Gaming 3 May 2014

Last night, we had some friends over.  We played Ticket to Ride.  I wasn’t playing to win really (most of the people hadn’t played).  About 1/2 way through, I thought I really had a chance.  Well, everyone else saw 2 choke-points in my router…well, I couldn’t recover.  I ended up and finished with 2 routes undone…but they were worth 20 and 21 points.  That is -41 off my score.

Weird Advert

While I was in London a few days ago, I saw this sign–often.  A bit of background:  there’s tons of discussion here around expanding airports, building a new one, or some mix.  LGW has these adds running.

The part I don’t get is the environmental angle.  Assuming that the elevation, temperature, and other variables are apx the same, wouldn’t a given airplane pollute the same regardless of what airport it took off from?  It doesn’t make much sense to me…

data location…

Sure you let me keep my data in one country…but that doesn’t mean it can’t be accessed through the super secret national security letters you can’t talk about.

Something tells me that Oracle and sap wouldn’t have been happy with that last slide.  Way to proofread the presentation.

Oracle isn’t split between line…neither is sap
