No, I've never heard of them because I don't give a shit about a company just because they're Fortune 500, nor that they're owned by any specific company. I didn't call them no-name; I said I'd never heard of them, and that no one probably even cared about them anyway. There's a difference.
which includes IT heavyweights EDS, Oracle, Cisco, Microsoft, Sun, Dell and EMC. EDS: Some company I've never heard of, but am quite sure noone gives a shit about. Oracle: That company that has that database that is getting beat by that...mySQL...thing, you know, that's...not scalable and all. Cisco: The people that haven't meant shit since the '90s! Microsoft:. Sun: One word: Solaris. Dell: They sell Windows PCs, what do you expect? EMC: Some other company I've never heard of that I'm sure noone has cared about since the mid-80s or so.
SBC Yahoo! is doing $19/month for two years of speeds that I'm not sure of (I know it's rated as a 1mbit or so, from CNet's bandwidth tester, and ~ 50kb/s up)
is that the article says, "The amount of material listed as missing at the Sellafield plant in northwestern England was "within international standards of expected measurement accuracies for closing a nuclear material balance at the type of facility concerned," the authority said." What the fuck? I don't think any should be allowed to be missing without MAJOR alarms going off and people freaking the fuck out. That shit's controlled by the IAEA for a reason.
The problem with servicing the Hubble is that Congress is fucking retarded--they'll get rid of Hubble, saving a tiny bit of money, and then 5 years down the road they'll build another one, for 100x the cost it would've been to just service the Hubble in the first place.
