The linux infestation starts in Russian youth!
<bad, you should see nylxs' list.)>>
Sunny, you jump into a thread and hijack it in an admitted drunken stupper and then fein victemhood. And this this not the first time you've done this, although normally your not so drunk, and nor am I the first victem. Nor would I be the last victem. People come to me in private trying to get insight into your wackyness, complaining about some abuse you've whipped out on them like I have some influence.
<change of direction.>>
Your still not listening which is your classic problem. I'm not faulting you for change to business school, which I think is actually a sound move. I'm faulting you for being a jerk and pointing out the irony of your remarks.
But as long as you continue to support my points, as twisted and funny as it is, I should enjoy the abuse you pour on me.
<all of us business majors are taught about Linux and the business advantages
that come with it.>>
This is your second classic error. Everything you discover has never been discovered before and nobody else can ever had the experience you have.
for the record, I doubt there is much about what business school can provide which I haven't learned in my support of Stern Business School, in my inquiries and studying to get an MBA, or in working with my 4 teen-agers on the college careers.
<has become. How using the right technology can give you quite the edge in
the market. (Amazon, Dell, Walmart all come greatly to mind.) In a
sophomore level MIS class we are taught about what Linux is, what open source
is, and why using such software can be greatly beneficial to one's operations
and bottom line. In a junior level Innovations Management class we explore
how the open source development model has changed everything about innovation
and design. (One of my junior projects was an entire exploration of how
commercial companies engage with an un-paid community to develop products,
namely distros like Redhat, Mandriva, and SUSE.) And finally in a senior
level e-business class we evaluated how companies go about selecting massive
software platforms and obviously open source was discussed. (One of my final
senior projects had an entire section about E-Trade's switching over to open
source and how it benefited the company as a whole.)
We're taught about things you'd read on groklaw. And in my case I've always
gotten good remarks on my ability to factor in open source from a managerial
perspective even when it was clearly above the professor's head.
But of course, Ruben never bothered to ask.>>
If we never sat for a minute to discuss anything its because of the bluster and howling that you do, not because of any lack of interest on my part.
<< After all, what the hell do us
future PHB's know ? Aren't we the dumbest things ever who buy buy buy
needless copies of Vista and Oracle ? And in my case, what the hell do I
know ? Clearly the years of homegrown IT skills I have are learned with a
passion are nothing compared to someone who holds an \"IT degree\".>>
