Now CEO Apotheker’s plan for HP’s growth is selling ERP software from a third-tier competitor. ERP (enterprise resource planning) applications like SAP and Oracle are viewed today as the remarkably expensive, hard to install, hard to maintain, hard to modify, monolithic, bureaucracy creating, innovation killing systems they were designed to be. ERP applications were created to force companies, functions and employees to replicate previous decisions, in the hopes of increasing control (especially financial control) and cutting operating cost. Not to learn, or do anything new. They were designed to create rigidity, and are completely unable to enhance flexibility, market responsiveness and growth. ERP was the emerging high-tech “solution” in 1992!

Fuck businessmen!

All those enterprise buzz words are making my skin itch. And the author makes it sound as if he was the God of business and planning, which undoubtedly isn't true. Besides, all that Apple cocksocking is disgusting.

Are you saying english in UTF8 is more optimized? I don't think so. You have 8bit characters, indeed, but you need like 10x more to make a coherent phrase.
