    Indian Space Research Center has announced a Moon Mission Launch in September: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/Moon_mission_launch_in_September/articleshow/3115579.cms[^] Considering the increasing number of space travel researches by various countries, it is generally felt that, it would not be much delay when international travel and tourism operators include travels to other planets also as part of their travel offerings.

        Maybe it was the page he linked to. I counted three popups. I could barely read the article for all the flyover crap that kept showing up. The text itself was barely visible for all the ads.

                Until very recently (a couple of months ago), IE6 was the only browser allowed in the building. The company's intranet site would puke all over itself if used with IE7, Firefox, etc. :rolleyes: Given the draconian approach to IT policy here by the corporate goon squads, I've not bothered to upgrade to IE7 yet.

                  Personally I use firefox with the IETab addin. It lets you switch to an embedded IE view with a quick click for those annoying few sites that just don't work with FF. Not much you can do though if they ban anything but IE.

                      If you had seen http://www.rediff.com/[^], the situation is still very hilarious. For some reasons, these funny dot com companies are so very gorgeously carried our by those wrecked popups and popunders.

                        Indeed. I have enough conflict with corporate IT policy as it is. I'm a developer, and I require admin privileges on the PC's I use. I routinely have to circumvent group policy settings and other crap in order to do my job effectively. I'm waiting for the black helicopters to hover outside my office window, and to have the pocket-protector ninjas come bursting through it.

                          And considering the fuel price hike. I fear they may cut short packages to certain destination than offering packages to other planets.:-)

                            This is the second postponement of the launch. Maybe putting a rocket on the moon isn't as easy as it looks on TV.

                                    I have corrected the 'Message Type' icon. It was a wrong selection caused by a trip of the mouse.

                                      Indeed. I have enough conflict with corporate IT policy as it is. I'm a developer, and I require admin privileges on the PC's I use. I routinely have to circumvent group policy settings and other crap in order to do my job effectively. I'm waiting for the black helicopters to hover outside my office window, and to have the pocket-protector ninjas come bursting through it.

                                      Ah, one of the joys of corporate development I won't be missing anytime soon. Whenever I talked with the goons at one of my old jobs the only suggestion I got was setting up a completely separate network.

                                      I can imagine the sinking feeling one would have after ordering my book, only to find a laughably ridiculous theory with demented logic once the book arrives - Mark McCutcheon

                                        We've occasionally considered doing that, but the costs usually outweigh the benefits. The primary costs would be losing outside access to our source control data base and its IT-provided automated backup. We would also have some support issues, since we would have to spend the time and effort managing this resource ourselves. Thus far we've found workarounds for the corporate policy issues. If they become insurmountable, we will reconsider.

                                          Looks like your mouse is doing some unnecessary trips.

                                          This has been discussed, again and again and again and always we (the denizens of the CP lounge) have come to the conclusion that their method of rating is pure, untouched, unadulterated, genuine, verifiable, refined trash. MIM on TIOBE
