<Z-Gryphon> today's random photo: war room? Death Star weapons control center? No! it's the operations center at Potomac TRACON! <Z-Gryphon> http://tinyurl.com/7r5r8b3 <Philip-M> yah, I can believe it. <Z-Gryphon> it's kind of sad how many critically important facilities in the world today are visually indistinguishable from the NOC at GTE Internetworking circa 1998. At least Potomac TRACON has that cool supervillain-HQ ceiling going on. <Z-Gryphon> I saw a documentary about a European science satellite launch one time, and the ESA's equivalent of Mission Control also looks just like the network ops center at a mid-level backbone ISP. <Z-Gryphon> oddly, the people who work there even look like mid-level backbone ISP NOC monkeys. :) <Z-Gryphon> they even wear the same kind of customized logo polo shirts. <Z-Gryphon> no organization engaged in the serious exploration of outer space should allow polo shirts. <Z-Gryphon> They send a message, and that message is, I may only be a Movie Gallery branch manager now, but in six years I'm going to be district supervisor for the entire tri-state area.--G. -><- Benjamin D.
