Hewlett-Packard Company Informative - Getting through HP support
Review by
Saoirse Beck
Comments (6)
After reading so many complaints over issues with HP service, I wanted to add some information that people may find helpful when calling HP support.
1. First and foremost. HP's US support is outsourced to India. If you call support, you will get someone who likely doesn't speak English. Or at least, not very well. This is the primary cause of frustration - trying to get a message across to someone who doesn't speak the same language.
Canada's support, on the other hand, is in CANADA. Canadians speak English every bit as well as you do. And they have those cute accents as well! When you call through for support, keep saying "agent" to the automated system, then ask to be transferred to Canadian support. Be patient. It may take 4 or 5 transfers. Keep asking for Canadian support. Once you get to Canada, they can assist you in troubleshooting, and can set up many types of repair or parts dispatch. The systems are different, so they can't do everything the US team can, but at least they can explain it in a way that makes sense to both of you.
Keep in mind, though, you should use this as a last resort. If everyone who calls demands someone in Canada, HP will change the system so that it's no longer possible to get there. Don't call and demand Canada to order a set of recovery disks - the people in India can handle that just fine. But if it's complicated troubleshooting you need, it might be worthwhile to try it.
Before you ask, NO, there is no direct number to Canada. You have to call the US line and ask for Canada. No other way around it... unless you can call from a Canadian-registered phone, with a Canadian area code (skype?).
2. If you don't like that support is in India, as 99.9% of us don't, don't take it out on your tech. Those in India will get very defensive, and those in Canada or the US (I don't think there actually are any in the US, though) are just plain sick of hearing it.
They have no control over it. If you want to fight for change, the tech is the wrong person to voice your opinion to.
Go to this website:
and send a message to the corporate team. They have the power to make the changes. If you tell them you refuse to buy an HP product until they provide support in the US (or Canada, or another English-first-language country), eventually, they'll have to start listening. One or two won't make a difference. Thousands will. It's all about the bottom line. Right now they save immense amounts of money by having support in India. If they start to lose an equal amount of money in lost customers, they'll be forced to reconsider that business decision.
3. Whatever you do, don't threaten to go buy a Dell because you are fed up with support in India. That is where their support is as well, and your threat will not be taken seriously. If you want to threaten to buy from another company, do some research and find out what company provides support from the US.
Dell and HP are about tied in market share (HP just recently pulled ahead of Dell). Dell has 58% of overall consumer complains against them; HP has 5%. So threatening to buy a Dell because you are unsatisfied with HP's support is really just a joke. Read more about that here:
Telling the agent what kind of support you would get if you called another company also won't help. First, the information you are providing is probably untrue. No one is going to come to your house and do onsite repair for a $50 printer, I don't care who you bought it from. Second, HP doesn't base their support on what others provide. Their support is based on what is economically feasable to provide for the cost of the product that you own.
4. Another good tip for navigating the tech support hurdle (not just HP, any support), is don't call when you're mad.
I know what you're thinking. You weren't mad until you called.
I agree, it's frustrating. Keep in mind, though, these techs have heard it all. Legal threats, death threats, threats on their job etc. They have built up a wall against anger, and when you call and take out your frustration on them, they close up. They'll get defensive. Yelling at the tech, no matter how much better it makes you feel, will NOT get your issue resolved! Yes, the tech may be stupid and incompetant. But telling them that will not make them want to help you! Save the frustration for when you get off the phone.
All big companies have a lot of red tape. There are always stupid, pointless hoops to jump through. The techs are there to help you through them.
No one said the system was great.
But if you are aggressive and angry with the techs, they'll be less likely to give you the information you need. They won't feel like helping you, and you'll get even worse support. This goes for Case Managers as well - maybe even more so!
So the big question here is... what DOES work?
When you call, be as genuinely nice as you possibly can.
A customer once called HP support. When asked "How can I help you?" He said "I'd like to speak to a representative from HP's award winning 24/7 technical support, please!" and he said it with a smile in his voice.
His issue was minor. It was out of scope. He was out of warranty. He wasn't covered.
He got free help anyway.
It won't always work, but it's a lot more likely to get you some decent assistance than "Get me a d*mn supervisor!"
5. READ YOUR WARRANTY. Most of the complaints posted are genuine, but there are many more "unhappy customers" that are simply trying to get more than they are entitled to.
HP phone support helps with *problems* with the computer. They are not a basics computer class. Don't call them to ask them how to burn a DVD, they don't help with that. Take a beginner computer class or ask a friend for help, if you don't know what you are doing. When you buy a car, it's expected that you already know how to drive, or will go learn. The car manufacturer won't provide lessons on that - and neither do computer manufacturers.
Don't call with a heightened sense of entitlement. You think you should get a replacement. The warranty says otherwise. In this battle, the warranty wins. If it's a repair warranty, you are going to get a repair.
Read it and find out what you are entitled to, and what you are not. That way, you know what to expect, and you know if you are not getting what you are entitled to. If your warranty says one thing and the tech won't provide it, by all means, ask for a supervisor. But HP didn't become #1 in the industry by handing out new computers like candy.
6. If your computer fails in the first few weeks.... take it back to the STORE! That is what return policies are for! Be proactive - buy from a store with a good return policy. 7 day exchange only, or final sale, can really come back to bite you.
At Costco, for example, you can take back your computer for a full refund, no questions asked, for a full 6 MONTHS after the purchase date. Imagine all the hassle that could be avoided by shopping there. No repairs, no shipping, no lengthy waits on hold. Just a full refund or a brand new (usually better) computer.
On the "being proactive" topic - don't buy your system at Wal-Mart! Here's the inside scoop:
Walmart dictates the price of the PC to the manufacturer. They are the ONLY retailer with the power to do this. Their price is significantly less than what other companies (Future Shop, Staples, RadioShack etc) pay. The manufacturers (HP and Compaq included) build PC's just for Walmart. Those computer have similar model numbers to other retail PCs. But don't be fooled - they are not the same. WalMart PC's are built with low quality, budget parts. The parts are often refurbished. They are not the high quality PCs you would expect from HP... they might as well be Acers. You get what you pay for.
That's my 3 cents. Sorry if some of it came across with some animosity, it was not meant that way. These are real suggestions that in my experience, actually work.
If someone out there can get better support with any of these suggestions, or avoid getting really BAD support, it was well worth it.

Just a Simple tag-on: I agree that language can be a barrier. Lack of understanding is even more formidable! HP has a policy that ALL lower level personnel must abide. No one is allowed to help anyone if their equipment is out-of-warranty, even if the software is brand new! Thus a software glitch in installing their downloads is just tough luck! You must first purchase a new piece of equipment before any communication will occur. Your current HP product may work perfectly. So what? The company makes a lot more $$$ by No Service than by helping you out of the problems that are caused by HP. Hope you get the picture.
Keep criminals off the street. Do not buy from them!

Costco went from 6 months to 3, which is still a great deal, considering most places are 2 weeks. Their selections change all the time. You can buy online from them, but then they will charge shipping, in my case they would. But great review.

It's not every day that V.S. Naipaul gets soft and teary-eyed.
Yet, at an award function in Mumbai on Wednesday night, the Nobel-prize winning author was overcome with emotion as he looked back at what inspired him to write "A House for Mr. Biswas" (1961), one of his most celebrated novels, based loosely on his father's life.
"Farrukh, you must forgive me," said Mr. Naipaul, addressing his friend and fellow writer Farrukh Dhondy, who was in conversation with him on stage. "I've talked about this many times but it's still moving," he added.

Fuck singing the last bar, he's going the G way by yelling out the last line.
This is a shot at those who sing in their VERSES, which in hip-hop just shouldn't be allowed (Drake).
Also Royce is yelling at his opponents asking if they're ready for him to attack lyrically and literally.
Royce is gettin so rich he doesn't even care anymore. He does stupid ish and still get crazy paid for it. Sounds familiar?
By the way, that screaming thing must be the most hilarious bar on the album.
A play on the phrase "catch a body", which is the premise of the song. Nothing says that you're crazy like playing hot potato with a dead body.
A reference to the movie Weekend at Burnie's, a movie about two insurance employees who discover that their boss is dead and try to convince everyone he's alive.
Crooked is so deep in the girl's pussy it's like he's searching for diamonds, trying to dig up dinosaur bones, or digging through the center of the Earth until he reaches China.
Slaughterhouse and Busta just keeps killing (lyrically and literally) so many people just have to keep buying caskets. I wonder if they get a frequent buyer discount.
If you ever try and match Sean's hustle and skill, that will ever happen is a very embarrassing death. It really is embarrassing to die trying to match someone's rapping.
Detroit (where Big Sean is from), is full of talented rappers and goons. He's just one who happened to make it out and get big.
This girl trying to say that she's a one man woman.
Pshh, she know she wants the D, because that's where Sean was born and raised in (see what I did there).
She is the girl of Kanye's dreams, pretty dope pickup line Ye.
There are two ways people handle pressure: you either crack from it or you embrace it.

If it were a country, Gujarat would be hailed among the world's fastest growing economies.
This state in western India, on the Arabian Sea, appears as an unstoppable juggernaut, consistently posting double-digit GDP growth for nearly a decade, a rare feat among India's 28 states.
Gujarat, which is roughly twice the size of Ireland, is home to fewer than 5 per cent of India's 1.2 billion people, but its per capita income is twice that of the national figure. The state accounts for about a quarter of India's exports, a third of its stock market capitalisation and a fifth of its industrial output.
India has 30 special economic zones - tax-free enclaves that promote trade and exports - for multiple industries, and more than a third of them are in Gujarat.
The state is home to two of India's largest oil refineries and one of its largest automated coal terminals. Its long list of foreign investors includes Japan's Mitsubishi, Germany's Duravit and Canada's Bombardier.
Gujarat is an emerging economic and export powerhouse and stands out as a curious anomaly in a country where corruption, heavy-handed bureaucratic controls and a weak policy and regulatory environment are impeding economic growth.
Business leaders praise the state's chief minister, Narendra Modi, for successfully tackling these ills.
Gujarat is the only statein which the government has framed policies and rationalised procedures for land allocation and environmental clearances in almost all key sectors, including power, ports, roads, information technology, agriculture and minerals.
Mr Modi's "only red carpet and no red tape" approach is helping Gujarat successfully woo domestic and foreign investors.
"To me, good governance means minimum government and maximum governance," Mr Modi said.
That buoyant sentiment was echoed by an effusive assembly of industrialists - including members of the Ambani, Birla and Tata families - who came to Gujarat this month for the Vibrant Gujarat Global Investors' Summit. They lauded the state's "business-friendly" chief minister and pledged investments worth US$450 billion (Dh1.65 trillion) - the equivalent of a third of India's GDP.
The Adani Group pledged 800bn rupees (Dh64.42bn) of investments in ports and power; Anil Dhirubhai Ambai committed 500bn; and Essar Group pledged 300bn.
This highlights a steep jump in investments from the previous summit in the state, held in 2009, which attracted investment pledges totalling $243bn.
"The world looks at India and India looks at Gujarat," said Chanda Kochhar, the chairman of ICICI, the country's largest private bank.
Mr Modi, who is Gujarat's longest serving chief minister and was first elected as chief minister in 2001, stands out among India's political class.
But his economic success has come amid controversy. In February 2002, 58 Hindu pilgrims died in a mysterious fire on a train passing through Gujarat.
The incident sparked a deadly backlash by Hindu mobs against Muslims who were suspected of causing the fire. More than 1,000 people were killed in the ensuing wave of sectarian violence.
Mr Modi was accused of being complicit in fomenting the riots and thereafter doing nothing to stop the Hindu mobs - accusations he vehemently denied.
No matter how hard Mr Modi tries to shun the legacy of the 2002 violence by focusing on economic progress, it continues to be an albatross. He is currently under investigation by the supreme court.
While he is loathed and loved in equal measure, not even his fiercest critics question his personal integrity. Mr Modi is viewed to have zero tolerance for corruption and nepotism.
Ashok Bhatia, the president of Zydus Cadila, a leading pharmaceutical company in Gujarat, said Mr Modi had ushered in an era of good governance in the state. "He has the right attitude to develop business in Gujarat," he said. "He runs the state not like a politician, but like a CEO."
Gujarat's civil administration is viewed as an efficient and disciplined force that rules on land purchases and environmental permits quickly. Through a web portal, investors can track the paperwork and make complaints in case of any delay.
In October 2008, the car giant Tata Motors was compelled to shut down its plant for the low-cost Nano car in communist-ruled West Bengal after a violent backlash in the state from local farmers bitterly opposed to the project on their land. Within days, the company was invited to Gujarat by Mr Modi personally.
Land allotment for the new plant was wrapped up in just three days.The decision won the state a 300bn rupee project and direct employment for 50,000 people. Such approvals in India normally take several months of agonising lobbying and paperwork.
In 2007, the Canadian transport company Bombardier also set up a 160,000 square meter factory in the state with relative ease. The land for the factory site at Vadodara was granted in a week. Bombardier is currently finalising a $650 million order for 424 coaches for New Delhi's metro network.
"It was a record-breaking experience in Bombardier's 100-year history," said Rajeev Jyoti, the company's managing director in India.
But some critics say the figures of investment advertised at the biennial summits are inflated and not likely to materialise beyond paper investments. The state government says that 40 per cent of the deals signed in 2009 are being implemented, while 60 per cent of those signed in 2007 have taken off. However, Mr Modi has pointed out that even with fewer-than-promised projects getting off the ground, Gujarat is still far ahead of most other Indian states on the investment front.
Gujarat also has an edge over other states because of its superior infrastructure. The state has the best roads in India, uninterrupted electricity and an extensive rail network. There are 42 ports, 13 domestic airports and one international airport, the highest number of any state. Gujarat also boasts a 2,200km gas-grid that supplies the fuel to industrial areas. Last year, the state government committed $43.2bn to upgrading infrastructure in the state.
"Gujarat has an advantage over other states because of stable power supply, availability of natural gas and proximity to ports for importing raw materials as well as exporting finished goods," says Anant Goenka, the deputy managing director at the tyre maker Ceat, which has a plant producing radial tyres in the state.

I'm not surprised at this, they had that one slot open and it would have just been strange to pick up a long series and they didn't have any short gag shows running at this time. I was figuring it would be this or Nyampire.
It sure would be nice if they somehow got the right to host the 30 minute OVA though, njprogfan, as I understand it CR has absolutely no quota system, they pursue any and every program, whether universally panned or praised, whether they already have other shows of its "niche" already. In fact I usually expect them to get the crappiest shows because those producers are likely the ones that know they have to get creative with their revenue streams. The only other 30 minute show I was thinking they might get was the period/boob mutilation show.... simply because it was such a horrible looking show. |

The last one (they added another box so this was likely just an extra) will likely be the Milky Holmes 1 episode special. They nearly always do future broadcasts of anime they aired past seasons of, and it gives them time to announce it since everything else this season is already a couple episodes in, and that episode doesn't air until August. |

100% agree with wanting those 2 shows (Kami-sama no Memo-chō "kami-memo" not to be confused with Kamisama Dolls). I'm hopeful that 5min of Morita-san will be far more entertaining (and funny) than Yuri Yuri or R-15 or Nekogami none of which, at least for me, are any good in the humor department which is I think their whole point. Blood C is streaming for all on [url]ch.niconico.com[/url] and its kind of only been average so far (my expectations are very high for this show) but I'm still very hopeful it'll get better. |

China commentary slams EU airline CO2 scheme
BEIJING, July 5
- Tweet
- Share this
BEIJING, July 5 (Reuters) - A European Union plan to include all airlines flying to Europe in the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) from next year is unfair and contrary to global efforts to fight climate change, China's state-run Xinhua news agency said on Tuesday.
The ETS system compels polluters to buy permits for each tonne of carbon dioxide they emit above a certain cap. But China has resisted, saying it is unfair for developing countries and costly.
The China Air Transport Association says the scheme will cost Chinese airlines 800 million yuan ($123 million) in the first year and more than triple that by 2020.
Xinhua, whose commentaries are a reflection of government thinking on major issues or controversies, said the scheme had been ill-thought out.
"In the name of dealing with climate change, the EU's approach will generate enormous financial benefits at the expense of the rest of the world, including developing countries," it said in an English-language commentary .
"Studies show that the extra costs of the EU's plan will amount to $1.6 billion dollars in the first year alone. The direction of the cash flow is contrary to the spirit of the agreements reached at the UN Cancun climate change conference last year."
At least 16 Chinese airlines have the rights to fly to Europe, with 11 actually operating regular services.
Among the most affected will be Air China , China Southern Airlines and China Eastern .
While the EU was right to address the issue of aviation emissions, this was the wrong way of doing it, Xinhua said.
"The EU's attempt to force the rest of the world to conform to its own system is sure to undermine the international cooperation needed in the historic battle against climate change," it added.
"The EU needs to listen to the concerns of the rest of the world and rethink its plan now."
The EU's step to include aviation into the bloc's $120 billion trading scheme has been deeply unpopular among global airlines, which have said the move is costly, illegal and particularly unfair on long-haul carriers.
U.S. airlines will step up their campaign against the policy this week, with a legal challenge at Europe's highest court to their inclusion in the EU carbon market.
Non-EU carriers will have to pay carbon costs based on the entire journey, something that angers Asian airlines in particular because of the long distances to Europe.
While the scheme will be allocating about 80 percent of pollution permits for free to reduce costs, most of the remainder have to be bought from the market. (Reporting by Ben Blanchard; Editing by Yoko Nishikawa)

The Liberty Bank Foundation recently presented The Bridge Family Center received $5,000 to support Parent Leadership Training Institute (PLTI) programming in West Hartford. PLTI is a 20-week course designed to help parents better understand how their local schools and governments operate and become more active and engaged citizens, as well as more effective advocates for their children.
"We are very grateful for the Liberty Bank Foundation's generous support of PLTI," said Margaret A. Hann, Executive Director of the Bridge. "This program will teach parents who want to improve the lifelong health, safety, and learning of children how to become practiced change agents for the next generation. Through PLTI, they will become better parents, community leaders, and learn how to advocate effectively for the best interests of all children."
Based in West Hartford, the Bridge Family Center is a regional nonprofit agency that provides a broad range of services for children and families throughout the Greater Hartford area. Founded in 1969, the Bridge offers a safe haven for children and families in crisis as well as positive, healthy intervention and prevention programs. Its mission is to foster the courage and strength in children and families to meet life's challenges and build fulfilling lives. The Bridge is recognized as a leader in bringing the community together to assess issues and needs, and plans, coordinates, delivers and evaluates services in a cost-effective manner.

Spurred on by all this discussion about parsing, I dug up a document I wrote a long time ago about a way to describe regular expressions in XML. The basic motivation was to use a SAX API for general purpose parsing, or to turn structured text into a tree. <http://www.utilities.cornell.edu/XML/XRE.html> I'd be interested if anyone would find this useful. This is probably not as complete as Simon's fragments work, JITTs or LMNL, but I'm only beginning to grok those. Joel --

Father and sons arrested for smuggling 1.2 tonnes of cocaineWednesday 03 August 2011 Six Dutch nationals have been arrested in connection with the seizure in Britain of a Dutch-registered yacht with 1.2 metric tons of cocaine on board, the public prosecution department said on Wednesday. A 60-year-old man from Meppel and his three sons, aged 34, 32 and 27, plus two other men aged 44 from Amsterdam, were picked up on Tuesday after an investigation lasting several months. The 60-year-old is the registered owner of the boat. The motor yacht Louise had been loaded onto a ship transporter bound for Holland while in the Caribbean, where it was already under surveillance. The transporter made a scheduled stop in Southampton where the yacht was searched by British and Dutch officials. After six days, they eventually found the drugs hidden beneath the bathing platform at the back of the boat. The yacht's owner had tried to pick the boat up in Southampton but were delayed by British officials who said it was no longer seaworthy while the investigation continued. The drugs, with a street value of €45m, were probably hidden on the yacht in Venezuala, the department said. According to British media reports, the drug was 90% pure and represents the largest find of a Class A drug ever made in the UK. Police also recovered a million euros in cash, two Harley Davidson motorbikes, two firearms, a silencer and a quantity of ecstasy. For photos and a video of the haul, click here © DutchNews.nl Readers' Comments Well done Brits and Dutch Customs for persisting in that search, more lives saved by that find. By 3 August 2011 5:15 PM |wow, 1.2 tons of this crap equals a whole lot of messed up lives, broken marriages, wasted money and other drug addiction problems. glad they caught this, I hope this 'family' that decided to smuggle drugs for material gain spends the rest of their lives in prison. it's strange what some people think is okay to do, especially older people who I always thought should be examples to the younger generation coming up. the father in this story is 60 yrs old! By 4 August 2011 7:04 AM |A lousy 1.2 tons, and you called the bust "the largest ever"? This is nothing compare to what the british government shipped to China some 150 years ago! Well, I guess what goes around, comes around, right? So, when it comes through, next time, just enjoy it, my friends! By 4 August 2011 11:54 AM | |

On behalf of the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority and Gray Matter Marketing we would like to thank Citizens Bank and all of our sponsors, the thousands of runners, walkers, law enforcement agents and volunteers that helped make the third annual #PellBridgeRun our best race yet.
Thank you all and see you next year!
2013 Results
The Citizens Bank Pell Bridge Run is a 4 mile run/walk produced by the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority. This event is not-for-profit and 100% of proceeds will go to support local not-for-profits.
This event is the most unique road race experience in the northeast! Once a year pedestrians are allowed to run or walk across the Claiborne Pell Bridge from Jamestown to Newport, R.I.
The primary goals of the Pell Bridge Run are to fundraise for local not-for-profit organizations and to promote a healthy/active lifestyle.
When: The race will be held on November 10, 2013 at 6:30 a.m.
Where: Race starts in Jamestown and ends in Downtown Newport.
Who: Open to runners or walkers. Must be able to do three miles in an hour pace.
Parking: There is NO PARKING at the race start in Jamestown. All athletes must use the shuttles from Newport or be dropped off at the designated athlete drop off locations. Parking Locations Map.
Shuttles: Shuttles will run from the Newport Convention and Visitors Bureau in Downtown Newport to the race starting line in Jamestown beginning at 4:30 a.m.
Drop Off Location: Athletes wishing to be dropped off near the starting line coming from Newport will take the East Shore Rd exit just after the toll plaza and head north on East Shore Road until they arrive at the designated drop off location. Drop-Off Locations Map.
Athletes coming from the West Bay will take the first exit in Jamestown and follow signage to the designated drop-off location. NO PEDESTRIANS ARE ALLOWED TO EXIT THEIR VEHICLES ON Route 138.
Due to the early start time and race distance, there will be no gear drop off at the start or finish before the race. Dress appropriately for the cold and wind. It is required that athletes wishing to shed layers do so before they get on the bridge. Do not leave any items on the bridge. All clothing collected will be donated to charity.
The Pell Bridge will not be shut down on race day. Athletes will cross the Pell Bridge in the east bound lanes while the bridge will remain open for two way traffic traveling in the two west bound lanes. Slight delays can be expected on the bridge from 4:30 a.m. thru 8:00 a.m. Small parts of East Shore and Canonicus Roads in Jamestown will be closed from 5:30-7:00 a.m. on race day. In Downtown Newport, small portions of Farewell St. and America's Cup Avenue will be closed from 6:45-8:00 a.m.
The Pell Bridge Run is a Silver Level Certified Sustainable Event. More Info.
The top male and female finisher along with the top three age group award winners will be recognized at the post race festival. More Info.
Water, hot chocolate and coffee will be offered at the starting line in Jamestown. We will host one on-course water stop at the base of the Pell Bridge in Newport. This year we will host a post race festival at the Newport Yachting Center. Participants will be provided with water, bagels and fruit in a designated athlete only tent and all of-age participants will be offered one free beer in our "beer garden" from sponsor Newport Storm. A full bar will also be available for additional beverages. To access this area participants and spectators must have proper ID.
Those Guys will be performing from 7:30 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. at the Newport Yachting Center. This portion of the event is free and open to the public.
Due to the unique nature of the race course and the time of the year, there is a potential for race cancelation due to the weather. Please dress appropriately for potential wind and cold temperatures. Unfortunately there is no rain date and no refunds will be permitted. Please review our cancelation policy.

"Great TV Set with Amazing Functionality!"
on by C-BurrisPros + Picture quality is just great
+ Video streaming
+ 2 hi-speed USB 2.0 input jacks
+ Easy to useCons - Some screen glare
- Widgets not very usefulSummary I got mine from a local store on sale for a little under $1600. That was about three weeks ago. And since then my entire family just can't get enough of it.
Picture quality is just great - and that's expected. But what amazes me is all the extra functionality with what this TV is packed.
1. Video streaming with Netflix. (It also has VUDU, YouTube, Picasa - but I did not try VUDU yet, and YouTube and Picasa work just fine, but I do not need a huge display to view some low resolution videos from YouTube). So Netflix movies available to watch instantly look great. Even those that are not HD quality. I must say that I have FIOS internet connection, so that must be also a component for high quality videos, but as far as this set goes - it does a great job.
2. This TV has 2 hi-speed USB2.0 input jacks, and it recognizes not just flash drives, but also USB external hard drives - even with NTFS file format. I tried both - FAT32 and NTFS, and also external drives with additional power source and without it, - this TV recognizes them all. It can play your video files (and other media too) directly from external hard drive! And it supports multiple video formats, including Matroska H.264. It also supports external subtitles for AVI files. I did not test multiple subtitles formats, but SRT works great. It supports standard Latin letters languages and Korean. No other encodings though.
I want also to add a few words about design. I use a TV stand that it came with, and it allows TV to be turned both sides about 20 degree - just enough to get to the USB jacks or to additional audio or HDMI jacks that are placed on a left side. The main ones are located on the back panel - which is also pretty easy to reach thanks to that rotating feature of a stand. The rotation is very smooth and requires no force at all.
I can't be more pleased with it.
*** P.S. If you will buy this TV I suggest you have compare price before you decide at: www.amazon.com/gp/*************?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%****%2Foffer-listing%2FB0001YH7JW%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Ddp_olp_new%26condition%3Dnew%23&tag=***************&********=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957 -
"Great product"
on by satellitetvcomputerPros I like everything about it specially the price
Cons Maybe the styling is not up with the rest
Summary definately recommend this tv as the price is very competitive
"Incredible TV"
on by coogansblufPros Spectacular picture, nearly seems 3-D at times, easy to use and set up, audio is fine. Easy to switch back and forth between satellite, blu-ray and video games. I love this set.
Cons Works much better in a dark room, reflects light like a mirror
Summary The pros far outweigh the cons
"Colorful, bright, beautiful TV! Need web browser!"
on by Super KaiokenPros Color is great
Aesthetically pleasing TV
ISF Color management is greatCons No web browser
Screen is reflective -
"Nice picture but highly reflective screen is a loser."
on by pmurf1Pros Appears to be quality product.
Cons Screen acts as 'smoky' mirror. You see yourself, lamps, etc. interfering with so-called high quality color/intensity picture. What is the point of the 'blackest blacks' just to see the room your sitting in reflected in them?
Summary Bought this today - so these are strictly first impressions. Had a Sony Bravia whose panel started flaking out about 6 months after the year warranty was up. Sony repairman said we had to replace the panel at approx. $2000. We lived with the problem (flickered at startup but would eventually clear after 1/2 hour or so) until the panel seemed to finally give up the ghost. This LG seems fine with the noticeable and perhaps unacceptable (to us) exception that the highly reflective screen mirrors everything in the room. Unless you plan to sit in a light-less room with dark curtains. your room reflections will always be an additive image you will be viewing in addition to the TV picture. My lamp is a constant and all too obvious object present in anything viewed on this TV. So much for the 'blackest blacks' - they turn into the best mirrors for our lamps. They truly do a great job reflecting the living room characteristics! Plan to return for a matte finish screen - even if reviewed as having 'lesser quality'. Lesser quality in a tomb may be much better quality in our living room (with lamps, windows, etc.). Wish they would have warned us about this in the CNET review.
Wanted to add that the audio was of lesser quality of our (albeit fatally flawed) Sony Bravia. Sounds a bit tinny by comparison.

I want some suggestions.
I want to create a website with using Java Applets.
Could u pls suggest me if I am thinking in the right way or not? What are the problems (other than development) my site will have to face, mean like flash plugin, users having JRE installed on their system or not, The applet based site performs good on each system or not and what all the user should already have installed on their computer to see my applet based site as if they are looking some HTML based site just by opening any browser.

Average Interview
I applied online and the process took 4 months - interviewed at Telefónica.
Interview Details Applied for a position online and then didn't hear back from them until after almost 3 moths. I did online tests and was invited to a video interview. These were mainly competency based questions - nothing unexpected. Then I as invited to AC where we were asked to do group exercise and had 1 to 1 interview with someone from Finance team at Telefonica.

Average Interview
I applied through an employee referral and interviewed at Telefónica.
Interview Details I made contact with a senior manager who interviewed me. The initial meeting was positive and we both agreed that my skills and experiences could best be employed with another team. I was given the name of a Senior Recruitment Advisor and advised to contact them which I did by email with telephone follow-up.
Days turned into weeks and then into months and she did not respond! No guidance. No rejection or invitation to further interview. No response even when I asked the senior manager to remind her!
I guess that Telefonica is wrapped up in bureaucracy with people unable to make qualified decisions without the involvement of a committee.
What could have been a professional interview and selection procedure has left me disappointed in Telefonica. I am confident that they have lost a strong candidate!
Interview Question – Be wary of Telefonica Recruitment's lack of responsiveness! View Answer

Neutral Experience
I applied online and the process took 6 weeks - interviewed at Telefónica.
Interview Details Online tests were intensive and varied, followed by a video interview. This was a fair assessment and although unfamiliar I think gives the candidate the chance to think whilst answering questions. This was followed by a full day assessment centre including interview, individual and group tasks.
Interview Question – Each interview varied greatly from person to person and I think the company tried hard to let you do your best. They are looking for your strengths rather than trying to trip you up. Answer Question

Negative Experience
Easy Interview
I applied online and the process took 2+ weeks - interviewed at Telefónica in August 2013.
Interview Details Applied online. Passed the telephone interview. Telephone interview was CV based and some behavioural questions. Invited for face to face interview. Asked to prepare a document for the interview, which for first instance seems to be very unusual. The interview lasted one and half hour, some technical and behavioural questions. The interviewer was not well prepared for the interview. Did not make any notes, just ask some random questions ( whatever comes to mind first). I thought the interview went well. But no offer was made. They still looking for Mr Perfect for the role. Travel Expense was not paid.
Interview Question – Asked to write a technical specification for one of their product, which was yet to be invented View Answer
No Offer
Negative Experience
Very Easy Interview
I applied in-person and the process took a day - interviewed at Telefónica in February 2012.
Interview Details Were not prepared , the individual who interviewed me had little to no idea what the job function was - were replacing the current person and all he knew was they found a lot of unfinished work and correspondence on their desk.
Interview Question – None - barely asked anything of relevance and/or value Answer Question

Average Interview
I applied online and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Telefónica in February 2011.
Interview Details The first interview was with the hiring manager and lasted about 1.5 hours. Went through the relevant parts of my CV for the role and was asked specific questions about my most recent roles. Also went through the details of the role I was interviewing for. Was asked at the end if I could come back the following day for a second round with one of the hiring managers other direct reports. Came back for that interview which lasted about the same. Also straightforward, going over my CV and the chance to ask questions.
Interview Question – Nothing out of the ordinary or unrelated to my CV. All questions were in relation to my prior experience. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Following the interviews, all other negotiation conversations were over the phone with HR rep.

Last week of filing fails to bring about many races
Most are incumbents. And Republicans. And most won't have to worry about whether they will be re-elected. They are candidates for local offices that will be decided in the May primary and November general elections.
The final filing deadline was Monday, and the last week added a few names, but not many to the primary ballot. Only three local races will be decided in May, all of them involving county jobs.

That's according to the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Agricultural Statistics Service, which on Friday released its monthly national report, Cattle on Feed, for feedlots above 1,000 head capacity.

Temperatures dip, heating bills rise
Thursday, 06 February 2014 19:35
Written by wpnews
With temperatures dipping below zero for weeks, the cost of keeping warm has been a concern this winter no matter what type of heat system is being used.
The price of propane has been among the topic of discussions most recently with prices jumping unusually high. With no let up of cold temperatures, concern of demand, availability and price increases continue.
A noticeable increase has been seen in propane prices during the past 21 days. Less than a week ago propane was selling at $4.70 a gallon, but as of Wednesday (today) propane at Sapp Brothers had retreated to $2.59 a gallon.
The price jump came about because of a number of demand factors, one of them being agriculture use of propane.
"This was a huge year for grain drying," said Tim Kaup general manager of Sapp Brothers Petroleum in West Point.
It isn't just Nebraskans using propane.
"The cold temperatures and increased propane use for heating homes has extended to the southern states. There is a lot of propane used also in agriculture in the south."
All that propane use has created a busy schedule for delivery drivers.
"We have three propane transports going out every day," Kaup said. "We also have four to six bobtails go out daily for our rural deliveries."

Carol Wood, 49, of North Platte was arraigned Monday on her third offense of aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol.
Wood requested a public defender and bond was set at $25,000.
The charge is classified as aggravated because Woods blood alcohol content was 0.16, according to a breath test, and she has two prior convictions for DUI -- one in August 1998 and one in April 2004.
Her record also shows convictions for contempt of court, disturbing the peace and probation violations.

A Stochastic Uncoupling Process for Graphs (2000)
Venue: | NATIONAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE FOR MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE IN THE |
Citations: | 2 - 1 self |
author = {Stijn Van Dongen},
title = {A Stochastic Uncoupling Process for Graphs},
institution = {NATIONAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE FOR MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE IN THE},
year = {2000}
A discrete stochastic uncoupling process for finite spaces is introduced, called the Markov Cluster Process. The process takes a stochastic matrix as input, and then alternates flow expansion and flow inflation, each step defining a stochastic matrix in terms of the previous one. Flow expansion corresponds with taking the k th power of a stochastic matrix, where k 2 IN . Flow inflation corresponds with a parametrized operator \Gamma r , r 0, which maps the set of (column) stochastic matrices onto itself. The image \Gamma r M is obtained by raising each entry in M to the r th power and rescaling each column to have sum 1 again. In practice the process converges very fast towards a limit which is idempotent under both matrix multiplication and inflation, with quadratic convergence around the limit points. The limit is in general extremely sparse and the number of components of its associated graph may be larger than the number associated with the input matrix. This uncoupli...

WinPwn 220.127.116.11 worked fine on my previously pwned 2G iPhone. I also got both installer and cydia in my custom firmware. Here's what I did:
1. Choose Browse.ipsw and pick the official 2.0.1 firmware from Apple
2. Click on IPSW Builder
3. Select the options you want (in my case, I selected youtube fix, installer, cydia, and also the options to unlock my baseband since I'm not on an official carrier.
4. **I changed the partition size from 500MB to 1000MB**
5. Then i built my IPSW
6. Click on iPwner and select your newly built custom 2.0.1 firmware to pwn iTunes.
7. Open iTunes and put your phone in DFU mode
8. When iTunes detects your phone in recovery mode, click Shift-Restore then select your new custom firmware.
That's it. Restoring took a while, but I just left it, and then I had both Cydia and Installer on my phone. I'm restoring from backup as I speak.
NOTE: Building my custom IPSW with BOTH Cydia and Installer did not work until I tried changing the partition size from 500 MB to 1000 MB,
i've read that you must upgrade to 2.0 before 2.0.1. Anyone know if this true even with winpwn 220.127.116.11? Thanks!
Nope not for me.
Followed Nabz34 instructions including raizing the partition size and was able to build IPSW with Cydia & Installer
but still error 6 on Shift-Click restore.
FYI got a Custom-iPhone1,1_2.0.1_5B108_Restore of size 251,746,058 on a VISTA32 machine (also picked options autoremove bootneuter).
Can restore 2.0.0 custom fine.
Will wait now til this bug is fixed....
Last edited by nospamjl; 08-10-2008 at 12:17 AM.
10 mins into the restore now ( veryfing for the last 5 ), with resize.
Finished!!! "Everythings fine, nothing is ruined. Ooh thats good to hear!"
Last edited by namesnik; 08-10-2008 at 12:28 AM.
i think this is issue if you install all apps and partition becomes to small... when i increased root parition on 512MB (from 500) everything worked fine, you will also get warning about low disk space when you will upgrade cydia for 1st time, but dont worry, since next start of cydia will move apps/ringtones to media parition and it will free some space + you can after use bosstool to move fonts also and you will get another 100mb+ of space on root parition
