+MaxEntropy Posted January 13, 2003 Posted January 13, 2003 Of interest to most of you... http://foxnews.com/story/0,2933,75343,00.html I use NIMH in my GPS, but having lots of electronics and two kids, I'm celebrating. C'mon price wars... Mickey Max Entropy More than just a name, a lifestyle. Quote
+pater47 Posted January 13, 2003 Posted January 13, 2003 I'll just keep ordering mine from Homier at 7.2 cents each! They last seven or eight hours, which is good for a full day of caching. And at the end of the day, I don't worry about having to recharge - I just throw away 2 bits worth of batteries and put in 2 bits worth of batteries.

No hard feelings Personally, I use a solar powered battery recharger that is manufactured by "Silva" - it's a really nifty piece of kit, mostly because I am so impressed at how well it works in the British climate. Recharges batteries, mobile phones, keeps car batteries charged up, infact, it takes care of most things. Best value energy (ecologically, and financially) that I've come across. ------ An it harm none, do what ye will Quote

+CCrew Posted January 13, 2003 Posted January 13, 2003 But considering I run all of Gillette's WWW presence, I'd just consider it a perk :-) What's actually hysterical is that one of the big traffic users to the Duracell site is Eveready! Sometimes a majority only means that all the fools are on the same side Quote

It sounds like something I could use on my week long camping trips. Wyatt W. The probability of someone watching you is directly proportional to the stupidity of your actions. Quote

Certainly you wouldn't argue that a square mile of discarded batteries buried underground is equivalent to a square mile of pristine, mother-nature born topsoil... would you? Arguing that burying a battery in a landfill is "recycling" is like arguing swallowing plutonium is "eating." While it may be "eating" in a technical sense, logically, it's "poisoning."
