The new chat thread - now with bitter arguing

[plintus]

So recently I decided to stop smoking cigarettes (I stopped with marijuana about 2 months ago), and let me tell you something; it's really fucking hard to stop. You might be saying, "Well Duh," but it isnt as hard as I thought it was going to be. Wish me luck.

Fucking cops in this country...

Not gigs for the processor - GHz

gigahertz, dude.

I'll write gig if I feel like it.


On the other hand, that iPhone looks like something out of Logan's Run. Pretty intense technology indeed.

I'm enjoying YouTube on my iPhone :Smug:

People. It's a fucking revolution.

Um, what does it do? Except show videos from youtube? Honestly, I'm way behind in all things geeky.

"Gig" is usually meant as gigabyte, or you will be misunderstood... and we [geekz] feel utter pity to those who can't be schooled

- a cellphone
- Internet browser which shows pages "as is". Interstingly enough, when pics are decreased to a smaller size, they don't have that awful pixelization/artifacts, they are smooth. goes for mail atatchments too
- mail client
- best video iPod ever (plays music too
- entire surface is a touch screen under durable glass. Supports multitouch (you can pinch photos to zoom in/out).
- virtual keyboard - most of the device is it's screen
- WiFi
- Google maps + traffic reports (no GPS)
- weather and stock widget

I must say this is the most convenient and easy to use gadget I ever held in my hands. Everything is very intuitive, and you hardly need to think what's where (for instance, Blackberry had me puzzled for some time Typing is incredibly easy, and i can already write a novel if I need to.

It has some minuses, of course, but it all varies depending on what you want to dow ith it.

Not for business people.

I think everyone else understood him perfectly well. A real geek would have gone into the ambiguous definition of giga in informatics by now anyway

Thanks for the info, now I probably won't look as stupid when the kids start talking about it around here. I don't think I'll ever need one, though. The last time I went to buy a cellphone, I spent fifteen minutes trying to explain why I wanted the oldest model they could find - I'd rather have a simple, durable phone than some multitool with hundreds of functions that I'll never use (like my "state-of-art" work-cellphone, which I hate). I use my cellphone for exactly three purposes: calls, sms and alarm clock.

I guess I'm too old.

no you're not too old... i use mine for eacly the same things, and the included "Solitaire" card game when i am bored during classes...

I dont see why i would use my cell phone for internet or sending an email... i guess you have to pay some extra fee for those services, i already pay for the dsl access at home, i dont want to pay twice for the internet, it is already expensive enough now... and reading websites on a tiny phone screen doesnt appeal to me at all... and while you have a phone, i guesss if you really want to tell something to someone, you will rather call him than emailing him ...
But I think that this kind of all in one phone could be usefull for businessmen/women who travel often.

Weell seems like it's been a thousand years that I didn't write here.

So many things happened...

But now I'm glad to tell my fellow dt-lovers that... a new dt fan will come to life in 8 months!

I like the iPhone so far: it makes calls OK, has a speaker (I HATE when those are used in public, but when you are on hold for 30 minutes and need to do something on your PC meanwhile - it's really useful), I can check all my main mailboxes in a few TOUCHES and speed on carriers network is ~dial-up (tried today for about 2 hours - see clown comment above ) + plays music and video = does everything I need, so I'm really happy usual cell is not enough for me any longer. Now i need to try porn-on-the-go.

First day on? Babies can hear/understand stuff when they're like 5 months old (not sure though), so she can play DT to the baby from that moment on .

What a blessing, to listen to DT before you're even born . Now that's one lucky baby

 

[Matse]

Congratulations. You should start from the first day with the instrumental songs like Ex Nihilo, Mine is the grandeur, Archetype :zombie: , etc and as soon as it can understand words you can play the others. Maybe at first some slower ones, those with female vocals and so on. I am sure it'll be ready for everything else when it is 1 year old.

I had my first German language class today. It doesn't seem that hard, so that's good. However, I still have 5 courses ahead, so wish me luck!
