Hire John Carmack to do the job. He's into rocketry so he gets to learn more about the whole thing, you get a kickass system, and he may even do it for free.
The guy's so good he may do a better job than a bloated team of 400 contractors.
I'm not sure if anybody else noticed this, but if you happened to visit payments.networksolutions.com during the downtime and entered slashdot.org's status, it said $70 was due. I should have taken a screenshot while I could...

It's a darn shame, since it was one of the most interesting Internet magazines around. I was thinking about subscribing to it, since getting it around here was rather hard, and then boom, it was gone:(

A whole subculture grew there, making comments about what was discussed on the site, and much more. That was the first message board that caught my eye (before Slashdot), and both the topics and the board itself were before its time.
That didn't survive, either, but they have a site at www.newstrolls.com. John even used to write articles for them sometimes.

And let's not forget Governor of Californya too. What a guy, indeed.
You mean like this one? (link NSFW)
No problem. Then you just need to mount them on a Segway. Problem solved.
After a long day of chasing those evil, evil software pirates, what do you guys do for fun? Sports, movies, videogames, Hunting for Bambi?
