Curious to see which big companies were caught flat-footed during the 18 November outage compared with today. In my opinion, if a company was caught out twice, that reflects poor decision-making and urgency. As the saying goes, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

If a company was able to overcome all the red tape within three weeks and not be impacted today, that's impressive.

This is to be expected from any large corporation. In my experience, this sort of infighting leads to low morale and wastes a significant amount of energy that could be directed somewhere far more productive.

Am I the only one who was introduced to the concept of font licensing after reading this?

Also how would you enforce the 25,000 user limit or is this just from a contractual perspective.

Maybe I’m overlooking something, but wouldn’t this be similar to an instinct that is preprogrammed from natural selection? For example, sea turtles know they need to move from the beach toward the ocean, and spiders know how to spin their species specific web pattern. No-one teaches the sea turtles or spiders how to do this. Wouldn't this be the same for our thoughts and thinking?
