Another company eats its own buzzwords and kills over tons more jobs.

The French or Japanese trains are electric which means they don't carry their own fuel. A jet powered train has to carry a huge amount of jet fuel just like a diesel engine or a coaler. Which is practical only where fuel is very cheap and you have a large capacity storage tank AND there's no electrified option.

IBM is a hedge fund run by pirates. All Ginni does is look at which companies to buy and which divisions to sell like an investment portfolio. And when they're lucky they manage not to ruin their acquisition in 2 years. Either way they sell it off again and find someone new to kill. In the meantime they a few thousand employees, offshore some more work to Asia and pay the executives ever more absurd compensation.

For $3 billion dollars Ginni will see maybe an increase in Apple's presence in the corporate space from 1% to 3%. Apple will continue to do whatever the fuck they like whether it's compatible with IBM apps or not. And because the core of their business is still consumer sales, if that conflicts with The Diktat from On High IBM Grand Plan, they won't care.

Meanwhile IBM will become even more top heavy with hundreds of new directors and VP's who's job it is is to grind out huge spreadsheets tallying the metrics to report on the reporting of the status of their status reporting reporting. According to Roadkill 2015, in order for Ginni to make her EPS promises she'll have to fire 100% of US employment except for the executives. So good luck getting their new Apple partnership off the ground from India.

The costs of attempting to BE compliant to these vague horrible laws is far higher than the cost of losing control over something. This is why HIPAA is a huge waste of time and effort. It costs millions to 'comply' with the law but the downside is near zero because, and this is important

YOU HAVE TO PROVE INTENT

So any law is going to be ineffectual on its face when it looks only at intent. And specifically, the intent to profit from it. Target didn't intend to break something. They goofed up. So the law doesn't really cover mistakes. If Target was part of this vast scheme to rob people that's a different matter.

The sparks will fly but first they will need to have a regular status meeting to determine the color of said sparks.

And reincorporate overseas. Thanks, Obama.

Because using their cell towers as cell towers is pretty much a complete fucking waste of time. (yes I know cell towers are owned and operated by 3rd parties)

For true equality we need collectivization, or genocide, whichever comes first.

Sounds good. To Malaysia and Beyond!

All Hail

It's not voodoo. It's science. When you stop doing what works, bad things happen again.

We live in a new era where quality is shit and no one cares. Fuck it.

It's just more COP-RULES where everything everyone does everywhere at all times is HyperMegaSuperFelony where you run the risk of exterminating all life on earth if you're not arrested and given a trillion dollar bail. Jeez don't you follow the news? Can't even FILM cops w/o the Antarctic Ice Sheet falling the fuck off and drowning 1 million babies.

So it's all good.

No no not the CHIPS - the foundries which make them. A Korean chipfab or Intel for that matter, will invest more than a BILLION dollars a year in the manufacturing process just to keep current. IBM does not. This results in much higher costs per unit and a much higher reject rate.
