He was recruited in as the CIO in 1998 and was installed as COO after they tossed Piffer earlier this year. Could this be the end of Compaq's troubles? Time will tell.

    High, but never 100%. You always have the option of only reading the stories that interest you. It certainly isn't a serial stream. Did you comment to the other sites that their ratio was too low?

    On the other side of the same coin, I will agree with another comment I saw recently that made the point that /. seems to be getting to be more of a press release portal lately.
