Who gave this person a driver’s license?

Idiocracy, here we come…

Woman Calls Orem Police To Free Her From Her Locked Car
Last Update: 6/02 1:12 pm

Automatic car features are supposed to make life easier for motorists, but they may be leaving some people without the know-how to do things the old-fashioned way. That’s what happened to a driver in Utah County who became trapped inside her own car.

A woman called Orem police Friday afternoon needing help because her battery died and she was locked inside her car.

When police arrived, they found the woman sitting in the car, unable to get herself out. She couldn’t hear the officers instructions through the rolled-up windows so she motioned to them to call her on her cell phone, according to police.

Once officers were able to talk to the woman on the phone, they were able to tell her how to manually operate the slide lock mechanism on the inside door panel to open the door and free herself.

“I’m just glad she had a cell phone to call for help,” an officer said.

Cleverness is its own punishment.

There once was a very expensive VPN client called VPN Tracker 5.2 Pro.

It had a younger brother called VPN Tracker 4 Personal that lived at Amazon.

Their parents would do a cross-upgrade so that buying the little brother from Amazon and upgrading him was signifigantly cheaper than buying the big brother himself.

Five days of waiting, and little brother arrives. In a box sealed with scotch tape, and a serial number that claims to already be registered. Amazon says this was the last one they had in the whole wide world.

Five days of waiting, to save a few bucks, and I still paid full price.

The end.

Pelosi vows to prevent fight at Dem convention – Uh, huh…

Pelosi vows to prevent fight at Dem convention

(05-28) 20:17 PDT San Francisco — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she will step in if necessary to make sure the presidential nomination fight between Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama does not reach the Democratic National Convention – though she believes it could be resolved as early as next week.

Isn’t this the same Pelosi who promsied to end the war in Iraq by cutting funding? If she keeps this new promise as well as her previous ones, I expect the DNC will be a cage fight and the ‘winner’ will be the last one with a heart beat.
