Get the information zombie mug.Telling a lie to another party via your lawyer, and their's, so that now the other party believes it. Whereas they wouldn't have believed it directly from you.

Get the information laundering mug.basically the same as computer. only difference is that they have a life. computer scinece people tend to be tooo nerdy and psychotic.
Pete, the pimp and an IS major, manages a campuswide network during the day, and then runs an escort service for hookers at night, while driving a c55 amg (mercedes). In the meantime, the cs major will sit behind his dull-glowing screen at home and talk to other pathetic code-typing weirdos.

Get the information systems mug.The person that finds all your information when working in a group project so that you or/and the other members can create the actual presentation.
Hey Bill, lets make a rap for this here history project. But lets make sure we get Jenna in our group this time. She can be our information gatherer, since last time our video academically sucked balls.

Get the information sponge mug.The major for people that aren't smart enough to handle computer science.
Typically involving idiots that want to work for a large company, sit in a cubicle, and work for people that don't typically understand a thing about computers (other than the fact that they can look at pr0n with them).
This is usually ok as a typical IS major is only a notch or two above their computer illiterate coworkers.
Typical IS tasks: Helping their boss figure out how to change the font on their word document, creating a 'database' using an Excel spreadsheet, helping their boss erase the lemonparty.com history item off their workstation.
While not all IS majors are bad or stupid people, the sad truth is that the bad and stupid ones often end up in charge of actual computer scientists because they 'know tech'

I wanted to work in computers but all that math, science, and actually understanding shit was too hard, so I went into Information Systems.

Get the Information Systems mug.Hiding or depriving individuals or groups of people of facts to keep them ignorant and powerless. Individuals and organizations do that to protect themselves, to monopolize power, or to more easily take advantage of others.
I think it's safe to say that at some point and to varying degrees everybody practices information deprivation against those they interact with in order to trick them.
