Seven MORE dirty words



According to Infoworld.com's Editor Steve Fox George Carlin's not the only one with a seven dirty words list. However I can say that Carlin's were a little funnier in a juvenile "he said a dirty word" sort of way. Fox says these words are Brittle, One-off (really more of a phrase despite the hyphen,) Legacy, Opaque, Propriatary, Churn and Silo. Pretty funny article...and also pretty accurate I mean how many of us with IT jobs HAVEN'T heard these words in reference to our own systems? How many vendors have spat out the phrase "Well, with your legacys systems running proprietary software you're opening your network up to tons of problems." I guess the sales people better start looking for some new inside jokes after this guy outed them.
