FEATURED TIP
Avoid these storage ROI pitfalls
At many shops, adding incremental storage is an operational expense that few people analyze deeply, if at all, from a cost-versus-benefit point of view. Storage is simply considered a cost of doing business, much like buying a few additional PCs might be.

THE MISSING LINK
Dinner no longer 'servered' on Texas prison site

If you're a big fan of the Texas prison system's Web site (and who isn't?), you're going to go hungry for one detail: the infamous last meal on death row. Past repasts of the condemned have been posted on the site -- everything from one prisoner's tea and cookies to another's request for two chili cheese dogs, two cheeseburgers, onion rings, a turkey salad with fries, egg rolls, chocolate cake, apple pie, butter pecan ice cream, one peach, three Dr Peppers, jalapenos, ketchup and mayonnaise. But officials in Texas, which has the busiest death row in the U.S., have dropped the morbid menu from the site. Why? People complained that it was in poor taste. (Reuters)
