Dell CEO Tells All
zapatero writes "The San Francisco Chronicle has an enjoyable read with new Dell CEO Kevin Rollins. He has quite a critique of the HP acquisition of Compaq: 'They had a great, profitable printer business before. They still have a great, profitable printer business. ... Their profits are 70 to 80 percent from the printer business. So that's the area where the profit pool still lives. It's where it lived before. It's where it still is now. So I just ask, what's changed?'"
I guess it's time to... RTFA now or something.
Oh... and... fp! :)

I don't feel like getting a fucking SF account. Someone please report that the "yesterday's news" button just shows today's news, and also does if you keep going back in time.
Thanks.
Tsk tsk no Goatse.cx link please.
I'm curious, and this is a serious question. Exactly what the fuck motivates you trolls to sit around SlashDot posting shit like this? What's the thrill? What drives you to waste your time posting things like this?

I think Xerox makes the best color laser printers. I know those are still too expensive for most of us, but the college where I work probably has purchased at least 100 HP B&W laser printers, but we have purchased only Xerox color laser printers. Why? SPEED!!! For $2000 (at the time) we could get an HP that did 6 pages a minute of a Xerox that did 16. Do the math, and guess what we went with. I must say the HP were a little bit more difficult to jam (I only notice it on the Xerox when we print 500+ pages at once), but that slight edge in reliability is not worth the decrease in speed.
More than 60% of U.S. corporations didn't pay any federal taxes for 1996 through 2000
So, you going to vote for Nader? Or Cobb? Or are you going to pretend that we didn't have a Democrat as president 1996-2000?
Are you going to show some courage and vote for a candidate who really believes in real change? Or are you going to vote for John Kerry?
John Kerry, who favors an anti-gay Massachusetts Marriage Ammendment, who has pledged to leave the troops occupying Iraq, who voted for the Patriot Act and the Digital Millenium Copyright Act.
The Democratic Party is good at telling lies about how they care for people and then bleeding them to give money to the powerful. You going to buy that line again, like a battered woman who takes her abuser's word that he'll respect her this time?
Vote Cobb. Vote Nader. Write in Eugene V. Debbs or Pigasus. And remember that if you vote Kerry, you're voting for 60% of corporations to pay no taxes, the Iraq War, the Patriot Act, and the DMCA.
So I'm a crack-smoker because I don't see the attraction of trolling?

I'm not trolling. I really, truly, honestly get my knickers in a twist over punctuation abuse.
If I was a troll, I wouldn't have Excellent karma, and regularly (at least once out of every 3 or 4 posts) get a "5, Insightful", "5, Informative", "5, Interesting" or "5, Funny".
And I'd post anonymously, like you. And probably use a lot of inappropriate racial slurs like "nigger" for no reason at all. And post links to goatse. Or Tubgirl. Or talk about "GNAA". That's the sort of shit trolls do. I'm not a troll. I'm just slightly nuts and obsessed with the proper(ish) use of language.
