If you're using FireFox, hold down the control button (I forget which button it is with a Mac) and scroll up with your mouse wheel.

I can't help but wonder what kind of car your wife drives. GM, Ford, Chrysler, Honda, Toyota, BMW, Mercedes, Nissan, Subaru, Volkswagen, and I'm sure just about every other manufacturer has deep roots in military vehicle production during times of war.

Everyone also seems to have forgotten the Consumerist Executive Customer Service Hotline that Sprint set up. http://consumerist.com/2007/05/sprint-sets-up-consumerist-reader-executive-customer-service-hotline.html

It's one of the biggest reasons I suggest Sprint to friends.

How The Banking Industry Wants You To Think About Overdraft Fees

What unabashed self serving rectal clowns!

Of course we should be charged fees for a service. Only now we're going to be told up front what the charges will be, instead of some seedy underhanded hidden fee scheme.

If the local branch has too much overhead, then I guess we'll all end up switching to internet based banking, which doesn't suffer those same overhead costs. This will ultimately be more efficient, less wasteful, and better for humanity and the environment. Though perhaps less good for the makers of large steel vaults, bulletproof glass, and pens with chains on them.

I suppose you have to break a couple eggs sometimes.

I'll submit for the N.O.Xplode settlement, and as soon as the deposit clears, donate it right back to Consumerist.

I've had my Olympus Stylus 850Sw for over a year now and I love it. I did have to get it replaced once, and the customer service did it all under warranty even though the damage was probably my fault.

New Futuristic Coke Machine: Possibly Greatest Invention Ever

I'm not really impressed until it comes with Surge.

That said, all it's doing is giving you the normal range of products, then giving you the option of adding a fruit flavor shot to the mix. If it were formulating complex mixes, I'd be impressed, but I'm betting they've got syrup tanks of coke, sprite, fanta, barqs, etc in the back, and the only thing that makes this unique is the addition of peach, raspberry, etc.

@catastrophegirl - sometimes makes typos and doesn't care: I've had the same problem! I've never seen a single stage unit in Maryland, yet all the thermostats I can find only support single stage! WTF?
