  1. Re:"bluetooth uses less power" on Wi-Fi Direct Overlaps Bluetooth Territory For Connecting Devices · · Score: 1

    In terms of the iPhone, my understanding is this: the WiFi system is only on when the phone is active (lit screen). Nothing ever wakes the iPhone by WiFi. I don't feel up for testing it because I'm not at home, but you can check this by trying to ping your phone when it is asleep.

    Yep, I used to have a jail-broken iPhone, and in order to SSH into it I had to turn the screen on to enable WiFi. Once I had an active connection with it though, turning off the screen didn't kill the WiFi. I think it's the same with any background process - if the email app is updating, it will finish up even if the screen isn't on.

    I've met plenty of women who love the jealousy and control.

    I call those chicks "women I don't want to date."

    Can't we just put some baseball cards in between the blades? It works on my bike - there are never any bats caught in there.

    Dang, I have all these Schrute bucks and no NOKs or SMPs! Any chance I could exchange them?

    Do I need to take off my tinfoil hat before I walk through the collection area?

  7. Silver bullet impact on Texas Makes Zombie Fire Ants · · Score: 5, Funny

    "These are very slow acting," Plowes said. "It's more like a cumulative impact measured across a time frame of years. It's not an immediate silver bullet impact."

    Well of course there's no silver bullet impact for zombie fire ants, but if we need to get rid of some werewolf fire ants, the silver bullets might do the trick!
