751.	Solve : A warning about Purolator?
Answer» Worst courier EVER. I ordered some RAM on Thursday, and it was supposed to be one day shipping because the STORE is in the same city as me. This is what they have so far for the tracking info: Today in the morning they call me saying how they need the buzzer # for my apartment and how the name on the shipping info is wrong. No one ever asked me for a buzzer code and the wrong name is a bunch of censored they are MAKING up because the driver is ILLITERATE or something and couldn't use the directory right beside the keypad downstairs to find my buzzer. Now they claim that it'll be here tomorrow, but after reading about other peoples experiences it probably won't be. (See here and here) Incompetent RETARDS Incompetent retards are still bieng incompetent retards..... Nothing CAME today, and when I called them they said that they tried to deliver it but no one was home and I was home all day... It actually got here today, although they still can't figure out how to use the buzzer, they delivered it to the super instead.lol they are retardsA company by the same name makes the worst automobile oil filters... I say we send the CEOs of both purolators to siberia for 30 years...sounds like funor, you know, we could just not do business with them...1st one sounds like more fun Exactly I've been waiting for you to say you got the wrong RAM! That, too! I say we send the CEO's off to Siberia...but then, what have you got against Siberia? (CEO's need to be more directly accountable for the inactions of their companies.)

759.	Solve : institute for human continuity?
Answer» I saw a commercial for this place about a lottery for surviving 2012. Now, when I went to sign up, I clicked on the privacy policy. It took me to some SONY site, which was the first thing that seemed a little strange. Next, when I clicked submit, a picture that looked like some sort of lottery ticket came up saying you have been entered into the ihc global lottery to select representatives from around the world to participate in a classified experiment. I sure didnt sign up to be in some experiment! I signed up to try to win some sort of spot in some sort of fire/radiation proof place! What do you think about it? EDIT: I did some googling and its just some sony thing to promote a movie. SONY SHOULD BE SUED!!!!! They put all this fake info and stuff there! censored ae you talking about i was fairly sure that was a movie comercalyep, this 2012 will be just as bad as Y2k. or the time the world ended in 1868. i agree with BC_p anyone with common sense knows the world will be fine in 2012http://www.december212012.com/articles/editors_notes/Is_the_world_really_going_to_end_on_December_21_2012.htm very interesting to read They say that the world will not completely end, but it is the end of like AS WE KNOW IT. Its really interesting to read. Lol"they say" "they say" over and over again. it doesn't matter WHO says WHAT... it's the future. it's beyond prediction. the sad part is- there will be the same number of "tragic" natural disasters as always- heck I remember there being at least one on the news every MONTH... at least, for as long as I remember. But anybody who reads this crap will staple it into their "OMG the sky is falling" bs reasoning to support otherwise unsubstantiated claims that predict the "future" by making equally vague suggestions that reflect basically the state of the world as it's always been, and once they have this ridiculous notion in their head they search for evidence to support it, not the other way around. So Of course when you have things like earthquakes, floods, etc in various parts of the world, people in some kind of existential quandary trying to bring purpose into their otherwise meaningless existence believe this ridiculous BS put it forth as "evidence" and you know what, this has been going on for ages. Others claim that the "9/11 attacks" were the catalyst for some form of world upheaval. Again. COMPLETE. AND. UTTER. BS. People forget too quickly that this world has been through TWO wars that occured on a GLOBAL scale and millions of people were killed, a few political boundaries were changed, and we try to remember this always to prevent it happening again... but aside from the mental IMPACT it didn't change a whole lot. World Power wasn't shifted. And these were GLOBAL wars... did I mention that? wars that involve the entire world? As in, not just the United States, which strangely enough os where most of these retarded ideas come from, which begs the question of wether the people making this crap up even understand that a "global" change involves the entire world. Basically the prediction amounts to saying, "we will experience changes. and stuff will happen." well guess what, they rely on the interpretive powers of everybody who has a mind open and dumb enough to shovel this crap into their likely restricted intellect and so they no longer need to search for proof- the people who want to will believe and will find these otherwise everyday events (Natural disasters happen everyday) to have some kind of significant meaning in the predictions made.

Answer» You should always try to avoid long sentences. In 2005, Halton Borough Council put up a notice to tell the public about its plans to move a path from one place to another. Quite astonishingly, the notice was a 630 word sentence, which picked up one of our Golden Bull awards that year. Here is it in full. 630 words 'A path from a point approximately 330 metres east of the most south westerly corner of 17 Batherton Close, Widnes and approximately 208 metres east-south-east of the most southerly corner of Unit 3 Foundry INDUSTRIAL Estate, Victoria Street, Widnes, proceeding in a generally east-north-easterly direction for approximately 28 metres to a point approximately 202 metres east-south-east of the most south-easterly corner of Unit 4 Foundry Industrial Estate, Victoria Street, and approximately 347 metres east of the most south-easterly corner of 17 Batherton Close, then proceeding in a generally northerly direction for approximately 21 metres to a point approximately 210 metres east of the most south-easterly corner of Unit 5 Foundry Industrial Estate, Victoria Street, and approximately 202 metres east-south-east of the most north-easterly corner of Unit 4 Foundry Industrial Estate, Victoria Street, then proceeding in a generally east-north-east direction for approximately 64 metres to a point approximately 282 metres east-south-east of the most easterly corner of Unit 2 Foundry Industrial Estate, Victoria Street, Widnes and approximately 259 metres east of the most southerly corner of Unit 4 Foundry Industrial Estate, Victoria Street, then proceeding in a generally east-north-east direction for approximately 350 metres to a point approximately 3 metres west-north-west of the most north westerly corner of the boundary fence of the scrap metal yard on the south side of Cornubia Road, Widnes, and approximately 47 metres west-south-west of the stub end of Cornubia Road be diverted to a 3 metre wide path from a point approximately 183 metres east-south-east of the most easterly corner of Unit 5 Foundry Industrial Estate, Victoria Street and approximately 272 metres east of the most north-easterly corner of 26 Ann Street West, Widnes, then proceeding in a generally north easterly direction for approximately 58 metres to a point approximately 216 metres east-south-east of the most easterly corner of Unit 4 Foundry Industrial Estate, Victoria Street and approximately 221 metres east of the most southerly corner of Unit 5 Foundry Industrial Estate, Victoria Street, then proceeding in a generally easterly direction for approximately 45 metres to a point approximately 265 metres east-south-east of the most north-easterly corner of Unit 3 Foundry Industrial Estate, Victoria Street and approximately 265 metres east of the most southerly corner of Unit 5 Foundry Industrial Estate, Victoria Street, then proceeding in a generally east-south-east direction for approximately 102 metres to a point approximately 366 metres east-south-east of the most easterly corner of Unit 3 Foundry Industrial Estate, Victoria Street and approximately 463 metres east of the most north easterly corner of 22 Ann Street West, Widnes, then proceeding in a generally north-north-easterly direction for approximately 19 metres to a point approximately 368 metres east-south-east of the most easterly corner of Unit 3 Foundry Industrial Estate, Victoria Street and approximately 512 metres east of the most south easterly corner of 17 Batherton Close, Widnes then proceeding in a generally east-south, easterly direction for approximately 16 metres to a point approximately 420 metres east-south-east of the most southerly corner of Unit 2 Foundry Industrial Estate, Victoria Street and approximately 533 metres east of the most south-easterly corner of 17 Batherton Close, then proceeding in a generally east-north-easterly direction for approximately 240 metres to a point approximately 606 metres east of the most northerly corner of Unit 4 Foundry Industrial Estate, Victoria Street and approximately 23 metres south of the most south westerly corner of the boundary fencing of the scrap metal yard on the south side of Cornubia Road, Widnes, then proceeding in a generally northern direction for approximately 44 metres to a point approximately 3 metres west-north-west of the most north westerly corner of the boundary fence of the scrap metal yard on the south side of Cornubia Road and approximately 47 metres west-south-west of the stub end of Cornubia Road.’ Anyhow I dont see you around MUCH P-wood is Robert a friend of yours or something?That is a great example of poor grammar.

Answer» I was going threw a box of old floppies and came across one I made, probably 9 years ago labeled "Elfbowl". I had to laugh when I plugged it in and up came the game. well the next, thing we're all sanding around the computer waiting for our turn. While there's many xbox and p2 games sitting on my SHELF, here we are gathered around playing a game that its software fits on a 1.5 Mb FLOPPY. However the new High Graphic games must have INFLUENCED our motives for playing elfbowl because, instead of trying to get a strike or spare, we're trying to kill the FROG or bonk the deer in the head with the ball. My how times have changed. ANYONE else remember this old classic? Or still have the program?Nostalgia at its best. Elfbowl and others are still available for download here.. Have fun..

If you don't like it you can't send it back
Just eat it, eat it, (woohoo) eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it (oh lord)
Have some more chicken,(woohoo) have some more pie (woohoo)
It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeat it (oh no)
Have a banana,(woohoo) have a whole bunch
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

How come you're always such a fussy young man?
<snipetts>

I think you copied that off a lyrical site... You know I always thought this Jimi Hendrix song was religious.

The wanting of Mary to come once again and have a baby Jesus.

Never heard it at church though,oh well.

"Jimi Hendrix - The Wind Cries Mary"

After all the jacks are in their boxes,
and the clowns have all gone to bed,
you can hear happiness staggering on down the street,
footprints dress in red.

And the wind whispers Mary.

A broom is drearily sweeping
up the broken pieces of yesterday's life.
Somewhere a Queen is weeping,
somewhere a King has no wife.

And the wind it cries Mary.

The traffic lights they turn blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed,
The tiny island sags downstream
'Cos the life that they lived is dead.

And the wind screams Mary.

Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past,
And with this crutch, its old age and its wisdom
It whispers, "No, this will be the last."

And The Wind Cries Mary.

797.	Solve : Protable speaker, Amazon Echo or Google Mini??
Answer» My PC has a lot of MP3 fiels and videos. Sometimes I would like to listen to my stuff while ssomewhere else in the huse. I don't have a bluetooth headset. Not yet. I would rather have a portable speaker. So whill looking at reviews on the Google mini, I see a ad that SAYS the Amazon Echo is more popular. Why? Rather than sort through the ADS, I am asking you PEOPLE for an honest anser. Shoul I go with the Amazon device or the Google thing? Or many neither one? Thanks in advance. *Food for Thought...Both of those are "home assistant" type devices, their PRIMARY function isn't really to be used as a speaker. They can both play music from streaming services like Spotify however neither support playback of MP3s stored locally on a PC. If you want to play your MP3 collection without paying for a subscription streaming service and don't need the home assistant functionality you'd probably be better off loading the music onto a smartphone and then getting a simple bluetooth speaker to use with it.Thank you both. Now I have sometnhing to think about. After giving it some thought, I might just wait awhile. Or just use the bluetooth speaker I already have. But it does not take commands.* Cause yer askin them to do something they don't///you need to decide.Well, what I would like is an inteligent device that would understand tha t I do not want to ever hear nay more Marty Robins songs. Do they have something like that? A personal DJ in a can? I don't have any Apple devices other than my old iPhone. iOS 11: How to Use Siri’s “Personal DJ” Feature I doubt taht would work, I have an iPhone 4.

798.	Solve : Technology Destroys the Automatic Transmission Myths.?
Answer» OK, this is off topic. I just learned taht what I had been told about automatic ttrnsmissions in automobiles is now a myth. Like the dodo bird. Sowhat next? What else will change? Anyway, here is one of many links about the shft (excuse the pun) away from the manual TRANSMISSION: Five Myths About Stick Shifts: Manual vs Automatic Transmissions Quote The stick shift hasn't yet gone the way of the passenger pigeon and the dodo, but it's definitely an endangered species. As of August 2013, just 3.9 percent of new cars sold for the year had manual transmissions. Hard to believe! Next: Will poloticians be honest? Will Coffee be better for you than water? Will smart phones be better than desktops? Two out of the three above might becme true. Regardless of the myths, I'd field a guess that Manual Transmission cars could reduce accidents, by somewhat discouraging the use of smart devices.Yeah when getting my last car, I asked if they had manual transmission cars available and none were on the lot. Everything automatic. I asked why. Their claim is that so many people dont know how to drive standard. If I really wanted standard I could have special ordered a model that still had it as an option, but I settled for an automatic they had on the lot. Where I live there is not much stop & go traffic as well as lots of hills and so manual transmissions are nice and you can use them to save from burning up your brakes by using the engine to break the car down hills etc especially during winter weather to coast with some resistance down a hill etc. Most modern automatics have electronic shift controls and so people who still want to be able to shift can shift without a clutch, just by directly controlling the solenoids that control the modern automatics. My Honda Civic EX VTEC had a transmission that I was tempted to override the shift controls in it with a joy stick short of shift control, but the car died before I made it a reality. Its like the sports cars with paddle shifting on steering wheels for shifting up and down gears which the transmission is automatic. My other thing I wanted to do, but never did was have a switch on my DASH to enable VTEC at will vs when the computer wanted it to engage. There is a solenoid on the aluminum head that has oil pressure behind it. When it opens oil pressure presses on pins on the overhead cams and it makes the engine run on a second set of lobes that control valve duration. The valves stay open longer to get more fuel and air and it makes the fuel sipper 1.6 liter turn into a high performance engine putting out power close to a V6. One problem I realized with a toggle switch for solenoid was that the computer still would only be sending a short burst of fuel from the injectors and so i would have had to have a circuit board added that made the injectors open to spray fuel a tad more in addition to changing the valve duration and so thats why that didnt happen. Also had plans to cheat the O2 sensors too, but found out that is illegal. There is cheaters for racing purposes, but they are illegal for cars on the main roads. I was going to cheat the O2 sensors and put a dump valve on the exhaust to make it very loud and lots of horse power, but decided i'm just going to leave it be vs get locked up for having an illegal non DOT approved car on the road. Had a 2003 Chevy Silverado with v8 require knock sensor replacement.... they buried the 2 sensors under the intake manifold to where you have to take the intake manifold off to get to them. I traded that truck for the 2016 Hyundai Elantra that i have now because in addition to the knock sensors being bad, the truck also had frame rot and a torsion bar was half rotted through and drivers side leaf spring broke where it acts like a trail arm so accelerating you felt the rear axle want to move forward under the truck and that put force on U-joint and transmission. It was messed up badly so I traded it. The Elantra has been a good car and with its 6-speed automatic very good gas mileage as well as the speedometer in it goes up to 160mph and if it wasnt for the shut off around 112mph it would probably top out around 130mph on a flat. Here is the dash the elantra has... and the 160 mph is just silly. You have to put out serious horsepower to push past the 130mph barrier, and I doubt this 1.8 liter would go past 130 mph. I have no way of testing it safely so I hypothesize about its top speed. Nor do I want to be in jail for going over twice the speed limit if governor cheated.

I don't have any issues with burning up the brakes with the combo i have.

Solve : Technology Destroys the Automatic Transmission Myths.?

Answer»

OK, this is off topic. I just learned taht what I had been told about automatic ttrnsmissions in automobiles is now a myth. Like the dodo bird.
Sowhat next? What else will change?
Anyway, here is one of many links about the shft (excuse the pun) away from the manual TRANSMISSION:

Five Myths About Stick Shifts: Manual vs Automatic Transmissions
Quote

The stick shift hasn't yet gone the way of the passenger pigeon and the dodo, but it's definitely an endangered species. As of August 2013, just 3.9 percent of new cars sold for the year had manual transmissions.

Hard to believe!
Next:
Will poloticians be honest?
Will Coffee be better for you than water?
Will smart phones be better than desktops?
Two out of the three above might becme true.
Regardless of the myths, I'd field a guess that Manual Transmission cars could reduce accidents, by somewhat discouraging the use of smart devices.Yeah when getting my last car, I asked if they had manual transmission cars available and none were on the lot. Everything automatic. I asked why. Their claim is that so many people dont know how to drive standard. If I really wanted standard I could have special ordered a model that still had it as an option, but I settled for an automatic they had on the lot.

The way to prevent this is to turn off firmware updates. The inks are NOT the intercultural property of the printer makers. That is a false claim. Otherwise the printer companies would have won in the court battles over this issue. The ink industry is very big and the printer companies are a drop in the bucket. (Pub intended,). The big ink makers will sell to anybody. Making ink is not a secret anybody. This use of organic materials is no longer as common as it used to be. The chemical formulations are known. HP has a patent. https://www.google.com/patents/US9133358 But that was in 2012 and does not prevent ink companies from use other formulations that perform as well as the HP ink. My take on this is that HP has told lies. Yes, they did apologize. Thanks, now I will wait for them to give me some free ink.

The biggest use of colour might be when they have to perform the "test print" every time they turn it on or reconnect it or something like that. I have a bunch of printers in my home / home-office (laser & inkjet). The inkjets are all Epson and the lasers are HP's. In fact just got a great new HP network printer (LaserJet Pro M402dw). Inexpensive and outstanding performance. In my workplace we had a bunch of fairly old HP laser printers, six mono and one very big colour model (we called this one 'the mammoth'). They were quite noisy, they used to clank and rattle, but boy could they churn out the work. They hardly ever went wrong, and when they did, it was usually a simple jam which I could clear myself. About 3 years ago the senior management declared a "sustainable printing initiative". Away went the old HPs. I bet they got sold on and are probably serving very well somewhere. In their place came one single mono printer and a huge MFD that everyone insists on calling 'the photocopier'. As for the mono printer, when I die and go to censored I am sure i will find a Xerox Phaser 4600 waiting for me. It went wrong for the 3rd time in 2 months (I keep a log) with the same fault today. The toner cartridges leak and when it gets on a certain optical sensor, it thinks there is a paper jam and the whole censored thing locks up. The maintenance guy who came out on a 24-hour service level call said he loves these printers as they keep him in a job. They are supposed to order their own consumables over the network but you call the service desk and give the printer asset number and the Xerox guy says we can't have any toner because the printer says it has 20% left. I say 'It's bloody run out!' and he says 'do you want me to escalate this?' and I say 'Yup' and his manager says 'I'll send you 2 cartridges'. It turns out they bill the (government) organisation for each call and get extra for an escalation. Also the instructions from the 'sustainable' guys we got when they came said 'never, ever disconnect the printer from the network or power it down!' The first thing the helpdesk guys say is 'pull out the power and network cables, wait 5 minutes and put them back'. I have an HP colour laser that I am very happy with, I've had it 2 years and it's still on the original toner set. I know where to get 3rd party replacements at 50% of the HP price. I'll never buy an inkjet again, and I'll stick with HP for lasers. I have a colour laserjet myself (Laserjet Pro MFP n276nw), which is also multi-function- scanning has been useful on a few occasions. I replaced the toner cartridges once, but I think I did so prematurely, as it was still printing fine at the time (I kept the old cartridges, too). I'd expect it would be possible to find older HP Laserjet printers for relatively cheap or even being given away, possibly even at a price point similar to an inkjet.Good idea. But first I think I will call HP at (844) 592-4204 or (888) 511-0222 and hear what they might say. Will they roll back the firmware? The week my wife and I will take off an go somewhere, so I will not get back to this until next week. Meanwhile, the printer does black and white fine, but the color is much to dark. Quote from: BC Programmer have a colour laserjet myself (Laserjet Pro MFP n276nw) Mine's an M251nw, essentially the same machine but with no scanner. It's a bit of a hybrid concept - a small office/home office type of engine (30,000 pages per month) but with a very small (150 sheet) single paper tray. Reviews said it fell between two stools because of this. It came with 50% capacity starter cartridges - 800 page - and after 2 years the black is on 3% and the colour ones are all 42% - 45% left. I got it from Staples as ex-display, unused, no packaging, for 50 UK pounds, that's it, take it away. I am amazed to see Amazon UK has one seller listing it at 600 pounds new and 400 used. I can buy a lot of 3rd party toner out of that price difference, and if the fuser or something goes kaput I'll just get it hauled away and hunt for another bargain.

Here is the issue. After you buy the printer you get an update the claims to be security issue. That is not true. The only purpose of the update is to steer you away from their-party inks. The way to prevent this is to turn off firmware updates.

The inks are NOT the intercultural property of the printer makers. That is a false claim. Otherwise the printer companies would have won in the court battles over this issue.

The ink industry is very big and the printer companies are a drop in the bucket. (Pub intended,). The big ink makers will sell to anybody. Making ink is not a secret anybody. This use of organic materials is no longer as common as it used to be. The chemical formulations are known.

HP has a patent. https://www.google.com/patents/US9133358 But that was in 2012 and does not prevent ink companies from use other formulations that perform as well as the HP ink.

My take on this is that HP has told lies. Yes, they did apologize. Thanks, now I will wait for them to give me some free ink.

Laser printers are the way to go, IMO.

They are more expensive, as is the toner (but not always). However toner tends to last a lot longer, and you don't have to waste time and toner performing "alignments" or having to "clean the nozzles". it's also far less common for there to be any sort of DRM surrounding toner cartridges.

Inkjet makes colour more affordable. But monochrome laserjet printers are pretty affordable and I think a lot of people fall into the trap of "Yeah, I might want to print photos" so they get an inkjet, but all they really do is print off things like tax forms. The biggest use of colour might be when they have to perform the "test print" every time they turn it on or reconnect it or something like that.

I have a bunch of printers in my home / home-office (laser & inkjet). The inkjets are all Epson and the lasers are HP's. In fact just got a great new HP network printer (LaserJet Pro M402dw). Inexpensive and outstanding performance. In my workplace we had a bunch of fairly old HP laser printers, six mono and one very big colour model (we called this one 'the mammoth'). They were quite noisy, they used to clank and rattle, but boy could they churn out the work. They hardly ever went wrong, and when they did, it was usually a simple jam which I could clear myself. About 3 years ago the senior management declared a "sustainable printing initiative". Away went the old HPs. I bet they got sold on and are probably serving very well somewhere. In their place came one single mono printer and a huge MFD that everyone insists on calling 'the photocopier'.

As for the mono printer, when I die and go to *censored* I am sure i will find a Xerox Phaser 4600 waiting for me. It went wrong for the 3rd time in 2 months (I keep a log) with the same fault today. The toner cartridges leak and when it gets on a certain optical sensor, it thinks there is a paper jam and the whole *censored* thing locks up. The maintenance guy who came out on a 24-hour service level call said he loves these printers as they keep him in a job. They are supposed to order their own consumables over the network but you call the service desk and give the printer asset number and the Xerox guy says we can't have any toner because the printer says it has 20% left. I say 'It's bloody run out!' and he says 'do you want me to escalate this?' and I say 'Yup' and his manager says 'I'll send you 2 cartridges'. It turns out they bill the (government) organisation for each call and get extra for an escalation. Also the instructions from the 'sustainable' guys we got when they came said 'never, ever disconnect the printer from the network or power it down!' The first thing the helpdesk guys say is 'pull out the power and network cables, wait 5 minutes and put them back'.

I have an HP colour laser that I am very happy with, I've had it 2 years and it's still on the original toner set. I know where to get 3rd party replacements at 50% of the HP price. I'll never buy an inkjet again, and I'll stick with HP for lasers.

I have a colour laserjet myself (Laserjet Pro MFP n276nw), which is also multi-function- scanning has been useful on a few occasions.

I replaced the toner cartridges once, but I think I did so prematurely, as it was still printing fine at the time (I kept the old cartridges, too).

I'd expect it would be possible to find older HP Laserjet printers for relatively cheap or even being given away, possibly even at a price point similar to an inkjet.Good idea.
But first I think I will call HP at (844) 592-4204 or (888) 511-0222 and hear what they might say. Will they roll back the firmware?
The week my wife and I will take off an go somewhere, so I will not get back to this until next week. Meanwhile, the printer does black and white fine, but the color is much to dark.

Mine's an M251nw, essentially the same machine but with no scanner. It's a bit of a hybrid concept - a small office/home office type of engine (30,000 pages per month) but with a very small (150 sheet) single paper tray. Reviews said it fell between two stools because of this. It came with 50% capacity starter cartridges - 800 page - and after 2 years the black is on 3% and the colour ones are all 42% - 45% left. I got it from Staples as ex-display, unused, no packaging, for 50 UK pounds, that's it, take it away. I am amazed to see Amazon UK has one seller listing it at 600 pounds new and 400 used. I can buy a lot of 3rd party toner out of that price difference, and if the fuser or something goes kaput I'll just get it hauled away and hunt for another bargain.
