Dell complaints

It is not too hard to set up a web site. One of you more hateful folks should just do that, and make it good enough so everyone moves over there. Then folks can talk about IhateIhateDell.net and vote with our mouse. Owner seems to have a simiilar attitude as Dell itself,,, Hmmmmmm,,, I wonder.... anyway, maybe that attitude will improve when traffic drops off. Ok, who has the cajones to make it happen?

There are a couple of practical constraints. One is that after this site became a thorn in Dell's butt, they bought up every domain they could think of that contained their name.

Another is the time and effort to regain lost inertia on Google. They go not only by content, but by currentness and how many clicks a site generates within Google itself. It could be quite some time before a new site became recognized to the point anyone could realistically be expected to find it.

And observationally, the public interface with almost any business person is going to leave you with pretty much the same impression, that they're just in it for themselves and don't care about anything else. That observation isn't always objectively fair or accurate. I think we, here, are all prejudiced against business by our exposure to Dell, if nothing else.

Let's looks at the good points of this site.

1.) This site does not cost the visitors anything out of our pockets
2.) This site is widely known and trusted
3.) This is truly one of the only real forums to actually find acurate information involving upcoming changes at Dell.

If you wish to have a faster server donate to Rocke.

Also remember this site is working, it is just not running as fast as some people would like. It seems today everyone is really impatient. What is two-three extra minutes of time really going to hurt when loading a site. I think everyone in the world needs to slow down a little bit and not always be in a rush, starting with myself. Cool

As of 5-2, server performance has returned to nominal. That is, with a 6M local loop and 2M distance loop (standard cable modem), response is nearly instantaneous.

It doesn't get any better. Even within Dell's 10M LAN, server response was no better, and often worse.

'Course, those were Dell servers...........

What Rocke really needs is a farking job, since Dell and the entire US tech industry outsourced my 40+ year career to gawdam China at the behest of revisions in US tax code. I have looked into it. There are no recharging stations or internet access nodes when you live under a bridge.

I am currently--by default--the grand exaltant poobah of IHD. As cynical a conspiracy theorist as I am, I don't have any trepidation about current site ownership. He's just a schmuck trying to make a living, and doing better at it than I am. At least the electric company is not threatening to cut him off for delinquent payment.

Bane, FYI, I have the same capabiility within the PHP interface that the owner has. I am restrained however, by the fact that he owns the board and I do not.

Hey, the info presented on layoff has been true. Heck, I talk to my manager with these rumours, and they always say where you learn that?? The info presented here since I been on has always been at the mark. I use this board to find out whats going on. I thik that the Dell trolls know this as well. And I do know there is a section that monitors this site, and it does frustrate them. Because everything posted here does come true. W@hy want get rid of utility?? This board has always been on the mark.

It may begin as "pure speculation" but 99% of the time, this same speculation is followed by fact.

Maybe reading more than 1 or 2 random posts would shed some light on that for you?

I too, while tenured at Dell, brought up "pure speculation" to my Manager at the time and was asked in a similar way where I got this info from. Then they said it was just heresay and rumor-mongering, which in the end turned out to be exactly what was posted as mere "speculation".

This site is THE place to come for the inside scoop on the dealings within Dell-topia. Good, bad and shady all the same.

Dell is about as hard to figure out as a 6 year old denying he ate a box of candy from behind a mustache of chocolate. Whatever management announces is going to happen, the opposite is true.

I suspect that Dell employees are more afraid of the HR Gestapo than they are of this board when it comes to posting. Back when I was daydreaming about tech employment returning, I was very cautious here about identifying my Dell knowledge and activity in such a way that it could be associated with a person, even though they had laid me off 4 years earlier.

Like Stephen Stills said once, paranoia strikes deep.
