    Last few episodes includes the last one was a welcome change after all those ones about Jedi preshcoolers and cute droids. Death and destruction is this really the same cartoon?

    Does anyone really find the concept of playing a cyborg appealing? This guy had his arms, legs and I assume dick chopped off. Then replaced by robot parts. Sure they have super ninja human abilities but they've all been mutilated. I assume many like the cyborg police did willingly. At least Robo-Cop didn't have a choice.

    I wish I had my old salary so I could afford these new Valks. Even if did these are still to expensive.

    Toshiba's Final Solution Well I got an email answer back from the repair center. Basically they run a couple of diagnostics software programs on computers to look for problem if it comes clean they send it back. They don't tear open your computer to check for a hardware issues unless the hardware issues happens while they're in possession of the computer. They admitted in email that since it is a random issue it could something like a pinched cable but that isn't something they don't look for. I don't understand why people just don't physical look for a problem instead of running a program. Today I called the Support line asking what happens when this problems happens again. Basically even though my warranty has expired they guaranty the "repair" for 30 days after service. Person on the phone said I should revert my computer back to factory day one settings. Something that they had me do already. After reverting it back I shouldn't install any new software and if the computer acts up again with in 30 days I should send it back. If it acts up on day 31 I'm out of luck. Here's a problem about reverting to factory settings and not adding stuff to it. I already did that. We already exhausted all the possible software issues. What is the point of having a computer if you can't add stuff to it? My computer is 3 years old. As soon I try to do something like go to youtube with it or read a PDF I'm gonna get a message that some program is out of date. If I can't add stuff to my computer I won't be using it that much during the next 30 days. If I'm rarely using it the chances that this random will occur again during this time is very slim. Plus if I send it back to factory day one setting it will not have any virus protection. I can install what I'm using now but that would be adding something to it. I'm not gonna be paying bills online without any virus protection. I asked what happens if the problem returns at full force on day 31. I take to a local repair shop and they find it something they failed to find? In that case I get move to a case worker. Here's what I'm gonna do: I will reinstall all my favorite programs and start using my computer like normal. I will likely save very little files on my machine. I will only keep files on it that I use monthly. I will pretty much save every files after done using it to both the computer and external harddrive after every use. I think that is excessive but I don't know when the screen is just going to die or a minute or for good. When the screen dies for good. I will take it to a locally owned repair shop that is also an authorized Toshiba repair shop. I will pay them to find the actual problem. After getting an estimate I will confront Toshiba with the evidence that it was this problem all along and ask if they want to do the right thing. If they are a-holes about it. I will see if the repair itself are within my budget. I will then see about reporting them to every cusomer fraud reporting agency possible or what not. In conclusion if your friends or family tell about how they are thinking about buying a new computer please tell them about my experience with Toshiba. Tell them that Toshiba makes good computer about have the absolute horrible customer service and repair service. They will give you nothing but headaches.

    Hey where was Roy? He was waiting for his computer to be fixed by Toshiba. He had an older computer and a smart phone but those are somewhat limited. Well did they repair my computer? Why don't you read this email I sent them after getting my computer back... And yes my warranty expired while it under their care. From the limited information on invoice it looks like they just did some software test. Which has already been tested and everything I've read says if it passes with software and the problem keeps happening it is then a hardware issue. Sounds to me like they decided to go back to square one with all the testing. I honestly think they did this on purpose to avoid doing any repair. When it happens again I doubt they are going to do anything. Citing the warranty is over even through it was exisiting problem that they failed to fix.

    The nightmare continues or will my computer disappear part 6! I'm honesty scared that next they'll lose my computer. My first fear was they'll try to make an excuse not to repair it but now I think they're so incompetent that Toshiba will end up losing it. Recap of what happened since my last post. 1. Toshiba gave me permission to send my under warranty laptop in to the repair center. Charging $25 shipping and sending me a box that was too small to ship it in. 2. I call Toshiba about the small box. They tell me I have to call UPS. 3. UPS says don't look at us call Toshiba they told us what box to use. 4. I call Toshiba and passed on to a case worker. Sure we'll get you a bigger box. I'll contact the service center and they'll get you one. You should get it in about 3 days. 5. After 5 working days later and no bigger box I call Toshiba to find out did they ship a box or not? I made this call in the morning. New guy said he'll have to talk to the case worker who knows what's going on and he will get back to me. 6. That day UPS arrives with a box. 3 days later than Toshiba estimate of when I would get that box. 7. BTW that new larger box is only deeper in size. The other dimensions are the same! They know what size computer I have. Why send me boxes that are too small? Well this box does come with a lot more internal padding might as well send it anyways. 8. I drop the laptop off at UPS and grab a receipt. 9. There's a message on my phone from Toshiba. "You called about not getting your box. According to our records a box was delivered on this day. If you didn't get a box please call us..." I don't call them back. If they checked the time records they would see that I called them before the box was delivered. Since they're in call center located a foreign country located thousands a miles away they have no clue what time zone is which. 10. Yesterday there's a knock my door. It is UPS with an empty box from Toshiba. I guess Toshiba decided to send out another box just in case. I refused the box from UPS. I got no laptop here to put it in anyways. Oh yeah... they sent the smaller box. The one I first got. How it is that possible? They know how big my computer is yet that keep thinking it is smaller. The size of my laptop is simple fact of information. A fact that they are incapable of understanding. If they can't figure that out what hope do I have that they can fix my computer? Things I now fear from Toshiba... They'll try to say it is not a hardware issue and will charge me a diagnostic fee, repair fee and shipping back fee. They'll try to charge me shipping charges for 3 boxes. They'll lose my laptop. They'll say my warranty expired (which it will during the time they'll have it) and refuse to fix it. They'll lose it. They'll ship it back to me in an even smaller box and it will arrive to me in pieces.

    I don't under what is so great about Dragon Ball. Sure it has somethings going for it but they drag what should be a two episode story about a fight into a 35 episodes.

    Most of plot from OHMSS film came directly from book.

    I love the classic Bond girl stereotypes. The novels were male fantasty of a manly hero that saves a helpless damsel in distress Some of the females were more capable than others but in the end James Bond still had to be the man. One of the worst things they do in the movies is introduce a Bond Girl who is his equal. Those characters always come out as forced and crappy.

    Yeah it is about 5 years old has low memory and still uses Windows 98. How about some more stupidity? I paid $25 for Toshiba to send me a box that is too small. Sure the computer can "fit" but it will be damaged in shipping. The Styrofoam bookends doesn't even fit. They have my make and model on file. They know how big it is. So I call them. Their excuse. UPS provided the box. Well who told them what box size would be needed provide? Think Toshiba is gonna get on the case and get me the right box? No I'm too call a UPS 1-800 number Monday-Friday 9 to 6 EST and talk to them about it. I paid $25 directly to Toshiba now I have to talk to UPS to fix this problem.

    For those that didn't like it. Yes it didn't feel like a Bond Movie. It felt more like a James Bond book. The books were more low key compared to the movies.

    How can they still move their arms after catching machettes with them? Wasn't Jean Claude the good guy? Why is Jean Claude in Black & White Cookie face?

    7 to 10 days I think.

    Still under warranty (til December) but I have to pay $25 to ship it to them. Warranties should cover of that stuff.

    So I'm reading complaint about Toshiba when the computer act up again. The issue with the computer is that the screen randomly turns off. You can Google and see it is a common problem. There's a few software trouble shooting you can try yourself but if those simple solutions don't work it is likely a hardware problem. Toshiba of course tries to avoid looking at under warranty computer. I'm scrolling through the complaint and screen goes off. I get back on again and 10 second later is down again. Now I'm saving all my files again. Here's a bit from a complaint that rings a bit true from my experience. When I paid them $50 to remotely repair a software problem I swore all they did was just disable and change some settings. Like I had my computer go hibernate mode after X hours of no use. They basically changed the setting to never hibernate. I thought their "fix" was pretty useless and knew the problem would happen again. Didn't complain at the time because I was told I get a refund if the problem returned and if it was a hardware issue.

    A Satellite P500. Which has been problem free and working well with no problem. It isn't so much the products they make that I have problem with but their customer support. When I bought it three years ago I had them include all the upgrades I could afford. I wanted to buy a computer that I could use for several years before it became too old and crappy. I decided to protect that investment by buying the longest warranty possible. When it came time to use that warranty I expected a lot better service.

    Long Rant Time - After 5 years I'm through with Toshiba. They have the worst customer support. So bad that I'm looking at reporting them to the BBB. I bought an extended hardware warranty. If I have a hardware problem they're suppose to fix it. Of course being sleazy they are going to try everything before actually taking a physical look at it. When my computer first started acting up I Googled to see if others had similar problems and for possible solutions. It was a problem that happened with others (FYI screen & or computer will periodically shut down on its own). I tried all the do it yourself solutions. When that didn't work I called Toshiba. Even though I told them I tried this and that they still had me do it again. Fine I guess we gotta play this game before they take an actual look at it. I've even paid $50 for someone to take control of computer by remote to "fix" the software problem. I asked at the time if this turn out to be a hardware problem do I get my $50 back? I was told yes. I paid and watch the guy change a couple settings. Mind you I'm no computer technician but I can tell when someone isn't really doing anything at all. Still if I have to do a series of escalating calls before they take a physical look fine I'll keep playing that game. Keep calling them back and last thing they had me do was wipe everything back to when it was shipped to me. If it was a software problem than this should "cure" it. If it was a hardware problem I wouldn't have to recover the entire system and spend time installing everything. Well the problem returned - Guess it wasn't a hardware problem after all. Now they will take a look. If it was caused by mishandling I pay a fee. I wonder if they'll try to claim I did something. Wouldn't surprise me. I have to pay to ship it to them. Why isn't covered under warranty? Now why am in long rant mood? During my call with them today I bought up the do I get my $50 back from the time when one of you guys fixed my computer by remote? No I don't because we exceed a time limit. Well of course we've exceed a time limit. I would only get my $50 back if it was a hardware problem. Your not even going to look to see if it is a hardware problem until you rule out every possible software problem imaginable. By this policy your going to past the time limit. Strange I don't remember that guy telling me anything about a time limit. Now the tech on the phone said we could have charged you for each call but we didn't. Here's the problem with that. The only way to get hardware warranty assistance is to call them. They're not going to give you any hardware warranty assistance unless you do all the software assistance first. Even if you have hardware warrranty they can try to get money out of you. I wish they did try to charge me for the early calls. So now I'm waiting for the instruction on how send my computer in. I gonna look into making a bbb compliant and maybe talking to my credit card company. I mean if you get charged for a useless service is it not fraud or something? You pay for goods or service and don't get them don't you get a refund? Now here's the funny part at the end of the call the tech ask me to rate his service from 0-10. Seriously? I asked can I give a negative number? I asked if you do a shoddy repair do I have to pay again for you fix it again. They said no. In December my warranty expires. I have a feeling they are to try to bull crap they way out of any future responbilties for a preexisting problem. I also have a feeling that their intital hardware repair is going to be something as cheap/simple as tighting a screw or a single wire. When likely the real solution is going to be replacing a part or something. Toshiba is the worst .

    I know the old Aston was a nod to the past but did anyone find it strange that it was equipped with all the Gold Finger gadgets? In the new Bond continuity Jame's wins it in a card game. The car is his personal property. Some between Quantum and Skyfall he brought his car in to Q branch and said, give a bunch of machine-guns and an ejection seat? Why would Q branch of a more gritty/realistic Bond era modify a private vehicle in such a manner?
