Getting the Best Deal From Dell — Or Not

Posted by kdawson on from the consumer-advice-or-proprietary-information dept.

Nom du Keyboard writes "When The Consumerist published 22 tips for getting the best deal from Dell Computers, according to a self-described former Dell sales manager, Dell fired back with a take-down notice. You might want to look quickly, in the event it does get taken down. The Consumerist's lawyer's initial response was to deny the takedown request."

    My favorite part in the take-down notice is this:

    Thank you. Note, though, it has been almost nine hours since we made the request, yet the posting is still up, with the number of hits growing logarithmically. I think what they meant to say was exponentially. Logarithmic growth means it is slowing down really fast.

    Note: Seems whenever a take-down notice is given, the number of hits grows... exponentially.

    You know, there is a difference between trolling and pointing out the flaws in your reasoning. Just saying.
