There is a lot of them, actually. At least 3 or 4 specifically for the Denver RTD system.

I have found it doesn't always work correctly. Here in Denver, it can't figure out weekend schedules for the light rail, and if I'm downtown at night it tells me my last train is at like 9pm when in reality they run until about 2am.

I dunno, I tend to hold my phone closer than 18" to my face for some tasks, mostly because I don't have 20/20 vision anymore and refuse to get glasses (yet).

"Waves of a massive medium itself, such as water waves or sound waves, are usually not considered to be forms of "radiation" in this sense."

carers => caregivers?

Yes. In fact I'm fairly certain that $8 figure is probably mostly accurate. This is the way of the world... You charge what people are willing to pay.

The way an incandescent bulb fails is that the filament gradually eats away at itself as the bulb ages. The heating and cooling cycles when turning on and off are unavoidable because, well, that's how they turn on and off. While you could use a dimmer to gradually turn on your lights all the time, it will still eat…

CFL bulbs are lousy in outdoor fixtures, because they're not typically rated for cold weather (unless you specifically buy cold-weather ones). They burn out way quicker, even if you leave them on constantly.

That's just unfair.

Yeah, I know but you get my point. There are situations where you just need more ground clearance. Snow tires will not get you through all situations.

Why does that mean they can't give them both snark?

Artificial? Sure, but I'd pay another $100 for that same calculator in an instant. I mean, over 12 years that's $8 a year for something I use everyday.

Those desktop calculators aren't exactly in the 99c bin. Not one that'll last, anyway.

Built to last and do its job. My TI-86 is about 12 years old, still works perfectly. I use it daily at work. The fact that all the buttons still work after that time is justification of the price on its own.

This is mostly true, except in cases where ground clearance makes the difference. It doesn't matter what kind of tires you have if you're in a car sitting 6" off the ground trying to get up a road with 18" of snow on it.

A lot of places suggest running it empty with vinegar. I tried this with my dishwasher, and it didn't really do anything. On a whim, I tried putting a little vinegar in with the detergent and the dishes, to see if it would help. Lo and behold, it totally worked great and now I just use a bit of vinegar along with the…

What came to mind when I read #3:

Yeah, I get that they wanted to get into the market, but the product itself is just not that compelling. It's a smaller ipad 2, which is a fine device, but I feel like they could have waited until next year when they can stuff a better screen and processor into the 7 inch form factor.

Yeah, that too.. for me I have capped data on my phone, so tethering would eat into it. I do tether sometimes, but the standalone data is nice. No worries about using the phone's battery, for one.

Signing a contract for a tablet just doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. I guess if you're a road warrior type who absolutely needs the larger screen for business or something, maybe, but otherwise no. I love having the option to buy a month here and there on my 3G iPad, and I love it precisely because I can just buy…
