    Hillary isn't president, and never will be. Hillary is gone. Obama is gone, too, so you should let go of your Obama trauma.

    They are irrelevant, and you are using them as a distraction to cover for the shitshow in chief.

    It ain't working.

    I grew up in the midwest, and he's spot on about most of the people I knew... and they're already offended by the idea that lots of people live in nice, expensive areas that the midwesterners could never make it in.

  8. ... at least its all out in the open now.

  9. "If memory serves correctly it was pressing 'F8' when the OS/2 logo comes up and then selecting a cold boot from a menu (this is going back more than 25 years ago so don't shoot me if I'm wrong)."

    If only I had internet back then, to find this critical tidbit. As it was, all I could do is rage, rage at the night.

    Great story though!

    I loved the permacrash feature. Crash. Reboot. OS remembers the exact state you were in at the time of the crash, dutifully restores the state. Crash. Reboot...

    I admire that they were able to recreate the state with that level of detail bit godDAMMIT that was frustrating.

    The value of something varies with it's scarcity. 7 billion people make it so none of us are worth much at all.

  16. Hillary Clinton was a terrible candidate... as proven by the sack of orange lard that beat her. It shouldn't have even been close... trump should have been laughed out of the country.

  17. People won't learn shit from those failures... they'll blame it on the opposition.

  22. In the olden times, Asus only made motherboards, and there was no alienware.

  23. Long ago, young one, a gaming laptop was a specialty item that commanded a steep premium...

  24. The bent pin was the power problem... THANK YOU! What a spectacularly fragile piece of shit this connector is... its like they deliberately added plastic to make the cord stiffer so there would be more stress on the whole assembly. I'm not going to begin to speculate on why a data pin is needed, or why the default reaction to no data isn't "Power the fucking laptop" Unfuckingbelivable.

    I spent 2 hours going back and forth with support. Flashed the bios. Upgradeded all drivers.... at which point they wanted me to reinstall windows before I finally hung up on them. Unfuckingbelivable.

    HP really should take on the Packard Bell name now... they've earned it.

  25. It's not as bad as the last HP that died after 3 months... .that one was $2500
