"I christen thee ... PR flop of the decade!""I christen thee ... PR flop of the decade!"Posted May 21, 2004 17:04 UTC (Fri) by jre (guest, #2807)Parent article: A followup from Andrew Tanenbaum Prof. Tanenbaum has the following recommendation: When The Brown Book comes out, there will no doubt be a lot of publicity in the mainstream media. Any of you with contacts in the media are actively encouraged to point reporters to this page and my original statement to provide some balance.And this is from Brown's most important source! I cannot recall offhand any book with less auspicious circumstances surrounding its publication. My mental image is of a ship being launched, slipping out of the ways, and immediately turning belly-up.

Belly up? Posted May 21, 2004 18:21 UTC (Fri) by The_Pirate (guest, #21740) [Link] There is actually some precedence for that... The Royal ship "Wasa" in the harbour of Stockholm a few hundred years back... And a few years back the Danish navy managed to topple and sink one of our own subs while in dry dock... :)
