    Its all already public information, likely all of it information you have posted yourself. All of that information is simply aggregated much the same way Google aggregates news feeds. In order to remove the information that shows up, you have to remove it from the source, not from the aggregator.

    inverter problem

    A 900 Watt microwave is almost certainly 900 Watts of output cooking power, but it draws 1400 Watts of power to produce that 900 Watts. Inside the door or on the rear of the microwave there will be a plate that tells the power consumption of the microwave, which is different than the output...

    Gps device

    GPS tracking isn't cheap, but it can be done on the cheap using a smartphone, Google Maps and Google Latitude. But that does require driver cooperation, as it depends on the driver enabling the GPS and Latitude and keeping it enabled all the time (which is a killer drain on a smartphone's...

    Exploiting a Tragedy

    Worse than the other two combined? Not even close. First, there's no point in trying to compare Japan to New Orleans. You can compare New Orleans to the areas in northern Japan that were hardest hit by the quake and tsunami, but that's about as far as the comparisons can go. But even at that...

    Exploiting a Tragedy

    "Well there have been a scattering of appeals for donations, nothing like Haiti or New Orleans." That's because Japan is nothing like Haiti or New Orleans. One, New Orleans is here, not somewhere else. Two, Haiti has no other resources of their own to handle their disaster, whereas Japan most...

    Chef Dennis's New CargoMax

    If you take a look and think about it for a sec, the microwave covers just about the same, or less, than a person sitting there would cover. My TV screen covers just about the same as that microwave, and it's not a problem at all. Looks good, man. Refrigerator compressors don't give off...

    You can read msgs on the Droid App, but....

    Interestingly, via the Web interface on the computer, or the Web browser on the Droid, you cannot read any messages, but when viewing with the EO Droid App you can read messages just fine. Looks like a vBSEO product file wasn't properly imported or something.

    Bob Dylan and Viet Nam

    OK, so what does all of that have to do with Dylan going to Vietnam in 2011 and performing? It's not like he wrote a bunch of pro-China or pro-North Vietnam songs. His songs questioned the government, which, as it turns out, needed questioning. "But the U.S. has NO business being the world's...

    Bob Dylan and Viet Nam

    I couldn't care less whether Bob Dylan goes to Vietnam or not. He's going to perform in China, and I don't care about that, either. He's also going to perform in Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, England and Ireland. The one that makes me mad is his final concert date of his current tour, which...

    And he Starts Coming for Guns....

    Did none of you actually read the articles? Not even the op-ed penned by Obama (or whoever actually wrote it for him)? Did you only read the highly opinionated twisted interpretation of what the Department of Justice said, or did you bother to take note of what the Department of Justice actually...

    Diesel Trucks running on Hydrogen

    If those things that actually worked, don't you think cars and trucks would come with it already installed? If a hydrogen kit yielded 50% more mileage (or even 20%), Detroit would be all over it, since it would be the answer to all their problems. The fact is, it requires more energy to separate...

    Did not take long.

    People freak out over nuclear energy because of the radioactive waste that just keeps piling up (in the US, 2000 metric tons per year) and the fact that it remains lethal for roughly 250,000 years. The long term storage facility at Yucca Mountain is 11 years behind schedule, and the water and...

    Did not take long.

    Well, yeah, for those who are anti-nuclear power, this will be a rallying cry. But Lieberman isn't one of them. He's a proponent of nuclear power. Yeah, well, they are, and you can't change that, so you need get over that. It's easy to say that now. But the fact is there is no truly safe place...

    First post

    Bingo! That's why I included the "Not at any kind of profitable rate, anyway," caveat. You probably could find a carrier that could keep you busy enough to rake in 150,000 loaded miles in a year, but it'll be at very cheap rates, likely not enough to take care of all the road and maintenance...
