New Sony VAIO Laptop w/ 16.1" Screen

calc writes "Sony Japan has announced a new VAIO laptop that comes with a DVD-R/RW CD-R/RW drive along with a Radeon 7500 Mobility and 16.1" UXGA LCD." The spacebar on my thinkpad has been dying... maybe its time for a change. Sony? You listening? *grin*

Oooh

I could sure use a new thinkpad. CdrTaco? Are you listening ;)?

Yet again another "Sony is godhead" story

Wow.

You'd think /. would know better by now. Sony is NOT your friend. Sony is a member of both the RIAA and the MPAA and would like nothing better than to control everything you put into your machine.

There are so many other companies that make laptops. Vaios are cute and kawaii but then again so is the Fujitsu Lifebook. And Fujitsu belongs to neither the RIAA or MPAA. Plus you can get a spiffomundo Crusoe chip in the thing, so you can say that you've got Linus Inside! How cool is that?

"The RIAA and the MPAA are a bad, evil corporate conspiracy...OOOH! Shiny objects! I want!!!"

I use a 1930s hollerith punch card tabulator running red hat Linux 5.4. Not only do I use it for all y computing needs, it also doubles as a workout center. Being hand cranked it not only needs no electricity, but once you get through the boot sequence you can save the state of the machine by simply running the deck through a punch card duplicator. I'm having a few difficulties getting the TCP/IP stack to work, I keep hitting timeouts and dropping connections. So not only do I win the 'my computer hardware is more primitive than yours pissing contenst' I hereby demand that under rule 43 the other contestants prostrate themselves before me.
