Nothing. I have everything i need in life.
I'll be giving every single penny i have left in my Bank account to charity as usual and doing the yearly run to the charity shop to donate clothes, books.. and anything else i'm not using myself anymore.*
* I can't stand having a positive bank balance. It doesn't benefit anybody!

I'm piss poor, believe me! Some years i only have pennies to give. Some years i have $$. I try not to be lavish through the year so that i have as much as i can left over. Most years i give to homeless shelters but this year i'm giving to Great Ormond Street Hospital.
I wish i could do more. Bill Gates is my personal hero. Not for what he's done for the tech community, but for his philanthropy. He's literally saved thousands of lives already.

@DirkGently
I must say I highly respect the giving to charity bit

I've been thinking about the flyer myself although you can't buy it from best buy anymore.. since none of the stores have it, won't get it shipped there and they won't ship it to you.. Yet they still leave the "add to cart" option as if it is in stock..
Now I'm considering the Acer Iconia a100 although I've heard it sucks for ereading.. Just don't want to spend more than 300$

Does the USA only have semi-trucks?

This is something I've always wondered. In many movies and shows I've watched about USA, I've only seen semi-trucks and semi-trailers. Kenworth, Peterbilt etc.
Do you have anything similar to this scania truck?
That truck and trailer has a maximum weight of 60.000 kilos here in Sweden (and Finland), but possibly less world-wide.

We have some decent ones.

They don't only has those trucks.
They have something called "cars" aswell. Mind blowing news really

Just a heads up but the internet recently added a magical feature called a search engine. Typical search engines include, but are not limited to, Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

In America trucks come fresh out of the factory with these installed

well we do have the rigs with the dual split trailers like that, though not as common as our standard truck with out the split. we don't have any that look like the front of the one in your picture though, even if ours have the split trailer it's still the standard truck pulling it.

I have searched, a lot, over the years and I have only come across semi-truck. That kinda answers my question? Ah well. My second question is why.
Is it because of the weight limits? Narrower roads? I don't get it, because I'd like to think a truck+trailer could haul more load (volume) than a semi-trailer.

All of our roads here have weight limits, so that is probably a factor.

We have weight limits too, but a bit over 90 percent are 60 tonnes roads. But, my point is, a truck and trailer like we have don't just haul a lot of weight-goods. It can also load a lot of volume. More so than a semi-trailer.
Know what I'm saying?

They call them box trucks from the looks of things, although it seems Luton vans would be included in that name.
A separate tractor unit that can haul different trailers is more versatile.
Also remember that traditionally American engines have to be huge to produce the equivalent power/torque to an European one, hence the jutting out nose of many of them. If fuel is ridiculously cheap there is no push for maximum efficiency, which allows for huge gas guzzling vehicles, while over in Europe where fuel has always been more expensive our vehicles are smaller and more efficient. Even some lorries now tow curved roof trailers to reduce drag.
Another reason for this is engine access. In Europe with the engine under the cab you have to tilt the cab forward to work on the engine and several mechanics have died by not securing it.

What are the lengths of the 2 trailers in the op? Our semi's are typically 53 foot trailers. They will also double up on 2 28 foot trailers. It's also common place here to see the trailers loaded onto trains to carry them across the country.
We also do have semi trucks with a flat nose like that and aerodynamics added to the top of the truck and/or trailer. What I don't see is where one of the trailers is connected to the cab, and it tows another one. We do use straight wall trucks like that some, but mostly for local P&D (pickup and delivery) rather than carrying goods over a distance.

And please, let's not turn this into a flame war over the pricing of some of their stuff. I for one would gladly pay 100+ for a Sector 5 version of the case for my Note 2 :victory::victory::victory:

Looks like some awesome design! I don't pay too much attention to price as long as it matches the quality.

I really hope they do, i've been looking for awhile and haven't found one i like

I thought the Eclipse case with the sound redirecting was ingenious but I'm not sure if that added any bulk to the case. Would be cool to have on our N2's as well though :good::fingers-crossed:

They would sell a lot of cases for our phone; people with the best phone, will pay up for top of the line products like this..

I'll be keeping an eye on this but no way in hell I'm going to pay over 100 for a case =O must be made of gold!!!!

I would be game for one of these, regardless of the price is the designs turn out as good as the S3.
Always looking for nice unique cases, ones that aren't at your local mall case vendor.

+1 for element, someone send them a link to this thread.
I paid £500 for my phone, I am not going to baulk at paying $100 for a case, I've got a cheap one at the moment to protect it while I look out for a quality case

Anyone have an update on this? I'd love to have one of their cases. I remember their original iphone cases and they were crazy back then too with a see through magnetic plastic screen cover. Coolest case ever.

I'm not selling a phone or a tablet or anything like that. I'm just wondering: If I started making a bunch of these, would there be a market? I made them for my girlfriend for various holidays (I made her the Jellybean one for Valentine's Day, actually) and I'm wondering if I should start making more and selling them.
I have no where else that I can think of to ask this. If it is indeed wrong to post here, feel free to post various spiderman memes and such.

What are these made of? If they are of something durable, then I would definitely them.

The little jelly bean one is kinda cool. little rough around the edges though. clean it up a bit, and i'll buy one.

As TheSkinnyDrummer said, it needs a bit of cleaning up. If that's done and has a great polish to it, it'll sell well. My friends and I are at a constant search for Android themed items

I want it

Depends how much and if it's durable. I've got a couple of key tags that aren't from a store, but are just cool lil trinkets.

Wow, so there is some interest!
They are, indeed, made from Shrink Plastic. They're pretty durable, coated on the front with a thick layer of plastic and on the back with an acrylic spray. I can't really see one getting broken, unless you were really trying intention.
And yeah, these were a little rough around the edges because I made them quickly, the night before I was supposed to give them to her. Not the best planner. The one's that I'd sell would be much neater.
What would you guys be willing to pay? $5-7? More, less?

I'd be willing to pay a couple bucks. But it always seems that things like this that are small and cool are much more than that.
