637,000 English and French

And it's not a com,puter that sold much.

131,000,000 that's alot!

http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=HP+dv...6c7832dbb01be6
2,270,000 - that's still alot!


If something goes wrong, well, you can bring it to a specialized local
repair shop. You can get an estimate for, roughly, $35 - $50, often
deductible from repairs.

Yeah, let the Geek Squad and their 12 year old kids running the Pokemon
screen saver.


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.
Considering the present value of the laptop if $400 that sounds like an
awesome deal. Thanks!



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?


yeah, I'm sure. The Unibod don't do that - because they are "uni" Get
it? As in one piece.


Not quite. You should really try to think before you regurgitate.

Take a double dose. You and Rush Limpdick.

Would it surprise you I voted for Obama?

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.)


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.


Mostly right-wing lunatics. You're about the only person I've ever run
across who claims to have believed Obama was a Marxist and is
disappointed that he's not.


You need to get around more. There are lots of us.

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.


Because he's not enough of a Marxist? Yeah, so you're just trolling.



Sorry, I don't see how the expression of an honest opinion can be considered
a troll.

Of course, there is always a possibility that he will show himself to be more
leftist as his term goes on, in which case he might pull himself out of his
hole. I certainly hope so, I really think he could be a major force for good
in the world. Eliminating Capitalism completely, is of course, not possible
to do all at once, but over time it could happen, and Obama could be the
beginning of a new world order. I can only hope.

Yeah, look. My degree is in political science, with a theory
concentration. I've read quite a lot of Marx -- and a lot of other stuff
that puts it in context. Credit where it's due, Marx has some serious
insight into capitalism. But if there is some superior alternative to
the standard Western mix of a strong democratically elected state in
conjunction with free markets, Marxist communism is not it. It was
supposed to emerge organically from the bottom up, and never has.
Various attempts to impose it from the top down (which is pretty
incoherent if you actually read Marx) have ended disastrously.

Marxists are just another group of people who think they have a simple
framework that explains everything. Never trust people who think they
have a simple framework that explains everything, especially in
politics. Whenever they get too much power, people die.

Modern liberalism -- the real thing, not the right-wing caricature of it
-- is largely about recognizing that the world is a complicated place
and, even if you have a really shiny hammer, it's not a great idea to
pretend everything is a nail.

--
"The game of professional investment is intolerably boring and over-exacting to
anyone who is entirely exempt from the gambling instinct; whilst he who has it
must pay to this propensity the appropriate toll." -- John Maynard Keynes

Wrong. They honored my warranty a year after I bought the machine.
Stop making stuff up, its dangerous - you'll end up believing your

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.

So why are you bitching about your imaginary HP?




Did you see the video?
How do you figure its imaginary? Honest question.
Are you blind as well as stupid? Did I search teh intarnetz for these
specific videos?
Its not like you have any industry or job experience so why is this so
hard for you to believe?
I replaced the battery and AC adapter and this is the result.
Yes, I let the battery charge.

Here's a video of the ficticious HP next to the ficticious Macbook Pro,
on
the ficticious desk taken by a fictitious camera.

http://tinypic.com/r/of7y21/6


How do you 'Dozers put up with this kind of quality? Can't you afford
an
Apple? Are you the kind of asshole who buys a Dodge Caliber, brags and
buys another one every year?
Are you so set in your ways you refuse to learn something new? You'll
get
really far with that attitude.

Actually, I have gotten far - very far. Now the problem is how to get
far
from you and your ilk. Trouble is - you all are like roaches at the
trough.



Yes, you got to usenet - that's far.

you're confused - PCs are like roaches. Since there's more of the they
MUST be superior! We've been over this.


They have been here for 220 million years. They are going to eat you after
you're dead. They'll probably outlast man.





Exactly.
They never change. PCs dont' change either. they've been crashing
since Windows 2.0 and they'll keep crashing! Except they'll do it with
more viruses and malware.
You really are a sad dunce.
Correction: sad single, failure of a dunce. Bwahahaha!

All I'm doing is education people about HP quality and service.
This way when they google it - they'll see this awesome thread and get
another brand.
I'm doing my part.


Your wasting your time. The target market here is tiny and informed, and
they don't give a hot **** about your opinions. It shows just how incapable
you are. I personally prefer Dell over HP. More bang for the buck. And you
get a better machine than an Apple for a third of the price.

WIN! WIN!



Yes, and you get to talk to East Indians calling themselves "Belinda,
Harry," or my favorite "Jake."
WHen you call in for warranty support - and you *will* need warranty
support at some point, tell "Jake" your name is "Lalit" and you refuse
to talk to a Dalit.

LOOSE! LOOSE!

Dude, you're gettin' a dalit!

The HP has five visible chunks of Chinese plastic. Its like plate

expensive repair bills.

"MBA"? I don't think so!

These clowns are SO predictable. When confronted with their own
cluelessness, they can only resort to post-editing.

The guy is only trolling. And you are taking the bait.




All I'm doing is education people about HP quality and service.
This way when they google it - they'll see this awesome thread and get
another brand.
I'm doing my part.


Your wasting your time. The target market here is tiny and informed, and
they don't give a hot **** about your opinions. It shows just how
incapable
you are. I personally prefer Dell over HP. More bang for the buck. And
you
get a better machine than an Apple for a third of the price.

WIN! WIN!



Yes, and you get to talk to East Indians calling themselves "Belinda,
Harry," or my favorite "Jake."
WHen you call in for warranty support - and you *will* need warranty
support at some point, tell "Jake" your name is "Lalit" and you refuse to
talk to a Dalit.

LOOSE! LOOSE!

Dude, you're gettin' a dalit!


Hmmm- a cute redirect.

Dude - I never had to call customer service - and I've had a bunch of Dells.

If something goes wrong, well, you can bring it to a specialized
local
repair shop. You can get an estimate for, roughly, $35 - $50, often
deductible from repairs.

Yeah, let the Geek Squad and their 12 year old kids running the
Pokemon
screen saver.

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.
Considering the present value of the laptop if $400 that sounds like an
awesome deal. Thanks!



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?

yeah, I'm sure. The Unibod don't do that - because they are "uni" Get
it? As in one piece.


Not quite. You should really try to think before you regurgitate.



Sorry, you're wrong. I have one in front of me.. Let me count the
pieces. One. OK I'm done.


Use more fingers.

The HP has five visible chunks of Chinese plastic. Its like plate
tectonics; except instead of earthquakes one gets shorted wires and
expensive repair bills.
You should really try to think before you regurgitate.
Have you been brainwashed recently?
