    When I'm parked, the Bluetooth even on the Garmin works fine, but tooling down the road, people think I'm calling from the cоckpit of an old biplane or something. :D

    The mic on the iPhone earbuds don't work nearly as well for noise canceling as the Blue Parrot. You can get fuel right next to a big truck with its engine and refer running, and those you are talking to will never know you got out of the truck to get fuel at all. Sorry Scott. As for where to...

    VXi Corp :: BlueParrott Bluetooth Mobile :: The Expressway is the newer one, and can be worn over the head, behind the neck, or on the ear. Talk to Highway Star about on the ear. The older one, the B250-XT is over the head-only. It's the one I, RLENT and a bunch of other people have. The...

    money gouging!!!

    Yeah. It used to be (back in the early 50s) that the ration of Federal to State dollars was 50:50, then in the mid 50s that went up to 60:40. Then under Eisenhower's Interstate Construction Program, it moved to a 90:10 matching ration. (Out west, where there is less taxable public lands, it's...

    Paterno should be canned.

    Cite the case law then. The Civil Rights Act guarantees "full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations of any place of public accommodation, without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, color, religion, or national...

    Commercial Vans Survey

    Yep. Where it asks how you use it, rather than check "Delivery Service", put "Expedite Freight Delivery" or something like that in the "Other" field. :)

    I'm at the TA in Baltimore, MD. Delivered to GM Powertrain where they are doing so much construction that the Sprinter became an off-road mud duck vehicle at delivery. A recovery load, but it still absolutely, positively had to be there by 11AM yesterday, or the line was going to be shut...

    Paterno should be canned.

    "Their right to walk down the street, yes. The right for them to go into McDonald's and order a Big Mac absent the owner's or manager's objection, yes. But they don't have a right to be there over the manager's objection, nor do they have the right to be in AMonger's Deli and Bait Shop over...

    Paterno should be canned.

    That's what Ollie McClung thought, too, but the Supreme Court told him otherwise. You can only refuse service to someone on the grounds of a patron who detracts from the safety, welfare, and well-being of other patrons and the restaurant itself. You cannot refuse service just because of your...

    Paterno should be canned.

    Actually it does, if the accusers have any integrity and self-respect at all. It's the Golden Rule. The court of public opinion is tightly is controlled by the mainstream media who is more interested in ratings than in the truth. When the court of public opinion finds someone guilty, especially...

    Paterno should be canned.

    What's even more odd is that reading comprehension and critical thinking is suddenly absent from this thread, because no one said anything of the sort.

    Not sure I'd try this:

    Clickable link shows up fine on the phone in that one. :)

    Not sure I'd try this:

    Missing on my phone, too. But can see the link fine on the laptop. Weird. Also, on the phone, there's a standard smiley face icon where the link should be. And, if I tap and select "quote" to reply with the original post quoted, the smiley is replaced with the full text of the URL link. Weird.
