Uhm, Haven't you ever heard of the Streisand Effect?

Just sayin,

Do you live in the NYC area? Were you here for Sept 11th and the ensuing days? Were you here for the weeks of the smell of burnth metal and cooking meat that wafted up downtown Manhattan? Did you spend your waking hours in the dirt and dust and the wreckage of downtown volunteering any way you could to help out in the days after?

If you did, and you can say what you say, then you must be a better person than I am.

Most days I don't even think about it anymore. Which is nice.

But that plane, that I didn't even see myself, made me flinch when I heard about it. It brought up some unexpected emotions.

So if a lot of people who work in the surrounding high rise offices near it decided it was time to get out of the building....then it was time to go...then it was the right decision.

Maybe its "just not that big a deal" to a lot of people these days...but surprisingly, its still a little raw here.

Had it been a helicopter....this wouldn't be an issue. It was however a 747 circling highrises.

Easy enough to say...

Sure, millions of people cowering everyday while they go about their lives....oh yeah, no everyone is pretty much over it. That said, when something that *does not* happen, does happen, especialy when its a low flying commercial jet seeming circling Hi Rise buildings in the Manhattan area, sorry that definitely touched some raw nerves.

Don't be pedantic. Context is pretty much the High Rise Business areas of manhattan. Clearly, its not disturbing if you live in the flight path.

Planes don't fly low here anymore. Its not allowed. Certainly not 747s. For the people that were here Sept 11, 2001(I was one of the many)....its very upsetting, disturbing....to look up and see a plane that low and near. So don't jump to conclusions about people over-reacting. Its a real thing for New Yorkers and others in the area.

"The new device, dubbed Project California, takes servers into new territory by cramming computer power into the very box that contains storage capacity"

Are telling me that Cisco put a computer in a box where the Disks are?!??!?!?! Thats ground breaking! Amazing! Unheard of! I mean, wow, can you imagine if HP/Dell had thought this up First...instead of Proj California....maybe they would have called it a DL380! Or Sun, an dcall it a Thumper! Cisco is truely the inovator!

Side note, I actually saw an article on this yesterday that had the nerve to use the phrase "lower CAPEX" and the word Cisco in the same sentence.

Highlarious.
