  1. Re:Uh huh. on HP's Shift On PCs Could Boost Acer, Dell and Lenovo · · Score: 1

    Never mind PalmOS and kicking HP because you didn't like their desktops - who do I contact to buy their stocks of the following (and I'm not kidding):

    tx2000 series
    tx2500 series
    tx2, tm2, etc...

    Now those were tablets - convertable, high specced, ergonomic, reliable, expandable and DROPPABLE, with full keyboard and swivel & fold touch / stylus screens and GRAPHICS CARDS THAT PLAY OBLIVION dammit! These things included the kitchen sink!

    How they failed to make a profit with these is beyond me, I had one (a tx2530ea) when there were rumours there would be an iPhone tablet, and people in McDonald's would say "wow, what's that? is it the new iPad" and, knowing the specs of the rumoured iPad I'd say, "no, it's better! Several times better, in fact, and I've had it 2 years!)

    HP, your pre-WebOS tablets will be sorely missed, and I mean that.

    Why, how much is your average ass-hymen worth in hymenology circles lately? Are you buying? If not, why the interest? Are you saying you want my ass? AC, you've been stalking me for a long time, but I had no idea you felt that way. I can be reached at

    Insightful, but written in such a bad style and with such crap grammar you're going to get modded troll.

    I dont claim anything of the sort - I must say, AC, you're scraping the bottom of the barrel here, the post you are replying to is fact. Manchesters contributions to computing and economics are so solid that if you cant be bothered checking my facts you deserve to live the American fantasy, and you will take the consequences of trying to rewrite history with the rest of your brethren. The world has had enough of everything you are doing, not just rewriting the past. Your 'military might' is stretched as it is, I dont think you can handle europe, china and russia as well. Id quit doing this crap right now if I was you. I just cant believe the amount of you who think you beat turing to it, or think the world was created in 6 days a few thousand years ago. As I said to another troll, the world's better off without you lot.

    Plenty of valid objections, actually, starting with plucking pubic hairs out of my mouth for hours afterward, and choking on them for days afterward. And don't say "I shave", I like my men hairy, thank you.

    This afternoon the lameness filter stopped me from rebutting a troll with the output from a tracert (too many padding characters), even though it didn't malform anything at all.

    But the lameness filter actually allowed this spam through???

    I've got some news for you, /. devs, your lameness filter is, er, lame. Sort it. I want to post output from the console. My "fans" lol want the output from that console (it could have proved a point which was left unproven!). Nobody wanted this (repetition of URL was blatant giveaway to any automated system) and yet here it is. Come on, anybody would think you don't mind spam but hate clever trolls...

    This post is Flamebait, it is a Troll, it's Offtopic and yet it is strangely Funny, Informative and Underrated after you read it all (including what's below). Mod on.

    "Nearly nobody has ever heard of it?"

    You stupid fucker, that's because you've gone about rewriting the history of computing, and you dominate the Internet with posts like the one I replied to.

    Where do I claim that Manchester is the "center" of the internet? Alan Turing is the forefather of modern computing, and the "Manchester Baby" was the prototype of the aforementioned first commercial programmable computer.

    How the hell can you justify telling me to "piss off, ya tosser" when I posted a FACT, disputing yet another Amero-centric attempt at twisting people's perceptions of history. And you wonder why the rest of the world hates America and Americans, you even play that card in your attempt to turn groupthink against me.

    So in one post, you confirm that you're bullies, that you wish to downplay others' achievements ("nor is particular accredited") - Turing Machine you dumbass!!!! and you are liars - attributing something I never said to me. Fucking die and leave others to create a fair and just society - hey, I'll give you this one for free - it's called Manchester Capitalism (yes it fucking is do your research before trolling again) and it's something we WISH we could re-write here in Manchester!!!

    I hate to tell you this (can't you tell?), but the Ferranti Mark one, based on Alan Turing's Manchester "Baby", was the first commercially produced programmable computer.

    You pesky Americans, always trying to rewrite history! You're modded Insightful, too, and I bet I get "Troll" mods for stating facts, yet again.

    Oh :-( Nobody can rank my epenis, because I'll never have one.

    I once posted to a discussion here in which people were bragging about their gaming laptop specs, complete with link to a HP product page, and they referred to it as e-penis envy.

    So even though I never thought about cocks, I was still a "lamer" cos my machine outspecced the boys' machines and I'm a woman, therefore don't qualify. :-(

    I bet if I was a boy, I'd probably have a bigger one than half of you, or just a little less... </obviousgendertroll>
