[02:50] kennethre: Is it super-rare? [02:51] shaqfu: cost $40 bucks on ebay, so i hope not ;) [02:51] although most of them were like $90 [02:52] Really? I didn't think Game Boys went for that much [02:52] Given how many are in the wild [02:52] http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gameboy-pocket-Grey-Edition-Boxed-/160814598439?pt=Video_Games&hash=item25714c0927 [02:52] well it's a special one :P [02:52] Ah, Japan-only [02:52] http://www.ebay.com/itm/NINTENDO-GAME-BOY-POCKET-GRAY-CONSOLE-SYSTEM-MGB-001-DOUBLE-DRAGON-/140756408133?pt=Video_Games&hash=item20c5bc5745#ht_3418wt_1064 [02:52] i hope not [02:53] i think it was just the one [02:53] but maybe you're right :( [02:54] wow i didn't notice it was being shipped from japan [02:54] hope i don't have to pay import tax on that [02:55] hope the games aren't region locked [02:55] I doubt it - cart-based games tend to be easy to get around [02:55] e.g. SNES tab clipping [02:55] hah nice [02:55] Alternatively, use a Game Genie [02:56] looks like it doesn't [02:56] the first DS wasn't even [02:56] i'm surprised [02:56] i guess it's mostly a NTST/PAL thing [02:56] Yep [02:56] Region-locking is relatively new [02:57] I don't know of any pre-CD systems that did it [02:57] The Saturn did [02:58] i'm thinking of using it with an lsdj [02:58] and an arduinoboy [02:58] do some chiptunes ;) [02:59] Any special reason why the Pocket? [03:00] shaqfu: my first gameboy was the pocket :) [03:00] so purely nostalgia [03:00] Gotcha. I wasn't sure if it had a special sound chip compared to standard [03:01] nah, they're mostly the same [03:01] though some people think the original one had better quality audio [03:01] you have to mod it to get a better headphone jack though to notice the different [03:01] people get really into this stuff, it's crazy ;) [03:02] Hey, gotta have the finest synth sound possible ;) [03:33] my sister and I both had launch-era gameboys [03:33] screen problems and all [03:40] Ouch; I'd hoped to grab all of Gutenberg's Kindle books, but didn't realize quite how many there were :( [03:42] So much for fitting it in 16GB [03:44] do you still have the launch-era gameboys? [03:46] for anyone with the original Gameboy, here's a fascinating hack to add a backlight and fix the lines-on-the-screen problem: http://hackaday.com/2012/06/11/adding-a-backlight-to-the-ol-game-boy-brick/ [04:31] i fear the day when myspace needs to be backed up [04:32] which I suspect will be in the next few years [04:32] ("myspace? who uses that anymore? everyone's on facebook now.") [04:34] underscor: you know what I would like to see? some information on the new petabox nodes, such as possibly who makes the case or whatever [04:37] since http://archive.org/web/petabox.php seems to be dead, and the only info brewster's shared there are general stats and a few pictures [04:57] game boy doesn't have region protection, other cartridge systems do though e.g. pc engine / turbografx-16 [04:59] oh wow I didn't know you could fix the lines [04:59] and, iirc, the genesis did, but it was mostly just based on video format [05:17] I wouldn't call PAL/NTSC region locking [05:19] (It's still a huge pain in the ass - I almost imported Terranigma, but the cost of game+console+tv was too much) [08:37] is there any software that i can easily use to scan static html files for spam? [08:38] eg something like "grep -Rl spamdefinition file" that gives me a percentage or so [08:40] spamassassin maybe [08:45] damn it is slow [08:48] add these to your config and you can scan any files nicely [08:48] score MISSING_DATE 0 [08:48] score MISSING_FROM 0 [08:48] score MISSING_HEADERS 0 [08:48] score MISSING_SUBJECT 0 [08:49] takes several seconds per html file for me though... [09:19] not surprising. it is a gigantic perl beast with many regexes [09:19] and possibly other stuff like dns resolution for dnsbl stuff [09:34] any good alternatives? [09:34] i would like to scan all the forumplanet threads and remove the spam ones (from my mirror, not the archies) [09:50] not offhand [15:30] Coderjoe: They're stock supermicro cases\ [15:31] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811152543 to be specific [15:31] Then they're filled with (well, now they're from raped goflex units, because they're not rationed) 3TB Seagate drives [15:32] Most have 96GB of RAM, but not necessarily [15:32] It can vary from 16GB to 256GB [15:33] Most are dual octocore xeons (I don't know the model number off the top of my head) [15:33] but again, that varies [15:33] There are a few quad octocore, and a few octo, quad, and dual [15:34] Each rack has 10gbps internal and 10gbps external fabric [15:34] spread across the 8 machines [15:34] (all fiber) [15:34] uhh, I think that's everything [21:16] so they use them as both storage and VM hosts, effectively rolling the old "storage node" and "power node" into one. [21:17] thanks. I thought the hotswap bays looked a bit like supermicro [21:19] huh [21:20] that's an interesting, but probably somewhat inconvenient, design. [21:20] make the mobo area only 2U and stuff another 12 hotswap bays in the back [21:25] most of our racks are easily accessible from front and back though [21:25] so it's not too bad [22:59] holy shit- listening to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MShbP3OpASA , apparently Linus actually wrote machine code for several years because he didn't know any better
