Reminds me of Steve Goodman. RIP



On a completely unrelated note, has anyone ever had their battery go so dead that they couldn't push start the car? On Wednesday afternoon I parked the miata after I got back from work, and on Sunday afternoon when I went to get some Chinese food the battery was dead. NBD, I had my neighbor give me a push with his miata. Nothing. After a couple of tries, we decided to try to jump it at least enough to get the windows up so I could park it on the street if I couldn't get it started. Sure enough, after a couple minutes on the jumper cables it started right up.


I assume I didn't have enough juice to turn the fuel pump and/or trip the FP relay. Is it because the 99+ alternators have the regulator as part of the ECU and therefore won't work unless the ECU has enough power? It works fine now I'm just curious.

 

OK, I'm looking at straight talk. I like the fact that I can keep my SIM/number and just swap it over. $45 a month for unlimited sounds good, too.

I need an Android phone. I have no ******* clue what I'm looking for. My requirements for a phone are...MS stuff, virtual dyno and....I think that's it. Maybe emulating old games, but that's not a requirement. Oh and HD video recording, too.

Oh god, I am nervous just thinking about this.

 

Ah, well, at least your requirements are fairly simple.

The barman replies: “Hello, you’d like a beer?”
“Yes,” replies the TCP packet, “I’d like a beer.”

 

That's good to know. Shoot me some links to what you would want and why.

After doing some reading on Straight Talk...I think I may stick with Ting.

 

That was sarcasm.

 

As far as I can tell nothing is close to the Galaxy S4. I had the S2 and it was pretty baller and that is like ancient tech nowadays.

It's a good chunk of change, but it's basically a ******* laptop powered phone.

 

I....I thought we were friends, Joe.



That's what I get from reading around. That and the HTC One. S2 is still 250-ish new.

 

My loan got approved! Closing on a house on Friday!

 

Brain: Pay your hosting bill mang! The wiki and sticky are so sad looking with all those broken image links.

 

viperormiata, I went with a Nexus 4 and don't regret it. https://play.google.com/store/device...gb_black_promo

$300 for 8GB onboard, $350 for 16GB. No, it's not as cool as a GS4, but at 1/2 the price you can't beat it.

 

The Nexus 4 is great bang for buck. I've heard some pretty good things. The S4 is a notch higher in just about every category, but I don't know if most people would even notice it. The actual phone resolution is much higher on the S4 (1080x1920 vs 768x1280), it has a bit faster ram (DDR3 vs DDR2)and 400 extra MHz from the CPU, but that is about it. I ditched my S2 for the shittiest android I could buy for like $80 so what do I know.

 

its more about everything got deleted.

 

I like that a lot. If it's available from Sprint I should be able to use it with Ting. I need to read more. Thank you for the link.

I'm definitely one of those people who can't/won't tell the difference.



Edit: jesus youtube, get your act together. I'd to be able to finish one video today.

The photon replies: “No, I’m travelling light.”

 

I got my S2 for $10. Samsung refurb. Flawless, and came in new packaging, with new equipment, and new externals. No issues in the year and a half I've had it so far.

 

Unfortunately the N4 won't work with Sprint/Ting. But I have Straight Talk, which is $45 per month unlimited* (~2GB of data per month) using AT&T's network.

 

Not bad but for people like me who use ~100 min/texts and 200-300mb of data that is steep. My last bill with ting was $18.

 

T-mobile also has a $30/month 100 minute unlimited text and web. For Ting I'd look at swappa.com and ebay for used Sprint phones.

 

I'm curious as to where you're seeing this. I've looked through their site, and the only "unlimited data" plan I can find is $70.

Link?

 

I'm not sure what I was expecting.
Dude, link me, please. I just need something to get started with.
I was sad to see that the N4 isn't Ting compatible. $45 isn't bad, but it's still more than I would need.
Pretty much this. I text 10x's more than I talk. Data would only be for toilet MT noob bashin and possible reddit time. And the occasional GPS(is that even data? I have no idea.)
Thanks for the link and info. I'll look into it.
