Comment I remember the last time they tried that (Score 5, Interesting) 72

Around the time they bought EMC to buy Documentum. It was a resounding failure. They tried again a few years later, and also had the same level of failure. This time, well, don't really care now that they made the partner program worthless. Fuck'em. We're selling HPe now.

Comment And in the olden days (Score 1) 147

Was the mainframe. And when the computer was down, your business was down. But computers were expensive, and not every business needed a full computer, so the time sharing companies became a thing, and when their computer was down, your business was down. Everyone had a bad time, so as soon as personal computers became a thing, they became a thing. And the internet happened, and they forget the lessons of the old days and then reinvented it a piece at a time. So we now have the time sharing services that break all the time and take your business down with it.

I think the lesson is to just don't computer.

Comment CSS frameworks are fads (Score 1) 31

They come and go. At some point everyone is laughing at you for choosing the wrong CSS framework. At some point your favorite CSS framework has to be replaced. Granted, your framework is still fine. You will be able to do amazing things if you're still using Blueprint of 960.gs. And while I rag on Tailwind as being Font Tags 2.0, that at least let web designers create pages don't look like that framework where every site using it looks the same.

Comment Re:Considering their Ink & printer business (Score 4, Informative) 89

HPe is servers, networking, enterprise software that manages the servers or the network, and the like.

HP without-the-e is the printers, desktops, calculators, printer ink, and related business practices involving breaking kneecaps for using unapproved ink cartridges.

With that in mind, this is the bad HP.
