make sure that if you didn't already, you get a helluva good warranty. Dell laptops can be....touchy.

and we all heard about how prepared they are for an epidemic during the post-911-scare frenzy a couple of years back....... 23
News Discussion / Re: 15 arrested at rowdy Halliburton protest---Julie, is this where you are?« on: June 03, 2005, 01:01:10 PM »
that isn't from a Halliburton protest, it's clearly a dinosaur protest. Just look at the stegosauros hat she's wearing. It's all kinds of awesome.

Whether this man is truly a hero or not is irrelevant. One man's motives can hardly compare in importance with the scale of what was going on behind closed doors in the White House and elsewhere around that time under Nixon's watch. He obviously has self-serving motives for coming forth at this point (my guess is $$ for a book). But, I can see why he waited. Even 30 years after Watergate Nixon chronies are coming out of the woodwork to appear on news programs to try and tarnish the image of this man. He clearly stepped on some toes so many years ago. Frankly, I would have been afraid for my life, among other things if I came forward even a few years after Nixon stepped down.

Idealistically speaking, yes, everyone has the opportunity to seek whatever they need. BUT, that is NOT the case in American society. This concept is at the heart of what we are talking about. 26

Agreed. I think most people are better off buying a nice desktop instead of a top of the line laptop, and then buying a cheap laptop with the difference. Nobody wants to haul around a huge, heavy desktop replacement. Even if you don't mind that aspect of it, a cheap laptop with desktop backed-up data ripped off from your study area hurts a lot less than an expensive one with all your info on it. 27

WE were talking about healthcare, YOU decided to go off on some bizarre tangent about economics (its relevance to universal healthcare is minimal at best for the direction of our argument). With that said; GDP does NOT measure health, infant mortality, suicide, crime, family breakdown, etc. So it really isn’t that great of an indicator of individual ‘wealth’ in non-economic terms. So, im not really sure why you would bring up how awesome our economics are in the first place. But with that said, you’re a dumbass for changing the subject abruptly and towards an irrelevant and ill based tangent. (believe it or not, you can have universal healthcare AND capitalism) This has little to do with what type of economy the US has. It has everything to do with the life of everyday, hardworking fellow Americans. Your confusing of the issues hides what you really have to say in order to take the stance that you've adopted: economic principles are more important than people's lives. And that, my friend, is absolute bull. 28

And if you need something badly enough, you'll find a way to afford it. The sad part is I don't even think it comes down to partisanism, it's more just a matter of human decency. Everyone has a right to f-ing live. 29

I hate Dilbert. Almost as much as I hate Garfield.
