Oh, I know. I read a story a year or two ago on it, and I wish I could remember the reasons the moms wanted the kids to have cell phones and be able to use them while in class of needed. I can't remember any specific reasons, other than every one of them was stupid BS. Like, the mom wanted to...

For the most part, the Garmin really and truly will be the most accurate of the standalones on that score. Far from perfect, but better than the others. There are still some addresses that the Garmin cannot find, either because it's not in there, or because I'm not entering the address right...

No sidetracking at all. I know how to read the history of Wiki edits and search terms, and can read what it says as to why some edits and search results are there. In Canada, "hydro" just so happens to be the term that is used to mean hydroelectricity. Wiki never knew about it until they started...

One that does pdf, only to find you need jpg? It won't matter how much time you spend in the vehicle or what image format you actually need, a scanner scans, period. They all scan the same way, which is either RAW or uncompressed TIFF files (which are structured RAW files). If it scans to a PDF...

Start at the pointed end and slowly and gently pry upwards. Don't use a metal spatula or anything like that. Use your hands, or a plastic spatula - anything that won't scratch the paint. Some of the tape may stay on the vehicle. If so, WD-40, Gunk or any degreaser or adhesive remover will get it...

So you know, those breakout possible page link meanings were added specifically for Canadians who kept searching Wiki for hydroelectric and hydropower and couldn't find anything because they were using the uniquely Canadian shortened version of "hydro". Also, though less frequently, for Brits...

Wikileaks has servers in dozens of countries, so even attempting to shut down their server would be a waste of time, and would only play into Wikileaks' hands, solidifying their "underdog" or "David versus Goliath" position. The NSA likely isn't even wasting their considerable supercomputing...

For the same reason they refer to their electricity as "hydro". They don't know the difference between electricity and water, so how can you expect them to know the difference between an owner/operator and a freight broker? :D

The thing about cell phones in class, sure, the easy solution is to have all cell phones turned off or placed into a box on the teacher's desk at the beginning of class. But a really, really lot of parents, mostly mothers, do not want their kids to be without a cell phone, ever, in case of...

Still, the "need" for a scanner is relative, as it's more of a nice thing to have than something than is truly needed to do the job. There are tons of expediters without a scanner in the truck, many without a computer (perish the thought). But as Greg noted, they're awfully cheap.

That's just not right... making fun of retards like that. They can't help it.

No, it's greed. AT&T is advertising like crazy for a system that only gets worse with each new subscriber. They worked like crazy to acquire carriers and erect towers so they could cover 97% of all Americans, but are taking their own sweet time in updating that infrastructure to deal with all...

Hatch, you'll find that your faxing needs are very few and far between, at least with regards to expediting. Most anything that needs to be faxed will be shipping paperwork, which is almost always faxed right there from the shipper before you leave. And even that's mostly for loads that need the...

To a high school student, a minor, having four people in positions of authority granted to them by The State, three school administrators and a police officer, standing there demanding that you turn over your cell phone, that could be awfully intimidating. It's not much of a stretch at all to...

Depends on what you mean by "work better". Generally speaking, with only a few exceptions, all models within a brand name will have the same maps, mapping software and accuracy. They will also generally have the same routing software, for address-to-address and how to get there, with the...

Re: Home / News Poll: Wyoming taxpayers prefer Interstate 80 toll over gas tax to rep Especially since this is about putting a toll on out-of-state trucks, not in-state trucks and not in-state cars. I'm not sure that's even legal, federally, on what is actually called The Dwight D. Eisenhower...

Got an update: Glitch in the system is now supposed to be fixed. On Wednesday when whoever it was that checks on these things checked on it, there was indeed a glitch in the system. It took them looking at my fuel purchases history and seeing that no showers were getting loaded on the card. I...

If criminals weren't allowed to sue, the world would be a less humorous place, because that story right there is just all kinds of funny. :D

Yeah, it's kind of like after I finish inventing Star Trek transporter technology. It's gonna put half the world out of work and the price of oil will drop to 50 cents a barrel. I'm still having trouble with the Heisenberg Adjusters. Other than photons, which reintegrates fine, everything else...
