    Watch out, Congress is already hell-bent on hate/thought crime legislation.

    Far preferable to the Slashdot Self Righteous Knights Templar Squad O' Dumbasses.

    Anyone who thinks my silly comment was even on the same planet as hate speech is operating on a zero intellectual level. I have never experienced such a flurry of over-sensitive holier-than-though blasted out the ass responses.

    Oh, and Sam Palmisano seems to be doing OK at IBM.

    Look who is being sensitive.

    Weak. Try again.

    I would much rather discuss Carly's consumer focus and lack of legacy product line focus than her ethnicity.

    Most of my post was serious. But the dumbasses just *HAVE* to get all holier than thou if someone doesn't toe the PC line. Gotta focus in on one little quip and desperately pretend they aren't just over evolved primates just like everyone else.

    I don't care where she came from, she ended up as CEO of a global enterprise. Where did you end up?

    Two Master's degrees, salary well into the six figures, eleven patents (hardware, not software), two dozen published papers, first person to win the top employee award at my company two years in a row and dead on target to retire at 50, maybe sooner. How about you?

    Oh, and I can deal with an off color or non-PC quip without soiling my underwear, which seems to be a rather rare attribute these days.

    What I find curious is my pizzeria quip got me accusations of racism from some humorless self-appointed guardians of the collective consciousness dumbasses, but my Carly As A Crack Whore post didn't get all that much negative response.

    So you're saying what, never hire an italian CEO? Real nice.

    Yes. That's exactly what that comment meant. Italians should never be hired as CEOs. You got it in one. Five by five. Spot on.

    My God, you people have become utterly incapable of recognizing a silly joke when you see one. Do message boards need to start implementing giant 400 pixel blinking smileys? Or maybe 48 point disclaimers saying "This is a silly little admittedly un-politically correct quip. Please get over self and deal with it."

    Until that display of foot-up-your-own-ass, I was right there with you, cheering on your comment.

    You know, some of you people out there really need to take some godamnned Prozac or Zoloft or something. It's getting to the point where posting "the sky is blue" generates half a dozen flames and complaints.

    It was just a joke, man. Lighten the holy mothereffing hell up. Don't be so sensitive.

    Bullpuckey. If they had such stellar research skills, they'd find the answer themselves. They'd WANT to. Anyone who shouts "cite" on the Internet is most often someone who you will never convince even if you do cite, so the act is a waste of time.

    Nuclear fuel can be recycled. That is not "random stuff" on the Internet.

    The real problem here is that I'm just not the evangelical type. I stopped giving a shit what anyone else thinks years ago, so I have no real inlcination to back up any arguments I make. If someone REALLY cares they'll check my opinions on their own.

    And I don't mean Windows versus PC. You think the only thing in the tech world is personal computers judging by much of the tech media.

    I keep seeing how HP was just a "printer company" when Carly showed up. No, they were also the premier test equipment company on the planet, where individual items command six figure price tags. And companies bought them, because such things are indispensible in electronic design. So that gets spun away as Agilent, and HP dives head first into already saturated markets with razor thin margins. Great.

    HP also used to make the best calculators on the face of the Earth. Yeah. Calculators. The things REAL engineers use instead of gaudy, buggy, inefficient pocket PCs or PDAs. They made *RPN* calculators. When God was figuring out the initial conditions of the Big Bang, He used an RPN calculator. ;-)

    Now HP appears to be competing with Mattel for the "My First Calculator" market with colorful plastics and hip angled keyboard layouts that are just the bomb or the shit or whatever the preschoolers (or those with the minds of preschoolers) are calling things these days. :-\

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again until I am forced by act of Congress to stop: NEVER hire a CEO with a last name that sounds like a pizzeria.

    And I still say in the right light Carly looks like Edie Falco.
