Is the rigid routing a side-effect of their own switch technology? I haven't lived in the UK for a decade, so am not sure if BT still make their own switches (System X?).
Yet the BBC story refers to "130,000 homes and businesses" which insinuates just land lines.
In fact, the more I read...the more it sounds like a single exchange/central office that's down...which is similar to what happened here in downtown Toronto a few years back and was fixed in about a day or so. (Major fire at a CO).
Guardian bunker runined, and only 130,000 lines out of service? Or are these trunks not "lines"? (Line has a number attached to it, trunk carries calls).
"but I worry I will end up working construction or plumbing"...
Hell, you'd make a damn good living as a plumber and maybe it's the change you need. See here.

Microsoft were using SQL Server 2000 to track code changes and other information tidbits....the server running this went tits-up over the weekend and the recovery features of SQL Server weren't up to scratch;-)

For $1000 you should be able to improvise a small hydroponic operation....focus the money on the lights....you can even just use compact fluorescents for the mother plants for cloning, and keep the HIDs for flowering time.
You can probably turn $5000-10000 profit over the summer (~90 days).
....the rover has apparently also found an empty Coke can and a potato chip packet. NASA officials are keeping tight-lipped about these findings, only saying that these don't necessarily prove signs of 'intelligent' life on Mars.

Thanks for the insight!

I wonder if I launch "questionable goods", whether or not my Paypal account will be suspended and funds held indefinitely.... ;-)

Yeah, I should have thought of that before posting....you're right, pipelines and train tracks often do power telecoms ;-)

And, again: it doesn't make a PRNG *more secure*....it merely makes the chance of guessing the starting point harder.

Oh c'mon, this was a JOKE!
You know the drill ;-)

Ummm...no, you really don't!!! Especially if it were to happen to hit in a residential area.

So you're advocating taking a truly random number scheme and using that as the seed for a non-truly random number generator.
Good one, Einstein! Using truly random numbers for a traditional RNG does NOT make the output more random.

I applaud the Mozilla project on many levels...but is there really that much revenue from "merchandizing" that they need to do this?
I say, leave the "pirates" in place for adveritizing purposes and concentrate on getting grants and corporate sponsorship!

This is how I financed my college education.

Good luck.

LMAO! I was about to do a similar post ;-)
Here in India, we are not having any layoffs! We are getting fat cat American job by dozen!
So move here. We give you free vindaloo on arrival.
