Linux User Saves Hotmail -- 10:06 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

I've seen links to this all over the place. It seems there was an outage in Micro$oft's much-maligned Hotmail system over the Christmas holiday. Why? Because they forgot to pay Network Solutions for their domain name. Ummm. Yeah. Some enterprising young man (a Linux user, no less) wanted to get his email so he put the registration on his credit card to restore service. I would certainly hope that M$ would give him a little more than the $35 for keeping their sorry butts afloat. Check News.com for the story.
