So you are invested in a major bank or financial institution. No? do you have money in a bank or financial institution? You have done your homework, you are certain you have made a good decision. But have you investigated things for yourself. Is their IT department and are their procedures up to snuff. Want to try a quick test? Do you have an account with them? Good! Lets pretend you forgot your password. So go to their site and go through the lost password procedure. We can wait....

So today was a Sunday like many others for us. We had a few items to pick up and we set out to take care of that. Little did we know some of the roller coasters we would encounter both good and bad. We left the house and headed to Douglasville. Stopped at HarborFreight Tools and got me a few things for some projects here. After that we headed to Bed Bath and Beyond but they hadn't opened yet (it was 11:00 and they dont open till noon here on Sunday)so my wife suggested we go to OfficeMax as she needed a chair to go with her new desk.

Office Max

With all the rumors flying around about Samsung and why they aren't providing updates to US phone owners, I would like to make a request of all of the sites providing quality Android coverage.

Stop doing product announcements, reviews, and leaks of Samsung devices.

I would like to encourage Mr. Perdue to please sign the bill HB89. As a concealed weapons permit holder I feel that my rights as a responsible adult are curtailed since I cannot carry into my workplace and cannot leave my weapon in my car.

That means from when I leave my home for work until I return home in the evening I am not able to protect my self should it be needed because of policies put in place by my employer that provide NO protections from a determined person who wishes to forcibly carry a gun into the workplace.

A recent blog post over on tuxmachines has me a bit torqued. Oddly enough it follows a similar thread in the PCLinuxOS forums. It has to do with the fact that the PCLinuxOS ISO is still dated 2007.

In a total marketing ploy of mathematical madness KFC and Taco Bell announce a switch in oil that yields "0 grams" of trans fat in most of their foods. Sounds great right? Uhhhh yeah.....

How about I take 30% of your pay? No? Not up for that? Ok, well then you probably wont like that some of the very foods they are carefully proclaiming as having "0 grams" of trans fat actually contain

The nastiest thing to be seen! Over weight people with belly fat hanging over there low rise jeans, and belly shirts! HOW can any one think this looks good! ANY ONE!??? I mean Please some one enlighten me on why girls/women do this?? It makes me want to pour bleach in my eye's.. If your gut hangs over your waist band of your pants PLEASE do us all a favor and cover it UP! I promise it's not sexy, cute, HOT, makes men want you more.

Well things havent improved much in the free CAD offer from Alibre. Just to bring anyone who isnt in the loop up to speed.

Alibre, makers of commercial CAD products with names such as;
Alibre Design
Alibre Design Professional
Alibre Design Expert
Alibre Design Xpress

Which products they pitch as "Easy to Use 3D Mechanical Design Software"
And "The best choice for 3D MCAD"

Recently they started a web site where they were offering "free" CAD software for people if they got 100,000 folks to sign up. Needless to say people gathered up their disposable email addresses and signed up. Just as the limit was nearly reached the CEO announced the name of the product would be Alibre Design Xpress. It would have a limited feature set, and while you would be free to download it, you would be subjected to advertising. This is the defintion of adware.

Anyone got any good tips on second mortgages? I'm thinking about refinancing. Good a good lead on home equity rates? Advice on e loan sites?

Well I hate to admit to it but occasionally I do make a mistake, and when I purchased Trillian that could have been one of them. Here is a post I recently made in their forums about how I feel on their product.

Ok let me start out with the standard disclaimer. This isn’t a troll, and it’s not an attempt to start a flame war. That said I doubt the developers will even see it so this is sort of a rhetorical venting.
