[14:37] still have my totally working Galaxy S Captivate... but the SIM card doesn't work [14:37] S4? [14:38] The girlfriend has an S4. I'm envious. [14:38] yeah... but after how poorly the S3 held up [14:38] I mean did Gorilla Glass take a giant drop in quality? [14:38] I was actually testing out my original galaxy, hitting it on concrete and stuff [14:38] and nothing happened [14:38] so... [14:39] this s3 is a POS! [14:44] My S3 seems sturdy to me. [14:45] MutantTurkey: stop breaking your phone [14:47] compared to my SI it is not [14:47] i mean the back is plastic... [14:47] the phone actually bends when you but torsion on it [14:50] It survives being in my pocket and has survived a couple concrete drops before I put a massive battery on it. It has barely a scratch. [14:51] MutantTurkey: Wait, you were *intentionally* hitting your phone on concrete just to see what happened? [14:51] MutantTurkey wants a phone made of adamantium. [14:54] Could Wolverine break a phone made of adamantium? [14:54] Uncertain. Have you seen the latest Wolverine movie? [15:00] No. [15:09] yes [15:09] my old phone [15:09] and nothing happened [15:10] no, i just want a phone that is decently strong, made out of not plastic, but something sturdy [15:10] aluminum maybe [15:10] with built in shocks inside of it, a screen that is not so thin it breaks (because gorilla glass should be able to stop it) [15:12] MutantTurkey: i am liking the note [15:12] is it to large for you? [15:12] no [15:13] don't have - am liking/thinking/waiting for note3 at this point [15:13] son-in-law has note3 and loves it [15:13] note2 [15:14] hmmm [15:14] ok [15:14] bigger is better if you want to /use/ it [15:14] of just get a flip phone [15:14] or [15:19] right [15:35] I still think think the Note is an absurdly big clown phone. [15:36] fits me [15:36] it's really not that big [15:37] my 10 inch tab is a clown phone [15:37] but i wear the shoes to match, so it works [15:48] I was watching a podcast the other day where someone was wishing he could use the Nexus 7 as his phone. [15:49] that was me [15:50] been saying that for a little bit now [15:50] No, it was Leo Laporte on TWiT [16:45] * waltman admits to confusing the Galaxy S$n's with Nexus $n's. [17:19] MutantTurkey ChinnoDog: just saw the mention of the geeknic. that IS a far drive for ChinnoDog and myself, and there was only a couple days notice :/ [17:20] i need to login here more often [17:20] adom: yeah, it was short notice :P [17:20] adom: it amounted to KyleYankan saying "hey wanna have a picnic" [17:20] and me saying "sure, lets call it a geeknic and invite everyone" [17:20] haha i see [17:20] fair enough [17:20] it rained [17:20] a lot [17:20] we'll do it again after fosscon. [17:20] :( [17:20] adom: coming to fosscon? [17:21] when is it? [17:21] Aug 10 [17:21] (quite soon) [17:24] Hah, sorry adom. It was like a 36 hour notice for most people. If that. [17:26] is the fosscon up in PA? [17:27] adom: Philadelphia [17:27] KyleYankan: no worries, like ChinnoDog, i probably couldnt have made the drive anyway [17:27] nothing is more beautiful than this: [17:27] Records: 6784715 Deleted: 0 Skipped: 0 Warnings: 0 [17:27] wow lucky [17:29] JonathanD: its enticing. at first i was worried about the drive but i see its about 3hrs from me. [17:29] im still not going to say its likely, but im going to say its possible [17:30] if ChinnoDog happens to go, maybe ill be more likely to go. we really should meet finally, since we now live like, 40 minutes apart from each other. >.< [18:14] tfmaybe I should get an iPhone [18:14] i have been resisting so hard [18:16] guys, remind me what irc command sends in-channel private messages? am i stupid? [18:17] /msg nickname hi [18:17] I assume that's what you mean [18:18] "in-channel" and "private messages" are two different things, but you seem to know how to send messages in channel :) [18:18] for a second i thought there was a command that shows a private message only in the channel you choose, rather than a PM. [18:18] alas, twas a theme setting of mine playing tricks on my eyes. [18:18] * adom blushes. [18:18] where private messages show up depends on your client [18:18] (some people choose to have them show up inline in a channel) [18:19] it was just that someone was mentioning me, so the hilight settings for my theme made that line look different in the channel and i thought [for some reason] that only i could see it [18:19] ah [18:19] * adom is dum. [18:21] man, if you ever forget how unforgiving IRC users are, just join a highly populated channel and ask a simple question. === scottrigby_away is now known as scottrigby [18:22] well, i got my answer so back to work :( [18:22] ill try to login here more often [18:22] * adom waves. [18:24] cya! [18:25] adom: msg me [18:25] :P [19:02] MutantTurkey: iphones are awesome! [19:03] And if you splurge for AppleCare, they'll replace it if you drop it, so you don't have to worry concrete! [19:03] How many times will they replace it? [19:04] An excellent question! [19:04] I don't know, because I've never gotten AppleCare on a phone [19:05] i wouldn't waste money on any extended things [19:05] they are easy money for most companies [19:05] leave it to a turkey to try to smash a phone [19:05] 'perpetually afraid of thanksgiving' [19:05] I think it's a good deal for the laptops because there are all sorts of things than can fail, and they're all expensive to fix. [19:10] I always had it on my laptops, where it included the tech coming out onsite to fix the thing. [19:10] This has been nice because you're back up in a day if something breaks. [19:11] It's really nice to be able to bring the box into the apple store and say "fix it!" [19:13] They replaced a faulty screen and battery in my macbook. [19:13] They also fixed up the mess I made of the bottom cover when I upgraded the ram to 8 gb. [19:15] "Those screwriver scratches? Came like that" [19:15] hehe [19:16] "your easily worn off warranty sticker is broken? no sorry wecan't service that [19:16] your battery water indicator is purple even though it was kept in a watersafe container placed in a sealed vault for the entirety of its life, whilst next to a dehumidifier? sorry we can't service that. [19:17] I recently dropped my phone in a puddle for ~10 min. Sticker is still white.... not sure if it's a trap.... [19:22] MutantTurkey doens't need a warranty/guarantee he's opening a repair business [19:22] repair my doesn't [19:22] It's REALLY difficult to take the bottom cover of a Macbook off and on without messing up the rubber coating on it. [19:23] Also getting the tiny screws all lined up properly is damn near impossible [19:24] AppleCare sell Koolaid? [19:24] I'm sort of glad the newer models are designed to not be opened. It removes the temptation to do so :) [19:25] hammer [19:26] my laptops don't tend to break [19:26] pleia2: then you're not tinkering enough [19:26] It's more that parts of them break :) [19:26] Also I was taking this on the train every single day. [19:27] Nowdays it gets to stay home most days, and I just bring in the much lighter iPad. :) [19:27] my secret is not buying mac+applecare, but buying cheapo x86 laptops that last forever [19:27] my netbook has been all over the world with me, 4.5 years with no issues [19:28] * pleia2 toss in purse [19:28] Do you have one of those Linux laptops that require a reboot every time you try to connect them to a projector? :) [19:28] nope, all mine work great with projectors [19:28] I loan mine to mac people who forget their dongles :) [19:30] Meanwhile I'm still trying to convince my boss I can do a presentation in Powerpoint on my Mac, and that I don't want/need a Surface :) [19:32] pleia2: did you find your way home or are you still in the office? [19:32] jedijf: found my way home! [19:32] :) [19:33] we didn't get home until 10PM or so and I was all *so tired* and mjoseph was like "you know I do this every day, right?" [19:33] ha [19:33] pleia2: Wait, you have an office in SF and you work from home? [19:33] waltman: no, palo alto [19:33] Or is it way down in the valley? [19:34] aha [19:34] not my office, I'm badge for sunnyvale [19:34] PA's nice from what I remember. [19:34] badged [19:34] PA is very nice ($$$$) [19:34] pleia2: Tell them they need to bring back their RPN calculators :) [19:34] Title for this position: FTP Specialist [19:34] lol [19:34] Doing FTP full time doesn't sound very fund. [19:34] fun [19:34] how is that even a job? [19:34] btw, isn't that Buffy's hometown? Where you are badged. [19:35] JonathanD: We have one at QVC. [19:35] heh [19:35] jedijf: alas no, that's sunnydale [19:35] near LA [19:35] KyleYankan: is he/she being replaced...? [19:35] HP48 ftw [19:35] JonathanD: I dont think so, but he does need to take some Vaca, dude it here waaay too much. He ahs no backup, so when a FTP job goes down, we're supposed to contact him. 24/7/365 [19:35] KyleYankan: and what does he/she do... upload and download things all day? [19:36] I run an HP48 emulator on my phone as my calculator. [19:36] I have an old HP 11C that's going on 30 years old and still works great. [19:36] KyleYankan: maybe his is more involved [19:36] this descript is just... funny [19:39] waltman: oh, and there are a couple sf offices but one is snapfish and another is sales or something (they don't let engineers in) [19:39] :( [19:39] that's a lot of offices [19:39] yeah, there are like a zillion [19:40] the one in sunnyvale is cool, old palm building that looks out over Moffett air field [19:40] not cool enough for me to actually go to it though [19:41] Do they at least have free lunch? [19:41] hah, no [19:41] yesterday I was like "oh, cafeteria, do I need money?" "yes" [19:42] How quaint! [19:43] Was it actually possible to pay with cash, or do you need to use paypal or nfc or suchlike? [19:43] can use cash [19:44] payapl? wouldn't it at least be google wallet? [19:44] At HP? [19:45] oh [19:45] Bitcoin! [19:45] nevermind :P [19:45] bitcoin! [19:45] pleia2: Did you realize this early enough that you could do some quick mining on your laptop on the way down? :) [19:46] lol [19:46] I don't think "quick mining" is a thing. [19:46] Certainly not on anything portable. [19:46] google's cafeterias don't take google wallet either, but that's because the food there is free ;) [19:46] they probably take it in their on site shop [19:46] Whose food is better -- HP's or Googles? [19:47] certainly more selection at Google, but I quite enjoyed my taco salad yesterday === scottrigby is now known as scottrigby_away === scottrigby_away is now known as scottrigby === scottrigby is now known as scottrigby_away === scottrigby_away is now known as scottrigby
