Comment My faviorite "Bidenism" (Score 1) 550

(sort of like "Yogi-isms only not clever or funny, just stupid bullshit)

Right after the stock market crash of 1929, FDR went on television to address the American people. Of course I always wondered what the Secretary of the Navy would talk about on TV, especially since the only person who might have been able to watch it was Philo T. Farnsworth.

Comment Bottled CO2? (Score 1) 468

"And don't forget that bars and pubs force beer through to there pumps using large compressed cylinders of CO2. Does anyone know?"

Where do you suppose bottled CO2 comes from? The same place to which it returns. The air. This looks like an April Fool's post (but you never know). It's really stupid but it's not that funny or clever.

Comment If I wanted to support GM ... (Score 1) 769

... I'd buy one of their dog-shit cars or invest in their dog-shit stock. They haven't made a decent car or sensible strategic business decision in 40 years. It's bad enough my tax $s are supporting this corpse, what happens when the Volt doesn't sell even WITH subsidies? The solution: more incentives to buy GM cars and disincentives to buy the car you REALLY want.

Extinctions are essential in nature and in business, and GM need to become extinct. They're already dead. Why can't everybody see that?

Comment What?!! This is nothing!! (Score 1) 873

"What?!! This is nothing!! This happens all the time! Stop worrying!!"
(Paraphrase of Dustin Hoffman character whenever something goes wrong in "Wag the Dog".)

It will be years before we know what is in this abomination of a bill. 5, 10, 15 years from now you'll be reading about the unmitigated stupidity of it.

But I look at it the same way the politicians do - hopefully, I'll be dead by the time the bill comes due.

Comment Re:Humor? Entertainment? (Score 1) 1654

Yeah a lot of people really have no concept of the context in which they are doing something on a computer. I was helping a female co-worker in another department recently and I asked her something like "Were you trying to do that through Outlook or Internet Explorer?". She slowly turns to me with a blank, wide-eyed expression, raises her hands and says "All I know is, I come to work, I log in and I do my job."

And that's ALL she knows.

Will Motorola Rise From the Ashes? 128

An anonymous reader writes "According to ZDNET the once almighty Motorola is going to split into two companies, 'If the split goes through as planned, what will remain will be the "broadband and mobility solutions" business, which includes enterprise mobility, government and public safety, and Motorola's home and networks divisions.' Engadget claims to have an insider's email that details where it all went wrong, paying particular attention to mismanagement at the highest levels. What makes all of this even more of a shame though is that Motorola's latest product lineup seems to be receiving critical acclaim but with the company in so much termoil, will it ever rise out of the ashes?"
