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. If things unfold the way it looks like they will, in a couple of months Obama can claim credit for bringing the economy back from the brink of disaster, creating a new regulatory regime for the financial industry to help prevent future shenanigans, and signing the most sweeping health care legislation in 40 years into law. That set of accomplishments alone would be enough to declare his first term a success, but he's also going to go on to try for an extremely ambitious climate change bill as well. It is true that some of this legislation has required serious compromises. In particular, the health care bill Obama eventually signs is unlikely to contain a public option. But remember, a public option passed in the House, and Obama would have been more than willing to sign that bill. The public option died in the Senate, where anti-majoritarian internal rules have allowed a handful of conservative Democrats (the mainstream media calls them "centrists" or "moderates", but issue polls put them to the right of the American public on health care) to wield far too much control over the process. The White House could have tried to push back in the Senate, but this likely would have involved expending substantial political capital to no benefit. It might have even been counterproductive. Joe Lieberman, for instance, currently has a very contentious relationship with actual Democrats generally and with Obama specifically (Lieberman supported McCain and has basically announced he'll support a Republican in 2012) and might have simply dug in in opposition if too much pressure had been applied -- and that alone could have killed reform dead in the Senate. Of course the way our political system works, when conservative Democrats work together with Republicans to prevent popular progressive legislation, instead of voting out conservative Democrats, people perceive the Democrats for being ineffective and vote for more Republicans, who make everything even worse. Neat, huh? -- "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 |

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. |

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. 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. actually I agree. I would have liked to have seen a McCain presidency. a war with Iran and north Korea would have been beautiful. With the 65,000 US deaths in the first two years a draft would have been necessary. In which case I would have dodged it - of course. Probably via bribes. The Amalfi coast would have been my new stomping grounds. What are you bitching about? We have two wars going now with an expansion on the way. So? the casualties are low enough to stay off the public's radar. |

So why are you bitching about your old used up HP? You just admitted that "machines break - like everything else". Maybe you're one of those jerks who complains about everything. Get a life. Yes - buying a PC was a mistake. It was brand new from HP - not used. |

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. |

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. Absolutely. Couldn't agree more. There's never any problem with Macs: Apple fixes them all. Look: http://www.google.ca/search?&q=macbook+problems 5,430,000 entries, English and French See also: http://www.appledefects.com/?cat=6 And I don't pretend PC do any better. When computers are subjected to falls, knocks, heat and cold, humidity, spills, etc. it's never much good for them. That's why I say desktops are best. And if it happens that your desktop is a standard PC, you just unscrew 2 bolts and see what going on. For memory tests, you don't even have to open it! If you really need a computer to go to school or travel, then, the best is a NetBook, preferably with a free fall sensor or, better yet, an SSD drive. Airbook. 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. If you're used to working in electronics and have at least a soldering iron at hand, there are instructions all over the net on how to open the little machines. That's not for the faint of heart... Another option is to buy a prolonged guarantee. They're expensive... Any way you put it, Macs or PCs, laptops and netbooks are more failure 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. The Unibodies simply don't do that. prone. If you're stupid enough to pay $104 for support from Linda in India, what can I say, it's you're problem, dummy. 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. |
