Valentine's Day 2011

Ah... the day that geeks fear and dread is coming up... so which one of you XDAers have prepared for Valentine's this year?
As for me and mine, we have already exchanged gifts ahead of time (she's going back to China on the 14th)

After six years it's really hard to come up with something nice... -.-

This is our fifth Valentine's Day. This is the second time I hand-made something for her...

That's nice... last year I made a song for her (I'm producing some underground music, btw)

Haha.
Any spelunking on that night?

Its our 11th anniversary on the 15th so there`s nothing left to get, I`ll have to make a trip to Tesco`s, I really know how to spoil it, I mean her..
As for anything planned, jaysus, I`ll probably end up having a choke with me yolk a few times and then get her to have a go, then sleepy time........looking forward to the 12th!!!!!?????

Just a commercial strategy to take out more money from your pockets...
If you love her/him make Feb. 14 everyday!

Yeah... that's why my gift was hand-made... she got me a (gasp!) Domo-kun. I was wondering WTF? all the way to my office (we met up for lunch today)

we are sooo lucky u put an anonymous vote

Well, I'm actually not that far in the relationship with this girl but if I was I would let her decide what we should do during the day (shopping or whatever she wants to do). At the evening I would prepare a delicious homemade dinner with starter and dessert, give her a massage and probably suffer through a romantic movie (I would concentrate more on the cuddling with her than the story though)
I would probably also give her some jewelry at the dinner if I could afford it but... I'm a student ^^

We don't do Valentine's day.. because we are cheap like that

Most people here including me

we need moar of this in o-t

Flowers, nice dinner, movie, and some random inside joke type presents. Nothing super original, but definitely did the trick

From my estimates, the "geek" subspecies of humanity will be extinct by 2060-ish.
Only 2 are prepared for this event, while the rest are unprepared or even unaware of the existence of said event.
I haz sad...

I procrastinated, didn't get anything, just told her I'd take her to the book store. She was happy. She got me the BBC Planet Earth on blu ray.

I met a girl on the cruise ship I was on for the last 4 months. She's still there... looks like I'm off the hook? lololol

seems like i was the only one voted 'maybe' .
haha i wonder what would happen I still got 35 minz of V's day here.
spent almost half the weekend making some sort of valentine's day videos for youtube and actually 'failed to advertise' it cuz I dont have a girl
anyway Happy Valentine's Day

Just wondering, am I the only kid on here?

I've spoken to a 14yo chef on XDA. He has posted at least one ROM here. Remarkable really considering at that age i was probably putting away my Transformers in favour of playing with a Rubix Cube.
Goes to show that not all teens are worthless, looting scumbags. Most can actually contribute in a constructive manner. Welcome to OT, OP!

Yeah you aren't alone. Although you are the first 13 year old I encountered with a Captivate. More power to you mate.

Your generation has had the privileged of growing up with technology. At 4 years old, my son is finding his way to netflix and navigating around pbskids and neopets. He knows how to turn the volume up on my laptop and pull up paint. I didnt even teach him those things! He learned by himself. What ever happend to legos and building blocks?
Kids these days....

This is the truth if I ever heard it.
I'm only 23, and I grew up at the same time technology did. My family didn't have a computer until 2000.

Apocalypse!!

Are you ready for the apocalypse??
It is on the 21st December!If it won't happen, lots of babies on 20th September 2013, and you know it
How do you think is it going to happen?
Zombies
Flood
Earthquake
Internet virus
Bill Gates kills us all with the T-Virus
9GAG
Americans will eat healthy!
Storm
Nuclear explosion (FK I am 2 km away from one!!!)
My personal choice are zombies, I get girls, and also that would be really cool
I am waiting for more suggestions

I'd love to know how the last day of a calendar got turned into the apocalypse. I remember (smug time) reading about the Mayan calendar many, many years ago, and it was just a case of "This really long calendar is due to end in 2012. It's not a big deal, but only happens around every 3,500 years or so."
It's about as dumb as "The Rapture".

-.- the Mayans just never finished the damn calendar cause they were wiped out by the Mexicans.

The image below is the mayan calendar. It is a circle. Last time I looked at a circle, it's pretty continuous and never really ends. Did something change lately?

I tend not to be around people often. Are they bigger idiots than they were before?

We will be in-between the battle of heaven and hell.

I wonder when it actually will be 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds before the end of the world.

Called Google Play - Unreal!!!!!

I called Google Play store and after 45 mins on hold I got through. The guy checked my account and told me that everything looks OK on his end and he does not know why my order was not shipped yet. All I ordered was the Nexus 7, so not sure about the hold up. He said "thank you so much for being patient with us, and I understand the frustration but all pre-orders should be shipped out by wednesday this week. Please be patient and you will get a shipping notice." I asked him if he could somehow push my order through so it gets shipped, he said "no sorry, I can not do that on my end". So now it is just a waiting game. PATHETIC!
I also asked him if he has heard anyhting about pre-order customers getting some sort of a credit for the $20 shipping we paid on our playstore order, he said "that is for the Google upper levels to decide". Very helpful. PATHETIC!!!
City: Vancouver, BC, Canada
Date ordered: July 4th, 2012
Shipping: Nada
Arrival: Nada
Have not heard a thing from google since my order was put through.
Good luck to all of us waiting.

It's all caps level "pathetic" that a helldesk phone jokey isn't able to push your order past all the others that are backed up too? Seriously?

Thank you for creating you're own thread for a story we've read over and over. Hopefully things work out for you after Wednesday..seeing how many people have yet to get their pre-orders shipped and most won't recieve it a whole day before wednesday. But I took the time to read your rant. I'm not mad that you wanted to be heard...

Shout it out your window, instead of posting it on the forum and wasting other people's time.

Nothing ridiculous at all. It shpped mid-july like they said. And you agreed to paying shipping. If you're that upset cancel your order and wait longer.

Remember to put your clocks back this Sunday!!

For those of you who are on Daylight Savings Time anyway. (Feel free to put them back if you're not but don't blame me when you're late for everything).
I almost forgot again which could have led to some embarrassment. Personally i think DST is a ridiculous and pointless exercise which should be scrapped. Time is immutable. Stop screwing with it!
This has been a Public Service Broadcast brought to you by DirkGently.

What's DST??

Daylight Savings Time.
In America the clocks get adjusted to fit the seasonal change in daylight hours.
It's because some jobs are dependent upon hours of daylight, so instead of just waking up earlier, we go to all the trouble of changing our clocks by an hour twice a year.

Sent from my Baconator Over-9000

DST does not apply to most countries that are close to the equator, as the length of the day does not change much from Summer to Winter.
Singapore (Montoyatok's location) happens to be one of them, although DST did apply once.
P.S. If you are in the U.K., some banks shut their ATMs down over this period, (1 to 2 am, Sunday) to stop the transactions being screwed up by the time change. Progress!

Its daylight saving time not savings fyi

Also, Spring forward, Fall back. That's how I usually remember it.

There are a lot of people that want to stop doing it, me included. But then all of these parents start screaming "think of the children". They are afraid that their urchins will get run over if it is dark out when they are waiting for the school bus.

Boooo! I don't like it when it gets dark that early.. In december it gets dark at 15:30 (3:30 PM).

That's what happens when you live on a Gas Giant.

Actually, there are some energy benefits to DST. It allows us to consume less barrels of oil for energy with the clocks rolled forward. Now if we get greener energy sources in the US, then I'm all for scrapping it...

Showing my age here, but any Brits remember the experiment from 1968 to 1971 when the UK remained on British Summer Time all year?
In Northern England we went to school in the dark, in Scotland it was even worse, the dark lasted longer. We had to wear stupid PVC tabards with reflective panels front and back, that nearly made you pass out from the fumes from the plastic.
It ran for two years before they ditched the idea.

that sucks i work nights and work this weekend i better get paid for that extra hour
