Cosmic flashbulb effect caused by 'black-hole invaders'

The real answer is in the article ....

"GRBs, originally noted by US military spy sats looking for evidence of surreptitious commie nuke tests"

and then a dude named Kommissarov spins some mumbo jumbo about invasive black holes.

Coincidence? Methinks not. It was the commies all along!

I've had curries worse than that

or as someone said on Fark: "Taco Bell suing for patent infringement"

Has IBM grown a new Lotus?

@Phil Rigby - thanks for reading my mind then posting it

;-)

seriously - pretty much everything Phil said, I'll say too.

I've been a Notes dev for so long I've almost forgotten what it's like in the big scary Exchange world. But I've been on the periphery of enough migrations to know that Domino is a NICE platform to work on compared to many alternatives once you get used to its' quirks.

We've got one customer at the moment in the early phases of getting a migration underway. They're going to triple the number of servers to get the same service out of Exchange as they have / had in Domino.

@Citizen Kaned - myself and others have pushed some damn good solutions out of Domino (IMHO) - but you are right in as much as the low barrier to entry in Notes development can encourage self-limiting solutions (particularly on the scalability front). Also I agree with you that Notes Designer is about 15 years behind the times (admittedly 8.5.1 will close that gap somewhat).

As for the IBM website - personal bugbear of nearly every IBM user / dev I have ever met. Honestly the quickest way to find anything at ibm.com - use Google. I swear that site was designed by people who have never used a computer.

WTF is for IBM - they're their own worst enemy.
