Alienware Won't Sell Consumers CableCard PCs
An anonymous reader writes "Alienware doesn't think CableCard is ready for the mass market. The Dell subsidiary is coming out with some high-end Media Center PCs but won't sell them directly to consumers because the HD-enabling CableCard 'requires the expertise of a reseller and installer.' CableCard was supposed to be the savior for Windows Media Center, which has been held back by its inability to support high-def content. Alienware made its mark selling tricked-out computers to gamers, so it's telling that the company doesn't think its traditional geeky customer can handle CableCard without professional help."
what the fuck is cable card?
i mean seriously, its not like i dont pay attention to trends, but what the fuck is this pretend technologoy?
The problem with slashdot is that most of its users were bullied and stuffed into lockers as kids!
Alien fucking sucks. They always have. Their hardware is crap. I bought from them once and would never do it again.
So, fuck them.
So you don't wind up in Global Warming hell for your sinny sin sins!!! When a coin Al Gore's coffer rings, another soul from Global Warming hell springs.
Oh yeah, Dell is pure liquid shit squirted straight from my ass!
Don't forget to pay your carbon indulgences, bitches! Delta Airlines even makes it easy for you, thus proving the old adage: A fool and his money are easily separated.
Slow down, cowboy! It's been 2 hours since you last made a wisecrack about hypocritical limousine liberals trying to micromanage your life. While I'm waiting for the posting timer to expire, I'll expound a little more. My wife's Oprah Magazine this month includes advice on how to "save the world" (I shit you not) from such environmental luminaries as Hanoi Jane and some nut who was telling me it's a sin to eat food that has to be shipped more than 100 miles. Some of us like seafood, but not all of us are fortunate enough to live within 100 miles of the ocean, douche bag. These are the same people who want to "cure" global poverty (more pie in the sky liberal bullshit), but at the same time are trying to tear down some the things that bring prosperity.
