardless of all the exposure they've had to them, they do not trust themselves, or other people around them to take proper care of them
[14:31:49] * TheMightyBuzzard pulls the pin and tosses it to Gravis
[14:31:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> Gravis, sure, here's yours
[14:31:27] <Gravis> well let's just give hand grenades to everyone
[14:31:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> take rapes for instance. if the woman is armed, she goes away unraped ~97% of the time.
[14:30:27] <nick> it would take a steep and bloody learning curve for the UK to accept guns again
[14:30:11] <nick> but at the same time, say the UK decided to let people have guns, the people wanting them would be the last people that should have them
[14:30:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> nick, if you have the means to prevent something and choose not to use it, it is your fault.
[14:29:53] <nick> as i said, i'm not for gun control
[14:29:38] <nick> but i dont really think the world is as harsh to believe you should be carrying a gun, and if you don't, then you're responsible for being a victim in some way
[14:29:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> nick, look at switzerland. every house there has an assault rifle. how's crime compared to the uk?
[14:29:07] <nick> i'm not for gun control, even though ive lived all my life without owning or using a gun, or even seeing any really.
[14:28:44] <nick> whatever one that starts the personal arms race, when everyone has a gun you just need a better one and to shoot first, if humanity is apparently as cold and brutal as tmb describes
[14:28:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> and yes, nick, i'll take liberty over life every single time.
[14:28:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> and teaching basic fucking gun safety solves all but those deserving of a darwin award.
[14:27:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> Gravis, there are more child-killed gun homocides in the us than accidental gun deaths.
[14:26:54] <Gravis> nick: which ideology is that?
[14:26:33] <nick> more children might die, but it would be for the right ideological reasons at least
[14:26:11] <Gravis> TheMightyBuzzard: so you are willing to sacrifice people's children for a theoretical reduction in burglary?
[14:24:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> you'd also be decreasing a hell of a lot of other crime.
[14:24:22] <Gravis> TheMightyBuzzard: you would be increasing the number of people that die regardless of if you stop people from doing mass shootings
[14:24:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> most accidental deaths happen around the home. prefer to live on the street out of fear?
[14:23:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> Gravis, and?
[14:23:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> switzerland does and their crime rates are minimal compared to the rest of europe.
[14:23:18] <Gravis> TheMightyBuzzard: you do know that most gun deaths are accidental, right?
[14:22:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> Gravis, we need to arm every single household.
[14:22:24] <Gravis> TheMightyBuzzard: because we need to arm every loon that wants a gun?
[14:22:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> Gravis, not an option.
[14:21:58] <Gravis> TheMightyBuzzard: yeah... it could be prevented by not letting just anyone get a gun
[14:21:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> like i will happily blame grown-ass women for getting raped if they aren't packing.
[14:21:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> when it's a preventable problem, fuck yes.
[14:21:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> Gravis, damned skippy. if they were armed they could have shot back.
[14:21:22] <Gravis> TheMightyBuzzard: victim blaming is your answer to mass shootings?
[14:21:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> AndyTheAbsurd, yes, and? 1/12 is a safe bet
[14:20:59] <Gravis> TheMightyBuzzard: so it's the fault of the victims?
[14:20:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> we simply have too many "please protect me, officer" pussies in the nation nowadays.
[14:20:30] <AndyTheAbsurd> Bullshit. Even in that link you posted with the 12 example, there's at least one where the armed citizen fired no shots for fear of hitting innocent bystanders.
[14:19:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> AndyTheAbsurd, if there weren't shots fired back, it's a safe bet.
[14:19:19] <AndyTheAbsurd> We can't know that there wasn't an armed citizen nearby.
[14:18:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> how many of them do you think would have failed to make the list if there were another armed citizen nearby?

[04:50:20] <SirFinkus> it's clearly a guitar wank song

[04:45:18] <SirFinkus> those more specific evocations are more cultural probably
[04:44:57] <SirFinkus> yeah, that's engineerable
[04:43:51] <Deucalion> To me, it just sounds like the entire track is in some discordant minor key. Same goes for War Pigs and Paranoid on the same album. The Wizard track on the other hand is all upbeat but still not in a major key.... it conveys benevolent threat but not imminent doom. Perhaps it is the cowbell :D

[04:27:19] <SirFinkus> it's innate actually
[04:27:02] <Deucalion> I'm not sure how the frequency of a wave should invoke an emotional fear response in the recipient - as those tones do. Is that response innate or learned? That sequence of tones is one of impending doom. But why?

[04:06:39] <SirFinkus> night Bytram|away
[04:06:36] <Bytram|away> laters!
[04:06:34] <Bytram|away> anyway, time for bed.
[04:06:26] <SirFinkus> if you aren't paying for the electricity, why not?
[04:06:24] <Bytram|away> that would explain why there was a BC article there nearly every wek or so.
[04:06:01] <Bytram|away> if the site is staying up, and there spare computes available, why NOT use 'em to mine bitcoins?
[04:05:51] <Deucalion> most places are now running DCs at ~85F - DCs are no longer the chilly places they used to be. The costs of AC versus hardware reliability at elevated temps turned on their head.
[04:05:43] <SirFinkus> curious about the GPU specs
[04:05:25] * Bytram|away suspects /. was mining BC on their AWS instances using a baackground proces
[04:05:10] <SirFinkus> 2010?
[04:04:55] <Bytram|away> AWS also has systems with GPUs, and realize that not that many years ago, one could mine coins on a laptop.
[04:04:02] <SirFinkus> they'd lose money on electricity and cooling
[04:03:53] <SirFinkus> probably not a lot, since cpu mining is a waste of money
[04:03:25] * Bytram|away wonders how many 'spare' cycles AWS were applied to bitcoin mining... for testing purposes, of course
[04:03:14] <Deucalion> depends if it is cpu or gpu bound
[04:02:42] <SirFinkus> can't imagine it'd be cheap
[04:02:30] * Bytram|away chuckles
[04:02:07] * Deucalion ponders how much AWS spendage would be required to grab #1 position :D
[04:00:20] * Deucalion is reminded, need to get off ass and reload the dust gathering lump on the floor...
[03:59:49] <SirFinkus> or if they found like 10 primes with prime95 in a day or something
[03:59:31] <SirFinkus> if they blew everyone else out, it'd be good promototion
[03:59:22] <SirFinkus> if it's good at folding, dwave should have a team
[03:58:43] <takyon> most of it relates to D-Wave

[03:58:14] Bytram is now known as Bytram|away
[03:58:09] <Bytram> and I think, with that, I'm going to call it a night.
[03:57:51] <Bytram> lol
[03:57:47] <takyon> [citation needed]
[03:57:44] <takyon> problems with lots of atoms or particles involved are where quantum computers are supposed to excel
[03:56:41] <Bytram> we can do so much more, so much faster, than could be done a few years ago.
[03:56:23] <Bytram> I suspect that is part of the reason we are making such fast progress... I'd expect that the production of many of those teams came from using older/slower tech.
[03:56:05] <SirFinkus> isn't quantum computing only good at solving very specific types of problems?
[03:55:23] <takyon> one of these days the whole folding@home concept will be replaced by a couple of quantum computers and all that classical computing power will be obsolete
[03:53:46] <Runaway1956> And, that is where we'll hit our brick wall - when we catch up to those who are returning only ~50,000 points per day.
[03:52:26] <Bytram> if I estimate correctly, at today's rate, in one week we would have moved up from 3595th place to 2800th place or so... not too shabby!
[03:50:45] <Runaway1956> Ever been on another crunching team? Teams just tend to fall apart after awhile. People don't check their computers, just lose interest - that's why we're breezing past so many right now.
[03:48:37] <cmn32480> some places must have it running on everybody's computer...
[03:48:26] <SirFinkus> or make someone feel uncomfortable
[03:48:20] <SirFinkus> if it doesn't piss someone off, it probably isn't good art imo
[03:47:54] <Deucalion> SirFinkus, I remember experiencing Black Sabbath's first album as an impressionable youth... "Oh lord, please god help me......." - a very dark album, but isn't that the point of music? To make you feel something.
[03:47:13] <cmn32480> prolly pretty likely
[03:47:08] <cmn32480> yeah
[03:46:13] <SirFinkus> I suspect we're going to hit a wall pretty soon though
[03:45:51] <SirFinkus> neat
[03:45:40] <Bytram> at this rate, SN F@H will be ahead of Iowa State University by this time tomorrow, and prolly past Folding@MichiganTech, too.
[03:44:53] <Deucalion> The reaper goes in the same box as Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild... good in their own right but soo cliche
[03:44:19] <SirFinkus> mtv isn't hipster really
[03:43:55] <cmn32480> Sbabth doens't help that anymore.. .Ozzie was on MTV
[03:43:39] <SirFinkus> AND I posted a norm macdonald video of him wrecking them
[03:43:31] <SirFinkus> I like Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden, I shouldn't need to establish my anti-hipster cred
[03:42:35] <SirFinkus> I always thought it was mediocre anyway
[03:42:28] * Runaway1956 would offer to play cowbess, but it's time for work
[03:42:22] <SirFinkus> you never get sick of a song after hearing it to much?
[03:42:09] <Runaway1956> My two Opties run circles around her FX, of course.
[03:42:06] <takyon> hipster logic
[03:41:57] <takyon> overplayed makes a song bad?
[03:41:44] <Runaway1956> Yeah, AMD FX chip. Mine are Opterons.
[03:41:42] <SirFinkus> hex core? that doesn't sound very Christian Runaway1956
[03:41:23] <takyon> hex-core? must be amd
[03:41:09] <cmn32480> it jsut needs more cowbell
[03:41:02] <Runaway1956> F@H needs a good, solid computer. I put it on the wife's hex-core, and had to restrict it to two cores. Cheap heat sink, and I don't know what she used for heat paste. Surely not Silver stuff
[03:41:01] <SirFinkus> so overplayed

[03:39:08] <takyon> ok
[03:39:05] <Bytram> SirFinkus: it was the first chance I could take a vacation after the christmas rush...
[03:39:01] <SirFinkus> because we started at 0
[03:38:54] <SirFinkus> since we're a new team, we're climbing the ranks super fast
[03:38:43] <cmn32480> 7 day cahge
[03:38:23] <SirFinkus> look at the metric
[03:38:12] <takyon> how are we even #1
[03:38:10] <cmn32480> SirFinkus - this is more my stlye
[03:38:05] <takyon> hang on
[03:37:58] <Deucalion> I claim to be a metal person from that era, but am currently listening to old Pendulum stuff :/ Same vibe to me, just in a very different genre.

[03:35:55] <Deucalion> I seem to remember the heavier stuff of the era was Megadeth and then slightly later Slayer coming in with the thrash genre. Never got into the death metal / screamo stuff... at least with the likes of Slayer you have a fighting chance of working out what the are shouting about :D
[03:35:19] <SirFinkus> yeah, I suspect we've moved past the dead teams, now we're overtaking the smaller active ones

[03:33:27] <SirFinkus> I don't go super into that era of metal
[03:33:10] <Deucalion> Animal Magnetism also tres bon IMO... but of course this is all subjective.
[03:31:36] <Deucalion> It's from the Love At First Sting album. The Lovedrive album was also tres bon.
