    Firing Google

    Can't have your cake and eat it, too. If you want a Google phone, you're gonna have to deal with Google. If you want an Apple phone, you're gonna have to deal with Apple. If you want a Microsoft phone, you're gonna have to deal with Microsoft. It's really that simple. You can't be truly...

    Not for everybody but.....

    I really don't think I need to actually type out Leviticus 19:28, do I? :rolleyes: It's simple, plain, straightforward and unambiguous. And every justification used to get around Leviticus 19:28 falls short. Every one of them, because they're all logical fallacies.

    6 V versus 12 V House batteries

    Nope. If space dimensions is the primary concern, sometimes 12-volts is the only option. The whole point of 6-volt batteries is to put three larger 2-volt cells into the roughly the same space as six cells, so that you can have larger AH capacities without needing a crane to move the batteries...

    Firing Google

    Settings, Accounts, remove account. But honestly, using an Android phone without Google like trying to use Windows on a laptop without actually using Windows, or using a Mac without using anything Apple. The OS may be called Android, but it's a Google phone. The Google Marketplace is gonna be...

    Question for Chefs

    Balsamics and batteries, that's me. I'm a balsamic aficionado.

    Firing Google

    Basically, don't log in to any of Google's services when you use them. If you aren't logged in they won't track you.

    6 V versus 12 V House batteries

    Never saw the thread, actually. :) OK, a couple of 12-volts versus a couple of 6-volts, the common dilemma. Seems like a couple of 12-volts gets you the same, or more bang. But it's just the opposite. And it's because, primarily, of the amount of lead per 12-volts, and the lead's configuration...

    Truck tv

    I've got a rather cheap Sanyo 19" flatscreen (Sanyo DP19648) HD TV. I think it was about $150 or $200 at Walmart. It's been in the van for two years.

    Any idea what could cause this?

    Clearly, you need to go to a doctor. Blood in the urine is actually a pretty common problem. It could be the onset of diabetes (the dizzy part), kidney stones, bladder cancer, or prostate cancer (or an enlarged prostate which is common in older men), a urinary tract infection. Or more than one...

    Next thing you know you'll be video conferencing with the Webcam or the iPhone.

    First and Espar, then an iPhone, now a Blue Parrot. I just don't know. I just don't know.

    Online backup

    First, be wary of any product that starts out with "MyPC". Second, MyPC Backup has less-than stellar reviews by independent reviewers. Most call it a scam, actually. Read the first few user-reviews here here if you have any questions. :D Sorry for leaving out the link of the comparisons in...

    Secret Service Investigating Photo ....

    Again, what if the Secret Service dismissed them as a bunch of kids acting silly, and fails to investigate it, and then a few weeks from now one of these kids shoots the president? You'd be all over them for failing to investigate it in the first place, and likely blaming Obama for the failure.

    Read the instructions carefully, and take heart what they say. ;)

    Question for Chefs

    No one would put vinegar on ice cream. That would be silly. The confusion comes from people who think balsamic vinegar is vinegar, and you would want to put balsamic vinegar on ice cream, especially strawberry or vanilla ice cream. But, there is more than one kind of balsamic vinegar. For ice...

    Secret Service Investigating Photo ....

    I never said their only job is personal protection. Did you not read what I wrote? Here, I'll type slower... Their entire job relating to personal protection is literally defined by 'what ifs'. I mentioned nothing about their job in relation to anything else. I only mentioned their job as it...

    I wasn't aware that the Secret Service investigated child abuse. Do they?

    Online backup

    I don't, but I do use an external hard drive for backup, and whenever I'm home I have stuff backed up to a flash memory stick that I leave at home. I don't use online backups because of the capped bandwidth on the aircard, with one exception: I have an e-mail server in Norway that I use for...

    Correct, since the thread isn't about a child, it's about a shirt.

    Uhm, the Secret Service. Their entire job relating to personal protection is literally defined by 'what ifs'. Everything they do is based on a long list of 'what ifs'. That's their job.
