Ray Colladay is the acting DARPA head who used to sign my travel at NASA HQ.
Are you sure it's not a cube "10 inches on a side?"  That is completely
foreseeable.  SO WHAT?

I am here on a one time fishing expedition to check something (asked by
work).  You guys are still doing foreign language requirement postings?
Gawd! Who could have designed a news interface to handle that, of all

Last word on this: the people in graphics don't have anything to worry about,
their bibliographies have been maintained by a German and an Indian and thus
have extremely good foreign language coverage. [so move this to
sci.lang if you want to follow this line.]
