I'm going to start disabling the proxy when I'm not at this site. It sucks having to use a proxy to view this site, but I think my ISP has the fuckmicrosoft domain blocked or the webmaster might've configured his computer to block my real IP from connecting(I don't know why he would do that though).

A traceroute will tell the tale...

the webmaster didnt say anything about disabling anyones account except for the secrective cunt a while back.

i didnt see the option on Dells web site. But to certain businesses.. and Dell premier partner/resellers, i know.. for a fact.. Dell will ship Dell Precision Workstation Moblie M50s (Laptop) with Redhat and not windows. Wether youll be able to talk to anyone that will do it for you is uncertain.
Dell does huge volume.. they dont care about indivudual users to waste their time with your OS requests.. theyll just choose not to sell to you. But when a large company or the government, who spends millions a month to Dell ask for something.. they get it much easier.

When you are trying to look up how reliable the reseller is, don't do it through BBB, do it through http://www.resellerratings.com because they have a much larger database.

while i am sure that you are actually right, simply the fact that they have a larger database is not good enough to say they are a better way to find out how reliable a reseller is. Say, for instance, that bbb had 600 people on their database and resellerratings had 3000, but lets imagine that there are actually only 600 reputable resellers, this means that the one with the larger database would have a huge chance of recommending a DISreputable reseller, while the bbb service may well have entirely only good ones.
As i say, no criticism to you, i am sure you are correct, and i will say i know nothing about how to conduct business online, just pointing out a logical hitch that i spotted.

Thanks muffin, I made the same mistake as void.
I would build my own if it was a desktop I was getting. I want a laptop.
Building your own is easy, and can be lots cheaper, although I have found that when you look into this option you often decide you want the superior hardware, and thus spend more.
