<0> morning
<1> jesus I just got a dell laptop you belive the amount of **** that comes preinstalled on it
<2> aol for you!
<0> lol
<0> prolly a FAT32 installed windoze too on that new comp
<3> Can anyone recommend me a big PC case?
<0> fat32 won't support files over 4gigs or something
<0> is slower, and is a bigger pain in the *** than ntfs
<0> imp4kt: thermaltake or Lian Li BTX server cases
<0> there's a bunch
<4> you could use the wall...that would hold alot of HW..
<5> yeah lian li makes huge cases
<3> Thanks _mre|29A
<6> Lazerbeak: I would never buy laptops from a manufacturer that has been sued *TWICE* for their laptops.
<6> Just a little friendly reminder.
<7> who was sued?
<6> DELL.
<7> ahh
<0> Dell ****s big donkey ****s
<0> i've taken their laptops apart, piece by piece
<7> the HP/Compaq laptops are decent
<0> they have numorous design flaws
<0> biggest design flaw is the type of cpu fans they use on their laptops
<7> never realized you were an engineer
<7> cool
<0> they are designed to burn out in a little over a year
<0> i'm not, i'm a tech
<8> #xbins
<6> They got sued for that.
<0> not as a tech i can tell what hardware their useing
<0> they're*
<0> and how long from experience i've seen that hardware last
<6> http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/01/12/inspiron_defect_lawsuit/
<6> Dell accused of selling defective notebooks - again
<0> the little ****ty fans they use to cool their cpus, inside inspiron laptops, are designed to fail after 1 year
<6> _mre|29A: It's the motherboards that burn up a little after a year, not their CPUs :P
<0> i've replaced these fans before
<0> takuma: there's other issues with hear
<6> Didn't that **** start with their Inspiron models?
<0> but this is the biggest issue i've seen with their Inspiron
<0> models
<0> hear=that
<0> which burns up the cpu and board
<0> other parts of the board are pretty shabbily designed, for heat disipitation
<9> what exactly is a "formatted" blank diskette ?
<0> but that little fan over the cpu is usually the first to go
<9> just a blank floppy
<0> jewels: a blank floppy with a filesystem on it
<9> great
<9> TY
<0> <9> what exactly is a "formatted" blank diskette ?
<0> somebody topic this
<0> hehe
<0> cl***ic
<9> reason I ask
<9> I tried downloading drivers for a old dell Inspition lappy
<9> went to install em
<9> and it said
<0> back when dell laptops actually held up
<9> insert a formatted blank diskette
<0> before Michael Dell moved all the Dell service jobs to india
<0> and mexico
<9> into A drive
<7> if the laptops were made in india, theyd prolly be better made
<0> personally i think if you move jobs outside of the US for tax benefits and to pay employees less, you should be forced to live in that country
<9> would just a plain blank floppy be ok ?
<0> compdoc: they're made in mexico, supported in india
<7> india is becoming pretty good at tech stuff
<0> Michael Dell and Bill Gates should move to New Delhi
<0> they're traitors to the american way
<0> compdoc: true
<0> ****s when you have to call some company that outsources their support to india
<0> and you can't understand jack **** of the butchered english their tech speaks
<2> and they cant understand you
<7> I talked to a lady in support with an Indian accent the other day, and asked her where she lived. Tampa, FLA
<2> i remember back in the day when i called dell and the tech was really a tech and could tell by how i talked i knew wtf was doing and would just say "we'll send the replacement right out sir"
<2> now its either an english speaker who can only read the promp screen or an indian
<2> prompt
<2> you have to have a support contract if you want to talk to anyone that actually knows something now
<0> yep
<0> when i had a support contract with dell, for my Poweredge server, i talked to americans
<0> compdoc: B U L L S H I T
<0> they're supposed to tell you that
<0> you were talking to some monkeybrain eater in India
<7> naw, I beleived her - we chatted
<10> On booting it says <ROOT>/windows/system32 hal.dll can not be found. Well, hal.dll is there, and just in case I deleted it and replaced it with still the same error. Could this be a boot.ini problem, or should I be looking elsewhere?
<0> i used to work tech support
<0> they lie on where they're calling from
<2> chilled monkey brains?
<0> i got one woman from MS Validation to admit they were in india
<2> maybe some snake surprise on the side??
<0> but i could tell i cornered her into it
<10> They completely sound like they are from India
<2> all the idians have american names
<0> spamalope: yeah, they're barely one step away from living in cardboard boxes
<0> pisses me off that the neocrooks want us to compete with them
<2> "Hi, this is Jill"
<0> americans shouldn't have to compete for jobs with ppl in 3rd world countries
<0> i get pretty short with foreign tech support
<0> because i know the person you're talking to is taking food out of an american worker's mouth
<2> i think it should illegal
<0> it should be
<0> these companies like Dell and Gateway
<0> and Micro****
<5> there's a lot of americans that don't want to work tech support
<5> it's a pain in the ***
<0> get tax breaks
<0> desolate: not anymore
<2> they are already replacing american admins with 'remote admins' from india hah
<0> this isn't 1997
<5> i know i don't want to work it
<5> it's a headache
<0> lots of americans are unemployed or underemployed
<0> i agree
<0> but i know plenty of IT techs without work
<2> there are PLENTY of ppl wanting help desk jobs
<0> out of work
<2> you have to start somewhere
<0> getting paid $7 an hour
<0> spamalope: yep
<2> when i hired my help desk guy i had 250 apps
<2> interviewed 20
<0> these ppl, Michael Dell, the scumbag that owns gateway, Billy Gates, should be forced to live in India, since they do so much for their ****in economy
<10> So would you all think that hall.dll error would even be related to a bad boot.ini?
<0> spamalope: back in the 80s and 90s it was just bluecollared manufactureing jobs being outsourced
<0> now they're doing it entry level white collared jobs
<0> and then they wonder why most 30somethings still live at home with their parents
<7> Jemeni, I dont think so, but what is the exact error?
<0> the Bush administration has helped India's economy and CHina's economy, and is bankrupting America's economy
<5> Jemeni: it sounds like it's trying to boot to the wrong hard drive. check the bios for bootup priority
<7> oh, missing hal.dll
<0> one reason why i'll never vote for another repukeican as long as i live, or a DINO (democrat in name only)
<10> "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
<10> <Windows root>\system32\hal.dll.
<10> Please re-install a copy of the above file."
<7> thats not what youd get from a bad boot.ini
<7> youd get a blue screen, and cant find boot device
<0> Bill CLinton was a DINO, and his wife won't be getting my vote in 2008
<5> bill clinton did a fine job
<0> even tho Clinton did alot of good stuff, and made our economy very sound
<0> he did
<10> Ok, I was wondering if it was boot.ini because it happened right after I made a change to it. But it also happened after installing video drivers
<5> hilary is off the ticket from what i read last
<0> but he also p***ed NAFTA
<5> I will vote for John Edwards.
<5> he's the truth.
<0> NAFTA is where all this **** started
<0> exporting american jobs to 3rd world countries
<5> he made cheney sound like an idiot in the presidential debates
<0> well... that's not hard
<0> Cheney is an idiot
