^Wonder if its battery will still hold a decent charge if it's been 4 years since it last got plugged in.-40hz (June 07, 2011, 06:31 PM)
Good Question... I (just put it on charge) guess we'll find out in the morning... 
(Bad Monkey) Hover don't. I transfered the main company from Network Solutions to Hover last week, and it was enabled by default (as a courtesy) on the newly transfered domain.-Stoic Joker (June 07, 2011, 11:31 AM)
I think a lot of them throw freebies in like that when you transfer.-wraith808 (June 07, 2011, 01:50 PM)
That looks pretty good!-cranioscopical (June 07, 2011, 09:33 AM)
They also offer private registrations (i.e. ownership masking service) at a nominal additional cost if you want to hide your real contact info from casual perusal.-40hz (June 07, 2011, 08:25 AM)
maybe not completely seamless ... as we did have a minor (4 hour) Email outage. But that was because I'd been in a hurry and ("Christmas Tree'd" the input) created a circular reference in the MX records (...Hay, (sh)IT Happens). However, when I caught and corrected it the push was instantaneous ... Because mail (that people had been waiting on for hours) started flooding in (literally) within seconds after I hit apply. But that was not Hover's fault.Hm, the guy running the cloud has a douchebag hat.

I had one for my Sony Clie until that died. I ended up giving my keyboard to a friend who had one that still worked.
I really miss my Clie. It was a simple and reliable device that didn't try to do too much. But what it did do, it did brilliantly. I wrote the entire first draft of a book on that little bugger. Too bad Sony scrapped it's PDAs and went completely over to smartphones.-40hz (June 06, 2011, 12:48 PM)
You want another one (Sony Clie that is)? I got one sitting in the closet I never could figure out a use for.-Stoic Joker (June 06, 2011, 04:40 PM)
Thanks. But I already gave away all my software and accessories and have since moved on to other things. And migrated all that data too. Boy was that ever a pain. Wish I got your offer three years ago! You could have named your price...(Story of my life.

don't think so. The Android phone would still need to know your location to provide you with phone service.-Deozaan (June 06, 2011, 02:19 PM)
The "Phone" part of the phone only needs to know that a (totally ground based) cell tower is near enough for good signal. The tower's exact location isn't important, and the phones is completely irrelevant (to the phone).That line where he says "In the end they're all getting it here." is absolutely brilliant.
(Now that I've stopped laughing, I'm left with this uneasy feeling it might not be a joke.)

I don't like this at all. I don't want my phone to require anti-virus software!-phitsc (June 06, 2011, 06:43 AM)
The "pus##" makes me wonder if perhaps even you don't know the meaning of pusw?-Deozaan (June 05, 2011, 08:30 PM)
Thanks for pointing out that pus tool!-cranioscopical (June 06, 2011, 06:24 AM)
Infrared? (hehehe) I can just see it now... Like most of Apple's "security" it'll get "CracKed" by a 12 year old child with a 10 cent piece of plastic (that just so happens to filter out that spectrum) in a week.
Christ, my dog walks in front of the cable box and the remote takes a shit ... We're not talking about a reliable technology here.-Stoic Joker (June 03, 2011, 11:38 PM)
While it may not be reliable, it's the thought that counts.
And that thought would somewhere along the lines of "thought police".-Renegade (June 04, 2011, 12:26 AM)
...(and still am)...(Tehehe)Do you consider those types of activities as business/productivity? My gut says that on-board would work fine, but I just don't know anymore.-steeladept (June 04, 2011, 12:16 AM)
...But yes, the current generation of onboard video should handle a 5 year old game just fine.Yep. Using ALYac on my Android.-Renegade (June 03, 2011, 08:19 PM)
) But I'd run a sharpie marker over the scratches in the black paint to make them a tad less obvious.*Sigh* At least there's still hope for the server OS's (i think...).-Stoic Joker (June 03, 2011, 11:50 AM)
There will be until Microsoft decides to drop Windows Home Server. It really is a little gem.-40hz (June 03, 2011, 12:35 PM)

Thank heavens for Linux.-40hz (June 03, 2011, 09:36 AM)
I'm not a Microsoft apologist, but they do have a business to run. And activation and "genuine advantage" aren't too burdensome the way they've implemented it.-40hz (June 02, 2011, 01:20 PM)
Here is a related question for those of you who know....Assuming you are not gaming or doing any high-quality artwork, is there any reason not to use onboard video? From what I have seen, the onboard video cards are quite capable, even for gaming (as long as it isn't cutting edge games).-steeladept (June 03, 2011, 12:46 AM)
