What Happens When A Road is Renamed?

11/28/08 13:17

When streets go renamed, it may turn out to be disadvantageous for people who regularly spread out their addresses for whatever purposes. When a street gets renamed QUIETLY, it may turn out to be chaotic--not only physically, but financially as well.

Sounds funny? That is what you think. You have the right to keep it. But these people don't think it is funny.

Annoyed man chases neighbor with bat

Some men could always find anger management lessons handy. Include this man among them.

A man from Worth was charged with aggravated assault after he tried to hit his neighbor with a bat due to his annoyance with that neighbor's dog. So instead of talking nicely to the neighbor and try to settle things, he decided to make things more rowdy.

Sucky Modem and USB_Modeswitch Annoyances

Many people that have switched from Windows to Linux have found it to be a breath of fresh air... unfortunately there are still a few annoyances one runs into with Linux from time to time.

Most of these related to hardware devices from clueless manufacturer... that not only don't offer drivers for Linux but also withhold the technical details that would make it easy for some geeks to write drivers (at not cost to the company). Why are these hardware manufacturers so intent on offending Linux users? Compare to say Abobe which offers Linux versions of their popular software!

Now comes a whole series of hardware devices that are especially annoying.. some USB G3/HSDPA modems. Linux seems to support the modem portion of these devices with little problem. WVDIAL with almost any configuration seems to get you online in an instant. There is just one catch!

Sarin Palin is a complete joke

I read in the newspaper today that Sarah Palin, most recently defeated in the Presidential election as the V.P> running mate to John McCain, had spoken to other republican governors trying to make sure the new democratic congress doesn't run amok. She is telling them they have to keep the democrats in line so they don't pass any laws that don't make sense to the republicans.

Does she, in fact, even know anything about anything? She threw some darts out there about president Elect Obama, as usual even in the race. She doesn't even measure up to his intellect enough to be his shoe shiner!

She also mentioned that she got to meet someone to had a big effect on society, Tina Fey. Doesn't she get it? Tina Fey mimicking Palin was one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. Why would she throw a crack out there at Fey, when she (Palin) is the butt of the joke?

Everyone likes Tina Fey. Nobody in their right mind could have a lick of faith in anything Sarah Palin says or does.

Warranty Work Must Not Be A High Priority At Dealerships

My car has been having trouble so I took it to my Ford Dealership to get a diagnostic. When I called to schedule the diagnostic, I didn't have a problem getting a speedy appointment. They diagnosed what "might be" the problem. I paid my bill and left.

After going to the part store to get exactly what mechanic told me, I installed the new parts. Still didn't fix my problem. So I had to go back for a second. Just like before, no problem getting in. This time the mechanic said the catalytic converter was shot. So I ordered the new converter through them and set up an appointment.
