I had a fairly stupid phone for a long time. Up until about 3 months ago. I would plan ahead using google maps or use my GPS when travelling. However, that doesn't help much when you are walking around a new city. Now that I have a semi-smart phone (BB), planning ahead becomes less necessary and there isn't much risk of having to ask people in a bad (or perhaps bad) neighborhood for directions.
To each their own. You can certainly live without, but it seems like a philosophical stance against technology. Seems like the OP doesn't travel much.
Agreed 100%. I have successfully used VBA in Outlook for a number of interesting automated email handling tasks (at work where I don't dictate the environment).
You get a $25 rebate and a thermostat/switch, and they get to control your AC to adjust your temperature by 2-3 degrees. They cap the number of times the are allowed to do it at 10 times/year.
When can peaksaver be activated?
on weekdays (Monday through Friday), most likely between 12:00p.m. to 6:00p.m. from May 1 to September 30. Never on weekends or holidays.
for a maximum of ten activations during the summer and only for a total of four hours during any one activation. As an example; in 2008, the peaksaver program was activated only five times.

Seconded on Foundation series. Asimov was my intro to sci-fi. Asimov rules.

advertising in the guise of an ask slashdot.. annoying.
Obviously the fabric of the universe is rebelling at having its insides peeked into. Something to do with violating relativity...
