As a DishNet subscriber, I just had an email pop up about this this morning....with the following link for details:

S4GRU will be down from 11 PM to 3 AM EST tonight as IP Board works on our servers. That's 8 PM to Midnight for you Pacific time folks.

 

So, please don't email me or text me unless it's still down after 3 AM. Thanks!

Wish I'd had the time to see this before this morning....tried going to the site late last night and after checking your twitter feed plus the FB page and seeing someone else there asking about the site being down, started worrying that Hesse might have staged an overnight coup on you haha.

Based on my communications with Sprint employees in official and non official capacities.

If that's true, then that would definitely explain the underlying reasons why Sprint seems to always be lacking in terms of PR and marketing/advertising approaches. A different mindset and approach could make a world of difference to my way of thinking.

Granted, I'm coming from a consumer mindset completely and certainly not a business/profit one, so I'm sure I'm probably just missing a point somewhere.

When i wasnt playing Sword of Fargoal or Mule I was keeping the phone line busy.

 

Play the C64 emus on my Note2 with a wii controller all the time. Bet the game devs would have never guessed their games would still be played 30 years later on such a device.

 

Time to go on over to the off topic thread...

 

-- "Sensorly or it didn't happen!"

Some of my favorite C64 games were things like Lords of Conquest (Risk-lite before Risk existed in a sense), 7 Cities of Gold, Hacker, Raid on Bungeling Bay, the Ghostbusters game, and I played the original AD&D SSI Gold Box Pool of Radience (plus sequels) on the C64 as well.

I was top dog when I got my 300 baud with 450 turbo modem!

 

The world changed for me with just a few numbers. 1:3807 and my app I wrote on my 286 in high school can still be found around the internet today.

 

-- "Sensorly or it didn't happen!"

And I see someone else beat me to the 300 baud modem bit before my post showed up, ha!

Thanks. Sometimes I forget that compared to a lot of these folks, that I'm old. I'm happy to have reminders that I'm not alone. I need to get an old geezer emoticon.

Its much worse when you can remember connecting to single-line BBS's via a 300 baud modem via whatever home computer-in-a-box you were fortunate enough to afford (Commie 64 in my case, though that wasn't even my first, I had a TRS-80 CoCo II for my first, but never any modem for that one) and watching a single screen line per 10-15 seconds scroll across everytime you did something new. Or that you not only know of Q-Link being the Father of later-birthed AOL, but can quote the original company name off the top of your head (Quantum Computer Services) and actually give a little history due to paying $1000+ bills for the service, back in the heady pioneer days of per-hour charges before the age of enlightenment whence came the commercialization of, and unlimited-per-month access fees to, Al Gore's grand invention.

And the sad thing is, there are people here I know that can easily one-up me and put me to shame on the above.

Bottom line, no matter how some of the younglings make you feel Robert, don't even think you can start kidding yourself that you're old yet....you've probably got a good 10-15 years bare minimum yet before anyone who actually is old would even waste a nanosecond seriously considering the notion before they started to choke on their applesauce laughing hysterically.

Quick question, is it just me or did the I-81 corridor between knoxville and the tri cities used to have 3g along it? Was just looking at some Sensorly maps and noticed now it's nothing but 2g. Does that mean anything at all?

If it did previously at some point, it was prior to roughly 2 1/2 years ago...I've been regularly driving through there to/from PA since late August 2010 and have never gotten 3G until roughly the outskirts of the Johnson City exits.

I'm sorry, but fried chicken solves all of life's problems.

 

Robert

I don't know if I'd go that far. However, chocolate absolutely does.

I feel this thread diverged on a bit of a tangent...

And that's surprising, because that *never* happens here at S4GRU.

No clue, never heard of that one before. ABP is generally the most popular desktop blocker in my experience though, I just followed it into the mobile space once they created an app.

The round table format ate hairy spiders when drunk. Its towers became bloated after swallowing a mouthful of baby formula. The baby ate his poisoned barbeque chicken ribs without A1 steak sauce. Fix the chair leg before somebody trips and breaks their sister's glass. It peed shards of LTE droppings from bubbly fermented apples. Doctors gouge the helpless when options appear dangerously silly for perpendicular slicing. Around 2pm there was another explosive diarrhea attack that drove Dan to SMS SoftBank, which viciously countered MetroPCS;s audacity to compete. Meanwhile, Mexicans discovered sparkly water of Rio which tasted like rainbows.

LightSquared, however, beamed sparkly clusters of spectrum at GPS, causing multitudes of bananas being paranoid about world domination. This exacerbated an enormous flock of pelicans into your mother's house. Then seagulls confronted Darla with weapons manufactured in Korea that annihilated Kim Kardashian.

I just made this one. They could use it.

 

Love the design in principle, but somehow the chosen font just doesn't seem right.
