      Probably hosted on Nokia Siemens Network and they're now all on strike.

      No surprise they're making loads redundant. Blame server virtualisation. Where it took a team to maintain 100 servers it now takes one person to maintain one server containing 100 virtual servers.

      Eventually the whole internet will be on one server with one network guy running it.
      Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

        Someone can't count!

        Telegraph says 13% of the workforce

        BBC says 23% of the workforce

        The vegetarian option.

              It's the Telegraph!! They've now recalculated their figures and agree with the BBC's 23%.
