Comrades, my harddrive has failed when my laptop fell upon the ground. Clearly the lack of shock protection is a Capitalist plot to enrich the coffers of greedy computer manufacturers. Despite living in the world of Next Tuesday ™ all the Hope(TM) for Change(TM) did not cause the failed drive to function.

Nor was I able to redistribute a harddrive as none would recognize my greater need. Thus I had to resort to ordering a replacement.

When will we have a progressive, socialist computer manufacturer to save us from the running dog capitalists?

Perhaps I have the fix for a sick hard drive...


If that doesn't work, might I suggest using a Party-approved alternative

Comrade, now that your hard drive is dead, just drop Obama an email, he'll send you a new one and someone to install it. And the FBI has backups of all your files.

Although, you should be using the People's Iconoclastic Computer, the Mac, running the People's Freeware OS. Ubuntu Linux. "Oonga boonga bwana"

I emailed Obama to get a replacement harddrive, complete with FBI backups. However as I hadn't made met my required voluntary contribution to ACORN for this week, I was refused. Also my bank account somehow shrank by the amount required by ACORN.

Meanwhile I will spend my CEU's for a new harddrive tomorrow. Fortunately a live MEPIS Linux CD is letting me get my regular dose of Cube Propaganda.

Hey, just get this new model comrade, garunteed to not fall, because it's very heavy, and already on the floor.
May require your life-partner to operate the secondary componets.

Comrade Commissar, that is a brilliant idea. I will put in a request to be allowed to get on the waiting list to be considered for the waiting list to requisition a slip to get on the list to acquire the opportunity to stand in line to use on of those computers as you describe.

That said though, AlGore has shown mercy on my computer and granted me a new hard drive so I am back in business. Although I don't think I like the MEPIS Linux I installed and will go back to Fedora Core.

Since you are more equal then many, I can imagine you would get a year or two knocked off on these waiting lists. As such, you could get it before the new models come out.

Have fun in Fedora Core.

I personally prefer this e-Machines model. It allows you to continue blogging while plowing the collective farm fields, or browse progressive websites while digging beets, as well as sending petitions demanding the arrest of thoughtcriminals and voting for Obama's 100 days in office success - all the while participating in the glorious shovel-ready projects.

Glorious Comrade Red Square, simply glorious! Might I ask when a smaller version with an LCD display will be available, and where the solar panels for this unit are? Or does it run off of energy created by movement? Stop digging beats or plowing fields, and the computer shuts down?

Yes, it's connected to your shovel. Then there's a simple gadget that uses the shovel's mechanical power to extract hydrogen from the atmosphere, then send it to a fuel cell that burns the hydrogen to create water for the fields, while the heat is used to rotate a small steam turbine that generates enough power to run the PC, as well as an ultrasonic speaker to scare away small animals and insects.
