Some History and Context Regarding the HP Soldier Video

I consider myself a lucky man.  I’ve had the great opportunity to dedicate nearly my entire career (more than 25 years and counting!) to working for one of the greatest technology companies in the world.  HP is a part of my life – my friends and family all know I am proud to be a member of this team, and of my particular passion for helping customers.
So, when in 2006, a video surfaced of a U.S. soldier in Iraq taking his frustrations with an HP support policy out on his printer – you can imagine how that resonated with me and within HP.  This video seems to be reaching a new audience as many of my colleagues have had it forwarded to them by family members, friends and co-workers in recent weeks.
I was compelled to write this post because many do not realize that when HP received this “message to HP tech support” we quickly reached out to this soldier and resolved his issue.  And for years now, HP has provided free phone support for all active duty overseas U.S. military personnel, even if the product is out of warranty.  
I continue to be extremely proud of the company I work for and was particularly proud of our response to this customer’s feedback.

     "what he did was inexcusable, probably because he was impatient and he didn't get the correct answer from HP on the first try."
so, for the record, how many times should one expect to have to call HP tech support before receiving the correct answer?

  • Good morning. I've read in some blogs and forums that the verizon wireless works in Europe but my question is if it works with portugueses cards (like vodafone sim)?

    Good morning (at least here in Portugal)
    My question is that I want to buy the new Iphone 5C, but I want to use it here in Portugal. I was in the store menu looking for it and it appears that I have to stay with a network for two years, if not the price will increase significantly. I want to buy it online because the Iphone will only arrive in Portugal in December and probably it will be more expensive. I've read in some blogs and forums that the verizon wireless works in Europe but my question is if it works with portugueses cards (like vodafone sim)?
    Thank you very much for the attention.
    Daniela João.

    The Verizon iPhone 5 is sold as unlocked. You can buy it full retail and use it anywhere you want. However, you won't get LTE in Europe and you won't be eligible for warranty service unless you take the phone back to the U.S. You won't be able to buy one on a contract unless you can pass a U.S. credit check. The minimum monthly cost would be $59.99 plus tax. I assume that all of this information will be true of of the 5C as well.
    Wait and buy the phone in Portuagal.

  • I have produced my Family History in Appleworks over several years. This morning I tried to open some documents and  now get the message "Import Error not a Presentation" so I cannot open the documents. Those that will open appear to be in PAGES layout. n

    I have produced my Family History over the past few years in Appleworks. This morning I tried opening several documents and got the message 'Import Error Not a Presentation. Some that did open were in a different layout. KEYNOTE and PAGES in the Dock flashed as I tried to open my documents. How can I regain my documents in their original format ?

    You do not have the properties in the Bookmarks Manager (Library), but you should have it if you right-click a bookmark the Bookmarks Toolbar or in the bookmarks sidebar.
    On Mac you probably do not have it if you right-click an item in the Bookmarks menu (this menu is under control of the Mac OS), but I assume that this should work if you click the "Show your bookmarks" button on the Navigation Toolbar that is next to the star to bookmark the current tab and right-click an item in the bookmarks list that opens.

  • I deleted some stuff and its in the trash

    I bought this Mac used, so I went in to deleting some photos and other stuff but when I was finished Some application wouldn't work Can Someone help me fix this now

    Hi jamdaggs,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    There are two factors to take into account:
    1. the type of file that you want to recover
    2. and the time since you deleted the file
    There are a number of data recovery programs available they depend upon the two above factors however because of the way that the UNIX (Mac OS X) architecture works. In Mac OS X when you delete a file the file is +not actually+ deleted the reference to it is (unless you securely empty the trash) the file remains as space that is 'tagged' as free space.
    This is where time is important! If you wait to long after deleting the file the probability that the system will use the 'tagged' free space for another file(s) - basically ifg you wait too long there's less chance of recovery.
    The type of file is somewhat important, some data recovery programs have a limited spoce of the type of recoverable files. (music, images, websites etc.) - this factor varies between different recovery programs.
    I recommend either Data Recue II or Disk Warrior
    Hope this information is helpful and good luck with the data recovery!
    Regards,
    Peter.

  • If the setting is "never remember history", and user clear the caches/cookies and logs on a website will the previous setting of the user on the web app persis

    ON the firefox, the setting is set to "Never remember history" .
    I have a web site which sets the default value on the record per page dropdown list to 100 for every tab.
    When I change the value to 5 and then logout. clear the caches/cookies . and then reload the page and then login to the website the value is showing as 5? why is it so? since the default value of the dropdown on fress login should be displayed as 100. I am facing this issue in Firefox 20.0.1 and on Internet explorer its working fine, the default value of the drop down is showing up as "100" . Let me know what behavior is expected on firefox on the above mentioned issue. This relates to firefox browser only.

    Are you sure the setting is stored in an HTTP cookie (regular browser cookie), and not on the server or in some other kind of local storage (e.g., Flash LSO)?

    This problem has plagued Firefox for years now, and there seems to be no end in sight for a fix.
    There are all kinds of possible solutions, some you will have found that simply do not work, b/c nobody knows why it happens.
    Some of the forum fixes include:
    1) disable hardware acceleration in Firefox
    2) use safe mode which is not a solution just makes the browser not use any plugins and the browser like its from 1995
    3) Use flash in protected mode
    I posted those because that is what you will mostly hear on these forums and someone will surely mention to you, so feel free to search and try them first if you so choose.
    I have tried all of these things in the past and were completely useless to me.
    I have found only one solution that i personally came up with that does not appear to be accepted on these forums due to the fact that nobody understand why it works, nor is willing to suggest or test it. But it has worked and the proof is in my blogs that it does work for some.
    First before we get too far into things.
    Open a cmd prompt and close Firefox.
    type or copy/pate one line at a time:
    del C:\Windows\Prefetch\PLUGIN-CONTAINER*.pf
    del C:\Windows\Prefetch\flashpl*.pf
    del C:\Windows\Prefetch\firefox*.pf
    del C:\Windows\Prefetch\FLASHPLAYERUPDATESERVICE*.pf
    del C:\Windows\Prefetch\PLUGIN-HANG*.pf
    Now open the page and test to see if that seems to help out or not. Hopefully it will.
    note: these files will eventually recreate themselves so no harm is done. it is my believe that there is stale data withing some of them that conflicts with current data.
    If this works, then head on over to:
    http://firefoxcrash.blogspot.com/2013/12/firefox-crashes-adobe-flash-player.html
    for a further explanation, and a way to keep those files cleaned.
    Also, make sure you flash players are up to date and cleared of any old installs.
    http://adobeflashcleanup.blogspot.com/ there is a bat file that will uninstall, clean up , and go to the adobe site and get and install the latest versions of flash for you. all automated
    IF not, then i am sure someone will be able to tell you what they have been telling everyone here for years.
    Best of luck

    in the command prompt would i press enter after every line that's pasted
    </blockquote>
    answer is yes
    you can also create a bat file, by simply renaming dumping the contents in a .txt file and changing the .txt to .bat
    i would recommend trying the below in bat file. This will simply keep these files clear until you close the window, and will run in a loop as said until you close. this type of fix resolved my issue, but i compiled it to an exe so it would run silently. The forum moderators seem to slander and persecute me for creating scripts even in bat where everything in bat can be seen when they are clueless to what is going on. Im trying to make an easy solution to the problems that nobody here knows how to solve
    @echo off
    :start
    del C:\Windows\Prefetch\PLUGIN-CONTAINER*.pf >nul 2>&1
    :: remove the >nul 2>&1 if you do not want to see messages like files does not exist for example

  • Problem regarding the transmission of video Through TCP/IP acquired from USB camera

    I want to transmit video using TCP/IP protocol acquired from USB camera. Acquisition is done well but when I place the TCP VIs in the acquisition VI then the trouble begins and I can’t even get the video in that particular VI which was acquiring video and working fine previously.
    Interesting thing is that both Cam Server and Cam Client VIs was transmitting video in the very first run. After that I don’t know what happened.
    I am using lab view 8.2.1.VIs are attached.

  • How can i disable some text and item in the reports from printing

    i have a requirment to prepare a report for cheque printing on a formatted cheque paper..so i want the data should be printed in the paper not the whole thing..how can i do this...
    it is like this
    Name:- <coming from database>
    Address :-
    Rs :-
    in printing i need only the data not Name,Address and Rs headings..
    plz help me out??

    Hi,
    The usual method to influence whether an item should be printed or not is to adjust the function which lies underneath the item (simply return FALSE when you don't need it. You can also adjust the input and then return TRUE). I hope this will help you to solve your problem.

  • Need to disable the clearing of browsing history and what is the "about:config" function for it?

    I am working on an Group Policy Administrative template for Wetdog.exe, and it's awesome by the way. Just want to know what function to use (listed in "about:config" url) so i can turn this feature off entirely.
    I don't want my users deleting browsing history, or have any ability to view it either.
    Still, i want the browser to keep at least 30 days of history.
    This is EASILY accomplished in Internet Explorer via GPO, but not so much in Mozilla with wetdog.exe and it's admin templates. I am using Windows Server 2003 enterprise edition R2 on 2 domain controllers, and Windows XP Professional SP3 client workstations with Mozilla 3.6.3 and the latest version of Wetdog.exe and it's admin templates.
    Any help would be much appreciated!!!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == My boss decided that we need to keep browsing history locked out of our existing 700+ workstations ==
    == Troubleshooting information ==
    just need to disable the "history" button, the "tools\clear recent history" button, and "tools\options\privacy tab\history"

    It can be annoying, but I think their motivation is good.  They are trying to make things better for their customers and I think they have, even though sometimes it is annoying.  I think it would be nice if they would advise us when the pages are going to be down for maintenance,  In the mean time, you could have another E mail account so you can always get access to your E mail.

  • I sent a friend some photos and since then the email keeps coming up in recovered. every time I delete it it appears again in recovered. I cannot get any incoming mail either as the little circle just keeps spinning. its driving me mad!! I can get my emai

    thanks

    Yes,ranchers, I did try that a bunch of times- thanks for trying.
    I'm gonna list all the things I did (that I can can think of):
    Tried to force close the app.
    Turned on/off wiFi
    Tried letting it just run on the screen it's stuck at for like 15 minutes
    Ugh...my brain is turning off-I think it's frozen like my Sims!    Cornball I know.
    But I've tried everything I could think of which is a bunch more things than what I was able to list. And I'll do my best to answer any questions cause I know from looking all over on different forums that I'm not the only one this is happening to. It happened to a bunch of people who I think are still waiting for theirs to get fixed.

  • My iPhone only recognizes some PCS and to restore the error 21

    Goodnight all.
    I'm having a very strange problem, my iPhone 4, but it carries is not recognized on any mac os, nor on Windows 64-bit, however in windows 32-bit, it is recognized and can even synchronize. However, when I try to restore, it always gives the error 21. Already realized trading dock 30-pin, thinking that it might solve the problem, but so far, it is the same situation. What should I do?
    Thank you in advance.

    In the article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 it says:
    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
