Peak oil panic? Dubai or not Dubai?

Harry, please ignore the deniersThey will try to quash any voice of reason. I believe they hope to maneuver themselves into a position where they can argue that they should not be affected by the consequences because they don't believe in man-made climate change.

Annual cost of IT failure: $6.2 trillion

I'm not buying their claims.. It looks like they're declaring all IT activities as a failure which is patently ridiculous.. The companies I support rarely experience a failure. I do the product evaluations up front and determine if a product is worthy of purchase and deployment. I use...
