Service was 'restored' yesterday..... but with the same errors:
"Network Error (dns_server_failure)
Your request could not be processed because an error occurred contacting the DNS server.
The DNS server may be temporarily unavailable, or there could be a network problem.
For assistance, contact your network support team."
this was after browsing to the Australian bureau of statistic web site....
I call shenanigans.

Writing, according to the NRA is incompatible. they would state that the index finger should only be used for one thing: pulling the trigger. Forget safeties, forget trigger locks, forget something as faggie (American usage only here, no limp wristed british verbiage allowed, this is 'merka, son) as writin'.
Used to work for an SMSF house in Australia. I remember that just patching the systems (even when we knew it would not bork the systems) would require the approval of the corporate managers (who never had time to talk because they were attending meetings). I developed a reputation of being a hard-ass about security, which probably limited my chances for advancement there. In the end, our company was sold to another one, who believed in deadlines over little things like security or robustness. I was given a redundancy package..... This news surprises me..... Not!
Unneccesary. In the end, whoever is behind the wheel is responsible. Does it really matter why they did it?
Yes, I have seen black ice conditions where one car rear-ended another, who rear-ended the one in front of them, and on down the line.... Everyone in the line is responsible.... the question is who pays... and the answer is: whoever rear ends the car in front of them pays.... well, the driver does... cars don't usually drive themselves. additional charges of reckless driving should also follow.
In the end, it comes down to control of the vehicle.
If you are texting while driving, you are in control of the vehicle... you are liable.
If you are talking to anyone, you are in control of the vehicle.... you are liable.
If you are eating while driving, you are in control of the vehicle.... you are liable.
If you skid off the road because of road conditions, you are still in control of the vehicle.... you are liable.
Bottom line: your backside is in the driver's seat. You are controlling the vehicle (if cruise control is on, you turned it on. You have made the decision to give control, but you are still responsible for what happens to it). Whatever happens, you are responsible. if you kill someone while driving, you should be cited for vehicular homicide, as you caused the car to hit the person (if the person 'just jumped out in front of you, you were driving recklessly, too fast for the conditions... its still your fault). If you skid off the road, your fault too (for the same reasons). LEO needs to simply apply the existing laws. Having a drivers license is a certification that you are responsible to drive... and if you are not, then you are committing a crime.... and it should simply be treated as such.
a better option.... for customers (where voice calls over copper are still, in many cases, local, untimed and unbilled?) or for verizon (where customers are billed twice, once for making the call, and a second time to receive the call, and both are a per minute charge)... just asking
Or, Perhaps MS can take that $10k per person and put it towards, oh, I don't know, education in the Puget Sound area, so they can grow their own talent?
Or, perhaps, just perhaps..... they can move their licensing division to a place outside Nevada, so that for every software license, they would actually fill the coffers of state government, so that the state government can invest in things like education.
Or Maybe its just that Microsoft wants to push the US government into removing all immigration laws in order to lower the rates they pay for skilled IT work.
