netless

I have been posting using my tab which is a lot slower than using the computer. Why? Internet is down for our section of town so I am not sure if or when I will be able to get on normally. Plus my tab is running out of juice so I will have to take a break before long. I can't get on MSN right now because of the tab being so close to having no energy. I should have juiced it up at work when I aw itt was so low. Oh well. So if I don't post you know why. Dammit I wanted to work on more Eve faces too. Growl.

>work on more Eve faces

Funny, since I actually play EVE, I don't really give much of a crap about how my character looks (at least, until Incarnae releases). It took me like... three months before I decided to even redesign my character's portrait when the new system was released.

It's all about the spreadsheets in space; and if you'll excuse me, I have some pirates to AFK drone murderate~

Like srsly, why do they even bother with having a graphics engine? And why would anyone pay 15 bucks every month to play a space themed version of MS Excel?

I just like playing with the character designer. I'm not going to actually buy the game

Because it's fun as hell, yo. Nullsec politics get way fuckin' crazy. I've heard stories - one alliance actually tried to get the power cut to a block of homes IRL during an important juncture in one war so their opponents would disconnect and be easy pickings, or summat.

Also, you only pay $15 a month if you're shit at the game. Making 300mil ISK a month is piss-easy if you know what you're doing. Then you just buy PLEX and use it to extend your subscription time.

PS. I say this while I watch anime on one monitor and keep a sleepy eye on my drones on the other as they pewpew space pirates for easy money~

Ouch, that sucks. D: If my Internet went out, I'd probably end up playing Dragon Age all the time. What is a tab?

Samsung Galaxy Tab. It is kind of like an Ipad but only 7 inches and has more ability to upgrade with a micro sd card for more space. It's small and fun but just too bad it can't be used as a phone because the phone companies won't pick them up for anything more than data plans. So if the net is out I can turn on my tab but it is a bit slower typing because it's a keyboard on the screen and not on the table and it takes more time to format and such because you have to type out the commands instead of using the cheat buttons above the text box.

I also use Google Maps on it so I always can find out where I am and find out how to get home. Gives directions and bus routes and bus times. I wuvs my tab.

Data plan + Google Voice, yo.

Or skype.

Ah, I see. :3 That's pretty awesome, minus the being unable to use it as a phone. I have a Droid 2, and I pay $30 - we have a family plan, and I only pay for my addition - for unlimited data a month. I love my Droid 2. Very portable, with a slide-out keyboard. Tabbed Dolphin browser for the win, too.

Yeh I could use the talk programs. I just haven't tried yet. I should do that.

Devin -Yeh it is nice. Much bigger than a regular phone but smaller than the ipad.

Here is a funny one. Apple is trying to sue Samsung for stealing their ideas incuding the fact that the Samsung Galaxy Tab is rectangular with rounded edges. I say Paramount or whoever had Star Trek sue them for copyright infringement since they always used a pad to write and work on. Ooh or Issac Asimov's relatives as he wrote about the same kind of thing in his books. Or whoever invented paper and books. There must be descendants somewhere from that person or persons.

Ah, so 20GB/month, or thereabouts.

I wish unlimited data plans were really unlimited... Telecoms would be shitting themselves silly.
