Okay I bought it...

Good thing I got a new job that pays more money...

Nathan Osman

Did I ever show you my case?

RPi Awesomeness

@TheX Woo! Fun new tech! Did you need it?

@NathanOsman No, but I remember @Mateo's. Spider webs 4 dayz

TheX

@RPiAwesomeness depends on whether you are asking me, or my wife.

RPi Awesomeness

Yow! Note to self, do not lean on injured knee >.<

@TheX :D

Personally, I woulda saved the money and gone for a RAM upgrade unless your case was having issues.

But to each his own :)

Nathan Osman

RPi Awesomeness

3:12 AM

Whoa...

Nathan Osman

The front opens up:

TheX

I have maxed my ram...

Ah

and my cpu.

3:13 AM

I am not a fan of the opening ones...

the door always seems to be in the way.

Seth

now that is a tower.

Nathan Osman

It works.

That disc in the center glows red when the HD is used.

TheX

At first I though the memory card reader was a floppy disc drive lol

Nathan Osman

No, no floppy drive.

I'll see if I can get a shot inside.

RPi Awesomeness

lol, this was on reddit with the caption I lost track of time while filling my water bed:

Nathan Osman

3:14 AM

LOL.

TheX

@RPiAwesomeness lol...

jrg

Anyone have MSDN Operating systems? Worth it?

TheX

I beat if they new what they where doing they could have written something for the Rpi to prevent that from happening...

MSDN OS?

Seth

@RPiAwesomeness lol

I don't sleep well on water beds..

TheX

@jrg don't know how much is it?

RPi Awesomeness

3:16 AM

^ my tower

TheX

@jrg and I would say no, since Windows 10 is going to be the last MS OS ever released.

jrg

@TheX $700 for however long the subscription is...

Nathan Osman

I wondered about that myself.

jrg

year. i think.

Nathan Osman

It was going to be $650 / yr. up here for me.

Or something like that.

TheX

3:18 AM

Yeah it is a year or two...

Nathan Osman

I think I saw somewhere you get $150 of Azure credits though.

Seth

@RPiAwesomeness nice! Needs more USB ports though ;p

TheX

My case

current

RPi Awesomeness

That's just the front. Rear has 4x USB 2.0 + 2x USB 3.0

@TheX Specs?

Nathan Osman

As you can see, it needs some dust cleaned off the fan.

Seth

3:21 AM

This is even part of the reason why CDNs exist. Users aren't patient enough to wait for light to make it to the other side of the Earth and back. — kasperd 9 hours ago

thought provoking..

RPi Awesomeness

CDN being?

I still want to take a BitFenix Prodigy (Orange) and get the side-panel cut and filled with a custom acrylic Ubuntu logo.

Nathan Osman

It doesn't have any USB 3 ports but my router does :P

@RPiAwesomeness CDN = Content Delivery Network

Seth

^

RPi Awesomeness

Ah

Seth

I was going to say distributor network.. but I guess delivery is right too.

Nathan Osman

3:22 AM

It's a set of servers that provide static content that are located in multiple geographic locations to reduce latency.

tl;dr - it makes websites faster

TheX

@jrg I wouldn't do it..

Windows 10 will be free and the last OS ever...

jrg

@TheX OK. You think I should just buy legit licenses as I need 'em them?

Nathan Osman

@Seth whistles innocently...

jrg

I need legacy stuff - 7, XP, Vista, 8.

RPi Awesomeness

@NathanOsman :D

TheX

3:24 AM

@jrg unless you plan on doing a large roll out.

Nathan Osman

@jrg You don't need MSDN for those.

Microsoft provides VMs with IE installed at modern.ie

jrg

@NathanOsman Yeah, but I also need to put them on the metal.

I'm testing vulnerabilities.

Nathan Osman

@jrg Oh, forget it then :P

jrg

with hypervisors.

TheX

You would have to buy 7 licenses at 100 do make it break even.

jrg

3:24 AM

i use modern.ie VMs for my IE testing. :-)

Nathan Osman

@jrg I have a full retail copy of Windows 98 SE... anywho...

jrg

@NathanOsman Hah!

Nathan Osman

I don't use it for anything but old games.

Virtually nothing runs on it.

TheX

@RPiAwesomeness my hardware is pretty archaic and needs to be upgraded...

RPi Awesomeness

I figured as much with that GPU

Nathan Osman

3:26 AM

iTunes never ran on 98, the last supported Firefox version was 2.x, and any executable can write to C:\Windows\System - no file permissions.

TheX

I am almost embarrassed to tell you

jrg

@NathanOsman you really should virtualize that 98SE box.

Nathan Osman

We also have a 486 with 95 installed.

@jrg You're going to get a chuckle out of this, but 98 is so old that it isn't even properly supported on most virtualization platforms.

I was only able to ever get it working properly in VMware Player.

Wouldn't run in Hyper-V or VirtualBox.

Seth

@NathanOsman we were both right!

jrg

was gonna say, VMWare would be the way to go with that.

Nathan Osman

3:28 AM

* well, it does, but not properly

jrg

Or QEMU emulation.

Nathan Osman

@jrg And I really had to dig to get my hands on the VMware guest additions ISO for 98.

@jrg That would be slooooooow.

jrg

@NathanOsman are there even 98 license key verification servers still running? lol

Nathan Osman

That was before licensing servers.

TheX

@RPiAwesomeness

amd phenom 9750 quad-core processor
8gb ddr2 sdram
Asus M2A-VM
ATI Radeon HD 4800
120gb SSD with Ubuntu
1TB Data HDD
250GB HD Windows 10

Nathan Osman

3:29 AM

They just had a key on the disc itself.

TheX

tell me if I forgot anything.

RPi Awesomeness

@TheX Hoo. Yeah, does kinda a need an upgrade.

Nathan Osman

@TheX Pretty similar to what I have now, except I have a Radeon R9 270 X.

RPi Awesomeness

8GB isn't bad, but it's DDR2

Storage is really nice though :)

Nathan Osman

Let me dig up what I have.

TheX

3:31 AM

@RPiAwesomeness I think the only thing I pad for was the Case, and the hard drives... the CPU cooler, the blue 120 mm fans, and some of the MISC cables...

RPi Awesomeness

Hehe. Should I post mine?

@TheX Oh, well, in that case, nice!

TheX

@RPiAwesomeness everything else was given to me or I salvaged from other computers.

Here is a pic with the side on.

Nathan Osman

- AMD A8-5600K APU (quad-core 3.6 GHz)
- ASUS F2A55-M LE
- Corsair CX750M (750 watt bronze-certified)
- Radeon R9 270 X (2 GB)
- 8 GB (1333 MHz)
- Intel 320 series 160 GB SSD
- WD Green 2 TB (7200 RPM)

Lemme know if I forgot anything.

RPi Awesomeness

Nice!

Nathan Osman

The ASUS chipset has gigabit ethernet.

I also have an optical drive (DVD burner) but I rarely use it.

TheX

3:35 AM

Oh I have a CX650 waiting to go in..just haven't taken the time to put it in yet.

I think it is a CX650 (I can see the box but not the print from here)

Nathan Osman

The PSU is modular.

(At least mine is, hopefully yours is too.)

TheX

No Mine isn't unfortunately, i wish it where though

Nathan Osman

It didn't make that much difference for me since I've got so much plugged into it anyway.

The video card takes two really big cables on its own.

(I can never remember the names of the connectors.)

RPi Awesomeness

Yeah...AMD isn't terribly power efficient

Nathan Osman

Which is why I'm thankful for a good PSU :P

TheX

3:39 AM

Oh the PCI-E cable

Nathan Osman

The original PSU was 350 watt.

I don't think it would have handled all of this :P

RPi Awesomeness

PCI-E, yeah

Nathan Osman

@TheX did you ever consider liquid cooling?

TheX

@NathanOsman I have...but I haven't found anything I like for the price I want to pay for it.

Nathan Osman

Ah.

My GPU fan is crazy loud.

TheX

3:41 AM

Mine is too...I think that is going to be the next thing I am going to HAVE to replace

Nathan Osman

My BIOS supports running both the integrated GPU and the discrete GPU at the same time - which makes it really easy to do multi-seat on this machine.

TheX

@NathanOsman that would be awesome

Nathan Osman

@TheX Well, here you go: 2buntu.com/articles/1514/multiseat-in-ubuntu-1410

TheX

I tried to +1 that then realized I wasn't on Google+

Nathan Osman

Heh, we need to add a +1 button :)

RPi Awesomeness

3:46 AM

Well, I got to go to sleep. \o

Nathan Osman

o/

RPi Awesomeness

import sleep; sleep.activate(mode='deep')

TheX

@NathanOsman I think that is what the star is for

Nathan Osman

Oh, you mean here.

I thought you meant you tried to +1 the page on the article page.

Never mind.

xiaodongjie

Hi, everyone.

I created an application on ubuntu

Nathan Osman

3:50 AM

Oh?

xiaodongjie

It's seems to be a Memopad

Nathan Osman

Do you have a screenshot?

xiaodongjie

yes,

Wow, it's good?

The memo pad stays on top, because anchor is actived.

And it's same as Alarm clock.

@NathanOsman How do you think about it's name?

I don't have name of this software yet.

Nathan Osman

Looks pretty compact.

xiaodongjie

@NathanOsman What i'll set the name of this software? Memo or Sticky? or Alarm clock?

Nathan Osman

3:58 AM

What's wrong with Memopad?

TheX

'Post-It Notes' use to have a really cool app for Windows... I miss it.

xiaodongjie

Memopad?

@TheX Post-It Notes?

TheX

Post-it note

A Post-it note (or sticky note) is a small piece of paper with a re-adherable strip of glue on its back, made for temporarily attaching notes to documents and other surfaces. A unique low-tack pressure-sensitive adhesive allows the notes to be easily attached, removed, and even re-posted elsewhere without leaving residue. Originally small yellow squares, Post-it notes and related products are now available in a wide range of colors, shapes, and sizes. Though 3M's patent ran out in 1997, the term "Post-it" is not genericized. It and the original notes' distinctive yellow color remain registered...

xiaodongjie

@TheX Post-it note is only for Windows, right?

TheX

The application was....

but anyone can buy a post-it note regardless of your operating system

xiaodongjie

4:05 AM

yes, but

Post-it Notes is just a Memopad

my app is a memopad and also a alarm clock.

Though, I could not choose exact name for this software.

What's the name you recommend for my app?
