   So how come Trump gets all the love/hate instead of Carly?

   TPTB want Carly to go away. Trump, on the other hand, can be useful to the narrative.

   Anyone wanna lay odds on what tomorrow’s PP sting video will reveal?

   I’m saying racism.

   I suspect (without evidence) that the next (or the subsequent tranche of video and transcript to that) will be from inside the vivisection room itself, with the vivisectionist calmly or blithely chatting away on matters unassociated with the dispatching and crushing of the nascent life, shown on an ultrasound display screen before the viewer’s bleeding eyes. That the possibility the victim of this butchery will happen to be a so-called black? Relatively high.

   Greetings:

   Well, being that I still haven’t received any response from Ms. Fiorina about the résumé I sent her expressing my interest in a White House Intern position, I’m thinking maybe I’ll shoot one off to Jess McIntosh to see if I’m the kind of intern she’d like to have working under her.

   Yes, Carly Fiorina impresses with her Fighting-The-Bolshes ability.

   Yes, she talks a darn good conservative game.

   But, let us not forget that she nearly destroyed Hewlett-Packard [I watched it happened as an IT Manager and I still hesitate to recommend purchasing their equipment at work].

    Can we expect your self-denunciation as a sexist pig, Bob?

    More like a pie-plate abattoir than a vivisection room, but there we go.

    At least Emily’s List is honest on how the use the funds raised by them. PP is just another branch of the Democratic machine that pretends to be there for “women’s health”.

    What did she do to Ruin Things?

    Without getting into a long explanation, she put out unreliable [ie: crap] product.

    This CNBC written succinct explanation is a good one:

    A consummate self-promoter, Fiorina was busy pontificating on the lecture circuit and posing for magazine covers while her company floundered. She paid herself handsome bonuses and perks while laying off thousands of employees to cut costs. The merger Fiorina orchestrated with Compaq in 2002 was widely seen as a failure. She was ousted in 2005.

    THE STAT: HP stock lost half its value during Fiorina’s tenure.

    Fiorina presided over the spin-off of all HP’s non-computer business into Agilent. Given HP’s founding and history, this is equivalent to Ford getting out of the car business and focusing solely on financing. Needless to say, the lab equipment and whatnot was still designed and made in America. Post-Agilent, HP was just another packager of cheap-shit Chinese PCs.

    Unsurprisingly, she was also a big proponent of moar H1Bs.

    Like Bob, I’d still vote for her. (She’s around 4-5 on my list.) But at least to engineering types of a certain age, she’s forever tainted by the near-destruction (and certainly much-diminished stature) of one of the Great American Companies.

    We don’t have much HP hardware in my house, except for two printers — one my mother-in-law’s inkjet, the other a laser. I keep waiting for one to go TU so it can be replaced, but they keep ticking.

    I bought my first computer in 2005, a HP Compac with WindowsXP. It lasted until 2009, then I got a HP Presario with Windows 7. Now it’s time for another.

    I think the HP’s were OK, but obviously I’m short on comparisons. The wife just went from a Fire to a Surface, and seems happy. Any suggestions for the $400-$800 range?

    We’ve settled on Toshiba Satellites for Windows machines and I think they’ve tended to be within that range. They seem to last longer than other laptop brands and we quit throwing money away years ago on desktop boxes that keep frying their mobo’s (probably a Southern thang).

    Supposedly Windows 10 gets released into the wild tomorrow; I’ve been using the Insider Preview on mine because it came with 8 despite advertising that said otherwise — but all the others run 7 and we’re happy with that.

    When I research tech purchases I always pay special attention to the bad reviews. If there are several that are consistent and substantive, that’ll tell me more than hundreds that just say “Great!” or “Glad I bought it!” It’s usually pretty easy to spot the petty complaints that spotlight a one-off failure or just a grudge against the brand or the store. Checking the dates on the reviews can also show whether even the substantive complaints seem limited to a particular batch.
