I just ran into: Ask Question & Experts Answer You ASAP! Name Your Price, Get Online Answers & Help - Just Answer! It appears to be a 'pay for advice' web site so I'm asking a question about OBD scanners and the 2001-03 Prius. For $15, it will satisfy my curiosity. But has anyone else used this service? Understand I have no problem with paying for useful information but I won't know until we see the response. But I was curious if anyone else has used it and your impression? Thanks, Bob Wilson
Well I got a follow-up question but it wasn't very . . . encouraging. Regardless, I answered and gave them my phone number if they want to 'talk about it.' Of course it is 'ego-stroking' to think my question might be . . . beyond their subject matter expertise. Might as well pose the 'Riemann hypothesis.' Or: Define the universe and give three examples Give the exact value of Pi ... show your work Bob Wilson
To infinity and beyond! (Haven't you ever seen Toy Story?) Yours, mine, and ours. 'Yours' is what you think it is, 'mine' is what I think it is, and 'ours' is one of those wave/cloud dualities that is both 'when our worlds collide' and 'the stars align', but obviously not at the same time. As for the exact value of pi, well, that's clearly impossible to answer. Pi are not squared, by the way, they are round. Plus, there are too many flavours.
I had already 'kissed off' the $15 and won't go back to that well. In all fairness, I pretty well knew the answer but wanted to find out if money made a difference . . . no it didn't. I've ordered a T605 via Ebay, a new scanner that claims to be Toyota specific. The posting site said '30 day' return but the seller claims '7 days.' Regardless, I can easily meet the '7 day' limit and have two scanners, Graham and Auto Enginuity, to compare the results. What amuses me is this puts a 'market value' on the technical postings at PriusChat. Actually, the technical postings at any open site. Bob Wilson
The exact value of pi is the ratio between the circumfrence (C) and diameter(d) of a perfect circle on a plane pi = C/d. It is also commonly defined as twice the smallest x for which cos(x) is zero.
