[01:46] so, I'm not usually afraid of refurb items, but the idea of a refurb CPU scares me- am I getting nervous over nothing? [01:48] I'd worry more over a refurb hard drive [01:48] how much are you saving? [01:52] it's not the saving- I need to buy a replacement AM2+ or AM2 socket AMD processor to replace a dead one, and I'm seeing a lot of refurbs for sale [02:06] ahh [02:07] is it reasonably priced? then go for it. [02:07] I wouldn't worry, processors don't really wear out [08:03] what chronomex said :) No moving parts, no physical wear. Basically unless your unlucky enough to get one with some obsecure bug/etc then you'll be fine [08:04] and you have the same chance of getting obscure bug direct from manufactorer anyway [08:08] thermal stress can wear them out, though [08:50] I'm trying to think how to say something [08:50] Yes, and that depends on the prior usage. [08:51] however I've only ever seen 1 dead cpu which appeared to have died from that [08:51] compared to hundreds/thousands of dead other parts [08:54] the other dead cpu's I've seen were black. [08:54] or had no pins (and no, weren't AM3 ;)) [09:16] uploaded: http://archive.org/details/old.slax.org-forums-20121211-mirror [09:58] http://www.wikigifs.org/ [09:58] \o/ [10:04] http://www.wikigifs.org/#CrocodileManGif.gif what [10:26] http://www.wikigifs.org/#Onigiri_cheerleader.gif [10:48] ha [11:20] BlueMax: thats Ace Rimmer [11:20] He proceeds to land the crocodile, head first onto a Nazi, grabs the girl and jumps in a jeep iirc. [11:20] They did the classic "I expect you to die Mr Rimmer" [11:21] Something to do with crocodiles on a plane, which was leaking fuel, with no parachute. [11:23] (Red Dwarf) [11:24] I had to get thrown off right then and there didn't I [11:34] BlueMaxim: where exactly? [11:35] ... [11:35] Something to do with crocodiles on a plane, which was leaking fuel, with no parachute. [11:35] * Disconnected (Connection reset by peer). [11:35] what [11:42] Oh [11:42] two sec [11:42] Ah [11:42] (Red Dwarf) [11:42] :D you should watch it [11:43] Feels good commiting code [11:43] feelsgoodman.jpg [11:56] uncultured swine... [11:56] "CrocodileManGif" is ACE RIMMER [11:57] (yes, I hadn't gotten to a few lines down from that, but whoever named it such on the site is the one I'm calling out) [12:00] the ace rimmer clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXYfnWRp1Q0 [12:01] Ace rimmer ftw [12:08] uploaded: http://archive.org/details/detroiturbex.com-20121212-mirror [12:08] it has 100s of pictures of detroit on that site [12:09] i seem to recall the dot character being discouraged in item identifiers [12:47] i just found the original cbs garfield christmast special [12:47] this is different then the one on dvd [16:46] jesus this is really worrying [16:46] http://42floors.com/blog/youre-not-anonymous-i-know-your-name-email-and-company/ [23:16] December 2012 (Incoming: 264809 MB / Outgoing: 22575 MB) [23:16] looking to double that! [23:16] Dude, I did twice that on 3G [23:17] (Yes, that is one of my proudest achievements) [23:20] good man [23:20] this is comcast, they ostensibly don't like you to go over 250G [23:20] they changed their rules [23:20] maybe I should tether my phone's wimax and use that too [23:20] they dropped that temporarily while they test metering [23:20] dunno what for though [23:21] once they're done testing, expect 300GB + extra fees for more [23:21] :} [23:21] :| [23:22] but I pay good money for this internet [23:22] they're talking $10/50gb in overages [23:23] that would double my bill [23:23] wtf [23:23] I paid about 30$ for unlimited cellular internet :P [23:23] you probably live somewhere that's not america [23:23] no, that's for /overages/ [23:23] under 300gb you'd be ok [23:24] it's the 12th of the month and I'm already at 264G [23:24] when does your bill roll over? [23:24] I can easily go 250 over at this rate [23:24] end of month I think [23:48] so http://tldr.io/whatisit really does sound great
