Seconds after waking up, I threw up. A tad concerned. But at least I know I'm not dreaming all of this... At least I hope I'm not.
-
@retl It's time to wake up.
-
@ceruleanspark Up get~
-
@colfax Ghhhh, Smiiiiith. Can't we do this some other time? I'm still a little sore from the other night.
-
@scribus Thanks. :> I'm doing a bit better, but I'm still a tad concerned about other things that need to get done in a timely fashion.
-
@rotation Ah. No. Probably not. Balloons aren't capable of reproducing, are they? http://rainbowdash.net/file/carcinopony-20110622T080715-hdsu2lp.png http://rainbowdash.net/notice/205849

@retl the base will explod in sixty seconds?
-
@quetzalcoatl Base? You mean that big burning crater of debris?
-
@scribus: Would you like an unlimited high-speed 64G speed Internet on the go? Contract is cheap! Only $1 per minute! (for the first thirty seconds.)
-
@retl 64G? I've still only got a 2G phone.
-
@eaglehooves To be frank, I actually don't even know what the Gs mean~
-
@starshine Possibly, but then I don't see why they wouldn't just rank the phones in terms of horsepower.
-
@retl It has to do with the network generation. 1G was analog, 2G is digital, 3G is digital with enough bandwidth to handle internet, and 4G is kind of poorly defined.
-
@eaglehooves 4G is a marketing gimmick. It's not just poorly defined, it simply isn't defined.
-
@rpb3000 4G is defined just fine. It's just US carriers misusing the term.
-
@ceruleanspark Hmm. I'll have to look into it again. I don't like the terms anyway; gimmie something concrete like transfer speeds and hardware specs.
-
@rpb3000 The IMT Advanced standard, which defines "4G" DOES specify minimum transfer speeds, efficiency requiremnts and transmission frequencies. The confusion seems to stem from the fact that there are multiple means by which you can meet said requirements.
-
@ceruleanspark Oh? You say things that make me very curious and confound my pre-existing notions of the term. Now I *really* need to look into it more.
