    Freedom of expression and sarcasm

    Do corporate banking interests operate a propaganda machine that controls all expression? Is freedom of expression real when the sound of our voice is easily lost in the roar of that machine? Do the economic depression, gulf oil crisis and constant wars evidence how a few priviledged elite can afford to spread their opinions? Our leaders bathe in continuous extravagance, which clogs their ears to our voices anyway. Website filtering will be needed for we useless eaters, while the elite can always purchase more freedom.

    Troubleshooting

    Engineers, professors and writers are undoubtably being rushed to solution.

    A university professor shorts circuits and produces acceleration without an error code. Please do not try this at home. Only professional lecturers should perform stunts involving jumper wires.

    Problem duplication requires the use of representative defects. Replace, Toyota's "When we get a complaint, we try to duplicate the problem", with "When we get a compliant, we acquire the respective vehicle and thoroughly examine it".

    Mike Masnick, Frank Ahrens and Akio are missing the point. Eleanor Holmes Norton shows no lack of technological expertice by her comments. She may be technologically adept or inept; we do not know from this rant. The problem, to which the Congresswoman correctly points, relates to process control, including the handling of inevitable defects and failure.

    To become famous, one may develop famous enemies. In a rush to do so, Mike and Frank may have overlooked the meaning behind the Congresswoman's words. Akio Toyoda did not explain what happens when engineers try to duplicate a problem and the problem does not recur. Eleanor Holmes Norton's question was appropriate; too much so for Mike and Frank, who chose to wallow in a thinly veiled opine about how boys/engineers know more than girls/Congress about technology. Of course, understanding doesn't sell articles - .

    He should hang a sign on his head that shows a blurred image of his face.

    Listen

    It all degrades - all headed to rust.
    Analog, digital, virtual; all of it.
    Nothing lasts; Lasting means fewer jobs.
    Recycling, reinvention and timing are the keys.
