1564. We've told him before. I don't think he cares.

[Korot 6]

1566. That's great, everybody is now all of a sudden a number of, starting with Hamish. How hard is it to count to five people?

[Muck308 55]

1567

Starting from one? Un, deux, trois...

Ham and I both posted at 12:08 AM. The initial misnumbering is thus understandable, although he should have checked and fixed it after posting.

[Korot 6]

1569. And anyone after that should have noticed that the post count was of, as a page always starts with the number n*30+1, with n being 0, 1, 2, 3, ...

How about cash, then?

[Hamish 1,369]

1573. Duke, yeah, I should have changed it, but I was on my iPhone and that only likes the quick reply box. It doesn't load the "reply" "Quote" or "Edit" ones (as in the text boxes in those pages) I could have Just deleted it and reposted with the correct number, but I thought we could just get by easily enough by just noticing my mistake and moving on...

[Korot 6]

1575. I don't think those are useful, if you don't travel.

Someday somebody's going to have to explain to me why people go on the internet on things like their cellphones and game consoles. Isn't that what your computer is supposed to be for? And how the hell do people manage to type without an actual keyboard?

Punching buttons with the Wiimote? Slow and clumsy. Using a cellphone keypad? Even slower and clumsier (another thing I don't "get" and find myself unable to do: "texting"). Tiny little qwerty buttons, perhaps on a touch screen? Too damn small, I can't aim that precisely with my huge fingers. I need a stylus to realistically mange such things.

1577. Hey, my computer's back up and running after a hard drive crash on Thanksgiving weekend. WOOT!

[Larks2242 251]

marketing + fashion = cellphones and game consoles with Internet connection

I've got a cellphone bought in 1999 and no game console: why should I have to spend my money to buy something that I can find in my PC?

Marketing:

Little company: "I don't know how to sell my phone, what can I do? I'll add an unuseful Internet connection... maybe someone will buy it"

Big company: "Have you heard it? That little company added an internet connection to the cellphone... we must do it!"

Fashion:

A: "Don't you know? With the cellphone I bought today I can see Internet sites!"

B: "Oh, I must buy it!"

1580. I got new glasses today. Yay.

[Hamish 1,369]

1581. Duke, simply, a computer may not be available for various reasons, and its convenient that there is a source of internet of a mobile device.

If you absolutely must be online on the fly, I can see the phone/PDA connections... but your game console? Come on now. Under what reasonable circumstance will you have access to a Wii but not a computer? I can think of none.

Although, personally, no internect connection for me is convenient at all if I do not also have access to my hard drive. Hence... not only does it need to be a computer, but it needs to be my computer.

I hear ya, Duke. I can't stand using the internet on phones. I would never use it on a game console. Those are for playing games.

Oh my, two in a row for the Pens over Philly. A much closer game tonight. Crosby wins the game for Pittsburgh in the SO. Big smiles.

May 19 1585: Spain confisquates English ships

[Korot 6]

1586. Larks: Hmm, that's odd indeed. Maybe it only counts the first page OR it doesn't include views of people who post afterwards, don't know.

[astronelson 339]

1587. Maybe the view count doesn't include the viewers who posted, that is, there were 1,000 viewers who did not post anything.
