  1. Re:Thinkpad line on Lenovo To Buy IBM's Server Business For $2.3 Billion · · Score: 5, Insightful

    A public consumer buying a laptop is one thing, but I can imagine certain blue chip institutions (banks for example) will be slightly less interested in buying servers from Lenovo as opposed to HP. I have some IBM servers on order right now and there isn't usually a lot in it when deciding whether HP or IBM is better for my use case. If it was Lenovo or HP, that decision would probably only go HPs way.

    Getting close to half that with my iphone 4S. I doubt I'll need to change over the next year and a half at least so that only short by 1 year on that.

    You are arguing against a valid point and I'd like to know why. We are forever brainwashed with what makes any minority group of your choice special, protected and in need of expanding. If anyone tries to defend the rights of white males in such a way it's automatically treated as patriarchy or racism. Why the bigotry? What are you going to do when white men are the most oppressed group? It's already starting.

    Don't be a deliberate fucking moron. If there are more women in tech then there are less men. And speaking of prison sentences, for the same crime, who does more time? A white woman or a white man? Fuck off with your retarded gender bias.

    Harvard University is 49% male, and 51% female.

    There are more women than men at Harvard. How does your point defeat the GPs point? Surely based on your logic we should see more female high-flying drop-outs than men, right?

    They might adopt a strict work-to-rule regime where workers do absolutely nothing that is not by-the-book

    As any Londoner knows, adopting a strict work-to-rule regime would be a massive improvement. They do plenty of stuff that is not by-the-book, like drinking and smoking weed during breaks etc. I saw one of the cleaning conractors kicking a plastic bottle down a flight of stairs and which then hit some woman coming round a corner. He didn't want to or maybe didn't know how to say sorry.

    Using computers and touch screens because they are new and fancy is stupid when a pen and paper will do.

    Absolutely. I went to Chinese restaurant in London the other night and asked to see the menu. The waitress tried two iPad 'menus' which both had dead batteries before giving me a beautifully bound colour-printed paper menu. After a few minutes of me studying the delicious goodies, she game back and took the menu out my hand and replaced it with an ipad. "It's like a menu only high-tech", she said.
