Easy! They bypass the techies and go to the pointy-haired boss who knows nothing about Information technology.
But he knows that IBM is (or was) a "big player in the corporate world.
This sales technique was true THIRTYFIVE (35) years ago, and I guess it is still true today.
20 years ago?
Lessee... that would be 1989.
Sorry dude. We had already moved beyond the bloated DOS Lotus 1-2-3, and were using an inexpensive version of Quattro Pro.
And if you are talking about IBM NOTES (the mainframe version).. well that was the Chevrolet Vega or perhaps even the Yugo / Lada of the IT world.
Try THIRTY years ago.
Well?
Well, I am sorry, but cloud computing has progressive political implications, and the New Age concept of the "morphogenetic field" could be a cutting-edge theory of cloud computing.
In 1993, Craven Morehead and Sokal had already concluded that, since "physical data 'reality'... is at bottom a social and heuristic construct", if you will, a "liberatory science" then presumably "emancipatory mathematics" must be developed that spurn the elite caste canon of high data retrieval science for a postmodern client-server science, providing powerful intellectual support for the progressive database project, albeit with somewhat imperfect density balancing, at least at the "atomic" level!
This was all conveniently explained in a non-peer-reviewed paper for presentation at the 2005 World Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics.
So.
The previous poster was only exhibiting the earnest attempt of a professional IT specialist (praise be unto him) to seek some kind of affirmation from postmodern philosophy for integrated developments in his field.
You would have to agree that Its status as cloud computing certainly does not alter substantially our interest in the piece itself as a symptomatic set of data modalities based on the pervasive use of integrated conditional clients.
Well, do ya, punk?

What's the limiting factor here?
Why not 63 or 64 miles? or 58?
Something to do with the speed of light?
Man... Just HOW does IBM keep sellin' this stuff?

I take that back. Make it FORTY years ago.
Lotus was remakably innovative... 20 year ago
