No, it doesn't imply anything except that you will not voluntarily forfeit your right to a search. If the officer decides, he can call in the K9 unit. The K9 can check the vehicle and you, but still cannot go inside the vehicle without your consent. The only thing that would give probable cause is if the officer could visibly see something that would give him probable cause through the window, on your person, or the dog gets a "hit."

Prices of warranties change, just like the computers. One week Dell will sell a cheap machine with an expensive warranty, two weeks later, they will have a different deal with a good warranty... For someone who has spent so much time with these things, I'd sure think you'd have known that. I didn't suggest any such thing. What I said was that on the budget end systems, you can buy a pre-config'd name brand system cheaper than you can build one. Nothing in that statement is false. Yeah, ok... guarantee you I've been in this business longer than you have. No,

I don't believe I ever said Dell doesn't sell systems with Linux. Level of support depends on level you purchase. You pay for better techs, you talk to better techs, you get better service. I don't believe I ever said that I was doing end user support, did I? But, you are exactly right, most computer problems are user originated. In most cases, hardware warranties are never used...

I hate to break it to you, but no manufacturer will support an OS that their system didn't come with. They will tell you to call the vendor or manufacturer of the software. ...and I don't buy Dell's cheap stuff, so I don't deal with India. But, another little bit of information for you. If you do call Dell support, you can simply ask for a tech support person in the U.S. and they will transfer you. Been there, done that. I've got about 1200 PC's under me and I call Dell support quite often... never once had an issue with them.

First off, I think a lot of banks are under-handed, greedy, and severely lack customer service. However, what you described is really your own fault. Why do you think they bank should just float your transactions? They have to reroute their funds to cover your transactions and they SHOULD receive compensation for that. Should they receive the erroneous amounts they charge? Not in my opinion, BUT this is a free market society, if you don't like the way they do business, go some place else. It's not their fault that you share an account with dual cards and one of you forget to tell the

Again... Who said anything about the "premier warranty?" I just bought a fairly base model system for $399 about 2 weeks ago. The 1 year onsite warranty was $79. Still under $500. Then your friend needs to learn how to deal with support because that was likely a phone tech being a jerk and not doing what he is supposed to do. I had a customer with a system that a tech was onsite 3 times and she wasn't required to send it in. No, it's not limited... it's standing your ground on making them provide what you paid for... Sorry, but you are totally wrong.

Umm... you're not disagreeing. I believe it was stated that Dell or HP would be cheaper if building BUDGET systems, NOT high end gaming systems. As far as warranty, Dell offers about 4 different warranties for their products. Your friend got the wrong package, if he wanted a tech onsite to do it OR he told the support line that he would replace himself. And on a side not, Dell nor HP are "branded box assemblers." Each manufacturer their own system boards and memory. Obviously, processors and add in video cards are not manufactured by them, but their cases, power supplies, etc

This is absolutely true. 10-15 years ago, yes, you could build a DIY system a couple of hundred dollars cheaper than buying one. Today, companies like Dell and HP sell mostly budget systems. They are not the highest end systems, but for most people who do light spreedsheet, mostly internet, and a few nominal graphic games, these budget systems are perfect. Start adding bookoo's of memory and high end video cards, for gamers, and it gets expensive.... You can buy a nice Dell or HP unit for less than $500 if you watch the sales. They come practically ready to use, out of the box.

Unless you have a RAID controller, it will not look as one drive. In most modern systems, they don't use "master" and "slave" anymore. If you have an IDE drive, most systems for the last few years of IDE were "Cable select." While it's still a master/slave configuration, the controller sees which is which based on position on the cable. The drives mostly come preset as cable select but can be forced to use manual master/slave. Most newer desktop drive are SATA, in which one data cable per drive. They don't "daisy chain" like the older IDE drives. Your system board or interface board

And THAT is the key. It's still a pretty low percentage chance that you will ever be involved in one, BUT the numbers are rising, especially with the economy as it is... You have got to be ready and KNOW what you are going to do when it happens. People need to be ready, IF it ever happens to them.

And that's my point. My advice comes from experience and years of firearm training and instruction in personal and home defense. As I said, most people don't never think about all the things that can happen in a home invasion scenery. We may have different philosophies, but my opinion comes from experience and training and is share by the NRA and other certified instructors and law enforcement. Did I say WHEN you would call 911? So, if someone enters your house aggressively and you shoot them, you will not then call 911? You're just going to let them lay there, forever?

You are absolutely correct about the statistics. But, your last sentence is false. That's the same thing everyone else thinks. It's wrong and it's been proven wrong. The sound of a shotgun is less of a deterrent than you might think AND it means that you are unprepared for your attack. An armed invasion, ANY movement, sound, or light gives away your position. A home invader now knows where you are in your house. So, they will either avoid that area or they will confront the threat in that area. Your best option in home defense, is #1: exit the premises if you are able without

Ok, even then... #1 on your list. A shotgun is also a poor choice for in home personal defense, if that is the goal.

Ok, so you don't recommend the Judge because of it only having 5 rounds, but you DO recommend a .357/.38, which is most cases is only going to have 6 rounds (most snubbies only hold 5)? For home defense, I wouldn't recommend the Judge with shot shells either. Running the shot shells, the judge is a pretty strong kicker. With the .45LC's in it, it's a VERY tame and easy shooting gun. Running with shot shells is also risking too much collateral damage, just like a shotgun. Five or six shots for home defense is plenty. The key is to be able to shoot. If you need more than a couple

I highly do not recommend this gun. I have one that I bought to conceal carry when I am not able to conceal my .45. This gun is a VERY long trigger pull. It's double action only and the trigger/hammer are not predictable as to where the release is, due to the extremely long pull. Many people who have bought this gun are complaining of the same thing. The trigger pull is so long, it's extremely easy to throw your shot off. If the pull wasn't so long and unpredictable, it would be a fantastic little gun. It's got a good fit, the laser is easy to work, and it's nice and compa

You need to buy a gun specific for what you are going to do with it. Contrary to what some people thing, a shot gun is NOT a good in home defense weapon. No type of long gun is a good in home defense weapon (yes, even with a folding stock). Long guns limit your range of motion and prevent concealment behind doorways and other obstacles in your home. They also require more exposure of yourself to be able to properly shoot and acquire your target. A good handgun, semi-auto or revolver is better for that situation. If you are just starting out with a firearm, your better option would b

+1 to what Blondiega1 said... Also, I would give a treat after they have done their business. With the praise, this will help the positive reinforcement. Once they have mastered it and are doing good... only give the treat every other time and then just slowly ween them off getting the treat.

Uh... plenty. I have asthma... I played baseball all the way up through college and I am playing rec softball now.

Bring up Word either click HELP or hit F1. In the search type in "Mail merge" That sounds like what you are looking for... You can create a text file with peoples names, addresses, or any other info and then do a mail merge in to the document you want to do over and over. The merge will take the info from the list and populate your document.

Yes, I am sorry too... I had heard so much about you and how everyone raved about your work, I had no reservations about using you. The reason I did not say anything at the time the vehicle was picked up is because my wife picked up the car. I only noticed the problem when she got home. Yes, it was only $100 and I wanted a wash & wax with interior vacuuming and wipe down, as you stated. The problem is that there was wax streaks all over the car. The interior was in no way vacuumed out or wiped down. One of the reason the car was brought to you was to vacuum the interior and wipe

Not only is it illegal, it's dangerous. What happens if someone comes up and rear ends you? Most people are going to have their wheels cut ready to turn. Guess where you're going if that happens? Right in to oncoming traffic, HEAD ON. If you're wheels aren't cut, guess where you're going? Right in to the turn lane of the opposing traffic, where the is a good possibility of another car sitting, waiting to turn. Guess who's at fault in both cases? I just don't understand why people are in such a hurry. If you have to wait on the next leader arrow light cycle, is it REALLY g

There is nothing to set within spec on an IAC. It's nothing more than a by-pass valve. All it does is, when the air conditioner compressor kicks on or a heavy electrical load causes the alternator to load the engine down, open to allow a little extra air in to raise the idle speed up. They are just bolt on solenoid controlled by-pass valves... You are likely confusing this with the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) which IS adjustable and has to be adjusted within a specific range or it will cause erratic idling and poor drive-ability conditions.

Chrysler vehicles, for several years now, have had transmission problems once they reach the 75-100k mileage range. Been a master ASE tech for 24 years now... I'm an old school Mopar guy, but personally, I wouldn't go near a Chrysler vehicle with over 70k on the clock... They are notorious for transmissions going out. Want a durable transmission, get him to learn to drive a manual transmission. Manual transmissions will take a lot more abuse and will run longer mileage intervals than automatics, in most circumstances. If you really want an automatic, you're not going to beat

It will work both ways... it doesn't matter which way you hook it up, as long as you get the ground wire correct. It's AC (alternating current). With a light bulb, it doesn't care which side is hot and which side is neutral. It's just a heating coil that produces heat and light, when energized. Polarity, in a case like this, doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is the bare copper or green wires go to the ground.
