		<description><![CDATA[Question: My question is regarding cell phones and their associated chargers. Just for the sake of argument, let&#8217;s assume I leave my cell phone on the charger for 12 hours every day. And every day it only takes 3 hours to charge the battery in the cell phone. Am I doing anything long term that will shorten [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Question: How much electricity does a condo use in kwh (kilo-watt hours)? What does it cost? Would you consider giving me a hand or at least some advice based on your experience? Answer: I have no idea what your condo would use. However, there&#8217;s a way to find out: 1) Get the wattage stats from [...]]]></description>

Thanks so much! Answer: Recycling a copy machine? I&#8217;m not from that part of the state, so can&#8217;t give you very geographically-helpful advice! [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Question: No one can seem to tell me the difference between the two (45nm and x38)? What do these numbers mean, and are they both just CPU&#8217;s of different generations? I can&#8217;t seem to see these numbers in any specifications for processors, so how do you know which processors are which? I hope you can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Question: I&#8217;ve read about the &#8220;antenna booster sticker&#8221; but what about how well expensive antenna boosters work. Answer:  The type of product you linked to is an example of an cellphone range booster that does indeed work. These are essentially a powered antenna that plugs in directly to the cellphone&#8217;s external antenna port (not all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Question: I just read your review of the Treo 700W, as well as the Disgruntled comment.  While I am not un-sympathetic to your point about WM5&#8242;s battery monitor programs being comparable, it is worth mentioning that with Li-Ion batteries, they gain accuracy in their level reporting the more they have had their power cycled.  I [...]]]></description>

I am reasonably experienced in electrical matters, and I note that the sat-nav is powered at 5 volts. I also note that most sensors in engine management are also powered at 5 volts. Do ECU&#8217;s have a 5 volt bus that [...]]]></description>
