What fuel stabilizer do you use, how long do you keep the gas, and what do you do when it expires?
Every 6 months, dump the stored gas into your car and refill the can(s) at the station. Even better, get a manual transfer pump so you can refill your gas can from your car's tank in a pinch. My "emergency" generator fuel supply is ~16gals in each of two cars.
It's a good idea to fill up before a major storm anyway in case you need to evacuate.
Remember, you can add more APs for wifi, but not for phones.
Not true. Residential users can use broadband backhaul for relatively cheap (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femtocell)
Bigger users can get bigger equipment. Last year, my office installed entire cell stations for major providers in our main equipment rooms and wired them with low-loss coax to little dome antennas scattered around the buildings. Helps coverage immensely
Author of TFA says he doesn't know if the material he observed has an impact on radio, just quoting the fact that it's "reflective" from a vendor brochure, but according to the same pdf the material is in fact metallic
Protect TF200 Thermo includes a tough non-woven PP core with a durable bright high purity permeable aluminium layer, bonded to the substrate.
Yep, sounds like a radio-eater all right. Interesting stuff, too.
Ok, what exactly does the word "bonus" mean to you? If it was just a given that you were going to get a bonus, why not just include it in the regular salary?
Bonuses in the US are "incentive pay". They're an aware based on success, and most companies define success as meeting their goals, so it's perfectly logical for a company to say to have a baseline bonus policy in addition to salary, and modify that bonus up or down for exceeding or falling short of the stated goals. It's both the carrot and the stick.
If I want GSM (so that my phone will work in the rest of the world when I travel (right?)) then I either have to have AT&T, T-Mobile, or one of the MVNOs that operate on their networks. I fear if AT&T dismantles the T-Mobile infrastructure that I'll be back to not getting any signal inside my house. Is my fear justified?
Verizon has several phones with GSM (and even UMTS) for global roaming. Motorola Droid Pro and Droid2 Global come immediately to mind:
WCDMA 850/1900/2100, CDMA 800/1900, GSM 850/900/1800/1900, HSDPA 10.2 Mbps (Category 9/10), CDMA EV-DO Release A, EDGE Class 12, GPRS Class 12, HSUPA 1.8 Mbps
There are some HTC and Blackberry options too. Global roaming isn't as big a deal as it used to be for Verizon customers.
Of course, it was a 3 phase 200A 480V 3 phase receptacle on the side of a trailer-mounted generator
Sure, but how many phases did it have?
Man, why is this concept so difficult to grasp? It's. Not. A. Milling. Machine.
It's an FDM

All Android phones released in 2010 were capped at 1Ghz with chips from either Qualcomm or Samsung. The Samsung Infuse 4G is the first phone I'm aware of that at stock is greater than 1Ghz (it is 1.2Ghz).
Almost all the Motorola Android phones, and all the high-end ones currently shipping, use TI OMAP processors.
First, Droid (Milestone) in 2009 used a TI OMAP 3430
Later, Droid X in 2010 used a TI OMAP 3630 at 1Ghz
Finally, Droid 2 Global Launched on Nov 9 2001 with a 1.2 GHz TI OMAP processor
I totally understand the quality argument. Midwest Express is supposed to be quite nice in the areas they fly. On the other hand, I remember flying on some airlines in the 90s that aren't around anymore that were just horrible.
I used to fly Midwest exclusively -- they were a bit more expensive, but well worth it for the nicer cabin service and roomy "business class" style 2+2 seating in their DC9's instead of the more common 2+3 arrangement.
Now they're just another carrier squishing in cattle competing for bottom dollar. Between that and the airport hassles I usually just drive anywhere I would have taken Midwest in ~2002
The stations that switched to digital eliminated RDS to make room for HD2/HD3 subchannels.
Maybe some, but certainly not all of them. WBEZ Chicago kept its RDS when it added HD.
It's $25 unsubsidized retail. Pop in your SIM and go.

The ONLY wireless OEM hack I have ever seen is the one where you blast mp3 files to bluetooth devices with the codes set to 0000 or 1234.. and that was to a BMW. Unfortunately it did not allow me to take control and steer the car or control the brakes. It did allow us to play audi adverts to the guy.
Where'd you find a BMW with factory A2DP?
Get renter's insurance. Seriously. I don't think I ever had a policy priced at more than $100/year. If you also have a reasonably late-model car you can usually get a "multi-policy discount" that's greater than the cost of the renter's policy.
Surveillance equipment is just something else to be stolen if there's a breakin.
"dumb"phone defects are sometimes dealt with over-the-air, or the user brings the phone back into the store to re-flash or exchange it for an updated model. Returned phones are re-flashed in a distribution center and sent back to stores for exchange as refurbished models.
It's *very* rare that a phone cannot be reflashed at all - Not only would the hardware is scrap if a software defect is found, but each and every phone would have to be contracted for a specific carrier and market before it's manufactured. When was the last time you saw a model of phone that was 100% identical between two carriers?
The reason they could find your location before GPS was a thing called triangulation. They could (and still can on phones without GPS) check your signal strength to various towers to figure out where you are because they know the geographic location of all the towers.
Your description is correct, but that's not triangulation, it's trilateration. From signal strength one can derive a distance but not a direction. The technique is drawing circles of to see where they meet, rather than drawing lines to see where they cross.
