Discussion on: The greatest CIO threat of all time: Women and chocolate http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/cio/the-greatest-cio-threat-of-all-time-women-and-chocolate/ A proportional mix of news and wit for the midmarket Fri, 05 Sep 2008 13:21:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=wordpress-mu-1.2.1 By: Pengie55 http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/cio/the-greatest-cio-threat-of-all-time-women-and-chocolate/#comment-10 Pengie55 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 17:27:09 +0000 http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/cio/the-greatest-cio-threat-of-all-time-women-and-chocolate/#comment-10 Okay - perhaps you weren't the bright bulb who decided to investigate the topic, but why you found it necessary to report this is beyond me. I found your post offensive and definitely not funny. I realize that your blog is all about irreverence and wit. However, you are perpetuating an issue that just won’t get better until real men stand up and say enough. It's this type of good ole' boy attitude that has made it difficult for women in IT in their struggle beyond ridiculous bias and the glass ceiling. If your wife / girlfriend / mother or sister had to cope with this kind of BS on the job, would you think it still so very clever? I would hope that if the report had reported these findings with a race or religious minority, you would have found it distasteful and overlooked the opportunity. Suggest you all grow up and remember this is not high school, but the business world.

Oh! Henry, Please, do stop...... It is difficult enough for all of us to get any respect as it is but now---well, Mary Jane takes another hit..... (oops, that's just candy) I was not amused!!!! Oh!

A regular Symphony of..oh, Whatchamacallit, puns. I thought I would need to Take5 with the statistical Whoppers. I have heard of honey pots, but this is a real Pot of Gold story. It's apparent that with a little chocolate, a would be thief could hit Payday. Some might say the story was a (Milk) Dud, but I think this only Krackel's the surface of the security threat posed by Cacao Reserve. Ahh Brian really Skor’d with this one.
