Since I work at Fermilab (Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory)... I saw an article on Slashdot about it...

Slashdot about Fermilab (http://science.slashdot.org/science/04/05/26/2358219.shtml?tid=134&tid=152&tid=185)

Just think.... you could "touch up" a picture one pixel at a time to really make anyone look HOT.

The crazy thing is your lab probably didn't even feel the Slashdot effect... It's good to have a big pipe! (as it relates to data transfer... NO SNICKERING!!!!)

One time me and -tk were talking about what the "OC" stood for... I think it was around the time we put our servers on the OC48 here..... We came to the conclusion that OC stands for "OH CRAP that's fast"..... :D
