taco bull

also known as fast food, where there is no accountability or quality control because the corporations that own fast food pay off the inspectors to look the other way because that is a whole lot cheaper than paying a decent wage that would attract responsible workers and that is why the hands that make fast food are still wiping snot from their nose as they leave the bathroom without washing their hands because, after all, that is what teenagers do... the exceptions would not work fast food, after all... and yes, of course this is a broad generalization, but if you've ever watched the workers in a fast food store (or ever worked in one), then you know that there is so much truth in it, i'll let it stand...

so no wonder i stop at a taco bell to try their newest product and find it is not prepared as it is advertised... they probably didn't train the kid or insure he or she knew how to make the product they are spending millions to advertise... that would be quality control, after all... and once again i can drive by taco bell without craving any of their junk... every fear months or year or so i seem to need to remind myself that the food corporations do not care and more than any other corporation so it is foolish to expect them to feed me right...

another meaningless complaint registered with corporate america... in this case, corporate slop... and what did you have for dinner tonight?...

kaspersky sucks yet again

this is getting to the point where, in spite of my comfort level with the status quo and my desire not to change too much deep root stuff on a computer (like an anti-virus software or security suite), a change in software is a very real possibility as once again, kaspersky pure 3.0 almost shut down my computer and required me to stop what i was doing to turn off the automatic scan that will not run in the background without disconnecting my internet connection, slowing the computer to a crawl (or stop), and sometimes just locking the computer up completely... i've had kaspersky for years, i believe i am in my third 3 year subscription for multple computers, but it is getting worse again... if anyone can tell me how to set this annoying kaspersky pure 3.0 to not start an automatic scan when i am using the computer, like the computer must be idle for at least 30 minutes before it starts, i'd appreciate it... so i sent them this:

I have searched the knowledge base repeatedly for this "scheduled scan" "how do I stop a scheduled scan from running when I am using the computer?" That is what I want to know. I have idle scan on. The scans (full, critical, vulnerability) are set to run in the middle of the night. They often automatically turn on as I am using the computer and either disconnect my internet connection, slow the computer to a crawl, stop the computer completely, It is very annoying, delays work, and I sometimes lose work which is unacceptable and has be exploring alternatives when my 3 year license expires (this is my second or third 3 year license so I want to stay with Kaspersky, but the interruption of work must stop).

I just want to know how to stop the scheduled scan from starting when I am using the computer. I have not found a feature that sets the scheduled fan to wait until the computer has been idle for a specified period of time. That would be what I need.

Thanks,

and hopefully they will not tell me there is no such feature to configure Pure 3.0 to not interrupt an active CPU process and I must remember (cuz the biggest problem is i forget kaspersky does this and then have something lock up and must either reboot or wait for the unlocking to happen and hope it does cuz sometimes it doesn't) to manually open the console before i do anything else every time I wake the computer and wait for the scan to automatically start so i can press the stop or pause button which is just another way Kaspersky forces me to interrupt my work...

it's the before i do anything else that destroys any momentary inspiration for writing or immediate work that needs to be done or quick search for something, the three biggest reasons i have a computer in the first place so once again, if that is the only solution, kaspersky may just have to go...

he said just sayin'

Michael Jordan has won 24 #NBAFinals game. LeBron has already lost 16 of them. Just stating the facts people. Stop comparing already

The West is a bloodbath every year, while the East is a joke. Lebron won't go ANYWHERE near a Western Conference Team. #RealTalk #NBAFinals

Question should be asked could Heat accomplished 4 final runs in the West. I will answer that and say NO! Needs to be noted #NBAFinals

My take on this LeBron/Jordan stuff... Jordan never left Chicago to "team up" with another superstar to win a championship.... #NBAFinals

maybe they heard the fans of professional basketball teams and stopped pandering to the street ballers for one season... too late for many who are not into the brute force fighting sports... but maybe the refs will stop putting restrictions on finesse and true talent and stop rewarding bullying for a while...

the nba script remains the same

lebron can do no wrong, miami must win... lebron can bully physically and verbally, no problem... just ignore the blatant violation of rules because lebron brings the money in... miami cheats... miami bullies... tony parker was taken out of the game by a deliberate elbow to the gut, the wind up and blow was clear on replay... sacrifice a player and a flagrant foul to take out the other teams better player... hockey sucks because of that... basketball sucks because of that... sad the usa culture has come to that... lebron hits tony parker in the face then hits his hand, but because he screams at the refs there is no foul called and they give them a free time out to review the play... obvious foul, no call... just before that parker was about to start a fast break and the refs stop play because they 24 second clock ran out on miami... but parket already had the ball, so why stop play?... to stop the san antonio fast break... less than a minute later ginobli is hit in the face, no foul... then lebron falls down and a foul is called... cheaters prosper in the nba... the announcers ignore it in the last minute, the refs decide the game in the last minute, that is the nba script... pathetic and the miami greatness is tainted beyond repair... three years in a row the refs decide the key games... other players would be thrown out of games for yelling ar refs, for cursing like lebron does... he gets rewarded at the end of the game... there is no doubt lebron has amazing talent, but his talent is worthless as long as the refs are not holding him to the same rules as every other player...

and the class of the spurs... the coach puts the responsibility squarely on the the spurs lack of passing and that is definitely why they lost the game... whenever ginobli tries to go one on one and shoot stupid shots from outside in the last few minutes, the spurs lose... sure, the refs took leonard out of the game with cheap and bogus fouls... and definitely the refs gave miami extra points, without which miami would have lost... but the refs would have had to make even more flagrant bias calls for miami to win if san antonio did not have ginobli on the floor in the last few minutes... just like last year... he has his place and he is a great player, but he is not the one you want handling the ball in the last few minutes, not if you want to win... the announcers are such kiss ass ridiculous wastes - leonard is oh for two?... the same announcing team said before the game leonard was the difference in game one and that miami was in trouble,,, not miami can do no wrong... what a waste of time...

before game two i wondered if the nba would let san antonio have a fair shot at winning... they didn't... every year, the nba leaves a bad taste in the mouths of anyone who really knows basketball... their popularity is losing the mainstream, whether they see it or not...

kaspersky, dammit

i don't know if i am going to renew the kaspersky pure 3.0 license when it expires cuz the scan automatically happens even when i am using the computer even though i have it set not to and the scan stops me from being able to use my computer slowing it so much that it takes five to ten minutes to open the kaspersky console and stop the scan and the moment i finally can stop it, the computer runs just fine and i can use my computer again... the frustration reached i want another virus protection program level tonight so if anybody out there knows of a protection suite that actually works without taking over the computer when i am using the computer, let me know...

kaspersky, you are losing me and the three licenses i pay for...
