2011 Nov 06 08:47 (#4223.12841):Honestly? I've missed posts like this.
2011 Nov 03 09:30 (#4220.12837):Here's a possibly answerable question. If you go to the Reader settings page (from the gear up in the upper right corner), there is a tab that says "Send To". You can enable a passel of sites like digg and twitter and it will put a "share to" button at the bottom of each post where the "Share with friends" used to be. Then, there is the "Create a Custom Link" option. Does anyone know how this works? Could a custom link be created for any site? How about a site that runs on ye olde MetaPhilter engine?
2011 Nov 02 02:08 (#4220.12835):You know what this site needs? A mobile app. Anybody looking for a fun coding project? Anyone looking for a fun coding project that will arbitrarily and suddenly be broken if the site framework is ever updated?
2011 Nov 01 12:53 (#4221.12826):I'm a lot more impressed at this than when he drops a million points on basketball scrubs.
2011 Nov 01 10:57 (#4220.12822):Where's the Like button for this post? Who can I complain to about this?
Oh, dammit.
2011 Mar 16 10:20 (#4219.12819):Mounting up with the regulators in the sky. One more area code to find some hos in.
2010 Sep 14 12:13 (#4213.12791):Oh, also I found some other opinions from the unwashed masses by googling around.
2010 Sep 13 11:56 (#4213.12790):Interesting idea. I just had a conversation with my dad about whether phones had HDMI outputs yet and apparently the answer is "yes".
Replacing your television with it is dicey unless you don't actually use the television almost ever (i.e., you have no DVR and no channel selection, just odds and ends you might be able to get from websites or torrents (sub-note: the epic supports the standard internet pirate video codecs while the evo does not, according to your links)). If a game is on a national broadcast or cable channel, they usually have exclusive rights so you would have to be lucky and have a pre-existing relationship between sprint and the league (NFL, MLB...) to see actual footage. I don't know how this works but I do see a lot of commercials with people watching sports footage on their phones and can't tell it that is supposed to be whole games or highlights or what.
I would also double check with someone who has an Evo as to whether absolutely everything can be put out on the HDMI port. I wouldn't be surprised if it only worked inside certain applications and not others (such is digital rights management). Also check if at all possible whether you get decent 4G coverage at your house before diving in. It would suck to cancel everything and find out you have lots of drop-outs and/or sub-4G coverage that means your video goes dead when you get a call. You'd also have to be sure you'd get an unlimited data plan.
As for epic vs. evo, I think there isn't a ton of difference between the highest echelon of phones. It comes down to the 1 or 2 features that happen to catch your eye or even just random things like the shape of the phone.
Any EVO users still around here that can weigh in?
2010 Jul 11 08:57 (#4212.12786):Did you actually have the crazy Wagyu burger they talk about? Seems like that would make a bold and very tasty re-introduction to non-vegetarianism...
2010 Jul 05 08:28 (#4211.12784):I propose that Ben does whatever he did last night over again and that he puts together an aethermix that alternates his body-bangin' tracks with tracks that are him just rambling some stream-of-consciousness into a microphone.
I would listen to it.
