Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Hey. New board.
ita !, today's woot.com deal is a refurbished 16GB Toshiba Thrive for 279.99.
I might buy one. I like them because they have lots of ports. Heavier than Tabs, etc, but hey, good price!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks for that heads up, Gris. I just had to replace my phone, so I don't know if I'll be jumping on this today. But it does seem appealling...

Hey. New board.
I decided against it, just because the customization scene seems really weak for the Thrive - doesn't look like CM9 will be available, for example. The Asus Transformer refurbished is available on newegg.com for $329.99 and may be a better bet.

Thanks again, Gris. I ended up getting one for my sister (more tech to configure, why do I do this?), and then one of her friends wanted me to get one for her too. Android, booyah! They don't need rooting or custom ROMs.

What case do you have for your Thrive, dcp?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I chose this one: [link]
The Thrive is bulky enough already, so I was looking for the thinnest case I could find. My only complaint was that there's no catch to hold the cover closed. I fixed that with a couple of small pieces of Velcro.

Thanks. I'll pass that on to my sister.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
So, technical question (possibly a stupid one) for the hivemind:
my super lockdown work IT folks (who will not even allow you to access the website for gmail on the network) are talking about allowing people to use personal devices on the wireless network (currently, you have to take your device to IT to have them configure it, and they will only do it with company devices). If they open up the wireless network, will they be able to monitor the devices on it, i.e. if I'm on their wireless network with my iPad, can they, for example, access my password for gmail or track the websites I visit? Would it make a difference if they had to configure my device in some way?
