| MutantTurkey | visa is under a ddos | 00:59 |
| andrew | Did I read that post that many times (re planet ubuntu)? | 14:24 |
| Pici | Which one? | 14:25 |
| PennBot | hmm... Which one is it, Pici | 14:25 |
| andrew | Pici: the one that is there 10 times | 14:26 |
| andrew | EVENTS ARE LIKE SIGNALS | 14:27 |
| Pici | Yeah, I saw it a few times on there earlier today. | 14:27 |
| InHisName | anyone know of source for mp3 player selling for < $7 shipped ? Tired of googling the $30 ones. | 15:19 |
| ChinnoDog | I have an extra day of vacation! | 17:51 |
| * ChinnoDog just "discovered" it | 17:51 | |
| andrew | let me guess, use it or lose it? | 17:52 |
| ChinnoDog | Thats right! | 18:07 |
| ChinnoDog | It is a floating holiday I took as paid time off because I was out of the country | 18:08 |
| ChinnoDog | Meaning, I still have a floating holiday! | 18:08 |
| InHisName | So will you have a 'holiday' tomorrow, ChinnoDog ? | 19:02 |
| ChinnoDog | Not tomorrow. haha | 19:03 |
| ChinnoDog | But, sometime in December! | 19:03 |
| ChinnoDog | Although, I wouldn't mind taking tomorrow. lol | 19:04 |
| rhpot1991 | InHisName: < $7, seriously? | 19:32 |
| rhpot1991 | buy a good one and use it forever | 19:32 |
| InHisName | Nope, its a gift for a child who smashes things a lot. Cheap is way better. Might last a week or two plus any bonus time. | 19:33 |
| ChinnoDog | Get one made of steel? | 19:33 |
| andrew | So, reward the child who breaks things with a new one each time the child breaks it. | 19:33 |
| InHisName | Nope, I have a Sansa e260. Too sensitive for the destructo person. | 19:34 |
| rhpot1991 | I'm with andrew | 19:34 |
| rhpot1991 | or find some kiddie one that might take a smashing | 19:34 |
| rhpot1991 | or wrap it in something | 19:34 |
| InHisName | The reward is "all done", "bye-bye" | 19:34 |
| ChinnoDog | InHisName: This guy seems to think the Sansa Fuze is indestructable. http://www0.epinions.com/review/SanDisk_Sansa_Fuze_4_GB_MP3_Player/content_531218468484 | 19:42 |
| PennBot | Title: Indestructible little music player. - SanDisk Fuze (4 GB) Digital Media Player - Epinions.com (at www0.epinions.com) | 19:42 |
| InHisName | Not that indestrucatble, it has a screen. One 6lb textbook landing on the screen make a big star cracks in center. | 19:43 |
| andrew | http://gizmodo.com/160502/monolith-semi+indestructible-mp3-player-gets-a-sizeable-upgrade | 19:44 |
| PennBot | Title: Monolith Semi-Indestructible MP3 Player Gets a Sizeable Upgrade (at gizmodo.com) | 19:44 |
| InHisName | $200 ??? far cry from < $7 | 19:44 |
| andrew | yes, but it claims to be indestructible | 19:45 |
| ChinnoDog | A little screen is actually not very easy to break | 19:45 |
| ChinnoDog | A big screen is considerably easier | 19:45 |
| andrew | 200 / 7 = It will pay for itself in less than 30 weeks | 19:45 |
| InHisName | Rather give a $5 gift and then say "oh well" try take better care on next gift when ever that my happen. | 19:46 |
| andrew | How old is this subject? | 19:46 |
| InHisName | Prefer the mp3 to be new if it has a LI-ON battery. | 19:47 |
| ChinnoDog | Yes, how old? | 19:48 |
| InHisName | new | 19:48 |
| InHisName | zero | 19:48 |
| ChinnoDog | No, the child. How old is the child? | 19:48 |
| ChinnoDog | The child is not new. Newborns don't need mp3 players.. yet. | 19:48 |
| InHisName | 8 | 19:48 |
| InHisName | and 6 | 19:48 |
| ChinnoDog | That seems plenty old enough to handle a small mp3 player. You could reward good care with periodic infusions of music. | 19:49 |
| InHisName | As long as it lasts. | 19:49 |
| InHisName | When done, no replacements. | 19:49 |
| ChinnoDog | The longer it lasts the higher the stakes if it is damaged | 19:49 |
| InHisName | Steaks ? T-bone ? | 19:50 |
| ChinnoDog | :-p | 19:50 |
| InHisName | So damaged electronics bump up stakes ? | 19:50 |
| andrew | Tent stakes | 19:51 |
| andrew | keeps them from blowing away | 19:51 |
| ChinnoDog | electronics with growing music collections become more valuable as time goes on because you don't want to lose music. | 19:51 |
| andrew | backups++ | 19:52 |
| ChinnoDog | shhh. The kid is 8! | 19:52 |
| InHisName | More cell phones available for staking tents, than mp3 players. | 19:52 |
| ChinnoDog | Will 8 year old make a backup, even if they know how? | 19:52 |
| andrew | ChinnoDog: Might as well teach them life lessons early on | 19:53 |
| ChinnoDog | If said 8 year old makes backups I don't think you need to worry about them taking good care of the player. | 19:53 |
| InHisName | Never mind, I found one. A little higher for $9.15 shipped. Disney mix stick 1gb. NO screen. New. | 19:53 |
| andrew | valid point | 19:53 |
| andrew | InHisName: warranty? | 19:54 |
| InHisName | Probably one year. | 19:54 |
| InHisName | But customer abuse is usually not included. | 19:54 |
| InHisName | I consider if both the player AND the headphones lasting over 60 days, then BIG success. For less than $10 not too expen$ive of an experiment. | 19:56 |
| JonathanD | that reminds me | 20:08 |
| JonathanD | I'm upgrading Josh to a slightly less crap laptop. | 20:08 |
| JonathanD | I think it's a lattitude 7500 | 20:08 |
| JonathanD | Since he hasn't broken the compaq yet. | 20:09 |
| JonathanD | InHisName: fun how we expect them to break things, eh? ;) | 20:09 |

| PennBot | Title: YouTube - HARRY POTTER Like a g6 PARODY (Like It's Quidditch) (at www.youtube.com) | 20:10 |
| InHisName | Actually I expect them to learn to acquire skills at keeping electronic devices from being destroyed. Lowest cost that works is best sacrificial practice items. | 20:10 |
| JonathanD | thats why I gave him the compaq | 20:11 |
| JonathanD | well, that and it's heavy enough it's more likley to break things than be broken. | 20:11 |
| JonathanD | oh | 20:12 |
| JonathanD | inspiron, not lattitude. | 20:12 |
| JonathanD | it's about 12x faster though ;) | 20:12 |
| JonathanD | and can run linux! | 20:13 |
