Shows the problems with polls. What is "well known" will always beat out "what is good."

Right. I like a number of those businesses. But I doubt I would call any of them the best.

The cheesecake factory is even on the list? That place is an abomination.

That would be better than Taco Bell, at least in my book. Doesn't make either of them good!

I'd take Taco Bell over that any day.

They didn't before. I was a senior manager at IBM without one. Apple has gone after me hard in the past and never needed one. Google, I would never consider so I have no experience.
Shows how much those companies say that they need them publicly, but never really did internally.

11 day closure of a science lab because a janitor was using their wifi for cp.
Seriously makes no sense, and just fuels thoughts of some sort of coverup. -

Seriously makes no sense, and just fuels thoughts of some sort of coverup.The janitor saw a UFO.
Edit: And NASA has to make sure it wasn't the Russians.

Seriously makes no sense, and just fuels thoughts of some sort of coverup.Or, at least, justifies the distrust of the FBI. Catching people getting CP is good, but using that as an excuse to punish an unrelated entity? Clearly either abject incompetence, or competence in nefarious activities.

Totally agree.
First off, if the janitor was watching cp on a government computer, why did they have creds to the network? Doesn't make sense why the janitor would need computer resources. Second, arrest the janitor (no matter what, because cp is illegal whether it was at work or at home) and clean the computer. Supposedly the janitor was on the wifi, and could have been on their personal computer or phone. Some IT person need to be fired because they didn't properly secure the network and the janitor still needs to be arrested. No need in shutting down the observatory.
I've heard all kinds of "theories" from Chinese espionage to the telescope got a glimpse of "the death star" because the death star eclipsed the sun and the earth.
My theory? White sands is an active missile testing range for the military. They were probably testing an experimental rocket and, somehow, the observatory caught a glimpse of the top secret rocket and just it down. This is just a REALLY bad cover up. (In a past life, I once lived in Carlsbad, NM and heard people talk about the missile range while I worked for another government agency.)
