Told them the drive was bad in one of our GX270s. Told them I has swapped it out with a spare, the spare worked fine. Told them I put the original drve in another PC and experienced the same issue.
Gave 'em the numbers and address. The call, in it's entirety (including one transfer because I called the wrong number) lasted less than 10 minutes.
Had a new disk out here Friday morning @ 11am CST.
Could not believe it after all the crap I read on here about how horrible Dell support was.
Just got in a boatload of 620s. I have no qualms about these machines.
And if they don't, is it not their own damn fault if they get screwed over?
I sick and tired of everyone whining about the poor users. If they cannot be bothered to protect themselves, I will not be bothered to care one bit when it turns around and bites them in the ass.
Want my pity? *Do* something to deserve it. Lack of action on your part does not constitute a requirement for mercy or sympathy on my part.
Putting your personal data on a shared computer? Yeah, that's bright. For your next trick, why don't you go play in traffic. (Not directed @ parent, but @ moron using said shared PC as a private system)
Doesn't that pretty much cover ANYONE who makes it to public office?

I cannot believe this is still getting any press.....anywhere. I can't believe this guy isn't being laughed at every time he opens his mouth. I can't believe he's still working.
What the hell is wrong with the people in this country? Did they lace the water with something that turns the average american into a complete and total F'ing moron? How could any company get away with saying things like this and still make money?
It boggles the mind.
Verizon is off my rather small list of companies I will purchase from. It should be off everyone's.
I could run it again... take a screenshot... open it and save it as something *other* than BMP. upload it to a free image-hosting server that may or may not actually allow me to link it. post URL that may or may not work.
Or...
You could test it yourself.
Yeah, I think we'll go with the latter, but thanks anyway.:)
So based on *one* user's account we should all flock away from Ubuntu....to what?
Yeah, that's intelligent. It didn't work for you, so it obviously sucks.
I'm sure it had nothing to do with you messsing around during installation (which I will admit is *way* too easy to do.).
Look...it idn't work for ya on the first try. Hell, Windows doesn't work for lots of people on the first try. This does, in no way, reflect on the quality of the distribution.
Now... If you could post evidence stating it was unbelieveably common for this to occur, it might be different. But one user's account is no way to judge... anything.
And why does Google have to remove the link, then? They aren't hosting the material. I support the copyright-holders right to go after xenu.net, but *not* google.com. Google is *not* responsible for material posted to the web by morons.

Nope. Arms and Legs, hence why I'm rolling on the floor.
You don't perhaps have some strange obsession with anal insertion, do you?
If so, I recommend watching Bruce Allmighty. Chock full of Anal Dwelling Butt Monkeys.

Where the hell have you been?!?!?
ROFBMALFO!!!
Father-in-Law....is....Ned Flanders.
The mustache, the glasses, the shape, the height... This guy could win a Ned Flanders Look-alike contest hands-down.
Thank God he doesn't watch the Simpsons... He's annoying enough without the Gibberish. I'd have to shoot the guy.
Like my parents would *ever* download something from a site called "beerorkid.com".
Give me a break, this is professional? This is for the average Joe? CLI installation and unprofessional URLs do not a professional program make.
Perhaps...
As an OOBE automatically launching immediately after install on first boot, before the desktop loads.
Otherwise, it's crap for "new users" or "the average Joe".
A lot of us will use it, and it may get even more popular, but calling it a tool for new users and the average Joe is stretching it a bit.
Dude, if you gotta explain it, it just ain't funny no more. ;)
Never actually saw Fargo. I thin most Minnesotans actually avoided that flick.
;)
Can't imagine why.
Look at the user ID of the post I replied to...then re-read my post. ;P
:|
I really didn't think I'd have to explain that.
Now that's just a bunch of malarkey.
Do I really need to be more specific?
Okay.
The Ape in question is as like to us as it is to the current Ape.
Got it?
Of course, when put that way, we are also slime. Hairy, squishy, highly-mobile slime.
But...again, the slime in question is nothing like todays highly evolved slime.
Isn't it fun?
And that common ancestor was... ...an APE!!!
Get over it. You're an ape. And a balding one at that.
(but then again, aren't we all?)
Exactly!
We recently had a very similar issue.
Called them on Thursday at 4:30PM CST.

Why did you post anon? That would have gotten some mod points.

Really? Care to give us an example? Or are you just playing the "Opera Fanboy" again?

1.5.0.1 (Firefox) Seems to render it just dandy.
lmao..

Um...duh? Cuz it's a combo-word "Google" and "Ubuntu"?
Idiots. The rest of the article is probably based on the same deep fact-checking.

Too many of you running around.. ;P
Just curious, based on your username...you don't live in Ripon, Wi, do ya?
:lol: I'm not the one hiding behind AC, pal.
And I call BS on the "Current Solution" malarky. Gateway shipped systems with EFI.
The "Gateway 610 Media Center", to be exact. Ran Windows even...Funny that.
Wonder how they did that without a compatibility module.
