Cringley speculates like hell:
Delta Airlines last night suffered a major power outage at its data center in Atlanta that led to a systemwide shutdown of its computer network, stranding airliners and canceling flights all over the world. You already know that. What you may not know, however, is the likely role in the crisis of IT outsourcing and offshoring.
Do any Soylentils have inside/better information?

No I don't know and I don't care. I made a vow to boycott air travel until the TSA is eliminated, and Jetsetting assholes like you are keeping Delta in business instead. I want to see every airline go bankrupt. I want to see the airline industry demand change from the fascist regime. You're just a complacent piece of shit. Fuck you to hell, supporter of state terrorism.

You forgot to add: "WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!"
Can you tell us something about FEMA camps, too?

I think everybody would be a lot happier if they refused to knuckle under the fear-mongering and security theatre, but that's just me apparently.

People don't like to think. You're a statistical aberration.

Well, I guess this whole site is a statistical anomaly. :-)

If it was a Fascist government you'd have a say in it. In Fascism the many corporations (which are groups of people, not only companies, so there is one corporation for the aviation industry, another for IT workers, etc) would discuss and resolve the issue. With a Republic you get no say except on election day.
