"find some adults"

Please...H-P has accumulated this pathetic group of officers,
lawyers, directors, "non-executive" directors, "ethics" personnel,
and investigator/employees...
break it up, and sell the parts to some adults with REAL business
backgrounds and qualifications...instead of leaving it with these
children who only play at being adults.

I'd Be Bitter Too

I'd be bitter too if I only received $42 million in cash, stock, and other benefits as severance as Carly did. Heck, $42 mill doesn't go very far these days, what with the high cost of housing, healthcare, and such. I mean, you can't even get decent priced Guatemalan maids anymore.

That's the place in the middle of the desert where the Chinese Army has constructed a scale-model replica of the entire region of Aksai Chin (occupied by China since the 1962 war with India). At 1:500, it's still 700 by 900 meters big ( = several football fields). Next to it is a base with dozens of troop transporters seen coming and going. The duplicate shows everything: rivers, lakes, roads and snow-capped mountains. It's basically a landscape within a landscape.

The problem is that nobody has been able to figure out the function of this thing. The world's biggest miniature golf course, perhaps? China's own Area 51? That's why it's the subject of so much discussion in the blogosphere. The discoverer even had to set up his own blog: foundinchina.blogspot.com

Any ideas?
