| Jun_19_2012_02:50:38 | shaqfu | kennethre: Is it super-rare? |
| Jun_19_2012_02:51:00 | kennethre | shaqfu: cost $40 bucks on ebay, so i hope not ;) |
| Jun_19_2012_02:51:14 | kennethre | although most of them were like $90 |
| Jun_19_2012_02:52:02 | shaqfu | Really? I didn't think Game Boys went for that much |
| Jun_19_2012_02:52:06 | shaqfu | Given how many are in the wild |
| Jun_19_2012_02:52:10 | kennethre | http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gameboy-pocket-Grey-Edition-Boxed-/160814598439?pt=Video_Games&hash=item25714c0927 |
| Jun_19_2012_02:52:16 | kennethre | well it's a special one :P |
| Jun_19_2012_02:52:39 | shaqfu | Ah, Japan-only |
| Jun_19_2012_02:52:51 | kennethre | i hope not |

| Jun_19_2012_02:53:02 | kennethre | i think it was just the one |
| Jun_19_2012_02:53:04 | kennethre | but maybe you're right :( |
| Jun_19_2012_02:54:30 | kennethre | wow i didn't notice it was being shipped from japan |
| Jun_19_2012_02:54:36 | kennethre | hope i don't have to pay import tax on that |
| Jun_19_2012_02:55:05 | kennethre | hope the games aren't region locked |
| Jun_19_2012_02:55:20 | shaqfu | I doubt it - cart-based games tend to be easy to get around |
| Jun_19_2012_02:55:32 | shaqfu | e.g. SNES tab clipping |
| Jun_19_2012_02:55:41 | kennethre | hah nice |
| Jun_19_2012_02:55:54 | shaqfu | Alternatively, use a Game Genie |
| Jun_19_2012_02:56:14 | kennethre | looks like it doesn't |
| Jun_19_2012_02:56:20 | kennethre | the first DS wasn't even |
| Jun_19_2012_02:56:32 | kennethre | i'm surprised |
| Jun_19_2012_02:56:42 | kennethre | i guess it's mostly a NTST/PAL thing |
| Jun_19_2012_02:56:45 | shaqfu | Yep |
| Jun_19_2012_02:56:52 | shaqfu | Region-locking is relatively new |
| Jun_19_2012_02:57:28 | shaqfu | I don't know of any pre-CD systems that did it |
| Jun_19_2012_02:57:30 | shaqfu | The Saturn did |
| Jun_19_2012_02:58:19 | kennethre | i'm thinking of using it with an lsdj |
| Jun_19_2012_02:58:27 | kennethre | and an arduinoboy |
| Jun_19_2012_02:58:30 | kennethre | do some chiptunes ;) |
| Jun_19_2012_02:59:15 | shaqfu | Any special reason why the Pocket? |
| Jun_19_2012_03:00:12 | kennethre | shaqfu: my first gameboy was the pocket :) |
| Jun_19_2012_03:00:18 | kennethre | so purely nostalgia |
| Jun_19_2012_03:00:51 | shaqfu | Gotcha. I wasn't sure if it had a special sound chip compared to standard |
| Jun_19_2012_03:01:03 | kennethre | nah, they're mostly the same |
| Jun_19_2012_03:01:22 | kennethre | though some people think the original one had better quality audio |
| Jun_19_2012_03:01:40 | kennethre | you have to mod it to get a better headphone jack though to notice the different |
| Jun_19_2012_03:01:46 | kennethre | people get really into this stuff, it's crazy ;) |
| Jun_19_2012_03:02:23 | shaqfu | Hey, gotta have the finest synth sound possible ;) |
| Jun_19_2012_03:33:25 | Coderjoe | my sister and I both had launch-era gameboys |
| Jun_19_2012_03:33:39 | Coderjoe | screen problems and all |
| Jun_19_2012_03:40:54 | shaqfu | Ouch; I'd hoped to grab all of Gutenberg's Kindle books, but didn't realize quite how many there were :( |
| Jun_19_2012_03:42:11 | shaqfu | So much for fitting it in 16GB |
| Jun_19_2012_03:44:54 | dashcloud | do you still have the launch-era gameboys? |
| Jun_19_2012_03:46:53 | dashcloud | 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/ |
| Jun_19_2012_04:31:44 | Coderjoe | i fear the day when myspace needs to be backed up |
| Jun_19_2012_04:32:04 | Coderjoe | which I suspect will be in the next few years |
| Jun_19_2012_04:32:21 | Coderjoe | ("myspace? who uses that anymore? everyone's on facebook now.") |
| Jun_19_2012_04:34:55 | Coderjoe | 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 |
| Jun_19_2012_04:37:32 | Coderjoe | 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 |
| Jun_19_2012_04:57:35 | DFJustin | game boy doesn't have region protection, other cartridge systems do though e.g. pc engine / turbografx-16 |
| Jun_19_2012_04:59:35 | DFJustin | oh wow I didn't know you could fix the lines |
| Jun_19_2012_04:59:51 | Coderjoe | and, iirc, the genesis did, but it was mostly just based on video format |
| Jun_19_2012_05:17:57 | shaqfu | I wouldn't call PAL/NTSC region locking |
| Jun_19_2012_05:19:25 | shaqfu | (It's still a huge pain in the ass - I almost imported Terranigma, but the cost of game+console+tv was too much) |
| Jun_19_2012_08:37:32 | Schbirid | is there any software that i can easily use to scan static html files for spam? |
| Jun_19_2012_08:38:25 | Schbirid | eg something like "grep -Rl spamdefinition file" that gives me a percentage or so |
| Jun_19_2012_08:40:41 | Schbirid | spamassassin maybe |
| Jun_19_2012_08:45:04 | Schbirid | damn it is slow |
| Jun_19_2012_08:48:56 | Schbirid | add these to your config and you can scan any files nicely |
| Jun_19_2012_08:48:57 | Schbirid | score MISSING_HEADERS 0 |
| Jun_19_2012_08:48:57 | Schbirid | score MISSING_SUBJECT 0 |
| Jun_19_2012_08:48:57 | Schbirid | score MISSING_FROM 0 |
| Jun_19_2012_08:48:57 | Schbirid | score MISSING_DATE 0 |
| Jun_19_2012_08:49:09 | Schbirid | takes several seconds per html file for me though... |
| Jun_19_2012_09:19:14 | Coderjoe | not surprising. it is a gigantic perl beast with many regexes |
| Jun_19_2012_09:19:26 | Coderjoe | and possibly other stuff like dns resolution for dnsbl stuff |
| Jun_19_2012_09:34:26 | Schbirid | any good alternatives? |
| Jun_19_2012_09:34:44 | Schbirid | i would like to scan all the forumplanet threads and remove the spam ones (from my mirror, not the archies) |
| Jun_19_2012_09:50:14 | Coderjoe | not offhand |
| Jun_19_2012_15:30:52 | underscor | Coderjoe: They're stock supermicro cases\ |
| Jun_19_2012_15:31:00 | underscor | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811152543 to be specific |
| Jun_19_2012_15:31:31 | underscor | Then they're filled with (well, now they're from raped goflex units, because they're not rationed) 3TB Seagate drives |
| Jun_19_2012_15:32:26 | underscor | Most have 96GB of RAM, but not necessarily |
| Jun_19_2012_15:32:35 | underscor | It can vary from 16GB to 256GB |
| Jun_19_2012_15:33:10 | underscor | Most are dual octocore xeons (I don't know the model number off the top of my head) |
| Jun_19_2012_15:33:13 | underscor | but again, that varies |
| Jun_19_2012_15:33:35 | underscor | There are a few quad octocore, and a few octo, quad, and dual |
| Jun_19_2012_15:34:08 | underscor | Each rack has 10gbps internal and 10gbps external fabric |
| Jun_19_2012_15:34:16 | underscor | spread across the 8 machines |
| Jun_19_2012_15:34:20 | underscor | (all fiber) |
| Jun_19_2012_15:34:34 | underscor | uhh, I think that's everything |
| Jun_19_2012_21:16:48 | Coderjoe | so they use them as both storage and VM hosts, effectively rolling the old "storage node" and "power node" into one. |
| Jun_19_2012_21:17:38 | Coderjoe | thanks. I thought the hotswap bays looked a bit like supermicro |
| Jun_19_2012_21:19:48 | Coderjoe | huh |
| Jun_19_2012_21:20:12 | Coderjoe | that's an interesting, but probably somewhat inconvenient, design. |
| Jun_19_2012_21:20:48 | Coderjoe | make the mobo area only 2U and stuff another 12 hotswap bays in the back |
| Jun_19_2012_21:25:42 | underscor | most of our racks are easily accessible from front and back though |
| Jun_19_2012_21:25:44 | underscor | so it's not too bad |
| Jun_19_2012_22:59:49 | dashcloud | 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 |
