The Official DF Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release Thread

Sooo bored at work. Someone entertain me.

Nope, I'm an engineer... less BS and more analytical thinking than Politics.

Saying that the Dec. 15th is false because the 9th was false is like saying there will be an Earthquake on Friday because there was an Earthquake last Friday... there is a no correlation between the two events. Now if there was an earthquake every friday for the last 3 months, it would be a safe assumption that there would be one this friday, but only once have stores received any devices and started leaking out info about a release date which then fell a part. There is zero indication that a pattern has developed and therefore there is no reason to speculate that the Dec 15th date is false beyond permission and just being plain ole grumpy.

Which is more crazy, for someone to believe that it will come out on Thursday because it is what we are being told or to believe that it won't come out Thursday because it happened once before and one has a "feeling"?

Ahh, a fellow engineer. Gotta love logic. Though it drives my wife crazy throwing out logic in the face of her irrationality.

And the massive doses of sarcasm might also play a small role in driving her crazy, not sure though. :happy3:

Lol nope. Just one of those times I wasn't thinking and threw in a question mark that didn't belong haha

Haha, Messin with my head. 0.o not right.

Sup Dude, haven't seen you in two days. Did you make an intro thread yet at the new members area? And yes, every now and then debate comes up with a snow bird from northeast.

Ha, I'm too young to be a snowbird , and broke...I wish I could afford to spend the winter down south. Beats shoveling snow.

Just got a fresh case of Yuengling Premium. This could turn out to be a stellar weekend. Wish there was a UFC on to top it off. Oh well, I guess I'll just settle for a Nexus...

Well called Verizon, they confirmed that it'll likely be the 15th. But we all knew that already. I called to tell them if it is, reserve one for me at 11:30am. So, hopefully this all goes according to plan. If It doesn't come out until January, I'm not even bothering. But I doubt that rumors true.

I concur with this. Lol, women are usually irrational and hold their emotions in an arguemnt but remember specifics which is a good tool against us because mean while men remember the gist of things and are more logically sensed but the fact we can remember specifics hurts us. "I can't believe you said this to me when we were argueing two months ago, it hurt my feelings" .... "I can't say I remember saying that, was that when you told me not to leave the toilet seat up?" This is generally that is, not true in everyone. Haha.

And I maintain that just because it isn't true now does not mean that it wasn't true when the were saying it... things can change... all we can do is go off the most recent information, which at this point says it is the 15th...

Yeah, your a Politican... and a long winded one, too.

Don't take this wrong I'm not denying your report, or anyone elses. I don't know who you guys are talking to, but I've called twice to two different places and even chatted it up on vzw.com and its like this phone doesn't exist, even threatening to move to another carrier, and got no response. I thought if it was only a few days out they would give me some sort of clue that I should stick around but...nope. The chat rep told me "The manufacturer hasn't released any info on this device" not sure what that means..?

Aren't toilet seats supposed to be up? I actually modified one with a small hydraulic to lift it up. You had to push it down to sit on it and then it automatically lifted when you stood up. It was joke to harass all the women in my office, but since I'm the only guy, it didn't last long.

I don't know what shoveling snow is like (never even been in snow before) but I can say its probably better then being here at wintertime. To many bad drivers come down... its like I'm on guard all the time starting around august because snow birds go slow, cut you off while being slow, tailgate, run red lights, and usually don't check blind spots. Today in 5 lanes, we were in the rain and their was only 1 car to be seen. Wisconson im calling it. I was in fast lane and wisconson wide open spaces had 4 good free lanes but STILL got cut off. I was in hov lane. Grrrr... waves my fist. sorry, letting off some snow bird steam.
