The Reg is sick of ‘em, too!
Sick of whiny lusers, that is. Then again, this is The Register, whose most quotable feature is BOFH (Bastard Operator From Hell), that we’re talking about.
The bit in question is an opinion piece entitled “Clueless user: ditch the victim mentality“, which rebuts an earlier column in the WSJ blaming admins and vendors for the myriad unpatched holes of the world. (Quick summary: We’ve told you about all this and you didn’t listen. Now you’re having problems. Tough knickers.)
It’s very tempting to send this to people. However, they already gripe that I “talk down” to them (their words). [Hey! Users! Maybe if you'd pay some fucking attention the first time, I wouldn't HAVE to describe the computer as "the place where the CDs go, not the big glowy thing in front of you".]
