Nope. He lacks the qualities needed to (be a) troll.

I disagree. He lacks the qualities to be a GOOD troll.

We're saying the same thing, but IMO a bad troll just isn't a troll.

But I'll say this;
his new sock has actually progressed.

I snipped it because I don't know what it means.

Then you probably shouldn't tell others that they're being trolled and

Ah, our great Marxist hope! I voted for him too, a decision that I am
starting to regret. He is nowhere near as left-wing as he seemed before
the
election, and he also seems to be fairly incompetent, and in spite of his
Democratic Congress, almost totally ineffectual.

I think you might be paying a little too much attention to the 24 hour
news media, which tends not to understand how things get done in DC or
the pace at which actual politics works. They became a little too used
to how things worked under Bush, where everything was very top down, was
oversimplified, and Congress was, for the most part, just a rubber stamp.

No, you misunderstand me. My main disappointment with Obama is that he told
everyone (through his books) that he was a dedicated Marxist. I expected to
see some real movement in that direction. Other than a half-ass attempt to
nationalize the auto industry and bailing out some banks, he doesn't seem
very Marxist to me.

I can't speak to your bizarre interpretations of Obama's books. From
where I'm sitting, he presented himself during the campaign as a
pragmatic center-left politician and has governed as one. Those on the
right insisting he's some kind of socialist are essentially just making
things up, and those on the left who are shocked that he's not more
liberal were clearly assuming he was what they wanted him to be, rather
than actually listening to his policy positions. (The latter is
particularly obvious with respect to e.g. his Afghanistan policy. Some
on the left appear to have assumed Obama was some sort of pacifist,
because he opposed the Iraq war, despite repeated statements on his part
to the effect that he didn't oppose all wars, just bad wars.)

If something goes wrong, well, you can bring it to a specialized local

deductible from repairs.

Not exactly. The unibody case on the Macbooks are more durable. Thats
the problem with the HP. It isn't solid - its built like an old Chrysler.
The parts move, ribbon cables fray and short out.

Yeah, it's awful, they bend and warp and twist and shout a lot. Big
problem. Sure you haven't been brainwashed recently?

prone. If you're stupid enough to pay $104 for support from Linda in

Please, don't make me cry

I didn't pay $104 to talk to that punjab; but others will. HP is taking
advantage of their customers - something you just don't do.

I'm selling this heap for parts on eBay and replacing it with a MBP 15.

I'm sure you'll be glad. This time, you'll be had from the onset.

Bye, have fun!

They won't honor the warranty. Since it's broken as soon as
you open
it you'll just have to return. Most people get one that
works on
their
3rd or 4th try.
Wrong. They honored my warranty a year after I bought the
machine.
Stop making stuff up, its dangerous - you'll end up believing
your
own lies.
You've had a 27" iMac for over a year?
Wait they fixed your Apple under warranty because it was a year
old?
How come your Mac broke so quickly. Don't Macs just work?
Ir was a year and a half old.

If fact, if Macs just work. Why is there a class action suit
against
with thousands of plantiffs claiming their brand new 27" iMacs
wouldn't work and Apple denied the the problem?
**** happens. Look at the reliability surveys - if you can read.

If Macs just work. Why sell Apple Care at all?
Again, because machines break - just like everything.

If Machines just break.... like your P.O.S. Mac.... in less than a
year. Why are you complaining about the HP that lasted longer than
your P.O.S. Mac. Make up your mind your circular arguing ****stick.

The Apple you paid 3x broke faster than the HP. LOL

At least he's consistent -- consistently clueless.

You're confused.
The HP is broke. My first MB had a problem with the Bluetooth - fixed
under warranty in three days.
The HP is completely dead - as in unusable. The pubjab HP call girl
wanted $100. The only time I give a girl who won't give me her real
name $100 is if if cum at the end.

Aha. So your name is "John", not Justin.

So it would have been free if you weren't impotent. Seems like your
problem to me.

I have pills for that.


Take a double dose. You and Rush Limpdick.

So what? To the best of my knowledge, Barack doesn't need the little
blue pill.

HP wanted $104 just to troubleshoot. Of course I talked to "Linda"
whose real name is Deependra Guptda Mukkalukkafukkachucka.
I plug the god damn thing in, and I get a blue pulsating light as seen
above.

I bought this for my mom last Christmas. Isn't that just wonderful?
Aren't I a good son?
No. I'm a terrible son, I should have bought her a ****ing Mac - but
No, the HP was cheaper.
So let's run down the cost of this piece of ****.

$700 Original cost
$50 Shipping
$100 Tech "troubleshoot" cost
$150+ Repair labor (guestimate)
$160 Motherboard (per ebay)
$20 Power adapter (if that's the problem)
$1,180 Total

WOW! So tell me... How should I quantify the downtime? She runs her
own business. I'll make up a number. $1,000
So the total comes to $2,180.

Where are the savings?

They wanted $100+ just to talk to me? How dare they. How can they
justify that? Doctors and Psychiatrists don't charge that much.
Plumbers don't charge that much for an on site service call, but these
douchebags want that much just to troubleshoot? I understand a change
for repair - but just to talk? Not even one hour of free phone time.
Call girls (not street walkers) run $200 for the first hour. So
talking to some stinky third world crusty chemical infested dumbass
accented Maheshwara worshiping thing; costs half as much as it would
to nail a 21 year old model??!

One more Apple customer.

If I sold this on eBay I would get $400 for it. So I'm supposed to
spend 25% of the total cost just to talk to another Guptda
Mukkalukkafukkachucka so he can tell me I need to pay another $200 to
replace the board?


Last year when I called Apple for a problem with a MB 13" I talked to
an American. Had an RMA in ten minutes, box was sent to me the next
day, shipped to their repair center, and was returned in two more
days. It started on Monday, I had my machine back on Friday.

You called apple while it was UNDER WARRANTY. You are comparing apples
and oranges here.

Why didn't you spring for a 3 year HP warranty, typically onsite NBD
after phone troubleshooting, if this machine is critical for a
business?

It was two expensive. Getting the three year "limited" warranty would
have brought the pricing above $1,000.


I'd Google your problems first & see if there is an easy solution, like
new power supply.

Steve

Already hit google - it told me nothing other than the DV series is an
utter disaster. Now they tell me.
The power supply would not explain the dead hard drive. Where do I get
another power supply? Pull it out of my ass? Order one off eBay in
case it *might* be the problem? What if it isn? Put it back on ebay
and waste more money?

Hey, YOU'RE the self-proclaimed "MBA". Figure it out. Optimize it!

Yeah, because all MBA programs have "****ty PC selling & buying 201"

Turn in your "MBA". You learned nothing, you're unadaptable, you're
finished.

I actually read both "Dreams of my Father" and "The Audacity of Hope". In
both he does everything but come right out and say that he's a Marxist. If
that's a bizarre interpretation, then a lot of people have made the same one.
Look, the world will eventually turn to Marxism as the only way that an
enlightened society can move forward. I'm committed to that goal and I
thought Obama was as well. I'm disappointed and I now believe that Obama is
headed for a one-term Presidency. Too bad, he showed a lot of promise.

Not the Geek Squad, Moron! There are some shops that specialize in laptops.

Yeah, no ****. They can charge me $120 for labor and another $256.

From the onset? I guess thats why Apple still renks the highest in
customer satisfaction and reliability despite the trolls?

Maybe I should go Linus and but a Dell! That way I can pay $150 for
Windows and then delete it off the machine. Yes, the Microsoft tax is
perfect. Unfortunately that doesn't solve the wire fraying issue.
