I called Dell the day it came out and explained that I was buying a laptop that day and I had been waiting for the m1530 to be released and that I was expecting a LED back lit screen, non glossy and a better resolution that what was offered. The rep attempted to explain that the LED was not better. I then stated that I didnt really want a MAC book Pro but I would go ahead and purchase a MAC. He placed me on hold and then came back on and asked if I could wait 4 days. I said I may be able to why? He said that the LED will be an option then and to call him back at his direct line when I see that option online and I can get 300 dollars off. Anyway so hold your horses guys, its coming!

Well on the Dell website I searched m1530 and actually got some results. Here are some parts for the m1530 listed as "new" items

sr... what planet? The Thinkpad X60 has a terribly small screen. I know I am not the only one looking for a Laptop with a 15" display that is LED backlit other than a MAC.... 12"?... terrible

I prefer the term "Fruit Fly" over "fag hag"

I would sit it there, take my happy time and when the door opens to the "public eye" I would be holding my balls up and wiping myself clean showing shit paper and all... This is perfect for the exhibitionist crapper.

Damit I cried too...:)

Rosie O�Donnell has quit �The View� early, thus ending the daily duel between America�s most recognizable lesbian and Elizabeth Hasselbeck, a Bush apologist.

Democracy-lovers understand the importance of kitchen-table forums, and �The View� had become under O�Donnell a model of political discussion for an audience usually more interested in hearing talk about popular entertainment. She� provoked daytime controversies for her viewers - which include many thoughtful women - that were then edited down and rebroadcast at night accompanied by critical review on the part of mainly male pundits.

What got lost in the translation was the deeply moral argument that O�Donnell was making about war and the human rights of non-Americans. Occasionally celebrities will speak of dead innocents, but criticism of the Iraq war is usually about strategy, and the fiascos in its execution. We get stuck on the missing WMDs, but talk no further about our own greed, deceit, and murderousness in roughly 100 years of policy and policing in the Middle East. O�Donnell stands out for rejecting the war because of civilian casualties and soldier casualties alike - and doing so not on the cable talkfest, but rather on an �entertainment� program.

O�Donnell�s pacifism is ridiculed when it questions the morality of the American military and of the decision-makers that send young people to kill and die in America�s name.

The fury came from comments made on the May 17 show, during which O�Donnell reminded Hasselback that �we�re invading a sovereign nation, occupying a country against the U.N.� She also said that she believes �6,000 dead Americans from 9/11 and from this war is a lot less than 655,000 dead Iraqis.�

Hasselbeck ignored the lives of the civilian dead O�Donnell focused on, and probed her about why she was mentioning them. �Who are the terrorists?� Hasselbeck asked.

O�Donnell�s moral starting point - that human life from any nation is equally valuable - and her other objections regarding needless deaths among American soldiers and the horrible treatment back home of those who are wounded were soon lost in a semantics dispute about the word terrorist, via Hasselbeck�s reductive question. Hasselbeck hinted that O�Donnell was revealing a sympathy for enemy ideology as part of a slur on American soldiers, when she was in fact reflecting empathy for Iraqi people subjected to our illegal war - launched in the name of liberating them.

Hasselbeck was relying on distinctions long ingrained among Americans - opposites that become ridiculous as the horror unfolds. Terrorism is suicide-bombing in cities. Soldiering is risking one�s own life to drop bombs from the sky on cities. Terrorism is gunning civilians on purpose.

Soldiering is gunning civilians because the soldier is some scared kid that panicked. Terrorists started it. Soldiers finish what politicians started. Terrorists are trying to build a caliphate. Soldiers may go on offensive to defend the homeland even as they advance an empire of freedom.

Terrorists have evil ideas that would make the world a bad place. Soldiers defend true ideas that make the world better.

By denying any equivalence between the bloody gruesomeness of the two enterprises, we can ignore the consequences of soldiers� actions and harp on terrorist atrocities. Soldiers represent the righteous sword of progressive American idealism. Terrorists are disruptive wasters, bent on backwardness. So goes the romanticization of our current war.

What if the romance is swept aside? Rosie tried to make it okay for average Americans to look behind the hijab of words like terrorist and freedom with their own common-sense tools of analysis. She was offering another perspective on our national identity - not from the prevailing media perspective of us and our boys - but from one that takes human account of those we have harmed.

And if we are able to make that accounting, perhaps we will also be willing to look at a 100-year policy based on oil, not democracy - in fact one that, as in the case of the Shah of Iran and the House of Saud was only too willing to sell out progressive reformers.

Rosie O�Donnell may speak as normal people speak - sometimes sweepingly, sometimes brilliantly, sometimes on shaky legs. She may embarrass the liberal cognoscenti. That does not destroy her moral perspective. She is a mother thinking of Iraq�s mothers, and that is a perfectly valid intellectual principle. O�Donnell said, �I believe every human life is equal.� Does anyone in this country but an American idealist believe such a thing?

All people are created equal, and it might take a loud lesbian to apply that truth to all nations, including those with indigenous rights to lands with oil.

"Split Scene

Every time Rosie O�Donnell would walk on stage during The View�s opening, she made a gesture of feigned shock that there were all these people wildly applauding for her. She would turn her hands upwards and furrow her brow in exaggerated confusion and then as she�d continue out towards the table (trailed by the other consistently waving co-hosts), her open Irish face would break into a bright wide smile. She was, it seemed from the very start, saying to everyone who watched: I am going to take you with me now, into the land of bright lights, quick touch-ups and major league pretend.
But doing that while still following the rest of the rules of network television proved ultimately an impossible balancing act for a woman who has remarkably balanced a great deal. Or rather a task whose compromises, not just of time away from her beloved family (a family, it can safely be said, she made a natural part of morning conversation despite the fact that it is unconventional by traditional � and it would seem now, in large part thanks to her � almost archaic standards) but of her fiercely held moral standards of what is right and what is real.
Television has taken almost every ounce of reality away from the very genre so named. We are all supposed to be in on the joke now � that everything we see is edited and manipulated to serve some larger narrative. To wit: the debauched kids on MTV�s Real World: The Moon! (Not really, but they�re seriously running out of places to house these drunken whores), the wrecked and weeping women riding away mascara-streaked in limousines after being dumped by the latest Bachelor, or the ever available desperados of afternoon talk shows. Jerry Springer is still perhaps the most extreme, and even he now has his own meta-show, The Springer Hustle where we see that guests are so heavily prepped by producers they�re actually told at what point to physically attack their cheating spouse (when the lie detector or DNA test comes back positive) or racist neighbor (when he or she inevitably and often gleefully uses the �n� word)
For Rosie what is real is synonymous with the truth and the truth is as precious a commodity as it is rare, at least in the realm of show business. On her heavily trafficked website, she often writes about things like feeding geese, befriending squirrels, baby birds hatching in a corner of her roof, her wife�s conservative family, her children�s small triumphs and the ordinary people she encounters� various struggles to survive. She puts her money where her mouth is and consistently gives it away, threatening to fire her financial advisors should she ever wind up on a Richest Celeb list. But she�s also fully recognized and taken advantage of the national audience she regained by joining The View this year, speaking out and devoting whole hours to issues like depression, autism, and the devastating illnesses now ravaging the 9/11 first responders.
Then there is The War. Rosie has relentlessly, with unmistakable rage and palpable grief refused, despite Barbara Walter�s awkward discomfort with it, to stop speaking out about this criminal administration and the Iraq War it made up, dressed up, and sold to our nation. �WAKE UP, AMERICA!� Rosie has, for years now, commanded from within the sometimes-confusing typographical trenches of her blog. Despite the fact that the media�s manipulations drove her from the very show she reinvented, Rosie�s fights with Elisabeth Hasselbeck did nothing if they did not wake us up. They were riveting in their rawness and to the extent one side of them ever seemed prepped, Rosie made no attempt to hide her disgust with such executively borne machinations. On what O�Donnell has since called Nuclear Wednesday, Hasselbeck made an analogy about a deadline for pulling out of the war and a timed football pass. Nothing could have articulated more clearly what Rosie seemed to find so anathema about this woman�s politics and ultimately her personal comportment. While Elisabeth appeared to almost relish the supposed gamesmanship of their political throw downs � going off to do sound bytes for the nightly �entertainment� show after Wednesday�s meltdown and assuring the public she wasn�t �mad� and that they would most definitely remain friends, they wore Rosie O�Donnell so far down you could literally see it in her eyes. They grew distant long before that eventual (and perhaps inevitable) d�nouement.
Rosie said it was the split screen that was the final nail in her View coffin. It makes sense. The split screen implied that these feelings and ideas Rosie holds so dear and was trying, so very hard it seemed, to communicate to Elisabeth (but also to anyone who had ever twisted her words to serve their personal agenda) about truth and justice and loyalty and humanity could be turned into an empty gesture of celluloid commercialism: Selling Rosie as the worst and most dishonest caricature of herself, one side of a two dimensional screen. Kind of like what the government has done to our nation. Every day veracity is under siege in America as the current administration tries to warp what�s actually happening while the vast majority of our mainstream media remains complicit with their systematic airbrushing of the bloody facts.
We who compulsively tuned into the video blog she began a few weeks ago with her quirky long time producer-cum-mustache artist and giant-turkey-wing-eating hair stylist saw that Rosie was clearly far more at ease back stage, behind closed doors with a face naked of all concealers, singing along to Amy Winehouse or Tina Turner and answering some of the thousands of questions she gets daily than she ever would be out on that carefully orchestrated studio set.
I am confident, however, that Rosie will return. Not to The View, but to the unmatched power that is television. She�ll don the necessary war paint and head out under the hot white lights and blinking audience signs. She may act more or less surprised that people still love her, despite and because of her rage. The fact is this: A steadfast quest to reveal what is really real requires Rosie stay out here, on the front lines of truth."-- AMANDA GUINZBURG

I use to want to donate organs until I assisted in a "organ harvest". I'm an OR nurse and let me tell you, there is nothing more humiliating than a Organ Harvest. Not only that. They just opened a Training facility not too far from my City where they put Corps in different scenarios and in different degrees of composing (some in a pond, some in a truck of a car, some just laying under a peach tree) This is to train people for forensic jobs. Humiliating. So this is where the "uncola" organ donors will probably go. Sad. Just place me on a rock in the Ganges and let birds peck my eyes out.

on Rosie's blog today, She said that she was given the wrong info by jim (who ever that is)
