How do they determine that it was the people trying to get an XBox that caused the problem ?
Could it not've been just a lot of shoppers looking for good deals(on other products too) ?
I've had a course by Dr.Mills and he's quite a character.
He fills up his lectures with some amazing anecdotes and somehow manages to link it back to the subject at hand(atleast half the time).
For eg., to illustrate the use of digital signatures, he would relate the story of how he had to get a notary public signature from an old lady to renew his ham radio license.
I wish he'd write a book someday on the History of the Internet and its evolution. He was the first head of the Internet Architecture Board and some of his insights into why things are the way they are make for an excellent understanding of the concepts.
Raul, I'm sure you've heard his stories about "Priests of the East" and "Priests of the West". Have you heard the one about the Mayan calendar ?
I've had some exposure to NTP from him and would like to take a look at it some time..Maybe I'll get a used copy some day.
A coupla drinks, maybe, but pilots speaking on their cellphones while flying??!!
Ohh..I see what the article is about..Now that I've gone past the headline..
A while ago, one of my friends wrote a paper that used the term 'lesser known'. His Professor was of the opinion that it's read as 'less known'.
Any thoughts ?
