I agree with your take on the situation and how it had evolved at HP. I too, have worked at HP for many years. It did not take a genius to see the points that you make at HP (although it seemed that way to many). Note that there are/were *many* managers at HP that have their own agendas. It's a managerial love-fest of CYA over at HP right now. IMO, it was Carly's JOB to fix the situation and restore HP to it's status of being a leader, innovator and a highly respected company. It's a compromise of making money and doing what's best for employees and citizens of the world, WHICH HAD ALWAYS BEEN DAVE AND BILL'S POLICY. It's aways a lot easier to take the easy path to success and join the herd of copycat company's, but IMO, Carly did not have the guts (maybe not even the power) or capability to fix HP.
the robot misinterpreted the sound as a sign that the man wanted to go to the bathroom. Later, every time a man cleared his throat before speaking, the robot changed directions and insisted to guide him to the restrooms.
And when he unzipped his pants, well, you know the rest...
To further tighten security on new installations, the Post-setup Security Update Wizard blocks all incoming traffic until the latest updates are applied and Automatic Updates are configured.
We have been going through this "locked down" proposal at the *large* company that I work for. It's a joke. You will have to "unlock" for many things to work properly. Anyway, we are all doomed if the AF buys into this.
The Hypervelocity Rod Bundles research project. That effort calls for creating a system of metal poles, fired from space, that could strike anywhere on the planet. It's a long-held -- and long-ridiculed -- idea. Keeping the rods from liquefying as they enter the
atmosphere is a daunting task, noted Columbia University physics professor Richard Garwin in a 2003 presentation. In order to be considered
effective weapons, he said, the "rods would need to be orbited at very low altitudes, and could only deliver one-ninth the destructive energy per
gram as a conventional bomb."
It is certainly true that the FBI were *very* interested in Lennon, especially during his "Marxist" phase, circa "Some Time in New York City". According to John Wiener ("Lennon vs the FBI" in Thomson and Gutman's "Lennon Companion") there is a 288 page file on Lennon in the FBIs "domestic security" section, of which 199 pages are still classfied "in the interests of defence of foregin policy", and thousands of pages
in the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
Rutan attacks US policy of striving to keep space access limited to military superpowers, which he believes is evidence of the smothering of commercial activities in near earth space.
The rate of occurrence of supernovae in our own galaxy is now reasonably well determined to be one every 25 years. Supernova remnants in our own Galaxy and nearby galaxies are theoretically observable for over a million years.

We have our own tools to perform updates.
