That looks like overclocked memory :-(

how does it look overclocked? because there's a heat spreader?

it's just very fast ram (4-4-4-12) that happens to come with a heat spreader.

Well, often memory with a heat spreader is overclocked ... Judging from the box of your Intel mainboard you have a desktop (D*) serie which doesn't usually support fancy ECC/buffered RAM, so that's out.

But your video isn't exactly high quality in focus so it's difficult so see ;)

yeah, it's a desktop board, and it's simply fast non-oc'd ram.

I don't think UiO likes what I've been doing. When trying to log in today, I got a message saying my account had been temporarily disabled. :\

i like large datasets
used svn at the beginning because i didnt know shit about version control and thats what all the cool kids where using. but it wasnt easy to setup one off projects on the fly. it felt like an ordeal to setup new projects and i thought thats just how it was. i was just doing projects on my own. no access for anyone else.

then randomly found darcs one day. it was distributed and i could just start repos on the fly in their current directory and commit right back into them. no server to connect to, 'darcs init' was all it took. this was a huge step in me actually using a repository more often.

then over time development slowed down and if i remember it still had some glaring problems. after some searching i decided on mercurial. i was (and am) doing mostly python development so it made since. used it for a few years (up until earlier this year) and like it.

i always avoided git because i dont like the gpl nor software that come from linus and crew. over time i found myself getting stuff from github alot though (mostly django packages). then had an extra credit a peepcode and just got bored and bought the git screencast. saw some cool shit you could do and thought "well i need to check that out some time".

then the final kicker was me starting to use emacs (another post in itself). emacs has a mode called 'magit' and i tested it a few times and was sold. it is amazing and i utilize version control so much now because of it. i just moved everything to git and couldn't be happier at the moment.

also branching in git is really nice.

lesser of two evils. no real choices till opencvs is out.

Why lesser? Because Linus didn't write it? :P

And cvs... ugh. I don't see why anyone would want to go back to that. If it's just a matter of licensing, svn is BSD...

I'm using git for everything these days.

i wont use opencvs personally other than maybe just playing with it. i already used svn. also, i avoided git for those reasons. i use it now and am completely happy with it.

there isnt any software to come from the openbsd guys that i dont like. but opencvs may be the first. there was a mailing list discussion on openbsd-misc about git vs cvs and basically the pro cvs guy was saying that cvs can do anything git can do if you know what you are doing.

it may beable to but it looked like a shit load more work to get it done.
