 The Chevy Volt - would you buy one? | |
Jul 28, 2010 - 7:18 AM - by lotuseclat79 | 
Last night on the local news, I saw a piece on the new Chevy Volt - it will cost a buyer $41,000 to purchase one. 
Electric cars at that price are an oxymoron intended for morons that just want to throw their money away. Auto manufacturers should take a lesson from ol' Henry Ford whom manufactured the Model-T for the common buyer. Auto manufacturers must think the common buyer is made of moneybags, eh?
Given the tightness of money during these recessionary times, and the actual lack of jobs - I'll pass - thank you very much!

i was wondering the other day.
the software provider which came with my computer from time to time offers free updates. for the most parts i gladly accept.
so i was curious with these these free updates do i need to go to their website and get the up grades or are they already given to me?
so, i went to their website and asked their "off shore" technical department my question.
they asked me for basic information. which i gave. i had no problem with this, since they came from the software providers website.
after a very quick scan they noted i had several viruses on my computer and promptly asked for a credit card number.
i told them i did not think this was possible. i had installed anti-virus software from the software provider and i had that which was provided by the manufacture of my computer. they had not indicated any problems.
they informed me that the anti-virus software provided by the software company and manufacture were totally inadequate. again, they asked me for my credit card number.
i just hung up.
i decide it was best to run a full scans using the antivirus software provided.
almost immediately i started getting virus attach notices.
the software provided by the manufacture crashed...died completely. the software provided by the software company kept running. it did indicate a problem existed and would clarify it at the end of the scan.
eventually, i was able to contact (through thier website) the software company provide by the manufacture. they opened a chat line and went to work on the problem.
problem resolved?
what happened to me maybe totally coincendental, but ..i would like to compliment my software provider on thier exemplary choice of "off shore" technical support.
nobody has yet to answer my inital question...

Jul 28, 2010 - 6:16 AM - by lotuseclat79 | FCC, public safety at odds over broadband plan.
Two years ago, the Federal Communications Commission stumbled as it tried to create a nationwide wireless broadband network for police officers, firefighters and emergency medical workers, delaying the construction of what everyone agrees is an urgently needed system.
Now the agency is hoping to rework the plan, which relies on a prime slice of airwaves called the D Block. But many public safety officials say the commission is, once again, going about it the wrong way.
