Dumb is where you find it. The dumbest person ideologically I have ever met was a chief scientist where I work. Always going on about what he'd do if he were in charge. Batshit stuff. I finally told him that should that ever come about, I'd *personally* command the rebel army against him. The baffled look on his face was priceless, and it stopped him prattling on about mothereffing, fartsucking politics in my presence at least.
Oh, please... Fuck you and anyone who can't handle accurate criticism of anyone other than lily white males.
So glue a cock to her and paste on some chest hair. She represents the worst of the American business mindset. Go read what she helped do to Bell Labs and Lucent.
Ah, yes, Carly "I never met a well compensated, high tax revenue generating engineering position I didn't want to ship overseas" Fiorina.
How is the old bat doing? That senate run didn't work out so well, did it? Wonder if she spent any of her $20 million severance package on it.
As bad as she was at HP, many any gods or goddesses that exist NEVER forgive her for the destruction of Bell Labs/Lucent. She was part of the team that brought about the end of pure research at Bell: research that once led to transistor, the silicon microprocessor, fiber optics, communication satellites, Unix and C++. Oh, and it was a Bell antenna allowed humanity first heard the echos of the Big Bang.. Bell Labs was a key component in the USA's post WWII tech boom.
There will always be someone to service the market. We use all sorts of weird PCs for data capture and analysis at work. The company that makes our sells a few hundred a year tops. Doctorow rants about civil wars aside, there will always be a nice for general purpose (or high end specialty) computing.
And that new tax revenue stream would go directly to creating a nationwide wonder network of gleaming fiber and BAH HA HA HA HA! Yeah, yeah... uh huh
And we'll all get freshly baked cookies delivered by the new "Keebler Over Ethernet" protocols, and pretty birds singing sweet rock and roll will gives us free porn apps! And Stallman and Doctorow will put up shiny new HTML 6/Web 3.0 web sites detailing the coming enslavement of humanity because some people like the iPhone.
Cue the ACs calling me a horrible person for being so negative about the government and not having a 1500 page solution to the world's problems that does not involve unicorn magic and well timed pandemics.
Or go to SnootyMart like me.:-) It's not the cheapest, but they have a deli, bakery and butcher in store that are the best for miles around, and the loyalty card along with cash register generated coupons generally brings the prices in line with other, scruffier stores.
They redid the store last year to replace most of the harsh lighting with moodier indirect stuff, and at Christmas they bring in a grand piano and someone to play holiday tune. Last year's dude took requests. He knew the freaking Claymation Christmas version of We Three Kings. That was epic.
The experience has been uneventful other than the occasional 2 for 1 on the french bread rolls from their awesome bakery. Sweet Feathery Jesus, they make sourdough French bread that can cause spontaneous orgasms like in the Matrix. Wish I had some right now....
I have perfectly good credit card that gives me perfectly good rewards to the point that I run my whole life through it and get nearly a thousand dollars a year in free stuff. It's also with a bank that is S.H.I.E.L.D.-like when it comes to detecting and snuffing out unauthorized shit. So why do I want some other middle man to get in the way again?
Yeah, but the potential of extraction from seawater is mind boggling. The Japanese have been working on this for a long time, and they estimate the uranium content of the main current off their coast carries by more uranium in a year than the total known reserves left in the ground. I just hope the Fukishima disaster doesn't put a damper on the basic research they are doing.

Of course it isn't Tatooine itself
Yeah, we figured that bit out.
4 out of 5 mods disagree with you, anonymous entity, or just got the reference. :-P
I think we can all see where this is going.
Programmer centipede.
You know I'm right.

So, basically, fuck that cunt.

When asked if the face paint was too thick, a soldier demonstrating the product said, "Mmmph mmmm mmmh mmmph mmm mmmmph."

Wheee! Monday!
Hank Pym's super ants got out of the lab again.
How the fuck does this rate troll? All I really did was agree with the OP and make an Aeon Flux (animated) reference.
Did you reply to the right post? Personally, I think the guy needs help, not jail, but the mental health landscape in this country is abysmal.
Apparently I lost you earlier where I used the word "unbelievable". :-|
Only if it looks back.

It's not all about numbers.
I always know it's over for something I like when it starts to get stocked on lower and lower shelves. :-(
I have one.

WTF was the topic again?

Or a lawyer wizard! O.O
The most unbelievable thing in that scenario is that Bush is smart enough to pull such a thing off.
Maybe he means it as a code or a metaphor. :-)
But, yeah, the flying saucer men are probably really the flying saucer men.
Free cookie to anyone getting that reference.
That thing is so bad the f is molesting the t out of sheer despair.
Talk is cheap and easy, AC.

Ah, I was just teasin.
Bzzzt! Wrong.
No, it didn't happen, but there is a story/fable/legend where the correct answer is two.
If the next question was "Which of Luke Skywalker's hands did Darth Vader cut off" would he say "Neither, it never happened"?
