iPad beta SDK cannot compile iPhone apps for distribution

Learned this the hard way... if you upgrade your Xcode to the iPad beta (iphone_sdk_3.2_beta_with_xcode_3.2.2.dmg), you cannot compile iPhone projects in distribution mode, even if you set the target device to 3.0/3.1.  I'm not 100% certain what build configuration flag is causing this to fail, but it compiles just fine in my other configurations.  I just downgraded my Xcode to the latest non iPad version (iphone_sdk_3.1.3_with_xcode_3.2.1__snow_leopard__10m2003a) to confirm this. And to think I blamed this on OSX migration (which caused other equally brain-melting experiences, but I digress)...

Die Xcode Die

I swear Xcode has wasted tens of hours of my productivity... I will probably need to allocate 5 hours or so tomorrow night to reinstall OSX on this computer.  I hate you Apple user migration tools.  Fool me once, shame on you, fool me three times, fuck you.

Energy surcharge is bullshit

I get water delivery through water.com, and each month they tack on $2 for "energy surcharge."  I don't mean to single them out, but every time I see this it pisses me off, not just because of the $24/yr more I'm paying than their advertised price, but because this is scammy business practice that simply must stop.

Ever since the gas price spiked in the early-00s, companies with delivery fees have been adding this charge - which is fine, if you honestly believe adding this "surcharge" is necessary to cope with a temporary situation.  However, by now you should know exactly how much you need to charge to stay in business.  That means my water delivery bill should not show up as $25.99 and $2 surcharge, you should go ahead and fucking charge me $27.99 - and advertise this as your price.  The only reason companies would still have an adjustment/surcharge for an event from several years ago is either you are 1) incompetently slow to react to changes, or 2) unethically gouging me.  Which is it, water.com and a lot of other companies?
