@mwtort: If the only people who have to worry about searches are criminals, then why bother with a warrant system at all? What value does it serve if the only people who experience this are in your laundry list of evildoers?

@jupigare: Um... you've just said "Only criminals worry about warrantless searches." Obedient citizens should not worry about abuses of state power?

@Captain_Caveman: There are quite a few forts built by the US to keep out the Spanish, English, and Germans at various times. Florida is dotted with forts that range from the 1800s through WWII, and often were used for more than one conflict. For example, check out Fort Desoto in St Petersburg Florida.

@RaindropBebop: 77(f) is more than warm enough to grow healthy coconut palms and many other tropical plants. If the goal is to create a comfortable indoor water park with a tropical feel, they've nailed it at 77 degrees. The primary factor for keeping your tropical plants happy is keeping the temperature above…

@bens: Our legal system has set up a situation where we create incentives for citizen enforcement of the anti-spam laws. I think that's pretty cool. So this guy is taking advantage of the incentives and making a living doing it. In the process, the people who would send us all spam are learning the hard way that…

@Pook365: Real trees are also tended for the years it takes them to get to a profitable size. They are often pruned to get the right shape, weeded, sprayed with various chemicals, and fertilized. There is a huge myth about the cute little Christmas tree up on the hill hoping to be adopted. That thing is really a…

@Justin: One tree is manufactured from oil and steel, crafted and shipped long distances. The other tree is grown on a farm using oil and steel (pesticides, fertilizers, tractors, etc), cut down and shipped. Where do all the trees come from that are sold in the Southern and SouthWestern US? Not very close to where…

@marzer: I don't know California's laws with regard to equal opportunity employment, but in my state of Florida, is it perfectly legal to discriminate based on sexual orientation in most of the state. I do not believe gay and lesbian Americans are covered by EO laws in most areas of the country.

@Unknown2U: Yup. The Blackberries. I have one provided by my employer. AFAIK, it's the only GSM phone you can get from Verizon—a business phone at that.

The most compelling data is directly under the name of the phone in parens—the wireless network the device is locked to.

If you want ceiling mounted speakers and do not want to tear open your house to run the wires, this will give them to you. It should also make renters happy. Of course, you need can lights in your ceiling to take advantage of them.

Living in Florida, having a crank-powered weather radio is important. Having one that can charge my cell phone too is even more important as land-line phones are going the way of the dodo.

at $40K per bike, it not only has to go fast, it has to have an "ethos". Sheesh. #mavizenttx02
