00:00 rue_house because resend almost never works
00:00 katsmeow-afk oh
00:02 katsmeow-afk "Play Services is a direct line from Google to the core of your phone, and, really, no one outside of Google is quite sure of just how powerful it can get." i am
00:03 katsmeow-afk it makes your phone a remote smart terminal to Google, they can use your phone as much as you can use google
00:03 rue_house hmm, google leveraging cell phone processors in the masses
00:04 katsmeow-afk yep, and throw wifi connections into the mix too
00:05 rue_house eek, some things with non-free shipping got into my mix, damn ebay changing your search paramiters for you
00:05 katsmeow-afk and with those near-field connections now, they can tell who you are standing next to, if they have an android too
00:05 katsmeow-afk yeas, now i have been bit by that one, i won a adapter with $7 shipping on it :-/
00:07 katsmeow-afk basically, the cell phone maker suppiles a bios, Android supplies an OS, and then installs itself as root superuser, and the phone owner is configured as the luser
00:16 rue_house last purchase of the day, new SSD for the computer
00:16 rue_house a) mine is ill, I have no redundancy on it
00:16 katsmeow-afk are they lasting any longer now?
00:16 rue_house b) I heard yeterday the flash chip factory burned down, so flash it gonna skyroket in price
00:17 rue_house as I udnerstand mine has a firmware bug to do with its layering
00:18 tsmeow-afk
00:20 rue_house it also seem sthat acrobat reader and firefox have caches or soemthing on dirs of the ssd, I have to find them and move them over at somepoint
00:21 katsmeow-afk yeas, which is why i can't figure using an ssd with nix, surely all that disk-swapping will wear them out overnight
00:21 rue_house I put the swap space on the magnetic
00:21 rue_house total used free shared buffers cached

00:21 rue_house Swap: 0 0 0
00:21 katsmeow-afk FF saves everything, so they can do a full restore on themselves, no matter how wanked the Os is
00:21 rue_house but with 8G f ram, I never use swap
00:22 e_house squ
00:22 rue_house odd, one of those numbers shouldn't be 0
00:22 rue_house total and free

00:26 tsmeow-afk looks clueless and strangely sl
00:27 rue_house my swap space wasn't turned on
00:27 katsmeow-afk i had a thought today,, wanna hear it?
00:27 rue_house I have 20G of it on one of the magnetics
00:27 rue_house do tell
00:27 katsmeow-afk you know what a Tek scope plugin, or TM mainframe lookes like, yeas?
00:28 rue_house roughly
00:28 katsmeow-afk empty one i making/made : http://designerthinking.com/images/tekplugins/DSCF3249m.jpg
00:29 rue_house nice
00:29 katsmeow-afk it's an empty box with user interface in front, edge connector in back, ~2.5" x 10" x 5"
00:29 katsmeow-afk so what i am thinking abot it:
00:30 katsmeow-afk what if i put in a center board running lengthwise, so that i can plug in modules like you plug in mobo main menory,,,
00:30 katsmeow-afk i can plug in such modules (ram or not0rams) in from both sides
00:31 katsmeow-afk what if i plugged in ram on one side and cpu modules on the other side, so the centrbd became a backplane
00:31 katsmeow-afk if the cpu modules were as small as mobo ram modules, i cold put 32 of them into the plugin easily
00:31 rue_house ok
00:32 rue_house sounds like a standard backplane...
00:32 rue_house ?
00:32 katsmeow-afk and 32 slots of mobo ram
00:32 katsmeow-afk yeas, in a size of a Tek plugin
00:32 rue_house http://www.arcobel.com/images/Arcobel/News/HSB-800p.gif
00:32 rue_house ?
00:33 rue_house sorry thats not a video card, its an everything card
00:33 rue_house it dosn't have context
00:33 rue_house you use a parallel wired pci backplane and plug cards in beside it
00:33 katsmeow-afk 32 cpu boards, 32 old 512Meg modules, totalling 1.6Ghz of cpu and 16 gigabytes of ram
00:34 rue_house the backplane provides power
00:34 katsmeow-afk http://www.arcobel.com/images/Arcobel/News/HSB-800p.gif is tons bigger than i was thinking
00:34 rue_house is bandwidth a problem?
00:34 katsmeow-afk i was thinking of that mcs80 carrier board you showed me last nite
00:35 rue_house http://www.ryaim.com/products/backplane/pci80p.jpg
00:35 rue_house ah
00:35 katsmeow-afk bandwidth to hdd can be solved by the empty space left at the ends of the plugin
00:35 rue_house I have cards to...
00:36 rue_house is it a pdp?
00:36 katsmeow-afk so each cpu card uses it's own ram module directly, because it's directly on the other side of the backplane, but also has access to all the other rams ,, and all the other cpus
00:36 rue_house http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/PDP-11-M7270.jpg/220px-PDP-11-M7270.jpg
00:36 rue_house k
00:37 rue_house I dont know much about the pdp11
00:37 katsmeow-afk nono, the cpu card is size of a ~ large mobo ram card, 5" long, 1.75 tall
00:38 rue_house k
00:38 katsmeow-afk iirc, with a multilayer backplane, and some glue logic, 64 modules, half ram and half cpu, in one small box
00:39 katsmeow-afk you cold put in cpu modules with those big risc chips,,,,,,,,,, i forget the name atm, i are sleepy
00:39 rue_house I wonder if my pdp11 cards shouldn't be in the parts bins
00:40 katsmeow-afk at 500Mhz even, 32 of them would be a huge amount of processing power
00:40 rue_house indeed
00:41 katsmeow-afk ARM chips
00:42 katsmeow-afk this is the size i was thinking : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:LPCXpresso_DevelopmentBoard_with_NXP_LPC1343_%28ARM_Cortex-M3%29_MCU.jpg
00:42 rue_bed I should keep chipping away on my optic processor, I have new lasers I can play with too
00:42 katsmeow-afk NXP LPC1343 is an ARM Cortex-M3 Microcontroller
00:44 tsmeow-afk signs offto goto
