I especially liked the part where his boss told him to write a letter about what he does at work. He gives up and turns in a letter that says his job "basically consists of masking his contempt for the assholes in charge" and that he "slips into the men's room" at least twice a day to pleasure himself while fantasizing about a life [00:09] IsambardPrince that doesn't so "closely resemble hell", and then he mouths those words while his boss reads them and gives the boss a little smile.

[15:09] schestowitz[TR2] The one thing this article doesnt account for is the new strategy AK is following. When AK became CEO, he prioritized enterprise at all costs and gave up on everything else (eg the scale out opportunities). Why is that important? Enterprise installs tend to move very very cautiously which plays into IBMs favor. YES IBM absolutely missed cloud, the rise and stickiness of Intel HW, and the prioritizing of LINUX SW [15:09] schestowitz[TR2] on Intel, but they learned from that and modified their mainframe and big power users offerings to lock those customers in, before they could slip away. So what was AKs big realization? Embrace the monopoly IBM had in Enterprise (mainframe and big power) and abandon everything else as it had already slipped away. If you look at IBM today, thats exactly what IBM has done, and continues to do. Every purchase they make embraces [15:09] schestowitz[TR2] enterprise, and every spin off relates to a commodity offering that IBM isnt competitive in anymore. The net of this is IBM abandoned approx 85% of their install base (scale out) which represented approximately 50% of their traditional revenue, BUT more importantly they locked in 15% of their install base which represents approximately 50% of their traditional revenue. It was a very smart strategy given they were circling the [15:09] schestowitz[TR2] drain. Exploit your monopoly, and abandon your commodity.

[22:15] IsambardPrince People never cease to amaze me with their little quirks. I recall the time I was at Walmart while mom was married to Gonad, and she was not happy about the price of Listerine. I said, "Just get the Equate version, it's exactly the same." She said, "He says he wants Listerine because the store brand doesn't burn as much and that's how you know it's working." I said, "He can't taste anything because he smokes so much. He doesn't go to [22:15] IsambardPrince the dentist for thirty years until you nag him, then they have to see him four times to get all the crap off his teeth, and he thought he spat out part of a tooth but it was just some more stuff that fell off...and he's worried if he gets store brand mouth wash? Hey. Do you still have the empty bottle of Listerine? Just pour the store brand in that." He never noticed. She kept doing that. It was the same Listerine bottle for 6 years [22:15] IsambardPrince until they got divorced. [22:17] *x-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@h5zkbfemmwig6.irc) has joined #techrights [22:17] MinceR :) [22:18] MinceR they could make a version that burns even more and call it Blisterine [22:19] IsambardPrince MinceR, I just want to know why a person who waits to go get a cleaning for 30 years until the dentist needs four visits and a jackhammer to get all the tartar and mineral deposits off their teeth has a mouth wash preference. [22:21] IsambardPrince Dental health is strongly related to health in general. When you start getting infected teeth and gums, the infection can easily spread elsewhere. This can cause stroke and heart attack even. [22:22] IsambardPrince My favorite Gonad's Family story is his son Michael, the one that's always in prison and getting ready to go in again. [22:22] IsambardPrince He had a rotting tooth, so my mom gave him her dental appointment and offered to pay the bill. [22:22] IsambardPrince He skipped it and said it was fine because he crushed Tylenol and stuck them in the tooth. [22:24] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], I'm so glad I got this external SSD and got rid of that old hard disk. [22:25] IsambardPrince Waiting for it to spin up and list the files was....annoying.

[23:14] IsambardPrince I'm sure that if the plot involved a 17 year old girl then there would have been the torch and pitchfork society out to burn the theaters down. [23:17] IsambardPrince MinceR, I loved Galaxy Quest. No matter how many times I watch it I laugh so hard I cry. [23:18] IsambardPrince Especially the scene where they try to beam up the "pig lizard" to see if the transporter is working properly. [23:18] MinceR :) [23:19] IsambardPrince It's so much better than almost all of the Star Trek movies because Star Trek was always at its best when it wsn't taking itself seriously. [23:19] IsambardPrince I think out of all the Star Trek movies, the only "great" one is still First Contact. [23:22] IsambardPrince It seems to be a recurring theme in good Sci Fi that advanced aliens that are losing a war turn to humans for advice. That came up several times in SG-1 even, and in fact one of the groups of aliens were humans that grew so advanced that they became unable to think strategically. [23:22] IsambardPrince You see that going on in the real world. [23:22] IsambardPrince With no struggle, people become less. [23:22] IsambardPrince There's some gadget to cater to every whim but they don't know how to do anything for themselves. [23:24] IsambardPrince It takes very little to outsmart most people these days because they have little self-awareness. [23:24] IsambardPrince That's not to say they're not greedy, stupid, or even violent. [23:24] IsambardPrince But they're so unrefined and reckless it's easy to anticipate what they do next.
