[02:08] zomg t2 nano instances! [02:17] jrwren: :) [08:32] any of you schmucks on a non-AT&T or VZW wireless carrier? I'm told T-Mobile doesn't suck as much any more [08:32] I have a fee-free exit to my contract w/ ATT available, investigating options [08:32] interested in hearing (recent) experiences, especially if you've taken it up north [09:10] I'm a former AT$T customer, fuck them, fuck them hard [09:11] VZW I view as the comcast of the cellphone world too [09:11] I moved the family to MetroPCS like two years ago and have never looked back. They merged with TMO and they're basically two halves of the same coin at this point [09:12] http://opensignal.com before you move anywhere see where you travel and if you're covered [09:13] Also, Metro usually have shit phones. Get unlocked and use that. Everything is GSM now too which is nice [09:47] Probably buying a sim-free (i.e. unlocked) iphone 6s [09:47] gonna do BYOD with one carrier or another [09:47] ATT is offering me a reasonable deal, and they're a known quantity, but I still wanna shop around [09:48] gonna do apple's iphone upgrade program... so amortized phone cost, replace every year [09:51] Scary_Guy: have you traveled much through the state, how often do you NOT have signal [09:53] I haven't traveled much with metro [09:54] there's an event I do up by Houghton Lake. The only people who ever have singal are verizon users [09:55] OSM is great for analysis though. Especially if you don't trust the carriers coverage maps [09:55] which I never do [10:02] yea, I'll probably go with vzw, just because they've got that upper part of the state on lock [10:09] well you have to go to the absolute tip and it vanishes [10:09] like innawoods [10:09] in town I had 3g at least [10:10] also I've heard that "verizon has the most nationwide coverage" is all just marketing and they all have pretty much the same [10:11] hence OSM, real data collected by users [10:27] well, Verizon's pretty dominant as #1 on the map :P [10:29] tmo looks pretty weak in the boonies compared to ATT or VZW [10:32] I said I've heard, which means it could have been BS and research it :P [10:32] Also, they may be #1 but I don't like their business practices so I avoid them. I really like how the CEO of TMO operates [10:47] the nice thing about where I'm headed with this scenario is that I can switch carriers at any time [10:47] of course, there'll be number porting costs, and activation fees [10:47] but I won't be encumbered by a contract, and can bring my phone anywhere [10:47] get a dual-sim phone [10:47] meh [10:48] iphone only. [10:48] boo [10:48] fits my usage perfectly [10:48] plus, I love iMessage. [10:49] and wifi calling from my laptop, etc... [10:49] also it depends on your carrier. sprint/vzw use CDMA and TMO/ATT use GSM (sim) [10:49] plus the rest of the world [10:50] the sim-free iphone's got the super radio that does just about everything [10:50] 6s that is, the 6 is missing a band or two [10:51] I just want something that will run #replicant [10:54] never used it [10:54] my experiences with Android have been mostly negative at worst, neutral at best [10:55] when was the last time you used it? [10:56] well, most recently a Fire tablet, but parents and relatives have android phones I refuse to support [10:57] pretty much how I feel about mac stuff :P But yeah, fire is crap [10:58] most android is crap, only the high end devices are good usually [10:58] nexus is the best, no carrier bloat [10:58] google bloat but you can get rid of that if you want [10:58] custom ROMs etc... [10:59] lack of rapid model iteration is good for me in this context :P [11:00] and I like the value retention of iDevices [11:01] gonna sell my 6 for like 400 probably, heh [11:01] which'll go a long way toward a 6s (espeically if I go with the monthly payment prog) [11:02] I paid 200 for my 1+1, I'm pretty happy [13:48] Morning [13:48] morning [13:48] cscheib: I'm on Sprint via Ting [13:48] If you like CDMA they're awesome. [13:48] Although Ting have partnered with a GSM carrier [13:49] that is undisclosed but likely TMO [14:22] http://www.ford.com/server-status [14:55] <_stink_> yeah [14:55] <_stink_> weird [15:37] http://makeit.netflix.com/ [15:38] brousch: awesome [16:08] Unrelated, I really hate ODBC [16:09] :) [16:09] windows odbc or other? [16:12] UNIX [16:12] Though Windows ODBC is a pain as well [16:12] You're making my eye twitch. I never got ODBC on Linux to work [16:12] yuck [16:13] I understand the concept and I can appreciate how it should worl [16:13] work [16:13] but it's made of pain and secret handshake configuration [16:13] and isn't remotely obvious [16:13] (I'm sure someone could say the same is true for MySQL / PostgreSQL) [16:13] I like pypyodbc on Windows [16:14] But at least I can replicate it [16:16] And here's where I find the damn driver that I thought was covered by the 15 other packages [16:16] *sigh* [16:17] and now to put the paths into some configuration file because ini files are superior to library paths [16:20] Databases: not even once.
