"NOTHING was moving. International travelers flying into Los Angeles International Airport — more than 17,000 of them — were stuck on planes for hours one day in mid-August after computers for the United States Customs and Border Protection agency went down and stayed down for nine hours."After reading this, I am reassured that the recent BRT article titled The Long Emergency (09/06/2007) had legs when the issue of infrastructure was discussed regarding the inherent difficulties new tech experiences when introduced into the wilds of the real world. After reading the NYC piece, it appears that the same difficulties apparently applies to existing tech as well but hey, techies already know this first hand. I know I do.
I rest my case.
