    Motorola Droid Bionic

    That's the plan. I'm eligible for the discounted upgrade as of a few days ago, so when the Bionic comes out I'll be looking to upgrade. Maybe not immediately, but within the next few months, for sure.

    Twain Error

    What's the scanner, and what's the software and what's the error? Does it say something like "Twain error - failed to open twain driver"? More than likely, you can go into the software setting and change it from twain to WIA. If that doesn't work, uninstall the scanner's drivers...

    Motorola Droid Bionic

    Verizon just put up a Droid Bionic "sign-up" page so you can "Sign up to receive details and launch dates so you can be one of the first to get the Droid Bionic by Motorola on Verizon." It's the clearest sign that the Bionic is finally near its release. It'll probably happen in the next 2-4...

    Dawn probe set to orbit asteroid Vesta

    While it isn't known how many asteroids are in the main belt, most estimates are between 700,000 and 1.7 million. One-in-twenty from a single asteroid is a really lot. :) Did you know that out of all those asteroids, the four largest objects - Ceres, 4 Vesta, 2 Pallas, and 10 Hygiea - make up...

    Snyder signs law to limit cold medicine purchases in Michigan

    Frankly, I thought all states already restricted ephedrine or pseudoephedrine products. I used to have sinus problems all the time and used Sudafed a lot. Used to buy 2-4 packages a month. Then (at least in KY) you had to go the pharmacist and get if from him/her in exchange for giving them you...

    Shoes, Other Safety Equipment

    Former Marine? No. Marines (and I assume former Marines) adapt, overcome, improvise, while Boy Scouts (and former Boy Scouts) simply Be Prepared. :)

    sometimes UPS shipments seem to take the long way around

    According to FedEx, the shortest distance between any two points is through Memphis.

    AN EARLY TERMINATION FEE WILL APPLY TO EACH LINE OF SERVICE IF YOU DO NOT MAINTAIN YOUR AGREED-UPON SERVICES THROUGH THE END OF YOUR TERM FOR THAT LINE OF SERVICE, OR IF WE TERMINATE YOUR SERVICE EARLY (see Section 18). 7. Service Availability. Coverage maps only approximate our anticipated...

    The best expediting company

    Even when he comes back, he won't come back. The day his ban ends, he sets out on his annual trek to the Dead Zone, Paul Bunyan land, where he will have no electronic communications of any kind. He'll be hunting or fishing or kayaking or whatever else a bunch of men do when they are alone...

    Democrats win Wisconsin recall primaries

    Nope. It's a prediction.

    Another blast of heat to hit U.S.

    I just delivered a load to Mobile, because I just can't get enough heat and humidity.

    The fine print: North Dakota may not be a state

    You know about the Georgia/Tennessee border dispute, right? Way back when, a surveying error gave TN an extra sliver of north GA. And Georgia wants it back. Alabama would get a bit, and Mississippi would get a nice little chunk of Memphis. Georgians thirsting to move state line -...

    Shoes, Other Safety Equipment

    Like Leo said, get your own hard hat. When I first started one of the nastiest, grossest truck driver's I've yet seen handed back a borrowed hard hat, and then they immediately handed it to me. I waited until the other trucker left the shack, and said I'd wear that hat only after it's been...

    Cargo van Career

    I'm not sure how merely pointing it out, because it's hilarious, is mocking it (to attack or treat with ridicule, contempt, or derision). It's a poor craftsman who blames his tools. :D I've had auto-correct do some weird stuff to me too, and I've slipped up and posted it as-is, but I really...

    The Obama Record

    It's good to be the king. :D Especially since it's the job of the Congress to come up with the budget.

    $901.00 .. all better!

    Could be the EGR valve, or a malfunctioning fuel flow sensor on the fuel rail. It's probably the former, especially if you don't get an engine light all the time.

    Im running for president its offical!!

    It's an option that people can use if the horrifying thought of not being able to deduct interest payments scares them so much. Many people have done just that. If the reason for buying a house is to get the mortgage interest deduction, then priorities are off. If someone wants a house, they'll...
