Kind of,
HP has had so many leaders within the past 10 years that they have no idea what assets they have.
Hell, HP bought a company that was a start up for the cloud idea back in... 2006 I think. They did nothing with it.
Now they are scrambling to fix it up, and the offering wont be that great if current middle management has its way.
HP lacks direction because quite simply HP hasnt had anyone worth a damn at the helm, leading to assets that they bought in the past to stagnate.
HPs problem is literally itself.
Their management style needs to change, middle management needs to be cleaned out and those that are smarter need to rise up.
Until then, this company will bleed money, sell off divisions, and end up as small as it was back in 1995.
If HP sells its printer lines, then you know they are in trouble.
No way should it ever be a right. I don't want to pay the medical bills of a smoker. I don't smoke, why should I have to cover their lung cancer? I don't want to pay the medical bills of someone who is too lazy to eat right and exercise. Do you? I don't want to pay for someone else's plastic surgery either.*
Get rid of this rights crap. Driving is a privilige not a right. The internet is not a right. Medical care is not a right. Fix the system so it is not so expensive (more high quality doctors, open pricing, let them compete with each other on pricing). There is a lot wrong with it, making it a right is the worst thing you can do.
* plastic surgery starts out as a cosmetic thing only, but then it shifts to a touchy feely thing. "It helps so and so fit in better, they feel better, therefore it is no longer cosmetic but some mental/emotional thing". blah

This sounds an awful lot like Novell.
Anyone who uses that as an excuse not to help someone with a flat should drop out of the human race entirely.
So be nice or you should just die? hmmm nice sentiment.

You mean bankrupt civilized nation
Bought a brand new Saturn in 1997, never saw such a list. Oh and mod GPP up!
Why don't we just use the Artist's power and convert one of their cities?
