at Radioshack, I've dealt with people like you over and over again. They bring back their nickle Cadium based phones a few weeks later, and tell me it's dead. I then say "heres your new battery" and they buy it.
Now when the old couple comes in with the pre-1980's cordless phone, and I tell them the batter is 40-60$, I generaly ask if they want a new phone.
So I bring them over to the wall and show them the selection of phones with a lithium-ion batter in them, and I tell them about how if they keep charging their old battery (nickle cadium) it will damage the battery, but instead with these lithium-ion phone batterys, give them one good charge on your first use, then recharge them any time you wish!
The same thing is with my cell phone, the Sanyo SCP-4000. Not a spectacular phone, but the default lithium-ion battery that comes with it is a god send, I recharge it every night with no fear of the battery dying.
So in short I tell you, pick a cordless phone that has a lithium-ion battery in it, instead of a nickle cadium, or nickle metal hydrate (the latter is your next best alternative).

That's actualy a cool story that I've never read before. Thanks Anonymous Coward! Will I ever see you again? You've saved my life twice already, and I don't even know what you look like.
I'm reminded of Super Metroid, when your in Maridia and you set a super grenade to explode in the right tube. *MEerrrroooeeaaaaaaaaaaa* *samus gets up* *looks left* *looks right* *looks up* *creek... creeeek.. creek creek creek creek SMASHHHHHH* *glass dangles all around and the tube's destroyed*
Niagara Falls, Ontario. Canada. We have Niagara Falls, 1 casino (2 in a year or so), a Marine Land, too many hotels for a small city, Musems, Attractions like Clifton Hill, great gorge adventures, "Journey behind the falls" where you get to go behind the falls in tunnels.
"I mean, do you see people roaring down your neighborhood streets at their car's top speed? No?"
Yes, Yes I do, Frequently. Infact maybe I'll web cam the stop sign infront of my house and send you a video one day. Cars don't stop at either stopsign.
"In the four months since the heavily touted invention was unveiled to the public, 20 states, including Virginia, have passed laws to allow the Human Transporter, as the scooter is sometimes called, to be used on sidewalks."
"I'm not against Segway devices -- they're phenomenally innovative and exciting -- but I'm concerned that if we allow [them] onto sidewalks, this will be a major injury waiting to happen," said Gary Smith, director of the Center for Injury Research and Policy at the Columbus Children's Hospital in Ohio.
"These weigh 69 to 95 pounds, depending on the model, can carry a person up to 250 pounds plus cargo up to 75 pounds. With that much mass, even traveling at 12.5 miles an hour, the virtual laws of physics say they won't be able to stop on a dime."
This guy has a great view and I hope they don't pass any kind of law in Canada to allow useage of these on sidewalks. Tourists would be all over the place with these, using them up clifton hill, forcing walkers all over the streets. Imagine a person weighting over 200 pounds, driving one of these going downhill, and runing over a stick? he'd be thrown into the air! Killing millions!!
Do you not have a life? "People are going to not post here. It's a fad. So now I am not going to. Bahh bahh. I'm a sheep."

I used to work at Radioshack in Canada(TM), and whenever we'd get a person who wanted to return a piece of computer software, we'd fire it up on a computer, install it, and check if it ran.
If it ran, we would not take it back. If it did not run, we would take it back.
That is fair. Just not taking it back, is not. If the game had an obvious defect in the disk, we'd swap disks with a new one, send the other for repair.

I agree, this means absolutly nothing to me, and is a big pile of crap I couldn't even bring myself to read.

Huge Tourist city.
you've put way to much thought into this.
People like to drive, people hate to stop.
There is a stop sign that is now there, it wasn't for years before.
A long stretch of the road is unguarded by stop signs, people don't want to stop.
The parents want it there to protect their kids, they all voted it to be there, it's there.
It's a stop sign.
You stop at stop signs.
dude
Niagara falls See's more tourists in a 4 month term than 5 times the population of this city.
Everybody in the neightbourhood except for one person signed for it.
The bypassers who do not live in this neightbourhood do not like it.

I'm one of those jerks
who if I saw some guy riding one of these, and hit me in any way, he'd have a shiner.
Just like if somebody riding a bike, hit me, he'd be blue.
Yes, it's one of the most funnest things in the world to do. Along with riding your bike in 6 inch snow.
I was so tempted to put a ski on the front tire.
are there GNU versions of tax software for lots of countrys that you know about?
if so, they are pertruding on Quicken's buisness.
well gay = bad to a lot of people
same reason why that guy on that show with the two gay guys and one girl says "Let's get things gay here."
Well you can always make those tools for the screws with some spare time, and some other tools.
that's kind of technicaly ILLEGAL now to do with software.
Your actualy doing the gay black out thing blah?
