Snake: In New York $20 is the going price for a lap dance at any respectible place. Ridiculous but the girls get it. The places are still crowded. Mostly with business men taking their clients or rich older men who can't get it at home so they go there.

CIA warns of Y2K problems in Russia,China WASHINGTON, Feb 24 (Reuters) - The year 2000 computer bug problem could cause havoc in some countries, ranging from defective nuclear reactors and early warning systems in Russia to banking glitches in China, the CIA said on Wednesday. Gen. John Gordon, deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency, told a Senate Armed Services Committee panel while the United States was well-equipped to deal with year 2000 computer problems, many foreign countries were not. ''Foreign countries trail the United States in addressing Y2K problems by at least several months and in many cases much longer,'' he said. The millennium problem arises because many older computers record dates using only the last two digits of the year. If left uncorrected, such systems could treat the year 2000 as the year 1900, generating errors or system crashes next Jan. 1. Countries least prepared included Russia, China and many states in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Russia, Gordon said, had a talented pool of programmers but lacked the time, organization and funding to address the issue. He predicted Russia could have some difficulty with the early warning systems it uses to monitor foreign missile launches. A Defense Department delegation visited Moscow last week to address this problem. Gordon said the CIA was very ''attentive'' to the possibility that foreign strategic missile systems, particularly in Russia and China, could be hit by year 2000 problems. For example, liquid-fueled missiles stored in silos needed to be monitored for fuel leaks and other defects. However, Gordon stressed the CIA did not foresee the automatic launch of Chinese or Russian missiles, or nuclear weapons going off due to computer problems.
