CBC.ca was the same way when I checked it this morning. I had to sniff around a minute to find it. It's on there now, but it comes and goes.

You think it'd be the biggest news on there.

Reuters sucks. I don't use em'. I have a personal experience with meeting the Reuters information machine.

I interviewed for a job using this xtra 3000 computer with 3 large monitors in a big room full of computers that looked like something out of a science fiction movie, but the job was only for $8.50 an hour with a mean boss. It was for some sort of processing of financial market information and handling demanding calls from Wall Street traders and brokers for specific technical information. The place was a real pressure cooker like I'd never seen before.

The woman who was to be my boss interviewed me and hired me, but was very intimidating and mean so I decided I wasn't going to work in that tin can. They'd hire anyone with a degree and the computer skills and then not pay them anything, treat them like poo, and claim it's a privileged to work in a Star Trek bridge command center looking room.

Reuters doesn't have it's priorities straight...
