  1. Nothing new under the sun until you realize that such widespread surveillance can be performed now at much lower cost and can be stored away forever. Before you know it, every movement can be examined after the fact by those special people who know what is good for us better than we do.

    Exactly. It's like saying that smartphones were "nothing new" because we had computers in like 1980 or whatever.

    It's more efficient, faster, and broader than anything before. Kind of troubling if you ask me. And I'm not even one to worry about being tracked.

  2. With the little white thingy you get with the GoPro, vibrations aren't too bad. (With picture, at least.)

    When it comes to even feeling it on your head, it's not bad at all.

    GoPro is the standard for a reason. And the new black edition is DAMN sexy.

  3. Thanks for all the input folks, needless to say I was very pissed and could not think strait, to me I thought he was getting off easy but he is only 9 and I know I have done far worse before. Dad needs to keep a cooler headed

    I think every kid steals something at one point. I did, got beat (first time my mom had EVER done that), and never did it again.

    I'd be more worried if he ever starts sagging his pants. That's when you go ape shit.

  4. Good on ya, Zach. Not sure what the plan is yet, but will post up in the morning when the "whether" idjits decide if it's gonna rain all day...or not. I can see worrying about some salt if yer riding a vintage Norton/BSA/Enfield--or any bike that's appreciating in value--but the stuff I own isn't going up in value, whether it sits in my garage or gets ridden. If I was worried about keeping my 'spensive shit purty, I'd be riding my beater bikes in the winter so I could leave my $20K Ford pickup in the garage. ;)

    They're just wimps! You know I'm always in for a ride. :p

    Rode to work today. Feels great outside and the road was just wet no salt to be seen down here :cool:

    Agreed! Just got to school on the bike. Feels GREAT out already.

  5. While we are at it. Thoughts on the Nabi 2 for the boy?

    The Nabi is great for kids. They have a whole system of "Play these educational games and get points!"

    Then they can spend those points for like Angry birds and stuff. Best part about it, imo.

    For movies and stuff, I'd still get a regular tab though. Nabi lacks power, but awesome kid functionality.

    You sold it to me on black Friday! :lol:

    I thought I did, but I wasn't sure! :p Glad you like it!

  6. I bought my parents each galaxy tab 2 7" tablets. They work great for the $179 I paid for them. Nexus costs more and you're not getting $70 more IMO. You can add memory to the tabs where you can't on the nexus.

    Do the tab, she'll be plenty happy I promise.

    It's $199 for the 16 GB version now of the Nexus 7.

  7. My daughter has a Nexus 7 she dropped it, costing her a pretty penny to fix since it messed up the touch part of the screen. They are fragile compared to the Galaxy Note 2 which is what I have and it's sturdy ;)

    The Notes are freaking boss. The regular Galaxys are what are terrible, simply because they haven't been updated in a while.

  8. I worked at Best Buy for a few months and had to play and sell them every day. They're outdated.

    My suggestion (and I have it personally - it's great): https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_7_16gb&feature=microsite&hl=en

    As for keyboard, here's the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Keyboard-Keyboard-generation-920-003241/dp/B0054L8MR8/ref=cm_pdp_rev_itm_title_1 (Except I have the Android version.) It works great; no lag or anything. Just search for the Android version if you want that. They'll both work with each of them, it's just the special buttons that are OS-specific. (Menu, home, etc.)

    There's not too great of a selection when it comes to 7-inch tablet cases with keyboards built in.

    And for cases:

    http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_st?keywords=nexus+7+cases&qid=1359420382&rh=n%3A172282%2Ck%3Anexus+7+cases&sort=popularity-rank

    Sorted by popularity. Just pick one with nice reviews - all tablet cases really have the same feature-set.

  9. Try gfs up the street, if you're interested ill put the good word in. I know a couple of the managers

    That would be awesome if you could do that! That GFS is literally less than a minute away from my house.

    my work might be hiring entry level mechanic work soon.

    its a honda car dealership in fairfield, you would need to invest in tools.

    if that job doesn't open up, i know i can get you one with the detail company we use. i've known the owner a while, and its decent money (commision based on performance).

    If you could keep me updated on what happens with this, that would be great as well.

    Thanks for the responses, all!
