Well, their brass did.  Check out their IPO filing sometime on EDGAR (I
don't have the URL handy)...Mr. Battista and Co. have incredible bonuses,
salaries and stock options, then double-dip by getting the SAIC share as
well.  I personally consider them modern corporate raiders (remember them?
Buy a company, milk it, then break it up and sell the pieces) with the
Internet as their corporation.

Has InterNIC ever even gotten around to installing their off-site backups?

What do spammers and nails have in common?  They're both intended for
hammering.
