Live Free or Die Hard


I just recalled a movie with my man from the movie Hostage. Bruce Willis is the name and he starred in a amazing movie that had to do with the US government and how we can go to war through Technology, it even has a name for it, i think its Cyber-Warfare or sumthing but yeah, i reccomend this movie to everyone and maybe we can WATCH this in class. Its been a while since i watched it so heres the link to the summary.

Two lessons which touched me dearly...


First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady. During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one: 'What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?' Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times.. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50's, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. 'Absolutely,' said the professor.. 'In your careers you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say 'hello. 'I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.


Second Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts... Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, 'Yes I'll do it if it will save her.' As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, 'Will I start to die right away?'. Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister ALL of his blood in order to save her and he had chosen to save her anyway.


I got this in an Email and it made me think, so I thought should share with
you all.

Dodge Viper hmm, I like :]




Now when you think of powerful, fast and AMERICAN cars, now car comes close to the Dodge viper, this may be the only car made right here at HOME that may have a chance to compete against the Supercars of Italy and Germany. You see theres not many cars out there who can surpass the 200 mph barrier and all of them run on premium gasoline. But this unique Viper known as Viper SVS runs on the renewable, fuel efficent E 85 gasoline. Now when you mention E 85 fuel to a performance freak, he will laugh at you, but Mr. Jacob the owner of the SVS showed otherwise by taking his street legal, 1200 HP beast powered by a twin turbo v-10 to the limit by taking it to a mindblowing 220.7 mph on a Michigan runway.

Chrome?!



Googles new broswer known as the Chrome may not be used as much as you thought, but a test by Cnet shows otherwise. The results show the the new Chrome beats Opera by a mere 1.2% and is left in the dust by IE with 40.7% and Mozilla Firefox with 37.4% and last but not least Apples Safari with 18.2%. This little random test shows that Chrome is day by day more tested and liked by its users, showing a positive slope up the charts. It might even be at the rank of IE one day, but dont get your hopes up, the chrome is still is in its so called BETA version as is all of Googles product.

" I put lamborgini doors on the Escalade "


Now when you think of new car technology nothing comes to mind better then the fast-moving hybrid car industry. You have many options in this choice of cars from the fuel-efficient Toyota Camry, to the luxurious Lexus LS600hl. But what do you have for those kind of people who like stuff BIG, Big house, Big money and BIG SUV'S. Now this is were my favorite hybrid comes in, introducing the Cadillac Escalade Hybrid. This car is loaded with features like its basic model but its more fuel efficient and it runs on pure electricity till about 20 mph. But on the down side its slightly over-expensive. But who cares your doing your part in saving the environment and being a big shot behind the wheel of an Escalade.

Symphony, Lotus Symphony. La La La...

IBM's Lotus Symphony is like Microsoft's Student Suite, It includes word documents, spreadsheets and presentations but in IBM style so basically in my opinion it isn't all that (no offense). Its based on the famous open-office but doesn't really compete with MS suites. It could use some more work to make it more user friendly and some updates would be nice to make it more useful. But if your willing to lose some features, this is your pick. Did I mention its also free, like other programs to but on the low side.

Not my choice period.
