Why PHBs Fear Linux

Posted by michael on from the if-windows-is-the-answer-you're-asking-the-wrong-question dept.

Tin Foil Hat writes "Paul Murphy over at LinuxInsider examines the role IT text books play in business school curriculums and the misconceptions and misinformation that they present to students. If you've ever wondered why your PHB just doesn't get it when it comes to UNIX and Linux, this article is for you."

  1. What goes in a PHBs mind by SlashingComments · · Score: 3, Troll
    Yes I am a PHB.

    Let me share some thoughts

    1. PHBs dont' give a damm about linux/windows/apple.

    2. PHBs tend to have little more going through their head like getting the payroll running for the next month which pays for your cool toys

    3. PHBs understand very well how to play with your psychology and depress you or make you happy like a little puppet.

    So, think twice.

    Have you ever worked in any IT-related position in your life? If not, please be polite and STFU. You don't know what you are talking about.

    Interesting article, wasn't it.

    Each point you've so beautifully organized (public speaking classes, was it?) is loaded with incorrect, inflammatory, and pompous presuppositions.


    Come to work shaved, showered and neatly dressed

    Aside from revealing utter stupidity for both mentioning and perpetuating this was-funny-about-1997 cliche, it's insulting, for no reason.

    Actually, you are just a troll, and not a very good one at that.
