- Simply the easiest and QUIETEST humidifier around
This is simple to use and reliable. The library quietness makes it all the better. I have had others that can make a high hissing noise when you raise the humidity controls. Long lasting is another key factor. Getting another before I can't find it again!

Rating:

- Excellent Purchase!
I have had no complaints about this humidifier. It is easy to set up, use, and clean. My sinus problems have decreased by at least 60% since I started using this product. I'm pregnant and cannot use drugs like Sudafed to decrease congestion so this humidifier has been a lifesaver.

- still working perfectly after 5 years!
I bought my machine 5 years ago, and used it daily throughout the winter heating seasons. I loved the fact that I could set humidity, and the water in the tank is more than enough to last the whole night (I set humidity to 50). It has been a miracle worker for my dry skins. I no longer have dry patches.

It has been easy to clean (I clean it once every 3 weeks. I am very busy, so I don't clean as often as I should). And it works as well today as it did 5 years ago. I loved it so much that I immediately recommended it to my friends after 1 month's usage. They bought it 5 years ago, and their machines are working perfectly today.

I never bothered to review this machine until I saw quite a few people said that their mahcine broke quickly. I want to point out that those people whose machine worked well for many years probably didn't bother to write a review for an old product because it was bought too long ago and they considered it quite normal for the machine to work (nothing to write about). The people whose machine broke quickly will almost always submit a review to express their dissatisfaction. Online reviews are almost never representative of the whole spectrum of opinions. The people who are very dissatisfied are almost always over-represented. So keep that in mind when you read reviews. I am happy with my machine, but I don't know how reliable this brand is overall or if there is any change in management or quality control in recent years.

- the humidifier humidifies
I am pleased with my HWM255. My unit does it's job for me.
1) I've used it for a few years now and it hasn't broken down.
2) The tank is large enough to run overnight without need to refill.
3) The low setting is just right in keeping my room humidity up.
4) Low maintenance. I rarely clean it and no slime or whatever has come. I also rarely clean the element too. Still works fine. I am surprized others call it high maintenance.
5) Steam! no fan needed so it is very quiet - no problems sleeping with it on. Also, steam is more sanitary than other types.
6) Shuts-off automatically when water runs out.

However, i only give it 4 stars as a recommendation to others because:
7) the humidity reader/display never worked correctly. I personally don't care that it doesn't work. However, if someone decides to buy because of that function, they will be disappointed. I may be fortunate that the low setting works well for me so i don't need it to manage the humidity for me.

- Great when it works, did not last past 2 years!
When it worked, and I had this for just under 2 years, it was great, the steam was nice, I used it to steam up my bathroom and my face, but when it stopped working (I think the fuse popped), I was so disheartened. I really expected a nice Honeywell product to last longer. Will not buy this again. Two years not long enough!

Satellite Collision May Have Endangered All Future Space Launches [Space]

Remember when those two satellites collided the other day? Seems that they'll be the space junk gift that keeps on giving, as their 800-km debris orbiting field could hamper all future space launches.

"Future launches will have to be adjusted with regard to the fact that the debris [from the collision] has spread over an 800-km area and will gather at a common orbit in 5-6 years," said Alexander Stepanov, director of the Pulkovo Observatory in St. Petersburg.

According to NASA this massive cloud of human failure joins the 19,000 other objects that currently pollute the low and high orbit space around the planet. As we reported last week, the Hubble Space Telescope is already in danger.

On a related note, anyone who criticized the Pixar movie Wall-E for "liberal bias" or for "unfairly" depicting future humans as slovenly creatures that polluted Earth and space to the point where it was uninhabitable is a dufus. And so ends my personal rant for the day. [Space Fellowship]

The W3C Multimodal Interaction working group has posted the finished recommendation of EMMA: Extensible MultiModal Annotation markup language.

The W3C Multimodal Interaction working group has posted the finished recommendation of EMMA: Extensible MultiModal Annotation markup language. According to the abstract, this spec "provides details of an XML markup language for containing and annotating the interpretation of user input. Examples of interpretation of user input are a transcription into words of a raw signal, for instance derived from speech, pen or keystroke input, a set of attribute/value pairs describing their meaning, or a set of attribute/value pairs describing a gesture. The interpretation of the user's input is expected to be generated by signal interpretation processes, such as speech and ink recognition, semantic interpreters, and other types of processors for use by components that act on the user's inputs such as interaction managers."
