Dell Protests 'Not Wintel's Lapdog'

An anonymous reader writes "C|Net is reporting on a protestation by Dell's CTO, Kevin Kettler, who says quite loudly that they are not Microsoft and Intel's puppet." From the article: "Essentially, Kettler argued, Dell was responsible for selecting, if not necessarily developing, many of the technologies in today's desktop computers and servers. Among standards for which he said Dell deserves credit are 802.11 wireless networking, PCI Express communications technology and 64-bit extensions to Intel's x86 line of processors."

>somebody who apparently champions Marx

i have reread my post, and i don't see any part of it which 'champions Marx' or suggests that i do champion marx, expressly or implicitly. this leads me to think that you are a paranoid. do you often have delusions that people who annoy or disagree with you are part of an international marxist conspiracy? do you fear and hate marxists, for reasons you are unable to put into words, despite the fact that you've never met any, and don't have any clear idea of what marxism is? you've probably reported a lot of your neighbours / coworkers to the department of homeland security ? to the extent that they no longer take your calls? do you repeatedly replay and reimagine the events surrounding your parents' divorce, and your mother's subsequent abandonment of you and your siblings in your head, ascribing the justification of her behaviour to 'marxists' who had her under their control?

these are all danger signs.

if it's the crackpipe, that shit will destroy you if you don't be careful. try stopping freebasing and sticking to the white, even though you get less for your money. chase some heroin 'on the side' to take the edge off, especially after you've been rocking it for a while. think about giving up and reclaiming your life. you can succeed in this.

if it's aryan nations, or similar organizations, you also need to reclaim your life. you seem like an intelligent person, now you just need to learn to think for yourself. not everything these people tell you is a lie; that's how their brainwashing works. some of it is insightful politics, critiques of our society that don't appear in the mainstream. but you do need to walk away from the group. they are extremist, they are violent and racist, they do have cult-like aspects. most of what they preach is nihilism and hatred. they seek to subjugate the individual within the group.

finally, if you have nothing to blame but your own mind, for the constant delusions that people around you are marxists, i pity you but i don't really know what to say to help. a doctor may be able to help but it's unlikely that you can be cured.

good luck. i really mean that.
