From an ecohydrology perspective, I have a few issues with the description. Although a portion of the water that "wastefully coats" the leaves does evaporate, some of it does reach the soil via stemflow. Some plants are also able to take up water through its leaves via foliar uptake.

Additionally, the water intercepted by the canopy can help cool the leaves when it evaporates, which isn't particularly wasteful.

Length in title would be nice.

@slapo12: I would agree for the most part, but when it comes to certain plants, such as roses, watering the foliage can lead to blackspot or other problems. The humidity down here is so high that I gave up on growing roses years ago. I hate all of the spraying of nasty smelling stuff just to fight off blackspot. Now I'm wondering whether I could have avoided it more by having one of these.

@iguana71: You're right, I guess I could have included that information. Posting deals here is somewhat like parenting. I never seem to get it all done in a way that makes everyone happy. However, if you don't care to click on the post to see that information (which I did include in the body of the post), you can just scroll over it and the information shows up.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
