They can't just email it to you? 
Why isn't it online in the first place?
The apocalypse isn't upon us, they just needed about a 100 years to streamline the manual and snail mail process.
They're still 20 years behind in the digital age though

The form itself is online as a PDF - but it has to be completed on paper, and sent in with supporting original documents, not scans or copies.
The "get them to post it to you" version includes a pre-paid envelope with the address - and the address bit is completely missing from the online version

And you are feeling copasetic about sending your original documents on the hope that they will send them back? I know I was somewhat anxious about that when I did my first passport, lo these many years ago.

Frankly, the fact that it doesn't need to be faxed is mildly amazing.

For that service, I'd have to call back twice more to the the Form Request Form in triplicate.

That's the least of all problems. Just google 'Kotzhügel' and you will see what I mean.

I believe their thinking is more in the line with "Why not".

I would agree. Their kickstarter asked for $15K and they have already raised $55K so somebody out there wants one.

I'm a rocket scientist not a doctor but even I can see the flaw in this claim:
Quote: "...people with gingivitis and periodontitis have a mortality rate that is 23 percent to 46 percent higher than those who don't" Dr. Roisen M.D. author of "RealAge"
Methinks that both groups have a 100% chance of snuffing it regardless of useless gadget ownership.

So someone came up with this, but still nothing to tell me when the washing machine is done.

Mine beeps.
And if I'm not home it won't matter anyway.

The washer and dryer are in the basement. I never hear them beep. Be nice to also just know where the cycle is at without having to go check on them (in case I want to leave the house, why leave if its has 5 minutes to complete?).

Haven't you watched the ads on the idiot box? Samsung (I think) makes a USB dongle for you washer (it does have USB port, right)that texts you when it is washing, spinning, remaining time in cycle, all that stuff. Ditto for the dryer

That's odd, it looks like that salt shaker. I wonder how many different products can be put into the same form factor.

Hi All,
Had an interesting weekend, to say the least. First my Dad's had his Birthday which leads to my Uncle and Aunt visiting my parents. To say there is some friction all sharp/heavy items are moved or hidden to make the area safe around them. That went OK. It's all looking up I thought, then looking through Farce Book, I have an invite from a friend (we went to school together) to his funeral! Now thats odd I think contact his brother and it turns out to be true(feeling a bit guilty for picking on him)! He died in sleep I am told. So  he is a month younger than me. I am now getting worried. I always thought I was in the ' mean time between failure ', old enough to know better, young enough no to care.
