Comment Re:There's at least one clear takeaway from this.. (Score 1, Interesting) 83

It wasn't a load problem. The setup was just wrong (recursive resolvers used as authoritative servers didn't answer non-recursive queries correctly). It wouldn't have worked if Microsoft had given it all the CPU power and network capacity in the world. Garbage in, garbage out.

The takeaway is either:

1. No business should use Azure because Azure doesn't scale. OR:
2. No business should rely on Microsoft services, because Microsoft does not have the necessary competence.

This is only the latest in a line of screwups by Microsoft in their service offerings.

Great, you list the types of places they almost always have bad power.
Unless you 200 suite apartment has a high quality power system., you neighbors blender use could impact you power quality.

I pay less the 5 dollar for all my CFLs, and 5.26 for dim-able Phillips 60 watt bulb. I bought it last weekend.
I bought it to replace a CFL in my sons room that had been there for 4 years, and it's on for over 10 hours a day.

It's not irrational to suspect power. BTW: many thing will work fine with dirty power, so keep that in mind.

"When the power is good enough for more than a dozen computers, two laptops, a 60" TV, a LCD projector, an oscope, about $20k worth of stereo equipment, nearly $10k worth of HAM radio equipment, and tons of other electronic equipment, then it must be power that is the problem. If there was a problem, something else would have quit."
You are either a liar or the most ignorant ham operator I have every met when it come to electricity.

"When the power is good enough for more than a dozen computers,"
with a power supply that helps clean the power during conversion from AC to DC.

" an oscope"
really, you have an Oscope, but don't understand how the power coming into it works?

I was going to take the rest part, but instead I'm just going to say, Lights are plug into the AC. There is no converter or batter. Incandescent bulbs can take freq drift, center line drift, bot reduction, and numerous other problems from bad wiring. In fact of you don't have any filters between those device and the wall, THEY could be the cause of dirty power.

FUCK! I jst saw you are AC. I"m not going to cancel because someone might actual need to know this and I've written it already.

You lying prick.
