@Cerberus I wasn't joking... I thought comments to questions or answers could go on as long as people keep adding on. There's no limit right? 50 comments?

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

Mitch

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Thanks! You're paying, I take it? :D

Mitch

This question appears to be off-topic because it is about trolling. — snailplane 10 mins ago

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@MattЭллен I'm wiring the money to your account right now. ....... done!

Matt Эллен

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 yay!

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

no but seriously Android has come a long way since 2.2

heck you could even just install Cyanogenmod, I bet they can bring your phone up to 4.0

Mitch

@MattЭллен you're throwing the party!

Matt Эллен

13:35

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 I know. people around me have upgraded, and it seems very nice, but until tinder, nothing caused me to want to upgrade. my phone still works, even now!

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 last time I checked I don't think it could

Mitch

Tinder is what made you want to upgrade?

Matt Эллен

maybe there has been and upgrade to that, since

@Mitch I use it a lot and my phone being old is hampering my use

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@MattЭллен no I just checked, it only supports CM7 (gingerbread)

but your phone should be able to run gingerbread from stock. according to wikipedia.

Matt Эллен

I'm tempted to keep my phone, but get a tablet and tether the tablet to my phone. the hudl is pretty cheap

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

Google may be announcing a nexus 8 soon.

Matt Эллен

13:38

phone or tablet?

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

if they do, an 8" is your thing, then that'd be the tablet to get

it's a tablet.

Matt Эллен

would it be cheap?

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

Nexus One: phone. Nexus S: phone. Galaxy Nexus: phone. Nexus 4: 4" phone. Nexus 7: 7" tablet. Nexus 10: 10" tablet. Nexus 5: 5" phone. Nexus 8? 8" tablet. rumoured.

Usually the nexus devices are pretty cheap.

But they won't have SD slots.

Mitch

I want a Nexus 24. I have really baggy pants so it'll fit in my pocket

Matt Эллен

hudl is 7" tablet 16GB storage. £120

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

13:41

I guess the reason Google is rumoured to be cancelling the Nexus line is that the next Nexus phone should be Nexus 6, but then it'd be too big to be a phone, and then they also run out of numbers.

Mitch

Nice price... or is it?

Matt Эллен

I guess I could get a nexus 7 for that price

Mitch

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 They should make up new numbers. They're google, they can do that.

Matt Эллен

the nexus googol

!!define googol

KitSox

@MattЭллен googol (cardinal) The number 10

Mitch

13:42

Whoa...that's wrong.

Matt Эллен

you mean

Mitch

formatting issues?

Matt Эллен

> The number 10^100

@Mitch yes

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

how much ram does the hudl have?

Matt Эллен

anything non-ascii is cut out

Mitch

13:43

'^' is non-ascii?

Anonymous

'^' is ASCII.

Matt Эллен

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 1GB

@Mitch no, but the superscript 100 that is actually used is

Mitch

@MattЭллен anything weird is cut out.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@MattЭллен too small

Matt Эллен

@Mitch yeah. wiktionary is run by The Man

Mitch

13:44

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

apparently there is a new hudl 2 in Sept

@MattЭллен yeah cerb is always complaining that his phone doesn't have enough ram

Matt Эллен

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 huh

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

my tablet is the same way.

Matt Эллен

13:45

I don't ever complain that

Mitch

Yeah we know. We can't even read your complaints.

Matt Эллен

Also, my desktop is bust at the moment, so I need to spend spondoolics on that

@Mitch not enough ram?

Mitch

Ha ha. You must complain a lot.

to overflow everyone's RAM.

Matt Эллен

so much you've run out of stack space to comprehend it

jinx!

Mitch

Your stack isn't big enough to handle the truth.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

13:47

oh you boys. Always comparing stack sizes.

Matt Эллен

my stack doen't have hands. I think that's the bigger problem. it can't handle anything

KitFox

Whoa, I just walked into a weird discussion.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

tell us about it!

Mitch

@MattЭллен what you can't do with hands!

KitFox

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Well, you're having it, so I don't really need to, do I?

Mitch

13:49

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 no, u tell us about it!

Matt Эллен

@Mitch if God had wanted us to hold things, he'd have given us hands

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

Is everyone else seeing the star board changing constantly?

Mitch

OK, we can all read mostly.

Matt Эллен

it's just Kit destarring things

Mitch

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 I thin ksomeone is extra starring things. Or there's a time changing.

well, time changes a lot anyway, but I mean time is passing.

Argh.. you know what I mean!

Matt Эллен

13:50

You mean you wish your stack were bigger

Mitch

Kit kindly removes single star things

@MattЭллен I don't think God was thinking everything through.

Matt Эллен

@Mitch with great power comes great responsibility. wait... so... spiderman is God?

Mitch

He did a good job with putting ears right behind the eyes, you know, for glasses.

Matt Эллен

yes. that's very useful

Mitch

@MattЭллен I KNow! He doesn't act so god-like all the time what with all his girl problems.

KitFox

13:52

We have certain users who like to star random things.

Messes up the whole system.

FFS.

I have to tell you all something a little shocking.

Mitch

Success!

We're listening.

KitFox

I think I might be losing my taste for coffee.

c c

!!define diploma

KitSox

@cc diploma A document issued by an educational institution testifying that the recipient has earned a degree or has successfully completed a particular course of study.

Matt Эллен

is shocked

Mitch

13:53

@KitFox holy shit!

@MattЭллен joinx!

Matt Эллен

too strong or not strong enough?

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@KitFox That's crazy! And for some reason I just spent the last two days drinking nothing but tea!

c c

latin words and their weird plurals..

Mitch

too meh?

KitFox

I don't know.

I DON'T KNOW!

c c

13:55

!!Do you?

KitSox

@cc Yes, absolutely

Mitch

Here's a way to deal with it. "It's not really a problem."

KitFox

!!tell me why!

KitSox

@KitFox Command why! does not exist.

Mitch

If coffee fell off the face of the earth right now, would you care?

KitFox

13:55

Oh right, it won't just text string.

@Mitch I don't think I would.

I'm debating between coffee and tea right now.

Mitch

Then just ignore it.

c c

!!tell me echo why!

KitSox

@cc Command echo does not exist.

Mitch

I find it extremely annoying when people just have hot water, instead of coffee or tea.

c c

!!echo what

KitSox

13:56

@cc I don't understand. Use the !!/help command to learn more.

c c

hmm no echo..

Mitch

It's almost like "What? you mean that was an option? I've been wasting my time with this other crap?"

Matt Эллен

!!> "WHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?"

KitSox

@MattЭллен "WHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?"

c c

in Sandbox on Stack Overflow Chat, 13 secs ago, by kwak

!!tell me echo why!

Matt Эллен

13:57

!!why?

KitSox

@MattЭллен Were you trying to invoke me? Use the !!/help command to learn more.

Mitch

@cc Did it work there?

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@MattЭллен From my quick comparison, the Nexus 7 has more ram; otherwise the specs are really comparable. The Hudl has an SD slot which is handy at times. Esp on a tablet if you want to use it to watch movies.

c c

@Mitch it did

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

But the Nexus 7 is supported by Cyanogenmod which means it will get Android updates after Google stops supporting it. The Hudl? who knows if it will ever see an update.

Mitch

13:58

@cc hm... I'm no programmer but that sound weird.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

Both tablets are slated to be refreshed in the next few months: the N7 (probably) replaced by the N8 in June/july, and the Hudl by Hudl 2 in Sept.

Matt Эллен

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 true

c c

@Mitch the tell command forward a command to a user

!!tell Mitch echo banana would work there
