I read a news article about this, and another that later reporting that the deputy turned herself in to police. There is no audio on the video posted below. I would like to know what the guy was saying. Not that would his verbal actions would justify being dumped. From my point of view, the other officers in the area didn’t seem to think much of the matter. I don’t if most of this did not witness the event.
Even on my worst day, I would never think about doing something like this; on the other hand, it does seem that there is only so far that people can be pushed. I’m sure this deputy will be punished, and it is probably justified.
If you are in the market to buy a new computer here is a few things to keep in mind.
1. At any Discount, Department or Electronics store, pretty much all of the computers are going to have Vista, except the Macs. You need at least 2 GB of ram for just a basic systems. Stay away from the ones with 1 GB or upgrade them to 2 GB.
2. Almost all the software are that new PC is trial software. It’s for the benefit of the computer manufacturer and not
you. Remove it all or have it done at the store if they can do it.
3. You need a decent antivirus and spyware protection application(s). Don’t get on the Internet without.
4. If you are buying a laptop, chances are you are going to need an extended warranty or insurance. If something happens to it, outside the manufacturers warranty, you’ll be better off buying a new one. If it is under the manufacturers warranty, then you will probably need to ship it back to them at your cost.
5. If you are going to being playing games or doing video editing then that really cheap Compaq or eMachine will probably not do the job. Look for something with an actual video card - 256 MB or 512 MB of ram.
6. Research on the Interent before going to the stores. Have an idea of what you want, how much you want to spend and what you are going to do with the computer. If you are going to do anything above surfing the Internet and burning CDs, then you’re going to need additional software.
7. Unless your computer is fried and you have to have one today, give yourself a month, just in case they don’t have the computer you want. Deals happen every week and you may just find a better computer then.
8. The best time to buy a computer is when you really need it. A better computer for the same amount or less will be out just after you bought you new system.
