  1. So I was wondering, and now I know. !RDNrefresh will block one's own spoilers, if one uses the hashtag.

    1. @scribus So RDN Refresh tries to save you from yourself, I see.

              1. @theawesomepony Nevermind. So, then, are you perchance on a boat?

                        2. @scribus You got your wife pregnant without her knowing?

                          1. @emofluttershy Happened in 'Scrubs'.

                          2. @emofluttershy No, she just hadn't told me yet. Also, I am Brad Pitt.

                            1. @scribus I got the slasher wrong, didn't I? Which movie are you referring too?

                              Friday, 11-Nov-11 05:46:06 UTC from web
                              1. @theonepony "Se7en." I just thought you were double-tangenting to another slasher flick.

                                  Friday, 11-Nov-11 05:48:33 UTC from web
                                  1. @theonepony Yes. Which, in turn (I suppose) makes you God and Batman's confidant. Man, I really got the short end on this, didn't I?

                                    Friday, 11-Nov-11 05:49:39 UTC from web
                                    1. @scribus I also have the best voice ever. I made everyone love a two hour documentary about penguin.

                                      1. @theonepony Hey, penguins are awesome on their own! But, yeah, what a voice...

                                        Friday, 11-Nov-11 05:52:03 UTC from web
                                        1. @scribus It also means I'm in The Shawshank Redemption.

                      1. @theawesomepony Hey, if I'm gonna guess with absolutely no backing information, I'm gonna guess wildly. :p

                        1. @scribus eeyup i guess so bro so how was your day today

                          Friday, 11-Nov-11 05:50:30 UTC from web
                          1. @theawesomepony Pretty good. Not as productive as I'd hoped, but a good day nonetheless.

                            Friday, 11-Nov-11 05:50:58 UTC from web
                            1. @scribus what did you do today

                              Friday, 11-Nov-11 05:52:17 UTC from web
                              1. @theawesomepony Ran a box of things down to Goodwill, watched "The Thing" and bought a few groceries.

                                Friday, 11-Nov-11 05:53:24 UTC from web
                                1. @scribus ah have managed to find a job yet

                                  Friday, 11-Nov-11 05:54:51 UTC from web
                                  1. @theawesomepony No, I'm not that eager to, to be honest. I've still got things to handle about myself and my pad before I want to muddy up my days with more obligations.

                                    Friday, 11-Nov-11 05:57:30 UTC from web
                                    1. @scribus i understand bro so is it raining for you

                                      Friday, 11-Nov-11 06:02:43 UTC from web
                                      1. @theawesomepony It hasn't been, I don't know if it is at the moment or not... I take it that it's raining for you?

                                        Friday, 11-Nov-11 06:06:03 UTC from web
                                        1. @scribus i have no idea to be honest now what were talking aboutb

                                          Friday, 11-Nov-11 06:07:24 UTC from web
                                          1. @theawesomepony Uh, well, two things. One, you said to guess what you were on, so I kept making outlandish guesses. And two, you asked if it was raining for me.

                                            Friday, 11-Nov-11 06:09:23 UTC from web
                                            1. @scribus my bad im on a ipad i thought i told you my fault i got side tracted

                                              Friday, 11-Nov-11 06:10:42 UTC from web
                                              1. @theawesomepony Ah, gotcha. I thought about dashing from the Android tablets at Best Buy, but then I decided I probably shouldn't just leave my login info lying about like that. I installed the Desktop Ponies live background instead. ;p

                                                Friday, 11-Nov-11 06:12:00 UTC from web
                                                1. @scribus lol its my friends ipad not mine i would never throw away money on a ipad

                                                  Friday, 11-Nov-11 06:14:21 UTC from web
                                                  1. @theawesomepony I keep thinking I'd kinda dig a tablet, but I have no identifiable use for one. Except for a big game of Angry Birds or something.

                                                    Friday, 11-Nov-11 06:17:00 UTC from web
                                                    1. @scribus I'm planning on replacing my laptop with one of these. http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/

                                                      Friday, 11-Nov-11 06:19:25 UTC from web
                                                      1. @theonepony Yeah, I played with that one. Quite nice, I could dig it (if I didn't already have a laptop and a netbook). Its nigh-inevitable successor has a high spot on my future list, though.

                                                        Friday, 11-Nov-11 06:23:44 UTC from web
                                                      2. @theonepony Is it worth telling you that ASUS just announced a better version of that? The Transformer Prime. (Also, get an iPad.)

                                                        Friday, 11-Nov-11 07:02:29 UTC from web
                                                        1. @ceruleanspark Sorry, but I've developed a firm dislike for apple as a company. Also, thanks for the heads up. I might have to check that out.

                                                          Friday, 11-Nov-11 07:19:12 UTC from web
                                                          1. @theonepony If ASUS handles the transformer line anything like the rest of the android OEMs, the second the prime hits the market, the TF101 is a dead product.

                                                            Friday, 11-Nov-11 07:20:36 UTC from web
                                                            1. @ceruleanspark That's what it looks like. I might hold off for a few months now....

                                                              Friday, 11-Nov-11 07:21:33 UTC from web
                                                              1. @theonepony Hate Apple or not, that's something they don't do. The iPad two is out, but the iPad one is still fully supported with accessories, apps and firmware updates.

                                                                Friday, 11-Nov-11 07:25:12 UTC from web
                                                                1. @ceruleanspark I agree that all of apples products are well made and supported, but I feel that it's just not worth it to pay more for a stripped down and function crippled device.

                                                                  Friday, 11-Nov-11 07:28:22 UTC from web

                                                                    Friday, 11-Nov-11 07:29:07 UTC from web
                                                                    1. @ceruleanspark The total lack of actual multitasking for one. The lack of usb and sd slots is also a major factor. The Ipad has some pretty impressive hardware, but it's OS is so ruining. Not to mention Apple's apparent hatred for independent development, but that's a different topic all together.

                                                                      Friday, 11-Nov-11 07:32:43 UTC from web
                                                                      1. @theonepony When you say multitasking, what do you actually mean/want it for? I use my iPad on a daily basis and I've never felt this was a limitation, and this is having traded over from an android device! As for SD slots: I don't know if you've used android before, but OS support for things like installing apps to SD sucks ALL THE BALLS.

                                                                        Friday, 11-Nov-11 07:34:29 UTC from web
                                                                        1. @ceruleanspark That's why you use the SD for doc storage, besides, I thought you liked sucking the balls. As for multitasking, I mean the ability to run an app, minimize whilst keeping it running, open another app, minimize that one, and then reopen the minimized one again, and have it done with whatever you had it doing.

                                                                          Friday, 11-Nov-11 07:36:55 UTC from web
                                                                          1. @theonepony The smallest iPad is a 16gb model. Do you envision yourself needing expandable storage for docs apps and movies above and beyond that. Also, android's weird-as-dole partioning model means that out of say, 8gb of installed memory in a tablet, you'll have like, 1-2gb available for apps, and the rest has to be used for file storage anyway. In terms of background tasking, what thing are you expecting background apps to do? iOS will background music playing, file uploading and stuff using bluetooth, which are all the things I actually background task. It maintains open connections for things like RDP and sending midi over a network, or streaming internet radio whilst I type a doc. The only multitasking system I've seen on a portable device that actually works well is WebOS's. Android's is horrible, iOS doesn't really have it, nobody cares about blackberry, and what the murdock is windows phone.

                                                                            Friday, 11-Nov-11 07:41:54 UTC from web
                                                                            1. @ceruleanspark From what I've seen, the Android interface is much more appealing for what I actually plan on doing with it. I will, in fact, need external doc storage as I plan on using it as a laptop substitute.

It's actually less work for me to do that than it is for you to move an SD card. Look up simplenote for text editing. Android has it too. Automatic real-time over the web syncing.

                                                                                    Friday, 11-Nov-11 07:51:59 UTC from web

Even if it syncs with Dropbox, I would still have to clear things off my tablet for space. It's just more efficient to have more room. Besides, if I really wanted to(which I do not) I could load Linux on an Android.

                                                                    Friday, 11-Nov-11 07:29:29 UTC from web
