Really? I've met lots of them. Install some weirdo Linux distro on an obsolete PC at home and anoint yourself "unix person". Install MySQL from the RPM, create three tables, and call yourself a "DBA". Throw some hideous PHP pages on the front of those three tables [devoid of anything resembling security] and your a "Web Developer". With all those lofty monikers that person won't hesitate for a minute to launch into diatribes about network security, server scalability, or application development paradigms; and with a level of self-assurance that will make you want to stick your head in an oven. > Let's see..... name 10 things easier than an Informix install.... > An Oracle install? Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha..... Obbie slap me!
