Comment if you think my karma was bad before (Score 5, Funny) 161

Today, I went to the EMC/VMware event in Baltimore. me, twentysome 50-60 year old C-levels, no technical information that could be gleaned, but a bunch of salivating million dollar budgets. I asked the engineer-presenter about his replication's bandwidth demands, he was not prepared to answer... the C-level guys asked questions like "what color is the box it comes in?" want to sound like a CIO? forget everything you know about object oriented programming, IPv6, and OSPF and Linux,, and mimic a sales-evangelist from EMC.

Comment Re:Cost of nuclear power (Score -1) 218

While I am neither For or Against nuclear power, I would think that the cost of regulation and maintenance should be figured into EROEI numbers. Someone was giving me their insights on how prices of Exxon Mobil were going to drop because of the discovery of a big shale field and i had to explain eroei to them and how natural gas is nice but it will not replace oil. I mean the next response would sensibly describe events surrounding the deepwater disaster in the Gulf and for that, I would have to say their numbers should be figured as well.
