The DNS server dropped my ip out of the table, so I couldn't collect my mail or anything as I was an "untrusted IP" I phoned up the computer room, explained what had happened, and asked if they could fix the problem. "We don't have anyone here who really knows about DNS servers, so if anything goes wrong with it, we just reboot it" was the reply.
Is there no way that companies could sue Microsoft due to loss of business / bandwidth charges, caused indirectly by poorly written software?
This thing must have consumed quite a lot of bandwidth, and if you're on a "pay per mb" connection, its going to cost you a lot.
"The first successful atomically driven liners began to run in 1970 after the U. S. Navy had carried on many expensive, large-scale secret experiments. Outwardly the liners are not much different from the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, but they have much more cargo and passenger space because it is no longer necessary to carry about 12,000 tons of fuel"
