The UK has a set of IT process standards that originated in the Office of Government Commerce, a part of the Treasury. (Think of the "Treasury" as a combination of the U.S. IRS and GAO and you're in the ballpark). Known as ITIL, these are now a de facto international standard for IT service management. However, like ISO standards, there is a whole consulting industry built around them because the text of the standards is not free.

A P71 Crown Vic costs over half as much again as a regular one. They have uprated _everything_ even before you start adding lights and radios. Most taxis are the P72 variant, though second had cop cars are popular, not least for the "stab plate" in the back of the seats :-/

Submission + - GCC Compiler will finally gets replace by BSD PCC. (undeadly.org)

Sunnz writes: "A leaner, lighter, faster, and most importantly, BSD Licensed Compiler PCC has been imported into OpenBSD's CVS and NetBSD's pkgsrc.

The compiler is based on the original Portable C Compiler by S. C. Johnson, written in the late 70's. Even though much of the compiler has been rewritten, some of the basics still remain.

It is currently not bug-free, but it compiles on x86 platform, and works being done on it to take on GCC's job."
