That intro from Full Metal Jacket is fantastic. Anyway this post makes me remember the confusion inside people minds that IT marketing managers are causing. Today new concepts are resembled by older ones. We don’t have ACM? Lets introduce ECMACM and say that is ACM, … whatever.
Thank you for stopping snake oil selling.
