9 Minute Snooze Alarm

9 Minute Snooze Alarm

Ever wonder why alarm clock snooze alarms are 9 minutes? I did, so I did a little looking around, and come to find out its just so the only digit that has to be watched is the last digit, if the alarm goes off at 9:05 the longest time you can get just looking at the last digit is 9:14, if you did 9:25 the last digit would still be a 5 and the alarm would ring right away so 9 minutes allows for the longest allowed with just one digit being watched, and it allows me to learn how to multiply by 9 while half a sleep

Wanting a Cell Phone that Just Makes Calls

Tagged:

So my buddy Dave has expressed to me numerous times how he wants a cell phone that just makes calls. His reasons are that he doesn't use the other features that cell phones have and if he found a cell phone that just made calls, and did it well, he would be happy. Understandably so. The cell phones you can purchase now are horrible for other functions. I have a Motorrola Razr from T-Mobile that does not include physical addresses in with the contact information. My wife has a Razr as well from Verizon with the same problem.

Hard Drive Failure

I doubt there will be much of a joust on this topic but I still want to vent on the subject. Is it just me or are the amount of drive failures skyrocketing lately?
