The 2005 IT Year In Quotes

PCM2 writes "InfoWorld is carrying a news story that sums up the year in quotes from IT executives. Lots of fun stuff to be had here, including former WorldCom CEO Bernie Ebbers: 'I know what I don't know, and to this day I don't know technology and I don't know accounting and finance.' Also: 'We have so many rivals it's frightening. The week after next I will meet Bill Gates and Steve Jobs and I will [shake hands and]look down and see if I still have a hand.' - Sony's Stringer"

Popups??

WTF?

I just submitted a comment (as AC) and got a popup. (Well, I would have were it not for Firefox's popup blocker.)

For shame, Slashdot.

Mods? What Mods?

Where are the mods when you need 'em. There aren't very many posts here, it looks like most people are out having a good time on a Friday nite. Cheers to y'all! =_)

What the hell is this?

Modded down because of a typo? This is Slashdot for crying out loud, it's not like you have never been exposed to typos before. And you certainly know WHO actually said that famous bury-quote.

Oh well, now when I've been modded down, I can see someone else here posted that Sony quote 10 minutes later and was modded insightful. Sigh.

Re:The 3 words that Slashdot dreads: "I Digg it."

[saskboy]

It's not flamebait, the moderators apparently are unaware of a competitor tech news collection site called Digg.com where users can click on a link to "digg" the story and thus rate it higher. Trolls frequently refer to a story as appearing on Digg days before Slashdot, so Slashdot might have its reputation as the leading tech news site in jeopardy, and thus should "fear" this new tech related quote of 2005.
