On: London Nuke Plant Loses 30 Kilos of Plutonium

if by London you mean Cumbria, a county in the north of England, far far away from London and by Nuke plant, you mean Spent fuel reprocessing plant then you are correct.

On: Ask Microsoft's Martin Taylor About Linux vs. Windows

Martin,

Please help me understand why I'm at work late applying patches to my Windows server enviroment.

We have to do this once per month on Windows servers. The patching isn't the problem the extra tools we bought achieve this very well, albeit at a large cost. It's the memo's meetings and justifications we need to produce each time we want to take a production server down every month. The business just can't believe i need to patch so much. They are getting crazy and are suggesting things like 'using enterprise ready Operating systems' in the enterprise. they want to know how many 9's i can give them. OUr HP-UX team gives them 5(9's) and i just feel a little silly. Please help me understand why I'm still at work at 9pm.

Thanks.

Paul
