Santa Laid Off World Control issued a terse statement today; Do to an excess of bean counters, and spreading ill will through out the planet Santa has been terminated effective immediately. All present deliveries will be sent UPS ground. The raindeer have been put down and made into stew which will be given away free to poor unemployed Enron executives.World Control stock posted a 2 point gain in yesterdays trading due to rumors of the lay off.
Sadly, that seems to be the gist of it - except it was DARPA, not corporate, bean counters. Anyone want to bet that everything Trek has developed will be effectively (some of it actually) discarded or demolished, and that little to no serious salvage of what DARPA got for its tax dollars will happen? ...I don't suppose, if that were to happen, there would be any chance that Trek could at least be persuaded to publish what they've done so far, so that the next crew who tries to do it won't have to repeat most of their work? _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
