PC Superstore Admits Linux Hinge Repair Mistake

Erris writes "PC Superstore says their store manager was wrong to turn away a client with a broken hinge whose machine should have been repaired. 'El Reg put a call in to the DSGi-owned retail giant to get some clarification on PC World's Linux support policy. A spokesman told us that there had simply been a misunderstanding at the store and that, in fact, the normal procedure would be for the Tech Guys to provide a fix. [PC World] will provide a full repair once the firm has made contact with Tikka.'

    "Why didn't you want me Mommy?"

    You were the product of rape.
    You were the product of incest.
    "Mommy" was unable to raise a child currently due to low income.

    Those are all real situations that people get abortions for. So you'd rather have a woman who was brutally raped have to give birth to and raise the child of the man who attacked her? Sweet deal.

    I know I'm 'feeding a troll' or whatever, but I'm tired of people thinking they know what's best for everybody.

    A second post from an AC mentions the fabulous twitter and you have managed to create a tag that will point to more good stories in the future. Keep advertising my friend twitter.

    Everyone else should check out the Vista Failure Log these AC's hate so much. It and most of what twitter posts is more intersting than a story about some clueless and rude manager at a big box store.

    If you want to read some really intersting news, visit Stallman's Blog, which is updated every other day.

    ... as much as I agree with your personal outrage (that being a Woman's body is her own, etc.. etc.. et al) -- I have to say that just as important is the right of free speech. And remember, the most important time to defend free speech is when you disagree with the speaker.

    That being said, that little bit of pro-life flamebaiting actually does more for the pro-choice movement than it should probably want to.

    'Cause now yer little bastard is in the arms of the rotting Jesus... 'aint he/she?

    Hah. Saved from a life of ill begotten moral line crossing. Another for your wierdo, domineering bipolar sky fairy.

    Maybe we should all have abortions. Fill up heaven's ranks so that there are more pure angels to fight off Hell's evil.

    Abortions for Jesus! Wheeeeeeee!

    Whoops. Too much Eagle Rare and now I'm rambling. Hahahah. This is fun. Now I'm gonna go drunken babbling elsewhere. =b...

    Oh... and while I'm at it. Mods... mod me down. Go ahead and waste yer points... OFFTOPIC BABY!!!!! WHOOOOOO! SCHAWEEEEEET!!!!

    Yeah! Post drunk, post loud.

    Fortunately for those that are queasy at that proposition, many countries have moved to ban late term abortions
    ... which I for one don't agree with. I think the limit should be raised to sixteen years postpartum.

    "Anyone? The 14-year-old rape victim? The forced underaged wife of a Mormon polygamist? The woman who learns on the ultrasound that the child is ancephalic and will not survive regardless? The woman who learns that she has a less than even chance of surviving the pregnancy?"

    Yeah, we've all heard the "14 yeard old rape victim" line a million times. Only thing is, that just a very small percentage of abortions, most are for birth control because some lazy assholes forgot or just didn't care to use a condom, pill, etc.
