Larry Ellison Rips HP Board a New One
theodp writes "No stranger himself to sexual harassment allegations, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison has denounced HP's directors for forcing the resignation of HP CEO Mark Hurd. 'The HP board just made the worst personnel decision since the idiots on the Apple board fired Steve Jobs many years ago,' Ellison wrote. For now, it seems that Rupert Murdoch is also standing by Hurd, who sits on News Corp's Board of Directors and its Corporate Governance Committee. Less likely to survive the scandal is Hurd's relationship with HP General Counsel Mike Holston, who accepted Hurd's signed separation agreement after leading an investigation into Hurd's actions, which Holston told the NY Times 'showed a profound lack of judgment.' Quite a change from just last year, when Hurd and Holston teamed up to get their daughters' elite prep school a state-of-the-art HP Data Center."
You mean that you were unable to make your point without it also being flamebait.
When you put an irrationally absolutist statement into other peoples' mouths, you become guilty of the thing you are accusing them of.

Mr. Hurd probably dines nightly on bottles of vintage champagne that are *STILL* cheaper, litre-by-litre, than HP printer ink!
Gentoo Linux - another day, another USE flag.
You just put up a completely ludicrous feminist-bashing post, with little ground in reality, and then got a flamebait mod? You could knock me over with a feather.
Not employees or contractors. That is the first thing you learn in business school.
