They're not out of stock, they just fscked their reservation system.  Our
contract says that we get the special rate as long as they actually have
rooms available.  We'll post another announcement when the reservation
problems get fixed; at that point, we'll give ya'll the option of giving
us your reservation number (and we'll fix it for you) or handling the
problem yourselves.

"Given that C++ has pointers and typecasts, it's really hard to have a serious 
conversation about type safety with a C++ programmer and keep a straight face.
It's kind of like having a guy who juggles chainsaws wearing body armor 
arguing with a guy who juggles rubber chickens wearing a T-shirt about who's 
in more danger."  --Roy Smith
