    Sorry to reply to myself. One more thing: I don't do gaming, but if the summary is to be believed, Destructoid is independent. That is worth money. See for a model. Of course, if Destructoid is getting money from advertisers, I question their independence.

    What are you talking about? Who has one always-active CRT, let alone four?

    They use only 25% of the consumption of a 4-TON AC unit

    A 4 ton A/C unit could cool a 3,300 sq. ft. house What percentage of the population has such a "typical" mega mansion?

    the same power monthly as a single 8000 BTU window air conditioner

    OK, about 6.6 amps

    So, 6.6 amps times 24 hours = 158.4 amp hours, times 120 volts = 19,000 watts. In Chicago, electricity costs 14.8 cents/kwhour. Total cost $2.81 for electricity.

    For a 30mpg car, trip uses 2/3 of a gallon. Say gas costs $4/gal. Total spent: $2.67.

    OOPS.

    Maybe next time you could give us a LoC metric so we could more easily figure out what your point is.

    http://www.angieslist.com/ is completely legit and all it's reviews are great!

  5. local help by falconwolf · · Score: 1 · on The "Dangers" of Free

    Those old phone books are occasionally useful. It's sometimes hard to find low-tech, small, local businesses (e.g., plumbers) online.

    I've never used it but Angie's list helps here. It has reviews of plumbers as well as other pros from people who hired them. What I didn't know though, I've never been to the site, was that users have to join and pay a membership fee.

  7. Re:Just the facts, maam by fritz1968 · · Score: 1 · on Doctors Sue Patients for Online Complaints

    The main problem is that the sites had names like drsmithfraud.com not medicalreviews.com. If someone has a site with a name like that it is probably not a dis-interested review, it is more like publishing a hit piece on the subject.

    So in other words, you are thinking about an Angie's List for Doctors.

    Sounds like a good idea to me. If you have never heard of Angie's list, goto http://www.angieslist.com/

  8. Slashdot consumer activist forum? by Cuisinart · · Score: 1 · on Richard Stallman Calls for Amazon Boycott

    What if had a section devoted to public comment about companies that Slashdotters do buisiness with? Something along the lines of Angie's List but for online buisinesses. If such sites exist, post their URLs here. At the minimum, perhaps Slashdot could make some clearly seen links to such sites if they choose not to host such a forum themselves.
