US pastor calls for boycott of Microsoft, HP
H_TeXMeX_H:
I disagree with the reason for this boycott ... it is because M$ is a monopoly that it should be boycotted ... and HP should definately NOT be boycotted ... they are one of the few companies whose printers are almost guaranteed to work on Linux and other UNIX based systems, they provide free drivers for them too ... UNLIKE LEXMARK :fu: Lexmark :mad:
worker201:
However, HP is also a company that sells crippled hardware systems to grandmas at BestBuy. They still do some innovating, but their consumer market has eclipsed their corporate image. And consumer PC companies are crazy. I could go out right now and get an HP laptop that would not work with Linux - that's part of the Windows market, I guess.
So HP isn't perfect just because their printers are Linux compatible.
H_TeXMeX_H:
Yeah I guess so ... but their printers are pretty damn good ... compared to Lexmark

Jimmy James calls for boycott of Rev. Ken Hutcherson
The Center Of The Universe: A badass has called for a national boycott of Ken Hutcherson, Jerry Fallwel and other biblethumpers that denounce equality, saying the thumpers have underestimated the power of intelligent thought.
The Jimmy James, hero of intelligent thinking persons on the Earth, said he would formally issue the boycott on Thursday on the people's haven of the Internet. "We're tired of sitting around thinking that some fat old white guy's morals can be forced on our country," he said. "This is not a threat, this is a promise. Check out the past presidential election. The people clearly proved their inability to make informed, intelligent decisions."
Last week, several hatemongers, including Hutcherson, Fallwell, Fred Phelps, and Jimmy Swaggart whined a lot about a letter from several major businesses urging passage of a measure which would add "sexual orientation" to a state law that already bans discrimination in housing, employment and insurance based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, marital status and other factors.
Hucherson is affirming his hatred and boorishness by calling for a "boycott" against these companies. James, who has organized ass-kicking rallies all around the world, says he pressured Hutcherson into pissing his pants last year by threatening to make fun of the Bible. The preacher, who was criticised by everyone across the United States, insisted he took a "moral" stance to focus on pissing off the citizens of the United States and the Earth.
GenuineAdvantage:
Do you really think that Microsoft, or any ther corporation, would "support" anything like that because they want to do good? Cigarette companies spend more money advertising their charity than on the actual charity they gave. It's all a load of crap. Corporations are not living breathing persons with ideals, just money makers. I'm not saying that's necessarily wrong (apart from them having control of government), but that's all they are.
