Are we sure that GIS is anything, or is it just a bunch of crap?

This is why GIS people shouldn't piss off others.

Computer Stress Diagram
ESRI had a really cool looking graphic on their website. Try as I did, I couldn't directly use it against them, but I could use it as a diagram that explains life as a/an (pick any or all):

UPDATE:
Another software company and business partner to ESRI has claimed (informally) that they "borrowed" the "flower" idea from them. I don't have the impression that the other company (that will go unnamed) is bothered by it, but I just thought that I would add that.

Custom Software Error
I worked for the company that programmed this software, and we had a known error with one of the components that was used in the software. This error came up every time I closed the software. The programmer tried and tried to fix the component, but after seemingly hundreds of tries, he never could.
Nonetheless, I always got this stupid thing that said "report this error to Microsoft", which is either a direct connection to a cyber trashcan or Microsoft's big-brother database of software errors that users are getting. Just what I like to know - Microsoft is spying on us, and not sending these error messages to the programmer and company that produced the software.
Note that the inclusion of this is an example, and I tended to poke fun at the programmer of this software - the inclusion here is against Microsoft, not vTIMAS.
