Wal-Mart to Offer Wal-Mart Notebooks

ducomputergeek writes "Cnet News.com is running an article that Wal-Mart plans to launch its own line of notebook computers. I wonder if these will run Lindows or XP. We've purchased a couple low cost boxes with no OS's for cheap file servers and they've worked pretty well."

Great!

Made in China? Sold by illegal Immigrants? WM is shoddy.

Go XP

[Anonymous Coward]

I vote for XP. People can watch videos, edit their digital camcorder stuff and listen to a whole bunch of Internet radio stuff, as well as download iTunes.

With Lindows, eeeh...

Damn, I'm OLD.

Do any of you remember the old BBS docs about "How to fuck with ____________"? I remember reading one article, I think it was in Anarchist's Cookbook, about going in a supply store and writing BASIC programs on all of the DOS-computers back then (yes, they were DOS) that infinite looped "ANARCHY RULEZ YUUUUUU!@@!!11oneoneone". I never did it, but if Walmart sticks one of these babies on display, I just might.

EVERYTIME YOU SHOP AT WALMART, A BABY DIES!

Walmart is all that is wrong.

Fuck you!

So what? My price is what matters.

So Wal-Mart rapes their suppliers into taking a bare few percent profit margin. Guess what - I DON'T CARE! I don't have the luxury of being supported by Mommy and Daddy so I can spend my time bitching about how "immoral" and "evil" Wal-Mart is - in fact, I shop there all the time, because saving a buck is the most important end for me; as long as they can provide cheap electronics I don't care how much they pressure their wholesalers.

The aliens were outsourced.

[caveat]

The vast vast majority of the illegals were "owned" by a company Wal-Mart outsourced their cleaning to. Anyway, aren't Wal-Mart hating liberals supposed to swallow the line that nobody should be an "illegal" alien because this is the Land of Opportunity and all should be welcome with no restrictions? Just food for thought. (see Cali for a prime example, hell, illegals can get licenses there IIRC)

Re:The aliens were outsourced.

I'm neither conservative or a Wal-Mart lover; the parent was Wal-Mart bashing with patently untrue statements, the hallmark of a liberal Wal-Mart basher. W-M does a lot of very shady things, but the illegals simply weren't hired by them, and had very little to do with W-M proper.

What's wrong with the law declaring people who entered the country illegaly being declared illegal? The abuse of said people by companies is a whole different issue, but saying the law is to blame because it denies these people legal worker status is bleeding-heart liberalism of the worst kind.

[OT] I tip my hat to you, sir. Why is it so hard for people to understand that?

[cue 10000 liberal zombies earnestly explaining to me why I should pay more taxes and having the economy go to hell is a good thing because we should all feel guilty and suffer for being born into a great and successful country, when there are millions around the globe suffering because they don't have the common sense to NOT reproduce when they can't even feed themselves]
