    The obligatory Blackberry thread

    I don't know. The blurb on the intranet site is not very clear and it could be interpreted that the ones that are disposed are handled responsibly, but not necessarily that every one is destroyed. The one I have is 4 years old and on its last legs anyway. Sometimes I have to whack that...

    They will be collected and disposed by a third party in an environmentally friendly matter, whatever that means.

    Not like their brain cells. :D But you know it was only a typo. That happens once in a while.

    Wow, that would not be good. My monitor is the most expensive part of the system; you could kill five of the Dells for that.

    I tried to post that when the board was out of action for some hours. At least they were fried.

    New Zalman cooler proves to be very effective.

    Many fans fail long before the ratings, probably due to filth.

    I don't think so. Does the Google have a store? I also clear the cookies around 4000 times per year.

    How does the Google know my e-mail addresses? I understand that they know my temporary IP address, but not e-mail.

    It is a very strange situation. On my main computer the Google is unchanged (bar on top). I don't log into anything and I just turned that computer on. :spiderman:

    I've also found that to be the case, but most of my electrics have been the mid-priced ones.

    It looks totaled to me simply due to the aged vehicle. The good part is that it is nice to have a new car once in a while. :)

    Isn't the Alienware made by Chinese with Intel CPUs/chipsets? Nothing alien about that.

    That is not the point for me, although I understand it is designed to appeal aesthetically. I need to keep sets of batteries identified for use status and especially charging purposes. Over the years I have tried all sorts of methods, such as markers, paint, using multiple brands, etc. The...

    I think the point is that hair indicates sexual maturity and is a trigger for normal attraction. If you look throughout the animal kingdoms you will see numerous examples in reptiles (scale color), birds (faethers and colors) and mamals (fur/hair).

    Apparently it is normal as there is a safety timer that limits the brightest mode to 25 minutes.

    LED flashlights

    I would like one like that. The single AA lights are too weak or the run times are too short. The main problem I have with 18650 cells is that chargers are too slow, chargers have only two slots, and the spare cells cannot be in the checked luggage. :( Six hours for a charge is workable at...

    Geeze, it's not the 80s anymore. The last time I was in Hawaii was recently and the rental car I had was just like any other vehicle. Do you really think that Hawaii wants extra smog pollution or that Toyota/Honda/Nissan wants to make a limted number of different cars for Hawaii than other states?

    Are there any good 2xAA (side by side) lights in the 250 lumens range? The inline 2xAA lights are too long for my place.

    I received the TK35 and wow 820 limens is really bright! :idea: I have never seen such output from an LED light, or for that matter any flashlight that weighs only a pound. The TK35 is a great home/car light, but rather large for travel. So far there is only one feature that I don't like...

    It does not appear too serious to me. There are many arguments about addictions, but the commonality is whether the activity has a significantly deleterious affect on the person's (and other's) health and welfare.

    It looks like an old-fashioned distribution center. If it is like UPS, they hire a lot of young people on a temporary basis. At the worldport in TN, many of them are college students. What is the relevance of sports?
