    Sexual harassment... Panda.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Re: News - HP CEO resigns following sexual harassment investigation

    HP stressed there had been no violation of its sexual harassment policy, which presumably frowns on such activity
    Yep, I'll back that up - the mandatory Code of Business Conduct certification training makes it pretty obvious that harassment is treated very seriously and punished harshly. In fact, the CBC is pretty clear on all the things you're not supposed to do - and I can respect it.

    At the risk of leaping to MH's defence, it's pretty well accepted that the 3rd party investigating the harassment claim found no evidence - so it's one parties word against the other.

    What does stick in my craw is that despite being found "guilty" of two CBC violations, ([badly] wrong expenses, plus misuse of company assets), not only does Mr Hurd walk away with pension etc intact, but also with a pretty sweet payoff - US$50m has been quoted. If it'd been me or any of us other "low life techies" then you can bet that we'd be escorted out of the door by security wi' nowt more than the clothes on our backs.

    Don't think many will be sad to see MH go, (especially those who's jobs are on the line for this years redundancy sessions), hopefully they'll get someone good to replace him.

    Career status: still enjoying my new career in DevOps, but it's keeping me busy...
