FreshPrince,

Dude, you're beat. Just capitulate and go on with your life.

Size is measured by volume. It's this way with everything from cars, to houses, to washing machines, to refrigerators.

And no, I don't own an iPod nor am I an Apple fan... I just know when someone is owned. And right now you've not only been owned, you continue to own yourself.

no, size is measure by dimension. why? because we want to know if it will actually FIT into something. wider cars - can't fit into a narrow garrage. a wide ranch house can't fit into a smaller space that a narrow 2 story house can. taller regridgerators can't fit into shorter spaces, but it may be thinner in depth and smaller in volume. That is how everything that has to do with size works. volume means nothing, how the product fits into everyday use is key.

I accept that the shuffle will fit much more comfortably in jeans, but it's still not smaller when you want to store it somewhere.

I have not been owned.


<billymadison>Mr. FreshPrice, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.</billymadison>

yes, I'm the moron based on total volume.

Let's say you move into a new house and this weekend your wife charges you with purchasing a new fridge. you measure the dimensions of the "volume" space where you want to put it. It is 3' wide, 5' tall, and 3' deep. So based on your "logic", you say I need to get a fridge that is less than 45' cubic. Now, you go to the store and measure a fridge that is 3' wide, 6' tall, and 2' deep which equals 36' cubic and you immediately buy it because it is smaller than 45' cubic. the store delivers it and your wife kicks your ass because the new fridge is obviously too tall. your answer will be "but but but, it has a smaller volume, therefore it's smaller?" You also point her to this thread and proceed to "own" her and tell her that she's wrong, the new fridge is "smaller" than the space and it should fit. right?

wrong! I'm not owned.

Way to compare apples to refridgerators :roll: but on that point...

You point proves this one as well. Your pocket is not shaped like a cube, it is flat. Therefore you'd rather have a flat player like the dimensions of the shuffle rather than a bulky cube.

Gonna work out? Let me strap this stupid cube to my arm. :roll:

ok stop, did I say the new shuffle is shaped badly for workouts? no, in fact, I said I may get one. yes, I get it fits better in a pocket, but in my view, it's still not the smallest because it doesn't fit everywhere. in order to be the smallest, in my mind, it would have to be able to fit into anywhere the 2nd smallest player can and even smaller spaces. That in my definition, is the smallest.

will the cube fit in a 2"x1.5"x.5" box?

nope

will the shuffle

yep

the cube will not fit anywhere the ipod can fit therefore by your own definition than the cube is not smaller

Hahahahahaha, this thread is comedy gold!

Just think of it like this, Fresh Prince. Do you like you Credit Cards to be long and thin? I do. I think they'd suck swollen Donkey Wang if they were shorter, yet 0.5in thick.

And then we come to your idea of space. I think we need a pic of your desk or your accomodation. Who here has trouble finding space to plonk down a 2G shuffle? Did you see the news item, scan your desk and cry, 'WTF! The smallest area of spare desk space is only 1 inch by 1 inch! Fvck! I'll have to get a mobiBLU now, as they are smaller.'?

You're a Moran.

new shuffle

1.62" !< 0.94"

A - Always
P - Pure
P - Public
L - Lies
E - 2 the Extreme

:laugh:

Your equating length to total size.... Try again.

So I guess this brings up the old question... Which is more important, Length or Girth? Time for the women to chime in here...

I'm no woman, but i'm willing to bet they'd rather have a 6" sausage than a 12" noodle.

You have an empty 3' x 3' box. Would it hold more Apple iPod Shuffle's (1.67" x 1.04" x .41") or MobilBLU cubes (.94" x .94" x .94")?

Trick question, this isn't a box!

Hahah.. OK, I meant a 3' x 3' x 3' box. Better? :D

yes, I'm the moran for thinking smaller is smaller and for you bigger is smaller?

right I'm the moran... :roll:

as for your cc argument, tell that to the people who created paypass....

The mobiBLU can't fit anywhere the second smallest player [Shuffle] can and even smaller spaces.


Small/est

1. of limited size; of comparatively restricted dimensions; not big; little: a small box.
2. slender, thin, or narrow: a small waist.



Size

1. the spatial dimensions, proportions, magnitude, or bulk of anything: the size of a farm; the size of the fish you caught.


Dimension/s

2a. measurement in length, width, and thickness [volume].

Shuffle: .41'' x 1.07'' x 1.62''
mobiBlu: .94'' x .94'' x .94''

I admit that a Shuffle cannot fit into a 1'' x 1'' x 1'' space, but by the same token, a mobiBlu cannot fit into (say) a .5'' x 2'' x 2'' space, which the Shuffle can easily fit into. It just depends on which way you want to look at it.

Shuffle is smaller by volume, and a mobiBlue is smaller by surface area.

(I believe this post is impenetrable to disagreement)

I met this girl in a bar the other day and she gave me her number. OK, she didn't "give" it to me in the typical sense of the word, I took her phone from her bag and called myself to get the number. Anyways, 3 days later I called and she had no idea who I was! I was only staring at her for hours in the bar and hanging out by her apartment all of last night- how coudl she not remember me???

So, should I call her again or just send her a pig's heart?

I never said that I like "flat" butts... I like them round but not too big.

Well, I am suprised no one has done this yet, so I will.

Volume = Size

After all, you don't see car companies claiming they have the biggest engine when they only have the largest bore or stroke.

Your conditional BS was rebuked by the plywood post. After all, if size is not determined by volume, rather by an arbitrary dimension determined by the blathering idiot spewing it, then who says the one who gets to make that dimension?

That is why mathematics is here, to prevent stupid people from infecting the rest of the world...

With that argument you could argue that the shuffle fits better in your pocket then the cube, which is where the two mp3's are ultimately going to rest.
