It's just a marketing tool, and those of us that know, know better. It's the location and the number of finders that pull in actual FP's.
But i saw it on the internet so it must be true.

I had a plastic ammo can out for 1 1/2 years with no problems. It was still be good enough to be stolen.

I use HotSync Manager 7.0.2 to Hotsync my Palm Tungsten E with my 64bit Windows 7 laptop. Works well except Gsak doesn't send the pdb file to the right place so i have to track it down and drag it to the Hotsync manager. It also has Palm Desktop by ACCESS version 6.2.2.

Mostly i use my windows XP desktop.

Someone could just ask Hotel Security, or is that too simple?

I just watched an annoying video about a lame non geocaching idea.

Railroads are not federal property.

I hope the Iowa reviewer tries for lots of FTFs, and gets them.
The last i heard he lived in Wisconsin.
I don't see how there is an advantage on a traditional cache if the reviewer waits until it is published before searching.

Works fine for me with IE and Firefox.

With 5700 finds to his credit, he would certainly know there is a difference.
While I know the difference, I really have no way of knowing that I'm looking for a PMO cache when I'm actually looking for it. My GPS doesn't tell me and it's not like the container is a different color or anything. Of the ten caches that I found last week, I have no idea how many, if any are PMO. Having been a PM since 6/05, it's really the last thing that I think of when geocaching. I'm afraid that I could easily make the same mistake if I were to take a new person out because I'm simply not paying attention to such things.
If you are not a premium member you will not be able to see PMO caches, your GPS will only show caches you put in it.
You do "see" them online via a computer but you dont see the coordinates for them. When an area is so full of PMO caches, its really annoying to go through the list to find a cache that is a non PMO cache. That wasnt an issue for me, but of where this OP was caching in is could be annoying.
God forbid anyone being annoyed.

Okay, I guess I'm not understanding this "open a new account" thing...
A cacher claims that his find was deleted and he has a pic proving he was there.
- Who does Groundspeak notify they were reversing the decision, a fictitious account?
Emails ensue and Groundspeak may be ready for a bannination if the harrasment to the cacher continues.
- Both of you are safe, because it's a bogus account?
Trying to figure out what this has to do with the OP.

I am kind of disgruntled with geocaching in my area. I started doing this as a FUN way of learning the area and just enjoying the outdoors. Finding now that it's turning into a FOR PROFIT activity. The economy has finally hit me and dont have the money to jump in the car and just waste gas for geocaching so I decided to stick to my local area and what did I find? HUNDREDS of caches, but until I pay money for a premium membership I am not priviledged enough to get their coordinates. I guess I will just have to beg friends and family to Gift a Premium membership Every year just to enjoy something that started out as a free thing to do....it's sad really if you think about it.
Surprise...Geocaching.com is not a 'not for profit' organization. It costs money to run and you want to complain about the members who support it. If you don't want to buy a premium membership then don't cry about not having premium member priviledges.

If you find any of my caches and don't sign the paper log your online log will be canceled.
I have only deleted one online log...he logged it twice.

Guam
in How do I...?
When traveling to a foreign country dedicated GPS receivers have to "learn" where they are when they are turned on. Do smart phone GPS receivers have to learn their location also?
-
I would think requiring finders to perform cache maintenance would be an additional logging requirement and against guidelines.

It works ok for me.

Maybe show them one of those Garmin or Megellan badge geocoins - LOL!
Badges...WE dont need no stinking badges.

I like the c-4 idea...can i watch?

Democrat, Republican, they can all be bought for "pocket change" (in rich-guy speak). After all, MONEY not public interest is the driver of policy in the U.S.
That's why I'm predicting a LightSquared victory over time provided Falcone can throw enough money at the D.C. brothel.
Our elected representatives cannot be "bought" however they can be rented rather cheaply. Being bought implies ownership, these clowns change more often than your undies.

Here's a thought or two:
Maybe minorities don't want to spend time looking for tupperware in the woods and lifting lamp post skirts.
Why does it matter?

For all of you who think this is something a Volunteer reviewer should correct, i'm sure they can and will do a lot of extra work if you want to pay them $25-$30 per hour plus benefits. I don't, i think they do a great job (and cheap too). I have no idea what a premium membership would cost but it wouldn't be cheap.

As it isn't clear to a normal human being who is setting and enforcing these Live limits, those poor developers are getting some extremely unpleasant emails demanding refunds.
3 a day?
This whole setup is hard to understand.
1) Groundspeak themselves have different limits on their own software than those enforced on 3rd parties
2) Non sanctioned "rogue" software developers have no need to observe these limits at all, and deliver fully functional apps able to rip off. THEY CONTINUE TO DO SO UNOPPOSED.
The ones getting kicked in the shins? The people who toe the line with Groundspeak, and those who PURCHASED their software. It's sickening.
Sanctioned Groundspeak 3rd party apps are getting a raw deal, and now the purchasers of their software want their money back. Can you blame them? They have the option of not paying at all and getting different software and get EVERYTHING WITHOUT LIMITS.
Where is Groundspeak here? Why are they enforcing a contract and a set of rules on people that are PAYING, and doing nothing to stop those that are FREELOADING?
THIS SUCKS.
(Edit: spelling only)
1) You get what you pay for. I don't think a Ford Dealer will do warranty work on a Honda unless he is a Honda dealer too.
2) You work for Groundspeak? You seem to KNOW a lot about what they do. Since you are an EXPERT software developer send your resume to Groundspeak and help them out.
What's up with trying to log a cache?
