| 14:21.38 | elg | it's been giving me "encoder mailbox not found" errors recently, much to my annoyance. did that a bit when I first got it, moving PCI slots seemed to fix it, worked for months |
| 14:21.45 | elg | but it's much more stubborn now |
| 14:21.57 | elg | i did get it on its very own IRQ, which I thought would solve it |
| 14:22.19 | elg | but now it's failing in a slightly different way (including locked up the computer once) and says "encoder firmware dead" |
| 14:22.31 | elg | so, I think it's gone. time to grab another one. not from ebay this time |

| 17:06.10 | sjansen | Watching Google's response to the App Engine downtime reminded me of the cruel 2008 US Vice Presidential debates, where everyone watching just wanted to pull Sarah Palin aside and say "Sweetie, this is a grown-up event. You need to use your big-girl words now." Google's explanation for six hours of downtime was basically, "Shit got ill." -- http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/07/06/dziuba_google_app_engine/ |

| 17:13.31 | sjansen | If it ain't clear at this point that Palin was a terrifically bad choice, I don't know what it would take. |
| 17:13.53 | JoshH | what did she do? i've been away from the internet for days |
| 17:14.02 | stderr | sjansen: well that's the whole point. I was actually pretty proud of (most) Americans for being like "OH COME ON NOW!". When the fundamentalists become parodies of themselves, that's the right direction. |
| 17:14.15 | stderr | JoshH: abruptly stepped down as governor. |
| 17:14.30 | goozbach | I think that an article on Google and it's failure to properly handle an outage isn't the place for a political low blow. |

| 17:17.04 | sjansen | I really hope the Republicans have the good sense to give quitter Palin the boot, instead of continuing to fawn over hear and act like she's some sort of pre-cursor to the messiah. |
| 17:17.57 | goozbach | sjansen: only thing I read on the register is BOFH |
| 17:18.28 | stderr | sjansen: we'll see in the 2012 primaries, I can't imagine they would nominate her unless they want to stay out of power permanently. But they can't seem to help themselves in pandering to their base (due to it's noisiness, one can only assume) |
| 17:18.46 | goozbach | they're much too invested in their bias to make reading any "news" worthwhile for me. |
| 17:18.48 | sjansen | There's a lot of speculation that she quit in a hopeless attempt to avoid a ticking ethics time bomb. |
| 17:19.15 | goozbach | but anyway on to Palin. |
| 17:19.37 | goozbach | quitting half way through a term is a big **QUITTER** checkmark from me |
| 17:19.42 | stderr | Palin may open up room for someone who looks sane when compared to her (Huckabee, maybe) |
| 17:19.47 | sjansen | If it turns out to be the truth, it wouldn't be great for Alaska, but it'd be in the best interest of the country. Sink her career before she can do any more damage. |
| 17:20.46 | sjansen | is feeling vindicated right now |
| 17:21.23 | sjansen | I really want to side with the Republicans, but from the beginning Palin struck me as a nut job. An extreme symptom of the parties larger problems. |

| 17:26.58 | elg | or allergy to the thought process |
| 17:27.44 | sjansen | Once upon a time pragmatic thinking was the hall mark of Republicanism. Limited government, limited spending, limited social change, and a kick-*** military. |
