Throw in the cost of a small submersible pump (400GPH) and some drip tubing, then you can build an aeroponic system that will far out-perform this. You'll get a much faster rate of growth, maximizing yield while using the same floor space.

The number one source of hidden fees in the US is the IRS. If you think a sales tax is the only tax applied to a purchase, think again. If you believe you live in a state with no sales tax, you're mistaken.

@Kevin Purdy: Yeah, I remember fighting for invites. I made it into round 2 of their initial public invites (3 days prior to launch). I waited 5 days just to get the invite. People were using it for 2 days and posting all kinds of cool previews before I could even get a peek at it. It drove me crazy.
@TheFu: Well, I'd say you were right on point with privacy, but you're arguing it to the wrong end.
@TheFu: The beta thing isn't meant to be taken seriously. They keep it in beta as their way of saying they'll never be done improving it.
@Brad: Currently, Blu-Ray costs much more to produce, and people are adopting the technology much slower than the industry thought. Most rental companies would simply build in an across-the-board rate hike to subsidize the additional cost. Instead, Netflix went with the ethical option and makes blu-ray viewers pick…
@infmom: I just installed a commercial (restaurant) grade water filter under my kitchen sink. It costs about $100, but unlike charcoal filters, they don't degrade with age, only usage. This is good for about 600,000 Gallons. The one filter will last me the rest of my life. Most restaurants change them every 5…
@Meetloaf13: Actually, it is common. People developing network apps have to deploy it on many machines at once for testing. It can become very costly to immediately purchase 50+ licenses to continue their product development. The prohibitive costs have been a deterrent to many small programming companies in the…
@Rolcol:
@MayaPosch: Is it actually compliant to the various standards, or is it compliant to Microsoft web standards which vary largely from the rest of the world? I've heard the same thing said with every release since IE4, but Microsoft actually competes with standards until their approach is recognized.
@aerick79: The IE process it's self may not be memory resident, but the core APIs it uses are. Thus starting a new instance of IE will always be a little faster than other browsers on windows. However, don't confuse inital application load time with overall speed. IE8 renders pages slower, runs java slower, and…
Did someone say DRM!?
@Jetpac: For the most part I would agree with you. However as a former resident of Arizona, I can say there are some exceptions. If your working out side in 120°F (49°C) weather for 8 hours at 0% humidity, drink all the milk you want and you'll still get heat exhaustion.
Half the salt, cut the salt substitute in favor of an equal amount of citric acid. Mix all dry ingredients in the bottle, then add ice cold water and close the lid quickly. Shake it and you'll have a carbonated beverage.
@holyspidoo: Good advice. My old 42" Trinitron TV consumes less power than my new "Energy Star Compliant, super power-saving" plasma of the same size.
@Gigs: If your pipes are PVC, a sprinkler timer in-line would do the same thing for about $15.00, and they're adjustable.
