ELON — Trevion McCollum made the most of his second chance in the second overtime.
The Western Alamance sophomore quarterback knifed into the end zone from 10 yards out to deliver a 27-21 non-conference victory against visiting Southern Alamance on Friday night.
"I saw an open hole and I just ran as hard as I could and dropped my head," McCollum said.
McCollum's game-winning score, which sent the crowd and sideline into a frenzied celebration, came after he threw an interception in the first overtime.
Southern Alamance's James Testerman missed a 22-yard field goal to end the first overtime.
"He had that pick here in overtime and he was kind of hanging his head," Western Alamance coach Jeff Snuffer said of McCollum. "(Team chaplain) Rev. (Bob) Disher talked to him and said, 'Look, this is a breaking point for you. We talk about toughness, it's time to be tough.' "
The Warriors (2-0) were in position to score on their first play of the second overtime because of a goal-line stand by their defense. On back-to-back plays from the 1-yard line, Western Alamance stuffed the Patriots at the line.
"There's a time when you have to tell your guys to step up, it's time to make a play," Snuffer said.
Those proved to be the biggest defensive plays for a unit that allowed 453 yards.
"It's just mental toughness, we've been talking about it all week," said Western Alamance defensive back Dexter Brower. "We don't have to be physically tough, we have to be mentally tough. We can't break for anything. We bend but we don't break."
That toughness was necessary for Western Alamance, which was held to 171 yards of offense but never trailed. McCollum passed for 48 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 33 yards.
Western Alamance took a lead in the first quarter when it scored two touchdowns within a minute. Donovan Apple put the Warriors on the board first with a 37-yard touchdown burst off left tackle on the first play of a possession. Apple had 91 yards on 17 carries.
Two plays later, Brower swatted a pitch attempt by Johnathan Lloyd, scooped up the ball and sprinted 33 yards for a touchdown. Those scores were separated by 28 seconds.
"I just saw it and I went for it," Brower said. "I was not expecting it at all, but once I got it, in my mind I was not going to get tackled for anything."
Down two touchdowns early, Southern Alamance found its groove in the second quarter with Jourdan Osinskie lining up at quarterback. Running an option out of the shotgun, Osinskie busted through the line and went virtually untouched for a 20-yard touchdown with about two minutes left in the second quarter.
The Patriots (1-1) battled back and tied the game twice in the second half. Southern Alamance was in position to win with 3:19 left, but Testerman's 30-yard field goal attempt sailed wide left.
"Field goals, you never know what's going to happen with field goals," Osinskie said. "We've got a great kicker. He's feeling it right now."
That was one of two missed opportunities, with Dairyon Matkins' fumble at the goal line early in the fourth quarter serving as another source of agony.
"That's the way football goes," Southern Alamance coach Andrew Carrouth said. "Our kids are not quite there yet and we made too many mistakes to win the game, but man I am so proud of our team.
Lloyd shook off a slow start to throw for 292 yards on 20-for-37 passing, adding 50 yards on the ground. He completed seven of his first 22 passes.

First grandchild video chat advice needed
by dromel - 11/18/12 2:25 PM
I have two daughters out of state, TN & NC. One just brought home first grand child (NC) and for some reason my wife is all excited. I want to set up some kind of video chat capabilities with one or both for my wife.
Both daughters have iphone 4s and use FaceTalk. They also have lap tops with web cams and wifi. All of us have gmail accounts. Nobody uses MSN Messenger.
I am running Win XP Prof, SP3 on Comcast cable, download 12 - 25 mps, upload 1 - 2 mps.
So far I have been considering a Logitech 525c web cam (30$ to 50$), and software like ooVoo, gmail chat, SKYPE and ????
Haven't figured out SKYPE charges yet. Free, or 2.3/min, or "buy a number"?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you

2nd year ordering because I knew what I would be getting: quality & service. I knew I would need help to expedite delivery. The service folks are great & on top of things. I was only going to do my daughter's 1st bday invite via magnet invite, but I so many people loved it and still have it up on their fridge that I am now going to order the first 5 years.. The only think I wished is for them to have more 2.25" x "5.875" bday magnets. Can't wait to create & order next year's magnet!

Mr. Harris seems to think that a historical Jesus existed who was a proponent of liberal Judaism pace Hillel perhaps. Does Mr. Harris think that this historical Jesus' thought was intellectually and theologically bankrupt? After all, obviously a historical Jesus would have predated any New Testament or Ebionite gospels, therefore established scripture would have provided few if any precedents for relaxation of the law.

The 2014 Miss Ohio USA and Miss Ohio Teen USA pageants will be returning to the Vern Riffe Center For the Arts on Nov. 8-9 for the 13th year.
To prepare for the pageants, an orientation involving contestants for both pageants was held over the weekend to in Portsmouth.
Kim Bauer, local pageant director said, "The orientation is an opportunity for them (contestants and families) to submit their paperwork and make sure everything is in order before the pageant. As a part of the orientation, the contestants will have their photos taken for the program. Pageant director Melissa Pitchford and I will also address the contestants."
As a part of the orientation, contestants were given the opportunity to meet and talk with the 2013 Miss Ohio Kristin Smith and the 2013 Miss Ohio Teen Brittany Reid.
In an exclusive interview with the Daily Times Smith and Reid told of their experiences this past year.
"It's been quite the roller coaster," Smith said.
Smith said, the 2013 Miss Ohio USA pageant of 2013 was the first time she had competed in a pageant.
As a result of being crowned Miss Ohio USA 2013, she went on to compete for the title of Miss USA.
Smith said over this last year she and Reid have had the chance to work with the Pink Ribbon Girls Foundation.
"I got to do a lot with the Pink Ribbon Girls in which Brittany and I are ambassadors to. Throughout the year we've been able to do a lot of appearances and fun events. It's exciting to see that people are excited to meet us," Smith said.
When asked if there was an event or experience that stood out, during her time as Miss Ohio, Smith said, "The night that I won, because I don't remember a second of it. I had to go back and watch the tape. When my name was announced as one of the Top 5, I just blacked out," Smith said. "I had no idea I won until I saw the crown on my head."
Reid said the overall experience of being Miss Ohio Teen USA has been a lot of fun.
When asked what was going through her head when her named was called as the winner, Reid said, "I could not believe it. I can remember being called for Top 15 and I remember being called for Top 5. I can remember my onstage question and the next thing I know I was holding flowers in my arms and waving to family and friends."
Reid offered some advice to the incoming contestants.
"I know all of the girls go into the pageant wanting to win," she said. "You can't go in with that goal because only one is going to walk away with the crown. I would say take it all in, don't think about what the results are and have a blast."
Bauer said, this year's pageants will see a few more contestants than in years past.
"This year it's kind of exciting because not only is the Miss Ohio USA pageant on Nov. 9 but, also be Miss Universe pageant being held in Russia is also that evening," Bauer said. "Everyone is excited for the pageants this year and we are looking forward to a great show at the Vern Riffe Center."

Reinventing the ball for new recreational pursuits
Article Summary
April 12, 2007 Bizit Air Products have come up with a fun idea - inflatable plastic balls with up to a 4.5 metre/15 foot diameter that can accomodate dancers, motorcycles, and even cars for a showstopping presentation that's hard to ignore. Fully sealed, the balls allow an occupant to walk on land, water, or even a sea of hands, all the while looking like they're trapped in a soap bubble.

Scranimals (Hardcover)
We're sailing to
Scranimal Island,
It doesn't appear on
most maps....
Scranimal Island
is where you will find
the fragrant RHINOCEROSE,
the cunning BROCCOLIONS.
And if you are really, really lucky
and very, very quiet,
you will spot
the gentle, shy PANDAFFODIL.
(You may even hear it yawning
If the morning's just begun,
Watch its petals slowly open
To embrace the rising sun.
So put on your pith helmet and prepare to explore a wilderness of puns and rhymes where birds, beasts, vegetables, and flowers have been mysteriously scrambled together to create creatures you've never seen before -- and are unlikely to meet again! Your guides -- Jack Prelutsky, poet laureate of the elementary school set, and two-time Caldecott Honor artist Peter Sis -- invite you to join them on an adventure you will never forget!
About the Author

It's hard to believe, but the homegrown Vietnamese International Film Festival is already 10 years old.
What started in October 2003 with a group of local Vietnamese Americans screening a handful of previously released films for friends, family and the curious public has blossomed into a full-fledged international film fest, with multiple venues and a record 69 films scheduled, including a number of world and U.S. premieres.
The sixth biennial festival opens Thursday with the first public screening of "Beyond the Mat," a wrestling movie and coming-of-age tale directed by Van M. Pham. "ViFF," as organizers and fans call it, will continue through the weekend, resume April 11-14 and close with "War Witch," an award-winning and Oscar-nominated drama directed by Kim Nguyen.
"It's just becoming more international," said Ysa Le, co-director of the film fest and one of its founders. "You can see a lot of different types of film – they cover a lot of different topics and various genres. The quality has been going up from the first year, because the filmmakers have become more mature in their careers. Technically, they're more advanced. We expect to have an awesome ViFF."
ViFF is produced by the Vietnamese American Arts and Letters Association, or VAALA, and UCLA's Vietnamese Language and Culture club. It has become the largest Vietnamese film festival in the United States, and possibly outside of Vietnam.
For volunteer organizers such as Le and Helena Tran, ViFF is part of an ongoing aspiration of bringing Vietnamese arts and culture to a broader audience.
"I really believe that film can play a big role in preserving and promoting one's culture," said Helena Tran, a Garden Grove resident and treasurer of ViFF and VAALA. "We've made a huge contribution toward helping the filmmakers with a Vietnamese background to follow and achieve their dreams. I also feel like I've grown a lot, just being part of ViFF, as a person. It's helped me to be more mature."
For filmmakers such as "Beyond the Mat's" director, Pham, the festival is an opportunity to screen a new film in front of a supportive audience and build word of mouth, which is critical in the movie industry.
"I want to give back to the community first and get general feedback on it," said Pham, a graduate of Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. "To have ViFF around, as a filmmaker, it definitely provides a platform where I can get that grassroots support."
Pham's wrestling movie, set in a suburban Ohio high school, stars John Wynn as Aaron Miller, a Vietnamese American teenager who was adopted by a white family as a baby. "I wanted to cast an Asian in a movie in a nonstereotypical role," Pham said. "The wrestling is based on my own experience."
After the opening-night screening at Edwards University Town Center 6 in Irvine, a gala will be held at Steelhead Brewing Co., also in the University Center shopping district, across from UC Irvine.
On Friday from 11 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana will host Senior Citizens Day, with free film admission to all attendees 60 and older with ID. At 7 p.m. at Edwards University, the festival will present the U.S. premiere of "Scandal," a Vietnamese-language film directed by Victor Vu, a onetime Fountain Valley resident. Vu, who has shown at ViFF before, has gained quite a following in Vietnam, setting box-office records there and producing popular movies at a breakneck pace.
On Saturday at 1 p.m., the festival will present short films at Edwards University, followed at 4 p.m. by "In the Name of Love," a dark, romantic thriller written and directed by Luu Huynh.
At 6 p.m. Saturday, ViFF will present its Inspiration Awards at Edwards University, with a special tribute and award presentation to Tran Anh Hung, director of "The Scent of Green Papaya," an Academy Award nominee for best foreign language film and winner of the Golden Camera Award at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival.

EARLY CASE MANAGEMENT (ECM) is a five-prong model used in family court that requires intensive judicial involvement very early in the case to tailor a case management plan and, in many cases, facilitate an expedited settlement. The five components include:
1) Initial Case Management Conference (ICMC) -- a meeting where the parties and attorneys appear before the judge within three weeks of case filing.
2) Preliminary Data Sheets -- a document submitted by the parties that identifies issues and assists the judge in preparing for the ICMC.
3) Judicial Presentation -- at the ICMC, the judge helps the parties identify their major issues and speaks candidly about the choices available for resolution on each issue.
4) Stipulated, Tailored Case Management Plans -- also as a part of the ICMC, the judge engages the parties and counsel to develop a stipulated case management plan tailored to the specific issues of the case.
5) Ensuring Continued Case Management -- at the conclusion of the ICMC, the next court contact is scheduled, which is usually within 45 to 60 days after the ICMC; the judge is available to triage case plan implementation disputes that may arise during the first 30 to 120 days following the ICMC.
EARLY NEUTRAL EVALUATION (ENE) is a voluntary, confidential, high quality, affordable, prompt, evaluative alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process focused on generating durable settlements. In social ENE (SENE), custody and parenting time issues are addressed. In financial ENE (FENE), financial and marital estate issues are addressed.
This site includes general information about the Minnesota ECM/ENE Statewide Initiative, as well as resources for ENE programs and evaluators.

Ram 2500 models are intended for the most extreme personal-towing needs, while the 3500 models are aimed at heavy commercial use by ranchers or construction crews. With diesel model's gains in fuel efficiency, as well as other maintenance-related improvements, running costs should be down versus these trucks' predecessors.
Even compared to the other latest heavy-duty trucks, the Ram 2500 and 3500 HD models have some of the best-appointed, most luxurious and most attractive interiors, picking up much of the look and some of the high-line materials from the latest light-duty Ram trucks.
Compare the 2015 Ram 3500 against similar models
The Ram HD was fully redesigned last year, so this year it only gets a couple of minor updates. Top-of-the line 3500 models, when equipped with the most powerful diesel engine, now make more torque. In addition, the maximum payload of those models has been increased as well, all the way up to 7,390 lbs.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission

Below are the available colors for the 2015 Ram 3500. Select the color to see a close-up view.
The 2015 Ram Heavy Duty pickups boast the highest tow ratings among one-ton pickups. Ram HDs offer more engine and transmission choices than competitors and a range of interiors from commercial-friendly to luxury.
The Ram 2500 (three-quarter ton) and Ram 3500 (one-ton) series were redesigned for the 2010 model year then were heavily revised for 2013, so changes for 2015 are minimal. Price changes are likewise minimal.
Maximum towing for the 2015 Ram 2500 is approximately 18,000 pounds and for the Ram 3500 it is 30,000 pounds; top payload approaches 4000 pounds for a Ram 2500 and 7320 pounds on Ram 3500. Like all full-size pickup trucks, the maximum tow rating and maximum load rating apply to different versions and not simultaneously. Ram's payload numbers are fully competitive, the 3500's towing ability is literally tons better than challengers and only one pickup, an F-450, tows more. (Most HD pickups pulling a trailer rated for anything near their maximum load capacity may require some sort of driver's license beyond the norm or an endorsement.)
Chrysler's 383-hp Hemi 5.7-liter V8 with 6-speed automatic is the standard powertrain; a CNG version is available but very limited. Ram's 410-hp 6.4-liter Hemi is designed for regular unleaded fuel and has cylinder deactivation for lower light-load fuel consumption. Most models offer at least two powertrain choices, though Power Wagons come only with the 6.4-liter V8.
The 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel comes in three variants: 350-hp, 660 lb-ft with 6-speed manual; 370 hp, 800 lb-ft with 6-speed automatic; 385-hp, 865 lb-ft with 6-speed automatic on the MaxTow package.
Ram HD rides well and cruises quietly by heavy-duty pickup standards but you can't compare the ride to a car, nor noise from six tires, lots of airflow and trailer hardware. We found the Ram 2500 with rear air suspension rode quite comfortably empty or towing, while four-door Ram 3500s towed comfortably into the 28,000-pound range. As with most full-size pickups, the four-door crew cabs tend to ride more nicely and isolate from vibration better due to their longer wheelbase and better body mounts.
Equipment levels vary from the basic Ram Tradesman's rubber-vinyl coverings and crank windows to top trim levels with heated steering wheel, heated/ventilated front seats, driver memory system, configurable instrument cluster and text-to-voice infotainment systems. All cabs are roomy but the Ram MegaCab offers more cabin lounging space than any HD pickup.
The Ram Power Wagon comes only as a 2500 4WD gas-engine, but it's offered in a couple of trim levels. Unique pieces include suspension, wheels, tires, differentials, winch and running height. Power Wagon does not tow or carry quite as much as a regular Ram 2500 can but more than most so-called off-road models and much more than any three-quarter-ton pickup. It's also the only vehicle sold in North America with a winch and a warranty.
Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 Heavy Duty models compete with Ford Super Duty, Chevrolet Silverado HD, and GMC Sierra HD pickups. Ram HD shares many interior elements and styling cues with Ram 1500 models, though they are not identical. Ram 3500 is also offered in a cab/chassis version, with straight frame rails and commercial intent just like the Ram 4500 and Ram 5500 series.
Ram HDs are a compelling choice for anyone in need of a heavy-duty pickup truck. Ram Heavy Duty models are an excellent choice for anyone pulling big travel trailers, multi-car race trailers, big boats or a stable of horses. They are a good choice for anyone who has work to do, be it hauling construction tools and materials or substituting for a medium-duty when a primary business rig is on downtime.
The 2015 Ram 2500 and 2015 Ram 3500 Heavy Duty pickups come in Tradesman, SLT, Outdoorsman, Power Wagon, Laramie, and Laramie Longhorn trim levels, plus regional SLT packages such as the Big Horn and Lone Star. Three cab configurations are available: Regular, Crew Cab, Mega Cab. Two bed lengths (6-foot, 4-inch and 8-foot) are offered, along with a choice of four wheelbases. Ram 3500 models are available with single or dual rear wheels (SRW or DRW). The Power Wagon is Crew Cab only; Ram HD regular cab is Tradesman or SLT trim only; Mega Cabs come only with the short bed.
Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 come standard with the 5.7-liter V8 and 6-speed automatic; no manual is offered for the V8s. A factory-built CNG (natural gas) unit is available on a few Ram 2500 Crew Cab long-box models. The 6.4-liter Hemi gas engine is available on most trims, including dual-rear wheel 3500. The Cummins 6.7-liter turbodiesel is available in three power levels with three corresponding transmissions. On most Ram HD models, part-time 4WD (manual or electric-shift) adds about $3,000.
Ram Tradesman models are commercial-grade: black bumpers, grille and mirrors, crank windows on regular cab (power windows and locks on others), vinyl 40/20/40 seat, steel wheels and a manual-shift transfer case on 4WD. Vinyl floor covering is standard and can be ordered in place of carpet on all but Laramie models. Ram Tradesman comes standard with an automatic transmission, air conditioning, Class V hitch with 4/7-pin plugs, AM/FM Uconnect 3.0 stereo, cruise control, locking tailgate and tilt steering wheel. Options for Ram ST are plentiful, including a diesel engine (which adds front tow hooks and cruise control), power heated and towing mirrors, integrated trailer brake controller, sliding rear window, spray-in bedliner, floor mats, cloth upholstery, DVD/HDD and Sirius audio, limited-slip differential, skid plates, RamBox or fifth-wheel/gooseneck prep, various option groups, and choices for wheels, tires and axle ratios.
Ram SLT adds power mirrors, remote keyless entry, power windows (including rear windows on four-doors), carpeting, cloth upholstery, electric-switched transfer case, chrome wheels, sliding rear window, in-dash tire-pressure display (2500 only) and the integrated trailer brake controller. Some notable SLT options are fog lamps, CHMSL bed/rear camera, heated power towing mirrors, forged aluminum wheels, bucket seats and console, power seats, adjustable pedals and driver memory system, moonroof, navigation, Uconnect phone, remote start, back-up camera, security system, and rear park assist.
Ram Outdoorsman is a package for Ram 2500 and 3500 Crew cabs based on an SLT package with some additional extras. Standards include gray painted bumpers and fender flares, two-tone paint, body-color grille/black insert, fog lights, power folding/heated mirrors with signals, HomeLink, mud/slush floor mats, 115-VAC outlet, power split-bench seat, leather-wrapped wheel, LT265/70R17E on/off-road tires on forged aluminum wheels, 7-inch TFT info display, Uconnect 8.4-inch touchscreen AM/FM/sat/Bluetooth/voice nav-ready audio, security system, limited-slip differential, tow hooks, and remote start. Primary options are a moonroof, engines, navigation and park sensors.
Ram Big Horn and Ram Lone Star editions are packages based on a Ram SLT with some Outdoorsman parts and Uconnect 5.0 touchscreen audio with Bluetooth and satellite radio.
Power Wagon models come only as 2500 Crew Cab. Power Wagons get electric locking front and rear differentials, a front antiroll bar disconnect, specific suspension with Bilstein shocks, 32-inch BFGoodrich off-road tires, a 12,000-lb Warn winch, full skid plates, 4.10:1 gears and 6.4-liter V8. Three trim levels parallel the Tradesman, SLT and Laramie trim (and most options) of other HD Rams.
Ram Laramie adds more chrome, power adjustable pedals and heated mirrors on driver memory system, dual-zone climate control, 115-VAC outlet, universal door opener, 10-way/6-way power heated leather seats, heated leather steering wheel, nine-speaker DVD/HDD surround-sound audio, rear park sense, and security system. Laramie upgrades are generally limited to chrome packages, towing mirrors, skid plates, rear window defroster, heated/ventilated power bucket seats with floor console, moonroof, navigation, rearview camera and wheel and axle ratio choices.
Laramie Longhorn is automatic only. Four-door cab only, it adds to a Laramie with filigree leather upholstery, leather on the dash and door panels, wood trim, Berber floor mats, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, leather-wrapped shift knob, navigation with Sirius Travel Link, remote start, unique instrument graphics, polished aluminum wheels and spray in bed liner. Options are few: skidplates, axle ratio, limited-slip differential, smart beam headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, alternate wheel finishes and rear seat entertainment system.
Laramie Limited is the top-line, four-door cab only. Relative Longhorn it gets body-color bumpers, standard RamBox, piped Natura Plus black leather interior, 20-inch polished aluminum wheels, keyless entry/start, smart-beam headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, and logo floormats.
Safety features on all HD Rams include dual front multi-stage airbags, side curtain airbags, front side airbags, adjustable height front belts, LATCH child-seat anchors, child-protection rear door locks, stability and trailer sway control, anti-lock brakes on all wheels, hill-start assist and tire-pressure monitors (2500 only).
Ram Heavy Duty pickups got revised styling for 2010. For 2013, headlamps and tail lamps were updated, chrome and available power folding mirrors added, along with Longhorn's long running boards. A spray-in bedliner and simple fifth-wheel/gooseneck out-fitting help the truck end of things. There were no significant changes for 2014 or 2015.
With a forward tilt to the grille and an upward, inward point to the headlights, grille and bumper, the heavy-duty nose looks like a stout blunt instrument, rather like the point on an anvil. There are four choices in grilles, the pinnacle a chrome mesh arrangement.
While the style and lights are from the 1500, only the latter are the same parts. The Ram HD's grille is larger than that of the Ram 1500 models to allow more cooling air in, the bumper is reshaped, and the hood has a larger central bulge and faux louver contouring, but the easiest way to distinguish a non-dually HD from the 1500 is the gap above the bumper: The 1500 has no such gap.
Upper-trim trucks get projector headlamps with LED ancillary lamps, and LEDs in back. Taken from the 1500, they provide the same visibility improvements, and access covers are fitted for easier alignment and bulb changes.
Ram HD Crew Cab is comparable to competitor crew cabs in size and is about the same size as the Ram 1500 Crew Cab. The Ram HD Crew Cab has four forward-hinged doors.
The ultra-long Mega Cab uses the same rear doors as the Crew but adds interior inches behind the doors.
Crew Cab and Mega Cab both come with a 6-foot, 4-inch box. You can get an 8-foot box on any Crew Cab except Power Wagon. The short box looks stubby behind the imposing Mega Cab and you'll want to consider a slider hitch if you tow a fifth-wheel; you can not get a Mega Cab long-bed as it would be unwieldy anywhere outside the Great Plains.
Dual rear wheel models (DRW), including the Mega Cab, use a single outside panel for the wide rear fenders to eliminate seams and fasteners that might prove problematic long term. And the bed sides are steel, for easier straightening than fiberglass if you ding one.
In terms of sleekness, Ram HD slots between the GM HD and Ford Super Duty pickups: perceptively bigger and more angular than the Silverado HD yet smoother than the Super Duty. Very mild fender flares of various colors are used on some trims. Power Wagon models offer a graphics package with plenty of wallpaper.
Roof clearance lamps, government-mandated for vehicles like dual-rear-wheel pickups that exceed a certain width, use clear lenses for a better-integrated look; the satellite antenna is between them so cab-over campers and contractor racks won't knock it off. Upper-trim mirrors have puddle lamps. Towing mirrors have turn-signal repeaters and a separately adjustable, much larger wide-angle element at the bottom (in tow position); in the retracted position the outboard wide-angle element is very useful in traffic, tight trails and parking areas as you can view the rear tires. Worth noting, you can adjust the electric mirrors without having the truck switched on. We found the towing mirrors to be very good, providing an excellent view rearward; some offer power folding.
A RamBox is optional on 6-foot, 4-inch bed models. The RamBox houses large lockers along the top of each bed-side for stowing anything that will fit, including fishing rods and long-handle shovels or about a gross of your favorite beverage cans on ice. Downsides are a drop in payload and limited use of over-rail bed covers, racks or campers.
A tailgate lock is standard. However, the tailgate is not heavily damped, so it will thud if you just let it go. (Get a helper if you remove it because it's heavy). On trucks with rearview cameras, the lens is far enough from the latch so you won't scratch it opening the gate, and it gets decent protection and snow/ice rejection from the tailgate's upper lip. A secondary rearview option places the camera near the center brake light atop the rear cab for easier kingpin hitching, and the load can be checked in motion (the standard camera image display moves to the inside mirror). Bed rails are protected from load scuffing, and the bed is contoured for 2x4s and 2x6s to make it dual-level. A spray-in bedliner is a factory option.
The Ram Heavy Duty cabin is basically the same as that of the Ram 1500; the main differences are features, shifter locations and the floor.
Materials and trim are appropriate by model line, be they the base truck or a Laramie Longhorn Mega Cab with Ram's head embosses on the seatbacks and console and pouch-like map pockets on the seatbacks. We found no fit-and-finish issues. The Longhorn's low-gloss woodwork is unique, and few shiny surfaces generate glare to bother the occupants. Although a vinyl floor is standard on only the base Tradesman model you can order it with a more upscale interior if it's only your boots that get filthy. Thick mats designed for muck and slush are standard on the Outdoorsman but are available through Mopar accessories.
The Regular Cab has plenty of room for two people, three across if you don't mind the floor hump or have a manual gearbox. The biggest guy we could find who claimed to be "325 on a good day†had no qualms about space.
The Crew Cab offers essentially the space of a Regular cab front seat in the back seat as well. Most Crew Cabs have a split folding rear seat and a center armrest, and all of them have three complete baby seat anchor sets and three adjustable headrests that reach high enough for adults. The back seats flip up for cargo space, with a flat floor underneath. Coat hooks are above the rear window. The rear window can be powered open/close and a defrost-able window is available on most models.
The Mega Cab is nine inches longer than the Crew Cab. It has an extra five inches of rear seat legroom (more than some Rolls-Royce sedans) plus space behind the reclining seatback, and with the seats folded flat offers up 72 cubic feet of lockable cargo space, considerably more than behind the middle row in a Chevy Tahoe SUV. But plan on a lot of AC use in warm climes, as the only vents in back are on the floor.
We found the seats quite comfortable and widely adjustable, whether in the buckets or the front bench split 40/20/40. The seat cushion and backrest adjust as a unit, unlike the separate component approach that makes you go back-and-forth to get both pieces where you like. Lateral support is notably improved over earlier models without adding any difficulty to entry and exit. Big 4WD trucks are by design tall but side steps are available. Power adjustable pedals are available that combine with a tilt wheel and power seat adjustments to accommodate most of the population. You can get a heated steering wheel and ventilated cooling front seats to maximize driver comfort; no telescoping wheel is offered.
Instrumentation varies by trim. Base models have temp/fuel on gas engines, fuel and DEF diesel exhaust fluid level on diesels, but details about cooling and pressure are available in the digital display between mph and rpm. Upper trims add two more instruments and a central 7-inch TFT (thin-film transistor) that's configurable and calls up myriad information and graphics; e.g. exhaust braking horsepower, trailer brake gain, economy a few ways, etc. Regardless of gauge display all menus run from steering wheel spokes, and most models have audio controls on the back of the wheel spokes.
The center dash screen also varies in size from a simple radio-and-settings 3-inch touchscreen to the 8.4-inch with navigation. No vehicle is perfect but the Ram's voice options work quite well and echoes other Chrysler products with the same screen. We had no visibility issues with any version screen with sun washout or using polarized lenses, and it's quiet enough for easy hands-free phone or text-to-voice.
Switchgear is relatively straightforward, with audio and navigation controls above climate controls in the center stack, plus operating controls for the Tow/Haul mode, exhaust brake and so on; it gets busy on top-line models with all the switch blanks filled. On electric-shift 4WDs the switch is on the left side of the center panel and includes a Neutral position for being flat-towed. The trailer brake controller is below the headlight switch to the left about knee-high, and some drivers reported the steering wheel partially obscured it.
Side pillars are larger than in some cars but seating position means they don't intimidate. The bodywork is reasonably well defined for close quarter maneuvering by new-truck standards, and the rear park sensors and/or cameras will get you within inches.
Interior storage is extensive with forty-odd places to put things of innumerable sizes. Upper and lower door pockets are complemented by a variety of shapes from the broad tray on the dash that we emptied on the first corner to the under-floor storage areas behind the front seats; you can't reach these from the driver's seat but the liners are removable for cleaning and locks are available.
The audio and entertainment systems bring plenty of options and sonic performance that benefits from a relatively quiet interior. Partial credit must go to the noise and vibration tuning that includes liquid-filled body mounts that help make this the quietest Ram heavy-duty yet without adding much weight.
At minimum a Ram Heavy Duty is more than 19 feet long, six-and-a-half feet wide, six feet tall, needs nearly 3.5 12-foot traffic lanes to execute a U-turn and is three-tons of sink-in-hot-pavement truck. If you haven't got a lot of weight to carry or pull, a 1500 will probably serve better. If you need to tow or haul, however, you've come to the right place.
Once accustomed to the outside dimensions, the Ram HD is not hard to drive. You need to allow a bit more space for stopping distance than the average car but that's easy given the visibility from the higher driving position. The steering is reasonably quick, and the 3500 4WD's steering feels almost as good as the old trucks' rack-and-pinion syteering and independent suspension (the HD's are now a solid front axle on 2 or 4WD). You'll be twisting the wheel more than a car to make the same turn, the Ram changes direction easily and we couldn't overwhelm the steering pump (making it sluggish and heavy) in parking lot maneuvering or threading a 4WD through mud, trees and rock.
There are good reasons why many enthusiast magazines don't do handling tests on HD pickups because handling and precision are relative terms. The Ram changes directions admirably and has predictable characteristics, but start horseplay in a vehicle where the rear axle alone weighs as much as a big Harley and you'll learn the hard way what those strange terms on NASCAR broadcasts mean.
What stands out the most on the current Ram is the quiet cabin and smooth ride quality, which have come a long way since the pre-2010 models. We found all three cabs quiet and solid, but the Crew Cabs and Mega Cabs were superior and nearly shudder free. Part of this solid feel is suspension tuning and part of the smoothness is the advanced body mounting system.
Ram 2500's coil/link rear suspension improves its ride and handling characteristics just as it did for the 1500. Optionally the 2500 may be equipped with full air suspension in back that levels automatically (two heights are available for towing) for load and trailer, meaning no more headlight adjustment and more consistent driving dynamics. The 3500 offers air-assist for the rear suspension, so you can get the huge load ratings with a gentler ride empty.
There is now no single aspect of the Ram HD that will wear you out. At 75 mph on moderately good pavement we floored the pedal on a diesel and the engine wasn't heard over the road noise and wind noise wasn't heard above it, either. We could still converse in regular tones, even with riders in the rear seat. Since it revs higher, the Hemi comes across no quieter than the diesel except at cold idle.
The standard 5.7-liter Hemi V8 develops 383 horsepower at 5600 rpm and, like any good truck engine, it makes more torque than horsepower, with 400 pound-feet at 4000 rpm. The new 6.4-liter Hemi (which shares nothing with Chrysler's SRT-division 6.4) rates 410 hp and 429 lb-ft of torque. Besides making more peak power and torque, it makes the same power as the 5.7-liter 1000 rpm earlier, it has cylinder deactivation to run only four cylinders under light load, it's recommended fuel is less expensive than the 5.7's, and it typically has notably higher payload and tow ratings. On a new 7000-pound 4WD 2500 over a route consisting of winding mountain roads and highway cruising we averaged almost 13 mpg.
The 6-speed automatic transmission shifts as it should, and if your primary truck need is carrying things or ultra-cold-weather plowing the Hemis are often better choices than the diesel. Yes, they will use more fuel, but they weigh less, and the $6500-$10,000 saved can buy lots of gas. Towing is where the diesel shines.
The Cummins turbodiesel is a proven option. Every version has big cooling measures, including two radiators, two ATF coolers on automatics, and a thick intercooler, to allow high tow ratings. Torque is 660 lb-ft at 1500 rpm on the manual, the standard automatic is 370 hp and 800 lb-ft, and the MaxTow high output engine is 385 hp and 865 lb-ft. If your occasional trailer is not more than 20,000 pounds or so, it might be wiser to choose the 370/800 engine and 4.10:1 axle ratio which rates about the same tow rating as the 385/850 with 3.42:1 but costs thousands less.
Our limited road drive in a lightly loaded 2500 4WD diesel showed close to 20 mpg, but as always your driving style and load will have far greater effect on your economy. The diesel exhaust fluid fills next to fuel, and even factoring DEF costs, per-mile fluid costs should improve by double-digit percentages.
Diesel exhaust brakes are multi-stage. You can choose maximum retarding whenever your foot's off the accelerator or an auto mode that aims to maintain the speed set, such as holding downhill speed to 60 mph rather than slowing until you disable it. The service brakes were strong enough to stop a 30,000-pound trailer from 45 mph on level ground without smoking or drama when we stressed them by disabling the trailer brakes.
The Cummins inline-6 is a medium-duty truck engine, with exceptional robustness, longevity and low-rpm grunt. Torque is what gets a load in motion, and with the Cummins making nearly as much torque when you let the clutch out as the 5.7 does at 4000 rpm, it is the obvious choice for heavy towing. Many RVers report better fuel mileage towing with their Cummins than a Hemi gets in an empty truck.
The integrated trailer brake controller is available on most models and hard to beat. Besides adjustable gain you can choose from light or heavy, electric or electric-over-hydraulic trailer brakes. We tried both heavy settings and each was capable of locking six or eight tires on a 14-plus-ton trailer with gain set at 7-7.5 of 10.
The frame now uses a Class V (2.5-inch) conventional receiver hitch. A massive mid-bed crossmember makes adding a fifth-wheel or gooseneck and tie-down points much easier, and a Mopar accessory installed at the dealer will be covered under the truck warranty. Rear trailer plugs are standard, and in-bed plugs are easy to add.
The Power Wagon needs to be considered a separate model based not only on equipment but also performance. Locking differentials and a front antiroll bar disconnect give excellent low-speed off-highway performance. It's also quite good at speed across a gravel road or dry wash, though not a direct match for Ford's first-generation F-150 Raptor, which cost about the same with the 411-hp 6.2-liter engine, has a regular or Crew Cab, but offers less of the load and towing capacity of a Power Wagon.
With the MaxTow package the top ratings for the Ram are 30,000 trailer and 37,600 combined. Tow ratings for the Ram HD range from 10,540 pounds to 30,000 pounds; adding a larger cab, more lux or 4WD will tend to lower the tow rating. However, even the fanciest, largest Ram HD can be loaded with passengers and payload and still pull 10 tons.
Maximum payload varies by similar parameters although sometimes the 4WD version carries more. Load capacity runs from 1400 pounds (a CNG Crew Cab 2500 long bed) to more than 7300 pounds (2WD regular cab long bed 3500 dually). Ram 3500 is currently the only pickup to tow 15 tons that does not require stiffer, pricier 19.5-inch wheels.
Note that virtually all pickup truck tow ratings apply to a truck with a driver and only the mechanical options required; any cargo, people, or aftermarket equipment you've added (winch, tool box, fifth-wheel hitch, etc.) will have to be subtracted from the max ratings. Double-check everything if you will be near the limits.
The Ram HD is so strong, the top level is essentially a premium car cabin on a medium-duty tow rig. Load limits are high and towing ability is unequalled, whether you're farming, a hot-shotter or double-towing a big fifth-wheel with a dinghy behind it. At the lower end, a $40,000 Hemi Crew Cab 4WD makes a useful workweek truck to get the job done, and occasional weekend family tow-rig or big-box hauler that won't break the bank.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

Please use this page to document all the ideas and wishes you'd like to see in Groovy.
- Support standard for statement. (Note: supported by the JSR grammar.)
e.g. for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
{... I don't know whether the standard for statement is still not implemented till beta-10, or Groovy will not support it in 1.0 release.
- New function for integers to reverse bits.
- Concatenate string with null object. 'Test'+null will produce 'Test'.
- Function/Global method 'NVL'. This method avoid null/empty string value of object. E.g. NVL(null,'Test')='Test' and NVL('','Test')='Test'
- Joining of list without null elements.
e.g. [null,'Hello','world',null].join(' ') will produce 'Hello world'
- Simple and Robust way of executing external processes instead of using ProcessBuilder. Make the convenient string.execute() handle blocked IO streams / threading so users are not required know or understand about ProcessBuilder
- Import Static. Just like in Java 1.5.
- More Enumerable methods for lists, arrays and maps (like map, pluck, invoke, ...)
- Make logical operators (||, &&...) return the value instead of the boolean equivalent
- Make a list and create an auto mapping:
- would like methods to return more than one return value (a la ruby)
Property reference operator
Groovy 1.0 already has the method reference operator:
However we do not have anything similar for properties. i.e. we should be able to get a reference to a wrapper object for any object property, and be able to get and set the property via the reference, and get the original property name and owning bean:
This would be useful in Grails and other apps that need the user to specify in their code a reference to another propery, for example in GORM declaring the list of "embedded" properties:
class AddressBookEntry
Property access in groovy is not problematic using GPath or subscript operator anyway, so this may not seem so useful. However if we could get some compile-time checking of the validity of the property that would be a nice win. Perhaps combining with the @ operator:
Altho a tad heiroglyphic, this would allow the compiler to ensure that "home" and "work" do exist as declared properties on the class or its ancestors, and hence fail fast.
named parameters everywhere
the proposal is that for functions defined inside groovy or where the debug information is availlable can be called with the map construct to provide named parameter calling everywhere
void helloworld(name, title) {println "hello $title $name"}
can be called as
helloworld( title:"mr.", name:"koen" )
this feature would largely improve general readability of code and imho very often enough information should be availlable to perform the matching (certainly for groovy functions, very often for java binaries with appropriate debug information)

Perhaps, but isn't the crux of your argument that more people with guns means less violence?
Not quite, and certainly not as in More Guns, Less Crime. It's not that simple, though in some sense it could be said some guns [in the hands of citizens rather that just in the hands of police], less crime. That does seem to be the overall effect, but unlike Lott and Mustard (economists rather than criminologists or sociologists) I don't think the research (as of ten years ago) establishes more than a somewhat insignificant positive effect, it only applies to confrontational crime (i.e. the kind of crime that means violence, which is the important thing), and it takes relatively few concealed carriers for the rest of us to enjoy what's called the free-rider effect (that's what the entire Sky Marshal strategy is based upon), so only in a very limited sense does more guns equate to less crime. The conclusion is quite overstated by the book and the research upon which it's based. I don't recommend More Guns, Less Crime unless you want to use the data yourself and get into some extremely detailed analyses. Lott and Mustard did provide criminologists and sociologists with a lot of good data, so their research is useful, they just aren't the people who should be working with it (some economists, it seems, would like to be able to overstep their boundaries with no more ramifications than when medical researchers do).

Anatel is not a commercial brand, it's a Federal Communications Regulatory Agency from Brazil, just like FCC. http://www.anatel.gov.br
Shoulda been Adama! BSG Rules!
Because I have a laptop that outperforms this one for about a quarter the price. I mean, if the impressive thing is that it is small, then yes...I guess. But those tiny keyboards make my hands hurt. But if we are talking about sheer functionality, good lord...take that 2,000 dollars and get a Xi Computers power desktop...and then 800 dollars of other stuff.
I would love to see an HP IQ505/6/7 etc. model cracked because the model has a very interesting design. I own one of these models and I love to reverse engineer things (I didn't mean to say that) just to see how they are made. I own an IQ505 and would just love to see the chassis/Bezel opened and how this thing is all compacted into an all-in-one form factor. Please crack it!! Thanks, gerard haughey
have often wondered how the sim slot works. customer service doesn't seem to understand. anybody???
I made the huge mistake of investing in another "advanced" Dell product two years ago. It is the Dimension XPS2010, a large portable. Like the Adamo, it has a lot of components jammed into a very thin case. I purchased the computer with a "next day on-site business warranty." The computer was plagued by design problems from the beginning. The detachable keyboard connects by bluetooth, and has a rechargeable battery inside. Unfortunately, the charging circuit was "iffy" and occasionally the keyboard would die. Dell installed a new battery, but it turned out that wasn't the problem. When the computer was a year old, it died. Wouldn't even boot up. What followed was a sequence of events that made my blood boil. On every single service call, the Dell repairman came at least one hour past the already wide "window" of our appointment. On each call, they replaced one thing: memory, system card, graphics card. Some of the repairman had never worked on the unit before. I helped them out by providing the service manual I had downloaded from Dell, and loaned them my tools!! The graphics card uses a heat sink connected to a cooling fin via a metal tube with liquid nitrogen. Any failure of the heat sink causes the card to fry. They installed THREE graphics cards, each one of which died after about 30 minutes of successful operation. During these episodes, nobody ever thought to check the voltage on the AC adaptor!! Finally, I had enough, and asked Dell's online person to order a replacement unit. He said fine, and scheduled a replacement. After a week, I recontacted Dell and they claimed they had never agreed to any such thing! Finally, they re-agreed to send me a unit. Then nothing happened for another week. Dell had agreed to swap my hard drives into the replacment unit, but at the last minute they claimed they had done no such thing. My advice: SAVE THE TRANSCRIPTS of your online chats. After more than a month, Dell delivered a replacement computer. The "refurbished" unit arrived with --- A DEFECTIVE DVD BURNER!! Meanwhile, I discovered that the replacement battery on my Latitude notebook has had the price raised to $300. Gotta pay for those recalls somehow! My advice -- think twice before buying any Dell, but realize that heat is the enemy of electronic components, and any ultra thin computer's days are numbered on delivery.
I do not look forward to working on this unit since as it is, the newer Dell Studio's require extremely good hand eye coordination as well as a steady hand when removing WiFi and I/O ribbon cables during a sys. Bd replacement. Certainly adds a little more pressure for those of us who are already pushed for time when performing Dell Warranty work.
I'll stick with my X301 ThinkPad.
I never heard of an Anatel Bluetooh board. (Pic 40)
To me the most important thing is the weight. What is it?
Who takes these photos? If you're trying to show that the Adamo is thinner than the AirBook, you might consider using a photo that actually shows that there is a difference.
While Apple fans are willing to shell out almost any price for the latest from Jobs and company, I?m not sure the same can be said for Dell. Perhaps Dell is hoping to capture more of the enterprise executive market? Corporate IT departments that mostly support PCs may be more willing to deploy the Adamo than bring in a handful of Apples. Regardless of their motives, I think many individuals view Dell as a value brand. They?re the company of $699 laptops and $499 desktops (monitor not included). Are consumers ready for a ?luxury? product from Dell? What do you think? Take our quick poll and let us know: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/itdojo/?p=485
2K for a 1.2 ghz? They could have done a lot better.
Anatel is the FCC- equivalent in Brazil.. this is just a certification number.
A fix, please. The bluetooth adapter is not branded Anatel. Anatel is the acronym for Agencia Nacional de Telecomunicacoes (National Telecommunications Agency), Brazilian entity responsible for approving equipment that uses radio frequency, among others. Uma correcao, por favor. A placa bluetooth nao e da marca Anatel. Anatel e a sigla para Agencia Nacional de Telecomunicacoes, entidade brasileira encarregada de aprovar equipamentos que usam radiofrequencia, entre outros.
Both the manual and the battery states the voltage correctly. Li-Polymers have a nominal voltage of 3.7V each. Fully charged they are 4.2V each. Do the maths for 3 cells used in this case and you have 11.1V and 12.6V
..Put it back together and did it work? I'm an expert at taking things apart but I always have extra parts when I put them back together and it's always the parts that keep it from working.
This one part at a time, "I have no tools," scenario was my experience with Dell techs trying to repair my desktop. The techs were nice but arrived with only minimal stuff. They don't carry the obvious parts that they might need if the one they are sent with isn't the problem. The on site warranty looks great (and is better than sending the machine back) but it isn't what you would hope for.
First, the stupid name. The MB Air looks sleek and modern next to the boxy, dark Dell. A 1.2ghz CPU? This is what I would expect out of the Intel Atom. (Of course those machines are sub $400). Dell was one of the first cos selling the $500 laptop, I almost bought one. Now they think they are in the high-end market? Kind of like the new top of the line Hyundai sedan, they think its a Benz for 40k less. Thanks, I'll stick w/ my MB Pro.
Ready for a luxury laptop? Not in this economy.
First of all, I can't imagine why anyone would shell out that much money for a Dell, and second of all, no matter what's inside the box, it's still running Windows. Do you think Mac users buy a PowerBook Pro ($1,800) because the case is shiny? I don't think we're seagulls and we just go for the shiny-thing. It's the Mac OS that makes the Mac Hardware so attrative. Macs are easily integrated into the enterprise these days, so there's no reason, that I can see, for IT departments to keep the Mac out of the workplace. "Mostly support PCs" means not much support is required for Mac. I use a Dell and Vista all day at work, but I could do exactly the same thing, with a better user experience, if I had a PowerBook Pro and OS X.
So what if it's physically nearly identical to a Macbook Air? If it has Windows, it's dirt slow. I know whereof I speak. I've owned a dozen IBM Thinkpads over the years. They were extremely reliable...as a machine. But, they had WINDOWS. My new Macbook Pro (had it 6 months now) is amazing. I can set it on the desk, open it up, and by the time I pull out the chair and sit down, it's ready to use. I reboot about once a week, if that. I could go on. No, to me it's not worth a $1200 premium just to go for a thinner Windows machine.
... the 1000HE please, for 75% less.
I think the marks are for type approval seals of different countries. Definitely, it is a contraption made in China. I recognized another logo from NTC (Philippines) and the 'ubiquitous' fcc logo.
I wonder why I would pay so much for a laptop that has the same specs as a netbook...and in this bad economy too. What are we paying for? The 2GHz processor or the humongous size. Why is Dell making such a blunderous attempt into the Enterprise market at a time like this? Heads'll surely roll soon
Or you could install Windows on the MacBook Air. I'm not entirely certain what the point of the Adamo is when it's bigger, heavier, slower, louder, and more expensive than the MacBook Air. I used to criticize the MacBook Air, but Dell somehow made a laptop that's worse.
add Linux and make it a dual boot machine if you want it to boot faster and be more Linux like. Leopard is after all Linux-derived. I rely on Windows on my laptop and use hibernate and standby almost exclusively (other IT pros / consultants I know who use Windows tend to do the same), and only reboot once a week at a maximum. same frequency with my desktop. I love how Apple uses the "if we make the edge really thin, it will seem like the entire device is 1/10th the actual thickness" ploy. people are so easily convinced, it's comical...
sure thing there. only the name is worse, IMHO. but I have no idea why the Apple would give theirs the name of a wireless router.
Making something seem better than it really is is not unique to Apple, and remember "Nobody ever went bust from under-estimating the intelligence of the general population"
