Let's face it - they're going to have to come up with much more creative $200/hour chucklehead consultants to burn through that much anytime soon. Of course, I've long suspected that the 90% of the universe that's "dark matter" is all contained inside the craniums of all those chucklehead consultants (which is why they're so resistant to interactions with cluons from the rest of reality), so there's unfortunately a definite growth potential there... Anybody feel like starting a pool for when we'll see a posting to NANOG about somebody who's managed to burn through a /32?
