I guess im first. lol

[munky261]

well , so far as i can tell , im the first person to have an N810 stolen.

[technut]

Noooooo..... sorry to hear that.

[linuxrebel]

Saddest part is that the fool who stole it is trying right now to insert a sim card........ *sigh* ... my condolences for sure.

[evanjfraser]

Ack, that truly sucks!

Are you getting another one?

[NokNok770]

Hey I just found an n810, how do I put a sim card in it to use....



j/kguy....sorry for your loss.

[munky261]

yeah im going to get another one when i can afford it , thing thats embarassing is that the woman who bought it for me as a present is the one that took it... woke up yesterday and she had taken it and my cell phone (which she also bought me as a gift)...not sure why as we didnt have an argument or anything... kind of embarassing i guess

[munky261]

oh i wouldnt have to worry about her trying to put a sim card in it , shes so dense she thinks to "reboot" means to change ones shoes. lol

[technut]

Oh. Well then the greater loss is actually the loss of a woman willing to lavish such nice gifts on you. You can buy another N810, but where are you going to find another sugar-momma?

[munky261]

very true my friend...lol its such hard work balancing being a geek and a gigolo. lol lol

[loaderr]

She probably found out what cool gadget it was and took it back, dont worry it happens! sorry for your lost :(

[Hedgecore]

If you're in the U.S... LITIGATE! You all know that! ;)

[haokah]

Sorry for your loss, this brings up an idea though.
I'm still new to linux, but it seems powerful.

Would it be possible to have a job run when connecting to the internet?
Maybe have an email sent to a predefined address with ip, date, time, and gps data if a connection is made outside your network you've defined as home.

[Jeffgrado]

haokah, that's a good idea. You see all those Apple laptops being recovered because it automatically uploaded some pics and info on the theif!

[munky261]

that is a damn good idea , someone should seriously look into doing that

[Capt'n Corrupt]

that is a damn good idea , someone should seriously look into doing that

Seriously. A password protected app, that automatically polls a server every three hours for a status you've set. If the status is 'missing' and the device is online, then it sends an email to notify you that the device is online, and automatically and silently updates device coordinates on the same server every 5 minutes. You can use the server's website to track it silently without the thief knowing.

It would also be great if you could also set off an alarm (maximum volume) and password-lock the screen when you got close.

Now if only there was a way to make the impending confrontation easier :D

YARR!

How about driving a tank? LOL

[munky261]

well if it was a run of the mill thief and not an ex , id be knocking on his door with my 12 guage...

[ferjant]

guess what, this WOMAN just sent me a private IM. she's trying to sell the N810 for 50 bucks saying its from her ex and she needs the money to buy some weed. haha just kidding guys.
