Simply working "hard" doesn't mean you will -- or even deserve -- to strike it rich.
Of course, "deserve" has nothing to do with this discussion at all. The rich are not a meritocracy, especially since you can inherit yourself into the club.

No, it's like suggesting that tap water is better than a cold beer because you can.... water plants with it.... or maybe just drink it straight. All you can do with cold beer is drink it.

As much as she was incompetent and just plain wrong for the previous HP, keep in mind that you must invite the Devil into your life before (s)he will appear.
In this case a powerful member of the board, Dick Hackborn, was both her primary evangelist and her eventual executioner. Btw, Hackborn is both a former techie (so the/. crowd thinks he should know better) and the guy who led the printer division in its glory years.
While HP is no longer anything important where it had its former glory (except in, maybe, printing), the company has been remade, the person (publically) responsible has been thrown out, and the former ruling family has less influence than ever before, and the people on the board who were the movers behind the mess are largely untouched or more powerful than before.
Maybe all of this is part of some grand "vision" people like Hackborn have for the "new" HP (plus their own revitalized careers/reputations)? As a tech story it reads like a tragedy, but maybe from the corporate politics angle we're just entering the third act where the hero saves the day?

Um, is your fishtank at "the lake", by any chance?
Be caseful, pin compatibility might not be the only issue as we Opteron owners are finding out. Tyan's earlier server boards (e.g., K8S Pro S2882) are not dual-core compatible due to the VRM being insufficient. I wish we knew that fact before we bought our servers!
The AMD ones will work with current Socket 939 boards, providing the board maker provides a bios upgrade.
Not necessarily true, as we owners of Tyan's K8S Pro (S2882) Opteron boards are finding out. With these (seemingly very good) dual-cpu server boards, we thought we were buying scalability at least through to dual core, but VRM issues (i.e., Tyan likely used the cheapest parts to comply with the single-core spec) have Tyan disowning any dual-core compatibility...
Needless to say there are a bunch of us pissed-off server owners!
And as I said, it doesn't matter one whit if someone buys or not - spam will continue anyway, because there is the perception that it works (whether it actually does or not.)
Considering other industries, spamming must've matured enough now that people are profiting by selling spam-from-home turn-key packages, i.e., heading down the pyramid scheme/MLM road.
Unfortunately the techie turned manager, Dick Hackborn (board member, previously the guy credited with printing's success), was Carly's premiere evangelist (and eventual executioner too).
Google Hackborn and Fiorina and you'll get the whole story.
On a semi-serious note, I think you're more accurate than you're intending to be.
Celine Dion's French songs are much better IMHO than her forced, English stuff. Of course, that's her native language and she's been performing in French for far longer.
Likewise, Fiorina's a marketer by training/experience and completely lacks operational experience. Witness how people (press, shareholders, other business types) loved to listen to her, but her utter lack of success at *doing* anything coherent.

But Canada is spam free as well -- that can only mean that we're too drunk to write headers that catch the attention of the filters.

And the company managers who made these decisions are suffering in proportion to their responsibility, right?

He'll fix that in his post to the upcoming dupe.
Slightly OT: both he and Shatner were trained in acting at Lorne Greene's (Adm Adama of the old BG series) school in Toronto.
