> ... and 22 year old CEOs use buzz terms like scalable, robust and enterprise but there is no meat to anything .... A peeve: More than once recently I've seen articles indicating that words like these are meaningless. I beg to differ. For the record: "Scalable" describes things that work well when dealing with increasingly large problems. "Robust" means it can take anything you throw at it, without breaking. "Enterprise" means for a business, particularly a sizable one. These are all meaningful, useful words, and the fact that some people misuse them, does not change that. (OTOH, I must admit that, when I hear the phrase "enterprise computing", my brain automatically translates it to "I'm trying to rip you off", but maybe my brain just needs rewiring.)
