Submission + - Cisco routers to blame for huge Japan net outtage

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: Cisco routers were the source of a major outage May 15 in an NTT network in Japan, according to an investment firm bulletin. Between 2,000 and 4,000 Cisco routers went down for about 7 hours in the NTT East network after a switchover to backup routes triggered the routers to rewrite routing tables, according to a bulletin from CIBC World Markets. The outage disconnected millions of broadband Internet users across most of eastern Japan. http://www.networkworld.com/news/2007/051607-cisco -routers-major-outage-japan.html

Submission + - Crazy non-compete contracts???

A group of friends who work for a small web design firm are being forced to sign a non-compete agreement with a clause that prohibits the employee from working with a competing company for 12 months after the date of their leaving. Is this a common thing? And what has happened to people who have signed these things? The owners claim it's a standardly practiced clause but I don't see how the hell a web developer/designer is supposed to find work in a city for a year without moving to a completely different city. I'd like more input as to how this weighs in to the rest of the companies out there."
