Amtrak Suffers Major Ticketing Meltdown

And of course:

"Massive Microsoft WGA Meltdown"

icleId=9032798

The Microsoft WGA meltdown has apparently been fixed, but it did
spark one of my favorite quotes of the day:

"Today's bizarre widespread Windows Genuine "validation" failure is just
another Microsoft penalty against legitimate customers."
