Yes, much cheaper in the US and a lot more resources for the money.<P> It sounds like GSA needs to move from being a community service to an association. Setting up an association is not a significant task and it will receive an ABN for tax purposes. <p> It will require, however, more work to 'maint...

When we started geocaching we found several of the plastic box caches with cracked lids (from rocks being dropped on them whilst being re-hidden) and lids not re-attached properly. The contents were badly damaged by moisture and the occasional slug. :)<P/> So we put together our caches using PVC pip...

I've used this one to test speeds to different parts of the US.

Looking at some of the results, I have a feeling that there's some kind of ISP caching that might be making the numbers higher than they really are.

I think the hand off is a good idea, as well as The Rats recent method of securing the coin in resin and fixing it to the cache as a discover only coin. having said that I would hope that these practices remained the exception and were reserved for special coins or special missions. (And as for "fa...

I had one that sheared off completely. GME quote about $35 for a replacement, which I thought was a bit steep. Interestingly Wes components in Sydney have a bunch of mobile phone clips that use the same button/clip arrangement for attaching to a belt, and they are only a few dollars. I don't know ho...

Re: squashed
Need a licence to fish, a licence to pick up rocks, a licence to own a dog. Won't be long before you need a licence to cache (after having attended a Government-approved training course at your expense) ...pprass wrote:And as you say - the fun police will soon be after us.

Sounds like poor security using stereotypes.<p> If someone wanted to wreak havoc, they don't have to act 'suspiciously'. Simply dress as a business person and board a peak-hour train with a briefcase full of explosives. <p> So does that mean that every business person on a crowded train carrying a b...

Unless you were to have the purchaser sign an EULA which denies the right to transfer ownership I doubt whether there's anything you can do. <p> Notwithstanding the fact that the licence agreement may be contradictory to the consumer protection laws in the country of the purchaser, which could rende...

Evap coolers don't work very well when there's high humidity, since the high level of moisture in the air prevents further evaporation. A/C that uses a heat pump is still very efficient compared to other forms of heating and cooling. The problem is, too many people have it on ridiculously cold tempe...
