That's not really funny, dude.
Not everyone automatically makes the mental jump to derrogatory stereotypes.
You shouldn't assume everyone is as much of an ass as you.
Yes but how powerful is the processor on the thing? Because if it's slow and crappy, it won't really be useful for browsing as the pages will load in eternity. If I wanted that, I could just use the PSP (granted, the keyboard and big screen one-up the PSP). If it's a spiffy lil thing, then for a 100 bucks, it's not so bad.
Looks very plasticky though.
WOW KAPUR! YOUR OBVIOUSNESS ASTOUNDS US!
In other news, Dell has a $499 laptop. Go nuts.
I agree; I would try to learn another language rather be ig'nant. And not all Muslims are like Osamal many more are just moderates. Let's keep it that way, yes?
Just thought I'd point out that the comment to which I was replying has since been removed. So my comments now look rather out of place -- but for those who are reading now, please know that there had been something there before.
And I'm sorry, again, that this has gone so far off-topic . . .
You guys are retarded. Who said he was Muslim?
That's a cool hack.
i was asking what he said
It was only a joke u guys, calm down.
What was inflammatory was your derrogatory use of the name "Osama", intimating that due to the poster's Middle-Eastern-sounding name, that there was a connection to the terrorist leader. Seeing as no part of the poster's name resembles the name "Osama", your comment comes across as rude and insulting, as you were not simply "asking what he said", rather, you were slipping in a ridiculing remark.
If what you asid was misunderstood, I apologize. However, given the context of your remarks, I felt that there was a greater probability than not that you were out of line, and felt that I should call you on it. After all, if individuals say things that are grounded in no more than petty stereotypes that are rooted in ignorance, and nothing is done about it, such comments become commonplace, and mankind will only regress.
I also apologize for this coment being off the topic of the blog post, but I felt it was important to address Mr. McEachern's comments. Let the "Zipit" conversation continue!
Just to let everyone know, Muazzam's comment is in a Scandinavian language, based on the linguistic typology and the use of certain accented (å and ö) characters. Either Norwegian, Hungarian or Swedish.
as i posted on hackaday ... my $90 ebay'd j720 is exponentially superior to this. and cheaper.
