"An" is used before a "vowel sound". "Hour" starts with an "o" sound, so it is preceded by "an". "Useless" starts with a "y" sound, and even though "y" can be used as a vowel, the normal sound of a "y" is a consonant sound like "your" or "year". Therefore, "useless" is preceded by "a", just like "a year".
And no, there are no exceptions to this rule. A/An is not determined by letters, it is determined by sounds. It is easier to say "an octopus" than it is to say "a octopus", because when saying the latter, you are making two different back to back vowel sounds.

Here is the code on your 'Reply' link:
onclick="replyToCmt("11448919","johnny5");"
Surprisingly, you cannot use double-quotes within double-quotes, because that confuses the browser. Please change this code to:
onclick="replyToCmt('11448919','johnny5');"
You know how i figured that out? I didn't even have to use firebug. It's a nice little thing called 'View Source'. You should try it sometime...

So let me get this straight... You are saying that if you could write to dvd's, then they would be easier to copy? Interesting... Maybe you should take some schooling on the concept of reading data vs writing data.
As for packetsniffer, I have no quarrel with you... you are completely right, I just had to kick this other idiot.

Helio offering unlimited everything for $99 a month {Engadget Mobile}
Feb 6th 2008 4:31PM "The only people who are willing to pay for $99/mo or more for unlimited service are either doing a LOT of travel to rural areas, minor cities, or the few major cities Metro doesn't support ... or they've got their head buried in the status-symbol sand and aren't looking for actual deals."
Or they actually LIVE in 'rural areas, minor cities, or the few major cities Metro doesn't support,' which is WAY more often than not the case.
Saying that this is expensive just because there is a local service available to you that is less is like Bill Gates saying, "You can't afford a Ferrari? WTF!? My dog's glass nut cost more that a Ferrari!" or Muhammed saying, "What?! People actually pay for oil? That black *&^* that all over the place here? That's like paying to breathe!"
I'm just saying that while this may not be news for you, it is news for the 90% of us who aren't in the same situation as you.
