Well, apparently they're disgruntled because allegedly they're getting private medical treatment denied because the premium's are not being paid, and they've been asked to salary for 2 months not as cash, but as share options.
It wasn't a power issue as such, but the way their chillers reponded to two quick power fluctuations in succession:
This is what they said:
Without notifying us, the utility providers cut power, and at that exact moment we were 15 minutes into cycling up the data centerâ(TM)s chillers. Our back up generators kicked in instantaneously, but the transfer to backup power triggered the chillers to stop cycling and then to begin cycling back up againâ"a process that would take on average 30 minutes. Those additional 30 minutes without chillers meant temperatures would rise to levels that could irreparably damage customersâ(TM) servers and devices. We made the decision to gradually pull servers offline before that would happen. And I know we made the right decision, even if it was a hard one to make.
They might well be serving bing regionally through Akamai's web application accelerator.
So bing runs on IIS at microsoft, akamai serves to customers on their edge platform.
What is broken is the Microsoft mindset where they have encouraged the end user that it is normal to run any program you find anywhere, with admin privileges and let it install.
Regardless of UAC or not, that model of software distribution is totally unworkable.
Any signature based anti-malware system will fail to cope with that- it will time lag as new threats emerge.
That is just crazy way of doing things. Windows Security Essentials is a band aid, and doesn't address at all what windows needs: Proper, trusted package management, with safe repositories.
How is a "hardware firewall" going to protect you from, for e.g drive by downloads?
How do you know that the various office exploits uncovered from time to time don't extend all the way back to Office 97?
You just can't 'protect' against "viruses" (malware is probably a better definition) with a signature based anti-malware app that is post-updated when viruses are discovered.
The current market has been distorted because Microsoft charged you for the browser in the OS purchase fee and bundled it, there by killing the paid-for browser market.
They *do* charge for it. You have to pay for it whether you use it or not, the price is part of your OS. Those developers are not working for free, and MS doesn't run that business unit out of the good of their heart.

If they're using the Technet / MSDN install at home as a NAS, it's probably not legal.
Will people pay to read The Sun online? Interesting idea, but seems unlikely.
Do you mean 1985 European GP @ Brands Hatch? That last GP (british) was held at Brands Hatch in 1986.
Humans look at every message, not some. The patent explains this quite clearly: http://www.ipexl.com/patents/en/USPTOApps/Spinvox_Limited/Doulton_Daniel_Michael/20090170478.html
There have been some pretty serious allegations against the company made here in the last few days: http://paidcontent.co.uk/article/419-spinvox-paying-staff-in-stock-to-save-on-costs/

That isn't quite right, re: their 2007 outage.

Because news collection just doesn't work like this at all.
This book is well worth a read on how news is collected, and becomes news. It's quite depressing reading.
So i'm logged in so i can use igoogle and personally identifiable to google & their analytics whereever i go on the web? No thanks.

There would only be grounds for such a claim if they bundled it with windows.
The likelihood of being caught, or the risk is probably a large factor.
There are private addresses in IPv6. That said, NAT is _not_ a form of security.

OS X, like windows, or linux, is not immune to someone choosing to install malware, whether it is on grounds of greed, social engineering, or otherwise. So don't pretend that it isn't. i.e : http://www.chotocheeta.com/2009/01/23/apple-os-x-gets-a-virus-attack-p2p-distributed-iwork-09-comes-with-osxtrojaniservicesa-trojan-horse/
That is no protection at all.
This happened to me on a brand new macbook i was configuring earlier. After a reboot it installed (after downloading it again).

If they were convicted monopolists, go ahead!
Updates in Vista uses a seperate contral panel applet, presumably its the same in 7.

I think you'd find that many on-line casinos are already regulated by the countries they are based on. There are many that are not, of course.
