RedundancyIsn't redundancy so wonderful in the way it avoids total outages? Oh - wait a minute. They can't have had any. Let this be a lesson to network planners everywhere. | |

It's a huge problemThis is going to cause a lot of problems, its not just India but most of the traffic between Europe and the middle and far east. Its going to cause big problems too for many American companies with operations in those countries, for example airlines, travel companies etc. Many people are going to have to work tonight. | |

I think "outsourcing capital of the world" would be a better descriptor. | |

Re: bye bye tech supportsaid by Apophis:Oh no, there goes dell tech support center.... You're kidding!!! Last time I called Dell tech support, the fellow on the other end ASSURED me his name was Greg. I called another time, and spoke to a nice young lady. Her name was Marsha. I asked her if I could talk to Cindy or Jan. That was when Marsha told me it was all about MARSHA MARSHA MARSHA! Then, 1974 rolled around. Cousin "the jinx" Oliver showed up, sliced a fiber optic cable and ruined the whole damn thing. I knew that Tiki was TABOO!!!! | |

Re: bye bye tech supportI always get "Ross", "Rachel" or "Phoebe." I ask for "Ugly Naked Guy" or failing that Roj, Dee, Rerun, Dwayne or Miz Thomas. One of them will have the answer.

Hm.Didn't something similar to this happen already last year? I imagine it was to different countries in the middle east though...or perhaps I was wrong.
Either way I imagine there will be quite a few business troubles. | |
