A Colorado man who has been fighting with his computer for the last several months unloaded a volley of shots into his Dell tormentor, resulting in the death of the computer and his arrest for discharging a firearm, cops report.
When asked about the shooting, Hinch told TSG, I just had it, adding that he tired of the balky computers blue screen of death. Hinch said that he whacked the computer with a 9mm Hi-Point pistol recently purchased from a Craigslist seller. The gun was seized by police, who left the computer behind.
The late Dell XPS 410 model, seen in the above police evidence photo, is survived by a monitor and a keyboard.

I was just thinking if Judge Bork were still alive a perfect sequel to his book could be called “Slouching towards Idiocracy”. (talk about prophetic movies)
Every day I think the world can’t get “any more stupider”.
Windows 8.1? I agree with the person.
A POX on Gates!
Too Cute!

I’ll leave that up to you.
Only use a laser printer. It doesn't have to be expensive.
Deskjets (or as I call them, desksh*ts) are designed to vex you, and waste your time.
When your laser printer starts whining about toner, pull the cartridge out, and shake-shake-shake-a-puddin'. Then put it back in.
You'll get plenty of pages. Use the cartridge till you KNOW it hasn't got any toner left in it.
Oh, another tip - ALWAYS do a page print range on a print job. I like to use the preview, too.
I know, right? I got so tired of hearing her whiny torch songs, but the stations just kept playing them into the ground.

I had a Dell and liked it. But it gave up the ghost in 2012.
Ask not for whom the Dell tolls...
We had a picnic and sold sledge-hammer blows at it for $5 a pop. The data entry gals loved it and we cleared $1000 for the coffee fund.
I know the feeling well. I used a sledge hammer on one of mine. Now in the case of my ex wife, if I’d shot her when I first wanted to, I’d have been out by now.
Bttt.
Get an Okidata printer..... still a work horse and a ScanSnap from Fujitsu
Tech support is friendly and helpful for both devices.
A piece of crap, shot with a piece of crap. He should have used it to bludgeon it to death.
I have a Dell now(Had this one for the last two years) had to buy the extended warranty for it otherwise if you have an issue Dell won’t even bother talking to you) its been alright. Had more issues with Windows 8 than anything else. A while back my computer would reboot after I turned it off for no reason, couldn’t be explained..than someone from Dell finally after 20 phone calls figured it out. There was a windows 8 update that was causing a conflict with the bluetooth that came with the PC even though I never used bluetooth..so once I rolled back that update the issue went away
COMPUTER LIVES MATTER
They always blame the monitor. It’s just wrong, I tell you.
