    Refrigerator help!!!!

    On mine - which is a Frigidaire, but looks very similar - the unit gets rid of heat via the side and rear wall surfaces. Perhaps with warmer temperatures here, the unit needs to operate more efficiently. Make sure there is adequate clearance for air flow on all sides.

    Android Is Popular Because It’s Cheap, Not Because It’s Good

    The above statements would seem to indicate some degree of unfamiliarity (fairly significant I'd say) with Apple products and the current state of things as far as customizing, modifying, and otherwise hacking either the Mac or iOS' ... IOW, it's something that you likely heard ... not...

    Google announces it's tracking users. You can't opt out.

    The following is the type public/private nexus that I referred to earlier - the problem is that governmental entities are appropriately constrained on what they can do in certain situations with information of private citizens. The apparent solution is for governmental agencies to farm certain...

    Google announces it's tracking users. You can't opt out.

    Actually, I think that they are presently quite busy trying to hold the rampants against things being enabled by the general complacency and flaccidness of the statist "law and order" cheerleading crowd - stuff like the recent Warrant-less GPS Tracking case heard and found to be unconstitutional...

    Google announces it's tracking users. You can't opt out.

    Oh, it gets even better - check out this "solution" from a self-appointed truth purveyor (aka censor) from the Ministry of The Divine Truth (WaPo and Slate apparently) on what to do about things search engines turn up that don't fit the "sanctioned narrative" of "how things ought to be"...

    Satellite communications

    Well technically, the way I read it, a carrier can't require you to have any equipment that they are supplying, as a condition of leasing on with them. From Part §376.12 "Written lease requirements": "Except as provided in the exemptions set forth in subpart C of this part, the written lease...

    AT&T is how I spell FAIL!

    Well, it is pretty much GSM everywhere else (World Marketshare: GSM 80%+, CDMA 10%+) - but that's not to say there aren't CDMA based carriers elsewhere as you rightly state. Attached below is a world coverage map for GSM from GSMA (the GSM trade group) ....... I'd post one from CDG, the CDMA...

    AT&T is how I spell FAIL!

    Revolutionary product that spawned a new category of electronic devices: the personal digital assistant or PDA, employed some very cool handwriting recognition technology (Inkwell) All praise to the Newton for that smartphone you are using. BTW, you can still get software to interface one with...

    Heheheh ..... musta been the girl that mis-marked my cup and caused the barrista at Target to make it with non-fat instead of whole milk ? (grumpy old 'tard ain't I ? :p) I'm sure that's true in some instances .... although I can say in my case it really wasn't ...... I didn't adopt until...

    AT&T is how I spell FAIL!

    They all suck ..... by which I mean: they all drop calls. By what measure - that they sold so many ? Real fan of the free market eh ? "Forced ....." ... what a crack up ..... As elaborated by Mssr. Berry - they don't, and so, won't .... ...... ahhh ...... really profound there Greg...

    The New Droid Phone

    Yup ... traditionally, that was true ... although I don't think it's the case so much any more - since OS X there's all kinds of 3rd party hacks that can be done software-wise ..... and hardware-wise, well what could be cooler than installing your iPod shuffle inside a Nintendo controller ...

    The New Droid Phone

    Yup, it's all in how it's used ...... anyways couldn't be too much of a fanboy ..... to scrap a perfectly good computer like that and make it into a mailbox ..... but then no tellin' what them crazy artistes will do :D BTW ...... that unit looks identical to what my wife is currently using...
