Durabook Laptop Marketing Claims 'Destroyed'

jkwdoc writes "The crew at [H] Consumer got a hold of a Durabook sample from Twinhead and got the green light to hold Twinhead to their word about what kind of abuse the unit can withstand. Twinhead originally claimed that their unit could survive 26 drops from 29 inches. A cracked LCD and busted hard drive later, they changed their tune. Complete with video!"

OT: There is no "apartheid" in Palestine

[mi]

Sig: I didn't support Apartheid in S.Africa so why should I accept it in Palestine?

Because there is no Apartheid there. Carter's clumsy world-play fools only ignoramuses with an attention span measured in nano-units:

"apartheid -- (a social policy or racial segregation involving political and economic and legal discrimination against people who are not Whites; ...)"

There simply is not anything like this in the region called Palestine.

no, that is EXACTLY what Israel is proposing to the UN that will be the "only way for peace" in the region. Label and ID everybody, put up a wall to keep them in line, ransack and raid and kill at will, and ration their economic relations with other countries... it's Apartheid in all but name...worse even. Remember it wasn't legally called that in South Africa either! You'd think the Jews would be smarter than that after all, it's EXACTLY what Hitler did to them...you'd think they'd work for REAL peace and not revenge, but historically they've been REALLY STUPID (tm) and like all the other middle easterners look to knife somebody in the back just as fast as they can.

Apartheid. The Dutch word for apartness. What is the wall for if not apartness?

There is nothing wrong with "apartness" in itself — one keeps one's saving account apart from checking without any moral concerns... Had Carter used "apartness" in the title of his recent inflammatory book, that would've been fine. But he used "Apartheid", which is very distinct from "apartness".

Apartheid is disliked because it — in South Africa — kept citizens of the same country apart from each other based on race. Nothing of the kind exists in the region called Palestine... That's was and remains my point.
