Pope Mobile posted:I just thought of another one: The Zune. I knew I shouldn't have gotten one after my dad did (given his tracked record) but I loved mine. It was a great music player, and I really liked the market. I was sad when it got water damaged My brother has one that was used drat constantly for 5 years and it's still chugging along. I think the service still exists. I think I'd use it of I had a compatible device (15 bucks a month to listen to anything I think).

This is an excellent username + post combination. I'm still rocking 2 tube "hd" TVs that both only go up to 1080i. The widescreen one that I recently acquired from my parents used to look pretty good, but the picture is starting to ghost (its pretty damned old). My 7 year old 4:3 TV still looks great (you have to letterbox it to use 1080i, but the Wii looks excellent in progressive scan.

cobalt impurity posted:But coffee makers have had built-in timers for at least 20 years. Just put it on your side table and keep an empty mug in the drawer. I'm sure you can get a single cup coffee maker that would do this. It seems like a lot of the cheaper drip coffee machine have this feature.

I have an aluminum computer desk that I still use today, but it's a beast. I actually used it as a TV stand for my 100 pound hd CRT for the longest time.

euphronius posted:I had this awesome stereo in college I had a Sanyo version of this type of stereo with a 3 disc changer (and dual tape decks, "surround sound" and a digital radio tuner). It really sounded excellent. I used it as speakers for my Xbox for the longest time after the cd player went out.

My iphone battery solution was to go to monoprice.com and buy a poo poo load of their iphone charging cables and a couple car chargers (I spent about 20 bucks which would have bought me about one non-apple branded charger at a store). During an average work day my phone keeps its charge with no problem, but if I forget to charge it or use it heavily I've got a cable to connect to a computer/car cigarette lighter just in case.

I used to have one of these. I kind of wish I had one now. I could tape my protocols to the wall (I take notes when I notice something mid experiment or more likely gently caress something up) and have excess counter space.

Acting like a keyboard rather than spitting out a text file is so cool. How big was the character limit?

I learned how to type in keyboarding class, but I learned how to type fast on ICQ ("UH OH!" A cash register at a local gas station uses that sound for something and it cracks me up).

Hypnolobster posted:Hah! My local gas station uses that sound too (uh, do you live in NE Ohio?), and I use it for my text alert sound. I'm in central AR. The chain that had the ICQ cash register was called Doublebee's. I haven't been in awhile since they stopped being open at really early hours. When I was in college in the early 2000's, we used scantrons like they were going out of style. They made us buy them at the campus bookstore or convenience stores rather than providing them.

I wonder if anyone has made the correct answers to a test come out as a design. Young me would have been freaked out if a perfectly answered two column scantron looked like a Christmas tree or a person with a big butt or something.

This is cool. I wonder if they just get all of the erased answer data for the district and do a Grubb's outlier test or something?

I've been in school forever (I'm 31 years old). When I was in the class part of grad school a few years ago, it was the first time I ever saw someone take notes with a laptop(/gently caress off online during class). I guess I never moved past writing on PowerPoint printouts (which was way better than traditional note taking).
