novae has joined #arpnetworks mhoran: up_the_irons: I just donated. And convinced a bunch of folks in another channel they should donate, even though they don't use GNOME. Because, that's ridiculous. ***: bardo has joined #arpnetworks up_the_irons: mhoran: awesome thanks. yup, totally ridiculous and the only people that win are the attorneys. mhoran: I also told everyone at team standup about the issue and asked them to donate. I think they all did! mike-burns: https://twitter.com/coreyhaines/status/532183066479845376 BryceBot: TWITTER: Thought: @grouponeng should use some of its budget to help fight the trademark violations that @groupon is doing with GNOME.

GNOME v GroupOn, or the systemd thing? mercutio: gnome v groupon RandalSchwartz: sadly no... I'm hearing it from multiple sources
in fact, trying to get karen on from SFC (formerly head of GNOME) to talk about this tomorrow on FLOSS Weekly
here's the product of conflict: http://gnome.groupon.com mercutio: their product looks interesting RandalSchwartz: ... http://investor.groupon.com/releasedetail.cfm?releaseid=848707 mercutio: yeah thats' what i was on first RandalSchwartz: Here's teh conflict: https://gnome.org/groupon/
so yeah, it's real mercutio: howcome gnome.groupon.com isn't working RandalSchwartz: I know, maybe being ddosed. :) mercutio: heh brycec: (it loaded for me earlier today)
(fwiw)
Seeing some mixed messages right now... Gnome seems to have their back arched high, and Groupon released a statement saying "be cool, we've been working with them for awhile"
https://www.groupon.com/blog/cities/gnome-update now says they've abandoned Gnome
(as a patent)
(er, trademark) RandalSchwartz: whoa... UPDATE: After additional conversations with the open source community and the Gnome Foundation, we have decided to abandon our pending trademark applications for “Gnome.” We will choose a new name for our product going forward.
... https://www.groupon.com/blog/cities/gnome-update
that's why it's gone
nice. twobithacker: that's remarkably understanding of them RandalSchwartz: if not, GPL v4 would say "everyone EXCEPT GroupOn can use this" :) mercutio: hahaha RandalSchwartz: BSD... similar. :) mercutio: i can't believe they didn't notice RandalSchwartz: the first restriction of the BSD license is... GroupOn can't use this. :) mercutio: i tried gnome-shell the other week twobithacker: like ABRMS license? mercutio: linux deskop stuff isn't really amazing.

what is the significance of "Vertical" SSD ?
I was going to buy more 840 Pro's, but with the 850, I get Assassin's Creed Unity too!
anyone have any experience with the 850's? mercutio: it's about the MLC/tLC topography
ie they layer nand on top of other nand
i have no experience with 850 pro, but reviews suggest it's marginally faster than 840 pro which was already really pushing against sata 3 limitations.
so now they're even closer to sata 3 limitations up_the_irons: ah ok mercutio: last i knew 850 pros had quite a premium over 840 pros
but that may have just been to reduce stock
http://www.anandtech.com/show/8216/samsung-ssd-850-pro-128gb-256gb-1tb-review-enter-the-3d-era/9
looks like 128gb gets a mild boost
and the 256gb boost is easy to get lost in the noise
it's only really heavy workload it shows on
where normal hard-disks are a couple of orders of magnitude slower up_the_irons: mercutio: well, looks like the 840's are sold out on newegg, so i had to order the 850's mercutio: all good :)
it's not a bad thing
but 840 pros used to be like $50 cheaper or something up_the_irons: yeah mercutio: amazon keeps going up in price on samsung ssd's recently
i left some in my cart ***: RandalSchwartz has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)
KDE_Perry has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 244 seconds) mercutio: but they're listing 850 pro 128gb at $110 and 256gb at $185.85
and 840 pro 256gb at $158 ***: KDE_Perry has joined #arpnetworks up_the_irons: yeah mercutio: at ~$25'ish diff i'd get what was in stock prob up_the_irons: dang, sold out all our dedi's
good thing a new chassis is coming
i would have thought this time of year would be slow... but it's quite busy ***: RandalSchwartz has joined #arpnetworks
