The Register Saves Los Alamos Lab Website From Hooligans
Ashlee Vance writes on The Register:
Forget managing a $2.2bn weapons lab, Los Alamos National Security is struggling just to keep its web site up.More here.
LANS - the new manager of the famed Los Alamos National Laboratory - allowed the registration of its web site to lapse last week and didn't fix the problem until being contacted about it by The Register. The site lansllc.com tossed up a Go Daddy expiration page for days. Ever the alert citizens, we looked to purchase the site in order to hand it over to Los Alamos. Go Daddy, however, said that its fantastic customer service results in clients receiving a 92-day grace period for site renewals.
Hoping LANS would take care of the matter itself, we then called the company to let it know about the problem. A LANS official said the downed web site had gone unnoticed. She then added that management would debate what to do with the site next and might leave it down to save money.
Tellingly, the site went live again with a new registration about an hour after we called.
