Also avoid hackers who go around in black leather with lots of guns saying the same thing. They may have taken a movie WAY too seriously.

Have I mentioned how much apartment hunting sucks? Everything I look at in this city for under $700 is a bedbug infested shithole or of dubious safety. At this rate I might just have to bite the bullet and pay $800 a month to find a new place that isn't total crap.

i rented a room in a basement last summer and even that didn't cost less than $700
pretty sure there isn't an apartment in this land that costs that little
but at least i got myself a real apartment now

I just want somewhere that the neighbors don't treat the hallway and the courtyard like a frathouse at 2:30 in the fucking morning. (That's not infested by bedbugs.)

So that's done ? You're engaged with your house now ?
Re: The Testingtard's Lament: Boo-Hoo-in' Revolution

engaged yes
the wedding will probably be in about two weeks
but i already sent in my 30 day's notice for the current living arrangement
i'm outta here by june 15 one way or another (this is a bit of a gamble that there won't be any delays, but it is a pretty safe bet and means i saved $600 in another month's rent)

Awesome, first the maps function on my new phone tells me I'm in Roswell Georgia, and now it's telling me I'm in Akron Ohio. For some reason the GPS does some goofy as fuck things in this building. Works fine when I step outside.

I did a presentation today and started by getting my own name wrong.
Maybe I'm a bit stressed.

differential GPS without >3 sats = comedy. Roswell is just Atlanta these days, just like everything that's not 20 miles up the 400 corridor.
mebbe your GPS is looking for airports when it throws a gear. DEN and ATL are both fricking huge. Pyramids huge.

looks like it's actually the phone
somehow in the last few days the gps receiver in my phone took a big shit all over itself
it looks like i'm not the only person to get this bug

The GPS on my Lumia 900 seems to have issues. I work in Dallas and live in Arlington, TX. In Arlington, my GOS works fine; maps pinpoints my home exactly and Foursquare pulls up places in my area. However, when I am in Dallas, my GPS puts me in Atlanta or Pittsburgh. I have a work phone that is an LG Thrill and its GPS has no problem picking up my location in the middle of downtown. Anyone else having issues with GPS?

Windows phone? My bosses went from iPhone to Win and are pissing and moaning. My Droid's working fine, as long as I turn it off and on once a week.
Wups just looked up Lumia 900. WinBlows Mobile oops.

Android sucks btw. If you don't expect a Windows Phone to be an iPhone it works fine. (Also WP 7 is not Windows Mobile.)

I had an iPhone. Loved the screen, hated everything else. I'm happy with my 4G Samsung Droid. Vive la difference. Both my GPS nav apps have worked flawlessly for the past year. Neener neener!

Unless you get a higher end device you have to put up with market fragmentation unless you want to DIY it and install your own custom roms, which leads to a bunch of other issues. You're also dependent on the hardware developers for any OS updates since they use their own individual distros, which might or might not ever happen.Knubble tov wrote:How so?

What do you mean by market fragmentation?
Re: The Testingtard's Lament: Boo-Hoo-in' Revolution
Posted: Fri May 25, 2012 1:33 pm
You have about five or six different versions of the Android marketplace. So depending on which phone you get the marketplace that comes with your phone might not have everything you want, and there might not be ways to get other marketplaces onto your phone without rooting it or doing a bunch of other stuff.Knubble tov wrote:What do you mean by market fragmentation?

Oh, I see. I thought your complaints about the device would have been about functionality, which is what I always hear. You know, shitty battery life, terrible screen, laggy touch response, not simple enough, terrible camera, etc.
