He's bad and he's back!
The Bastard Operator from Hell has salespeople and users in his sights as he tells us how it is in the Real World. He is the perfect antidote to all those networking problems.
BOFH's dodo guide
Once they seemed irreplaceable, but now they are the dead technologies of our time. So, dammit, we need to know: whatever happened to...?
Whatever happened to: ATM25?
ATM25 promised so much. A dedicated throughput of 25Mbit/s plus the ability to define quality of service. Trouble is: no-one else bought into IBM's vision.
Management Translator
Baffled by buzzwords? Flummoxed by flannel? Mesmerised by marketers? The Techworld Management Translator takes a choice example of marketing speak and translates to what they really mean.
| They said WHAT? "Microsoft has unveiled the newest version of its industry-leading legacy platform interoperability solution, Host Integration Server (HIS) 2004, part of Microsoft Windows Server System. With HIS 2004, enterprises can integrate their existing IBM mainframe and midrange systems with new Windows-based solutions, enabling customers to use and extend their host assets at a significantly lower cost. HIS 2004 includes newly developed Transaction Integrator (TI) design tools that run in the context of the Visual Studio .NET 2003 integrated development environment (IDE). The TI tools enable Windows developers to wrap existing host line-of-business (LOB) applications as XML Web services or Microsoft .NET server components that are usable in a service-oriented architecture (SOA) solution." From a Microsoft press release. |  | Translation: "There's an IBM mainframe market out there that Microsoft is excluded from. If we throw enough buzzwords together, then we might get people buying it." |
