The skin is always moist so there is always some effect.

There might be a bit of misunderstanding. I really should have said movement detection. I'm sorry for any confusion, my fault, I just realized the confusion. What I was actually meaning was the way on{x} distinguishes between walking, cycling and driving.

Thanks for the links, they saved me looking for stuff to back up what I said. Did you actually read what is on those pages or are you just ceding the debate?

No it's not, it's evaporation, especially with wind chill. Wind chill is only apparent to things that sweat. A lump of metal doesn't feel any colder in the wind but when you step out of the pool on a cool day you're freezing till you dry off. This is why we evolved the capability to sweat, to cool ourselves off. To…

Yeah I know but it's a hell of a lot easier in JavaScript.

The "in motion" detection capability in Microsoft's on{x} is 'best in class'. You can also set Tasker variables from on{x} so making a hybrid action gives you the best of both worlds - the superior programmability of Tasker with the excellent motion detection of on{x}. Set the variable in on{x}, use the result in…

For the more adventurous readers everything you can do in Tasker can be done with JavaScript in Tasker. You can create any number of functions which each do one simple thing and combine them in ways which are too complex in regular Tasker. Stupid example - if device is plugged in and time is between 7am and 703am set…

I prefer my collection of SpongeBob characters hanging from the chains.

Reading the responses it seems that SMS is still the "default" messaging app - the one everyone has; the one that is 100% reliable to receive your message. The rest you have to know or guess the recipient has the required app and that it is turned on - not always the case. Also you already know the person's number -…

Yes there's probably quite a lot of truth in what you say with the protocols etc., obviously the message would need to conform to SMS rules, but looking like an SMS doesn't make it one. If the recipient is also on a computer I would hazard a guess that being formatted as SMS is the only time that SMS is involved. SMS…

Not always. If you send a message from Google Voice on your computer it's not using SMS. It may complete its journey by SMS but you're not using it.

I still use SMS. I must admit I haven't really been aware of the existence of chat apps. On the face of it they would seem to have some disadvantages which apparently they do not possess. First I guess you and your respondent both have to be using the same chat app. Second, what is the advantage over using SMS? Third,…

And that's all you know? You overcharge.

And I can be first with this -

You might want to rethink your post because not only are you wrong but you just announced how dumb you are to everyone.

It's actually cooling you by evaporation of sweat but at least your post was sane. Lifehacker should do a flame war on whether fans actually do cool you. We know they do but it's helpful for us to know how other, less fortunate people think.

Well maybe I should have done a bit more research but I'm reading/writing from a cellphone and it's difficult woth basically one window/tab. You are right I don't dispute; some years ago they did operate out of only a few states. However, the central thrust of my point remains. They've changed their position because…

$1m gross will support probably 3-4 people at $25-$30k a year. It's not a lot. After you pay taxes, expenses, cost of raw materials etc. there's not a lot of room for profit. Add on 6-7% for sales tax and your margin has gone... or one of your workers has.

I've never had a spoon that held a smell after washing but can't you just throw it away/repurpose it and buy new? The biological warfare described above seems a bit OTT.
