HP hasn't had a successful acquisition since they bought Convex Computer decades ago. They essentially trash every company they buy and either let it die or sell off the remains. Palm, EDS, Zenith Data Systems.... it goes on.
Since HP is now run by bean counters, acquisitions give an "illusion of progress" to those who cannot lead innovation.
This has been a systemic problem with HP since the Fiorina days.
The company is dying and most of their innovators have moved on in frustration.
I'd rather see poor farms brought back. Housing, medical and teaching one to work for a living all in one place. Money for nothing teaches people to slack. Yes, there is the mental health issue for some which would need special attention.
When someone broadcasts their personal opinions and lives to the world on Twitter, they can expect differing opinions and criticism if done in a self righteous fashion.
Twitter is sort of like the old Usenet for commoners.
That is shat happens when the internet goes mainstream and low tech.
I've done the same on one of my laptops. My only complaint is no easy solution to get Canon wireless printer drivers installed. Wired, yes but so far, wireless has been a problem.
Pot calling the kettle black. They're worried the Russians are effecting the election outcome and at the same time the DNC was doing the same with its anti Sanders tactics.
I rented a Chrysler 200 once. It had a KNOB for the gearshift. Inane and was dangerous when doing a turnabout. Some conventions make sense. Chrysler is designing nonsense.
I go to a lot of concerts but I find smart phone users during the show very obnoxious.
We went to see Tom Petty at the Rose Quarter/Moda center in Portland . The folks in front of us were constantly taking selfies *with flash* , googling, doing fucking Facebook and more during the music. It was such a bad experience, we'll never return to that venue.
We've run in to the behavior at other shows but not as bad as this one.
I'm all for bagging cellphones during concerts if people can't learn to behave with them.
Some of the venues I go to (smaller ones) remind idiots when they're being idiots with cellphones.
I'm in the same demographic. I listen to "adult rock" kozt.com They have a person there who actually scouts out new music and does a reasonable job at it. When I hear something I like, I write it down and buy it online. It's not a "classic oldies" station FWIW. It works for me.
I use a low power FM transmitter at my house to broadcast streaming internet radio. I can turn on any radio at the end of the band to hear the music. Works great. Bought the transmitter on Amazon.
When I buy music, I do it via Amazon (if you by the disc, they give you the MP3). I like the.mp3 format. I won't buy music via iTunes because of the proprietary format that won't play via USB stick in to my car stereo.
For streaming, it's Pandora and TuneInRadio (I stream a station I like located far away.... radio is crappy in my locality).
You mean to say they wouldn't like to get to know Honey Boo Boo or the Kardashians? They wouldn't like our politicians or reality TV (one of the same)?
How does one get from one side of the doughnut to the other without lots of walking? Seems to provide a very inefficient means of traveling within the complex with all of the dead space in the middle unless I'm missing something.

He must plan on hiring some pretty stupid engineers if it takes 3000 of them to design a battery.
"Director" jobs at HP are a joke. Mostly someone who knows someone or has something on someone. They get paid lots for doing not much anything.
Sort of like the old "Grand Poo Bah" positions (less the funny hats).
I had a feeling the comments to this article would be hilarious.
I suggest we put backpacks on politician's backs with a gas tube up their asses. That would provide energy for school buses to run on vs. cars.

HPE makes Enterprise hardware as well as networking hardware and IT services.
HP's fiscal year ends the last day of October.

I hate Yahoo's big titted "this will make your jaw drop" headlines in their sidebar "news" stories.

TSA was created by Bush as a knee jerk reaction to 9-11. I'm surprised Obama hasn't gotten rid of it.
However, government never seems to get smaller nor can it realize a mistake. It only perpetuates (in this case) an unnecessary bureaucracy.
Let's go back to metal detectors and private security. My tube of toothpaste isn't the problem.
TSA is.
I've been buying WD drives since Seagate drive quality has gone to shit.
They need to fire their management first.

We would dial the letters "popcorn" in So. California on the General Telephone network to get the time recording.

Red licorice dispenser on the headliner?
Techniques turntable, Marantz 2285B, JBL L40's.

No problem. Their receivers to to eleven.

How could they pass us up?
