Also, why do they put two buttons on a car remote control fob? One button would be a lot easier. If the car's locked, press button and it opens. If it's open press same button and it locks. Simple.

There is a reason why they use two buttons. It's because of the "bouncing" effect of all mechanical switches.

Bouncing is the tendency of any two metal contacts in an electronic device to generate multiple signals as the contacts close or open

So when you press ones, it it might register as being pressed and released and pressed again,and released, and so on. So if you have only one button to both unlock and lock, and it's not "debounced" you would get very frustrated when you try to go in your car. Instead of adding a debouncing circuit, two buttons are used to fix that problem. They still bounce, but they do nothing. Some remotes might only use one button if they debounce the switch, but its easier and cheaper to use two switches. Plus some people would get confused with only one button :)
I should add that the bouncing occurs in the millisecond range.

debouncing is any kind of hardware device or software that ensures that only a single signal will be acted upon for a single opening or closing of a contact.
It's cheaper to debounce a switch than to add another, the reason they have two is to differentiate locking and unlocking.

Ipad has to be the winner, take a low power computer, remove half of it's functionality, make it as impractical as possible and treble it's price - there are some proper stupid cunts in the world.

your left with a sense of woeful inadequacy as you throw it to the back of the cupboard, along with your brawn 'hand blender'.

I've got one of those things, used it once then put it away.
I just did cheese but now you've opened a whole new recipe book for me.
I'm getting it out now.
Most useless pile of shit? The clapper. Honestly, google it, it sucks. My sister gets me all these things as she is loopy. The slap chop, and the sham wow are pretty lame too

get some of those tortilla breads and make a wrap filling it with any kind of cooked meat, salsa sauce, a bit of grated cheese, salad of your choice and put it in the toastie for a couple of minutes..

absolutely fucking delicious.
