Perception of Linux Among IT Undergrads
iconian writes: "The Linux Journal has a story on IT students and their perception of Linux. One of the funnier myths perceived to be true is that 'Microsoft's technical support is the best in the industry and is superior to that offered by the Linux community.' It just goes to show how little real world experience students have. It's a bit disturbing considering they will be the next generation of technology workers."
A Little /. Christmas Cheer!

Maybe not all of them share your vision statement Mike Suzio but you shouldn't insult a whole generation because they don't do the same things you do.
The Linux Journal has a story on IT students... too bad you can't read it because the Linux Journal hired incompetant IT staff.
The difference being the Forbes error was due to oversized data being entered into a char() field in SQL Server, i.e. a user error (showing Forbes's ass) whereas the MySQL error was a system error (showing MySQL/Linux's ass). Your post was a user error (showing your ass).
