droid_rage's Journal: Windows Admins...

Microsoft-based sysadmins are the single most under-knowledgeable, over-egoed bunch of wankers in the known world. Outside of Union pipe-fitters. Actually, any union worker who makes $60k a year to smoke weed and do a job that a kid in Junior High could do (which actually describes quite a few admins pretty well too, except for the Union part...) generally falls into that group.
The way I see it, sysadmins either don't go to college, or they get some useless degree like Botany or Management Information Systems ("Let's learn how to do a cost-benefit analysis" As if they'd ever make management!). Rather than get a useful degree like CS or EE so they could be designing networks or, better yet, the new network protocols, they merely shop around for a 14-day MCSE course and get a job as a certified sysadmin for $50,000 a year. Yay.
What's really dangerous is when some of these sysadmins decide that they're smarter than they are, get together with "Learn to program C++ in 21 days" and a few RFCs, and create their own new security protocol. I'm convinced that this is how WEP came into being.
