compress, files. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS FILE UNDER ANY

Not long ago, after introducing the web search interface, someone
commented that response was amazingly fast.  Now we're caught red-handed
with the first Trans-Warp (tm) Millenium (tm) processor we have been
doing beta-testing for the secretive HP-NASA-DoD-United Federation of

momentarily compromised, and time/space was distorted in the immediate
vicinity of the processor.

Either that, or there was a misconfigured network time sync service
being tested on the NT machine.  Take your pick :-)
