The UK has only become more concerned about global warming because its becoming more apparent that they will suffer because of it.
Original, many of those in high places believed "hey.. cool.. with global warming we will have more than the current 6 weeks of sun a year in London. How great for our economy."
By now it seems that what is more likely to happen is a shutting down of the gulf stream" giving London the weather currently experienced in SIBERIA.
Like everything else (including the current US and Australian -- yes... I am Australian -- administrations' denials that that global warming is real), it only becomes an issue when it affects You personally.
Note. I believe that global warming is a real effect. I don't believe that some of the more "Everybody is going to die" scenarios are real, but I am more than willing to say "hey look, we just don't know... so lets just back off a little on our current pumping of crap into the environment so if the doomsdayists turn out to be right, we don't have so much damage to undo, and in the meantime we get cleaner air to breathe".
> Also, watch out for that MBA. A lot of MBAs > spend a lot of time away from their families
Yeah. Working at McDonalds with the CCIEs:)
Seriously. There are about a dozen MBAs in the world which are licences to print money (Harvard business school, etc). I'm doing one of the 10,000 other ones. I'm not doing it to say "I've got an MBA", but actually get the knowledge contained within. This one is actually aimed at IT managers and includes topics such as management of IT and telecommunications infrastructure and project management as well as the standard business stuff.
A quick story: I was at a Veritas presentation this morning where they were discussing their i3 program. On the way back, the current head of infrastucture complained that "technical people" are always aggressive towards software that they think will replace their jobs.
The problem is, that's how he presents the tool. "With this tool I won't need to have you guys spending 4 hours a day reviewing statistics". What he _should_ have said is "this tool will help you spend less time reviewing statistics are more time doing the interesting stuff like the long list of projects I have up on the whiteboard in the office that you've never seen because you are too busy working on the boring stuff".
My point is I know technical people, I see bad management and, other than just complain, I see what they are doing wrong. Its time for me to put my money where my mouth is, and the skills I will pick up in an MBA will help me talk to "general management" and
Maybe a CIO oneday? Dunno... but at least some sort of Infrastruture Manager. Think 5-7 year goal.

I predict that in 10 years, people will be still making "SCO is dying" posts on slashdot... along with the "Apple is dying", "BSD is dying" and "Natalie Portman's careere is dying".
Having said that, I've just enrolled in an MBA to stop my job becoming redundant. Sure, its great to be flexible, but you get to a point where you don't want to spend 70-100 hours a week in order to stay on top of things.
I am not going to be the sort of father who never sees his kids. The best job and biggest house aint worth nuts if your never see those things that count. IE.. family.
(and yes, I was a die hard capitialist who has been "reborn" into the "what's important is the simpler things in life" school of thought. The old axiom is true... you simply can't take it with you.)
But there are always exceptions. What an ISP uses between ASs under its control are nobody's business but there.
Naturally, that depends on what scope you are using for the term "AS". We'll wait for an expert to correct me, but if, for example, an ISP uses OSPF as their interior routing protocol, they are in one BGP AS, but a large number of OSPF ASs.
Its also not inconceivable that a couple of ISPs with a business relationship might do funny things, tho BGP "metrics" consider such funny things as business relationships.
Slashdot Mirror
First word that came into my mind was "bukkake".
TGIF.

So, fine for porn then.

Or when movies start at Part IV.

In Spanish the word is "culo".
Just install a funnel in the top that fills the Budweiser bottle inside.

Sorry, I panicked.

I've heard there's a Matrix 0 in the works.
Why else were there 6 Neos before the Keanu Neo if each one doesn't deserve his (or her) own movie?
The real kick will be when we discover that Moses, Jesus and Mohammaed are Neos 3,4 and 5.
That's only because "7 1/2 inches" sounds a lot more impressive than "11.4 cm"
Oh... wait.
Yep.

Look. 30s is not "old".
I don't care what age you are. 30 is not old.

Depends
In general, yes.
But there are always exceptions. What an ISP uses between ASs under its control are nobody's business but there.

Which, according to some FBI stats that's I'm too lazy to google for, accounts for about 20% of attacks.
