Sparda Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Also, a day is slightly longer or slughtly shorter then 24 hours. It is quite rare that a day is exacly 24 hours long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jollyrancher82 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 A "day" is 24 hours. Last time I check a clock it went round the clock twice defining a day. But I do know what you're talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Doing stuff with a computer for hours on end can be very entertaining and fulfilling, but don't forget to make and keep friends. So even though you spend countless hours staring at the computer screen, do some non-computer stuff outside the house sometime during the week(end). You'll thank me for it later.

Computers are indeed great entertainment.. Countless things to do. And for most people (including me) it's also necessary to do something else.. And you should always keep all your friends at any time ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 You know, I find it interesting how uber-excessive use of computers can make you wanna get out of the house once every few months but then when you leave the house after a few hours you wish you'd never left... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armadaender Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I only manage to spend around 6 or so because of school. Most of my day is spend nose-deep in a textbook or listening to some old guy who claims to know more than anyone else in the world. During the summer however, I'm pushing around 14 or so hours. Screw sleep, I've got things to learn/ games to play/ ebooks to read/ forums to annoy people on . :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Currently I'm either out to a concert someplace, at work (which means behind a computer) or at home either watching some TV or messing around with my computer. Usually more of the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armadaender Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 24/7... I have crackberry functionality :-( The ability to read e-mail that is received in realtime, anywhere, has made the BlackBerry devices infamously addictive, earning them the nickname "CrackBerry". Rofl, never heard of that one before. The motorolla Q might replace that, friend of mine has one and it looks like I'm blowing my first new-job paycheck on one as well. Oh, I've got a new job. I'm now a Computer Lab Consultant. Which mean's I sit behind a desk on my laptop and if some dumbass blonde comes in and doesn't know how to print or use her flash drive, I get to assist.

I'd be assisting her wether she'd need it or not. :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be assisting her wether she'd need it or not. :twisted: Well, I'm not a fan of blondes. Personal experience. But if a black-haired beauty strolls in, she's going to be getting all the assistance she never asked for. Don't ever buy a phone where email is like text messaging! Nothing worse than being woken up by penis pill spam! What would you recomend then? Verizon supported and capable of running linux would be a plus.

Verizon supported and capable of running linux would be a plus. I have a treo thats set to get a few email accounts sent to it. Very useful but you can get to much email sometimes. Not quite sure why you'd want to run linux on your phone. Maybe a Treo 700p? Or a smartphone that runs windows? There kinda the best smart phone people atm.

Running linux would just be a neat thing, but not at all necessary. I've been looking at purchasing a smart phone because of my business venture and I need to be connected with my fellow investors through e-mail and the phone has to be able to read/write excel and word documents (for order forms and whatnot).

metatron Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I spend around 12 hours a day in front of a computer and I have a Nokia N93 which I can get my email and go on the net with 24/7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anyedie Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 man... does anyone else think that even 4 + hours might be a little excessive (unless your job legitmately involves computers)? but then again... i voted 4-6hrs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is. Just make sure you've got your priorities straight, so that when something worth while comes along you don't go bitch and moan about what other important stuff you still want to do with the computer. You can always do that stuff later in the day/night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
