this turns out to be a "Ratner" moment, I doubt it will but there's always the hope.

Can someone explain how this is IT news?

Has the TARDIS suddenly appeared on the HP server catalogue?

It's bad enough the Beeb promoting this tripe as news without El Reg doing it for them.

You'll be running items on simply come twadle or whatever it is next ;-)

took, IIRC, $51.6m in the HP takeover?

I seriously hope that he doesn't get his snout in the trough for even more on "retirement" (although I guess he will turn up on a board somewhere else :-( ). Not bad for what? about twelve months as CEO since Jordan departed.

I recently left EDS in the last VR and really feel for my colleagues left back there... the so called corporate leaders all getting fat payouts while the staff that make the revenue get f*ck all.

The bunch of fucktards running the show here are a far bigger threat to this country than Al Qeada could ever be.

good to see healthy competition in the devices of torture market... wouldn't want to product stagnation would we?

reasonable producivity gains the villains

So any law from any dictatorship or covering the a*se of corrupt politicians is OK?

Paris because ........ seems befitting that idea

What was it now "Do no....... ?"
