00:55.48Dougie187well f00f-
00:56.00Dougie187if you are interested in getting a laptop they have an awesome deal until the 14th
00:56.13Dougie187there is a 10% off coupon for X series, and 12% cash back through fatwallet.
00:56.16Dougie187i think at least.
00:56.20Dougie187lemme check on the coupon part
00:56.35Dougie187yup.
00:56.36Dougie187http://www.fatwallet.com/cash-back-coupons/Lenovo
00:57.09Dougie187the cash back will take a coupon months though, but lenovo has no payments for 6 months on $750 or more.
00:57.20Dougie187s/coupon/couple/g
01:02.22f00f-ok, yeah i get employee discount
01:02.25f00f-probably around the same
01:02.28Dougie187this is better then employee
01:02.31Dougie187employee is 15%
01:02.34Dougie187that was my other option.
01:02.49Dougie187thats why im ordering it now.
01:02.51f00f-interesting
01:03.13Dougie187at least its 15% on T series.
01:03.16Dougie187but its 8% on R series.
01:03.24f00f-i've seen 25% off at times
01:03.28Dougie187so it might be a bit more on X Series, but i would assume its the same.
01:05.04Dougie187just ordered actually.
01:05.10f00f-which config
01:05.52Dougie187just the base proc, because i couldnt bring my self to spend $120 on the better cache.
01:05.53zhobbsinfobot: what is android?
01:05.55infobotzhobbs: what are you talking about?
01:06.10zhobbsinfobot: where can I find android
01:06.10infobotmethinks android is an Open Handset Alliance Project by Google or an alleged Open Source phone software stack that's really not open. http://code.google.com/android/, or if it's sometime actually freed, someone might port it on the neo, but the provided binaries are incompatible
01:06.35zhobbsha, wonder who put that in
01:06.49Dougie187base ram. 14.1 lcd, nvidia graphics, bash hdd, cheapest os, base battery, wireless n, PC slot + media card
01:06.59f00f-how much did it come out to
01:07.57Dougie187959 after tax, but im gonna get like 110 back in cash back
01:07.59Dougie187so about 850
01:08.21f00f-Bluetooth?
01:08.43Dougie187no bluetooth, i dont use it much and i have a usb adapter.
01:08.49f00f-and no dvd recordable?
01:09.01Dougie187oh hell yeah dvd recordable.
01:09.04f00f-regular battery
01:09.06f00f-?
01:09.07f00f-or 9 cell
01:09.09Dougie187reg
01:09.19Dougie187im plugged in most of the time.
01:09.22Dougie187so i dont need a 9cell right now
01:09.34f00f-no warrant or antyhing special
01:09.40Dougie187nope
01:10.09f00f-$842.67
01:10.26f00f-7662CTO
01:10.35f00f-14.1 WXGA TFT
01:10.38Dougie187whats that?
01:10.46f00f-T61
01:10.48f00f-with nvidia
01:10.54f00f-your confi
01:10.55f00f-g
01:11.01Dougie187yeah
01:11.04Dougie187but thats before tax
01:11.10Dougie187then you have to add 60 bucks for tax
01:11.12Dougie187and its about 900
01:11.21Dougie187so mines ~$50 cheaper.
01:12.53f00f-ah yeah it came out to 922.41 with tax and recycling fee
01:13.13Dougie187yeah
01:13.14Dougie187thats what does it.
01:13.33Dougie187i was calculating it total, because you have to pay taxes on the cashback first.
01:13.40Dougie187then you get the cashback back, but not the taxes.
01:14.38f00f-right
01:15.02Dougie187yeah
01:15.11f00f-although 6 months to wait for the money?
01:15.23Dougie187i dont remember how long it is, but its at least 2 months.
01:15.43Dougie187its about 3 months.
01:15.45f00f-if it was 6, then i'd just pay the extra $50
01:15.53f00f-not worth the hassle imho
01:15.59Dougie187i made an order on 4/19/08 and i get the cash back on 7/18/08
01:16.41Dougie187and it works good with the no payments for 6 months too.
01:16.49Dougie187so you should get your cashback before you have to pay it off.
01:25.41Dougie187but yeah.
01:25.51Dougie187im all about saving money.

02:28.43Dougie187i use to live in oregon.
02:29.25yakischlobaI used to think I might wanna move to Portland but I think its so similar to Seattle it might not be worth it.
02:30.04Dougie187well.. no sales tax.
02:32.56Dougie187but its got a higher income tax doesnt it?
02:36.07yakischlobaYes there is a state income tax.
02:36.19yakischlobaI've never bothered to see how it balances out
02:36.33Dougie187its 18% if i remember correctly.
02:36.52yakischlobaOw. Well sales tax in Washington is only 8.something%
02:38.03Dougie187yeah

02:46.19yakischlobaThere is no state income tax in Washington I don't believe? or at least I haven't had to pay it
02:47.30Dougie187ohhh ok sales tax in washington though.
02:47.36Dougie187florida's sales tax is 7.5
02:49.30yakischlobaI buy a lot of food at wholesale cost from work

03:17.27yakischlobaI read a bunch last night and I just got home..reading now.
03:17.34muthuok
03:18.11yakischlobatrying to figure out the whole content provider with something other than sqlite thing
03:18.57yakischlobaeverything I see assumes you're using sqlite
03:21.13*** join/#android eton (n=eton@ppp-58-8-211-38.revip2.asianet.co.th)
03:22.24yakischlobaI'm thinking hard to see if I can avoid using a content provider
03:22.35muthudo a orm
03:22.49yakischlobaI'm completely new to java and android :(
03:22.59muthuwhy you are avoiding sqlite?
03:23.25yakischlobabecause I think its too much messy work to write all your own queries
03:23.33yakischlobaits 2008, shit should be easier than that.
03:24.04yakischlobaORM is the way of the future
03:25.45yakischlobalooks like that might be beyond my capability at this time though
03:28.39muthuright
03:28.47yakischlobacall me crazy ;)
03:28.49muthuwhat other database are you thinking?
03:29.15muthuthe data access is a mess
03:29.20muthucan't argue there
03:29.33yakischlobaI meant to say that I'm avoiding using SQLite in the way everyone else seems to be doing
03:29.54muthuthere's no other way to do it
03:30.05yakischlobaWhy not? Aren't there ORM's for java?
03:30.19muthuyeah
03:30.33yakischlobaI saw db4o which uses its own database but i havent seen many other things
03:30.53yakischlobawell whats wrong with them? is everyones application so light on data access that they dont bother or what?
03:31.43muthuyes,
03:31.46muthudon't bother for now
03:32.13muthuthere's too many other things to focus on for now ;)
03:32.44yakischlobahmm.
03:33.21muthuthat's the first thing that stuck me btw
03:33.35muthuand i'm sure everyone thought of it
03:33.40muthubut no one did anything

18:09.30anno^daSomone experiences with NAS devices ?
18:11.30soulreaperi am on a constant search for a good one
18:17.36anno^dahmm yeah :)
18:17.58anno^daMine needs to run a Slimserver, consuming less power
18:18.03anno^dathats it :)
18:18.33anno^dathe problem is that the slimserver will serve a music library with round about 8000 flac files
18:26.09soulreaperthat is something i am constantly searching for... a device which consums very little power
18:26.27*** join/#android Dralspire (n=dralspir@56-196.126-70.tampabay.res.rr.com)
18:26.37anno^dayeah
18:26.49soulreaperbtw... i am in love with this case: http://www.chenbro.com/corporatesite/products_detail.php?serno=100
18:26.54anno^dathe thing is I've found devices which need round about 5-8 W
18:27.16soulreaper5-8W? the entire system?
18:27.19anno^dabut they are too slow to fit my needs
18:27.21anno^dayeah
18:27.43anno^dawait a minute I'll post you the link
18:28.15soulreaperalrighty
18:30.15soulreaperhard to find? i guessed so ;)
18:31.04anno^dahaha it is hard to refind it in the forum again :)
18:31.18anno^dajust had the thread open 2 hours ago
18:32.02*** join/#android cybereagle (n=cybereag@unaffiliated/cybereagle)
18:34.01anno^dagot it  :)
18:34.02anno^dahttp://www.fit-pc.com/new/specifications.html
18:34.13soulreapertoday i read an article about the new AMD Athlon 64 2000+. it beats the atom system in power usage
18:35.06anno^dayeah that could be
18:36.23soulreaperthe system sounds okay
18:36.30soulreaperpropably quite affordable
18:36.53soulreaperbut i am missing some features like gigabit lan and customizable ram
18:37.49soulreaperalso the S in NAS is pretty limited ;)
18:38.31anno^dayeah thats right
18:38.59anno^dayou could plugin an external storage but that consumes power
18:39.08anno^davia USB2.0
18:39.11soulreapervia usb you mean?
18:39.13soulreaperyeah
18:39.18anno^daeSata would be better
18:39.36soulreaperbut that is not what i am looking for... a raid 5 or 6 is something i am searching for
18:39.37soulreapertrue
18:39.42anno^daYeah ok
18:39.45anno^dahttp://www.via.com.tw/en/products/embedded/artigo/
18:39.53anno^dathats another possibility in this class
18:40.50soulreapertrue. but not what i am looking for
18:40.56soulreaperyou are in search of some kind of music box?
18:41.45anno^daI will use a Squeezebox
18:41.53anno^daas a receiver
18:42.11anno^daand the SqueezeCenter (Slimserver) for serving the music
18:42.26soulreapersounds good i think
18:42.35anno^dahttp://slimdevices.com/
18:42.41soulreaperwhat i want is storage... a lot of storage
18:42.50anno^daYeah I recognized that :D
18:42.53soulreaperand a running linux system for downloads etc
18:42.55soulreaper:)
18:43.02anno^dahaha :) yeah
18:43.15soulreaperbut the box should also support streaming if necesarry
18:43.27soulreaperlooks interesting
18:43.49anno^daand the server is under the GPL
18:43.57anno^dawhich makes it even more interesting ;)
18:44.07soulreaperyeah... i vagualy remember
18:44.25anno^daYeah it was formally known as Slimdevices
18:44.37anno^daLogitech bought the whole company
18:45.15anno^daI really like the multiroom feature. You can control the musik in every room with one remote.
18:45.28soulreaperthat is pretty cool
18:45.44soulreaperi would also like a system which plays the same music in every room
18:45.48soulreaperin sync
18:46.20anno^daAnd if michaelnovakjr would be here I would propose him to write an remote for android for the slimserver
18:46.32anno^daThats possbile as well.
18:46.32soulreaper:)
18:46.42anno^daYou can sync the music
18:46.44soulreaperi heard the n800 is already running android?
18:47.01anno^daSo every room plays the same music in sync :)
18:47.11soulreaperthat is good
18:47.30anno^daYeah it is already running and even the wifi is working. But it is some m3 based setup.
18:47.43soulreaperm3?
18:47.49anno^dathe old SDK
18:47.51anno^daversion
18:48.08soulreaperah ok
18:49.15gamblerthere is a guy who has written a JSR-82 bluetooth remote that works with alot of phones
18:49.21gamblerits suprisingly easy to setup
18:49.56soulreaperthat are also the logitech remotes which can controll everything
18:50.10anno^daYeah but they are so expensive.
18:50.19soulreapersad and true :(
18:50.23anno^da300 $ for one remote
18:50.37anno^dayou could buy an iPod touch for that
18:51.00anno^daand use that http://penguinlovesmusic.de/?page_id=7
18:51.01anno^da:)
18:51.04soulreaperor anything else which costs 300$ ;)
18:51.13anno^dait is a remote written for OSX controlling the slimserver
18:51.54anno^daand thats what I want for Android as well :-)
18:51.58soulreaperbut it doesn't support every decice on earth
18:52.18anno^daYeah thats true :-)
18:52.41anno^daBut I'd like to fit my needs and not every devices need :-D
18:52.54soulreaperi prefere world domination ;)
18:54.48soulreaperspeaking of world domination... soon there is nothing left to conquer since the iphone reigns in terror
18:54.59soulreaperso hard times for the android
18:55.10anno^dahmm I wouldnt say that :)
18:55.26anno^dait feels like that at the moment
18:55.34anno^dabecause of the marketing wave
18:55.51anno^daevery tv station, blog, news site is writting about it atm
18:55.51soulreapereven i feel tempted by the dark side
18:56.04anno^daOh I feel as well but thats no problem :)
18:56.25anno^dait looks clean polished and I like the fancy UI widgets
18:56.35anno^daso no problem about that.
18:56.55anno^daJust the Android UI guys have to work hard :-)
18:57.02soulreaperi also like the eas of use and perceived speed
18:57.48soulreaperbut there are a lot of things i don
18:57.57soulreaper't like so there is still room for the android :)
18:58.08anno^dadefinetly
18:58.16anno^daI hate the closed system
18:58.42soulreaperclosed and very limited. especially since you can't run apps in backgroud or multiple apps
18:58.44anno^daeven if I use the Macbook Pro here. But there are a lot of things that I really hate
18:59.10anno^daYeah this limitations save battery power on the other hand
18:59.19soulreaperyeah true
18:59.37anno^daHaving services running all the time can be very battery consuming
18:59.41soulreaperand also protects the phone companies because people can't properly run im voip apps
19:02.26soulreaperbut... i do like the idea of the app store. such a repository is a great resource
19:06.45anno^dayeah but from my point of view it has to be more open
19:06.59zhobbsand should be optional
19:07.05anno^daI dont like the idea of subscribing to be able to write apps and so on
19:07.08zhobbsI should be able to install an app from any source if I want to
19:07.14anno^dayeah that as well
19:08.08soulreapercorrect
19:08.34soulreaperit is the central idea which is good. there is no other place so you are not going to miss any cool app ;)
19:11.25soulreaperthere should be something similar for android where you can specify sources of applications like the sources list in debian
19:11.55anno^daYeah thats what the Openmoko guys have
19:12.08anno^dathey've setup repositories with apps
19:12.22anno^daand you just install them by something like apt-get install ...
19:12.29soulreaperthat is cool
19:12.37zhobbsthere already are a couple of package management apps for android
19:12.39soulreaperalthough i don't belive in openmoko
19:12.51anno^daYeah Tracktroid for example
19:12.58zhobbsyep
19:13.18anno^daI dont believe it as well because they arent backed up by some big carriere
19:13.42soulreaperthat is their problem
19:13.49zhobbswhat license is the openmoko OS ?
19:13.53anno^daGPL
19:13.57anno^datotally GPL
19:14.00zhobbscool
19:14.06anno^daevery driver
19:14.19anno^daeven the CAD files of the case are under ther LGPL
19:14.36soulreaperbut how many devices use it? one
19:14.54anno^daand a system that is not really stable
19:15.21anno^daand a system with 3-4 framework iniatives
19:15.24soulreapermaybe the new open symbian is a good alternative
