why not just say what company that is?
- jrockway 11y agoThe OP says "Fortune 5". The candidates are Walmart, Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Berkshire Hathaway, and Apple. Which one of those has super bowl ads and uses Akamai? There's your answer.
- profeta 11y agoand the commenter also says in another thread: "I run an entire data center of Slackware Linux on Dell servers." so, definitely not apple. which leads me to think all that is BS and they just have too much time on their hands.
- aeonflux 11y agoApple using Slackware on Dells would be such a shocker?
- profeta 11y agoi think so. at least a BSD flavour...
- emcrazyone 11y agoNo, I have my own hosting company. It is not related to the Fortune-5 I was speaking of. To clarify, I own an IT consulting company and I have been on contract with the fortune-5. I supply contract heads else where too - H1Bs.
- latch 11y agodoesn't that leave walmart?
- profeta 11y agodid they ever announced on the big league? I never saw them even on yahoo. only cheaper venues.

- emcrazyone 11y agoI own my own company. In fact, I own two companies. One of my customers is a fortune-5. I am contracted and I have a small team that I manage within. If I must explain, I'm a serial entrepreneur. I've owned 3-4 companies in my past including a cable TV company too. It would be more accurate to say I have my hands in many things with not much time on my hands. THe fortune-5 company is an automotive company genius.
- sumedh 11y agoIt wont be Berkshire Hathway for sure, one of its subsidiaries like Gieco
- Glan1984 11y agoOr he mean't fortune 500... Apple is not likely given the other conditions of what he cannot say.
- tikhonj 11y agoSome companies have onerous restrictions on employees using their names in public, but hinting obliquely is fine. It's a matter of not appearing to endorse random, unvetted public posts by employees, not a matter of secrecy.
