My friend’s dad was 82 year old when he suffered a stroke and was brain dead. He also had severe liver disease. My friend’s family decided to keep him on life support for two years. All expenses paid by the gov’t. I wonder if it costs the family even at 10% of the total cost, would they have kept him ‘alive’?

I am driving a Prius but I don’t believe the floor mat is the problem like Toyota have said. There is a lot of gas pedal clearance in the Prius. The main problem is in the electronic throttle. Now Toyota will update the software so that once you apply pressure to the brake, the gas throttle will shut off. Before, you could practically stand on the brake pedal and your car could still run because the gas throttle stuck in the open position (faulty electronic/software?). Obviously fixing the software with the override fix will help but it is not the full solution. The problem is that if you are close to another car and your car suddenly plunge forward you don’t have time to apply the brake to kill the throtlle. But this partial software solution will prevent life lost like what happened to the policeman and his family.
I think fixing the throttle and the electronics is too costly so they try to avoid it.

I bought a PS3 for $200 from a school teacher on Craigslist. He seems to be honest but I tested the unit for 20 minutes at his place before agreeing to buy. I think buying something that you can’t check or verify its performance or condition is not wise.

My company in OC just let go two Marketing Managers today. That saved the company $300K right there and I don’t think we will miss them at all. What do Marketing Managers do any way besides hanging their MBA certificates on the wall and having long lunches?

Usually I have two extra weeks of vacation left and cash it out at the end of the year. This year my boss forced me to use it all.
