[09:46] D3V: the phone itself is sweet as hell, just tmobile is gay about their coverage plans, they're basically implementing a new cost for something that was free on the older model phones.

[11:07] HandOfHeaven: Did you see the flagrant on James? That was brutal

[11:08] System: Thanatos has joined the chat

[11:08] Thanatos: heh yeah

[11:09] Thanatos: i dont think it was worthy of an ejection but it was uncalled for

[11:09] HandOfHeaven: http://youtube.com/watch?v=m827UUOsN7Y

[11:09] HandOfHeaven: Yeah, it wasn't worth an ejection, but it was nasty

[11:09] HandOfHeaven: I'm waiting for someone to try to injure Kobe

[11:11] HandOfHeaven: Suns and Spurs tonite at 830

[11:12] Thanatos: oh snapz

[11:12] Thanatos: I'm all over that game

[11:12] HandOfHeaven: Yeah, I'm excited

[11:13] Thanatos: http://youtube.com/watch?v=KmBMg09wG2c&feature=related

[11:13] Thanatos: same game

[11:14] Thanatos: game 3 is going to be insane

[11:14] Thanatos: these teams absolutely HATE each other

[11:16] HandOfHeaven: yeah, and the Cavs are way better

[11:16] Thanatos: *LeBron James is way better

[11:16] Thanatos: lol

[11:17] HandOfHeaven: ha, yeah

[11:17] HandOfHeaven: Get Kobe Lebron and Odom on the same team

[11:17] HandOfHeaven: with Paul Pierce and KG

[11:18] Thanatos: US olympic b-ball team is going to murder everyone

[11:18] Thanatos: im excited for that this year

[11:19] HandOfHeaven: it'll be good

[11:19] HandOfHeaven: I wonder if Wade is going to be 100%

[11:20] Thanatos: fuck Wade

[11:20] Thanatos: he's not even the best SG available

[11:20] HandOfHeaven: meh

[11:20] HandOfHeaven: I guess he's never been the same since his shoulder injury

[11:21] Thanatos: he's a mix between SG/PG and there are better players out there that excel better at each position

[11:21] Thanatos: Chris paul = PG. Kobe = SG

[11:22] HandOfHeaven: Kobe > All

[11:22] HandOfHeaven: Cavs and Lakers in the Finals would be bomb

[11:24] Thanatos: I want Celtics/Suns

[11:24] Thanatos: but the ultimate finals would be Celtics/Lakers. re-live the best rivalry in the history of the NBA

[11:26] HandOfHeaven: Yeah

[11:27] HandOfHeaven: I don't want the Celtics to win though

[11:27] HandOfHeaven: West Side!

[11:34] D3V: !

[11:34] D3V: Fuck the lakers

[11:34] HandOfHeaven: not Johnson though

[11:34] HandOfHeaven: he's the shit

[11:34] D3V: actually I take that back, I like the lakers.

[12:12] D3V: so where's this flame thread, thanatos?

[12:13] HandOfHeaven: Your funny, D3V?

[12:18] System: D3V has joined the chat

[12:18] D3V: yeah, my coworkers crack me up.

[12:20] HandOfHeaven: go on....

[12:20] D3V: I was going to put it in that thread.

[12:21] HandOfHeaven: oic

[12:24] D3V: idk, basically I guess you could call her cowoker #2 had JUST lent out her badge to another coworker that has been having problems with hers, and not five minutes later she's like, DEVIN, devin, devin did you take my badge? Did I set it down? wtf?? she was going through all her drawers on her desk, looking under papers, and i'm just like .. ...... you JUST loaned it out didn't you? ....

[12:24] D3V: she paused for a good 15 seconds, OH YEAH

[12:25] HandOfHeaven: ha

[12:25] HandOfHeaven: that's like someone looking for their phone when they are on it talking to someone

[12:26] D3V: yeah, or sungalsses on the head, (which I've done)

[12:26] D3V: idk, we all cracked up about it here.

[12:26] D3V: brb

[12:27] System: D3V has left the chat

[12:27] WetWired: My wireless headphones are so light and comfortable that once I found I was already wearing them after looking for them o_0

[12:27] WetWired: Such things happen

[12:27] WetWired: It's the frequency at which they happen that should cause concern

[12:29] System: Chruser has joined the chat

[12:29] Chruser: WW, up to what range do they maintain their efficacy of sound?

[12:29] HandOfHeaven: It's a fun laugh

[12:30] WetWired: Any range with reception. They're Bluetooth

[12:31] WetWired: The problem is that stereo audio reception in general is pretty bad for them for some reason

[12:31] WetWired: I can be a yard away and have it cut in and out

[12:31] WetWired: Of course, I live in an apartment complex and my 802.11g cuts in and out too, so I'll blame interferance

[12:32] WetWired: Using them with my phone, though, I don't have any problems

[12:32] Chruser: I've only used RF headphones in the past, which maintained a more or less constant noise at any range.

[12:33] HandOfHeaven: Adios fellas. Racquetball time

[12:33] Chruser: Interesting. How many active wi-fi connections do you have in your apartment?

[12:33] WetWired: At least 8 at times

[12:33] System: HandOfHeaven has left the chat

[12:33] Chruser: (Within range for an omnidirectional antenna built into a laptop or so)

[12:34] Chruser: of*

[12:34] WetWired: Can't wait for them to release a 5GHz N PCI card and be done with it forever

[12:34] WetWired: I already have an N router, was hoping that the MIMO alone would help my problem. Not so much.

[12:35] Chruser: Simultaneous ones based on one single position, or the subtotal after doing in-apartment wardriving?

[12:35] WetWired: In one place

[12:36] Chruser: That's roughly the same as one place where I live at times. I haven't experienced any significant interference as a result from it.

[12:36] WetWired: My router is across the apartment from me, with several walls in between

[12:36] Chruser: N routers seem nice. The Swedish government should allow wimax already.

[12:37] Chruser: Sounds bad.

[12:37] Chruser: I created a 4-feet makeshift cardboard tower for my linksys router, running tomato for client mode.

[12:39] Chruser: It barely manages to connect to the university (circa 150 yards away) with its built-in antenna. I'm not sure about the exact positioning of their sources of singals, but it's sensitive enough to be completely interrupted if I move the wireless router .3 inches.

[12:40] WetWired: Didn't you buy an antenna?

[12:41] Chruser: I couldn't bring it to Umeå. I have a cantenna and a 24 dBi parabolic grid antenna.

[12:42] Chruser: http://www.wlanmall.com/images/items/26T-2400.jpg

[12:42] Chruser: I need to find a scale picture.

[12:44] Chruser: If I could fit aluminium foil on it without significant surface abrasions, its gain would likely increase to >30 dBi, but it seems like too large of a project.

[12:45] Chruser: I found a 37 dBi dish on eBay for $600, but it would have cost over $1300 to have it shipped as freight cargo to Sweden.

[12:45] WetWired: Actually, antennas like that are meant to be open;covering it probably wouldn't improve it, much if at all

[12:47] Chruser: Is its derivation from a round, parabolic shape that significant? Increasing the surface area of a conventional parabolic shape antenna which consists of a mesh grid would improve its gain.

[12:48] Chruser: (E.g. by applying an even surface of aluminium foil)

[12:52] Chruser: The Swedish radiation protection authority does not specify legal limits for antenna gain, but pointning a 37 dBi antenna in the path of others would likely make them unhappy.

[12:54] Chruser: "Gentlemen, a powerful EM signal cone is in our vicinity. Deploy your antennas and triangulate its source."
