And what does that matter? How do we know that rats will be the cause of the next disruption? We don't know, that's just the fact. It could very well be sheep, trout, a shovel, etc., that is responsible for future cable breakery.
I'm not trying to be funny. His inability to obtain and maintain an erection is not a laughing matter. Frankly, I hope that he doesn't have diabetes or some other disease that is damaging the blood vessels inside his penile tissue.
BSD is often a very viable option for small web servers! Indeed, the security of OpenBSD is unmatched compared to many other operating systems (including the Windows 2003 Server that I gather you're advocating should be used instead).
Just out of curiosity, how big of a penis does that type of a rat have? I mean, you said the rat is delicious. I suppose you were talking about the body, but I'm asking about its penis. Could its penis be stuffed with its body meat to make a ratcock sausage?
I keep telling this to my fiance. I need at least four prostitutes to back her up. I don't know what bothers her more, the idea of being 'backed up' or being 'redundant'.
Why would you need four male prostitutes? You really don't have to resort to paying male whores to pleasure your woman. There are drugs out there, called penis drugs, that will make your erections actually erect. They might just cost less than these four male prostitutes you have hired (unless you got really cheap ones).
How do you know it was squirrels if no evidence was present? Frankly, that sounds a lot like the case of Sept. 11, where Arab terrorists were blamed for attacks, but no evidence of their involvement was ever found. Are you sure you weren't just looking for a scapegoat?
Like Matt says, it will be addressed very soon. Soon DragonflyBSD will be the premiere multithreaded operating system for use on multicore x86-based PCs.
Indeed, there are economic repercussions from extra redundancy. That's where the free market steps it. It will result in redundancy equilibrium: the amount of redundancy the marketplace is willing to financially bare. In this case, there is a possibility that their two lines were not enough, and the redundancy equilibrium may now shift to three lines as a result of this systemic failure.
Demanding compensation from Telecom would be pointless. Suppose they do pay out to those who were affected. Do you know what happens the next month? Their service rates skyrocket to recoup the money they lost during the payouts. In the end, those who received such compensation would likely pay it back two or three times over.
I had a coworker who would put little animations of erecting and ejaculating penises in many of our apps. You'd click on a menu for the fifth time within a 20 minute span, and up popped the animation. Yep, you guessed it. The penis would become hard, and then it would squirt the sperm!
One time he forgot to take out the animation from some software we had to present to librarians during a librarian's conference. Indeed, nothing was as funny as seeing hundreds of librarians cringe at the sight of such infantile humor.
Indeed, the release of Zeta (derived from BeOS) will also be a major player in the upcoming PC operating system future. BeOS offered the pinnacle of multithreading performance in the early 1990s. In fact, it was built from the bottom up to have a completely multithreaded microkernel, as well as a multithreaded GUI. That is why it will become one of the premiere operating systems to use on quad-core x86 CPUs in the very near future.
Binary independent redundancy is often not enough these days. Like this incident shows, a single backup system is not enough. You need at least four systems to have a somewhat reliable system.
Yes, mistakes were made and things have gone less than well. But have no fear! Ex-FreeBSD developer Matt Dillon to the rescue! For a fellow like yourself can use DragonflyBSD instead of FreeBSD 5.0. It offers the SMP capabilities you crave and need, without the Giant Lock syndrome of FreeBSD 5.0.

That's a pretty bold claim. Can you even offer any proof?

Maybe you're wrong. It was a funny joke.
Less commentary, more dimensions, please.
I wasn't being sarcastic, Gene. That was a really funny joke. It rings true in every sense.

Have you considered billing them yourself for the downtime, perhaps for the amount you paid for your non-functional service that day?
What? Do these men perform their art on your gonads rather than your wife? Is that what you meant?
Is that the address of the girl who just dumped your sorry nerd ass, or are you a pedophile soliciting sexual deviancy from minors?

What are the odds of rats chewing through a main trunk cable on the same day a local power company cutting a second main trunk?
Well, they must be pretty fucking good, considering it did just happen!
Well, that's the sort of mistreatment I'd expect from OSNews, not from Slashdot. Respect plays a key role in the everyday dealings of this site.

The mistreatment of such a respected and glorious veteran such as yourself is an utter mockery.
I was quite an OSNews fan until I saw that David Adams, the publisher of OSNews, posted a fake resignation here at Slashdot.
