I've had the Dash for about 10 months. I don't know how I'm gonna live with it for another 14!!! Like you said, it drained the battery on my nightstand from full at 10pm to nothing at 3am. It woke me up when I heard it playing the power-off jingle. I use it for an alarm clock, so I had to wake up and figure out another alarm. <br><br>I frequently locks up and I have to take the battery out to reboot it. It doesn't even have the courtesy of giving me the blue screen of death. When my contract is up, T-mobile will probably lose me as a customer. I agree with those comments.

After all, if an OS was not really different from any other, why buy Windows 7, or Snow Leopard? Or even why pay money at all, and go with any of the GNU/Linux flavors? Is it artificial? Clearly. But so long as consumers actually think there is an appreciable difference in operating systems, and gear their thinking specifically towards those differences, then the particulars of the software industry will continue to thrive. Once consumers get smart, then things will have to change.

good article, txs.
Question: how do I log *only* the variables (url_effective, …)?
The HTML is thrown into output_raw_1.txt as well, and I don't want that.
I just want the values for url_effective, size_download, etc.

txs,

I think the installation is all wrong. The installer layed the Helmet on top of the shingles so the water can run down behind. Now I have wet ceilings in the corners where I have valley's on the roof. They have been back a couple of times to caulk the shit out of top of the Helemt where it lays on the roof. Neeed to see where they say tuck the Helmet up under a row of shingles so the water runs over rather than under?????? Looking for info on how the Gutter Helmet should be installed.
