    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.

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

      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.

      Devs and helpdesk would always love to occupy the opposite camps.

          I am sorry about that. Thanks for pointing it out. The 'Message Type' icon has been corrected. It was an inadvertantly incorrect mouse click.

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

              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.

                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

                    Yeah, it always seemed crazy overkill, though these days I think it could be done with a virtual lan.
