[19:00:54] *** Limp_Trizkit has quit IRC
[19:14:16] <_switchcat_> I can get z1s for about $10, I wonder if it would be worth it to get a z1 also... I've been on a spending spree lately hum
[19:16:56] *** Limp_Trizkit has joined #zipit
[19:37:29] <echelon> _switchcat_: i got mine for $8
[19:37:34] <echelon> you probably still can
[19:37:45] <echelon> _switchcat_: i mean the z2
[19:38:09] <echelon> just sign up for the amazon credit card.. it showed -30 on the statement :)
[19:57:54] <_switchcat_> echelon - no, you didn't.. you sold your soul to a credit card company for $30
[19:58:45] <_switchcat_> I want to get z1s so I can either 1) give one or more of them away and 2) popularize such a cheap device in my local market, as well as in the greater linux & tech hacking community
[20:02:14] <_switchcat_> anyways I didn't buy it on amazon.com I bought mine on ebay
[20:04:29] <_switchcat_> I'm just concerned that a non-backlit non-color z1 wouldn't be used as much as a z2
[20:06:00] <_switchcat_> my sister just gave me an old PDA too... but it doesn't have wifi. :(
[20:13:45] <echelon> back :)
[20:14:08] <echelon> bleh.. never had an interested in pda's
[20:35:30] <_switchcat_> I have an interest in anything that is going to help me compute from remote locations for extended periods of time without significant power drains
[20:53:55] <echelon> same
[20:54:25] <echelon> the z2 would be perfect for a remote detonator
[20:54:54] <echelon> err.. detonator receiver.. whatever they call it
[20:58:57] <_switchcat_> says the guy named echelon as he triggers echelon to pay closer attention to this channel. :P
[20:59:44] <echelon> ^_^
[20:59:47] <_switchcat_> I think a pay-as-you-go cellphone is much more reliable
[21:00:01] <echelon> yeah
[21:00:12] <_switchcat_> wifi is too unpredictable
[21:01:28] <echelon> just needs the right software to keep the card associated with the AP
[21:01:30] <_switchcat_> you can walk into many stores and get a $30 pay-as-you-go cellphone that comes with $30 of free minutes
[21:02:19] <_switchcat_> so a pay-as-you-go-cellphone is even a cheaper option for the purpose you bring up
[21:02:46] *** asantoni has joined #zipit
[21:03:06] <echelon> what're the chances that the store doesn't have video cameras?
[21:03:42] <_switchcat_> well you can ask the same thing for buying _anything_
[21:05:01] <echelon> they can triangulate the last call in that area
[21:04:31] <_switchcat_> but lets face it.. when the video cameras of banks and convenience stores/gas stations don't make it easy to identify hold up guys, I seriously doubt that the security cameras of generic stores are going to be any better.. and they're certainly not going to be paranoid about that guy wearing the hat and the sunglasses like a bank might be
