Nope, I enjoy it. Women are too much time, money and bulls*it and not worth it.

Somewhat agreed there. I have pretty much figured out the definition of the term "real man" as they use it pretty much means "man with tons of money and materialistic possessions". It saddens me.
My friends tried to hook me up with someone a couple days ago that actually said they were just looking for their sugar daddy. Her words were "All I want is my sugar daddy to take care of me so I don't have to work." I was drunk, so I started laughing hysterically. I probably should have been more subtle, but seriously.... fvck that.what in the 9 circles of hell is that? It's been a while, but I believe it was simply called a "water bug" and those things on its back are its eggs.[QUOTE="cd_rom"]Not a spider, but this is a classic. almasdeathchild
The answer is "kind of". When a cell phone is turned off, it takes a lot of battery power to turn it back on. The CPU has to run full blast to start up all the services. The battery gets drained because the phone has to find the closest cell tower. If you have any other stuff enabled like GPS, then it has to set that up. That said, whether or not it's more efficient to leave it on or not is entirely dependent on how long you turn it off. All night, I'm assuming would be about 8 hours. Some phones go in to this super-sleep type mode where it only turns off the most draining features after a set period of time. In that case, the battery is barely being sucked down at all and the phone is pretty efficient, so turning it off is worse. Slightly older models from like 2-3 years ago don't do this, so it's probably best to turn them off.OK thanks everyone for the answers. My other question is whether I should turn my phone off at night, or if I should just leave it turned on? I heard turning it off wastes more energy, but that seems a little silly to me. Can anyone tell me if thats true?

"Battery memory" was a problem in the past. Batteries would die faster if you started charging them before the battery was at 10%. Some of the oldest models would "overcharge" but that was solved long ago. Today, most phones use lithium batteries which don't have that problem anymore. They do die gradually over time but it's not because of charging wrong. All the notions you hear today are just die-hard rules.
