    Lastly, I consider most things to be tools. Form follows function sort of guy. I'd be super Pissed if my hammer shattered the first time it encountered a nail.

    Ermm also, what I was trying to say is that I consider the state of the glass to be the deal breaker. If the glass is broken, I will not let my kids anywhere near it. The TF101 glass is 100% fine, not a chip or crack anywhere, the body is falling apart. My Nexus 6 OHO... My Nexus 5 gave a gallant effort but succumbed too early. The Droid models did pretty well, but that was before I had kids....

    I dunno about that. I have an aging TF101, that's beat the F* up but keeps running. I got it black friday, took it home to a wife and a 9mo (nearly 4 now) it's been with our youngest since birth (now nearly 2) the edge of the bezel no longer snaps in, the corners are so busted that the back plate doesn't fit properly. it is in a sorry looking state.

    The thing is, it just keeps working. combined with the sweet, sweet Katt Kiss project (Shout out Duru!) I dont think the thing will ever stop working. My Nexus 6 screen survived exactly one toddler drop (with case!) before shattering.

  10. Re: And we wonder why music is such crap these day on UK's Legalization of CD Ripping Is Unlawful, Court Rules · · Score: 1

    It's OK, before your elightening post, I wasn't aware that music of any sort had nutritional value. Seriously, as a poster mentioned earlier, I remember life pre internet. I was a HS student from 90-94. Sharing via cassette tapes/mix tapes was the way it was done back then. This was before, buying copyright laws became vogue. The movie industry had just gotten their collective asseÃY handed to them by the ruling regarding VHS and time shifting.

    If your seriously comparing shoplifting 1000 time vs copying your CD to mp3 and listening to it 100p your delusional.

    Just because you grew up in a generations where you've been brainwashed by the media doesn't make it right.

    OK, so I made up that on the spot, don't you know that 76.99341243465% od stats are fabricated or completely made up. I also note that no one has even attempted to dispute my claims in the original Anon post. Do you deny that they will shoot you, frame you, spy on you, confiscate your shit, deny you a judge/jury if they can? Because they do these things on a daily basis and get away with 99.9999999999999% of the time.

    100% correct, actually most of the time, the beer effect is applicable to off-the-ice fist fights as well.

    I've never understood this whole fighting is 100% bad mentality. We are animals, the product of evolution. We have plenty of traits still with us that meant the difference between life and death on the Savannah's. For some reason, some people think that these traits (such as aggression) are legacy things that are not needed any more. I'd argue that many of these traits are not only needed, but just as important as ever.

    I also, think in these days of "think of the children, can't we just hug our problems away, lets form a circle and sing Kumbaya" we simply do not get a chance to properly (practice/hone) these skills/traits and sports creates an artifical environment where we can exercise these traits.

    I'm not saying that there are cases where people have REAL issues with aggression, but I'm definitely NOT on the contact sports are evil camp.

    You don't like contact sports? Don't play them, but also don't try to force your opinion down everyone's throats. There's all sorts of activities/choices that are proven to cause harm to the body and mind, sitting on your ass in your mom's basement all day, with the only social face-to-face contact you've had with a living human, other than your mom, was six months ago, is probably the worst of them.
