That's my recommendation. Why lock yourself into a two year contract with a phone that won't do LTE? For some, being able to make actual phone calls on an iPhone, a new experience for many, may trump the LTE capability, and those people are fine with the 3G level of data. But for everyone else...

There's nothing contradictory at all there. When you pay for something, you get what you paid for, not what you want it to be instead. You don't to to the marina and rent a boat, and then when they're not looking take a bigger boat just because a different marina has the bigger boat for the same...

Woolly Mammoth Rib Night

I have no idea. That's my point. Scientists work on one thing, to try and achieve something specific, and they end up making some other discovery, and then other people figure out all the kewl things you can do with it. For example, a guy named William Herschel was investigating the...

Oh, I dunno. One can never tell what may result from scientific research. When a student (Jamie Link) was doing her doctoral work in chemistry at the University of California, San Diego, one of the silicon chips she was working on burst. She discovered afterward that the tiny pieces still...

The best shower head on the planet was in a Flying J in Ellensburg, WA. It would strip the chrome off a bumper at 30 feet. Firefighters the world over would make pilgrimages just to see it. The big truck diesel pumps are like a leaky faucet by comparison. It was awesome. But that Flying J is now...

Sadly, a lot of cemeteries, including church cemeteries, have fences and gates, due to vandals and such. I would imagine AZ and MI laws are the same, where they can restrict access in a reasonable manner, but cannot bar it completely. It's only polite, and required by law, that permission of the...

That assumes man and nature are two different things. They are not. It also assumes canned worms are not part of nature. They are. Don't be a wormist. Man used to hunt and kill, and eat and wear woolly mammoths. It may very well be that man killed half a dozen too many, and if it were not for...

Church cemeteries are absolutely on private property. But again, it is public use rather than ownership which determines whether a cemetery is public. It depends on whether the church provided burial plots to the public, including their own church members. Most cemeteries are located on...

The really disturbing part about that picture is, he looks like about half the van drivers out here.

I've seen the end of the Internet. It's quite disturbing.

That's pretty funny. :D

The difference is, the law says parks can, cemeteries can't. I don't know of any state or national parks that can be rented in their entirety, but a lot of city parks allow at least a portion of the park to be rented for exclusive use, like covered picnic areas, BBQ grills, athletic areas. But...

Well, it was noted here on EO, but it's generally a good idea to read the Official Rules for these programs. That way you know what the rules are, and how to play the game. From the UltraONE Official Rules: As for why it's only two per day, I have no idea, other than it's probably a response to...

Like I said, people can try and justify it in all manner of ways, but that doesn't change what it is. Taking something with you that you did not pay for is not the sole definition of stealing. Using or Consuming something you did not pay for is also stealing. Stealing, or theft, is the illegal...

Looks like mostly mammals, at least for now.

Actually, in a lot of places out west where water shortages can be a real problem, there are local laws requiring flow restrictors on shower heads. But more than that, federal regulations since 1992 mandate that new showerhead flow rates can't exceed more than 2.5 gallons per minute (gpm) at a...

There's a whole host of problems with that one. Cemeteries are normally public places, and publicly accessible, so it would be very difficult in most cases to close it off and rent it out to a private party, while at the same time pick and choose who they allow in. If it were that easy to get...

I suspect Sarah Palin wouldn't know the difference between "blood libel" and "blood slander" even if it were explained to her. The seething, hate-filled rhetoric that is ubiquitous in this country needs to stop, and people need to just discuss the issues without attacking each other. Whether...
