So today HTC RE article, Tomorrow Microsoft lifeband review and then I'm thinking about doing a rather long article about this person: http://images.ok.co.uk/1431280642_alex-jones-getty.jpg

I'm still doing research but appearently 2 years ago she went on a TV show with Piers Morgan and started screaming about "mass murder pills", starting a revolution against the crown if Piers tried to take her guns and all that. I know nothing about her but it seems very uncharacteristic of her especially for a british person. She seems like quite a lovely person,
NotNozireV
9:34:30
Anyway, the research continues.
NotNozireV
9:40:24
*cough* *tap* *tap* *tap* ...is this thing on?
NotNozireV
9:48:32
Now I know what its like to be Carrot Top doing a show in Damascus or Jimmy Fallon doing standup ...anywhere
NotNozireV

Gotham was pretty good. Crazy Ex was awkward and awesome at the same time.

10:09:46
I don't know if you've watched the Talking Dead yet (it was kind of a yawner) but they hinted at "the character" being back on the show, not sure if that means they're going to do a shitty flashback ep next week or what but its interesting.
GBRedneck
10:10:15

GBRedneck

GBRedneck
10:14:46

GBRedneck
10:15:36
we've not watched it for years and fancied something with british voices in it
GBRedneck
10:15:48

GBRedneck

greatness in a movie
NotNozireV
10:21:26
I really enjoyed the movies that came out during 1999/2000 era.
GBRedneck
10:24:38
the london gangster stuff was amusing
GBRedneck
10:26:03

NotNozireV
10:26:07
Vinnie Jones pretty much disappeared after he got into a bar fight in some state most people have never heard of. I think it was North Dakota.
GBRedneck
10:26:10

NotNozireV
10:26:15

I don't even want to know what Myth was being busted here http://www.tested.com/art/550660-inside-adam-savages-cave-new-original-props/
GBRedneck
10:43:42
just looking on ebay for some ram for one of my servers, its almost cheaper to buy a whole server all over again!
NotNozireV
10:44:16
THe shipping fees must be horrible
NotNozireV
10:44:39
Are most suppliers US based?
GBRedneck
10:44:52
nah there's plenty of stock in the US
GBRedneck
10:45:13
but a lot of the cheaper memory is in the US, trouble is i then have to pay import taxes making it more expensive.
NotNozireV
10:46:07
Right, that's what I was getting at
GBRedneck
10:49:13
lol
GBRedneck
10:50:05
aah just found some at the right price
GBRedneck
10:50:12
32gb ECC for £120
NotNozireV
10:50:49
Is that just 1 stick?
GBRedneck
10:50:58
4 x 8gb ECC Reg
NotNozireV
10:51:05
ah
GBRedneck
10:52:18
need it for a Dell Poweredge T310
GBRedneck
10:52:31
which is my current vcenter host
GBRedneck
10:52:43
bloody vcenter takes 8gb of RAM
NotNozireV
10:53:36
Yikes that's a lot of resources
NotNozireV
10:53:43
Is it Windows or Linux based?
GBRedneck
10:53:50
vmware ESXi
GBRedneck
10:54:09
i have the essentials kit which give a licence for 1 x Vcenter
GBRedneck
10:54:19
and 6 cpu (3 x dual CPU machines)
GBRedneck
10:54:35
thats the stuff
NotNozireV
10:54:49
Beautiful isnt it?
GBRedneck
10:56:03
indeed though a little pricey
GBRedneck
10:57:41
check your gmail in a second
NotNozireV
10:57:49
k
GBRedneck
10:57:53
i just had a machine delivered to me, asking if i could recover data on the hard disk
NotNozireV
10:59:01
I was about to ask "what the hell?"
NotNozireV
10:59:02
lol
NotNozireV
10:59:53
Looks like it was just dropped, right?
GBRedneck
11:00:18
fell out of a van about half a dozen cars drove over it
NotNozireV
11:00:26
oh nice
NotNozireV
11:00:43
atleast it wasnt submerged and the HD looks intact
NotNozireV
11:02:17
Looks like a fun project
GBRedneck
11:03:05
HD is bolloxed
GBRedneck
11:03:11
makes some awesome clicking noises
NotNozireV
11:03:25
yikes!
GBRedneck
11:03:36
was gonna record for you
NotNozireV
11:04:33
the Actuator was probably damaged
NotNozireV
11:05:02
The platter itself could be fine though
NotNozireV
11:05:48
...If the head didnt smash into the platter and scratched the hell out of it
GBRedneck
11:10:26
oh its totalled
NotNozireV
11:10:41
Damn, even the platter?
NotNozireV
11:11:31
Such a shame. RIP Laptop 53579257, you will be missed.
GBRedneck
11:11:36
ROFL
NotNozireV
11:12:49
I still prefer HDDs over SSDs for important data because there are multiple methods of recovering data even if the device gets submerged.
NotNozireV
11:12:51
If an SSD gets fried, you are OOL.
GBRedneck
11:13:04
i dont store any data on SSD's solely
NotNozireV
11:14:00
Good thinking
NotNozireV
11:15:04
Always keep your data backed up on Carbonite and don't forget to get a Chromebook!
GBRedneck
11:15:46
couldnt agree more
NotNozireV
11:17:02
oh crap, its almost lunchtime in the UK, I've gotta grab something to eat.
NotNozireV
11:17:05
Take care GBR, talk to you in a bit.
GBRedneck
11:17:31

NotNozireV
11:18:24

NotNozireV
21:56:50
All I can do is spin wildly and shoot at random things
GBRedneck

So I'm not alone on this lol
GBRedneck
21:58:36
yup
GBRedneck
21:58:42

NotNozireV
22:00:37
