Hi all,

What's wrong with this picture?  Well, opening sentence...

   IronPort Threat Operations Center

   The 24x7x365 IronPort Threat Operation Center provides human
   oversight to ensure speed and accuracy. Experienced analysts use
   sophisticated tools to verify anomalies and approve automatically
   generated Outbreak Rules.

(and nit-picks about leap years don't count).
Oooh, I know, I know. That should be 24x7x52, or maybe 24x365. Or maybe
1x8760?

I believe 24/7 covers it. Why the rest?

because 24/7x365 = 1251.43? :-)

btw, true marketing drone should write it as 60^2x24x7x4x28x30x31x365, 
which is long. so, in next round, he will rewrite it as 60^2x8n 
(numbers) or 10n and should call it 'quality management methodology'.
