Randomness

I have discovered that the odds are much higher that your home machine will BSOD during the 9 hours of the day your at work and need to RDP into it, rather than when your at home.

The odds are also high that your roommate will unplug your room from the network and and complain that he cant get on the internet, not realising that the router happens to be on your switch, ah, the beauty of VLANs. Oh, and why is he unplugging you? Because he constantly blaims you for bad "ping" times on WoW. Yes, WoW.

If you cant get a DeviantArt clone to work on a dual Xeon 2.whatever, you need to be shot.

Also, the likelyness of a user complaining about an outage is the inverse of how much they paid.

Also, the likelyness of a user complaining about an outage is the inverse of how much they paid.

I most strenuously disagree here. In my experience, the likelihood of a user complaining about an outage is directly proportional to how much they get paid.

Yes, its directly perportional to how much they get paid, but outside of your org, its always inversely perportional to how much they paid.

paid, not get paid.

[kizayaen.livejournal.com]

Good catch. I completely missed that lack of "get".

I withdraw my statement with apologies to kayfox.

WoW problems are mostly caused by routing issues in the AT&T network that provides connectivity to the WoW servers.

In this household, WoW problems are caused by said roomates bf using bittorrent. Or said roomate fsking with the equipment.
