  1. Re:They've been practicing on HP Spinning Off WebOS and Exiting Hardware Business · · Score: 1

    Perhaps spend a little more and buy a business level computer instead? The bloatware is for the average Joe, not for people who actually know how to use computers.

  2. Re:Audio webcast link on HP Spinning Off WebOS and Exiting Hardware Business · · Score: 1

    If you hate HP desktops/laptops, and the guy above hates Dell desktops/laptops, perhaps you are both looking at the wrong line of computers from these companies. Both HP and Dell make really good systems for business, but you have to look at the business lines, not the shitty consumer lines. Dell: Latitude, Optiplex, Precision HP: Envy (consumer, but still quite good), Elitebook, Probook, Compaq (I know, they were shitty before HP bought them, but they seem to be the name used for the better line now)

    The servers on both sides are very good, around here we have mostly Dell, but that is because it is simply better to be uniform on the server side, HP is quite good as well. If HP stops making hardware, there will be no one in the same range as Dell, and Dell will be forced to compete with Sony on the consumer side, and Panasonic and IBM on the business side. Maybe this will make Dell better in the long run, but I think it will increase prices on the short term :(

  3. Re:Faith in ... ? on Former Popemobile Going Up For Auction · · Score: 1

    If the president of the United States is truly the representitive of his people, he should take criticism of all types from the people, even if it is a bullet telling him he is doing it wrong.

    Perhaps the Pope hated the bullet proof popemobile too, but his "secret service" (swiss guard) forced it on him to preserve him.

    I, personally, and I am guessing you too are not interested in seeing it, but I assure you, Rule 34 still applies. Somewhere out there, someone enjoys that.

    I can see you have never defended a system then. That doesn't work for system defense. Titans can jump entire fleets in to system without a gate, capitals can jump in and demolish your gate camp. When you say things like this, it makes me see you are a low-sec pirate, not as a sov warfare person.

    That killmail doesn't surprise me so much. I would bet he had just bought the carrier and was moving in order to get it fit. Capital mods are quite large and difficult to move around. Though if it was me, I would have at least fit shield hardeners and capacitor mods to recharge faster as they wouldn't be large and would be easy to move.

    It also could have been "insurance fraud" and he forgot to remove the fighters.

    To the physicists, Dark Matter is a kludge. It is the modern "here be dragons". We know there are dragons here, but we can't see them, just the effects they cause, so we can't explain them. Once the effects can be explained (storms, the nature of seas being big and easy to get lost in) we no longer say "here be dragons" we say that people can get lost at sea, it happens.
