"When I hear someone say, 'I don't care, just fix it,' my universal translator converts that into, 'I don't know what the problem is, and I don't have the ability to comprehend it anyway; so don't bother trying to explain it. I have money, I have power, I'm the boss.' Although the phrase makes the speaker sound decisive and managerial, it's really just a sham; it means the person saying it has lost touch with the technology that he or she is being paid to implement." -- anonymous, "Off The Record" column, InfoWorld magazine, 2006-07-17 (vol. 28, no. 29), p. 44
