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?
